While the shortcuts for "universal" punctuation is nifty, many of them are totally different on keyboard layouts for other languages than US English. At least on the mac. Perhaps make a tip on how to find them in general?
If you are revamping a document manually, a catalog for example, and you have moved lots of items to new places but can't remember what page you have left the XYZ widget. The Index pallet can be a great shortcut if you have marked SKUs or descriptions with index markers. Just open the index pallet and drill down and click the X triangle pointer, it will show you where in the document you have moved it. Additionally if you have duplicates, or have left XYZ on the pasteboard. it will show you that.
BONUS: The fly away window has a goto marker option so that you can immediately go to the item.
"To return the image to its original proportions, enter equal values in the X (width) and Y (height) scale fields."
Instead of doing this you can just as easily do this: After direct selecting the object, simply ctrl clic (right clic on pc) on the "Flip state" icon (the large P in the center) and choose "Clear transformations".
IS THERE A WAY TO SELECT DIFFERENT TYPE SIZES AND CHANGE THEM AUTOMATICALLY?? For example if I need to change all 12 size type of Helvetica to 16 size, can I do it without changing all the other Helvetica sizes that appear in my text????
thanks
Therei is no way that I have the time to go through all of us stuff. But I can telll you that I have enough expleerience to teach you guys a few things. My first trakicking expereience is avoiding unnessary hyphonataions. Learn how to use it!! Bob
Any tips on accomplishing the opposite? Designers sometims send us files for newsprint wanting a single, solid color in an ad, but it's cmyk, instead of spot. This causes problems in printing and costs three times as much. Anyone know of a way to covert such a cmyk color to a spot?
Alright, this is brilliant I have to accept. When I started reading I thought here’s a few pointers, and by the end of it, I was actually more curious about functionality, so it’s been a long and very impressive reference.

I'm a new user to InDesign - for some reason I can't see I cannot change /select any of the options in the control panel e.g. with a blco of text selected, it will not allow me to embolden the selected text! Please can you offer a solution to the problem?
Thanks!
Lots of excellent tips here.

FIND A FONT

Re "FIND A FONT"
Did you use styles in the document? If so, what you want to do is relatively simple -- just change the point size in the styled text.
I think you could also use GREP to find and change 12 pt to 16 pt.

Import Options important
When trying to Place a Quark-generated PDF. I often find that it will not Import...unless I click on 'Import Options'. Then it will!
Another tip
If you option-click a layer in the layers palette, it will select everything on that layer in your active spread or layer.
