InMath 1.8.1

InMath 1.8.1 will not make you disappointed because it is considered as the plug-in for real mathematical typesetting within InDesign CS and InCopy CS.
It depicts mathematical expressions solely by means of their text editor - no external data, expecially no graphic data is involved at all. InMath allows the user to configure any settings and manage them as "InMath Styles", analogous to paragraph styles and character styles.
Hence, InMath can be used instantly because InMath Styles work like these well-known styles. Documents created with InMath can be opened and printed out without InMath being present as well. An InMath evaluation package can be requested from i.t.i.p.'s website www.itip.biz.
Unlike so-called equation editors, InMath depicts mathematical expressions solely using characters. No graphical element, no anchored or linked frame is needed. InMath stores and manages all settings as "styles", just like e.g. character styles.
InMath has spread all over the world. On all five continents, publishing houses, vendors, freelancers, universities publish their mathematical equations with InMath and InDesign/InCopy. InMath has been certified for use within a number of editorial systems like K4, SmartConnection Enterprise, Doris32, TrueEdit and more.
Enhancements:
- It fixes an InDesign crash under special circumstances, if an InMath expression is at the very end of a story;
- It fixes an InDesign crash if parts of an InMath expression is converted to a note;
- Some internal improvements.
- "Load InMath Styles" allows to load styles from an InDesign template (.INDT) as well.

Style Flocker for InDesign CS2 for Mac 1.0.1
manages your character, paragraph and object styles within Adobe InDesign. more>> Manage your styles
RogueSheeps Style Flocker manages your character, paragraph and object styles within Adobe?? InDesign??. Group and apply all of your styles within a single palette, as well as see the currently applied style or styles within your document.
Arbitrarily group styles
Styles can be grouped according to your needs. Each group, or flock, can hold any combination of character, paragraph and/or object styles, and any style can appear as many times as suits your needs. Flocks can also contain other flocks, allowing you to organize all of your styles based on your own individual workflow.
View detailed list of applied styles
The Style Flocker palette shows you the currently applied styles in an easy to read status section at the top of the palette. If you have multiple styles applied to the current selection, a list of all of them will be shown in the status section. You can also drag and drop the currently applied style(s) from the status area into one of your flocks.
Group styles easily
Creating flocks is a snap! Just drag and drop styles from the styles palettes, or use the convenient palette menu items to add styles. Flocks can have sub-flocks and styles can be added and deleted to these with the push of a button.
Replace three palettes with one
After creating and organizing your styles, hide the InDesign style palettes; Style Flocker allows both application and display of applied styles, so you save valuable screen real estate.
Its Free!

Lightning Brain StoryParker for InDesign 1.0.7
Lightning Brain StoryParker for InDesign is created as a useful plug-in which aims at helping you cope with cluttered pages. more>>
Lightning Brain StoryParker for InDesign 1.0.7 is created as a useful plug-in which aims at helping you cope with cluttered pages. It adds a number of context menus to various page items
Every page item can be temporarily 'parked' - meaning: you can put it aside, somewhere on the pasteboard, and quickly move it back to exactly where it came from some time later.
Stories spread over linked text boxes can also be parked all together.
The idea is to help you get one or more page items out of the way quickly, for example because you want to reach something that's underneath. Later on, you can move the page items back to their exact original position with a single click.
The neat thing is that parked page items 'remember' where they came from - you can 'unpark' them, which causes them to fly back to the exact location they had before you parked them.
Parked items are put on the pasteboard, and can be moved around freely from there - any movement while they are parked is ignored and forgotten the instant you unpark them.
There is a neat extra trick for text boxes: the context menu you get by right-clicking or control-clicking a text box will also allow you to park the whole story.
All text boxes that contain parts of the same 'text flow' or story are parked together.
Requirements:
- InDesign CS, CS2 or CS3

Lightning Brain ImageLibraryLoader 1.0.3 offers you an extremely useful tool to retrieve floating palette of images in an automatic way from designated folder.
