I've been using InDesign for about 2 years but never used a Library for objects (logos and other frequently used graphics). We sent someone to a class who learned minimal use of a Library. Now I'm trying to figure out more indepth what works and what doesn't...

1. Sending to a Service bureau: Is it OK to draw something in Illustrator, copy it to InDesign, put it in my Library and NOT keep the original Illustrator file? This means there would be no linked file to trace back to.

---------

It seems that no Library items are collected in a Links folder if a file is packaged.

2. When adding something to the Library and opening the Item Information dialog box you can choose an "object type". I can't find any info on whether to pick 1 type over another. The person that took the class said the instructor said to always choose "text". Can someone tell me when to pick which "object type" over another!?

Thanks in advance,
Clinton
