  • A brand new user has need of little help and advice...

    Hello

    I just took the bold gamble in Indesign and it's the first day of my 30 day trial.

    I need help and advice from you folks... Please.

    I have been successfully creating Brochures A5 (A4 folded) using MS Word and print it on a desktop printer. MS Word sorted my order page for me when printing to the correct pages have been implemented.

    I read as much information that I could find, but I'm still able to do the same in Indesign.

    I'm looking forward to you use the advanced functions of layout and have control over what I do, but I need to work on this fundamental step before going any further.

    I hope that what I explained is logical.

    Concerning

    John

    So presumably you create a new document, the portrait of the A5, facing pages. Make sure that your number of pages in the document is a multiple of 4.

    Create, type, twist, meditate, edit, smile, save.

    To create your booklet using InDesign, on the file menu, select print booklet.

    You will probably need to jump back from the button print settings, adjusting the size paper, Orientation, color, and in the print tab booklet for 2-high shot on horseback.

    A large part has been posted on this topic, these are the basics, printing booklet is not the best module ever written Adobe, IMO

  • Cannot load help and Support Windows as file registery HELPCTR. EXE is missing how restore?

    Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App Paths is missing HELPCTR. EXE.  Want to know how to reinstall HELPCTR. EXE.

    First see if it works:

    The Center help and Support sometimes get broken with overzealous cleaning and there are a lot of things to 'try' who sometimes work and sometimes they are not. Sometimes people drop everything simply and never reuse Help and Support Center, but it can still be repaired.

    Do you now or nave already used third-party applications on your system where the product description includes descriptive as sentences:

    cleaner, mechanic, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, clean up, tune up, speed up, set towards the top, compact, compress, faster, power, boost, boost, gum, muncher. guaranteed or all that has an icon that looks like a key, the key or the screwdriver?

    We will restore some things in the registry who sometimes kill himself by malicious software or, sometimes, these cleaning programs.

    Before making any changes to your registry (although I hope that this update), make a copy of your registry with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Then go to this page WWW of Riou (thanks, Ramesh).

    http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/startmenuhelp.htm

    When you click the file startmenuhelp.reg on this page with your browser, you will see a bunch of text that
    is the registry information that you want to apply to your system.  It seems daunting, but it's not so bad.

    Press Ctrl + A to select all the text, then press Ctrl-C to copy the text to the Windows Clipboard.

    Click Start, run, and then in the box, type:

    notebook

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Press Ctrl + V to paste the information that you copied into the Windows Clipboard in the Notepad file.  Save the new notebook
    file on your desktop and the name of the new file something he can hold, as:

    startmenuhelp.reg

    Quit Notepad and double click the file startmenuhelp.reg on your desktop and answer Yes to
    the query about adding information to your registry.

    Test your help and your support now, then restart and test again to make sure that the changes 'stick' with a reboot.

    You can delete the file startmenuhelp.reg to your desktop.

    If that does not do it, we just reinstalled the whole shebang (help) and Support.

    Hi Trulsbi,
    What type of connection do you have?
    You use a router? If you do, how do you connect? USB, ethernet or wireless?

    This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

    • There is a problem with the firmware for your base station.
    • IEEE 802. 1 X authentication is enabled.
    • Your adapter (USB) wireless universal serial bus problems that are related to the USB bus.
    • Your Internet is a DSL connection that uses a Point to support the Ethernet (PPPoE) authentication.

    I know you don't actually lose your connection, but move to make changes to the settings recommended on the article and see if it helps. If it is not the case, change it back to the original settings.

  • In big trouble and the refectory. Really need help and advice.

    Hi everyone, I'll try to be brief and make me delete the cause that there was a strange turn of events for me. A good friend of mine sold me his laptop: Acer Aspire 7560 G. Good enough for me to was for very occasional use. The laptop has dual boot: Windows 7 Family edition provided with the computer and Mint Lixux for which my friend created partitions. Last week, I decided to make the leap to Windows 10 via the free upragde. The process went well until the end when I was informed that there was not enough space on the partition of Windows 7 to complete the installation. So I went to my friend, so he could adjust the partitions in a more balanced way. He said that he could do. Of course, he is the one who partitioned the disk in the first place to the account of his love for Linux. I decided that I couldn't live without Linux in order to have a larger partition for Windows 7. My friend wiped the partition Linux and Windows 7, leaving for me recovery mode partition to reinstall the operating system, after that the other had been moved a little. In fact, he can never enter into Recovery Mode. Hours spent, and he did not want the best solution he found was to install a rather well preserved box of Windows 8 a friend of his who was given with a computer. Installation of Windows 8 is going very well, we had the key and everything. I'm not a Windows Guy. I'm a Mac guy my knowledge is limited, but I want to learn. Sometimes the Apple you know. The OS installed, but asked something like formalizing Windows on my computer. Now, I reinstalled Linux and I do not see the Windows 7 recovery mode. Is that mean I lost my chance to spend freely for good? This Windows 8 is not even mine, he's a friend of my friend. I'm really upset and I think someone has caused me major problems. Can anyone help please?
