What am I supposed to do with those pesky column guides?

New to Indesign. So far, love it, but...

Are these column guides - for fluid text, as in Microsoft Word?

These things:

I can move around freely. Why? What's the point?

They ARE 'column' guides. Understood that by adjusting the color guide:

Am I missing out on something? So far, I ignored them. They seem unnecessary.

Column guides are there to allow you to will on the pages when you place text and use the keys Alt - Shift or press the SHIFT key to long texts fill your pages between the column guides... There is really no need the when you use a primary in CS6 and newer text block, but you will see them anyway.

When you create a new document and decide to use two columns on your page, you will see a column Guide for these two columns for example, wheter you are using a block of text primary or not.

To be honest: I really think that you need an education more in InDesign...

  • What am I supposed to do with a folder named 'Old data Firefox' and I don't remember really what I did to be saved?

    I'm not sure what I did to cause Firefox do I ASSUMED a BACKUP. Since I now have a folder named 'Old data Firefox' what do I do with it? Should I restore somehow everything that is located in this folder in my Firefox browser? Or do I need at all? What I'm missing here? No explanation, no guideance, no guidance as to what to do or how to Firefox or Mozilla. I can't even say for sure IF it I MISS SOMETHING IN MY FIREFOX BROWSER WORK NOW that has BEEN REGISTERED IN THIS BACKUP orrrrrrrrrrr do not? [email protected] Lescot

    If you have an 'Old Firefox Data' folder on your desktop, then you must have used the function "Reset Firefox", or help-> troubleshooting information page, as shown in the screenshot in this article, or in Firefox Safe Mode window, illustrated here.

    See Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information on this feature.

    You don't need the "Old Firefox Data" folder, but you can move it to another location on your computer as a backup, if you wish. It is unlikely that you have set this folder as your current residence of profile. To find out which folder Firefox is currently using for the data in your profile, visit using Firefox-> troubleshooting information and click the Show folder. This will open the profile folder of Firefox under Windows. On Windows 7, the default Firefox profile folder would be located here (where "username" is your Windows logon user name and xxxxxxxx is a random string))

  • I need to replace the bookmarks on my 2nd computer with those of my main computer.

    Original title: replace bookmarks

    I need to replace the bookmarks on my 2nd computer with those of my main computer.  How can I remove those on the 2nd without having to remove a folder at a time.  If I don't have and I install the bookmarks of the computer main I get two sets of records on computer 2.

    Don Jacobs

    Thank you for your resjponse.  Sorry about the omission of browser.  I use IE 8.  I don't know about the sequence of import and export.  I need to know, what I can erase the bookmark.htm file before I import without which performs the import just puts a second series of folders on the laptop...

    Don. I guess that I'm missing something here because I do not understand what it is you are trying to say.

    First of all, let's say that computer 1 to the desired favorites. Computer 2 is where you add the Favorites. Go to the computer 1 and save (export) your Favorites. Go to computer 2. Remove all Favorites (C:\Users\Owner\Favorites.. Please be advised that your path may vary). Now on computer 2, click on the ' import '. Navigate to the file htm to computer 1. Your Favorites from computer 1 are now in place.

  • When I go to open a file a box comes up to choose what program I want to open with.

    When I go to open a file a box comes up to choose what program I want to open with.  At the bottom of this box is a place where I'm supposed to be able to check who always says "use this program to open this file" I can't check this box.  I open office.org and it allows to automatically save in this format.  Microsoft word program has been installed on my computer and he began to do what I said above then my daughter-in-law.  I've since removed the Microsoft Word program, but it continues to make me choose program to open whenever I try to open a document that was created after she comes to settle the Microsoft word porgram.  Now, even if I had clicked on save in openoffice.org, with that I always get this box asking me what program I want to open.  Thank you for your help.  Marilyn.

    I guess the box to "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is grayed out, and that's why you can not check it out.  Is this correct?  Is this true for the two files that were created in OpenOffice files AND that were created in Microsoft Word (note that created is the same that that edited not)?

