Alphabetize My Menus (Cool Easter Egg #3)?
This isn’t so much an Easter egg; it’s just a cool little feature you may not know about, but that’s what this book is for, right? To sort a menu alphabetically while working in InDesign, press-and-hold Command-Option-Shift (PC: Ctrl-Alt-Shift) and click on any menu. The alphabetization isn’t permanent; it only lasts as long as you have that menu open, but it could be useful!
