MemberYou can post a screenshot, but you have to have it stored someplace (like 4shared or something like that).
MemberNormally, it should. Not unless the body text was modified in some way.
To “force” InDesign to apply a style, click in the text you want to change, then hold down the option key and click the paragraphs style you want it to be. Note that doing it this way will remove any local formatting in that text.
That’s if you’re on a Mac. I guess on a PC you would hold down the alt key?
Additional note–make sure that the crosshead doesn’t have a character style sheet applied to the entire thing. If it does, the character style will take precedence.

EDIT: Misunderstood the original post. I thought OP meant next to text bottom not sides.
March 25, 2016 at 1:39 pm in reply to: Footnote to be placed next to the text not at the bottom #83407MemberDo you mean for all pages, or just the last page of the chapter?
If the former, I think it’s always going to go at the bottom of the page. If the latter, there is an option in the footnote options (layout) to put end of story footnotes at the bottom of the page or not to.
March 24, 2016 at 4:31 am in reply to: How to locally override align to grid in paragraph style #83356MemberGo your paragraph palette (not the paragraph style sheet palette but the paragraph palette). Make sure you “show options”
Ignore the arrow and drop down menu.
Instead look at the lower right hand side. You will see two little boxes with lines in them. If you hover over them, you will see the first one says “do not align to baseline grid.” The far right is to align to baseline grid. Click the one that says “do not align.”
MemberThis is just a shot in the dark, as I’m not familiar with Word Press and don’t work on a PC.
But—since when copying from InDesign into Word, the italics and bold used are the actual italic and bold fonts themselves. I wonder what would happen if you search and replace on those in Word. Instead of using the true italic and bold fonts, replace them with regular and replace with the fake (i.e., palette) italic and bold.
It may be a font issue.
I’m just throwing it out there.
MemberCS2? Wow.
I don’t have a version that old, but I know in later versions, one can go to the Guides and Pasteboard preferences and change it there. I think the default is 36 picas wide and 6 picas deep.You can make that space bigger or smaller there. I honestly don’t know if that preference is in CS2, but I’d try there.
MemberThat is odd, Andy. The only way it would anchor would be in you placed it before a paragraph return or between characters in text.
So far as the large text wrap, InDesign is picking that up from a previous picture box. Look at your object styles palette. I’m guessing when you place the art, the normal art box in the palette has an x next to it (which means it’s been modified).
You will have clear that by option + clicking the normal picture box to set it back to normal, and then place it. Then it should come in fine, and the rest will as well.
I remember a while back everytime I drew a text box it was coming out double-column. InDesign had remembered it from a previous box somewhere in the job. So I had to option click the normal text box.
That reminds me of the time when every time I was placing text it was coming all coming in as Zapf Dinbat. Seems the last person who had used it use that character style and everytime I imported a file that character style was applied. So I had to click “none” and them import and it was fine after that.
I have no idea about why it’s coming in anchored except those two reasons I gave.
Good luck.

MemberTook the survey. Hope it helps.
Good questions ThompsonText.
Member^^You can’t even create a sentence properly and you’re selling thesis papers?
MemberGlad I was able to help, Caspian :)
MemberInDesign only allows one person at a time to open or work on a document.
It sounds like you need to take a look at InCopy.
MemberWell, there may be an easier answer, but this what I would do:
1) The main head (WAIKATO) I’d set up to keep with next 2 lines
2) The subhead (Raglan Sunset Motel) style sheet would also be keep with next 2 lines.
3) The body text (i.e., “Raglan Sunset Motel is 100 meters…” I would have it set up to keep all lines together. By keeping all lines together, the paragraph won’t break across columns.
By doing it that way, the subheads will be forced to jump to the next column.
Another thing you can do is for your address, phone, and email stylesheets is to have them keep with the previous lines.
I’m under the impression that you want to keep the entire blocks together and not necessarily have even columns.
MemberCan’t you export as a Word file and then copy and paste the Word file or import the Word file?
MemberIf you want to delete the discretionary hyphens, then leave the change field blank. You don’t need to replace them with anything.
They will be deleted and replaced with nothing.
