InDesign Tip of the Week

=========== T I P  O F  T H E  W E E K ===========

Use the Script Label Panel for Notes
How do you add notes to others working on a document? If
you're working within text frames, you've got the handy Note
tool. But what if you want to make a comment about an image
or other non-text element on a page? How can you give the
next person who works on the file instructions about that object?

Here's how to do it in CS3: Select the image, then open the
Script Label panel (Window > Automation > Script Label). Write
anything you want in the area inside the panel -- there's room
for hundreds of words.

Tell the next person working on the document to keep the Script
Label panel open. When any object is selected, the note will appear
in the panel.
