Excel/word graphic in indesign nightmare

Hello

I'm having a hell of a time trying to import excel/word(embedded excel with anotations) graphics in indesign (like the barregraphes, pie charts, etc.).

They get pasted as an image (when the original is a vector of the part, the image of the game, text part) always with random sizes when I resize to fit the graph and text page looks terrible due to what looks like a very crude linear scale (have not found another option to use a good lanczos resize/resample) so graphics end up really looking like shit , and your time is extremelly

so, how people do what?, make might stick you in something in between that preserves metadata appropriate text/graph?, I mean, that technical Books are people (or excel manual perhaps) in indesign how do get them?

Use a PDF file.

Use the high quality display, that's what it looks like to the code.

  • Need to move book in Word 07 in InDesign 4

    I am quite at a loss here. Has written a book in Word 07, using fonts, I worked to find to express what I wanted to and put graphics in Word documents and text wrapped around those. Therefore, as I have tried to import anything, I'm constantly interrupted by fonts missing problem (I copied word folder of fonts in InDesign, always stayed problem fonts folder), I said yes to the replacement of similar fonts, I said okay, yet pages appear with the missing text. In addition, it seems now that I'll have to remove the images of the documents Word and everything just import the Word text in InDesign and then place the graphic? I have about 200 pages into Word. I don't know how to start and organize. I start a document pg 200, import as many gaps as I can, then moves to a panel of book? I'm afraid so if I sync at the end it will be unformat all previous work that. The goal is to have the book online on a website (I've not yet started) where people can peruse the pages (such as the spread of left and right) and decide to buy and download, but also want it's interactive with music, etc and finally to be able to perform as well to mobile devices. Help!  I have looked everywhere Lynda.com, Adobe TV, with support yesterday with Adobe (India) and took a few Adobe course extremely condensed - all that was far too much unnecessary information to start practically. Can anyone help?   Thank you!

    Sorry Peter, I guess I should have checked "Right answer" to your. Thanks for all the time you put into this response.

    No problem on the creditworthiness of the answer. You are welcome. I'm writing a book on InDesign for FrameMaker users. Many of my suggestions come from work and information collection, I do for this project. In turn, I owe a lot to the contributors on this and other forums and lists, and I try to send what I can.

    I don't know why I forgot to mention the site this independent publishers: http://www.thebookdesigner.comand also suggest a Google search for self-publishing. Although the main theme of the edition of today ( http://www.thebookdesigner.com/2010/05/belief/) may not apply directly for your needs, there is a terrible picture, that nobody should miss. I just ran across thebookdesigner.com site recently in a hike, I think, a post on the list of the techwriters to, Technical Communication community has. Empowerment of technical writers since 1993. Both of these sites and their lists are probably great resources for some of the things you'll do with your project.

  • Reading of MS Word 2007 in InDesign

    Hello

    Is it possible to convert a MS Word application InDesign file intoAdobe?

    Kind regards

    Jean

    Altogether.

    When you import the word document, you can preserve the formatting Word, throw everything or previously defined mapping Word styles to InDesign styles. Select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box.

    Normal professional workflow (in the real world) is that the author uses Word to write the manuscript. Author knows generally little or nothing of typesettinga nd good use of styles, then everything is made under conditions normal (usually in Times or Times New Roman) with many local formatting.

    Typographer receives the manuscript and the place in the code. Because it is presumed that the formatting is what the author intends, at least for starters, styles Word and formatting are preserved during the import. Then it gets cleaned up.

    Jongware and some others, have clever scripts (he'll probably post a link to it for you) that run a series of find/replace operations that get things like the words in italics or "BOLD", then their assign a style so the formatting can be retained when other changes, such as changing the police to something a little more enjoyable for your book Remove empty paragraphs and extra spaces that should be handled by the spacing of paragraphs and a bunch of other small tasks of cleaning, and enough little time, you can take a document Word completely informal and put it in a beautifully structured InDesign document where all the text with this style through it all redefine a style fixes.

  • Transparent background in photoshop darkens graphics in indesign

    I cropped on the bottom of an image in Photohop (CS3) and then placed the image in an ad I design in Indesign.  Although the background is transparent, supposedly, it makes my black graphics in Indesign a shade darker... Anyone know what I am doing wrong?  I noticed this after I printed the Indesin document in PDF format... So I don't know if I do something wrong in Photoshop, Indesign, or when printing to PDF.

    You place a PS RGB document in Indesign, but your fusion of Indesign transparency space is CMYK. If you replace that working RGB (assuming that your color on settings are synched together on all applications), you should see a better overview. See http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/creativesuite/articles/cs3ip_transp_25.html for more details.

  • How to save data to excel, word, etc.

    I want to use the entry in the spreadsheet, but the format of the saved data cannot be opened directly in excel or word. Can I still use write on the worksheet or that I have to use other buttons. In fact, I don't know how to choose the format of the recorded data. Thanks for responding.

    ADrexelDragon wrote:

    The format of the Vi called write in spreadsheet records directly in a xls file.

