So we at LMCB are starting a new monthly feature for the site. Over the past few years I have been to several conferences. I usually make it a point to make it to the InDesign or Photoshop sessions. I have learned what I know about these programs from these sessions, books, and talking with others who use the programs. So the Tip of the month will share some of that information.
This month’s tip is simple but extremely time saving. Did I say it’s simple? Alt key and Drag. Got it? Alt and drag. This combination in InDesign allows you to click on an element while holding the alt key and drag to make a duplicate immediately. It is actually faster that copy and pasting the old way. As I continued to play with this I found that it works in the OS as well. In OS X if you Alt drag it will make a copy of the file folder, etc. In XP if you hold control and drag it will do the same thing in the OS, but in In Design it should be Alt drag (I’m not a PC confident as Mac confident).
