Applying alternate glyphs for a specific selected character just got a lot easier using the new popup glyphs feature in InDesign CC 2015. When you hover over a selected character that has alternate glyphs, you can select and apply an alternate right under that character in popup menu.

In this tutorial, Adobe Instructor Jeff Witchel will show how this feature is great for applying swash characters, ordinals, or creating real fractions instantly. And because many of these alternatives are OpenType character formatting, that alternate formatting can be saved as a Character Style, a huge time saver!
