Finer transparency controls
Create complex visual effects by applying multiple transparency settings to a single object. You can apply trans-
parency settings independently to an object’s fill, stroke, and content. See “Effects panel overview” on page 392.
Improved text wrap
Easily flow text around objects. Wrap to a side or according to a clipping path or alpha channel. See “Change the
shape of a text wrap” on page 197.
Convenient Glyphs panel
Use the Glyphs panel to locate recently used glyphs, filter and sort glyphs, and save glyph sets for sharing and reuse.
See “Glyphs panel overview” on page 147.
Choose Window > Workspace > New and Improved in CS3 to highlight menu commands of new and enhanced
features.
Productivity enhancements
Multi-file placing
Import several different files in one step. You can see thumbnail views of the different files and cycle through them
until you find the one you want to place. See “Place multiple graphics” on page 339.
Placed InDesign documents
Shorten the layout process and collaborate more effectively by reusing Adobe InDesign® CS3 documents. When
InDesign files are placed in the document, the Links panel provides notification of updates, eliminating the need to
save and manage interim files. See “Importing InDesign (.indd) pages” on page 333.
Expanded Quick Apply
Type a few letters into the Quick Apply panel and be able to access commands, text variables, scripts, and styles
instantly without having to rummage around in different panels. You can also customize Quick Apply searches. See
“Use Quick Apply” on page 183.
Fast frame-fitting
Set the default fit behavior of frames and assign fit options to object styles so that, as soon as you place a graphic or
other content in a frame, it fits perfectly. See “Set frame fitting options” on page 385.
Visual Pages panel
Quickly navigate a document and arrange its pages using thumbnail previews in the Pages panel. See “Add new pages
to a document” on page 59.
Nested style looping
Automatically apply a sequence of character styles within a paragraph with one click instead of manually formatting
each style change. With nested style looping, you can repeat a sequence of nested styles until the end of a paragraph.
See “Define paragraph and character styles” on page 166.
