Place .docx in InDesign cs4 does not work

I know I must be missing something very stupid, but this is the second project, I had this problem.

My teacher told us to put our Word documents rather than copy and paste.  I have master pages with columns and text boxes.  On the page where I want the text, I did ctrl-shift-click to activate the box...

I tried to place my .docx and nothing appears.  I don't get the cursor changed to who has demonstrated that he is 'hanging' there either.  I tried to choose the text tool and get the flashing cursor in the box text, then using the place and it still does not work.  I clicked on just try to hang on the slider, but nothing.  What step am I missing?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

There are a number of things that could happen. One is that the docx should start with a page break or an item that is too large to fit on the page, in which case it bumped to the next page or are not visible at all. Use the 'editor' mode to see if there is any text in the history, or find a symbol of overset text (a red sign in a box) in the bottom right of the text column.

It could also be Microsoft Weirdness - I got used to simplify files in Word before you try to place them. Turn off "track revisions" and click "accept all changes" and save or even save again in the .doc instead of docx format in case there is something that hangs the Indesign import filters.

  • InDesign CS4 does not work after I migrated to a new Mac!

    Please, please. Someone say there is a way to download and the older version of Adobe. I tried to help on YouTube. Migration has worked on the rest of the components of CS4, but not Indeisgn. Thank you very much.

    Application migration is not a reliable method.  You must install.

  • Adobe Indesign CS4 will not work with windows 7, work stoppage

    InDesign CS4 does not work with Windows 7

    InDesign CS4 stop working on Windows 7, we have Vb 6 application that opens Indesign cs4 to create multi-page document.

    but after a few Indesign CS4 pages stop working, if we run the same with version CS3 on Windows 7 it works fine.

    and if we use Indesign CS4 with Windows Xp, it works but create problem with Windows 7.

    You must have a configuration problem on your system.

    6 inDesign (CS4) works perfectly well on the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 versions. Many users as same Adobe employees use or have used this version of InDesign in these environments of operating system without problem that it is associated with the operating system.

    My CS4 does not work correctly. I have the download. Should I delete everything and reinstall and use the provided SN? Will it work?

    If you want to reinstall, do not delete anything. Use the uninstaller in your CS4 folder and if asked, select "delete preferences" then uninstall. When you have finished reinstalling, downloading and updates.

  • Made the switch from the Firefox chrome; now, meeting places and a few videos does not work

    Salvation; I'm wanting to get away from chrome, but in firefox, I can't get the 'hangouts' working in gmail, even if I do not have the googletalkplugin installed on my pc. Another issue I see is that, on some pages, video does not work; in the latest version of chrome, I understand that the flash thing has changed and I guess that firefox has not changed in the same way. I hesitated when downloading a plugin, as shown on the screenshot for fear that it will mess up video in chrome, I would use chrome. I would rather not switch back from firefox to chrome to phone or watch the video. Help, please.

    I asked for help on the hangouts thing before, but your suggestion 'install plugin' was not enough, so I request further assistance on this now. on the video thing, please just tell if I should download the plugin and whether or not it will affect the reading in chrome. Thank you

    Working! I had the talk plugin set to always turn on but I had disabled the video because I only use the phone, but apparently, they both need to be addressed to always activate... Please mark this as resolved and thank you!

  • InDesign CS4 does not (win)

    All of a sudden I can't Indesign to open correctly. I get the splash n it opens three panels (swatches, layers, essentials) but will not do anything else. I get the same results if I try to open the program from an icon of Indesign, from the windows menu start or clicking on an Indesign file. Everything worked fine last night. I restarted the computer, but I have the same problem. Illustrator and Photoshop are functioning normally. I am running CS4 for Windows. Any suggestions?

  • PDF in InDesign files does not work

    Hi all, this is my first post on the Adobe community.  I have a problem arose last week and I'm going crazy.  Help, please!  I'm running on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5.

    I have been using a workflow to create tables in InDesign for months without any problem:

    1 calculate a complex table in Excel

    2 paste the table into PowerPoint for formatting

    3. copy the table in PowerPoint, then paste it returned as a pdf image

    4 option-click on the pdf image on the slide to save it as a pdf file

    5. go to a picture InDesign who already has a linked picture, again the link to the new pdf file.

    This workflow has been very helpful because I have a lot of complex and carefully set tables in form, I need to get into InDesign.  Now, since upgrading both my Microsoft Office 2011 and my Adobe CS6 SW it does not.

    I can copy, paste-as-pdf, save the pdf file.   But when I try to link to it in InDesign we get the message "cannot open the pdf file.

    I always followed the old files to pdf without problem, and I can use this workflow on the pdf text of PowerPoint files.  Pdf files that contain tables do not bind in InDesign.  I tried to make the past-as-pdf in Microsoft Word and the behavior is the same.

