    IDCS2 - autoflow question re: text frames

    I have a group facing pages document with 2 columns per page. These documents were created from the same base ID file. Here's the strange thing: sometimes when autoflowing/importing text into my ID document, two single text frames(single column in each frame) are added to each page; on other...

    Inline graphics shifting out of place

    I have a 2 column document that contains graphics whose width are the same as a single column. I'm placing them inline with the text. The problem I'm running into is that whenever any changes are made to the content (ie. text/images are added/removed), any graphics that are sitting flush top...

    Find & Replace for subscripts

    If I have a document with a ton of unformatted symbols (eg. H20, 02, Cl2), is there a way to use find/replace to automate forcing the 2 to a subscript?

    Inline graphics - strange behavior

    Nevermind. The text leading had to be changed from manual to auto.

    Inline graphics - strange behavior

    I'm having trouble placing an inline graphic. After pasting into the desired area, the graphic runs backward into the preceding paragraphs. It doesn't make a difference if text wrap is turned on or not. Up until now, in other documents it's behaved as expected, creating its own space within...

    Automatic numbering of Figures & Tables

    Can anyone tell me if this is possible in InDesign natively, or am I forced to use a third party plugin?

    Facing Pages Question

    For a facing pages question, I have two master pages(3pgs total): 1 single page for new sections/chapters and a 2 page spread for all other content I want the single page to always be an even numbered page and ID to insert a blank page to the left(odd). Is this possible automatically without...

    How to replace wildcards

    I'm doing a find/change on all numbers formatted ^9.^9(ie. 1.0) and want to insert a tab before and after. I place ^t^9.^9^t in the change field, but ID will literally place the '^9' instead of the pre-existing number. How do I keep the numbers here. Apparently you can't place wildcards in...

    Specifying a master

    I'm importing a word document into InDesign document with 2 master pages, one for the first page of each chapter(master#1) and another master for the remaining pages(master#2). My question here is two-fold: 1) Upon importing, is it possible to apply master#1 to areas where there is a page...

    Outputting a Tabloid to Letter size

    Ok, so now I've got the document as a 4pg spread. How do I print out to tabloid with 2 pages on each sheet. I seem to only be able to print the pages separately.

    Indesign hangs: Cannot open, place, or export

    I ended up biting the bullet and reinstalled the OS(actually upgrading to xp) along with all my applications, which seems to have worked.

    Outputting a Tabloid to Letter size

    Unfortunately, I set it up as a tabloid with two sections. Dumb, I know, but I'm looking for a way to splice each tabloid page into two pdf pages instead of one. It's looking like I'll need to reset the document to facing letter pages, right?

    Outputting a Tabloid to Letter size

    I've created a 2 page newsletter for print(4 pages total, 2 per spread in the order 4, 1; 2,3). Spread is tabloid size; 2 letter sz pages joined together. My question is can I output to pdf in letter size where only a single page shows at a time rather than the out of order pages.

    Indesign hangs: Cannot open, place, or export

    That didn't seem to help. Strangely enough, I'm now noticing the same problem in Illustrator CS2. I have 2GB ram but an older video card(ATI Radeon 9550) running on a dual processor Dell Precision 650, so performance shouldn't be an issue. I found an adobe document that seems to address the...

    Indesign hangs: Cannot open, place, or export

    When I select the open, place, or export from the File menu, InDesign appears to hang. The dialog box to select the file does not appear and the application hangs. My other applications seem to work and I can change focus back to InDesign. It just looks like the dialog box is off screen/hidden...

    Flush text against top of frame

    Thanks for the reply. After the initial word( set at 18pt )I needed the remainder of the paragraph aligned under the next 12pt word; the only way I could do this was by placing the first word as an anchored object and indenting the paragraph.

    Partially rounding corners

    What's the easiest way to selectively round 1 only corner on a rectangular text frame within InDesign? It appears that the Rounded Corners option is applied to all corners.

    Flush text against top of frame

    I'm looking for a drop cap effect but can't use it since the text doesn't quite span two lines. I want all text to sit flush vertically against the top of the text frame, regardless of size. The first words are a nested character style with a 18pt font size and the rest of the text is 12pt...
