Any time someone asks me what’s my favorite InDesign feature, I tell them without a doubt, it’s Quick Apply. It makes the job of applying styles to a large amount of text so much faster and easier, I can’t imagine going without it. Geeks be warned: the instant gratification you get with Quick Apply is positively addictive.
But styling text isn’t all that you can do with Quick Apply. It gives you near-instant access to just about anything in InDesign, as Anne-Marie Concepción shows in the latest InDesign Secrets video at lynda.com.
In the video, Anne-Marie demonstrates how to use Quick Apply instead of digging through menus and submenus to find the feature you’re looking for. It’s also great for accessing features that you only use once in a while that don’t have keyboard shortcuts (or have obscure shortcuts that are impossible to remember).
So check out the video and learn how to do just about anything in InDesign a little quicker.
