    Tables

    The Menu/merge cells works only for cells that are adjacent. Even though it's the same table, it seems when rows go from one column to the next you cannot select them the same way you would when they're adjacent. I think, (Like in registration marks post) The only way to span a head across a...

    Tables

    I have pretty extensive knowledge of how tables work. [bigglasses] However, there are always things out there to learn and I'm wondering if someone knows how, (or if it's even possible) to get a header row to SPAN COLUMNS. Not repeat, because we've had several instances where we want a table to...

    Text flowing to master pages instead of regular pages

    The question is this, How do we avoid text from flowing onto the master page? The master page is NOT selected, we can't find this "master text frame options" someone else suggested and it happens with existing as well as new documents. This problem seems to be indiscrimanant. Has anyone else...

    Adding pages to an Existing InDesign (CS2) Document?

    Apparently, The design flaw in ID is that a sectioned document is fine but you cannot autoflow text between sections. It automatically goes at the end and it's not so bad if you have a small sectioned document,as jmgalvin said, just move them in the pages pallette, but if you're working with...

    Adding pages to an Existing InDesign (CS2) Document?

    How do I get InDesign to stop telling me that a spread can only have 10 pages when I'm not trying to add pages to a spread I'm just trying to add pages? I've got a document that has 28 pages then it's sectioned and there are another 16 pages that need to go at the end of the document. In the...

    Importing Database files into InDesign and having existing styles

    I'm trying to get database files to flow in Indesign and have InDesign recognize the Line codes and convert those to the Styles that exist in the InDesign document. PageMaker did this really well, Quark got better with later version, but I've been tearing my hair out trying to get InDesign...

    Too much grey (desktop)?

    Sounds like you've removed the paste board view. Click the left lower button on the bottom of the tools palatte. If you hold your cursor over it it should show normal, the other button shows preview.

    Times new roman won't go away

    InDesign opens a dialogue box that asks if you want to "Find Font" I say ok and select times and pick a new font and say change all yet times still shows up as missing. It doesn't seem to affect the document but no matter what font I pick no matter how many times I try to replace it, it still...

    Replacing deleted styles.

    When you want to delete and replace a style, is there a way to do it automatically rather than having to delete the new style and rename the wrong, old style? Quark used to give you a dialogue box as you went to delete a style that would say, "replace with" and then a pull down menu of all the...

    Indesign, import styled word docs

    jmgalvin, windows 2003 is latest version. However, we're already testing incopy and the import problems I'm having are directly related to word bringing its own styles in. I have solved the problem though. It was fairly simple. All I had to do was delete all the "Extra" paragraph and...

    Indesign, import styled word docs

    Unfortunately I am stuck with the word wrokflow and so far the "import options" have made no difference or made things worse. Any other ideas?

    Clipping path

    You'd be better off doing it in PS, however, if you really don't want to go into photoshop, you can try setting the transparency in indesign to multiply. it usually drops a white background out very nicely. :)

    Indesign, import styled word docs

    I'm not new to indesign, just this group, but after years and years of using quark I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with Indesign. Our editors "style" the manuscript pages in word so (like in quark) we pick up the articles and just flow them in and as long as the style name matches you...
