    trouble w/ links in pop up menu

    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...

    getting foreign accent symbols--urgent!

    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...

    help--my font menus are gone!

    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...

    is there a way to bring in a Word table intact?

    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...

    pdf from quark through Distiller 5.0; not embedding fonts

    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...

    stoopid question, but save me some time: not underlining links?

    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!

    How to edit data when creating graphs?

    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...

    What'd they do to the exclude command???

    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...

    linking Photoshop files to download???

    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...

    Controlling size of "target: blank" command?

    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?

    Wacky behavior using image map w/ show/hide layers

    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...

    Don't make my dumb mistake!

    Okay, this is probably obvious to the whole world execpt me, but I just spent two days trying to figure out why my pages weren't showing the changes when I uploaded them to the server....I was forgetting to send over the revised .css definitions! So I was doing all kinds of things, looked fine...

    why can't I control where the cell dividers of my tables go?

    I'm working on a site that has to be handicapped accessible, which means I can't use my beloved layers. So I'm trying to do the whole thing using a table to control the layout. But whenever I split a cell or row & then try to move the borders to set the size, the border jumps right back where it...

    Can't get tabloid paper to print correctly

    I'm using a PS RIP software w/ the cp1700 printer. They don't give you a paper size choice of tabloid!! There's every other oddball size under the sun, but no tabloid. If I set it to custom & entr the dimensions, it will only print on about the top 1/4 of the page. If I try to trick it & put in...

    Placed file: link or embed???

    I'm new to Illus. 9--have been very reluctant to upgrade from my beloved 6 (yes, SIX!!), after which they ruined everything. Now I have 9 at my office. When I tell it to place a PS eps image, I would normally link it. I get a message telling me it won't print correctly. Is this just referring to...

    Bringing up PS fonts in PM on a PC--need ATM?

    Hey, look at all the "P" abbreviations! ha ha. Seriously, though, I'm used to working on a Mac (in Quark to be honest, but PM seems very similar). A co-worker wants me to set up a blank PM file on her PC so she can put in text for a simple little quarterly newsletter. I can put the...

    Okay, here's the story. I'm a graphic designer, using a Mac. I work in a department of all PC users. They want me to design some templates that they can put into a Word document & print off their printers to make copies (small newsletters, etc.). I have never worked with Word, & don't know how...

    Unordered lists are losing CSS formatting...

    SO annoying...if I set of list of items as an unordered list, the CSS formatting changes; still says it's set to the style, but (in Navigtor) show the default font/size/color instead of the CSS style. The code for each item reads as: <li class=&quot;text&quot;>text here</li> I have to go in...
