"INDESIGN: Switch Text Mode - If you're editing text and you want to change to a different tool, you can't press the tool's keyboard shortcut (because you'll just type that letter in the text). Instead, Command-click/Ctrl-click on the text frame, then press the shortcut for the tool. - \"\"InDesign Tips & Tricks\"\" by David Blatner and Sandee Cohen.\"",
"INDESIGN: Jump to a Page - The fastest way to jump to a specific page is to press Command-J/Ctrl-J, then type the page number, then press Return or Enter.

"INDESIGN: Style Editing - You can double-click on a style in the Paragraph Styles or Character Styles palettes to edit that style.

"ACROBAT: Using Backgrounds. You can easily apply backgrounds to your PDFs. Although you can apply a background to all pages or a specific page range, it’s sometimes most effective to use the background for just the front page.
