How do you keep strokes, etc, from changing when copying & pasting?

I am sure there is a simple solution to this problem, but I cannot figure it out and could use some help.  I have a graphic in one InDesign document (ID CS4 - using Windows XP Pro) and when I try to copy and paste it into another ID doc, it completely changes the strokes and fills.  It usually does the opposite of what is in the graphic (this happens with every graphic I try this with).  So if I have a circle that is stroke only, when I copy and paste it, it comes in with no stroke and a fill.  I have to use these graphics between documents frequently and some of them are complicated, making it difficult to spend the time correcting this problem.  When I tried adding the graphic to a library, it did the same thing.  It also changed it when I moved one page to another document.  Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening and how to make it stop? 
Thanks,
GS

Thanks for the reply.  While it wasn't the preferences, I did find a link on the link you included in your answer that led me to the solution.
The problem was conflicting object styles.  The solution was to load the object style from the doc that included the graphic into the doc that I wanted to place the graphic in.  Then when I copy & paste, the graphic comes in perfectly.  The only problem is if there are other graphics in that doc, but now that I know there is an issue with object styles, I can pay attention to it as I design.
I can always count on the forum for great answers!

  • How do I keep table relations from Numbers when copying them to Pages ?

    I have two tables within Numbers (because I need two different formats) and have connected them with a formula in Numbers. This works fine.
    But when I copy the two tables to a Pages document, the link between the tables is broken, i.e. if I modify a value in table 1, the corresponding value in table 2 is not modified.
    What can I do to keep the link between the tables inside Pages ?
    Bernhard

    Question asked and answered many times.
    There is no link between tables in Pages.
    Build your complete document in a Numbers Sheet and the problem will be solved.

    Try and activate either track # column, or album column header.

    My wife has the same problem. I believe I found the solution. Activate "do not disturb" in settings - do not disturb - manual. Make sure to also go to allow calls from and set it to no one. A moon will appear in the status bar. You will see notifications of missed calls but it does not interrupt Pandora. Let me know if this works for you.

  • How do you stop your kid from changing the plan?

    I can't actually call a number? There's none listed on this site. I need to stop my kid from changing the plan from 3 gig to 10 bc I can't afford it and I'm going to end up canceling the service if I can't get help. They shouldn't be able to do this. I e had nothing but problems from the start. First getting a used iPad and used phone out of the 3 and being locked out bc the previous owner had I tunes passwords on the phone and on the iPad. Then I was told I was signing up for the next plan and that wasn't so now I have a crapload of extra charges because I can't get ahold of anyone to try to fix this. I'm so frustrated I could blow up!!!

    Put a passcode on the account. That way, he will have to know the passcode to change the plan. If he doesn't know the passcode, he can't change the account.

  • How do I keep my images from moving when extending or contracting in browser?

    Can anyone tell me if there is a solution to keeping multiple images from moving as the size of the browser is made larger or smaller.  I am in the jewelry business and when I have multiple images, and a customer makes the browser window larger or smaller, it of course moves the images out of position and mixes everything up on different lines.  As opposed to a site like Bluenile.com which images stay stationary as the browser window moves.  I did try to make all my images on "one image" in Photoshop and that does seem to do what I want as far as the images go, but then I cant add links to individual pictures within that page.  Please help !
    One of my pages is http://www.milesgoldberg.com/Gentsbandsspecific.html
    This is one when I extend or contract the window, the content gets all mixed up.
    Now look at http://http://www.bluenile.com/wedding-rings/mens-wedding-rings
    If you extend or contract the window, the content stays in place.

    You're using a liquid layout based on percentages that resizes with browser viewport.  As Ned said, a fixed width Table would be one approach.  Another would be to use a Fixed Width CSS grid like this one (view page source to see the code)

  • The icons on my Google toolbar keep changing position and the stock indicators (7 of them) all lose their original references and point to Nasdaq. How do I keep my settings from changing like this?

    I recently added the Google toolbar to Firefox and set it up the way I had it using IE with my favorite web sites followed by 7 stock indicators each pointing to a different company. I have this on two separate computers and in both cases the order of the icons changed and the stock indicators all changed to point to Nasdaq. I corrected this on my system at home but do not know at this time whether it has happened again.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Over this past weekend.

    Firefox 8 comes out Nov 8, look for it on the 9th unless you like to try all day to see if Help>About shows an update. Actually if your anxious try mozilla.com on the 8th.

