ParticipantI also went from CS2 to CS5.
I watched the lynda.com “What's new in CSx…” tutorials on the ones in between, but then decided to watch David Blatner's Essential Training for CS5. Even though I've used InDesign for years, starting from the beginning reminded me of stuff I'd forgotten. So that's what I would recommend. And as you go along, you'll pick up on the differences between CS2 and CS5 without needing to know when the changes came about. It's 10.5 hours, but for $25 you can take a whole month to watch it all if you want.
ParticipantI was hoping someone would come along with an answer for you. Have you watched Gabriel Powell's 2-part tutorial on exporting to ePub? https://instantindesign.com/ind…..Publishing

May 1, 2010 at 2:50 pm in reply to: Does ID CS5 utilize the hyperthreading technology of the new i7 intel chip? #55612ParticipantHi, yes it does support multithreading, according to Ann-Marie in her lynda.com tutorial on the new features (which I just finished). You can especially see it at work when exporting large documents to PDF. It hands off the PDF export to another processor while you continue your work. There's a new panel called “Background Tasks” where you can see the progress of export(s).
As a newspaper designer, you should note the column-spanning, column-splitting, and balance columns features. I think those alone are worth the price of the upgrade.
To answer your other question, multithreading support started in Photoshop CS4.

ParticipantYou're right, Eugene. RTF works better than the PDF method, but like you said it only works one text frame at a time, and doesn't bring images in.
If you're just trying to bring text in and have multiple text frames, Rorohiko makes a plugin that will export all of them. See it at https://www.rorohiko.com/wordpr…..-exporter/
ParticipantThanks for that clarification. I always use Save As, or Package with more complex files, and I've had the good fortune not to have had corrupted files, yet.

ParticipantThanks Eugene. I've used that trick of exporting to .inx but it bears repeating.
If you copy a file and re-use it there is a chance that it will become corrupt overtime.
Really? Are you referring to a file that's been saved-as multiple times?
ParticipantOlá!
As far as I know, you can't “export” from InDesign to Word, but you can save a PDF as a Word file. It isn't pretty, though. Just think of all the wonderful features you use in Idd that don't exist in Word and you'll realize why your end product may look like a train wreck. I tried it that way before myself, and ended up building the document from scratch, in Word. It was such a mess.
By the way, your English is much better than my Portuguese. Or should I say Japanese? :-)
ParticipantEugene, thanks for your response. That's exactly what I needed to know, and I believe that will keep me quite organized.
I think I'll also package each month's issue (sans fonts) so there will be a nice clean document to “save as” for the next month's issue. Does this sound like a decent workflow for a monthly publication?
