Creating transparency flattener presets. (See “Flattening transparent artwork” on page 404.)
•
Creating table of contents styles. (See “Create or import TOC styles” on page 281.)
•
Saving the workspace configuration.
•
Creating document presets. (See “Define document presets” on page 44.)
•
Creating stroke styles. (See “Define custom stroke styles” on page 318.)
In general, change the feature settings in the dialog box, and then save the settings. Styles and presets are stored in
the document in which they are created. You can use the settings from another document by importing or loading
the styles and presets from that document. In addition, most presets can be exported or saved to a separate file and
distributed to other computers.
You can also share styles and presets across all documents in a book file. For more information, see “Synchronize
book documents” on page 275.
Recovery and undo
Recover documents
InDesign guards your data against unexpected power or system failures using an automatic recovery feature.
Automatically recovered data exists in a temporary file that is separate from the original document file on disk.
Under normal circumstances you don’t need to think about automatically recovered data, because any document
updates stored in the automatic recovery file are automatically added to the original document file when you choose
the Save or Save As command or exit from InDesign normally. Automatically recovered data is important only if
you’re unable to save successfully before an unexpected power or system failure.
Even though these features exist, you should save your files often and create backup files in case of unexpected power
or system failures.

Find recovered documents
1
Restart your computer.
2
Start InDesign.
If automatically recovered data exists, InDesign automatically displays the recovered document. The word
[Recovered] appears after the filename in the title bar of the document window to indicate that the document
contains unsaved changes that were automatically recovered.
Note: If InDesign fails after attempting to open a document using automatically recovered changes, the automatically
recovered data may be corrupted.

Do one of the following:
•
To save the recovered data, choose File > Save As, specify a location and a new filename, and click Save. The Save
As command keeps the recovered version that includes the automatically recovered data; the word [Recovered]
disappears from the title bar.