    All PDFs in Acrobat air.

    I thank very you much for any assistance.

    -Cecelia

    I get the same results here that you get, and I see no reason for this. I was able to open the PDF file in Illustrator (not something I would recommend most of the time, but this file has no text) and re-register without any changes and it ended. I think it must be something that adds Mac Quartz or leaving out, but I can't say what.

    They really are paintings rather than what we normally consider as tables. Do you have Illustrator? It would be easy enough to replicate these in Illustrator directly (and not so difficult to ID using traditional tables with different fills blank cells), but if you're comfrotable in Excel, it is generally recommended that Excel graphs pasted in Illustrator and then put in memory in PDF format.

  • Action written in CS4 does not work properly in items 11 - contexts the 'selective' layer

    I created an action with the help of Adobe Photoshop CS4, and that it works in CS4.  When I save and load the action in 11 elements, there is a problem with the selective color layer.  The selective color layer is revealed in the stack of layers with the message whereas it cannot be edited b/c it was created in the full version of Photoshop. However, the layer itself has no changes in color/inside.

    In Photoshop, the selective color layer makes the photo look pink.  When I run the action in Elements11, selective color layer doing absolutely nothing to the photo.  I don't have the turned eye "on" to display the layer, and it is on the correct merge options & opacity (normal, 100%).

    If I run the action in Photoshop, save the file with all the layers created by the action and reopen the file in 11 elements, THEN the selective color layer shows its correct pink color.  But when I run the action as an autonomous action in Elements11, is not.

    Can anyone offer help as to why this is happening? Is there something special I need to do to make the action work in 11 elements? My understanding is that he must RUN and create the layers correctly, although some of them cannot be changed in Elements11. However, as it is, is not creating them with the appropriate color.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    selective color layer is not supported in PSE11. So any stage to edit would result in the error message saying that the layer can not be displayed.

    For your case, I believe that the recorded action starts by creating a selective correction blank adjustment layer and then tries to change and thus translates into a mistake.

    Even the effort to apply the effect by using result of adjustments of image by mistake as the "selective" command is not available.

    I would try to find another way to apply the effect, but I don't know if there is a way to apply an adjustment layer that is not supported by PES

  • 2 project time in CS5 "exceeds the capacity of the drive" just in CS4 does not work.

    My apologies in advance, but I looked in the forums a bit and while some people have my problem, it doesn't seem to be a clear solution or reason. Here's the question:

    Using the same parameters of SOUL in CS5 as I did in CS4 gives projects that "exceed the capacity of the drive."

    This is my workflow:

    Modify the project in first CS5.

    Project of export to MPEG2-DVD using my own custom settings. (I use the parameters of quality of NTSC, but change in 2 passes instead of 1).

    After that SOUL is over, I still open and import the M2V file.

    Place the menus (always the same menus) and construction ISO. I have transcoded any video in yet since we started using CS4.

    Now, this procedure has allowed me to create ISOs up to 2 hour and 10 M without any problems or warnings at all.

    We stayed in CS5, and now the same length of video with the same custom settings (described above) creates an ISO that fits on a DVD.

    I did a few shallow checks and it seems that my settings NTSC high quality are the same between CS4 and CS5. There's no other choice of codec to use for the MPEG2-DVD.

    I don't use audio in most of my projects, and what I describe in this post is also leaving out the audio because I do not use it. I eliminate the audio track in first, export / transcode without audio and there is no audio added once the sequence again.

    So, what gives? I tried transcoding this project of 8 hours twice. Needless to say that it's time consuming and as it is a business, I don't have time to re - transcode all night for days at a time just for tweaking the settings previously worked flawlessly.

    Anyone has any ideas on this subject? I'll provide more information if necessary. Thanks in advance!

    The preset between CS4 and CS5 are not quite the same thing. IFN is different

    Have you used quality max visited twice.

  • InDesign CS4 does not display the icon in the shape of triangle for the images changed into links

    My InDesign crashed the other day and now it gives me is no longer the yellow triangle icon in the links Panel to indicate that image has been changed and must be updated. I generally do not connect the image to the original through Indesign, but work independently in Photoshop. This has never been a problem. After that I updated the image in PS, the triangle appears instantly in ID in order to be able to click on it and update the image.

    I can always click on the Refresh button to update the image, but I wish that these rear indicators because it helps me with older documents - so that I can know what are the images really need to update and which are not.

    I restarted the Panel and launched and closed the bridge such as suggested in other older discussions, and he has not made a difference. I also noticed that if I try to open the original image by ID with open with, the icon for the PS, for example, doesn't think I'm in PS (it opens the image in Windowd Paint). It makes me wonder is the whole connection between ID and PS is messed up. How can I correct this connection?
