MemberI have CC, so I can convert it to IDML which, I suppose can be opened again in cs5.
MemberI’m using Universal Type Server 3 from extensis. Not cheap but very good for managing fonts in the prepress. As it says “server based”. Fonts are in one place and an admin can manage the fonts easily.
September 18, 2013 at 8:18 am in reply to: grep style to move euro symbol from before the price to after the price #65366MemberIt can be done with a find and change in the GREP tab, like this
find field: (\d+,\d+) (€)
change field: $2 $1MemberIt’s called “control” or “tools”. Can be found under “window” (pc version for me)
MemberI would first change the double returns into a “dummy” char (one which isn’t used in the text).
Then, change all the returns with spaces.
Third, replace the “dummy” again with the double carriage returns.
This should do the trick more or less.MemberI don’t think it’s possible without some scripting. In CC you cannot tell where to store the package by default to some specific location.
MemberNo problem, mine is gertverrept[at]gmail[dot]com
I’m leaving in Europe, so mind the time difference. I’ll try to do it as soon as possible after work. The differences between CS6 and CC won’t be a problem I think, because we just need the text.MemberFurry, did you use some special white spaces? Flush spaces are giving trouble with export to rtf. I just checked and the white space in Word is much too big (it seems as if its a tab, but it isn’t). I’m working on Windows 7 64b, Indesign CC. If the text is the most ipmorting thing to end up with, I’d create a basic style with no extra’s, apply it to the text, overriding all char styles. Remove all special white spaces, but leave the real tabs (grep it if possible). You should end up with a “cleaner” file. Then give it a try again.
I don’t mind spending some time on it, if it’s possible to send me the text, I’ll give it a try at home (but opening in CC, so this will already make a difference).Member@furry. Very strange behaviour. I export daily indesign (CC) files to rtf. Never had that problem, but what I saw is that if you use the font Helvetica Lt STd (open type), the french letters (é, à, è and some others) are not converted correctly. We have a script that selects the text, applies Arial (basic font in Windows) to it, and then converts it to rtf. No problem with the chars anymore. In our case the text is the most important thing, not the layout, so changing the font doesn’t matter.
MemberFootnotes and Indesign, not a good marriage. I would try a shorten the frame on the left side, so the footnote shifts to the right. Adding white spaces before the note can do the trick too.
MemberI had the same problem with tables, the longer they become, the more “unstable” they are. Our problem came from the fact that lots of cells had text which had a style with ‘no hyphenation’ (several languages together, so difficult to set a dict). Merged cells from excel give problems too, they get unmerged when placed. Hidden cells, same problem, the appear in CC.
I don’t think Word is the solution, but Excel does a wonderful job. It takes time, but I must admit that it’s better than CC for tables.
Don’t forget that CC isn’t a “tables” program, it does a lot, but not all. It’s sometimes better to use a specific program to create something, make a pdf and import this file into Indesign. Changes are made in the original program, update the pdf and update the Indesign file.
Do you start the tables from scratch? Import from another application? No style or char style problems?MemberDifficult to say, but I suspect a font problem or a hyperlink which has been lost.
MemberIndesign and FrameMaker are very different. FM is more “structured”, that is you can really start FM and telling to use the “structured” version. You use can set up a structure and import xml-files to create a manual, a catalog …
ID can do it too, but lots of xml features aren’t that good implemented. Users of ID are more “creating” text, being more “free” in using fonts, styles, colors …
We use both, FM for the really structured texts, ID for the rest of the creative things.MemberCorrection, your point 10 stands too. No way to override. Sorry, the first time I had still some objects below the buttons in the same color. Wait and see what others say or what Adobe will produce as answer.
Member@Salieri: Strange, I’m on windows 7 and reproduced the problem, but I can override the buttons (point 10) without problems. As you pointed out in step 7, they leap out of place. In fact, every time I change the type of button on master A, the problem occurs.
