anyone can solve my problems?

Hi, sorry if this is repeated somewhere

I'm quite new to indesign 5 (increased from quark) and I find those really annoying little problems, wondering if someone else has them and how to fix them, maybe a pref miss me:

1 sometimes that my tools go back to the previous example I used. If I Zoom by using the keyboard shortcut, then go to the selection tool, I get a helping hand!

2 not as boring but sometimes if I drag the document window to make it larger or smaller its erratic, resizes itself!

Its a new copy of cs5 premium and I'm on a new mac pro

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

macinbytes, I love the scalability of all secondary windows in CS4. Any other program Mac OS is worth a darn could take a cue from her.

Example: what happens if a window is exactly where I want to on the top, right and bottom, but I need/want more screen space taken left... in other programs, I reposition the entire window and then try to drag the bottom right to find the 'sweet spot' for the other three sides. PITA in my opinion, when one side is change of position... ^_^

@ sarrob, the suspension of tools ONLY occurs when you use specific keys to temporarily call features, such as zoom. To manually switch to the Zoom tool, use the Z hotkey (as long as you're not inside a text image/text box). This will change the Zoom tool instead to temporarily activate the zoom tool (command-space) or the hand (Option-space) tool, which works independently within a block of text.

The feature which is currently a distraction for you can end up being a time saver because you don't need to constantly back and forth to the Toolbox in order to enter a different tool first, zoom into and out of a region, then back to catch an editing tool.

Roll your mouse over the different tools in the box tool to see their shortcuts.

BTW: I'm using CS4 on a Mac (OSX 10.6) and a Windows machine (Vista x 64)
