Major Changes Since Publication

• Adobe has tinkered with a few names for options in some dialog boxes and panes. For example, the Use CMYK Alternates for PMS/HKS in the Ink Manager dialog box was changed to Use Standard Lab Values for Spots.
• The Autocorrect feature does not let you use special characters in its dialog boxes, so you cannot have InDesign automatically replace two hyphens with an em dash.
