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 “
with different file extensions
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.
