Snippet created by InDesign, a professional page layout program; contains a subset of an InDesign document, such as a page item or a group of page items; stored in an XML format; used to export and reuse portions of a document. Snippets can be created by selecting one or more objects in InDesign and then dragging them to the desktop. They may also be exported by selecting File ? Export within InDesign. NOTE: INDS files were used by older versions of InDesign. They have been replaced by .IDMS files.
