David BlatnerKeymasterIf you're using an opentype font (often a “pro” font), then InDesign should use those automatically, though perhaps you'll have to set them by choosing Superscript/Superior from the OpenType flyout menu, inside the Character panel menu. (This also appears in the Control panel menu.)
David BlatnerKeymasterHi Peggy, I'm sorry that you had problems with the test. Your comments are interesting to me, because the exam was specifically designed to test real world expertise and experience with the program over knowledge. I think the idea of using Real World InDesign is good, but the best thing would be to just create a bunch of InDesign documents with the knowledge you now have. For example, find magazine and book pages and try to recreate them yourself.
David BlatnerKeymasterAre you using CS5? 5.5? As long as you have the same version (choose About InDesign from the InDesign menu on the Mac or the Help menu on Windows), you should be able to open it.
David BlatnerKeymasterHere is an article about how to get images out of MS Word documents so you can use them in InDesign:

David BlatnerKeymasterThe fact that this is “fixed” when you export as interactive pdf makes me think that there's something going on involving rgb vs. cmyk. Is it only when a spot color is involved? Is Transparency Blend Mode set to CMYK or RGB? Are all colors (other than spot colors) specced as CMYK? Have you turned on Use Lab Values for Spot Colors in the Ink Manager dialog box?

David BlatnerKeymasterI wonder if perhaps you had run one of these scripts that always shows text overrides, such as ShowTextOverrides.jsx:

Or something having to do with composition highlighting?
David BlatnerKeymasterAlso, I would be curious if the problem persists if you export to PDF and then print from Acrobat. I have heard of this, though not experienced it. I wonder it if might be when printing to a non-postscript printer, like an inkjet?

David BlatnerKeymasterI don't think there's any way to do that easily with split/span columns. Unless perhaps you put each equation in its own text frame (kind of like “grouping” it) and anchor it in the larger text frame.
David BlatnerKeymasterThis is far easier in CS5.5, though you may still need to create the dropcap as an anchored image. The key is that you need a float tag in the css styles (just like you do in html). You can hand-code it yourself, though, in cs4.
David BlatnerKeymasterMaybe corruption. I would recommend exporting as INX (file > export) and open that INX file again. (In CS4 and 5, use IDML.)
David BlatnerKeymasterI have never seen this happen when it was not a different version. Did you create the file with the SAME copy of InDesign, on the same computer, that you're trying to open it with? Are you sure you are running CS4? It is easy to launch CS3 by accident, for example.

David BlatnerKeymasterI don't know if including pdf bookmarks makes any difference.
In fact, you don't even need to build a TOC in the document at all. The most important part is to save a TOC STYLE (layout > toc styles), and then choose that when exporting the epub.
(though I like the term “ebub”… that's epub with a head cold, I guess.)

David BlatnerKeymasterKasyan, I think you have a great idea. We will certainly think about how we can include some beginner scripting articles here, trying not to scare away designers and other users. :)
David BlatnerKeymasterAlso, I'm wondering what it means when you say “go into InDesign.” Do you mean they look black when they're in InDesign but turn 4-color in the PDF? Or are you talking about placing those PDFs into an INDD document, and they appear black there (in Separation Preview panel)?
