How to anchor the floating tools palette in InDesign CS6 for Mac? Normal way does not work

In all my applications except InDesign CS6 (Mac) CS, I can anchor the Tools window alongside the main components content as any other window: drag it to the edge and just timely, it highlights where it will be anchored with a blue outline and docks when let you go.

I can't find a way to do this in InDesign CS6 (Version 8.0, Mac), however. Unlike all the other windows, it never offers the possibility to berth, regardless of where I hang out. The only options in the toolbar without a vertical line, two lines and a horizontal line. I also looked in Preferences > Interface and the only options refer to the "floating toolbar" and give the same vertical line, two lines and a horizontal line options as the tool bar itself.

I see no possibility to stop it floating. I tried on a variety of window > reorder parameters and with window > Framework Application both checked and unchecked, and nothing works. I do switch to position in a corner, but it is not dock and does not stop floating.

It is not just the inconsistency and the nuisance of him sitting on top the documents and does not move with the rest of the window that is the problem: I'm on a Mac (Lion) and the floating toolbar breaks a normal function of the useful operating system. In all applications except InDesign, when I press F3, the current window shrinks down and I see all the other open windows, organized by application, with each application icon, floating on the top. In InDesign CS6, it is the tool floating bar, not in the main window, which is shrinking. The InDesign main window stays where he is, sat awkwardly between icons and my other windows, in the way of other windows - effectively making it impossible to use F3 to move to an other another window without having to InDesign.

Here is a screenshot that I found online (it looks like the Windows of CS6 version?) where the toolbar is docked: no close icon, slots perfectly alongside aspects of content, not regarded as a separate window by the operating system.

I can't find Mac screenshots where it is moored - in most, it is awkwardly floating above the left rule.

Its a strange bug, but I found a work around.
If anchor you another pallet (info, layers etc...) to the left, you can anchor the toolbar on the left of this palette. You can then detach the pallet and the toolbar will remain anchored.

    Emmanuel,

    If I (put) correctly, you should be able to get the opacity mask to work as follows:

    Select (only) the White path and the mixture and then in the transparency palette flyout on create with unchecked Clip opacity mask and mask invert checked.

    Who must hide the inner part of the mixture corresponding to the white circle and let the front remains visible oin the background (circle and all that.)

    Firefox 26:
    The fix turn browser.download.useToolkitUI true subject: config does not work. How can I get rid of the crap from the library and retrieve my download Panel?

    The downloads window went into Firefox 26. The preference of browser.download.usetoolkitui has been removed. If you still see in Subject: config, it is because you have already customized its value. Right-click and choose reset; It will be gone the next time you start Firefox.

    I believe that the plan was still in the window replacement of downloads with the downloads Panel and the library category. Given that its code had not been maintained, he had several questions, such as incompatibility with private per-window.

    If you have any suggestions to improve the downloads Panel or the library category, you can drop highlighting bug reports.

  • Responsive HTML5 with mergedprojects, creates a hyperlink to a file in the project html parent to a child html file and it does not work! The child has with the parent TOC, but need to tie. Help, please!

    Hi group!

    I have a brilliant parent project that serves as a springboard for other projects. Users click a component of software they want and are redirected to a page with a list of all the documentation available for this component. Click on the name of a document and access - a lot of PDF files. BUT I also wish they were able to tie the online help for the component. After having read up on the link through / between projects, I knew that I needed to create a parent project (for the page intro and links brilliant) and projects for children (for software components).

    THEN

    I created a parent sensitive HTML5 project and the projects of two children. I compiled the parent to create mergedprojects files, and then open the projects children and collected to the appropriate mergedprojects folder. I then created a hyperlink to the file list html documentation in the project parent towards the child file software component html (output folder and start page [which is the same as the default theme]) and the link does not work! The child and its table of contents appears in the parent TOC so topics are here, but I can't link to them. If necessary, I can send screenshots.

    Where I am dorking this place?

    Thanks in advance for your time and help!

  • Crush the account for new host settings does not work.

    I would be grateful if someone could help me, my email hosting company a supplier has changed, but my two addresses remain the same. Crushing my two POP3 accounts with the new settings of the server does not work. I checked with the new owner that the settings are correct, but they suggest that this problem is probably down to Thunderbird and profiles in a way works and is outside their mission of support. My provider is puzzled, but to be honest I only have a small amount of ability here. I need to keep all of my old emails and their structure files and to get the connection to the new servers host works. Anyone who wants to help?

    Thank you, Simon

    I had the help of my provider to fix this.

    Basically, you cannot overwrite an existing account with new parameters. The answer is to create a new account and edit the old one so it does not carry the same settings of server and user name. Now, I spend all my archives of old emails to the new account, but which is described elsewhere, I think.
