formatting characters advanced disabled?

I use InDesign CS3 on my mac without problem.

Recently a colleague on a pc, try using InDesign CS 5.5, but that he had a problem with character styles.

He wants to set up a character with a specified vertical offset style, but the majority of the settings in the advanced Panel of the characters of the character style sheet Formats have been disabled (gray and uneditable). For example, 'Horizontal ladder', 'Vertical', 'Baseline-shift' and 'Skew' could not be set.  Notably, the language menu was available, but does not appear to affect others.

I tried to create a new document, set up a new block of text and saw a similar question.  Change language in this Panel and replace the font Myriad do not seem to change this behavior.

Is there some requirement for Windows or CS 5.5 that may affect this?  (IE, a dependency on what type of font is used, etc.?)

Thank you

Matt

  • Formatting characters in the SQL worksheet in the version 2.1.1.64

    Hello

    Using the version 2.1.1.64

    When I type SQL in the SQL worksheet calculation is to show formatting characters - for example all the spaces display as a light gray and a newline character appears at the end of each line.

    Formatting characters displayed not initially when I started to use this version. I don't know how this setting is enabled, but there doesn't seem to be a preferences setting to turn it off. Any ideas?

  • Pavilion m81897c: Advanced Format Drive

    My 8 year hard drive seems to have died. I love HP and particularly in this case and the mobo to work well for me, so I plan to replace my Vista 32 bit w / 64 bit W7 and install a 1 TB WD HD that has a warning on the label that it is a format disc advanced.  It means the Web of WD site for more information.  This whole process looks like defusing a bomb for me so any advice to avoid the traps will be appreciated!

    Webbww, welcome to the forum.

    Advanced Format drives don't work with old HP computers.  I suggest buying a standard SATA, 7200 RPM.  You can use disks to 6 Gbit/s because they are backward compatible.  Also, here is a good guide to help you to restore the system after replacing the drive.  It will help to defuse the bomb.

    Here are the upgrades are advised by Crucial memory for your computer.  You can try one of them to increase the performance of the SSD.  You will have to buy one at least 128 GB to work with recovery disks.

  • Someone at - he heard of this? Text of boot and BIOS is distorted. Random characters in the BIOS and the splash screen are off by 2 in alphabetical order.

    After a recent accident, my screen is distorted during boot and in the BIOS. Random Charactersa are replaced by a different letter, that is, the periods are replaced with commas, 'Windows' may appear as 'Walker', 'restarted' as 'Reqtarted' and 'Network' as 'Letuoriini '.

    It seems that the characters are disabled by two in alphabetical order, appearing as A, D, appearing as a B C.
    At first, I thought that it was a mistake to video card, so I updated the driver. I ran three separate programs of the antivirus (AVG, MBAM and Hitman Pro). Nothing came.
    Any advice? I can't post specifications of material right now, as I write via the phone, but will provide later tonight.

    After much trial and error, it turned out that my graphics card was at fault.

    The original accident occurred during the loading of Arkham City, which has always been a little bit of lag on my system. As he had been executed more slowly than normal, I installed a driver updated for it. No improvement, except when it is trying to run anything that has used its installed engines, (PhysX, DirectX, or any more complex than the Minesweeper game) or the card system would be plant or generate error messages.
    So I ran several antivirus programs, nothing unusual came. Biting the bullet, I formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows XP.  The computer works, but need several resettlement programs. During the restoration, the distorted letters are returned to the starting, development not being able to get in Mode safe without extreme distortion after the start.
    Until the moment where it loaded with a mobile slider on noise static/white/random color.
    I had almost given up hope until it appeared. Since the PC started normally, it wouldn't BIOS or any other material.
    My secondary fan came unplugged, and the fan on the graphics card had stopped working. After switching to the card mother VGA, distortion had disappeared.
    Final diagnosis: overheated graphics card.
  • Firefox 4.0.1 shows almost all of the text in bold. I start to record mode and sound fine, but when I disable all the addon then start in normal mode it broke again.

    So I updated last night, this morning I noticed that a lot of the text on Web sites are in bold.
    For example when doing web yahoo mail unread messages must be "BOLD", while read messages shouldn't be now, they are all "BOLD" anything.
    I started in safe mode, thinking that an addon was broken and at the normal search that seemed to confirm that.
    So I disabled all the addon and manually restarted in normal mode, the problem was back.

