MemberMy contract specifically states that I own the copyright to any designs that are NOT approved for final production.
I transfer copyright for approved designs, but not all designers do.
The Graphic Artists Guild publishes a handbook that is a good guide for pricing and ownership questions. (I don’t always follow it exactly but it’s a good resource for information.) https://graphicartistsguild.org/handbook
Even if you are letting it pass this time, you might send your client an invoice for use of the logo showing the price you would have charged, and then a line showing “payment waived.” Just so the client understands the value of the logo they are using, and the amount they will be charged if they do something like this again.
MemberSome other things to check:
Turn on Type Menu > Show Hidden Characters. Check if there is an extra return plus the Break character.
Is there an object with Text Wrap applied above that second column?
Check the Object Menu > Text Frame Options > Baseline Options.
–Is the Vertical Justification set to anything other than Top? Set it to Top.–Along with that: Is “Balance Columns” checked? Uncheck it. (This probably isn’t it but might as well try it while you are in there.)
–Is this one frame with two columns? Or two separate frames? If separate frames, check that both are set up the same way (including Inset Spacing).
MemberI have not used this software, but it sounds like WordsFlow might be just what you need.
I first heard about WordsFlow at The InDesign Conference in 2015. It allows the InDesign user to push changes out to a Word document. Then, when the Word doc is updated, the changes can be pulled back into InDesign. There is a free trial.
MemberIn your case: what if you set the tab for the TOC outside the right side of the frame so it pushes the text after the tab to the next line?
Sometimes I’ve had luck with setting a line of text as “No Break” so it gets too long to be on the first line of the TOC and so pushes itself to the second line. Totally dependent on the text though.
Otherwise putting a duplicate on a hidden layer or (my preferred method so I can see it) off to the side of the page on the pasteboard with the text frame touching the page is a good workaround.
MemberIf I understand correctly:
You’ll need to create separate Paragraph styles for the subpages and the ‘regular’ pages. In the book, the styles may look exactly the same.
Then you’ll create separate Paragraph styles to control the look of the subpages and the ‘regular’ pages in the Table of Contents.
April 26, 2016 at 9:18 am in reply to: Text flow issue – lots of white space at the bottom of the page #84322MemberI meant the “No Break” feature found in the drop down menu on the character panel (or in character and paragraph styles, or in the drop down menu on the control panel).
I don’t think it shows as a hidden character, so it can be hard to see. You can search for it using “Find/Change” (but that will not show you items in overset text).
Hope this helps.
April 25, 2016 at 8:10 am in reply to: Text flow issue – lots of white space at the bottom of the page #84257MemberHmm, you said Keep Options are off.
Any chance that “No Break” is applied to a bunch of text?
MemberJust chiming in to say I have had the same problem.
Mac running OS 10.10.3 Yosemite. InDesign CC2014 and Acrobat Pro DC.
Copying changes from a PDF to InDesign. Lots of comments on the PDF (which were added using Preview, but were easier to work with in Acrobat). Working with a comment’s text on the PDF would bring down both Acrobat and InDesign.
I don’t believe I had the same problem with the previous version of Acrobat (but updating to Acrobat Pro DC deletes the previous version so it would be difficult to go back).
October 30, 2013 at 5:12 pm in reply to: any way to combine "print booklet" and "export to PDF" functions?? #66038MemberThis is what I do: Export InDesign file to PDF as single pages.
(Sometimes) Set Properties for the PDF in Acrobat to show facing pages with a cover page (if the client will want to review spreads on screen).
Printing: Have client use the Print Booklet feature in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. (I take a screen shot of the Acrobat Print dialog showing the correct set up and send that to the client as a “How to” file.)
August 30, 2013 at 9:22 am in reply to: If text is selected, it inverts the color. Can I preview colors un-inverted? #65109MemberDavid, you’re right! I saw that but it didn’t click with me. In InDesign CC, selected text is highlighted in pale blue.
It’s still hard to get a really great idea of how the new color looks until you click off of it, but much better than the older reversed text highlight.
August 30, 2013 at 7:29 am in reply to: If text is selected, it inverts the color. Can I preview colors un-inverted? #65106MemberIf you have enough monitor space, this is a great use for WINDOW MENU>>Arrange>>New Window for [Your File]. Work in one window, watch the changes in the other.
MemberBob has it right: when you place an ai file into InDesign, InDesign is using the PDF part of the ai file.
You can test this by creating an ai file with the “Create PDF Compatible File” option in the SAVE AS dialog turned OFF. When you place that file into an InDesign file, you won't see the image. Instead you'll see a message telling you to re-save with the “Create PDF Compatible File” option turned on. (It's not just the preview that is missing, either. The ai image will not show if you pdf the InDesign file.)
You'll have the same problem if you open a pdf that was saved with “Create PDF Compatible File” option turned off into Photoshop.
MemberI use the workaround of putting the correct-for-the-TOC text on the pasteboard. As long as the text frame touches the edge of the page (and text is styled with the correct paragraph style) it will show in the TOC.
I like this technique better than using invisible text because, well, I can see it and the TOC text and the page chapter head text are next to each other: if the page chapter head text is changed, it's easy to remember to change the TOC text.
Disadvantage? Need to move the frame if text reflows to another page. I suppose I could anchor the text frame.
MemberCheck to see if you have “no break” applied. Or if there is a very long word and no hyphenation allowed.
