In this week’s InDesignSecrets video, Keith Gilbert shows how to create an autocorrect word pair in InDesign that contains special characters, such as the trademark symbol. This can’t be done natively, so Keith demos how it’s possible taking just a few extra steps!
This tutorial is an excerpt from Three Minutes Max: a fun, yet very competitive session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
