New bits in CS6 part two: Alternate layouts

InDesign CS6 is all about the repurposing of stuff. So much so that pretty much anywhere you look that word, repurposing, keeps popping up. Most of the of the new features introduced in CS6 are designed to work together to make this repurposing easier. With that in mind it's difficult to treat them individually. But I am going to try anyway! First up is Alternate Layouts.

Smooth Flows

When it comes to overset text, most InDesign users are probably aware of how to manually thread text frames together in order to flow text. But there is also a simple way to flow text and automatically add as many pages as necessary. This rather excellent feature goes by the name of Smart Text Reflow.
