Easter Egg Hunt (InDesign Style!)

With the time of year, it feels appropriate to talk about some fun Easter Eggs in InDesign.

Easter egg: An Easter egg is an unexpected surprise, perhaps a message, an image, or a sound, hidden in a Web site or in an application program.

There are a handful, but my favorites are the Stroke Styles which will turn your strokes into pictures (a la Brushes in Illustrator.)

To create:
In the Stroke palette menu, select Stroke Styles…
In the dialog Box, click New…
Change the Style Name to Feet (note: must be capital F)
Click OK
Click OK, again
Select an object, and change the Stroke Style to
Change the stroke weight to a rather large size (30 or 50 points)
et voila!

Also try the following names:
Woof
Lights
Happy
Rainbow (this one requires the Type to be set to Stripe)
