    Picture editing in InDesign

    There's another way which you may find easier. This is from InDesign's Help menu: To edit a linked file in its original application, you can also press the Alt key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) as you click on the placed file in the document layout.

    color difference

    Next to font problems, managing colour is one of the biggest hassles that desktop publishers and printers face. So you're not alone. Much depends on your home printer, it's quality and resolution. If it's just for comps, then it's not that big a deal anyway. (I assume you're going to get colour...

    Eliminating Text Frames

    Check your master pages. It's possible that adjustments made in your document (such as text frames) are being ignored because there are text frames on your master page(s). If that doesn't isn't it, make text frames on all the pages, turn them to white, and try again. (That's assuming you're...

    .jpg v. .tif for Press

    Your printer is correct. Jpegs are a "lossy" format, meaning that you will lose quality when saving in that format. Tif images are much more true to the original. You needn't save your images to 600 dpi. All things being equal, the eye cannot distinguish, and most offset printers cannot print...

    black registration

    You can also achieve a nice rich black by backing it with 10% cyan. This works especially well when printing large black areas, such as a mostly-black page with white text. It's also less expensive than running CMYK black and reduces potential registration problems.

    Would appreciate advice regarding InDesign for this publishing task.

    From my experience, I don't think InDesign is the best choice for this sort of task. I've had some experience with the Xerox Docutech system, and their Digipath software, and from what you've written here, I think that may be your better bet. Do you have a Docutech/Digipath system on-site?

    snapping to guides

    Try this: View -> Show Baseline Grid Create your own grid based on these lines View -> Snap to Document Grid Create and place your boxes Save (or Save As) That should do the trick.

    Problems with preflight or package in indesign

    It could be something as simple as not having enough RAM, or you may need to do a re-install of InDesign. Check the easiest things first. Does it hang up at a specific point every time? Or does the hanging take place at random?

    Importing QXD file to InDesign: scaling images?

    Thanks. In one sense, I'm glad it's not just me that's having this problem. I just wish there was some sort of foolproof way to ensure the proper importing of images. Markzware has some sort of third-party QXD to INDD conversion program, though I haven't used it. Has anyone else?

    Importing QXD file to InDesign: scaling images?

    When I open Quark files in InDesign, sometimes - not always - InDesign applies a different % scaling to the images that was originally applied in Quark. Sometimes it's only a small percentage, sometimes it's larger. But the nature of the work requires that the images import exactly (registering...
