In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Bart Van de Wiele explains how to place duplicate text in InDesign that is linked together. He copies text from one document and uses the Place and Link command to place that exact text in another document. Since it’s linked, updates in the original text will ripple through the placed text.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
