MemberGlad to help, Andy :)

MemberI can’t help with your problem, but so far as posting screenshots, you’d have to host it somewhere else (drop box, 4Share, etc.) and provide the link to it. You can’t imbed screenshots here.

Click on the formatting on the search/replace box. The format button looks a magnifying glass over a “T.” Choose your original font + roman. In the replace section, click on the format button, and choose your italic font.
Or am I misunderstanding?
MemberI do use a character style that is “no break.”
I think the issue is mainly that sometimes one has to do too much tweaking to avoid breaking a line manually. Sometimes it’s easier (like in that job I did) to simply break it manually then to spend 5 minutes or so on one stupid note entry. Especially when there are thousands of entries and a deadline is looming.
And it’s more of an issue with some folks (like the person who complained) that can’t understand this.
MemberI’ve tried a similar thing, but usually they want us to avoid breaking in the middle of a word. They’d prefer to bring down the period (dot), hyphen, equal signs, etc., to start the turnover line.
MemberIn most cases, additional master pages are not needed. If one uses InDesign’s running head (variables) feature, you can do an entire book with one or two master pages.
The variable can be based on a paragraph style or character. I personally prefer character styles, as you can then assign it to various paragraph styles (such as Chapter Title, Chapter Title_2 Line, etc.)
Normally I have master pages for my chapter openers, part openers, body text, and one for frontmatter and backmatter.
Thanks for chiming in, guz :)
MemberTom–I don’t think it’s so much of a flaw as it’s more of a thing of how URLs have to be broken. It’s the exact opposite of how regular text hyphenates.
I do know that while CC and CC2014 is okay, for my purposes, CS6 is fine. But we need to keep upgraded because of the clients.
I’m also not crazy about the subscription thing, but I think it evens out in the long-run. And, unfortunately, this is how it’s going to be from now on. :(
Have a good weekend.
DwayneMemberActually–page definition and running heads/running feet is a great feature of InDesign. You just aren’t familiar enough with it.
I don’t have any links offhand, but maybe someone else can chime in with some. But what you want to read up on is the running head features in InDesign.
I’ve never used Ventura as I’ve been using a Mac for the last 25 years, but I’ve worked with Quark XPRess and InDesign.
MemberHey Eugene–we had said a long time ago we’d supply a new file that fixes things like that when the book is ready for eBook. We explained that we would do the print version of the book and then when it was off to the printers, we’d run a script to make the print book eBook ready. We never heard back.
I guess folks just have to complain about the tiniest things.
MemberI’ve found that when you click on the output and then click in the middle of the next text frame it works okay. If you are trying to click in the next text frame’s corner, it will usually create a new text frame. Just click on the output and click right smack in the middle of the next text frame.
MemberI’m one of those folks who uses Suitcase. My font folders on my system are pretty bare, even my user library font folders. I just keep the bare minimum ones needed.
MemberGeorgina
I don’t think there should be issues going from 32 bit to 64. And the “Fonts” folder is the same in CS3 and CS5. Does your say “fonts” or “Fonts”? I’m not sure if that folder is case-sensitive.
I believe the “Document fonts” folder has to be in the same location as your InDesign documents. Where I work, each job has a “pages” folder, and the “Document fonts” folder is within that as well as the InDesign files.
Relinking the fonts shouldn’t cause any leading or spacing issues, though. However, there can be some reflow when opening an InDesign file in a different version.
MemberThanks, Tom :)
Your idea works as well. The only problem I see is if there are other blanks in the book (which happens a lot in the front matter).
MemberWow–CS3 files. It’s been a long time since I’ve used that. Is your font folder called “Document fonts”? Note it has to be exactly typed as that (minus the quotes)?
Also–Are the CS5 files being opened on a different computer (or did you fix the crashed one)? Maybe the other computer has system fonts conflicting with the Document fonts folder?
