MemberI’m glad that worked. I got busy and forgot to check back on this thread.
Adding more space would have been my suggestion. I’m glad you figured it out on your own :) :) :)
September 15, 2015 at 3:06 pm in reply to: When deleting pages other illustrations move a bit #78118MemberID sometimes does strange things when deleting an odd number of pages, but it shouldn’t in your case (as you deleted two pages).
Do you have layout adjustment enables (it’s under liquid layout)? If not–have that turned on.
So far as the multiple objects thing and the stacking changing–that is weird. That’s why I either use circles or group those things.
Hopefully someone will have an idea.
MemberGlad it worked. The “no break” was my first thought, but others beat me to the punch.
I use the no-break all the time. Since a lot of the books I work on go to eBooks, the folks in the eBooks department will really throw a fit if they see a soft return. I had one job (almost 600 page book), and used about a half-dozen soft returns in a notes section (URLs which I was sick of messing around with so far as no breaks, and discretion break here commands). That notes section was around 100 pages. They were ready to carry their pitchforks and torches and tar and feather me.
MemberI’m thinking that without using a tab on each line, you might be able to use a “indent here” on the first tabbed line and use soft returns on the rest of the lines.
Or–play around with the left margins. Use a positive for the left indent and a minus amount on the first line indent.
I’m taking it you have a word of phrase on the first line before the tab?
For example, if the tab is 2 picas from the margin, you could set the left indent as 2 picas, and the first line indent -2 picas.
Do they all vary?
Maybe you can post a screen shot (You’d have to host on something like photobucket, Dropbox, etc.).
September 15, 2015 at 2:53 pm in reply to: ID document displays fonts correctly but prints incorrectly. #78115MemberIs that font a postscript font or opentype?
If postscript, it’s possible the printer font is corrupt (postscript fonts come with screen fonts and printer fonts).
My first thought was missing printer fonts, but since User B was able to print, that rules that out.
What happens if you create a “Document fonts” folder and put the fonts in there on the local computer (bypassing Extensis), and put that in the folder where the ID document is?
Memberclick on the flyout menu on the “character” palette (it will be at the bottom).
I personally make a character style sheet for my no breaks. The no break will be on “general characters.” Just click the “no break” box.
September 6, 2015 at 12:45 pm in reply to: Table row height ignores cell inset value when text goes to 2 lines #77914Member^^To be honest–I think it’s an InDesign thing.
I’ve had tables I’ve worked on and the customer has added text to one of the cells and it goes to a second line. I end up getting the overflow symbol. And I have to go the cell and change to the exact measurement. For some reason the cell keeps the minimum but doesn’t make the cell bigger.
MemberActually–I don’t even think GREP would help as there’s a chance the text could end on a right-hand page.
Sorry–but I can’ think of a way to automate what you want.
MemberSo you’re looking for a way to have text end on the left, the right-hand facing page blank, start a new spread, left blank and right the text?
I don’t think there’s a way to automatically do that, except for using an insert page break before the next odd page text (or possibly two of them).
Maybe a GREP?
MemberFirst thing you want to do is make sure layout adjustment is checked. It’s under “layout” then “liquid layout,” then “layout adjustment.” Tick the box that says “Enable Layout Adjustment.” The default checkmarks underneath should be okay.
Then go to all your of your master pages and adjust your inside and outside margins accordingly. The text boxes and running heads should nudge over accordingly, and the text/column width will stay the same.
That’s one reason I always have a master master page. I base all the others on that and tweak accordingly. That way, I only need to change that one master when margins change.
September 2, 2015 at 3:20 pm in reply to: ID6 is applying the Hyperlink style to everything I import from Word #77844MemberI”m not sure why it got stuck on it. I had that happen a few times as well.
Usually clicking on “none” will work, but sometimes it just gets stuck.
I’m pretty sure it originally happens because the last thing you were probably doing was applying that character style or editing it. And it stays in effect until you click normal. It *should* go back to normal when importing text, but sometimes it doesn’t.
I’m glad that deleting it and recreating it worked.
September 2, 2015 at 10:08 am in reply to: ID6 is applying the Hyperlink style to everything I import from Word #77828MemberIt does sound like the character style is being applied.
Open your character style sheet palette and when you import the file, is the hyperlink character style checked/highlighted? If so, select “none.”
That’s the only reason I can think of that it’s all coming in with that style applied.
September 1, 2015 at 12:01 pm in reply to: ID6 is applying the Hyperlink style to everything I import from Word #77776MemberDo you have a character style for the hyperlink? If so, perhaps that has been selected and when you import your file, everything picks up that character style? If that’s the case, click on “none” and import.
We had an instance a year or so back when a client said we had prepared her file wrong. And that everything was coming in as Zapf Dingbats. She threw a fit. Turns out she had the Zapf Dingbats character style selected and when she imported the file–everything came in as Zapf.
MemberBonnie–suppose you add two pages after that bad section start? Then re-thread the text to it. Then delete the bad section start page and one of the new ones you added (that way you’ll be on a recto again)?
