    Thanks so much. The TRIM function did the job perfectly and save me a great deal of time. KF

    extra spaces in excel table

    Converting an excel column to a Word list, in this case a list of thousands of names to be formatted in Indesign for a document, I end up with various numbers of extra spaces after each name in the list, all of which have to be deleted row by time-consuming row to make the list usable in...

    pencil tool lines without fill

    Thanks for the suggestions. I still don't see a solution. I'm working in ID CS4. The "none" square with a red line for "none" just isn't there in the swatches palette. There's no black or "paper" swatch. I can add new colors, but I don't know how to add these standards. If I move the graphic...

    pencil tool lines without fill

    I need to add lines to a graphic. When I make lines with the pencil tool, the spaces created are filled and swatches gives me no option but to add a color. There's no "nothing" option. How can I make lines without adding fill? Help appreciated. Ken

    MS office shortcut bar

    Thanks. I've tried this route several times, but the shortcut bar is not listed as one of the office tools--only the major office components are there.

    MS office shortcut bar

    Yes, it is in the startup list. But if I remove it there, then I have to use Selective Startup all the time to keep it off. Can you tell me how to remove it permanently from startup?

    MS office shortcut bar

    I have MS Office 2003,standard, running on Windows XP. I would love to get rid of the Office shortcut bar that always shows up. I understand that the shortcut bar was a feature of Office 97 not included in 2003. I find no remnants of Office 97 on my list of programs. The shortcut bar doesn't...

    Uninstall previous version?

    A simple one: Installing Indesign CS4 and Photoshop Elements 6 did not automatically uninstall ealier versions. Can I safely uninstall them without endangering any files necessary for the newer versions? (I've been using the newer versions for quite a while.)

    Indesign swatches disappear

    I have a long, complex document in the works for some time. I need to make a couple of additions, and suddenly all of my swatches are gone from the swatches palette. It won't let me load swatches from another copy of the file becasue it says they are already in the document. How do I restore...

    text mysteriously blocked

    OK, Here's the file. The frame in question is in the lower right hand corner of page 15. White text: "continued, page 18." It's a little above where it belongs now; lowered to its proper position, the text disappears. Thanks for your help. http://www.yousendit.com/download/Smp2YUlnaFJEbUkwTVE9PQ

    text mysteriously blocked

    Ignore text wrap is not checked for the underlying frame because the text in this frame needs to wrap around the frame in question. I have put this frame on a new layer on top of all others; this makes no difference in the way it behaves. Still, when the frame overlaps the margin line, as it...

    text mysteriously blocked

    Thanks. I've checked this several times. "Ignore text wrap" is checked for the text frame in question, and that doesn't clear up the problem. That's why it's so vexing for me.

    text mysteriously blocked

    In a small text frame, my text disappears when I move the frame to its proper position. A little above or below, it reappears. I've run into this problem in two other places in complex documents; found no solution. In this case, the frame is within another text frame, and overlaps a page number...

    How can I convert a color PDF image to B/W?

    Thanks, I'll work with this. (PS Elements does allow me to change the mode for an image to greyscale, but I can't open a pdf file in PS Elements.)

    How can I convert a color PDF image to B/W?

    I need to use some images in a document for black and white printing (with one spot color) that I have only in PDF format. As far as I can find, neither Photoshop Elements nor Indesign allow me to convert a color image in PDF format to black and white. Any suggestions appreciated.

    match process color to spot

    I need to find the closest possible process color to a given spot color. Pantone color library info indicates that Adobe makes their comparison charts available to CS2 application users, but I can't find the comparisons. Any help appreciated. Ken Ford

    Many thanks for quick and full response. Can't try immediately because I don't have exel>pdf capability, but that I'm sure I can find.

    graphic import from excel

    I'd like to be able to use a simple pie chart generated in excel in an InDesign publication. When I paste it in, the resolution is not adequate--highly pixelated edges. Is there a way around this problem or another way of generating a simple pie chart for InDesign without Illustrator?
