    Still Needing Help with inconsistent actions? Please?

    Thanks to all who replied. I think 'coldasrice' nailed it, but I appreciate all the responses. I have completed my project and moved on to...the next one! Peace. "The learning curve is a MYTH! Learning in this industry is represented best by a right angle..."

    Drop caps 'issue'

    Marcus, Thank you for responding to my Drop Caps question. No, I don't believe there is a red '+' on the Style... I had to make a deadline on this project so I did my best to convey a sense of unity throughout the catalog; however, I was NEVER able to insert Drop Caps into any of the...

    Still Needing Help with inconsistent actions? Please?

    I posted previously about inconsistent behavior in InDesign while trying to implement a paragraph style containing Drop Caps, but no one replied. Hmmmm. Still need help, approaching drop deadline, and I'm worried. To review: I place some text from a word document, then select it and click on...

    Drop caps 'issue'

    I am designing a 32-page catalog for a literary press. I want to use Drop caps in the excerpts which appear on each page, and I would like this to be uniform and consistent. However, I'm only having about 50% success at transforming the first character ( sometimes two characters, when a...

    Creating Ads in Illustrator

    Bizgirl, I teach Illustrator 10 at the Technical College level, and the advice you have received from BlueArk is good advice. It kind of sounds as if you are in over your head with this new "position". I know the feeling. My advice would be to lose PageMaker. PageMaker is an...

    Using a Gradient as a Layer Mask?

    Somewhere along the line I have seen how to apply a Gradient as a Layer Mask. Now I've forgotten the technique used. Can anyone tell me the steps to implement? "The learning curve is a MYTH! Learning in this industry is represented best by a right angle..."

    Erasure and/or Cropping: Equivalents with Illustrator?

    I should know the answer to these questions, but alas, I do not. I often experience my students in the Intro to Illustrator course I teach trying to perform the equivalent of 'erasing', like one can do in Photoshop. Short of removing anchor points, I never have a good answer for them about how...

    Resolution For Print

    1. Yes, Illustrator is the better application to use for creating logos; this is due to the infinite scalability provided by vector graphics (SVG), and the elimination of the 'jaggies' which often degrade edges of type or lines. 2. I agree that EPS would be preferred file format. 3. Before...

    Invisible 'Objects' Which Print Over Content?

    To respond to Jeep's question: no, even when moving items to Back, there are no 'objectionable' objects revealed to select and cut... It's a headscratcher....and to make it worse, my wife keeps forgetting how to implement the arcane workaround I devised for her, so she keeps calling me at work...

    Multiple Instances of JS Rollover on Same Page?

    When creating onMouseover's in Dreamweaver, I've encountered the problem of the functions and variables basically being designated as the same 'name', when attempting to include multiple SEPERATE rollover events on a single page of HTML. Although I have some familiarity with JavaScript, it...

    Image File Formats All Degrade

    polda/zefir: thanks for pointing me in a few germane directions. I reconfigured the prefs for high resolution display, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I can see or witness the poor resolution or degrading before I ever send it to print, and then when I try printing it, it prints...

    Image File Formats All Degrade

    O.K., I'm having a big problem with Pagemaker 7.0 and importing image files: they all lose resolution and quality and PLACE horribly degraded. Doesn't matter what file format I use, EPS, TIF, GIF, JPEG, BMP. End result = GARBAGE. I cannot recall facing this troubleshooting difficulty with...

    PageMaker 6.5 vs PageMaker 7.0 The Difference?

    I have just switched from 6.5 to 7.0; I do not see any "vast" improvements in the newer version. It's more like 6.5 with patches, and extra goodies in the goodies library (clip art stuff). I am, however, experiencing a new set of unique problems to troubleshoot running 7.0. I'm...

    Invisible 'Objects' Which Print Over Content?

    My wife is running Pagemaker 7.0 on Windows 98 platform, and encountering a problem that has me stumped. When trying to print a menu for her cafe, black rectangle objects appear on the print-out near the bottom of the page. In Actual View, no such objects "seem" to exist; no...

    PSP Naturally Superior?

    Much to my surprise and amazement I've discovered a co-worker here has been routinely "saving" screenshots as GIF's in Paint Shop Pro and receiving results that are optimized and compressed far greater than I can manage with even Fireworks 4.0! There are no settings or choices...

    Anyone Know if Xpress Will Run on Windows ME?

    This is my second post of this question, which either means no one knows for certain, or no one cares? I can't seem to get an answer from Quark, so I am hopeful someone here will hold the answer to this basic query. If I can run it on ME, I'm going to purchase a copy, along with a Laser...

    Quark XPress Platform Compatibility?

    Does anyone know specifically if Quark Xpress will run on Windows ME? It does not explicitly state this on the Quark site, and when I sent this simple question to their email tech support, I received back a very non-helpful 3 or 4 page long 'archive' of 'known issues', none of which seem to...

    Quark, InDesign, or PM 7.0?

    I am deliberating purchase of new prepress layout software for print publication(s), and am trying to decide between Quark Xpress, or Adobe's InDesign or Pagemaker 7.0. I currently run Pagemaker 6.5 on Windows ME edition, but frequently encounter odd problems with the Distiller. I've tried to...

    Pagemaker 7.0 vs InDesign: Comments?

    Thanks to grillhouse and Zefir for these insights. I would like to mention that I found a small 'footnote' at the Adobe products table site which suggests using InDesign over PM 7.0 for prepress readiness of publications. I have since determined that Quark Xpress will run on my Windows ME...

    Pagemaker 7.0 vs InDesign: Comments?

    Well, Adobe is at it again....confusing the issue and never providing germane details at their website. I was surprised to discover 'Pagemaker 7.0' as a new product listing. Drilling down on the 'features' gives you absolutely nothing to work with; they are, more and more, providing...
