Title: InDesign CS3 (4.5 mice)
Pros: Creative new Photoshop-style effects; enhanced style features; textvariables and object-level search-and-replace help keep content updated.

Title: Adobe InDesign CS3
Pros: Universal version for Intel Macs; visually dazzling new Effects; Table Styles; beefed up Find/Change command; many other new features and enhancements.
Cons: Weak interface support for two-monitor setups; minimized palettes can display only one at a time.

Cons: Lacks dazzling new design and typographic features. Some features (text variables, GREP searches, nested style looping) are hard to use.
Verdict: . Although InDesign CS3 lacks the glamour of previous updates, it makes up for it with the addition of a broad range of useful features that will make users more productive - if not ecstatic. We can understand why Adobe is reluctant to cannibalize its oth

Title: InDesign CS3
Pros: Expanded Styles system and multiple image-placement make page layout much faster.
Cons: Few new design tools
Verdict: InDesign CS3 may not be bursting with new creative tools, but the time you'll save using it makes it a must-have upgrade - and it's still head-&-shoulders above QuarkXPress 7
Summary: Perhaps surprisingly for a graphic-design application, it's the new workflow systems and tools that really impress in InDesign CS3 - while the new creative tools are going to have less of an effect on your day-to-day work.