  • How do you keep bottom columns from overlapping another div

    I am using DW CS3 and am following instructions on making first web page everything is fine till I get to positioning the columns at the bottom of page when i try and set a css rule to position left column the column overlaps the previous div the instructions i am using are from adobe http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_cs4_website_pt2_08.html here is the code that I have up to the point that I put in the rule for the left column for the design page   
    <div id="container">
       <div id="banner"></div>
       <div id="main_image></div>
       <div id="left_column">Content for id"left_column" Goes Here</div>
       <div id="column_container">
           <div id="right_column">Content for id"right_column" Goes Here</div>
           <div id="center_column">Content for id"center_column" Goes Here</div>
       </div>
    </div>
    On the CSS page that is attached to it the code is as follows:
    #container  {
    width:  968 px;
    background:  FFFFFF;
    margin:  0 auto:
    padding-left:  10px:
    padding-right:  10px:
    overflow:  hidden;
    #banner  {
    background-image:  url(images/banner.gif);
    height:  100px;
    width:  968px;
    #main_image  {
    background-image:  url(images/main.jpg);
    height:  376px;
    width:  968px;
    and then I am suppossed to do a box with width of 316 and float left when I do this it floats left and goes down in size but also goes up into the top of my main image why is this happening?

    Zabberwan is correct  :-)   If the basic css is not written correctly, the page will not display as intended.  You are using a colon (:) instead of a semi-coon (;) to close off the style rule... in addition, the #hash tag was missing from the background rule.
    This is what your code should look like before proceeding with the next step of the tutorial:

  • How do you keep junk mail from appearing even after I have hit the "junk" button when it appeared the first time?

    I have several email accounts that come to my mac.   When junk appears I hit the junk button.   Does it take awhile to train the junk or is there a way to set up mail so that it automatically goes to junk and does not appear at all in my inbox?
    It's so time consuming to get rid of this stuff.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Grammynancy

    Hello, it does take time to train it.
    You can setup rules if there's any constancy, like I find that 99.999% of mail from yahoo is junk, so I have a Rule setup to just get rid of it permanently, I never see them at all...
    But you could have it be If Subject contains Ciagra, Perform the following functions, Mark as Junk... or whatever.

  • How do I keep my background from changing every time I log out an than back into my sign in?

    My account is the head account for our iMac. I just added a sign-on for my brother an ever since adding him it never fails. Every time I log out and than back into my account my background goes to that ugly space swirly background as opposed to the pic of my daughter. I've never had this probably prior to adding that new account. And prior to this my husband has his own sign in and we also have a guest account. So, I don't know why this would be changing my background every time! Really frustrating! Thanks for your help!

    Linc, I have seven user accounts on my machine and they all experience the same issue. What I have noticed is that if an account is the only one logged in the selected picture is retained. If any other account is logged in the next user to login sees the default desktop picture. Automatic login is not enabled. This leads me to believe the bug is not limited to automatic logins. It will be intersting to see what happens when 10.9.1 hits the street.
    There also seem to be several other threads reporting this behavior.

  • How to stop size of JTextField from changing when I change font to bold

    I'm working on a Sudoku solver for a CS project. I've got JTextFields for the input. I want to bold the entries of the begining puzzle, like they are in the magazines. When I set the font to bold, it changes the size of the text field. I'm using the gridbaglayout and have tried everything to set in stone the size of a text field, but nothing seems to work. I've set the maximum, minimum size, the setSize method, as well as setting the prefered size. But no matter, when I change the font from plain to bold, the box grows in size. How do I prevent this from happening. I can post my gui code if it would help.
    Here is a link to my grid, with the upper left square having bold text:
    http://12.227.129.113/CS486/Project4/Project4.html

    add them to panel/s set as a gridlayout 9 x 9, or (3 x 3) x (3 x 3)
    simple demo of a 9 x 9
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    class Testing extends JFrame
      JTextField[] tf = new JTextField[81];
      public Testing()
        setLocation(200,100);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(9,9,5,5));
        for(int x = 0, y = tf.length; x < y; x++)
          tf[x] = new JTextField(2);
          tf[x].setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER);
          p.add(tf[x]);
        tf[0].setFont(tf[0].getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD));
        tf[0].setText("9");
        tf[1].setText("3");
        tf[66].setFont(tf[66].getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD));
        tf[66].setText("9");
        getContentPane().add(p);
        pack();
      public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}
    }
