Hi Henry, If you want to place variable data in Indesign you can use Data-merge function. To show how it works look at: http://www.theindesigner.com/blog/episode-43-data-merge-video If you have any questions, i am glad to help you... Marcel

Hi gw, There is way to create a pdf just the way you want. If you are working with CS4 you can use "conditional text/graphics". 1. If you make a condition "Small Projects" and "Large Projects" and "Worship Centers" ect.. 2. Then set the condition to your graphics and text. 3. Then when...

Hi Matt, i guessed you would reply ... because i did skip some detail to make my solution easier to understand... i guess i did skip to much.. :) The solution i was gave was a way to colorize your text after you have done the data-merge. With data-merge you cannot (not that i know of) color...

Hi Matt, There is a way and it doesn't take much programming.. :) Indesign comes with an javascript with the name "FindChangeByList.jsx" (it can also be found on the CD) You can let this script do several find/replace automatically. Even GREP is possible. The script uses a text-file which...

Hi johnniec, 1. Cell insets makes a cell bigger then the 10 pt text in the cell. You can set the cell insets at the cell options. The Top, Bottom, Left and Right can be set. 2. The height can also be set at the Row Height (Row and Colums). It can be set to "At Least" or to "excact" I have...

Hi ChiowD, If the PDF-files are according to your instructions then there is nothing to do, i guess. Indesign will handle the PDF-files just as it where other graphics. Marcel

Hi Chiow, Are the PDF the right resolution ? because if you want to print (or press), the PDF files should have the right resolution. How are the PDF files generated? i had problems with pdf files that came out MS-word (i didn't know that they were made in MS-word, at the moment i imported :|...

Hi Johnnie, You could do it with a table. But why not use a nested style ? Jimmy TAB August James TAB December Jimjam TAB March Use an different character style in front of the TAB this way it is much easer to line up every thing. And also to do later on some editing. Marcel

hi Johnnie, not that i know of.. i did a little test but with no luck.. i broke the two columns (with a script) and then apply a object style, (including a paragraph style A) to one box and another object style (with paragraph style B) to the other box. But it will not change paragraph style...

Hi Funky, It is a good alternative. Althought i don't know if you would leave it on the QuakXpress keyboard shortcuts. If you are thinking to switch to Indesign, it's best to learn the standard keyboard shortcuts. Ofcourse you can make your own shortcuts, you need. Marcel

Hi Vilz, i dont't have acces to id2 right now, but you can try this... 1. first make a charaterstyle bold and italic. 2. import the text. 3. find/change a. leave "change what" and "change to" blank b. find format settings: format Basic charater format -> fill "bold" at font style...

Hi Mer, One thing i would save the photo's in PSD (photoshop format). 1. Is it always the same page that gives problems ? or the same picture ? 2. Have you moved the picture that gives a strange effect to another page? 3. Have you made a HI-Ress PDF of the pages ? Are all pages the same...

Hi Vilz, do you mean .. A. The paragraph style has bold and intalic and after MS-word import it is gone ? (have you tried "past without formating"?) or B. MS-word text has bold and italic but it doesn't came into indesign after import ? Marcel

Hi Peter, I am working on a project that has a deadline.. I am sorry that i cannot look at your project in depth.... But last night i thought of a way that is less complicated (maybe). Looking at your layout of the different pages in indesign, i thought it would be a good idea to look at the...

Hi Peter, Many thanks for the files.. :) I didn't have much time the last days to look at your problem you have. The filemaker layout is looks nice :) I could not get it to work at my computer.. :( so i could not test why it didn't work. I had not much time to look at it, sorry for that. I...

Hi Crymcc, Welkom to the forum. You want to show pieces/sections of your previous work inside an indesign document. Indesign can import the PDF files. Within indesign you can crop and/or resize them to your needs. So no need to go the screenshot lane. Although if you want to alter the...

Hi Sebastian, Your right.. i didn't noticed it.. i looked at the distance indication at the middle of the page. Marcel

Hi Sebastian, Indesign can have a different baseline for each text-frame. i guess that would do the trick for you. See: Object ->Text-frame-options->baseline options of a frame You can make an object style, so you can use it at more places in your document. Just one other thought, you can...

Hi Peter, Thank you. I like to help and often i learn something on the road.. You are right the xml-workflow is something you need to setup and test. But having the automator workflow ready, it would generate more time and maybe more stress .. :) to finish the project. I real like you see...

Hi Peter, I don't have the automator-setup infront of me, but i think it could be the setting of the obejectstyle of the frame. (See objectstyle.jpg) What did you think of the other workflow ? To make it more clear what i mend i have made an diagram...
