PROBLEM. Inserting Index topic in CS4 causes text to shift; it shouldn't certainly?

I have a document created in CS3 and if I open it in CS4 and insert an index entry at a point in a paragraph, the text actually flows and does not remain unchanged, as it should have. It never did this in CS3. The paragraph in question was set to -10 on the AV tracking.

> How is one to maintain long book projects across upgrades without the text

You're best off finishing a book in the version it started in. Start new
books in the new version. This was true going from CS2 to CS3 as well
(and probably in previous upgrades too).
I know it feels like a PITA, but Adobe actually made some important
changes in H&J going from CS3 to CS4. If they had to maintain your text
wrap forever, they would never be able to fix the problems.

  • Problem insert media flv dreamweaver cs4 cs5

    Hello
    im creating website and something happen and now when i inset media FLV it doesn't. it shows many buttons like 4 play buttons, 4 pause buttons.

    Hi
    I'm writing because exactly the same thing happened to me on my G5 PowerMac in DW CS4. I've read a few other threads where Adobe haven't managed to solve the problem yet have somehow managed to close the threads. Is this; trying to brush the problem under the carpet a bit?
    Anyhow, just before the same issue happened to me, I got an error message that when it came up I thought to take a snapshot of it which I enclose below. Additionally I had downloaded a newer copy of iTunes and also VLC softwares just prior to this annoying problem starting.
    In the past, I was advised by Adobe to put the plist prefs in the bin, then not actually empty the bin but make a new installation so these would get re-made and possibly cause problems to get fixed. So far I haven't done this yet but have made a new installtion of DW CS4 but this problem still exists.
    So my message is to any senior Adobe DW specialist reading this;  Can you fix this?  Do you know what is causing it to happen? How best to make a complete installation of DW so that we can get this glitch fixed please? Should we delete the prefs as well?
    My FLV file was made in Squeeze software by the way, but has the icon from VLC as I like to open up the FLVs in this software.

  • Problem generating index with 2th level in cs4

    Windows XP sp 3 - Indesign CS4 601
    When generating an index with a 1st and a 2th level, in the 2th level the entry of the 1st entry is always repeated.
    E.g. the index should look as this:
    text     75
         capitalized     76
         import     78
    word     105
         language     108
         meaning     109
    But actually the index looks as this:   
    text     75
         textcapitalized     76
         textimport     78
    word     105
         wordlanguage     108
         wordmeaning     109
    Is this a bug, or is there a solution for it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Oops!
    Just tested the script.
    I run it, and I get the script alert 'All Done' at the end.
    But nothing happens.
    This is what I do:
    - I generate the index.
    - I select the index with the text tool (select all or just put the textcursor somewhere in the index makes no difference).
    - I run the script
    - I get the message 'all done', but there is no difference. The problem persists.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks anyway.

  • VBA script for automatically indexing topics

    A big disadvantage with InDesign's indexing system is that you cannot automatically index all occurences of topics currently in the index.
    Instead, you have to find an occurence of each topic in the document itself and go to the Index menus and then click New Page Reference...Add All, for each index topic individually.
    To get around this, I have been trying to produce a VBA script to automatically index all occurrences in a document of the topics currently in the document index.
    I have been using the MS Excel VBA development environment but find the definitions of the object model in the Excel VBA browser rather inadequate and ambiguous .
    Is there a more thorough reference work for these?
    The plan was to start by taking each individual topic in the index which I tried to access with something along the lines of:
    MyDocument.Index.Topic(1)
    This hasn't worked.
    The plan then was to take each index topic and use it to find an occurence in the document of that topic and then use that occurence to invoke the New Page Reference...Add All option to index all occcurences of that selected term, using something like:
    MyDocument.PageReferences.Add
    Again, without success.
    Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Dear Peter,
    Many thanks for your posting, that was very helpful.
    This is the state of the script so far (I have added a large number of MsgBox entries - these aren't needed, they are just for debugging purposes during development):
    'VBA script which tries to work through all of the topics in the index and automatically index each occurence of them in the current text frame:

    If MyInDesign.Documents.Count > 0 Then

    Else
        MsgBox ("Please open a document, select an object, and try again.")
    End If
    End Function
    There are a couple of problem areas still:
    1. Index terms appear to be added irrespective of whether or not that particular page reference already exists in the index.
    This can result in duplicate page references under each topic - especially if the script is run several times.
    Is there any way of avoiding these duplicate references?
    2. I haven't yet suceeded in getting the script to generate the index - so far I've had to do it manually after the script has run.
    The problem lies somewhere in the code to set up the index options and then generate the index.
    3. It might be useful to be able to limit the indexing to the curent story rather than the whole document - but I haven't yet got it to do that.
    Best wishes.

