| Adobe After Effects CS5 : The Timeline - Organization |
| It can be annoying that the work area controls both preview and render frame ranges because the two are often used independent of one another. Dropping your work composition into a separate “Render Final” composition with the final work area set and locked avoids conflicts between working and final frame ranges and settings. |

| QuarkXPress 8 : Editing text - Dragging and dropping text |
| When Drag and Drop Text is enabled, you can select text and drag it to a new location with the mouse—basically another way to cut and paste text. To do this, click on the selected text, drag the text insertion point to a new location, and release the mouse button. |
|
| QuarkXPress 8 : Modifying text boxes |
| QuarkXPress gives you precise control over how text is positioned within a box, including the number of columns in the box, how far text is inset from the edges of the box, whether text is rotated within the box, and more. |

| Adobe InDesign CS5 : Using Scripts & Script tips |
| When writing scripts, you can associate a script to a specific InDesign menu action so that when a user chooses that menu item, a script runs automatically (technically, by assigning a script to a MenuAction command's Prenotify or Postnotify property when writing the script's code). |

| Adobe Fireworks CS5 : Batch-processing images |
| We needed only thumbnail images for this page in the design. However, should you wish, you could link the thumbnails to the full-sized versions of images using Dreamweaver or your preferred web-design software so that, when clicked, the full-sized images open for viewing. |

| Adobe Fireworks CS5 : Working with Adobe Bridge |
| Adobe Bridge can save you a lot of time by letting you view, sort, and open images you wish to use in Fireworks. You can also add information to certain types of images, such as JPEG files or Fireworks PNG files, using the Metadata panel in Bridge. |
|
| QuarkXPress 8 : Flowing text - Using the automatic text box |
| QuarkXPress provides two ways to flow text through text boxes and pages—using the automatic text box or linking boxes manually. The text in a series of linked boxes is referred to as a story, and you can perform operations such as spell check and search and replace on a story rather than an entire layout. |
