Smart Styles

WoodWing`s award-winning Smart Styles plug-in for Adobe InDesign puts powerful automatic formatting capabilities at your fingertips.

Interested in saving time on mind-numbing tasks like complex formatting of layout elements? Smart Styles is going to help you a lot. Read on, just to see how simple it is.

First, define your Smart Style. This is just as simple as dragging a formatted page item into the Smart Styles library. Once defined, all that is needed to repeat the complex formatting task is another drag-and-drop action, from the library onto the object(s) that need formatting!

Smart Styles` intelligence recognizes complex structures within tables, texts and other objects and does all the hard work for you in no time. And, if you decide to modify a Smart Style, the entire document can be updated with just a simple action.
Smart Styles are stored in one or more InDesign libraries which can be shared easily with other users. Text styles and swatches used by Smart Styles are automatically created when they are not available in the document. So, sharing and reusing styles has never been easier.

But Smart Styles doesn`t stop there. It can also help you sort tables directly inside InDesign. You can use up to three sort criteria, and adjust the sort order according to your specific language requirements. Another powerful feature is the ability to perform spreadsheet-like calculations inside InDesign tables.

Once you get started, you will soon understand why Smart Styles received the prestigious Creative Mac award, and MacAddict rated Smart Styles ?Awesome? and ?Editor`s Choice.?
