Special deal: If you can come up with a Running Heads situation that this plug-in can't handle, they will give you a free copy or apply the cost ($59 US) to any other plug-in they sell! That's confidence. As always, InDesignSecrets fans can get $20 off the price for either one of In-Tool's InDesign plug-in bundles, InBook or InSefer, (both of which include Running Headers) if you purchase from this special page on their site. The full list of plug-ins bundled in the packages is here. >> Rorohiko (aka Lightning Brain) has a number of cool plug-ins for InDesign users that slash the amount of time it takes to get something done! For example, FrameReporter ($29 US) lets you see small informational tags when you click on a frame, such as the image's effective resolution or how many words are overset. You can even use it to name frames, and then navigate around your layout via the names. -- Links mentioned in this podcast: > Balance Ragged Lines was the Obscure Feature in episode 55, here's the podcast transcript > Keith Gilbert's blog post about Sorting the Glyphs panel > Unicode Code Charts > Check out Anne-Marie's new Lynda.com video title, Social Media Marketing with Facebook & Twitter > Read about and download the public beta of David's "Blatner Tools" suite of InDesign plug-ins on the DTPTools site > Anne-Marie will be one of the presenters at the InDesign Conference in Washington DC, Nov 4-6 2009 > Steve Werner's Preflighting Deep Dive webinar has early-bird tickets on sale until Nov 4, the webinar will be on Nov 10 2009
