• How to get the file name of the current active document in InDesign CS4?

  Hello

  If I open a document in the file-> open, I can get the file name of the document using IOpenedFileInfo-> GetOpenedFilePath().

  But, if I create a new document and run the file-> save as, GetOpenedFilePath is invalid back reference IdFichier.

  What is the right way to get the file name of the active document?

  Thank you

  VSP

  You can try this:

  IDatabse * db =: GetDatabase (theDoc);

  IdFichier * SYSIXCOL = db-> GetSysFile();

  PMString docName is SYSIXCOL-> GetFileName();.

  Good luck

• InDesign CS4 crashes when you place the Word document

  Hello

  I'm having a real problem by placing a Word document in InDesign CS4. It crashes everytime! I found that if I turn off the 'import inline graphics' it correctly places the document. but enabling this option blocks InDesign.

  I tried to save in rich TEXT format and even do a simple copy - paste, but the result is the same: InDesign crashes.

  If you have an idea please let me know!

  Thank you

• What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4?

  I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have.doc format.

  What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4?

  David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing (Ctrl + D).

  How to paste RTF or text Document?

  I want to do a book layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with the text and the right - with graphics.

  So, if I understand correctly place the text on each page I create for example 70 Word documents and place each element on 70 pages left?

  He loks like wasting time. I have supplements another way to make such provision?  What kind?

  It is best to place any text.

  You can have all your text in a single file and debit allows you to add text, images and pages as necessary block (hold down the SHIFT key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it is somewhat atypical for the thread on one side of the spread in the perspective of automatic flow, so you don't have to set up properly.

  It is a case where a block of text that you type will work to your advantage. On your master page, add a text block to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not donned one to the right - for another project you can actually two threads of independent text). Hold the cursor of the load on a frame on the left side of a page document and auto-flux. ID will add new spreads as needed, but only to put the text on the left side.

• InDesign CS4: Multiple indexes?

  Is it possible to create multiple indexes for a single document in InDesign CS4? For example, imagine I have a book on animals, and I want to have an index to common names (in English) of the species and for the latin name of the species. Or maybe I want to have an index of authors, followed by an index of keywords to a book which is a collection of summaries of a conference.

  You can create an index, but there is a way around this. For you the names English and Latin, prefix, for example, all English names with 'E' and the Latin names with 'L_ '. The index that you generate will have two sections, one with the headings starting with E_, the other with words beginning with L_. Delete these E_ and L_ and you have your two index.

• Cannot place a Word specific 2010 docx in InDesign CS4

  I'm trying to use the place command to align the specific text of a docx Word 2010 with InDesign CS4.

  I managed in several Word 2010 (extension docx) documents to InDesign CS4 documents using the place command.

  I have a specific document of 30 pages (which is not loarger others who succeeded) and when I use the command set with this file, nothing happens (and no text gets load on the slider for placement.)

  I tried to re - save the word, same doc pasted its contents into a new Word document and still not get the command room to work.

  There is nothing particularly unique about the file - is not any weird embedded content, just a 30 page text writtin in word document.

  Any ideas what could go wrong or how to fix it?

  I tried to restart Word and InDesign without change (and the rest of my word files can be placed without problems, so I guess it's something specific to this file.

  NOTE - re-registration in the RTF format allows the place command work but leaves a lot of empty boxes/squares (not sure whether tabs or spaces empty or that really?)

  Can work around this problem for now, but I would like to know how to get the command to place working with decent-sized Word documents (docx for word 2010 if it matters).

  Thanks for any help.

  It seems that there is something in the Word doc that InDesign finds offensive.  Especially if other docx import very well. Is the formatting you want to keep?  If not, I would try to save as text only to get rid of all the formatting. Or if it's a faulty stylesheet, or manual setting, try to clear the formatting palette styles.  Could be that the docx is corrupt?  Have you tried "Save as...". "and save it as an earlier version with the .doc extension?

  Good luck!

