On the creative side, the Plug-in Pack includes automatic bullets and numbering, which are applied either through the PageMaker palette or through the Paragraph palette via a Bullets and Numbering dialog. The dialog provides control over the type of list, as well as font family and style, color, size, position, indentation and tab position. It also allows for the use of glyphs from separate fonts to be used as bullet characters. (The example below show the Bullets and Numbering dialog, as well as the dialog for adding new glyphs for bulleted lists.)

Finally, the Plug-in pack also adds a Template Browser, similar in design to the File Browser in Adobe Photoshop. The Template Browser provides access to templates based on "publication type" or "visual theme."



InDesign CS PageMaker Edition ships with more than 80 professionally designed templates (including complementary templates, such as letterhead and business cards, brochures and postcards, etc.), which are categorized by theme and publication type.
