Customers unaware of this behavior may not expect the gap color to overprint behind the
dashes. Before creating actual output, verify that multicolored, non-solid strokes overprint
as the customer intends by using the Overprint Preview feature on screen or the Simulate
Overprint feature in a PDF exported for proofing or when printing to a composite device.
Adobe InDesign CS also adds stroke styles, which let you customize dotted, dashed, and
striped strokes. Custom stroke styles appear in the Type pop-up menu on the Stroke palette.
You can also apply custom stroke styles to paragraph rules, underlines, and strikethroughs.
In the Edit Stroke Styles dialog box, you can customize dashed, dotted, or striped strokes.
Display and workspaces
Save custom palette configurations and ensure standard display settings. Each operator in
your shop can create their own palette layout and save it under the Window > Workspace
submenu. Saving workspaces is especially useful when you use the new Separations Preview
and Flattener Preview palettes, because you can save a palette arrangement specifically for
evaluating a document and preparing it for output.
New display controls ensure that Adobe InDesign documents display as quickly as possible
when they come into your shop. The new Preserve Object-Level Display Settings preference
lets you override the display settings of individual graphics in any documents you open, so
that you can always use your shop’s display preference as the default. A service provider will
usually want to use a fast display setting such as Typical Display.
Story editor
Edit text in a window separate from the layout. For rapid text editing, the Story Editor
window displays text in a single scrolling view without using the layout composition engine.
You can customize Story Editor display in the Preferences dialog box.
