corel draw perhaps?

i used to have to deal with corel files at a service bureau that i worked for and feel that training would be a great idea rather than just jumping in. the above poster is a co-author of a go-to book i use at work called real-world adobe indesign. i'd suggest getting that. also, check out the lynda.com site for how-to videos.

i'd like some bbq sauce with my humble pie… :D

must admit i'd tried it in when i saw the OP and it was done quite hastily and it wasn't until i read your post that i second-guessed it and tried it again, but with more guides and lo and behold, they didn't go the same color as the layer but stayed the default 5% cyan :(.

sorry if this has frustrated anyone who tried the advice in my earlier post…

go to the preferences menu and go to guides and pasteboard to change the colour of the default lines like slug, bleed etc. to change the colour of the guidelines placed manually, go to the layers panel, double click on the layer and change the colour of the layer (the default is blue).

i'm not so sure the OP is talking about managing creep manually. i think the OP is referring to a book which, rather than having pages the same size throughout, has tabs or fold-out panels which poke out every so often. can the OP please elaborate in greater detail as to what is being done, and perhaps upload to an ftp the instructions the printer gave them? i've worked on several saddle-stitched books which had pages which fold out and, whichever way they're set up, they can be trouble, and its mainly to do with grasping the concept of taking the 2D artwork and making it into a book which has 3D characteristics such as panels, odd page sizes, etc.

i'd also like to reassure the OP that they have not asked a stupid question. these kinds of books come up rarely for me, and i don't know how often other printers would see them.

its a mac thing. go to the dock and go to the system preferences. go to keyboard and make sure that the checkbox which says “Use all F1, F2, etc keys as standard function keys is turned on” AND go to the keyboard shortcuts tab and scroll through the items which interfere with the indesign shortcuts and turn them off.

otherwise, if you want to keep the mac default shortcuts and change indesign's shortcuts, go to the edit menu and go edit shortcuts. the defaults can't change, but a new set can be created, so anyone else using the machine can change the workspace to the default and use the keys they may be familiar with.

his post effectively said make sure that the desktop resolution is 96 and not 144.
