Reusing graphics and text

Ways to reuse graphics and text

InDesign offers several different ways to repurpose graphics and text.

Snippets A snippet is a file that contains objects and describes their location relative to one another on a page or

spread. (See “Use snippets” on page 373.)

Object libraries An object library provides a convenient place to store items such as logos, sidebars, pull-quotes, and

other repeating items. (See “Use object libraries” on page 374.)

Templates A template is a document that includes placeholder text and graphics. (See “Use document templates” on

page 102.)

Use snippets

A snippet is a file that holds objects and describes their location relative to one another on a page or page spread. Use

snippets to conveniently reuse and position page objects. Create a snippet by saving objects in a snippet file, which has

the .IDMS extension. (Previous InDesign versions use the .INDS extension.) When you place the snippet file in

InDesign, you can determine whether the objects land in their original positions or where you click. You can store

snippets in the Object library and in Adobe Bridge as well as on your hard disk.

Snippets contents retain their layer associations when you place them. When a snippet contains resource definitions

and these definitions are also present in the document to which it is copied, the snippet uses the resource definitions

in the document.

Snippets you create in InDesign CS4 cannot be opened in previous versions of InDesign.