    In OpenOffice, make sure that the "automatic file name extension" option is enabled in the file "Save as" dialog box.

    • Click on "My Documents" (or open Windows Explorer and go everywhere where your documents).
    • Click Tools > Folder Options and then click the view tab
    • Scroll down to the bottom of the "Advanced settings" area and make sure that "Hide extensions of known file types" is NOT checked.
    • Click OK

    Find one or more files that is causing problems.  Which file extensions are displayed (3 characters after the dot in the filename) on these files?

  • How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer?

    Original title: completely clueless

    I'm totally clueless when it comes to computers, but I try very hard to learn. I am using the help section a LOT, but I can't seem to find an answer to the only thing that makes me crazy. How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer? I have a very basic net accountant I learn on before I screw up a portable more expensive and I do a cleaning on my C and D drives to improve performance because it runs so slow but it tells me I have the drivers who slow down Windows. I would greatky appreciate any assistance from someone who has the patience of a saint and is willing to take the time to explain it to me, in terms laymans. Thanks in advance

    Drivers: you should know what you bought (in your machine) and what * you * want out of it.  If you want stability and things work properly - let alone the drivers.  If you want more performance check (and other games) in the drivers of motherboard chipset and video network from the manufacturers Web site... For more stability stick with the OEM website (HP, Dell, Lenovo - the assembler of the whole machine) and slightly more performance/push the limits (even if they want to work too - so still some stability) - access to websites of its components manufacturer.

    With regard to the programs: you can decide what you use and do not use.  If you are not sure, look it up (Google) or ask.

  • How are we supposed to work with the new motion tweens if there is no editor of motion more?

    How are we supposed to work with the new motion tweens if there is no editor of motion more? Without query editor, we can see what kind of key frames are defined and we cannot set acceleration anywhere. Adobe go us back and use the old motion tweens does want now?

    Hi all

    Flash Pro CC 2014 (v 14.0.0.110) is now available for download through the creative application of cloud.

    We have included a whole new motion editor and several other new features with this release of Flash Pro. The new query editor is completely redesigned, intuitive and easy to use while retaining the basic features and backward compatibility with Flash CS6

    To call the query editor, just double-click on your motion tweens on the timeline (or right click and select "Refine the Motion") and the motion Editor opens in the context of the scenario itself. Double click again to collapse once you have made your adjustments.

    Complete list of the new features of Flash Pro CC 2014 is available at these links:

  • How can I synchronize Safari bookmarks with those in Firefox?

    I have a PC running Firefix and Firefox Sync OK. I have an ipad 2 with Firefox Home installed and connected fine to my FF sync account.

    I was expecting FF home to synchronize bookmarks on ipad Safari with those on the desktop. Apparently not so much.

    I can see the desktop bookmarks within the app FF home on the ipad.

    How do I...
    -Correctly synchronize bookmarks between the two systems (FF on desktop?) and Safari on iPad
    -Otherwise, how can I synchronize the bookmarks on the iPad with Firefox? Currently, there seems to be a one-way transfer (i.e. I can only access the bookmarks on the iPad desktop PC)

    Thank you

    James

    Yep, it's a one-way synchronization, server sync then for Firefox Home Office. Don't Synchronize FirefoxHome on the synchronization server.

  • What internal DVD +/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304

    Can someone give me an answer to what internal DVD +/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304.

    I said a CSD-6012 or DVD +/-RW UJ-820 might work.

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Lee

    Hello

    Have you checked the manual of the Satellite P10?
    Sometimes, compatible CD/DVD players are in the user manual that must be installed on your laptop.
    If you n t have the user manual, then you can download from the Toshiba page.

    However, if you don't get the right info in the user's manual then I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for details.
    Usually, you can order a player taken in charge of these guys here.

    It is important that you know which drives are compatible because of the different master\slave\c-salt settings.

    Bye and good luck

    More external ODD will work just make sure it's an external power source. This allows not to take a lot of power to the unit.
