News and special offers from our sponsors:

>> Rorohiko?s TextExporter 3.1 plug-in makes exporting text out of InDesign CS2-CS6 so simple! You can export all the stories in an ID file into one single RTF, plain text, or ID tagged text file, and you control how it orders the text as it extracts and concatenates it.  The RTF Export option now supports nested styles, which InDesign’s own RTF Export does not! Special for InDesignSecrets listeners: Use the coupon code INDESIGNSECRETS186 in the Rorohiko.com store to get 25% off the TextExporter plug-in.