    Not exactly. It stores data in an ASCII ' Tab/return' file (assuming that you do not change the separator). Means that the file can be opened by any text editor. Including Word and Excel.

    If you want to open the file directly with Excel (or Word) with a simple double click, then simply add .xls (or .doc) as the file name extension.

    If you use the .txt extension, there are chances that your case will be opened by Notepad.

    Nothing complicated!

  • Word graphic value Font.vi how can you Format axis numbers?

    Hello

    I need assistance with formatting of the AXIS on a chart in Word using Labview.  In my situation, I have reading data like this:

    0,0033

    0.0003

    0,0203

    Etc...

    I need FOUR decimal places to display correctly the numbers.

    When I run through Labview and Word... All I get is ZEROS through my axis.

    If I double click on the AXIS (in Word) and go to the properties of the "Number" tab and CHANGE 'General' to 'NUMBER' and define the "third DECIMAL' to '4 '.

    The graph looks EXACTLY as I want it to look:

    After the manual settings are applied:

    After you apply the Word AXIS settings manually is formatted perfect!  I have 4 decimal places correct points for my data.

    NOW, the Question...

    How to use the "Set Word chart Font.vi" for formatting the axis with four decimals?

    I tried the combination of countless, and I can't seem to make it work.  I even called Tech OR supported and they have a little "shrugged" their shoulders and referred me to a file 'help '.

    I may have this wrong approach, but my goal is to use a 'model Word' and "To generate a report of Doc Word" without going through the user for formatting the chart MANUALLY.

    Here's a sample of what, in my view, have to work... but I can't seem to find a combination of work.

    Looking for suggestions!  Let me know what you think and I'll give it a try!

    Thank you very much!

    Doug

    I thought about it!

    The help file "Word Set Graph Font.vi ' is not too useful.  But I found the combination that works!

    Here is the example code that worked:

    What is difficult about the file "help":

    "(general) number format.  For me, I thought he was referring to categories of Word... THAT IS... General, number, currency, etc.

    "(general) number format" really means "Mask number format".  I replaced that with the type of mask, I tried '0.0000'

    'type (category) axis' still once, confuse another title.  The names of properties of word 'general, number, currency... etc.' as a 'category '.

    I tried all the combinations (3) using a 'constant'... but the use of these has caused the problem!  I REMOVED the entry for the vi!

    "index graph (-1)" once again the help file is missing explanation.  But it gives a little trick.

    This refers to the order of the graphic objects in your Word document.  In my model, I got the following:

    0 = header graphic

    1 = histogram one.

    2 = two histogram.

    I changed the graphic index to 2.

    I literally worked on this problem for days!  No sooner, I'll post my problems, I thought about it.

  • Impossible to change fonts not supported in the graphic in InDesign

    Help Help Help?  I'm almost my deadline and my Epub keeps getting rejected by printers because the fonts are not included.  I went and changed some of the fonts receives errors, while they are now open type/True type fonts... and are very good.  However, I still have 13 errors appear, indicating that my graphic fonts are not compatible.  I have not all fonts in my graphics and can't change that. The button is grey when I try, so he won't let me.  I need help, because I was not able to contact Adobe, and my deadline is drawing near.  Thank you very much.

    There must be direct type in graphics; InDesign has just this error.

    .. I am unable to change that. The button is grey when I try, so he won't let me.

    Right.  To change the fonts in the graphics, you can do so via the dialog box search a font of InDesign; you need to open/change the graphics themselves.

    In the meantime, the of in the text Word has changed for various reasons.

    Comment do I pour the content of the word which has been reworked be perfectly updated in InDesign from word without import it again?

    The idea is to have a clear separation between the background and shape, that an author is the right view of the text and the layout artist deals Davis page setting en.

    It's a system that works with InCopy, Adobe software, but Microsoft word is possible with one?

    Thanks in advance

    If I understand correctly, you need the linked file so it can be updated instead of "Placés" and formatted again.  Check this box in preferences management InDesign files, and then, when the Word Doc changes occur, use "Update link" in the links palette

  • place several doc MS Word page in InDesign

    I hope that there is a tip to place the content of several page MS word document into an InDesign document, which is faster than clicking and place on each page of the InDesign doc.

    Thus, for example, I have a MS Word doc page 10 and I would like to put its content in a 10 page InDesign document. In general I would like to draw a text box to place the content or Alt / click to place a box in the margins and could do it on each page over and over. Are there no better way to do it?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    OK, Larry. I can recreate the question. Would have been faster with an example of file .

    In ID when using place, I don't get the problem. It only happens here, if I use copy / paste - something I can never remember you use in ID except to help people.

    The reason why I asked about the PDF document or a print is I thought that the problem was a problem of stictching. And it is. In the PDF file, the lines but if you show zoom you will notice lines never get larger. For example, if printing ID or a PDF file, the lines are not there.

    The injection lines are the result of shadow on the letters. This causes a part of the image is a bitmap image.

    The Summit is the file placed in the code. The background is the copy & paste.
