    Autoformatting (?) text in CS4 - can't undo

    Help! I'm freelancing, taken over an InDesign doc from someone and every time I type a certain phrase it formats it into bold. It's nothing to do with Paragraph or Character styles, and I can't change it into the font I want from the character menu. What's going on? I've looked into nested...

    Dotted lines in Illustrator

    Is there an option to make dotted lines like there is in InDesign? I know about dashed lines in the stroke palette but I'm looking for something similar to "Japanese Dots".

    formatting graphs

    I am trying to set up a number of graphs all with the same y axis values. However, the graph data means that Illustrator makes the graphs different (see attachment for a better idea – one goes up to 60, one to 30, one to 80 etc). Is there a way of pre-defining the y-axis values so that all the...

    Saving back from Quark 6 to 4.1

    I'm stuck – I have to get some files to someone who's only got Quark 4.1 or InDesign CS3, and my files only exist in Quark 6. Anything I can do to get them in a format the client can use? Any help gratefully received.

    Info Palette in CS3 not working

    For some reason the info palette has decided to stop showing ppi information and word count. It's completely blank. I had this problem in CS2 and found a patch for it, but I've had a look on Adobe Forums and in the archive here but can't find anything useful. Any advice gratefully received.

    clipping multiple objects

    Is it possible to use multiple objects as a clipping path? I've tried grouping them and that doesn't work. Any advice gratefully received.

    Splitting table cell over page

    Help! Impending deadline looms... How do you stop InDesign moving the whole cell of text over to the next page if it's too long to fit on the current page? IT's leaving me with horrible gaps everywhere. Thank you!

    2 consecutive page numbers on one page

    Is it possible to use automatic page numbering to make 2 consecutive page numbers appear on one page? For example, I want page numbers 2 and 3 to appear on my left hand page (as 2|3). Hope thismakes sense, any help gratefully received.

    Tables and text flow

    Please help! I'm doing a 100+ page document which has tables dispered throughout it. I want to be able to link the tables to the text so that when I edit the text the tables stay in the right place. Is it best to create the tables in another programme and import them as images? If so, how...

    mighty mouse not scrolling down

    It will scroll every other way, but refuses to scroll down a page. Is it likely to be a hardware or a software issue? Any help gratefully received. Thanks

    quark prefences

    Quark is running slow and keeps crashing, and I think that maybe I should trash the preferences (because that's what I've read here before). I don't know what I'm doing, though, and hope someone can explain to me exactly what to do and maybe also explain why it helps. Many thanks in advance.

    I don't know what I've done but I've got weird black boxes appearing on all my applications and on the desktop. For some reason my scrolling doewn't seem to work properly. Any ideas? I'd really appreciate them...

    cookies in safari?

    REALLY sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I need help! I'm leaving a job and want to get rid of any traces of my internet use (nothing dodgy, just hours of boredom leading to random searches I don't particularly want them to know about). In Google whenever I start to type a search word, it...

    trapping

    Hi there Can anyone explain to me in simple terms what trapping is in Quark. For example, I have pale blue writing over a very dark TIFF. What should I set the trapping to? Presumably knockout? But what does "auto amount +" and "auto amount -" do? Cheers all (using quark 6.5 on latest Mac OSX)

    type as clipping path

    I'm having a bad day and can't work this out – I want to use type as a clipping path. I've converted it to outlines, and got my background (a series of colour boxes making a stripe pattern) and I want the text to act as a clipping path for it (so the text ends up stripey). I've grouped both...

    palettes stuck

    I'm running CS2 on the latest osx and my palettes keep getting "stuck" – I can't move them, hide or turn them off, and none of the functions work. This happens in all CS2 applications and Quark... Is it a problem with the OS? How can I stop it happening?

    palettes stuck

    I'm using photoshop CS2 on the latest Mac OSX, and for some reason the palettes occasionally become "stuck" – e.g. the layers palette won't let me move it, nor minimize or shut it using the red, amber and green dots at the top. Is this a problem that can be sorted out with a patch? Thanks guys
