P Spier May 24, 2010 1:06 PM (in response to bpylant)There's a further wrinkle in ID CS5. The ability to select locked objects is now a preference item (and this also affects whether you an place content into a locked frame which may be necessary in your older templates) and it is OFF by default, so if you want to lock a key item you must first enable selecting of locked items in the General section of the prefs.

bpylant May 24, 2010 1:12 PM (in response to P Spier)Ooof, thanks for that heads-up! I hadn't noticed that pref yet (I've only been using CS5 since Thursday, and not very steadily during that time).

Phorna Jun 13, 2010 1:04 PM (in response to bpylant)I can undersign it with both hands. This is my most wanted feature in InDesign as well.

Stix Hart Jun 14, 2010 1:51 AM (in response to Graham van de Ruit)That function (last object selected is anchor) would be cool; but I take it you all use the smart guides in CS4 and CS5? For what I do it is far better, as mostly I am only selecting 2 or 3 objects to align, and there is only one (or two) clicks and a drag, not a minimum of three clicks including a visit to a panel. I've recently upgraded from CS3 and the smart guides are what saves me the most time! Yet to learn to love the Content Grabber though....

Phorna Jun 14, 2010 2:58 AM (in response to Stix Hart)Please notice - when you have multiple selection - align panel icons appear on the top bar. So you need one fast click to align only.
With smartguides, where there are lot of objects around and you have multiple selection. You never know what you have hit because of this nervous jumping between objects snaping the smart guides.

BobLevine Jun 14, 2010 5:16 AM (in response to Phorna)The smart guides only align to items visible on screen. I think Peter may have mentioned that earlier but I'm replying by email.
