How to save the current Indesign defaults file?

Hi, I've tried following the Indesign Classroom in a book but I find it left a lot to be desired for anyone new to this e.g ME!!!!. So can someone please tell me how I can save the current InDesign defaults file on a windows and if you can please do so like you would, for lack of a better word or term, an idiot because I'm fitting that description pretty well right now. Any help will be greatly appreciated and you will forever in my mind be a god, thank you =DDDDD.

Hi, im not too sure (I thought it was a stock standard thing, sorry) so I'll fust give you the instructions my book has.
To save the curren InDesign Defaults file, Follow these steps:
1, Quit Adobe InDesigns CS5.
2, Locate The Indesigns Defaults file.
     . In Windows, the InDesign Defaults file is located in the Documents and Settings/Users/Username/Library/ Application Data/ Adobe/ InDesign/ Version 7.0/en_US folder.
3, Drag the Indesign Defaults file to another folder on you hard drive.
When you launch Adobe Indesign CS5 after moving the InDesigns Defaults file to another folder, a new InDesign Defaults file is automatically created and all prefrences and defaults are reset to their original factory setting.
Okay that's all of it and as far I can get is to the app data, for some reason my notebook doesnt have it and I've been trying to find other ways of getting to it but im having no luck. I would really like to avoid the Ctrl+ Alt+Shift thing because I'll apparently lose any saved settings that I might want to keep.
Hopefully that all makes sense, thank you for responding and your time =3.

    Open a VI reference to the desired VI and use invoke mode with method: "Make current values default".
    The VI cannot be running, so you need to set it from a different VI. (It also means, it cannot set itself.)

  • How to save the contents of a file(not a text file)

    Hi all, I want to save the contents of a file(,png file, not a text file) as a field in a class. Shall I have it as a string or byte array or something?
    I have tried saving a file in a string but there were some problems with loading the file from a different platform. Following is my code.
            String string;
            try {
                StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(1024);
                char[] characterArray = new char[1024];
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
                while(br.read(characterArray) != -1){
                    sb.append(String.valueOf(characterArray));
                br.close();
                string= sb.toString();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }and I use the following code to recover the string back to a stream, and save that stream back to a time later.
        ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(map.getBytes());I realized that because this file is not a text file, the string could cause some problems. But anyone could tell me if I should use a byte array or someting? and how?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Jing

    You should use a byte array, and the binary streams (InputStream a& OutputStream). Never use Strings and Reader/Writer if you have binary data.

    Hi, Senthil.
    This Forum is not a general discussion forum.
    You don't believe that the InDesign SDK is a general purpose API. Do you?
    I think you must post issues like this where they belong, in this case in a Microsoft Word Forum.

    I'm not sure what DB tools you are using in LabVIEW however I was able to locate the following function that seems to accomplish what you asked about.
    DB Tools Save Recordset To File VI: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370016C-01/lvdatabase/db_tools_save_recordset_to_file/
    As far as database applications go there are several examples included in LabVIEW some of which include SQL functions as well.

    Please note that this example maybe slow at filling the excel table
    (perhaps four fields per second on a 900 MHz machine - almost 30 seconds
    for a short example).
    To get the data on properties and methods - there is a bit of smoke and mirrors
    going on here; they are EXCEL properties and methods, not sap ones - so you need
    to look at excel help to determine how a particular function is structured. then
    build the block in sap, as shown in the example.
    If you only want to transfer the data to Excel like when you transfer the data from
    ALV to Excel simply use the Function Modules:
    XXL_SIMPLE_API
    If you want more modifications when you transfer it to Excel use:
    XXL_FULL_API
    Hope this helps.
    Reward if helpful.

  • How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
    It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
    Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
    Advice much appreciated.

  • Can I access my old Pagemaker files with the current InDesign software?

    Will the current InDesign software allow me to access my older Pagemaker files?

    As pointed out, opening PM files with Indesign is not a straight forward business. Make sure the images are linked, take care for text reflows, glyphs, etc.
    Sometimes it's better to start from scratch again then to try and open the files in Indesign.

  • How to save the text from text area back to a text file?

    Hi all,
    Now I am doing a small panel which containts a JTextArea, this TextArea will read the content from a text file, then display the content of the text file on the TextArea itself.
    My idea is, allow the user to modify the content in the textarea (I set it Editable=true;), then save it. After the user press the save button, the content in the text file will be updated accordng to the user;s modification on TextArea.
    I had done the displaying part by using JavaI/O (BufferReader), now any expert here know how to update the TextArea content back to the text file itself? PLease teach me, THANKS !!!

    NOw I had manage to clear out the error, but now the problem is when I click on the 'save' button, this function clear out the entire text file for me !!!
    The code are as below:
           if(e.getSource()== vButtons[0])
              try{
               String str;
               String Ky = tArea.getText();
               BufferedWriter buffWrite=null;
               BufferedWriter in1 = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("Keyword.txt"));
                        buffWrite.write(Ky);
                    buffWrite.flush();
                        buffWrite.close();
                    in1.close();
              catch (IOException ex) {
              ex.printStackTrace();
            if(e.getSource()== vButtons[1])
                  new panel();
                  dispose();
             if(e.getSource()== vButtons[2])
                System.exit(0);           
        }     Please tell me how to save the TextArea to the text file, THANKS !!!
