I created a drop down menu in fireworks & am using it in Dreamweaver. Three of the buttons don't actually get any "drop downs", so they are just linked straight to their page (example, the "home" button). Here's the problem: any link to a "drop down" button works fine. Any link to a top level...

Yoiks! You shouldn't be using Fireworks for print!! And not Publisher either--many printers won't accept those files & they are not meant for that purpose. You need a good layout program such as Quark or Indesign. Freehand or Illustrator, or even Photoshop will work also, if you know what...

I could SWEAR I knew how to do this! I thought to get, for example, and accent over an e, you hit option-e, then e again, which then typed a character w/ the added accent. But it isn't working--when I do that, I get ´e instead! (I just noticed it works here when typing it in!) How do I get this...

I use Adobe Type Manager. I've already re-installed it, with no change. And since the font menus work fine in every other software, I really think this is a Quark issue.

I was working merrily away on a Quark document (Mac, OS 9.2, Quark 4.1), when suddenly my font menu list disappeared. If I have text highlighted & click down in the bottom bar to bring up the menu of fonts, nothing happens. Also, nothing happens if I try to bring up the font menu by using the...

I keep running into this problem: I'm provided all the text for website pages in Word documents. The writers, thinking they are being helpful, put some data into table. The joy of the task of cutting and pasting each little cell content has worn very, very thin. Is there any way to bring in the...

I've been making pdf files for printers for awhile & suddenly started getting calls that the fonts were not embedded. But I've been telling it to embed all fonts! It isn't working. One printer told me she'd run into this problem a lot, but didn't know a solution. This is worthless to me if I...

I *know* how to do this, but am drawing a complete blank, & have already wasted too much time this morning hunting for it. I want to make the links not underlined. I know there is a simple stupid little box to check & viola, it's done. But I can't find the *&%$#@ thing. Help!

I've been messing w/ this today. When I make a column graph, the software automatically puts in measuring numbers along the side. For example, the graph comes up with the "measurement numbers" (vertically along the left side) set at 3,6,9,12,15. I want them to be 2,4,6,8,10, etc. Is...

Okay, in my beloved version six, all you did was select 2 overlapping objects, go up to "filter", to "pathfinder", & choose "exclude". Now I choose the 2 objects, go to "effect", to "pathfinder", & choose "exclude". First it tells me...

Help! I have to teach a Photoshop class next week & want to have all the exercise files on my website for everyone to download at the start of the class. How do I put in a link that tells it to actually download the files, instead of open them? I've put the images up & had them right-click...

If I have a link that opens a new browser window, is there a way to control the size? It defaults to opening a big new page. Any way to force it to be smaller?

<area shape=&quot;poly&quot; coords=&quot;188,46,141,74,140,107,186,127,217,138,295,108,287,69,234,44&quot; href=&quot;#&quot; onMouseOver=&quot;MM_showHideLayers('purple','','show');MM_showHideLayers('startcircles','','hide')&quot...

I'm trying to make a show/hide layer behavior, where if you mouse over part of a large image (an image mapped area), the whole image will change. It works, but when viewing in the browser, as the mouse moves over the mapped area, the hidden layer flashes visible/not/visible/not... only if the...

http://www.smarterwork.com http://www.bullhorn.com I haven't had any success, but these are sites where you can put up a portfolio & resume, & bid for work. There are just so many designers on the sites, I think you tend to get lost in the crowd.
