The align tool doesn't work as specified in the helpfile:

	To align the objects relative to a specific object�s edge or anchor
	 point, click the object to which you want the other objects to align.
	Then click the button for the type of alignment you want.

I take this to mean that the ID align tool should now work as Illustrator's does (if you need to specify the anchor object you select all the objects and then click again on the object that everything else should align to). But following the same procedure as you would use in Illustrator does not work in InDesign CS2.

For example, draw two objects, one in the top-left corner of the page (Object A) and one in the bottom-right corner (Object B). Select them both, and click the right-align button. Object A right-aligns to the right edge of Object B as expected. Undo, and now select them both but then click on Object A again. This should cause Object A to become the anchor object, and when you click the right-align button Object B should right-align to the right edge of Object A, as it would in Illustrator. But this doesn't happen; Object A once again right-aligns to Object B as if you had never specified A to be the anchor.

This was a BIG feature omission in CS1, and as evidenced by the helpfile was intended to be remedied in CS2. But it wasn't.
