If you used any CS3 prerelease software or were a beta tester on Mac OS, Run this script

Adobe advises that Mac OS X users of the prerelease versions of Adobe CS3 software and beta testers remove all traces of those intstallations before loading actual shipping versions of CS3 applications. Mere dragging of the application folders to the trash, however, doesn’t quite get the job done:

The Adobe CS3Clean Script will help resolve installation problems experienced by beta and pre-release users of Adobe Creative Suite software. The script will clean up the beta and pre-release installations and allow installation of the shipping versions of Creative Suite 3.

What’s to be done? By downloading the script found on the Adobe page at the end of this link, you’ll be able to make your drive squeaky clean and ready to load your shiny-new CS3 apps.

Read and heed all applicable warnings, naturally.

Tip of the Day

Add Your Paragraph and Character Styles to All New InDesign Documents Automatically

Got paragraph and character styles you use frequently? Maybe you took our advice and created basic, global character styles for bold, italic, bold-italic, and regular. Save yourself some serious time loading your commonly used styles into new documents—make them part of the default for all new documents.

Open InDesign (or InCopy) but don’t open a document. From the flyout menu on the Paragraph Styles or Character Styles panel choose the Load All Text Styles command. You’ll be prompted to find a document containing the desired styles. Find and select that, and then pick the styles you want. When they import to the Paragraph Styles and/or Character Styles panels, with no documents opened, those style become available by default for all new documents you create.
