What’s new

Last updated 11/16/2011

The new Prevent Selection Of Locked Objects option in General preferences lets you determine whether you can select
locked objects.

Relink file extensions
Relink files based on file extension. For example, you can replace a set of JPEG files with TIFF files. See “

Relink files

with different file extensions

” on page 395.

Hide objects
You can now choose Object > Hide to hide objects on the page. Hidden objects are not printed or exported, and they
cannot be selected. Choose Object > Show All On Spread to view all hidden objects.

Sticky Preview check boxes
InDesign now remembers whether the Preview checkbox is selected in a dialog box after you exit and restart.

Place cursor when dragging from Adobe Bridge
In previous versions, dragging an image from Adobe Bridge or the desktop inserted the image on to the page, creating
a frame the size of the image. In InDesign CS5, this action loads the place cursor, letting you drag a proportionally sized
frame for your image.

Open book files in Explorer or Finder
A command appears on the books panel menu that lets you view a document in an Explorer or Finder window.

Miscellaneous enhancements

Round CMYK values to whole numbers

The Colors panel round the values for the CMYK sliders to the nearest whole

value.

Delete all guides

A new Delete All Guides On Spread command appears in the View > Grids & Guides menu.

Zoom from dialog boxes

You can now use the keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out of your document when you

have a modal dialog box open. Press Ctrl+- or Ctrl+= (Windows) or Command+- or Command +=.

New default font

The default font is changed from Times (Mac) and Times New Roman (Windows) to the cross-

platform OpenType version of Minion Pro Regular.

Collapse multiple links to same source

In InDesign, links to images placed multiple times in a document are collapsed

into a single row in the Links panel. You can now turn off this collapsing behavior with a new option in the Panel
Options dialog box.

Remember Story Editor window location

When you close and reopen a Story Editor window, InDesign reopens the

window to its previous width, height, and location on the screen.

Fold marks

If you select Crop Marks while printing spreads, fold marks are printed as solid lines.
