    Can You Launch Files From within InDesign?

    Page Numbering from a book? Worried Newbie!

    Hi, I'm also a newbie and I just finished how to work with Page Numbers. To format your page numbers correctly, you'll need to checkout ID's Section feature. The way it works is you goto your Page Layout toolbar and click on the page that you want your Page Numbering section to begin on...

    Can You Launch Files From within InDesign?

    One more thing I think I should mention. The reason I need to link to these files is because I'm shipping my ID document on a CD, which contains these external files. My goal is to have my ID document link to the files (like PDF and ZIP) from this CD. Is this an impossible dream within InDesign?

    Can You Launch Files From within InDesign?

    Hi, I asked this question a few days ago, but I don't think I asked it correctly. Is there a way within an InDesign document to launch a separate file? For example, if I have files called "C:\Company\FileA.pdf" and "C:\Company\ZipFile1.zip", can I create a "link" in my InDesign document to...

    Hyperlink to External File

    Hi, I've created a User's Manual in InDesign. I have a series of "links" on a particular page that is really text that looks like links. Here's the action I'm trying to create. When the user clicks on the link, I'd like to open a particular file so the user can look at it. Some files are...

    Reserved Overclocking Ratios

    Hi kmcferrin, Thanks. I come from the software development side of the land and now I'm trying to learn more about the hardware side of things - especially PCBs. I think I get what you're trying to say. The manufacturer has basically called dibs on these particular jumper settings and...

    Reserved Overclocking Ratios

    Hi, I haven't delved into hardware in some time. I'm reviewing the principles of Overclocking and I have a question. I understand that Overclocking can also be accomplished by jumpering various pens on the motherboard, however, where does the use of the "Reserved" word come and what does it...

    Can PageMaker do a Style within a Style

    Thanks for the response, SlimJohnD. I actually have InDesign already, but I don't know all of the mechanics of using it. I'm trying to wrap up a manual that I did with PageMaker and I'm a newbie to that. Once I get my training materials, then I will move on over to InDesign. Thanks, soho34

    Can PageMaker do a Style within a Style

    Hi, I'm not sure if I can do this, but here goes. Imagine I have a regular paragraph that has a style defined on it called "Body Text". Now, within that paragraph, I have a URL reference. I want the URL to stand out so of course, I'd like to apply a different style to it - maybe something...

    Links to Other Portions of Same Document

    Thanks, jmgalvin. I tried the feature with a Bookmark, and I got that to export to a PDF just as you said. I think I need to pickup a InDesign manual before I go much further. I need to import a PageMaker manual into InDesign to resume my updates and then I'll start to create the links...

    Links to Other Portions of Same Document

    Hi, I am very new to InDesign. I will actually begin using it soon - since it replaces PageMaker. But I have a question. I'm responsible for creating my company's documentation, including manuals. One of the features of this manual is to have a user click on a page number from the table...

    How to Fill a Grouped Object with Color

    I figured out how to do this if anyone's wondering. Instead of creating for separate lines to make my rectangle, I used the regular Shapes tool to make a standard rectangle and then used the Distort tool until I received the look I wanted. A warning, though, it was very tedious. Hope this...

    How to Fill a Grouped Object with Color

    Hi, I have played with Fireworks on/off for a couple of years, but still consider myself a novice. I'm not a designer, but am teaching myself Fireworks. I thought this was a relatively easy thing to do. I would like to fill an object I created with a color. Here are the steps I'm using to...

    Hi, I have a link defined as follows: <a href="" id="clrest">Restrict</a> Now, in my JS function, I'm disabling/enabling the link as follows: document.links[2].disabled = true; However, I need to change my JS statement from referencing "2" to referencing whatever position that link happens...

    Hi, I have a session array of structures. I'd like to find the location of a value in the Structure, but ultimately, I want returned the array's row element. I haven't done this in a while and here's what I have: <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#ArrayLen(session.myArray)#"> <cfset aResults =...

    Displaying &lt;IMG&gt; on the screen

    Hi, That's ok. I figured it out. FYI. For anyone who is ever writing a tutorial or instructions and wants to literally tell the user: "Click on an <IMG> symbol, etc......" Type this: &##60;IMG&##62; instead of this: <img>...... Hope this helps. soho34
