Thanks for the suggestions. At the time, I didn't have either Excel or Word on my computer, but my daughter came to the rescue and installed them for me. So now O can sort to my heart's content. I've never noticed if I have that script in my ID. I'll have to check.

Is it possible in IDCS2 to sort text in a table column alphabetically?

There's another way (although this may be referred to in the link given by eugene) which I use. I create the rounded rectangle shape I want to use AND I create the table separately. When the table is complete (row fills, etc), I then cut it, select the previously created shape, then use the...

I only skimmed eugenetyson's post, but if it wasn't mentioned, why are you PASTING your graphics into your InDesign layout? You should be using the File>Place function.

Make a habit of working in layers and always placing the text in the topmost layer.

Just be aware that laying put a magazine is not just a matter of mastering the software.

Can't help you then as I am in Australia.

soledadsister Where do you live? Can't suggest any course until that basic piece of info is provided. In the meantime, either join linda.com (great training videos) and/or buy yourself Adone's 'Classroom in a Book' or the relevant 'Visual Quick Start Guide'.

Getting the absolute latest PPD for the printer is the first thing to do. Also, there is an option in the print dialog box "download PPD fonts" -- make sure this is turned on.

Are the white lines still there when you zoom in close? Are they there when you print? Probably 'no' to both - they seem to be an artifact at certain views in Acrobat. Re the white bounding boxes.. done to death but still a nuisance. Make sure the transparent images do not have spot colours...

Sounds like a total reformat of the computer might be in order.

Have you converted the EPS to AI? Let's back up a bit. Do you need to edit the text? If not, just save it as an AI file and place it in ID. If you need to edit the text, do it first in AI.

>>With your hand now free from holding the control key, you can eat those chips.<< Love it!! :) :) :)

I could ask the obvious question and ask why do the text in AI instead of ID to start with? But since you have, try copying and pasting, rather than saving as an AI or PDF file and placing it in ID.

Pixelchick - yes that works on a mac, and a lifesaver it is for me nearly every day. I have a corporate design element whose colour changes according to the project. It used to be such a nuisance to decide on a colour for this element, then have to go back to AI to convert the element into its...

I agree it's not intuitive, although after it actually works, it makes sense. :) :)

Dave Yes you can do four different records on the one page. The secret is to place just ONE record, place all the relevant field headers from the database and then set the manual layout tab to enable ID to fit two records across and two down within the margins, by inputting the correct row and...

appepp - gotta try that!

Once you discover the power of layers you will never look back, or have trouble selecting an object within a stack. Layers are your friend.

Are you trying to keep graphics with certain text? If so, there is no need to draw an image frame first. Insert the text cursor where you wish to 'dock' (Adobe now uses the term 'anchor') the graphic, and place the image. It will now be inline with, i.e. anchored to, that paragraph of text.
