IDcs, Windows XP,

I am laying out a bilingual (German/English) catechism--a religious instruction book. So far I have 2 columns (page size 6x9). I need help in tying the English content to the german content. That is question %26amp; answer 1 anchored to German Thus far I am doing it manually. There has to be a way to do this faster. I can't find a way to copy and paste into this message. It would be easier to understand if I could paste the first page into this message. Oh well, perhaps someone might enjoy figuring this out. Thank youIDcs, Windows XP,
How about posting a screen capture on pixentral.com and putting a link here. That's one current approach for illustrating a problem like this.IDcs, Windows XP,

Thanks for the information. Patricia
I take it that you are trying to align the headers for each question across the two language columns. I'm afraid I don't know of any automatic way to do this if the length of the text in the two columns for either the question or answer is different.

Why not use a table here? The usual reason 'against' is that usually, people want to have paragraphs broken over pages as well, which is not possible with tables -- entire rows are always kept together. But for this text it should be totally doable.
I think a table might work, but my biggest objection, aside from the usual I hate tables and they are a pain to set up, is that if the question text runs different lengths in the two languages and needs to wrap in one, but not the other, you'd wind up with extra space between the question that didn't wrap and its answer.
I think I can help you - I have two tools, one to convert Table to TextFrames - so text from ''cells'' will split to pages, and second to split cells across pages

ID CS3 Windows - Missing Font,...

I have a problem with Find Font (as many others on these boards seem to)... but not necessarily Arial Narrow. It happens in CS3 occasionally in documents that are picked up from existing documents and then modified (I work for a monthly trade magazine publisher).



The problem we've seen with this issue is that occasionally a typeface will flag that it is missing, but if you go to the Find Font window it cannot find the first instance... and in the ''more info'' section it indicates that the character count used is 0, and the style count, styles, and pages lines are blank. The font usually shouldn't be in this document (meaning we own it and use it in other documents, but not this particular one), and there aren't any hidden/locked layers, and no unwanted/extra text boxes can be found (even if one uses the ''object find'' to find all the text boxes...



It is beneficial for us to pick up the previous month's document when working on the next document, because all the settings are there (styles, color palettes, document-specific preferences, etc.) and, if there are multiple individuals working on these documents, it maintains title style integrity much easier than if individuals not familiar with the title are constantly having to start a fresh document. So... you see the conundrum.



Any suggestions on the phantom nonexistent type? It wants to transfer itself to embed in PDF when we send to press, because the document says it's there, but it isn't. Help?

Try exporting to .inx and opening that, then run Find Font again. I'm willing to believe that Find Font could report in error, but I've never seen it.

This is why templates were invented. :) Re-using old documents has been a traditional source of file corruption, though in my experience it is far less of a problem in ID than it was in Quark, which was miles better than Pagemaker.

ID CS3 Windows - Missing Font,...
No, you're right, re-using old documents HAS been a traditional source of file corruption - but we don't use templates for the very reason that a template is somewhat ''permanent'' and in a monthly periodical setting outdates more quickly than one would think, and the previous month's document is much more current. And - we get away with it for the very reason that you indicated - because it is far less of a problem in ID than it was in Quark, and miles better than Pagemaker.



I wonder if actually moving versions isn't actually part of the problem, since many of these documents were at some point converted from Q4 to IDCS2, and then brought into IDCS3? But - we will definitely try this and see if it cleans it out. It just might do that! Thank you!

Converted docs can be flaky. The first thing you should do is export to .inx and reopen and save a new version.

IDCS3 export to PDF - how to get...

I'm exporting my InDesign file to PDF, and the headings are all nicely showing up in the bookmarks, but the superscript chars in my headings (such as the trademark symbol) are showing as regular chars in the resulting PDF bookmarks.



Anyone know if it's possible to get superscripts into the PDF bookmarks?



(I doubt it matters, but I'm on Windows XP, InDesign CS3 Design Standard.)



Thanks,

-Monique

I had a similar problem and it seems to have to do with the font in Acrobat. I looked into a script for changing the font used for bookmarks (or for changing the glyph, I can't remember which anymore), but didn't pursue it as it was just as easy for that project to change the ID document.



You should ask this question over in the Acrobat forum where the Acrobat experts hang out.

%26gt;superscript chars [..] (such as the trademark symbol)



There is some dispute over a trademark symbol being superscript or not. In some fonts it is, in others not. Therefore, for some fonts you need to apply ''superscript'' and in others not.



%26gt;[..] showing as regular chars in the resulting PDF bookmarks



That's the way it is. You cannot apply formatting to bookmark text. You

i can

change the font (I seem to rembember), but that doesn't help -- it's a global change.



If you desperately positively need some characters to be in superscript, check the character map for (I think) Arial Unicode. There is a tiny set of characters that has a superscript form: 鹿虏鲁 -- but do check if they appear the same in Acrobat.

Help with uninstalling InDesign CS2

A month ago, I installed CS4 over CS2.

Then, InDesign CS4 did not work because of the conflict with AMD chip in my computer. So, uisng the original CS2 disk, all programs were uninstalled EXCEPT FOR INDESIGN CS2. The reason is that I wanted to use InDesign CS2 until the problem with CS4 is fixed.



Today, after installing InDesign CS4 update (it was a sort of plug), InDesign became working just fine. So I want to remove InDesign CS2. The problem was that I was not able to remove InDesign CS2 by Add or Remove Programs or with the original CS2 disk.



Please advise me how to uninstall InDesign CS2. In

ID CS3 - Align & Distribute Buttons: Is...

I use these buttons often and it would be nice to align the bottom of a box/item to the top of the one below it. Is there such tool that I just haven't found?
ID CS3 - Align %26 Distribute Buttons: Is...
Hi Blade,



You can use distribute spacing to align the top of one shape with the bottom of the shape above it--turn on the Use Spacing option and set the spacing value to 0, then select the two shapes and click the Distribute Vertical Space button. As far as I can tell, this always moves the bottom object.



Thanks,



Ole

Smartguides in CS4 sure come in handy for this sort of thing.

Force ID CS4 to import using cropbox

Configuration:



ID CS4 6.0.0

Windows XP SP3

3gb ram

750gb HD free



I have a library of PDF pages that I use in ID. Not all of the PDFs were created with the same definition of bounding box but all have the same definition of cropbox. As a result, I need to import my images using cropbox to get uniform placement. I know how to set the option for cropbox or boundingbox but that option seems to reset itself from time to time to boundingbox which wreaks havoc on my layouts. I find I have to always double check myself to make sure that the import option is set to cropbox. Is there any way to set the default to cropbox instead of boundingbox and ensure that it will not reset to the program default which seems to be boundingbox?
Force ID CS4 to import using cropbox
IME it remembers the last setting. But you should definitely download

and install the 6.0.1 update.



Bob
Force ID CS4 to import using cropbox
Yes, it does seem to render to the ''last'' setting, however... and I could be wrong about this... it appears that any number of things including an unplanned exit of ID, reset the preference to ''bounding box''. As my workstation is used by multiple people, it's problematic not to be able to set the default to ''cropbox'' because I never know whether someone intentionally or accidentally might have reset the preference. I've lost entire days worth of work because of this. I just pulled the update and have installed it. I can't tell that it has any bearing on this particular subject however.
