    Besides what Jongware said, there's also the issue of the terms of service/license agreement with the font manufacturer.

    I have used FontXChange to convert fonts from one format to another, but only when InDesign or Suitcase Fusion for one reason or another had a problem with the original format. Other than that, I don't convert any of my fonts (mainly for the reasons David listed).

    And as Jongware has pointed out, there are more negatives than positives for converting all of your fonts. You won't gain anything.

    What operating system (i.e., Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard)? What version of Photoshop and Indesign? Do you have the latest print drivers for your HP?

    By “normal” you mean roman type, right? Are you importing a word file? Does it come in roman when you first flow it in, and then changes to italic when you select the paragraph style?

    If you were flowing in a file and everything came in italic, I'd probably guess that you had a italic character style sheet activated when you flowed in the type. But am not sure about just clicking in the paragraph and having it turn to italic when selecting the proper style sheet.

    Can you give any more info?

    I was just getting ready to email you to check out the file. So what caused the problem?

    SueKnopf–that was hilarious about the clients not wanting to pay for those blank pages. Priceless! :D :D :D :D

    What I've been noticing more and more is that many freelance designers (book publishing) don't seem to keep current with their software. And in all honesty, some publishing houses don't, either. I know of one client who only wants the jobs done in Quark 6 or CS2.

    And in the past few years, I've had to do jobs where the designer *needed* the files back to *tweak* them. And because of that they had to be in the old software. One job was in Quark 3 and the other was in InDesign 2.0.

    One would think that any decent designer would be within a version of the latest software, not 10 years behind.

    Thankfully, my company keeps some older Macs around with OS9 and the older software around for such things.

    The company I work for keeps current (we have to), and I keep current at home for when I freelance (or do OT at home). Hell, I have Quark 8 and I don't use it. But I got it because I have to keep current.

    I've seen a lot of times where it will overset because a word is too long and hyphenation is turned off, particularly in tables. I've found that selecting all and then allowing hyphenation will then allow to the overset to go away and I can find the problem word.

    Jongware–great post about left-hand blanks. For me it's a normal thing, and we don't put any type on there that says “blank” or “intentionally left blank.”

    Okay, I figured it out. I took off the dotted border that was around the entire table. Instead I put the dotted border on the outside of the first cell and on the outside of the second.

    Here's what it looks like (dotted rule will be white though), and I still need to tweak the size of the dotted border for roundness.
