Using Adobe InDesign More Easily:
Did you know that you can print all the master pages in a document? Having a set of clean masters printed out can be very useful when you’re building a style guide or other documentation. You can also print out masters and sketch on them when you’re brainstorming design ideas.
Some people never notice the check box for printing masters in the Print dialog box because it’s hidden in plain sight, right below the buttons for printing pages or spreads. The only downside is that you can only print all the masters in a document. There ‘s no option to select individual masters.
Thank you Mike Rankin for your great Adobe tips!

Create Better Messages:
- Don’t use images in your signature- Sometimes people search and filter messages according to those without attachments. By including an image (which becomes an attachment) in your signature, you could be messing up their search results.
- Use links instead of attachments- Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft SkyDrive let you share files with others with near simultaneous editing capabilities. Attachments, on the other hand, are static–if you find yourself going back and forth editing the same document, it can get confusing.
- Grow your social network inside email- Rapportive is a free tool for Gmail that adds a sidebar to each message you receive showing the sender’s image, job, location, and what social networks he or she uses. Directly within the window, you can send a LinkedIn connection invitation, add someone to a Google+ circle, follow him or her on Twitter, or friend him or her on Facebook.
- Leave recipient blank until content is finished- There’s nothing more embarrassing than accidentally sending a message before you intend to. Preempt this error by leaving the “To” field empty until your message is perfect. Gmail users can also use Google’s Undo Send feature. To turn it on, go to Settings-> Labs to find this feature and other helpful ones.

Team DeVore has been providing volunteers for 12 years, and this year Stacy Krist went to help serve the community and raise money. Check out the pictures of Rotary members and volunteers below:
