Text exporter, results in a single rtf file of the whole document

Totally agree with Perry about not going back to Word, however if you do need to get the text back into a rtf file I can recommend Rorohiko's text exporter plug in, it does a great job all in one go.

NO quite right I think I had spent too long in Illustrator last week, although the smart guides in ID do show when I am mousing over an object.

Working on a small screen is pretty much an equpment/tool issue and perhaps this person needs to get a bigger monitor and/or change the resolution of the one they have.

Use an object style on the text frame, you need to include the para styles and use the next style feature in those para styles.

Sorry this is a bit brief but I have got to go …

You need to open the Gradient panel, it gives you complete control over the angle of your gradient.

May I suggest using object styles which will allow you to control these elements once you have made them.

Ok so now the coffee has kicked in. You are referring to paragraph rules, my bad.

Very true it seems to be uncontrollable and to acheive what you want, may need a workaround.

I shall watch this space, I know I haven't been very helpful.

It would only be fair to tell you how I guess.

Pages panel, fly-out menu “Move Pages” (you must make sure you have the target document open), in the drop down menu for “move to” pick your target doc. and away you go.

That stuff about making vectors into tiffs is a pointless exercise, if anything it will make your document bigger.

Vectors shouldn't add much size to your file at all, are they .ai files? To just assume that is making the file big make be the wrong assumption.

If the “green check marks” are simple shapes why not copy and paste the object/vector from Illustrator into Indesign.

Use the book feature. You don't need to combine the files into one at all. It would be a problem concerning styles, unless you are 100% sure you are totally consistant.

If you are unsure whether the pagination is correct, turn off auto page numbering before you add the documents to Book.

Book will let you know if the pagination is right. (It displays the page numbering)

Also, and this is a golden rule when it comes to print, talk to your printer. Let them know you are unsure about the pagination and perhaps send them the pdf files to check over. They can then tell you if you need to do any further work.

Another easy way to combine all sections if you have Acrobat is to do it in that, but your printer will most likely be fine with separate files.
