Understanding Document Presets

A preset stores groups of common settings; you define a preset once, and then you can access the same group of settings

later with a single click. You’ll often use this concept while building InDesign documents — when you use text styles, table

If you frequently define the same document settings, you can save
those choices as a preset so you can create the same document
settings with minimal repetition. Clicking the Save Preset button in the
New Document dialog box opens a secondary dialog box where you
can name the preset. When you return to the New Document dialog
box, your new preset appears as the selection in the Document Preset
menu. Any time you need to create a file with the same settings, you
can choose the saved preset from this menu.

You can access and manage document presets in the File menu. If you choose one of
the existing presets in the menu, the New Document dialog box opens, defaulting to the
values in the preset that you called (instead of defaulting to the application-default letter-
size page). All the settings you saved in the preset automatically reflect in the dialog
box. You can also create, edit, and manage presets by choosing Define in the Document
Presets submenu; this opens a dialog box that lists the existing presets.

• Click New to open the New Document Preset dialog box, which is basically the same
as the New Document dialog box, except the Preset menu is replaced with a field
where you can type the preset name instead of clicking the Save Preset button.
• Select a preset and click Edit to change the preset’s associated options.
• Select a preset and click Delete to remove the preset from the application.
• Click Load to import presets created on another computer.
• Click Save to save a preset (with the extension “.dcst”) so it can be sent to and used on another computer.