  • Problem with index in merged projects

    Dear Sir,
    I have a problem with index in the master project, I can only
    view the master project index keywords under the index tab. My
    master project contains 2 topics besides the other sub projects. I
    have created index for all sub projects indvidually and at the end
    I created the master project index.
    I made sure that the 'Binary Index' flag is ticked before
    compilation and stil the problem is on, do somebody know what could
    be the problem.

    Hi,
    Two points here.
    Firstly, you can duplicate SSL's. (Right click on an SSL in
    the projects sub-directory and select the duplicate layout option.
    This will give you a copy of the original SSL).
    I tend to have two SSL's - one is local and I use that every
    time I test compile the project when I'm working on it.
    The other is set to output to the master project. I use that
    once I'm happy with the sub-project and start working with the
    master project.
    Second point is to be aware of how RoboHelp treats the
    imported/merged .chm files from the sub projects.
    It imports them into the main project master directory - then
    when the master project is compiled it puts a copy of them into the
    master project SSL. However, if you re-compile it doesn't overwrite
    the files that are already in the master project SSL directory.
    This is why you have to be aware of where the sub project
    .chm files are going - you need to make sure that if you revise the
    sub projects, a fresh copy of the .chm files ends up in the output
    SSL directory of the master project.

  • Text knockout CS4 - white text on black urgent

    I am having problems with some white text (converted to paths) which is placed on a black background.. When viewing the pdf in Illustrator (CS4), the text shows up fine. When viewing in Acrobat (which the printers will print from), the white text has disappeared. This only applies to some of the text  the rest is fine.  I need to set the white text not to overprint, but in the attributes box it isnt giving me the option to uncheck 'overprint'. Its grayed out. Where can I do this?
    many thanks!

    I don't think that's case, Peter. It looks the OP violated Dov Isaacs' first rule of PDF: Thou shalt not utilize Illustrator as a general purpose PDF editor.
    The text, if I'm right was converted in ID.
    If I'm wrong...well, nevermind.

  • Problem inserting flash from flash 8

    I am using flash 8 and dreamweaver 8. When I place a flash

    set at default. Thanks for any help.

    This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
    That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
    1)  Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters?  If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
    2)  Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file.  Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
    3)  When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server?  Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?

  • Problem Inserting Flash Video (flv) File into Site

    Hi -
    I'm having problems inserting a Flash Video (.flv) into my webpage.  I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
    I'm going to: Insert -  Media - Flash Video, browsing to the .flv file that's in my local site folder, entering the settings.
    In Dreamweaver, there's a big gray box w/ flv icon in the middle.  But when I go to preview, the screen is empty, no video.
    I'm creating the .flv file w/ Screen Mimic (a screen capture recording software).  This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.  This is the first video that I've made that I'm trying to insert. 
    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative.
    thanks!

  • Problems with placing pdfs in CS4

    I recently upgraded to CS4. I am having a problem when I place a pdf into indesign CS4. When I place the pdf the size of the pdf is changing. For example I am trying to place a pdf that is 3.5 in by 4.75 in. When I place it in CS3 it keeps it that same size. When I place it into CS4 it changes the size to 4.515 in by 6.125 in. I looked at preferences and import options. I've searched for it and I can't figure out how to fix this.

    No problems like that here on CS4.
    Are you placing into an existing frame or onto a blank page (creating a new frame for the placed PDF)?
    If this is going into an existing frame, check the settings on the frame to see if that is causing the unexpected scaling.
    -mt
    PS:  from the numbers supplied, it sounds like the content of the existing frame is set to 129% instead of 100%.  That could be casued by the fitting settings mentioned by below.

