    trouble w/ links in pop up menu

    I created a drop down menu in fireworks & am using it in Dreamweaver. Three of the buttons don't actually get any "drop downs", so they are just linked straight to their page (example, the "home" button). Here's the problem: any link to a "drop down" button works fine. Any link to a top level...

    Creating graphics for print

    Yoiks! You shouldn't be using Fireworks for print!! And not Publisher either--many printers won't accept those files & they are not meant for that purpose. You need a good layout program such as Quark or Indesign. Freehand or Illustrator, or even Photoshop will work also, if you know what...

    getting foreign accent symbols--urgent!

    I could SWEAR I knew how to do this! I thought to get, for example, and accent over an e, you hit option-e, then e again, which then typed a character w/ the added accent. But it isn't working--when I do that, I get ´e instead! (I just noticed it works here when typing it in!) How do I get this...

    help--my font menus are gone!

    I use Adobe Type Manager. I've already re-installed it, with no change. And since the font menus work fine in every other software, I really think this is a Quark issue.

    help--my font menus are gone!

    I was working merrily away on a Quark document (Mac, OS 9.2, Quark 4.1), when suddenly my font menu list disappeared. If I have text highlighted & click down in the bottom bar to bring up the menu of fonts, nothing happens. Also, nothing happens if I try to bring up the font menu by using the...

    is there a way to bring in a Word table intact?

    I keep running into this problem: I'm provided all the text for website pages in Word documents. The writers, thinking they are being helpful, put some data into table. The joy of the task of cutting and pasting each little cell content has worn very, very thin. Is there any way to bring in the...

    pdf from quark through Distiller 5.0; not embedding fonts

    I've been making pdf files for printers for awhile & suddenly started getting calls that the fonts were not embedded. But I've been telling it to embed all fonts! It isn't working. One printer told me she'd run into this problem a lot, but didn't know a solution. This is worthless to me if I...

    stoopid question, but save me some time: not underlining links?

    I *know* how to do this, but am drawing a complete blank, & have already wasted too much time this morning hunting for it. I want to make the links not underlined. I know there is a simple stupid little box to check & viola, it's done. But I can't find the *&%$#@ thing. Help!

    How to edit data when creating graphs?

    I've been messing w/ this today. When I make a column graph, the software automatically puts in measuring numbers along the side. For example, the graph comes up with the "measurement numbers" (vertically along the left side) set at 3,6,9,12,15. I want them to be 2,4,6,8,10, etc. Is...

    What'd they do to the exclude command???

    Okay, in my beloved version six, all you did was select 2 overlapping objects, go up to "filter", to "pathfinder", & choose "exclude". Now I choose the 2 objects, go to "effect", to "pathfinder", & choose "exclude". First it tells me...

    linking Photoshop files to download???

    Help! I have to teach a Photoshop class next week & want to have all the exercise files on my website for everyone to download at the start of the class. How do I put in a link that tells it to actually download the files, instead of open them? I've put the images up & had them right-click...

    Controlling size of "target: blank" command?

    If I have a link that opens a new browser window, is there a way to control the size? It defaults to opening a big new page. Any way to force it to be smaller?

    Wacky behavior using image map w/ show/hide layers

    Wacky behavior using image map w/ show/hide layers

    I'm trying to make a show/hide layer behavior, where if you mouse over part of a large image (an image mapped area), the whole image will change. It works, but when viewing in the browser, as the mouse moves over the mapped area, the hidden layer flashes visible/not/visible/not... only if the...

    online portfolios??

    http://www.smarterwork.com http://www.bullhorn.com I haven't had any success, but these are sites where you can put up a portfolio & resume, & bid for work. There are just so many designers on the sites, I think you tend to get lost in the crowd.

    How to start out in webdesign

    I've been a freelance graphic designer for 3 years, & just started doing web sites about a year ago. Getting clients is *hard*. At least for me. The most effective way I've found of getting new clients is through referrals. I joined a business networking group in my city which meets every week...

    Where do you get all your images/photos?

    http://www.arttoday is a subscription site that's well worth the yearly fee. (IMO). Hundreds of thousands of photos, vector art, web art, and fonts.

    Don't make my dumb mistake!

    Okay, this is probably obvious to the whole world execpt me, but I just spent two days trying to figure out why my pages weren't showing the changes when I uploaded them to the server....I was forgetting to send over the revised .css definitions! So I was doing all kinds of things, looked fine...

    How do you get an Image to download instead of appear on a page?

    A follow-up question: how do you do this for a Mac based end-user (can't use zip files)? regards to the squirrel eaters.... I can sympathise!

    why can't I control where the cell dividers of my tables go?

    HEY--just found something: can I build the page using layes & then use the CONVERT > Layers to Tables command? It's not as clean, I know (code-wise), but will it come up all right in both browsers? Can I cheat, Can I? Pleeeese?
