Within each object library, you can identify and search for an item by title, by the date it
was added to the library, or by keywords. You can also simplify the view of an object library
by sorting the library items and displaying their subsets. For example, you can hide all
items except EPS files.

When adding an item to an object library, InDesign saves all page, text, and image
attributes automatically, and maintains interrelationships among library objects and other
page elements in the following ways:
Elements grouped in an InDesign document when dragged to the Library palette stay
•
grouped when dragged out of the Library palette.
Text retains its formatting.
•
Paragraph styles and character styles that have the same name as styles used in the
•
destination document are converted to the destination document's styles; those that
have different names are added to the document.
The original layers of an object are preserved when the Paste Remembers Layers option
•
is selected in the Layers palette menu.
Working with object libraries
An object library exists as a named file on disk. When you create an object library, you
specify where to store it. When you open a library, it appears as a palette that you can
group with any other palette; the object library's filename appears in its palette tab.
Closing an object library removes it from the current session, but doesn't delete its file.
You can quickly add or remove objects, selected page elements, or an entire page of
elements to or from an object library. You can also add or move library objects from one
library to another.
Note: To open an InDesign 1.0 or 1.5 object library file, see
1.5 library files" on page
To create a new library:
1 Choose File > New > Library.
2 Specify a location and name for the library, and click Save. Remember that the name
you specify becomes the name of the library's palette tab.
