@its_betty: You are correct to be skeptical of that claim. Fonts DO lose their hinting when converted to outlines, and will change when printed… on lower-resolution devices. That's the key point. James works for Sells Printing, where they have high-res platesetters, etc.. In that world, it doesn't matter so much. But on a laser printer, or even at 1000 dpi, you will likely notice the difference between hinted type and outlined type.

@Marcus: I'm going to have to disagree with you about the 300 dpi. See earlier discussions above.

Good ideas. But if you do need to convert a doc from A4 to Letter (or vice versa), turning on Layout Adjustment (in Layout menu) is the best way to do this. 

Thank you, Theun! I don't know if this would help, but I've always found this “intra-paragraph numbering” trick to be quite clever:

I don't think you can do this with grep. However, perhaps you could find some way to do it with grep plus this numberadjuster script. Hm… tricky…

I'm guessing you had some kind of extra plug-in installed, such as Page Control from DTPTools.com.

There should be a button at the top-left corner, in the black bar below the logo, that says Become a Member and then Log in. If it's missing, something may have gone wrong… perhaps Refresh/Reload the page? If that doesn't help, please do let us know. I haven't seen that problem before.

(That said, I wish it were easier to log in… it's kind of clunky. For example, if you're not logged in and you're reading a particular forum post and you want to reply, you have to go log in on one page, and then it drops you back at the top level of the forum (instead of the post you were reading. That always frustrates me. Someday we'll get the technology to do this cleaner.)

re: numbering. Check out this blog post on the topic: https://creativepro.com/multi-level-automatic-numbering-in-indesign.php

The quick version is that you will need at least two different styles (one for each 1.x, which restarts the numbering as part of the style definition.)

re: graphs. This is a perpetual problem. I don't know where you read that you can copy and paste graphs, but I hope it wasn't on this site. Copy and paste is not a good idea. Save as PDF/EPS and open in Illustrator for fixup.

Well… glad it worked out for you. What was your hunch that paid off?

In general, though, it sounds like your default formatting got changed. Any formatting applied (like text wrap turned on) when no objects are selected, becomes the new default formatting applied to future objects.
