    Hi Kasyan,

    I build a small community newspaper (24 pages) that appears twice a month and I've run across the same problem with my links. Obviously, a lot of the paper's graphics and the majority of the approximately 60 ads are the same from issue to issue, and I find myself putting a lot of time into assuring that the links are current — time that could be better spent with layout.

    As I can't afford an upgrade to my computer (Mac G4 from 2001) or to my software, will this script work with InDesign CS2?

    Thanks,

    Bill

    I like mckayk777's suggestion, but as it turns out, jmark's is on the mark! I went to the link on his post, followed the directions (I even removed the other languages from Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/), and now my wait time is under 5 seconds! And this is for the first print call after starting InDesign!

    I am happy now. This worked for me. Now if my car repair today will be as easy!

    Thank you, jmark.

    Hi Jess,

    I'm going to ask what may seem like an obvious question, but have you used your Selection Tool to move the text block containing the page number marker to the side of the page where you want it to be?

    One has to be very careful what one smirks at!

    I've tried numerous times to sell the idea of a web site to one of my clients, but he is still of the mind set that if he doesn't understand something, “It wouldn't be of any use to me,” he smirks. (He actually smirks!) He refuses to see the value in this form of marketing. And yet, he bills himself as a marketing consultant!

    But then, he also misses the days of cold type (AND hot type, for that matter!)

    I've since given up on discussing this technology with him. Of course, one day he'll come bursting into my office, eyes all agleam, raving about this new way to get the information about his consulting business out to prospective clients! “What is this new approach?” I'll innocently ask him. “Why, the World Wide Internet!” he'll announce, proud of his mastery of the lingo. [sigh]

    Thought you guys might like to see two of my favorite (and still indispensable) graphics tools. Although I've been designing on computers since 1986, I still turn to these old friends on a daily basis.

    Hey Jongware,

    You should say “It was great fun — nevertheless, Thank you Aldus for PageMaker!” although MacPublisher really started things off a year earlier, in 1984. THOSE were heady days! Talk about riding the crest of a wave.

    But let's give 100 points to anyone who has seen a Linotype machine in operation. And not just as a museum demonstration!

    BTW, this has been happening to me from the start with my set up — and that means since summer 2001.

    Hello everyone,

    I'm on a Mac G4 that I bought new in 2001, running 10.4.11 (the highest OS it will handle), and I have the same problem with InDesign CS2. The print dialogue box is very slow to open first call but not for subsequent calls, unless I quit and restart InDesign.

    Surely there's an obvious fix for this? Anyone?
