I find out how to accomplish this. Its relatively easy. 1. Create your text as normal, then highlight it. 2. In the Hyperlinks palette, select "New Hyperlink from URL". ID will create a hyperlink. 3. Double-click on the hyperlink from within the Hyperlink palette, and that opens the...

Ok. I figured out how to do this. I'll post what I did here so that it can help someone else out. This is for CS2 version. 1. Create your text as normal, then highlight it. 2. In the Hyperlinks palette, select "New Hyperlink from URL". ID will create a hyperlink. 3. Double-click on the...

Hi, I'm also a newbie and I just finished how to work with Page Numbers. To format your page numbers correctly, you'll need to checkout ID's Section feature. The way it works is you goto your Page Layout toolbar and click on the page that you want your Page Numbering section to begin on...

One more thing I think I should mention. The reason I need to link to these files is because I'm shipping my ID document on a CD, which contains these external files. My goal is to have my ID document link to the files (like PDF and ZIP) from this CD. Is this an impossible dream within InDesign?

Hi, I asked this question a few days ago, but I don't think I asked it correctly. Is there a way within an InDesign document to launch a separate file? For example, if I have files called "C:\Company\FileA.pdf" and "C:\Company\ZipFile1.zip", can I create a "link" in my InDesign document to...

Hi, I've created a User's Manual in InDesign. I have a series of "links" on a particular page that is really text that looks like links. Here's the action I'm trying to create. When the user clicks on the link, I'd like to open a particular file so the user can look at it. Some files are...

Hi kmcferrin, Thanks. I come from the software development side of the land and now I'm trying to learn more about the hardware side of things - especially PCBs. I think I get what you're trying to say. The manufacturer has basically called dibs on these particular jumper settings and...

Hi, I haven't delved into hardware in some time. I'm reviewing the principles of Overclocking and I have a question. I understand that Overclocking can also be accomplished by jumpering various pens on the motherboard, however, where does the use of the "Reserved" word come and what does it...

Thanks for the response, SlimJohnD. I actually have InDesign already, but I don't know all of the mechanics of using it. I'm trying to wrap up a manual that I did with PageMaker and I'm a newbie to that. Once I get my training materials, then I will move on over to InDesign. Thanks, soho34

Hi, I'm not sure if I can do this, but here goes. Imagine I have a regular paragraph that has a style defined on it called "Body Text". Now, within that paragraph, I have a URL reference. I want the URL to stand out so of course, I'd like to apply a different style to it - maybe something...

Thanks, jmgalvin. I tried the feature with a Bookmark, and I got that to export to a PDF just as you said. I think I need to pickup a InDesign manual before I go much further. I need to import a PageMaker manual into InDesign to resume my updates and then I'll start to create the links...

Hi, I am very new to InDesign. I will actually begin using it soon - since it replaces PageMaker. But I have a question. I'm responsible for creating my company's documentation, including manuals. One of the features of this manual is to have a user click on a page number from the table...

I figured out how to do this if anyone's wondering. Instead of creating for separate lines to make my rectangle, I used the regular Shapes tool to make a standard rectangle and then used the Distort tool until I received the look I wanted. A warning, though, it was very tedious. Hope this...

Hi, I have played with Fireworks on/off for a couple of years, but still consider myself a novice. I'm not a designer, but am teaching myself Fireworks. I thought this was a relatively easy thing to do. I would like to fill an object I created with a color. Here are the steps I'm using to...

Hi BabyJeffy, Thanks so much for your reply. However, I'm still getting an "Object Expected" Error. Here's what I currently have: function DisableEnableLinks(){ //grab the link number of the Restrict link var rnum = document.getElementById("clrestrict").innerHTML; alert("rnum = " +...
