The Help files and this page have left off the new preference for the "When Scaling Area". Here's what I've written in my InDesign CS3 Visual Quickstart Guide:

Choose one of the following from the When Scaling area:
Apply to Content scales text so that the point size changes.
Adjust Scaling Percentage scales text so that the original point size is displayed with the new size in parenthesis.

In addition, I didn't have room for this in my book I would add the following:

Apply to Content scales the image within a frame so that the percentage size changes, but the frame that holds the image reverts its percentage back to 100%.

Adjust Scaling Percentage scales the images and the frame so that the percentage size changes.

My two colleagues and I have been trying to change the default font in
InDesign. The help page instruction says to "Choose Edit >
Preferences > General (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences >
General (Mac OS), and then choose the type of preferences you want
to specify" but there is no Prefernces in the Edit pull down menu, the
general Preferences pull down does not have an area where the
default font can be changed. Please help.

You don't use Preferences to change the default font. To change the font for a document, make sure nothing is selected, and choose the font from the Character panel. To change the default font for all new documents, close all documents and choose the font from the Character panel. This method works for most panel settings.

How do you get new Advanced Type/Subscript, Superscript settings to
be used as the default for any document?

Setting it with no files open works fine on any new docs created, but it
always defaults back to old settings when you open an older file?

Is there an option to open files and "force" the use of application
preferences, similar to how Quark used to handle this?

Thanx!

No. I think you can only do it manually (open each document, reset the values in the Preferences dialog, and save the file). Or write a script that does this.