• PageMaker 7 to Indesign CS4

  My employer is looking to upgrade from Pagemaker 7 in Indesign CS4 for our publication needs. I have Indesign CS2 at home, so it certainly seems that Indesign will make things easier. However, the main publication that we will use in Indesign strongly relied on the "Paste special" function in Pagemaker, and I don't know what the equivalent of this function is in Indesign. (There may be this feature in CS4 but I know that's not in CS2) If there is not a similar feature in CS4, what function can I use to paste an Excel file on a page where, edited in Excel, Indesign page would also be updated. Who is?

  In InDesign, you will place the Excel worksheet. If you want to update automatically, you must set your preferences for a link to the documents text and spreadsheet, which unfortuanely is a global setting for the document. Update deletes all local editing you have done in ID (if you can select the ones you don't want to update and to separate them from the links Panel), so it helps if you've done the formatting in Excel and table styles help a little, too.

• InDesign CS4 do not place a word document

  Hello

  I just had to InDesign CS4 installed on my computer at work. The installation went perfectly, and I was able to open InDesign files with no problems at all. But when I tried to put a word document in one of these formats:

  1. 2010 (.doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt)
  2. same formats of 2007

  He gave me the following error message:

  either the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application

  I went into the system to see if all this relates to this specific word file is open - nothing. I made sure there is no open files office.

  If this problem is already solved, please excuse the duplication and if possible I would like to have a link to the thread.

  Thanks for your help.

  In general this error appears when the file is opened. Perhaps the temporary Word file has not deleted properly when closing.

• Opening PageMaker 7.0 documents in InDesign CS2

  I want to open PageMaker 7.0 documents in InDesign CS2. InDesign gives an error message "the Pagemaker document is damaged and cannot be recovered" but the document open perfectly well in Pagemaker.

  Any suggestions?

  CS2 and files will never open previous PM whereupon it was later than XP SP2. In addition, CS2 is not supported on Windows 7 for all other questions, that you have can be connected as well to that.

• Import of PageMaker 7.0 to InDesign CS4 Styles

  I'm trying to switch to use PageMaker 7.0 for InDesign CS4 and so far everything is going pretty well, but I was curious to know if there is anyway that I can import all my PageMaker paragraph styles in InDesign. It would be great if I can, because I really don't want to have to recreate them.

  
  Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Mike!

  Take a PM file that contains them all, then open it in InDesign.

  Save as INDD and then use it to load the styles you want.

  But... I will warn you that ID much better master typography so I would certainly dive and refine these styles. And don't forget dialing, nested styles, grep styles and styles of line and live ammunition.

• InDesign CS4 6.0.4 (Mac) of serious editing problems

  InDesign CS4 crashes intermittently when I change the text and tables. He particularly dislikes removal and cut and paste. Also, it does not replace and find. He works in a few stories, but not in others. Sometimes, it crashes in a minute or two. I had at least 20 error reports sent to Apple and Adobe. Yesterday, I missed the deadline for a large document because of this problem. (Thought it was an import Word or CS4 problem copy/past, but today crashed on a cut and paste a native table.)

  Have you tried:

  1. different documents

  2. another mac (recently purchased and had copied all things more since my MacBookPro using the Migration Wizard - and whether he will because it does not work with my 2yo 30 inch display)

  3. power FontAgent Pro off and moved fonts to the font of the user library

  4. uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign CS4. The installation report said there were errors in the installation (just numbers so I don't know what are the mistakes.) Then following said there was a corrupt police, but not indicated in the original report).

  5 had Finangler of fonts to remove all font caches.

  I have another document to do today and I stepped back to CS3. So far no problem. Using the same fonts so there is no corruption of police...

  Anyone know what could be the problem? Even better: the solution?

  Thanks for any help.

• transition from PageMaker in InDesign CS4

  This weekend I will be improved in PageMaker 7.0 to InDesign CS4. I use PageMaker (and upgrades) since 1986. To how hard or different can I expect InDesign to be? Any suggestions on learning AIDS (books, online videos, etc.) that can make the transition easier? Brochures, flyers, ads, etc., most of my jobs are.

