      Are there any alternatives to smart styles? In order to stay up to date with our clients demands we have to have the current version of InDesign. Each time we upgrade our creative suite we have to pay for upgrades to the plug-ins. My question is: Are there any alternatives (that anyone has experience with) to smartstyles?

      Hi Dave,

      Smart Styles is a powerful plugin to apply formatting especially to tables. This works in many cases, but not in all cases, since you apply mostly local formatting and no paragraph and cell styles. I did not know any other plugin, that could do the same job! An alternative would be scripting. This would produce perfect results with styles, but isn’t flexible, if you have different layouts.

      All plugins have the same issue: If Adobe jump to a new version, you need a new version of the plugin.
