Time Saving Lessons from InDesign CS5

Though I have used InDesign for at least three years now, the skills learned for CS5 in PBDS 501 are already paying off. Each fall I am responsible for the layout of a program book (I look forward to going electronic with this next year) and an additional 120+-page book. I am enjoying the ability to visualize the speakers' pictures in the frames without having to resize them. Another thing I learned that is a time saver is the Character Style feature. I was always identifying the font family for each time I applied a character style--what an aha moment it was to learn that I was defeating the purpose of this feature by doing so.
