Well, if they were on the master page you would have to “release” it on the regular pages, and I don't think you could automatically roate them after that.

But, if you had set up an “object style” for the graphic boxes, then that is one way. But that would only work, I think, if all the graphic boxes changed.

Since you wouldn't know ahead of time which boxes would be changing (in this case it happened to be all of them, but next time it may not), I'm not sure.

Object styles for the graphic boxes is the first thing that popped into my head.

I've never heard of that problem with InDesign. I remember several years ago that Quark did that on someone in the shop. I think Quark used the Courier font for their marks and slug lines (i.e., job name and date), and the person in the shop had a corrupt Courier font.

Maybe something similar is happening? I'm just taking a stab in the dark.

I'd be interested in the English-version of this script as well. Thank you.

I have similar ones to hank so far as control M, control T for tables. I also use control F to place footnotes. Control L to make type all lowercase, and control U for uppercase. Mine are very basic.

For most of my font toggling I keep my default settings (i.e., Shift + Apple + I for italic; Shift + Apple B for bold, etc.).

And I keep a copy of my keyboard shortcuts in case something happens to my machine or if I have to work on another work station for some reason. I just copy 'em over.

hancilt. I've had that problem, but it's usually because the footnote won't fit on the page. Do you have your preferences set to show you “keep violations”? To me, it looks like there is no way that footnote will fit on that page, and ID can't do anything about it. I have “keep violations” checked in my preferences so that stuff is highlighted for me.

I deal with footnotes all the time and I really don't have any problems with how ID handles them. Sometimes they break wrong simply because they wont' fit on the page, and I either have to rebreak lines to lose a line or make lines to push eveything to the next page.

And are you saying that if you change your “keep together” settings to 3 for footnotes that ID is pulling back that widow/orphan (depending on what you call it)? I don't see how you can pull that back automatically unless you have your minimum space above footnotes set to zero.

Harbs–I just grabbed your script just in case we ever need it at work and will check it out. It sounds like it could come in handy.

Do you want to hear a good one??

We did a job and the designer was only using CS2. So we did the job in that and sent it back to her so she could add her art and stuff. But then the publishing house decided their designer should tweak things a bit. So their designer did it in CS4. Then it was sent back to us for corrections. We did that, and sent it back. But then another designer decided to tweak more and only had CS3. So we had to export as an inx file. That designer did their thing and off it went. Then the other publisher did another change in CS4 and sent it to the original designer for her last-minute tweaks, but like I said–she only has CS2. So they sent it back to us to export from CS4 to CS3 to CS2 and it was a disaster. Line breaks totally changed and it was a nightmare. Oh–did I mention that it was due at the printer that day???

I've seen similar things. We had a company who was re-purposing our PDFs and and they were getting things like that. I think it ended up being their workflow and that they had some older version of Acrobat or something.

But while in the same vein, I have witnessed a lot of RTF files (exported from ID) where the discretionary hyphens have turned into regular hyphens.
