Blatner Tools 1.0 InDesign Plug-ins Released

Pres release
DTP Tools announces the immediate availability of Blatner Tools 1.0, a suite of 12 InDesign plug-ins. This collection offers over 100 new fea-tures for InDesign users, including the ability to create color and style reports, create fractions automatically, build character and paragraph styles and apply them across an entire document quickly, and more. These features were perfected (and more features added) during a six-week public beta period this fall.
The Blatner Tools suite was designed by longtime industry guru David Blatner, who also co-hosts the InDesignSecrets.com site. Blatner noted, “I love InDesign, but there’s plenty of room for improvement! Blatner Tools adds many of the features my clients and students have been requesting for years. Tools to create and manage styles better, the ability to find and replace colors, to quickly identify hard-to-locate document errors – this stuff was painful before, but Blatner Tools makes it all easy!”
In the current economy, every second counts, and Blatner Tools is all about maximizing productivity, efficiency, and quality.
KEY FEATURES
Blatner Tools includes too many features to list here, but here are some of the most important functions:
