David BlatnerKeymasterI would strongly recommend anyone who wants to make a calendar in InDesign create it with CalendarWizard:
David BlatnerKeymasterYes, “whew” is right! We had to rebuild our database…. which sounds really scary to me, though apparently it was quite easy to do. I've mucked about in php and html and css and all that, but when it comes to mysql, the whole thing freaks me out. I better get over that one of these days. ;)
Sorry for the inconvenience, folks.
David BlatnerKeymasterHaven't tried this, but Peter's scripts are usually excellent:

David BlatnerKeymasterThe number sign (usually a light blue) means “end of story” when Type > Show Hidden Characters is enabled.
If you're seeing it in a frame AND the frame has text in it, I bet there's another frame behind it (perhaps one on a master page?) that is empty.
