Problem with the swatches in Indesign CS4 palette

Hi all

Mac G5 dual processor OS 10.4.

I have a problem with my Swatches palette in that thumbnails showing stroke and fill are always empty, yet the range still works OK.

I don't know when this started - I use an old LCD monitor temporarily mine died and I thought at the beginning that I don't could not see properly, but I'm not sure now.

Any ideas please?

Thank youPicture 1.jpg

Any time the program starts to behave strangely like that, the first thing to try is to replace your preferences

  • problems with the script in indesign

    Hi all

    I'm new and scripts so I hope I can explain what I need

    Well, I have an indesign file in which I need to insert an extra layer with the translation of a language, have a layer IN English and an extra a FR for the french.

    I found a script that's like that

    with (app.clipboardPreferences) {}

    pasteRemembersLayers = true;

    }

    var docTarget = app.documents.itemByName ('French.indd');

    var docSource = app.documents.itemByName ('French.indd');

    If (docSource.isValid & & docTarget.isValid) {}

    var numSpreads = docSource.spreads.length;

    for (var i = 0; i < numSpreads; i ++) {}

    app.activeDocument = docSource;

    app.activeWindow.activeSpread = app.activeDocument.spreads [i];

    App.Select (App.activeDocument.spreads [i] .allPageItems);

    If (app.selection.length > 0) {}

    app. Copy ();

    app.activeDocument = docTarget;

    If (app.activeDocument.spreads [i] .isValid) {}

    app.activeWindow.activeSpread = app.activeDocument.spreads [i];

    app.pasteInPlace ();

    }

    }

    }

    }

    but it seems to cause problems with the files,

    I have to say that the source is a file very heavy, even enter takes a long time.

    but I want to just get into the text layer,

    Do you think this script works finally, can you spot an error or something?

    Hello

    Your script is copying content of any doc (allPageItems) in an another doc - all number two need to have equal variances.

    You don't need to run the script if your goal is to create the new layer in the existing doc.

    The questions are

    What elements of the page must be copied into this layer

    AND

    should bound texts copied frames play any content

    AND

    wherever the content come from?

  • Problem with the swatches Panel

    There is a problem with my Swatches Panel.

    When I select an object that can be colored in the page, such as a box, I choose a color for it in the swatches Panel. but, the little icon top left of this Panel that normally indicates if the color is applied to the fill or line, is empty. I can click on the arrows swap fill and stroke, near the icon and the fill and stroke will swap; but the icon is empty... just gray.

    Indicators of background and outline in the Panel of colors and the toolbar but displays correctly, however.

    The swatches Panel is displayed correctly when logged in another account.

    I'm on a Mac and tried to screw up the "idcs5_Swatches Panel.mxi" and "idcs5_Swatch Library Panel.mxi" files or not available.

    Is there another file I should try screw up? Could this be a conflict with another program?

    Thank you!

  • Problem with the 'Set Up' for CS4 application

    Still no luck - I'm on a mac under OS 10.9.5 and I'll have an iEdition with the 'Set Up' app for the teacher/student CS4 version: I had to reinstall my CS4 Design premium. The trouble begins after I click the app Set Up - I get to the section "installing applications" of the process, but then window in Set Up will not let me scroll down to select applications to install InDesign, Photo shop etc. If I try to start checking the boxes, the installation process seems just to stall and no progress bar appears. When I select 2 boxes of application as a test, I get a msg of error "Setup error". I have both version CS4 I bought the disc and the downloaded version that the cat office sent me too and the error occurs on two versions of the Set Up. I hope someone can help because I need this software pkg working again as soon as possible. TKS

  • rebate of education after buying Creative Clooud and the problem with the help of InDesign

    Hello, I was wondering if you could help me with the following questions:

    (1) I just bought an annual subscription for Adobe Creative Cloud. Subsequently, I have seen that Adobe offers discounts to staff who work in schools or educators. I work in a school in the Luxembourg. I can provide the corresponding certificate. I was wondering where and how would I submit in order to receive the discount.

    (2) I downloaded and installed Adobe Creative Cloud in my computer. I installed two products: Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. I use Adobe Photoshop without problem, but I can't use Adobe InDesign. He requests a license.

    Thank you in advance for your advice, best looks

  • How to place an image inline with the text using InDesign CS4?

    I'm writing the first draft of an instruction manual how two for some software.

    I'm writing the manual directly in InDesign CS4 and making screen shots that I'm making progress. I format the screenshot in Photoshop and export it to a JPG file.

    In InDesign, I double-click in the text box where I want to insert the image, go to file > place, get the picture, then press on open.

    Usually InDesign inserts the image at the cursor flashing in the text, but sometimes what happens is that no picture inserted and everything after it disappears. I get several empty text boxes and need to Control-Z to get back to where I started.

    Now I can put the image outside the text box and then manually move it to the text where I want to go, however when I export the file as HTML, then I need to manually move it to the appropriate area in Dreamweaver (when the image is placed inside the text box to the flashing cursor, the HTML file shows the image in the right place).

    I was able to insert the line in file with the text to a new paragraph mark, but sometimes InDesign doesn't let me do. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

    I don't know what I'm doing to prevent it from placing the paragraph mark and the blinking cursor (which is where I want it to appear).

    This is a recording of screen 54sec of my actions:

    http://storytechnician.com/temp/idcs4-place/

    Steps to follow:

    I double-click inside the text box

    I place the image

    everything goes

    I have a few pages scroll, and then return to the starting point

    I have to scroll through a page or double-click inside the text box then press return a few times, and the previous image, I put in this way is automatically pushed to the next page.

    I go back to point of original departure, try again, and it does not work.

    I've done it before, but now it does not work. I don't know what's happened prevents him from online to the location of the cursor.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    It seems to me that the image is too wide for the frame. You can place it on the editing table, scale in the size, then cut to the Clipboard and paste it into the flow of the text.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - problem with the monitor program.

    Hello. I am not able to solve the problems with the monitor using PremiereProCS4. When I drag a photo (also only one photo) in the timeline panel and read it in the monitor program, vision in the monitoring program is not monitor of race: black or a small part of the picture appear... sometimes changing colors. ASUS P5QPRO Intel 9550 and Sparkle Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX + 1024 DDR3; directX and the latest gpu driver are installed. Different configurations of Strath discs have been tested. Where I'm wrong?

    Although largely in the max. PrPro range, which is always likely to much larger size than that required. This ARTICLE will give you general information and a workflow possible.

    Coming from the camera, JPEG should be RGB already, so no problems with CMYK.

    Good luck and hope that helps.
