I: Wow, thatвЂ™s just one of the 12 plug-ins?Д«latner: Yeah! ThatвЂ™s just the warm up! HereвЂ™s some other features that I didnвЂ™t want InDesign users to live without: ItвЂ™s easy: Just choose Style Report from the paragraph or character style panel menu.

Style reports: How many times have we heard this request: вЂњI wish I could get a list of all my paragraph or character styles - you know, like a document that shows how each is defined.вЂќ Now you can.

I designed it, but IвЂ™m still astonished that they actually got it to work! ItвЂ™s amazing. This works for character, paragraph, and object styles.

Create styles: Have you ever been given an MS Word or InDesign document with a lot of formatting, but no paragraph and character styles? Very common problem, right? Power Styles can analyze your whole document, figure out what the common styling is, create styles for you, and apply them everywhere.

How similar? Now you can select two or more styles and choose Compare to get a detailed spreadsheet of how they differ.

Compare styles: You have two paragraph styles (or character styles or object styles or whatever) that are similar.

For example, you might want to remove all the extra formatting except italics. Choosing Type > Remove Local Style Overrides lets you choose which formatting you want to remove and which you want to keep.

Remove local overrides: I get files all the time that contain local text formatting - someone has manually changed the font, or size, or indents or who-knows-what.

My goal was to create a suite which would offer 3 or 4 plug-ins you just вЂњhad to have.вЂќ So if you do a lot with paragraph and character styles, youвЂ™re going to fall in love with the feature in Power Styles: I: What kind of features are you adding that arenвЂ™t already in InDesign?Д«latner: There are 12 different plug-ins with over 100 features - I donвЂ™t expect everyone to use them all, or even want them all. I mean, the cost ends up being only something like $12 per plug-in.

Blatner Tools is an attempt to patch those holes and offer features InDesign users want and needвЂ¦ and to do it at a really reasonable price. InDesign is an astonishingly rich program, but there are still many things that I wish it did, or did better.

Twelve plug-ins in one вЂњsuite.вЂќ Why?Д«latner: I have spent over 20 years training publishers to be more efficient, but sometimes the software itself is limited in ways. 2: Automating Your Work, is Oct.I: Okay, DavidвЂ¦ letвЂ™s talk about the new Blatner Tools plug-ins. > David's upcoming webinar, Long Documents Pt.

The full list of plug-ins bundled in the packages is here. The plug-in is $99, but InDesignSecrets fans can get $20 off the price for either one of their InDesign plug-in bundles, InBook or InSefer, (both of which include AutoFlow Pro) if you purchase from this special page on their site. It lets you set autoflow attributes for individual stories within your layout, letting you fully control which stories will automatically generate new threaded frames and pages as you enter text, and which ones simply overset. > In-Tools has a very cool plug-in called AutoFlow Pro.
