    InDesign CS4 Help is now live

      Even though InDesign CS4 hasn't shipped yet, weve just posted InDesign CS4 Help on the Web:

      http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/index.html

      We still have some work to do and bugs to fix, but we figured that youd get a lot of benefit from taking an early peek. Here's the topic describing the new CS4 features

      http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSFE4C4DDD-967A-4cf0-845F-AB2B86FCC809a.html

      Note that many links to video tutorials, other Help documents, and white papers are still not functional, and the search doesnt really work yet. And commenting isnt turned on yet. This should all be fixed when we ship.

      You may also want to take a sneak peak at the new community custom search engine, which is still under construction:

      http://community.adobe.com/help/?lbl=indesign_product_adobelr

      Feel free to contact me if you have suggestions for improving Help. Also, if you find any sites that should be included in the custom search engine, let me know: bbringhu@adobe.com

          Bob,

          THANK YOU!!!

          For someone writing a book on the product, this is a big help.

          It will also be helpful for my students to look at to see if there are differences in features they currently use and would like to have improved.

          This is the sort of thing that shows a real commitment by Adobe to its customers.

            That's sweet! It's been frustrating hitting the dead link instead of actual help.

            Right off the top of my head, the one thing I immediately notice would be that friendlier URLs would be nice. Any plans for them in the future?

            For example, the link to Searching Using GREP Expressions right now is:
            http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WS1952D538-1335-4b1d-BA5E-FA5A176FDC9Fa.html

            Would be nice if it was more like:
            http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/search-using-grep-expressions.html

            or even the whole path:

            http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/text/find-change/search-using-grep-expressions.ht ml
