    Autoformatting (?) text in CS4 - can't undo

    Help! I'm freelancing, taken over an InDesign doc from someone and every time I type a certain phrase it formats it into bold. It's nothing to do with Paragraph or Character styles, and I can't change it into the font I want from the character menu. What's going on? I've looked into nested...

    Dotted lines in Illustrator

    Is there an option to make dotted lines like there is in InDesign? I know about dashed lines in the stroke palette but I'm looking for something similar to "Japanese Dots".

    formatting graphs

    I am trying to set up a number of graphs all with the same y axis values. However, the graph data means that Illustrator makes the graphs different (see attachment for a better idea – one goes up to 60, one to 30, one to 80 etc). Is there a way of pre-defining the y-axis values so that all the...

    Saving back from Quark 6 to 4.1

    I'm stuck – I have to get some files to someone who's only got Quark 4.1 or InDesign CS3, and my files only exist in Quark 6. Anything I can do to get them in a format the client can use? Any help gratefully received.

    Info Palette in CS3 not working

    For some reason the info palette has decided to stop showing ppi information and word count. It's completely blank. I had this problem in CS2 and found a patch for it, but I've had a look on Adobe Forums and in the archive here but can't find anything useful. Any advice gratefully received.

    clipping multiple objects

    Is it possible to use multiple objects as a clipping path? I've tried grouping them and that doesn't work. Any advice gratefully received.

    Splitting table cell over page

    Help! Impending deadline looms... How do you stop InDesign moving the whole cell of text over to the next page if it's too long to fit on the current page? IT's leaving me with horrible gaps everywhere. Thank you!

    2 consecutive page numbers on one page

    Is it possible to use automatic page numbering to make 2 consecutive page numbers appear on one page? For example, I want page numbers 2 and 3 to appear on my left hand page (as 2|3). Hope thismakes sense, any help gratefully received.

    Character with diagonal strikethrough

    The glyphs palette shows all the characters available for each font, so if the typeface was designed without that character, you'll have to do it manually.

    How do I delete page one of a document with master pages?

    Try going to the fly out menu and unchecking "allow pages to shuffle". With a bit of tweaking, you should get what you want. And in response to your query, grafixenter, quite often artwork is set up like this for covers etc. and the printer does the difficult stuff of making it print correctly.

    exporting to PDF - spreads

    I think – if i understand correctly – that your single page docs need to be double pages. i.e. add in the blank page so it shows as a spread. Make sure "print blank pages' is checked when you export/print. If you have two single page docs you may need to put them in a doc together, though, so...

    Anchor Points

    Make sure you have the white arrow selected, and then when you hover over the point you want to move, you'll notice that a little white or black box appears next to the cursor. It's the white one you want, and it should work better for you.

    Tables and text flow

    Please help! I'm doing a 100+ page document which has tables dispered throughout it. I want to be able to link the tables to the text so that when I edit the text the tables stay in the right place. Is it best to create the tables in another programme and import them as images? If so, how...
