Most InDesign users are completely unaware of all the cool uses for slugs in their documents.
No, not that kind of slug.
I’m talking about the kind of slug that defines an area around the pages of your document, and can be used to include all sorts of useful information in printouts and PDF.
In the latest InDesign Secrets video at lynda.com, Anne-Marie Concepción demonstrates some great uses for slugs, like an area for approval signatures
as well as date and time stamps showing when the document was output.
So check out the InDesign Secrets video series at lynda.com. It’ll leave you feeling “sluggish”—but in a good way!
