I am working in PM7 in XP home. I have a document in which I want to make a new paragraph from several lines within the existing para. When I do the last line of the new paragraph wants to use the same spacing above it (actually paragraph spacing) as is below it in the following para. [I have...

Thanks, STDUC. Wow! I think I forgot all my DOS commands. I had to go to the books for a refresher, but that worked absolutely beautiful. Bill

Hi, I hope you can help. I have a lot (say about 1000) files that need to have the file extension changed from ".550" to ".tif". Is there any quick and easy way to do this without doing each one by hand? Thanks for your help, Bill

Yes, I think it does. Bill

Thanks for all the help. I think I'll have to go for the Utilities, because it doe not show up in the Trash. I think Quark must do their own 'slam-dunk.' Bill

I inadvertantly erased an important file. Is there any way to get it back. I am using Sys10 and the file was a Quark file. Thanks, Bill

Thanks again, Macropod. I will try to put this all together now that I "think" I understand. You are correct Ken, the last 4 digits are a lower level of sort and relatively useless unless a mailing has all 9 digit codes. With 9 digit codes the mail fee is less. Bill

Macropod: Thanks for that last formula, Macropod. (Sorry, your handle makes me think I'm talking to a dinosaur!) Is your formula "=TEXT(A1,IF(LEN(A1)<6,"00000","000000000"))" to convert the numeric strings to text strings? then sort by the text strings? Am I getting the concept right? thanks, Bill

Hi Ken, I was thinking the ">5" in his formula would cause it to sort out the 5 and 9 digit codes rather than intermingle them, which is what I want. Thanks, Bill

Thanks to all of you --- Walter, macropod, and Skip! Why did I not think of changing them to a alpha string!? Also the idea of using a helper column is a good option, however, it will only sort by the first 5 digits, which may be OK. I appreciate the help, Bill

I am having a problem getting Excell to sort mixed 5 digit and 9 digit. I want it to sort first by the 5 digits and then by the 9. Can this be done? Thanks for your time, Bill w.s.c@sbcglobal.net

Thanks, Eggles. Thank did it and so easy! That is a great help. Bill

I really appreciate this additional enlightenment. When you say "palette" which do you mean? Should I : do Ctrl+A (highlight all text) > Right click > select "Character" > and then where it says "color" do what you say? Also, under "Utilities" there is "Define color. . . is it here? As well as...

Thanks Eggles. I will try that, however, I kinda' hate to un-do and then re-do my whole book, but I had wondered if there was not something like that that I had missed. Oh, well! Thanks for your time. BChellberg

I am working with a small book. the MSS was prepared in Word and autoflowed into PageMaker(7.0) running in XPHome. Then several pictures that were prepared in Photoshop (CMYK) were placed into the PageMaker file. I cannot figure out why the type shows up as CMYK in the digital printer where it...

Hi, I am trying to Place some .TIF photos into a Document. All the TIFFs were made in PhotoShop CS, all are the same DPI, the PM7 document is also set to the same DPI. Some will Place OK, but others I get an error "Unsupported BitPerSample 8601:20748". What does this mean? What am I doing wrong...

Thanks, John. Sorry to be so dumb! Bill

BigJohnD, Sorry to bother you with this, but I am new to these forums. How do I get to the Thread #227-874531? A little off the subject, I know. Thanks, Bill

Thanks, BigJohnD. I suspected that what you said about PM6.5 was the case, so I have plans to get PM7.0. I am in hope that that will do the trick. Thanks for your help. BChellberg w.s.c@sbcglobal.net

I have WinXP Home, and Pagemaker 6.5. I have created a document in PM65 and when I try to place a TIF image into it I get an error message -- "Cannot Open File -- unsupported BitPerSample". What does this mean? Is there a way around it? Thanks, Bill