  • Problems with Indexing and Classification

    hi KM Gurus,
    We faced some problems in Indexing and Taxonomies for which I would like to know the solution/reason.
    (1) We tried providing query based classification in which the query condition which is based on the "Content" alone worked for us. Whenever we tried specifying conditions based on "file extension" or "title", it didn't work out. Did that work for anybody else?
    (2) Also we are not able to get any proper info about the various options that are available while creating a query based classification. For example, there are two options like "title" and "string title". But we donno the difference b/n the two. If it works out we can find the difference. But it is not working too. So we are not able to find the difference between the two.
    (3) And I tried setting the crawler parameter of my own instead of the standard crawler. But the index was found to be inactive when i set that to my crawler and it worked fine with the standard crawler. I am not able to make it active. Any clues behind this?
    Expect all your guidance and help.
    best regds,
    alagammai.

    Hi Alagammai,
    concerning issues (1) and (2).
    Normally the mentioned properties are displayed as 'Name' and 'Namme as String'.
    These two properties are(in most cases) the title of the document.
    One is indexed  in 'Text' format. The other one in 'String' format. That results into different opportunities within the query based classification.
    'Displayname as String' can be used to sort documents alphabetically: A, B, ... into categories.
    'Displayname' allows you to do a linguistic scan on document titles.
    To separate file types I would use the property MIME-Type.
    But you may try to define a query *.doc for the property 'Name as String'.
    Regards Matthias

  • Insert an hyperlink in a mail text but the URL is too long (more than 255)

    Hi to all,
    I was asked to insert an hyperlink in a mail text. I was  thinking to use '<A href =" ' command .

Any fast solution ?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    You don't need to put the entire anchor tag contents on one line in the table before you append it to the body contents.  The reading application (Outlook, etc.) knows the entire tag contents based on the open/close of the tag.  I often chunk up my anchor tags like that via text elements so they're easier to read in the code.  Though you can't really see it, this is an anchor tag:
      begin_table 0.
      begin_row.
      begin_cell 100.
      gs_email_contents-line = text-s03.
      append_content.
      gs_email_contents-line = text-s04.
      append_content.
      gs_email_contents-line = text-s05.
      append_content.
      end_cell.
      end_row.
      end_table.

  • Typing in the index box doesn't scroll the index topics

    This has been a bug for quite a while (v5?).  We are using v7 now.  We have a large help system.  Generating WebHelp with RoboHelp for Word.  We are calling context help using the Robohelp_CSH.cpp function RH_ShowHelp().  What we are seeing is that when the user types into the index box (where it says 'Type in the keyword to find'), the list of index topics doesn't scroll to what the user is typing.  If we run the help 'standalone' by double clicking on the 'root' .htm file, it works fine.  We have users that find this very offensive.  One actually got a hold of the president of the company and gave him 'an earfull' about it.  Called us incompetent, etc.  I downloaded the trial of v9 to see if it had been corrected.  But it hasn't.  Has anyone seen this?  Is there a fix?

    Hi there
    I bit the bullet, downloaded the app and installed it. I do see what you mean by the index not scrolling automagickally as it would with basic WebHelp being presented in a standard browser. But I note that what is happening is you appear to have WebHelp but being somehow presented using a custom viewer? I think we need more information about exactly how this viewer is working with the content.
    What type of help is this? I know you said that you are using RoboHelp for Word, meaning that you are making edits using Microsoft Word and creating output from that. But what happens once you create the WebHelp? I see that you have a gob of content out in the RSU.Help folder. I also note that if I find and double-click the page named: rsu.htm that WebHelp loads and the Index works just fine and scrolls as you would expect.
    So I can only conclude that the issue really isn't with what RoboHelp is producing, but more what your developers may be doing with the help once they link it to the application. I guess my analogy would be that you are stuffing a working product into a crate and the process of stuffing it into the crate is causing breakage.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Index Topic markers have gone invisible.

    Hello,
    I have a document that refuses to show the Index Topic markers. I have tried exporting the document to INX and back to .indd but that didn't help. Show hidden characters (Alt+Ctrl+I) is enabled but the markers do not show up in the usual layout view or in the story editor. I can see that the entries are really there by looking at Index palette, but this is a PITA because it makes it difficult to tell what text has been marked as a topic and what hasn't.
    I also tried deleting all the entries, copying the entire story, pasting it into a new document, and adding new entries. Strangely enough, that didn't work either.
    WinXP SP2

    Looks like I'm going to have to copy all of the text to notepad and back to a new ID doc. I will have to apply the paragraph styles manually, drop in the graphics and everything. Probably the fastest solution at this point.
