    Placed text disappears!

    Thanks Eugene – but still the same. Tried Line Composer and Para Composer: all that's placed is the first 2 lines, leaving an otherwise blank frame and an outport showing overflowed text. I've checked the various Word and TextEdit files I've been trying to import, and can't find any mysterious...

    Placed text disappears!

    Thanks to Eugene for previous answer. But the problem remains! I place text from a Word or TextEdit file, into an existing ID frame or dragging out a new one. I get the first couple of lines, the rest disappears down the overflow port and I can't get it back. The same happens if I copy the Word...

    Style sheets lose my text

    Just installed brand new CS3 Premium (on G4 running Tiger 4.11), so I'm groping around while trying to lay out a 36pp mag in a hurry. Whenever I apply para styles to text, the text vanishes, leaving the 'text overload' box full. What is dumping my text? Why? It must be something to do with...

    Lost the baseline grid

    No, it's a G4 PowerPC. I'll try ditching the prefs, but I haven't got the install disks because I bought it with CS2 already installed. Thanks again.

    Imposition problem

    Thanks a lot for this. And so prompt too!

    Imposition problem

    I'm doing an A4 36pp magazine; the printer wants it imposed 2-up – ie p36+p1, p2+p35, p34+p3 etc. Separate PDF for each of these spreads. If I do it in InDesign before making PDFs I'll lose auto page numbering. If I make separate PDFs for each spread they presumably won't be butted up to each...

    Line up Text

    Agree with everything jmgalvin says; but also, if you press Enter after the last line in column 1, the next line will start in column 2, and so on. So you can add stuff in column 1 without shifting text down in column 2 (until you fill the bottom of column 1).

    Lost the baseline grid

    Well, I haven't lost the baseline grid, but all the text in my 36pp magazine file has shifted off it, so columns of type are no longer aligned horizontally. Baseline shift is set at zero, Align to Baseline Grid is on. I've tried turning the Align off and on again, with no effect. At the same...

    Creating page imposition

    Using Acrobat Pro 7 (and InDesign CS2)on a PowerBook with OS 10.5.2. I'm trying to send a 36pp magazine layout to our new printers, who require separate PDF for each side of each spread – ie p36+p1, p2+p35, p34+p3 etc. This means extracting pages from existing spreads and re-organising them into...

    Losing bleed when exporting to PDF

    How do I export InDesign files to PDF without losing bleed? Neither InDesign nor Acrobat Helps have anything to say on this?

    Video stalling halfway through

    On our website (www.livingriver.net) we have a video 'walkthrough'. It stalls after a minute or so – on PCs and Macs, in Safari, IE and Firefox. We've had web professionals trying to resolve the problem, but none have been able to. The video is a Windows Media File of 5.9Mb; its relevant code...

    "Can't extract embedded fonts"

    I'm doing 3 book designs in InDesign 3.0.1 and converting to PDF to send for proofing/printing. One was set mainly in Palatino: no problem. The others were mainly in Joanna and Bembo respectively. On the last, Acrobat warned (while converting) "Cannot extract embedded font 'QTNAZF+MBembo'. Some...

    Transparent backgrounds to bitmaps

    Sorry – Flash MX Professional 2004, v7.2. Mac OSX 10.4.7, on a G4 PowerBook.

    Transparent backgrounds to bitmaps

    I'm making an animation film in Flash; there's an overall bitmap background, on which I want to place various small bitmaps. In Photoshop I pen-draw round the object, turn the path into a clipping path, make it a selection and then invert the selection, then (belt and braces) I erase everything...

    Display size

    Understood. Many thanks again.

    Display size

    Many thanks, Kenneth. I did mean a full-screen Flash movie; but I forgot to note that it will include backgrounds scanned and sized in Photoshop, to fill the screen. These would be big files, even at 72dpi, so I don't want them any bigger than necessary. To do this, and place them properly on...

    Display size

    Very basic question: I'm building an animated cartoon for a school, to be run on their PCs (and copied on to CD/DVD for kids to take home). What size should I set the Flash stage to avoid unfilled areas on the screen?

    Windows Media Player problem

    Well, I've now published the site (www.livingriver.net) and the video seems to run ok on the web, if not on my hard drive. I think the problem may have been, not the path, but the 35Mb size of the video (not my doing!). Some time soon I'll edit it down to smaller window size and higher...
