DO learn to love the Eyedropper tool

I’ve been using Adobe InDesign since version 2, but it took me a long time to realize how useful the Eyedropper tool is. I thought it simply stored the color of any object you clicked on, enabling you to fill another object with the same color or apply it the to text, like it does in Adobe Photoshop. How wrong I was—you can copy type attributes too. Click on an item of text, even some text in another document, then drag over another item of text with the Eyedropper, and—bingo!—it copies not just the color of the text but many additional stored attributes. While it’s true that good practice dictates the use of style sheets for all text formatting, especially in long documents, there’s always a use for this functionality when you’re working on a one-off job, like a poster or flyer, or when you’re experimenting with type styles prior to committing to the application of style sheets. Time to stop ignoring the Eyedropper tool, I think. TS
