I posted previously about inconsistent behavior in InDesign while trying to implement a paragraph style containing Drop Caps, but no one replied. Hmmmm. Still need help, approaching drop deadline, and I'm worried. To review: I place some text from a word document, then select it and click on...

I am designing a 32-page catalog for a literary press. I want to use Drop caps in the excerpts which appear on each page, and I would like this to be uniform and consistent. However, I'm only having about 50% success at transforming the first character ( sometimes two characters, when a...

Somewhere along the line I have seen how to apply a Gradient as a Layer Mask. Now I've forgotten the technique used. Can anyone tell me the steps to implement? "The learning curve is a MYTH! Learning in this industry is represented best by a right angle..."

I should know the answer to these questions, but alas, I do not. I often experience my students in the Intro to Illustrator course I teach trying to perform the equivalent of 'erasing', like one can do in Photoshop. Short of removing anchor points, I never have a good answer for them about how...

When creating onMouseover's in Dreamweaver, I've encountered the problem of the functions and variables basically being designated as the same 'name', when attempting to include multiple SEPERATE rollover events on a single page of HTML. Although I have some familiarity with JavaScript, it...

O.K., I'm having a big problem with Pagemaker 7.0 and importing image files: they all lose resolution and quality and PLACE horribly degraded. Doesn't matter what file format I use, EPS, TIF, GIF, JPEG, BMP. End result = GARBAGE. I cannot recall facing this troubleshooting difficulty with...

My wife is running Pagemaker 7.0 on Windows 98 platform, and encountering a problem that has me stumped. When trying to print a menu for her cafe, black rectangle objects appear on the print-out near the bottom of the page. In Actual View, no such objects "seem" to exist; no...

Much to my surprise and amazement I've discovered a co-worker here has been routinely "saving" screenshots as GIF's in Paint Shop Pro and receiving results that are optimized and compressed far greater than I can manage with even Fireworks 4.0! There are no settings or choices...

This is my second post of this question, which either means no one knows for certain, or no one cares? I can't seem to get an answer from Quark, so I am hopeful someone here will hold the answer to this basic query. If I can run it on ME, I'm going to purchase a copy, along with a Laser...

Does anyone know specifically if Quark Xpress will run on Windows ME? It does not explicitly state this on the Quark site, and when I sent this simple question to their email tech support, I received back a very non-helpful 3 or 4 page long 'archive' of 'known issues', none of which seem to...

I am deliberating purchase of new prepress layout software for print publication(s), and am trying to decide between Quark Xpress, or Adobe's InDesign or Pagemaker 7.0. I currently run Pagemaker 6.5 on Windows ME edition, but frequently encounter odd problems with the Distiller. I've tried to...

Well, Adobe is at it again....confusing the issue and never providing germane details at their website. I was surprised to discover 'Pagemaker 7.0' as a new product listing. Drilling down on the 'features' gives you absolutely nothing to work with; they are, more and more, providing...

I am having a consistent problem printing a PDF project, and it goes like this: original native file format is a Word document. When distilling this document and optimizing for print or press publication, the print job will stop EVERYTIME at those places in the document where table cells are...

Here's the deal: I have a 'mock-up' order template online (see at: http://www.affairs-chocolate.com/TechnoPrimitiv_Site/testtemplate_two.htm) which is 2/3 of the way to where I want it to be: it sends a reply to the web browser/user, and it emails a copy of the data submitted. It fails to keep...

Okay. A week has passed while I have struggled to get a handle on building a simple preloader for a Flash 4 movie. Several persons have attempted to help, including davdesign and oldnewbie, prominent participants in this forum. I haven't yet had the opportunity to implement davdesign's most...

Okay. I give up. I have to ask for help. I've tried to mimic every @*^&@! "preloader' .fla I can find "out there", and still can't get it to work right. Here's the situation: I have an animated gif. It's 40 frames in length. I want it to be the 'preloader' sequence. My...

If you are either just learning PageMaker 6.5 Plus, or in fact are quite attached to and quasi-dependent upon this application, you should know what may lay ahead for PM: PM 6.5 Plus is looking very much like the end of the line for PageMaker. The 'word' is that Adobe is not going to continue...

It's like a graveyard in this thread, but here goes nothing: my new version of PS 6.0 runs fine...with one exception. Everytime I attempt to zoom in with magnifying lens, within one or two clicks the monitor begins to be filled with irregular blocks and globs of black and gray and zigzaggy...

Okay....I know I'm speaking to an empty audience in here...but the Adobe User to User Forum is worthless...kind of like a 'Read Only' file....so what's a body to do, huh? But the question of the hour is: how do you crop an illustration to reduce it's file size prior to opening it in another...

I can't seem to determine how to throw a simple 3D Emboss effect onto a pie chart using Illustrator 9.0. It must be possible, right? I mean there's capacity for all kinds of absurd effects under Distort & Transform ('Punk & Bloat'....now there's one you might use everyday, huh? )...
