Are you the InDy geek in the office with twelve custom Print presets? Share the wealth and set up your co-workers with the same goodies (they’ll be extra nice to you on your next birthday). To create stand-alone presets (file type .prst) that you can put on a server or attach to an email, open the Define dialog box for that kind of preset. For example, choose File > Print Presets > Define to make Print Preset files. That’s where you’ll find the magical Save button that prompts you for a Save location (unlike the Save Preset button in the Print dialog box, which just includes presets in your InDesign Preferences file). Your co-workers should use this same dialog box to Load the presets you’ve so generously sent their way.
