    Object style x/y coordinates?

    Is there any way to define a object style with x/y coordinates? I have to manually move objects throughout a 500+ page book and didn't know if it is possible to define coordinates via an object style. Any thoughts?

    Am I missing something or do I have to manually index mark each name (of which there are over 2,000 contained in 18 chapters in the book)?

    I understand how to do the mail merge function in CS3. The roadblock I'm at is that I need to merge over 5,000 records and the csv file is set up so that multiple names are "tied" to the same ID. (e.g., ID Credit 1, John Smith 1, Joe Pains 1, Sally Data 2, Gertrude Davis 2, Darcy Person...

    How does one set a form field to do a subtraction calculation?

    I need to do a simple subtraction from another field and do not know javascript to write a code. Either I am missing something very obvious, or Acrobat did not include that math function. Subtract Discount from Subtotal field

    PDF distilled from Word - Bullets do not show

    When I create a PDF from a Word document (either from print menu via Acrobat PDF or convert to PDF from toolbar) any bullets created from the numbering list do not show on the PDF.

    Saving native files CS2

    I receive "an unknown error has occurred" when I try to save an .ai file. Destination of file doesn't matter, e.g., harddrive, network server. I can, however, save an .eps and .pdf. Have installed all known updates as of 2/7/06. Any suggestions? Creative Suite CS2, Windows XP.

    I don't know if I am missing something new in CS2 that was not a step in CS, but I can not drag column guides to create uneven column widths. Has anyone experienced (and resolved) this in CS2?