    I confirmed all was the addon still handicapped and restarted in safe mode once again, fixed... so I disabled both the plugin and extensions... still broken in normal mode.
    At one point I thought it might be the default aspect so I downloaded one that looks like 3.6 and this one broke... again.

    So that's what I'm wondering, what is not loaded in safe mode which is always loaded when you manually turn off all extensions and plugin?

    This could be a problem with the new features related to the police who are trying to use your graphics card. You can enable those here:

    Tools > Options > advanced > [disable] "use hardware acceleration when available.

    (It's one of the things that turn off safe mode.)

    I don't know if you'll see results immediately, or if you must restart Firefox.

  • Camileo S10 - want to convert mov HD in a different format

    It would really help if someone had information about the video format of this camera.

  • Formatting issues

    Can someone help me with why when I open my files for a particular site, the formatting files is disabled? Also, I'm working on 2 different sites and when I open a file from a site, I get a dialog box with a list of all sites. I then click on the site that I'm trying, then click done. What is the right way?

    My most pressing question is the formatting because my backup are very well and when I copy in the current folder for this site, the formatting is off.

    Thank you.

    Put all the site files and assets in separate physical locations on your hard drive.

    C:\Site1\

    C:\Site2\

    etc...

    Define sites in DW by going to Site > new Site or manage Sites.  Say DW where the local site folder.  Repeat for other sites.

    If you encounter problems with the appearance, validate your code to make sure that no error code.

    Go to window > results > Validation

    Or use the following online validation services:

  • Output Bandicam - "Unsupported format or file damaged."

    Can I do to make these compatible with Premiere Pro CS6 files without having to transcode?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you.

    PS I know that Bandicam has a "Preset" specifically for the work of creation/Vegas, but I was not aware at the time. Oh.

    Typical that I managed to find a solution almost immediately after the announcement. If anyone has this problem, I managed to work around it by converting (or reconditioning, I think) files to MP4s using ffmpeg: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

    Use:

    -i "of entry fichier.avi" ffmpeg.exe vcodec - copy - acodec copy "output file. MP4.

    EDIT: Thank you Ann, the problem is that I want to use the files already saved by Bandicam using another preset, but in the future, I'll make sure to use the one specified in this thread. Thank you!

  • SVG in the paper: how to disable?

    Up to mid-December of 2013, I could copy the vector art off CC Illustrator and paste it into an application not Adobe (Comic Life, by Plasq). Smooth, worked very well.

    Since then, I upgraded to a new MacPro and fresh downloaded copies of all applications, inclucing Illustrator 17.0.2. Now, when I copy the vector art, he glue code, not art:

    <!-generator: Adobe Illustrator 17.0.2 SVG plugin Export->

    < version svg = "1.1".

    " xmlns =" http://www.w3.org/2000/SVG "xmlns:xlink =" " http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink "" xmlns: a = " " ' http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeSVGViewerExtensions/3.0/ '

    ... [the rest is coordinated code for art]

    If something has changed in how Illustrator handles his Clipboard, and more precisely, it seems now copy the SVG, no postscript. And by the way, I tried checking and unchecking, in various combinations, the Clipboard on Quit preference, and the result is always the same.

    SVG Clipboard format can be disabled? Can I control what format the Clipboard uses? And to be clear, I'm not talking about record under... SVG. I'm talking about how the Clipboard copy.

    Any ideas or suggestions? Any guess why Adobe does this change?

    Update published 17.1 today for Illustrator CC contains a preference to disable 'Code SVG' copy to the Clipboard, uncheck this option to disable the SVG code copy it to the Clipboard.

  • How to UN-clutter make list hundreds of paragraph formats

    When I pull down the menu from the paragraph formats I see a LARGE number of them scroll down beyond my screen.  God forbid I would never choose one that begins with a letter at the end of the alphabet.  Reference to files helps a catalog window but I have looked everywhere for this mythical thing and can't find it.  If I don't find this catalogue, I can remove all of the tags that I don't need this one document without losing them permanently for all documents?  Can I set preferences for a list of new documents some of my favorites without dealing with this huge list heavy every time?

    Hi, Paul:

    Paragraph, character and table format definitions are stored in each file.

    To remove the paragraph or character format catalog formats, open the catalog with the Format > paragraphs > catalogue or Format > characters > catalog, click Delete * to open the Delete dialog box, select a format by clicking on a name visible format, by navigating through the list with the arrow keys, or by typing the first letter of the name of the shape. Repeatedly typing the same initials moves in formats that start with that letter. Click on delete to 'name' the format selected for deletion. You cannot select multiple formats in the list shift + click or Ctrl + click. Click Finish to perform the actual deletion, or Cancel if you change your mind.

