If your manager asks, I didn’t show you this…
When deadline is near and your heart is pounding under the stress, feeling as if it’s going to burst, the lapse of every second adding another tonne of weight upon your already crumbling shoulders, your eyes burning more with every new detail, your mind about to explode in concentration, InDesign is there beckoning to take away all your troubles…
Go to the “InDesign” menu and choose “About InDesign”. Type the word “butterfly”. Now take out all that frustration on those innocent little butterflies. Once click pins ‘em to the screen… Option click kills ‘em…
Everyone deserves a break once in a while, right?

Nice. At first I could not get it to work in Windows platform. The tendency is to hit return after typing butterfly. Don’t and it will work. Also there is a surprise to those that play it long enough.

Im glad you found the surprise Gary… I left it out so everyone could discover that for themselves, it seems to be a good stimulus…
I don’t think I mentioned this in the post however if you want to exit the “About InDesign” dialogue just hit “esc” (escape) on the keyboard.
