When you produce a document in InDesign with printer spreads and have objects that spread across two pages, make sure you DON"T use the Create a New Document feature because it will surprise you at printing. Just preview your document and use the print button. The only constraint is that you won't have much control over cropping marks.

Show Options When Placing
When you place content into your layout, click the Show Import
Options checkbox to intercept a file and perform certain functions,
such as stripping formatting from a Word file. You can access the
Import Options dialog by holding the Shift key when you click on
the Place button in the Place dialog box

Ever got frustrated by trying to break the link between two threaded text boxes in indesign? The only option you had was to delete the link between the two and then cut whatever hidden text and paste it in the other box.
With the break frame script you can do all of this in just one click. Simply save the attached file to your scripts folder under presets in the main InDesign folder and use it when you need it. A very, very cool plug in.
Enjoy.

Type-size Shortcuts
To change type size and leading incrementally, start by
setting increment size (Preferences > Units & Increments).
In your document, use Shift-Command/Ctrl- < to decrease
the point size of selected type by one increment, and
Shift-Command/Ctrl- > to increase the point size. Add the
Option/Alt key to these combinations to multiply the
increment by five. You can change leading via
Option/Alt-Up and Option/Alt-Down arrow key combinations.
