MemberCan you be more specific? I’m not sure what you are asking.

MemberLooks like a font issue causing it. Not sure how to fix it.

MemberI’m thinking the latter, unfortunately.
(i.e., copy and paste into separate text boxes).January 17, 2018 at 5:18 pm in reply to: Bullet list to inherit 'external' Character Style colour #101060Dwayne Harris
MemberConcur with what Graham said. I tried and the only way for that bullet to become white is if you make the text white without using a character style. If you use a character style it won’t work.
As Graham said–I think you need to create a separate paragraph style.

MemberRandy: Most fonts don’t have a glyph for the SM symbol. And there is no keyboard shortcut.

MemberJennifer–wow–that Mac Plus is a relic. Very cool to still have.
Did you try to open it with the fonts turned on (i.e., Suitcase or something)? If so–try to open without fonts turned on.
Dwayne Harris
MemberGood luck, Jennifer. If you change your mind, I can always try to open it.
I’m curious why InDesign couldn’t open it. Did you get an error message saying it was the wrong file type or something like it was corrupt?
Merry Christmas.

MemberNow that I think of it, InDesign should be able to convert Quark to InDesign, though not the greatest.
Just make sure that if it’s pre-Quark 6 or so, file name has a .qxd extension. If later versions of Quark it’s .qxp.
InDesign should be able to open it.

Thanks

MemberGlad I saw this thread as I was about to post something similar. I hope I don’t derail this thread, but it’s about end notes.
In my case, they are un-numbered end notes. That is, there is no note number reference in text. It’s an actual phrase, then the notes section has the page number. We call it “trailing phrase notes.”
How in the heck do I do that?
Note: We import tagged text files via xTags.
Additionally–we received a file from a publisher (that they originally worked on) and it seems they use the cross-reference feature. Which is fine and dandy. The page numbers change when text reflows, usually. But there are several cases where the cross reference marker was at the end of the paragraph and NOT right at the phrase, so the phrase is on page 96, but the paragraph return is on page 97. End notes shows as page 97 (which is wrong).
Can I cut and paste the marker to the correct spot or what do I need to do to make it auto number as the marker is in the wrong place?
Sorry for derailing Matt

MemberI’m not sure what it could be. I just launched 2018 and with no document open, changed the settings, and the New Document dialogue box came up fine.

MemberLooks like CS5 Photoshop works okay in High Sierra. Not sure about Acrobat. Folks have had success with CS5 Indesign, and other’s haven’t. I don’t think there’s a magic answer.
Dwayne Harris
MemberWell, it hasn’t been supported since OS 10.6. If you have a SSD for a hard drive, the AFPS formatting may make it not work.
You can try to use it, but there could be problems. I haven’t used CS5 in years and years.
The same goes for the other CS5 applications.
Use at your own risk.

MemberI’ve had that problem, although it didn’t show it in the palette. Instead it was in the actual pages. I’d scroll for 20 seconds or more to get to my next spread. And it sometimes happened for no reason at all. Sometimes when dragging an object from my library and InDesign decided to drop it between the spread, and sometimes, all I was doing was scrolling down.
My only work around was to add a spread BEFORE the offending spread, and relink. And then delete the spread with the huge gap afterwards.
