InDesign Shortcuts: Special Characters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setting type frequently requires the use of
symbols, typographically appropriate
punctuation, and invisible characters that are
not easily found on the keyboard. Adobe
InDesign CS3 has come to the rescue by
collecting many of these characters and
putting them in an easily-accessible flyout
palette off the main menu. Click here for the entire fy(t)i article.

TypeTalk: Word Spacing in Text ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q. Is there a way to adjust the word
spacing for a block of text that is set flush
left, rag right? The word spacing looks too
open for one font I use, but OK for other
typefaces in the document.A. As you've already noticed, the built-in, predetermined word spacing varies from font to font. In addition, the word spacing's appearance varies depending on the point size of the setting. Click here and scroll down to read on... You ask, I answer!

What is a typoGenerator? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
typoGenerator is a random generator which
takes words and images to
automatically create a typoPoster. (The image
to the
left was created in seconds!) This
student project
was created by Katharina Nussbaumer of
Austria and is very cool!
Check
it out...