    Another way to open the delete format dialog box is by clicking on the delete option that appears by clicking the commands button in the paragraph, character and Table designers.

    To make sure that you do not lose the formats that you can use at another time, save a copy of the file with a descriptive name, such as "AllFormatsInTheKnownUniverse.fm." You can remove all content to do the cleaning in the file, without losing the formats. You can import a file formats to another, or a file to multiple files in a book. Google search for "framemaker import formats" without quotation marks for more information on the Adobe, using FrameMaker forums and other sources.

    * Please note that by pressing DEL to open the dialog box delete does not delete the format selected in the catalog.

    A way to eliminate all formats not used of a catalog is to use the file > utilities > create and apply Formats. WARNING: it is dangerous; Read up on it in help, and then save a copy of your file before using. You will find names of unknown format in the catalog that it creates, such as mapping Table Title and a few others; they have points of master and reference Pages.

    Better and safer that create and apply Formats are great inexpensive tools for the maintenance of the catalogues of paragraph and character of siliconprairiesoftware.com format.

    The table format catalog is visible in the table designer (Table > table designer.)

    Hi Mark,

    you have enabled "Style substitute highlighter", a new InDesign CC 2015.3 device which would indicate if there is a difference between the used character style or a paragraph style and the actual formatting characters or the whole paragraph.

    You can enable/disable for example. in your paragraph Styles Panel or your character Styles Panel.

    BTW. The blue bar at the edge of your text block indicates a substitution of the whole paragraph.

  • Check the hyphenation and spelling does not

    Hello

    I have some problems from CS4 - CS6, namely certain functions that I struggle to get my head.

    My main problem, however, is that I can't get setting or check for work spelling. I have my English language: UK, however, each word is highlighted in red. Space reserved by default, Hebrew text, I can solve it in holding down the cmd key, but I wonder if that's part of the problem?

    Hypenation also does not work.

    I tried my settings on Hunspell, proximity and user dictionary, but I can't seem to make it work.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

    Screen shot 2013-02-21 at 08.56.12.jpg

    Language is an attribute of character level and is not related, at least not directly, at the option of the dictionary in the preferences. The choice of dictionary simply indicates ID who, dictionaries installed, it should use for spell checking and hyphenation when it encounters this language, but does nothing to set a language anywhere.

    Clearly your default language is set to Hebrew. To fix that you need to change the language without anything selected. If you do this in an existing file, it will affect all the new text in this file, but not text or other files. If you change the default language without file open it will be set for all new files, but will not affect anything already existing. To change the language, simply choose the right pair in the drop-down list in the character or control panel.

    To correct the existing text, it is probably easier to use find/replace and search for the incorrect language in formatting to find and change to the correct language in the formatting change. You will find the language from the drop-down lists under advanced formatting characters in these dialog boxes. You can use GREP or query of plain text, and you can leave find it and change the fields is empty until you understand something in two areas of formatting.

  • Change of color at a time

    Hi guys,.

    I have a 50 page document without paragraph or character style. I know it's my fault. The body of the text is black 80% tinted and tinted 80% Magenta. I know that it is easy to replace a color in Indesign by throwing in the trash can and select another but what happens if this color is black? Black can be eliminated from the Color Palette. It's a default color.

    Also can I replace one color with another color to 80% hue or it just replace it at 100% saturation?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    S. -.

    Assuming that you really mean ALL the text in a particular combination of swatch/hue, it is actually quite simple using search/replace, but you have to do each color separately. You can do this in dialogue GREP plain text or you do not need to enter in any search field or find change, only the Format and the Format change sections.

    Click on the magnifying glass icon to find little next to the Format box to enter in the dialog box. If you have already assigned a text for the spell check language, you can go to the pane advanced formatting characters and just choose the language from the drop-down list, otherwise, go to the color of the character pane and choose your shade, then enter the value of shade in the area of the hue. Say OK

    Now go to the Format Change dialog box by clicking the magnifying glass next to this area. Go to the part of the color of the characters and set the color and the color you want to replace. If you have not previously set a language, you can do it now in the Advanced character formatting pane, then say OK.

    In the Find/Replace dialog box, select ALL change.

    Repeat for each color you want to change.
