| 1 | VideoDWD: Episode 10, Trio of Table of Contents Tips | After a long hiatus (I'm sorry!), Dirty Words Design is back with a roughly produced (I'm really sorry!) episode that contains three tips for dealing with InDesign Table of Contents and using them in ways that may not be typical! (I'm totally not sorry!) Topics discussed are: Duplicating a Table of Contents Style Avoiding the import of Character Styles into a Table of Contents Using a Table of Contents on a Master Page to create book-wide hyperlinks | 9/19/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 2 | VideoDWD: Episode 9, InDesign CS5 Background Exporting | Good: I've managed to fix my low audio problems and the videocast should be much more listenable now. Better: InDesign CS5 includes a nice feature that allows you to export PDF files in the background while you work on other stuff! Worse: This background export functionality doesn't work with Book files. Better: This episode of Dirty Words Design explains how it works and how it doesn't. | 5/8/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 3 | VideoDirty Words Design: Episode 8, GREP Styles + Preflight Proofing | This episode of Dirty Words Design shows you how to harness the power of two InDesign CS4 features—GREP Styles and Live Preflight—together to automatically detect if your document contains specified placeholder text, such as the dreaded "page XX" reference or notes from editors to layout or vice-versa. | 2/6/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 4 | VideoDirty Words Design: Episode 7, Rorohiko’s Soxy | Rorohiko's Soxy 1.0 for OS X has just been released, with a Windows version in beta. This episode of Dirty Words Design shows you how to use Soxy to easily manage multiple versions of InDesign at the same time -- no accidentally opening old files in the newest version of InDesign or vice-versa! I also demonstrate how to assign a different application to open specific PDF versions. | 11/22/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 8 | VideoDirty Words Design: Episode 3, Default Preferences and Document Preferences | This is a short episode; I take a look at setting InDesign document preferences and default preferences that get applied to all new InDesign documents, also how to create Styles [Paragraph, Object, Character] that are automatically imported into new documents, and how to set Styles and some other settings so they get applied to new objects and text by default. My microphone seems to be acting more sensitive since I upgraded to OS X 10.5.7, so I apologize if the background clicking and typing is more obvious than usual in this episode.

| 9 | VideoDirty Words Design: Episode 2, More Packaging, and Converting All Text to Outlines | Thanks for waiting—here's Episode 2 of Dirty Words Design; a grab-bag episode that revisits Episode 1 and further explains Packaging vs. Copy Links, and a "feature" of Packaging that you may not be aware of. I also give a brief overview on exporting a document to PDF while turning all the text in it to outlines; based on David Blatner's article. It's a technique that hopefully you won't have to use, but it's good to know in case you need it in a pinch!
