Let's say, for instance, I'm building a publication using inDesign. I have to divvy up work so I give half the publication to another designer to and work on. Is there an easy way to merge these two versions together into one document? Does inDesign do this? Is there an external app or plugin? Or did Adobe miss this?
Mucho-appreciated.

can you drag thumbnail pages from your 'pages' toolbar from one document to another?
I'm sure it's possible, but cun't be arsed to open InDesign while in this hole during my vacation, ya know?

I'd look in to VersionQue, which comes with the creative suite, but I haven't used it at all...I think it helps with multiple designers working on a single file.
Also, in InD, you can use the 'book' feature to mash up separate InD files, using shared page numbering, stylesheets etc.

I think you can do this with the 'Books' feature. In that everyone in your team starts a new file/document then when it is done you stitch them together by making a new 'Book'

Type the word 'book' in the inDesign help files.

You can definitely drag pages from 1 doc to another but I would probably go the "book" route.

neue75 - you're dropping into NT while on vacation? What hole? Thanks for your suggestion - it DOES work. I hate when the simple things get by me before I bother to ask.
blastofv - I've familiarized myself VersionQue - I can't be asked to change my workflow though. Adobe's got the right idea. I'll try that BOOK feature. Sounds like what I'm after. Thanks.
D_Dot - Book feature. Thanks. I'm headed that way.
designaked - YES. I would rather go the BOOK route too. It's like a seat-belt or something. Feels safer.
Thanks all.
