Don’t Like All Caps in the Interface? Try This For Some Relief.

I just got back from the New York City InDesign User Group meeting where I had the pleasure of joining Sandee Cohen and Dan Rodney in presenting some of the new features of InDesign CS4.

There’s usually some kind of little secret or trick revealed at these meeting but Dan came up with the coolest one of all. It was so cool that Sandee and I argued over who would get to post this. Guess who won? :)

No, it’s not a new feature, but sort of an Easter Egg and a way to get rid of the all caps in the panel labels:

panel labels are all uppercase

Good-Bye Upper Case
Here’s the trick that Dan demonstrated. Close InDesign and create a new folder in the InDesign application folder called noallcaps.

Just add a new folder and call it noallcaps

When you restart InDesign you’ll have a brand new look:

The Caps are gone!

This won’t work in the other Creative Suite applications but at least you’ll get some relief from the caps in InDesign.
