Top new features in Adobe InDesign CS6:

		Liquid Layout: Apply liquid page rules to automatically adapt content when you create an alternate layout with a different size or orientation in InDesign.				Alternate Layout: Efficiently create and design multiple versions of a layout for different devices and print needs, all within a single InDesign file.

		Linked content: Link content within or across InDesign documents, so that changes (including interactivity) made to the parent text or object are applied to all linked children objects.				Content Collector tools: Grab text and objects from an existing layout using the Content Collector. In a new layout, use the Content Placer to add items in the order you want them to appear.

		PDF forms within InDesign: Create form fields directly within InDesign before you export to PDF. You can also assign the tab order in InDesign using the Articles panel.				Middle Eastern language support: Buy and update the Middle Eastern version of InDesign directly from Adobe for easier localization of global documents and enhanced functionality.

		Pages panel enhancements: Display alternate layouts in the Pages panel to organize content efficiently.				Split window: View two side-by-side layouts within the same document to compare the look and feel of the layouts and help ensure consistency.

		Recently used fonts: Access fonts you use frequently. Recently used fonts appear at the top of the font list.				Persistent text frame fitting options: Set frames to grow with additional text, based on simple parameters. Grow and shrink frames automatically for headlines, callouts, or other variable content.

		Grayscale preview: Preview your layouts in grayscale to see how they will look on a black-and-white device or when printed in black and white.

Grayscale PDF export: Export PDF files in grayscale directly from the Print dialog box.		Key object alignment: Align selected items to a key object you define.

Interactive PDF export as pages: Export an interactive PDF file as pages instead of spreads.		Export to PNG: Export your InDesign document to PNG, a lossless format, for use on the web. You can export the entire document, part of the document, or individual items.

Enhanced zoom for linked objects: Zoom in to a linked object from the Links panel to evaluate it more clearly.		Extension set management: Enable or disable groups of extensions based on your current workflow.
