    Transferring illustrator keyboard commands from one computer to anothe

    Can this be done - I'm working between two computers (mac), and wish to use my own custom keyboard command on both machines. How do I replicate my keyboard settings on the second machine - without having to copy them manually? Thanks!

    Freehand MX quits when launched

    I'm having a problem where Freehand MX quits immediately after I launch it. The following message appears: "The application Freehand MX has unexpectedly quit" Any ideas on how to fix this - maybe a reinstall?

    Why are InDesign files so huge and slow?

    Thanks for the tips guys - I also have to start work on a magazine soon. But yeah, I think I've encountered a similar prob with a large annual report in the past. The "save as" technique worked for me in the past.

    Can you copy Appearances?

    I have an object with multiple strokes (attributes palette) - is it possible to copy these attributes to another object - I cant seem to be able to do this. Furthermore can I make a swatch/style of these attributes - so that I may apply this style to objects with ease. Thanks!

    Indesign 2.0.1 Page Numbers

    But what if you want to be able to edit master page elements which appear on document pages? (for example - changing the colour of a page number) They always seem to be locked. Do you just have to create multiple master pages for each variation of aforementioned elements?

    How do you like to use Layers in InDesign?

    ^^^ On hundred layers in your Freehand documents!! What are you, some sort of map-drawing and diagram maniac?! (thanks for the tips)

    Illustrator Interface Improver??

    Yeah, and pressing "F" allows you to cycle through the different viewing modes. Same commands apply in PShop.

    eyedropper

    Try embedding your image (links palette). Works fine for me, but I'm working in CS. Good luck

    Clipping path is not importing into Illustrator

    Sorry, I've worked it out. The file has to be an EPS if one wants to import a clipping path. Solved!

    Clipping path is not importing into Illustrator

    I've placed into Illustrator a tif which has a clipping path in it, however the image appears with the white background remaining. What am I doing wrong ? It is possible to import an image with a clipping path, isn't it? Thanks again!
