Tips and Tricks needed

[bacrafty1]

I work for a yearbook publishing company. We have workshops in which we teach students and advisors how to use the Adobe InDesign and Photoshop software and the plug ins we write for those. It is alot of fun to teach the students neat tips and tricks. I am looking for new or different ideas, I don't want them to get bored or see the same things over and over. Do you have any that you would be willing to share?

It depends on what you already have...

We don't want to replicate any you already teach as that would waste both our time

All of our tips and tricks are based on using the plug-ins written by our company programmers. I am looking for new ones to take to our workshops.
