ParticipantThanks for the reply, Peter. A table of contents — I like that. I think I understand the setup from your description, but I’ve sent you an e-mail message for the sample document.
One question I have: In your experience, at what point does having a lot of anchored objects in a document start to affect performance? I’ve thought anchored objects would be useful for a lot of things like this, but I’ve been leery of making the document too big with them.
May 5, 2023 at 7:58 am in reply to: Does anyone know of a standalone font viewer for Windows that shows all glyphs? #14390493ParticipantYou’re right about OTMaster Light’s also being a font editor. I have to admit that I like the Full-font preview in Type light a lot more than the glyph set window in OTMaster and don’t like that OTMaster displays a notice that has to be dismissed every time a font is opened.
I’m a little leery of using any font editor as a viewer because I don’t want to inadvertently alter a font file. But it’s beginning to look like the only font viewers that show a full glyph complement are in font editors and maybe a few more costly font managers.
May 5, 2023 at 7:35 am in reply to: Does anyone know of a standalone font viewer for Windows that shows all glyphs? #14390490ParticipantGinger, thanks for the response. I was hoping to find a viewer that shows the full glyph complement including OpenType alternates. But as you say, AMP Font Viewer is free, plus it shows fonts in their folders and other information the font’s version. I’ll have to look at it a little closer.
May 5, 2023 at 7:19 am in reply to: Does anyone know of a standalone font viewer for Windows that shows all glyphs? #14390489ParticipantThanks for the response, Petar. The full-font preview in Type light is exactly what I’ve been looking for. And the price is right (i.e., free).
Ideally I’d like to find a font viewer that has only the full-font preview function and not the glyph editing functions. But I’ll play around Type light some more.

April 18, 2022 at 11:55 am in reply to: Is the “GREP in InDesign” available from CreativePro the 3rd ed., v2? #14364433ParticipantThanks for the reply, David. I was actually wondering about the two versions of the 3rd edition of GREP in InDesign.
I have a copy that says “3rd Edition” and has a copyright date of 2018. The one available on Amazon.com says “3rd Edition, v2” and has a copyright date of 2019.
What I’m really wondering is if there’s enough difference between the two versions to make it worth buying the newer one and if it’s the newer version I’ll get if I buy it and download it from CreativePro.com.
March 8, 2022 at 10:47 am in reply to: HELP using Conditional text or Layers for study guide and answers #14360036ParticipantMaybe there are good reasons not to do what I’m going to suggest, but it might accomplish what you want, depending on how you’re printing the leader’s and study guides.
Use the nonprinting color trick in this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/fill-text-frame-with-a-non-printable-color/td-p/9049690
Create a spot color swatch of CMYK white, 0,0,0,0. Create another spot color swatch, say “Blue,” for your answer text. Alias “Blue” to the CMYK white spot color in the Ink Manager.
For the answers in the study guide, apply a character style with an underline set to regular black and the text color set to “Blue.”
With Overprint turned off, the answers should show with the “Blue” spot color. With Overprint turned on, they should disappear. The study guide should print with underlined blanks but not the “Blue” answer text. In order to print the leader’s guide with the answers, remove the “Blue” spot color’s alias to the CMYK white spot color, and print it.
That should work for printing on paper. But be aware that if you use this method to create a PDF of the study guide, the answers will actually be present, and they could be visible with some settings in some PDF viewers.
March 6, 2022 at 5:58 pm in reply to: Are there any command line switches for InDesign.exe in Windows? #14359813ParticipantThanks for the reply, David.
I was hoping there was something simple.
Since
“\path\InDesign.exe \path\Template.indt”
opens a template normally, I thought maybe something like
“\path\InDesign.exe \path\Template.indt \o”
would open it as an original. But I couldn’t find anything online about command line switches.
February 26, 2022 at 8:01 am in reply to: I’m looking for a serif font with well-designed segmented brackets #14359241ParticipantThanks for the response, Nick.
I guess “composable brackets” is the term I needed.
I had run across the STIX fonts website, but it wasn’t immediately obvious how to download the fonts. On your suggestion, I went back and made my way to the GitHub page and downloaded the math font to try. I also downloaded the variable text fonts, which look interesting.

November 15, 2020 at 11:03 am in reply to: InDesign 2021 installed in Windows 10 user folder instead of in programs folder #14332597ParticipantThanks for the reply, David. I guess I should looked in the beginning, but there’s a setting for the app install location. Sure enough, it was set to the user folder. I didn’t look for it because I didn’t expect to be able to change a setting like that. I’ll try changing it and then reinstalling.
