Recompose All Stories - Indesign Tip of the Week.
Sometimes you need to re-compose all your stories in your
InDesign document. This could be because you changed your
hyphenation method, because you switched languages, or for
a handful of other reasons. Or perhaps you simply want to
make double-sure that all of your stories are composed with
the very current settings. But how to do that?
One way is to turn on the checkbox “Recompose all stories when
User Dictionary is modified” in the Dictionary panel of the Prefences
dialog box. Now make any change in the user dictionary, save this
change, wait until the stories have been re-composed, and finally
revert the change in the User Dictionary.
A much faster method is to choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, choose
the product area “Text and Tables,” scroll down the list to the entry
“Recompose all Stories immediately” and assign a keyboard shortcut to
it. Save your change, and then just type your new keyboard shortcut!
