    That would work… why didn’t I think of that?

    Sometimes the simplest solution is the hardest to find hahah

    Thanks Eugene

    Oh I can do it in a normal Grep search and replace, I just want the feature to be incorporated inside the Paragraph style.

    Basically the GREP searches for white space+capital “I” and white space and replaces it with white space “I” non breaking space.

    The result is it will turn over any I at the end of a line over to the start of the next line

    Yeap…it's what I do.

    @David Blanter…It's not rare as you may think…Maybe in America when everything goes to India…But other parts of the world you'll find it pretty common

    I'm going to go out on a limb here as well…

    True Type fonts will work and almost always have worked… people didn't use them because of the RIPs inability to process them… these days they work… but people seem to be stuck in there ways…or still own the PS Library and don't want to pony up for the opentypes for no reason

    Images under 300dpi can be used… sure but in most cases people don't know where the job will be printed until the last minute so 300dpi will cover every instance. I know in my case I never know until the job is complete, and I enter imprint page details… it also depends on printed stock, which could change at the printer stage so you may never know, so why risk setting up images which are borderline at best… In this day and age file size is a Myth…

    So yes 300dpi is a must.

    95% of these myths are the result of the pre-press RIP either too old or converting files incorrectly or just plane falling over….

    I own a Typesetting business which do a lot of work with all the major and minor publishers around the country (Australia) we work in both Quark and InDesign… but over the last 12 months have noticed a dramatic increase in InDesign to a point of non existent Quark work coming in.
