David BlatnerKeymasterYes, the method I used was to set the document baseline grid, but you could just as easily do this on a text frame basis, as Theun pointed out. That is probably more useful, actually. Then you can set that up in an object style and apply it to the text frame on the first page of the chapter!
David BlatnerKeymasterIs this just one document? Or a number of documents based on the same original template? If so, there may be some kind of corruption going on; try exporting to IDML and opening the IDML file and exporting PDF from that. If it's all documents, you may have a bigger problem; try rebuilding your preferences.
Other ideas: log in to a new account on your computer, or try exporting from a different computer.

Also, you might be able to make the first page a 2-page spread and fill the left page of that spread with the same color as the background, which would make it “disappear.”

I meant that there was no easy way to automatically insert/type that double-prime character. But yes, you could use it to style the character after it were there.
July 15, 2010 at 6:29 am in reply to: Inch symbols (double prime) being changed to quotation marks! #56351David BlatnerKeymasterI don't understand why a document would change when you move it from one computer to another. The Use Typographer's Quotes should only kick in when you type, copy/paste, use find/change… something like that, when the character is being changed anyway. You're saying that the glyph changes when you open the document itself?
Just to clarify, are you using “straight double quotes” or the “double prime” glyph? In general, the “true” inch march is a double-prime (Unicode 02BA in Symbol, I believe). Not sure how to type it, besides the Glyphs panel. If you can't type it, you probably can't make it with a grep style (which is what you'd probably want). Hm.

David BlatnerKeymasterThis is a big problem in InDesign. However, there is a find/change color feature in BlatnerTools (blatnertools.com)

David BlatnerKeymasterThese are great comments. Thank you!
Certainly, InMath's ability to use similar fonts in equations to the body text around the equations can be pretty nice. But MathMagic's ability to work with MathML and LaTex equations is pretty amazing.
David BlatnerKeymasterSounds like we were all correct.
You can use Page Control from dtptools.com to get multiple page sizes in CS3.
I would then just export each page or spread as a separate pdf and piece it together or just give them the pile of PDFs, well-numbered/named.