  PageMaker will be deleted from my hard drive. My files PageMaker will open with InDesign CS4?

  InDesign can open files: 6, 6.5 and 7, but he won't do it flawlessly.

  Download a copy of InDesign CS4 Visual Sandee Cohen of Quick Start Guide and a subscription to Lynda.com. This forum is also a great place to visit.

  You make the right choice.

• InDesign CS4 - basic features

  I'm new to Indesign. It's about Indesign CS4 version 6.0.6

  I restarted my computer (Windows 7 Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601). I started to Indesign. I created a new document using the predefined default settings.

  In these circumstances, I find the following things: in the tools Panel, only the selection tool is available. There is no answer to a click on the icon for any other tool. In the pages Panel, there is no response to a click on the 'Create new page' icon at the bottom of the Panel, but I can add a new page by choosing "Insert Pages," which is the best choice for the menu for this Panel. However, once I have more than one page, I can't select a page by clicking the page icon in this Panel. If I open Windows Notepad, type some text and copy it, then I can ' Edition > paste "use in Indesign to create a block of text. I read a relevant text in the first 5 chapters of the indesign_cs4_help.pdf and can't find any preparatory action I should take in order to use the text on a new document tool. What I'm missing here? Is there a way that I could hire accidentally who survive a reboot?

• How to set up default InDesign CS5 in the system with InDesign CS4 has the default value?

  How to set the application default .indd InDesign CS5 when you installed CS5 and InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS4 is the current default (InDesign CS4 has been installed after the installation of CS5)

  Thanks, but I already tried at first, but is not effective.

  I think that its because of this reason:
  The two - InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS5 have their application/program/exe named "indesign.exe".

  Installation of either InDesign CS4 or InDesign CS5, sets a default for the 'indesign.exe' Windows path. In this case, since InDesign CS4 was installed later (after InDesign CS5 was already installed), the "indesign.exe" which has been staged "Indesign.exe" of InDesign CS5 has been replaced by "Indesign.exe" of InDesign CS4.

  But after long google and searching through regedit, I have the solution:

  1. Search for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command in regedit
  2. Change the value of the attribute (default) for "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe" '%1' / / including the quotes

• Use of the spell checker crashes InDesign CS4

  Hello

  Have installed InDesign CS4 and updated to 6.0.3

  But whenever I try to check the spelling in any document or access the dictionary in file > Prefs, InDesign crashes.

  Have done all the usual checks, repair disk permissions, set cell former InDesign Prefs file, then recreated fresh file, not identified any conflict in the Console, run as an Application only on Mac InDesign. I have no third-party plug-in in the plug in folder, set up the default printer in the Print Center, logged on as another user who has administrator privileges, troubleshooted all my fonts, defragged the hard drive and checked all hardware.

  Still InDesign crashes when you try to access the dictionary in file > Prefs, or simply to check spelling Edit > check spelling in all - new or previously created document.

  In fact the first time check I'm using spelling (Edit > check spelling) in a document, the spelling will appear, but with a US instead of a British spellcheck, I can't change that in file > because InDesign Prefs, it blocks.

  Then if I try to check spelling Edition > check spelling a second wheel rotation, the time appears and bang - crash repeatedly.

  InDesign CS4 6.0.3 Mac OS 10.5.7 running on a Mac Pro 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon with 2 GB of RAM, ATI Radeon HD 2600XT.

  The CS3 clean script would be a mistake, I think. There is a version of CS4, but which would remove the other CS4 applications as well.

  Being a Windows user, I'm not well versed in all potential problems in OS X, but this kind of accident is sometimes related to fonts. You have any kind of font utility, you can run to check for damaged fonts? You use a font manager?

  What about the other third-party plugins? You must disable ALL the non Adobe plugins and test again. Alternatively, you can rename the folder to SING, even if problems that have generally crash at startup, I think.

  Have you tried to create a new account clean and stable in this? What permission repair, Disk Warrior and other typical functions of Mac maintenance?
