Three Problems

I have InDesign CS3 (v. 5.0.4) installed on a Dell Latitude E6520 with i5 processor, 8 GB RAM,  Win 7 Pro 64 bit SP1.
All of a sudden, I have encountered 3 problems:
1.  I created a paragraph style called Article Title:  Palatino Linotype 18 pt, bold, evertything else standard.  The 1st time I applied it, no problem.  Thereafter, when I try to apply it, all I get is a change in color, but the point size and bold are not applied.  When I check the style definition, it is correct.  I tried trashing the preferences and starting over - but same problem.  I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what it is.
2.  The color problem also has me confused.  I added "Blue" (RGB, 0 RED, 0 Green, 255 Blue) to the swatches, and now any time I enter text (copy/paste, place or type), the text is blue.  I have to select the text and change the color.  It is as if this swatch is a default.  I can't figure out how to fix that.
3.  I have 2 layers:  Text and Graphics.  In the past I could add a Graphics layer on top of the Text layer, send the Text layer to the back, and switch between the 2 without difficulty.  Now, when I try that (click on Text object), the "Arrange" menu only shows "Bring to Front" or "Bring Forward."  In order to select the Graphics object, I have to click on the Text object, then use the Select/Next Object Below.  When the Graphics object is selected, the Arrange menu is grayed out.  I can't figure out how to fix that either.
I have been using this version of InDesign for several years without problems.  I don't understand why I have suddenley encountered these problems.
I even tried building a new document from scratch (after trashing those preferences) without success.
Can anyone help?

Problem 1: you probably created a character style, and it's selected as the default. With nothing selected, go to the character styles panel and select none to change that. Select the paragraphs that have the style apllied in error and Alt + Shift clcik the paragraph style name to remove local overrides and character styles.
Problem 2: Probably essentially the same problem. Your default text color is set to blue. Deselct all text, then click the "T" button inthe swatches panel to affect text and set the correct default color.
The "arrange" menu commands only work per layer. If all you see is send forward or to front, that probably means the object is already at the back of the stack on that layer. Stacking works per layer, all objects on a higher layer are in front of all objecst on a lower layer, so you cannot sned to back to move a top layer object behind a lower layer object.

  • Three Problems with Mavericks

    I have three problems with Mavericks:
    1. I can't create a Downloads Folder or any folder in the dock. The folder is replaced with documents ONLY. When I create an alias, it's replaced with a question mark unless I leave another alias in my user folder?
    2. I have a second monitor hooked up to my MBP, but when I enter Time Machine, a large solid black rectangle overlays and blocks the Time Machine backup info screen?
    3. I downloaded a Filemaker update and received "Filemaker can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. I think the workaround was to push Control or Option to Open, but now the file keeps reappearing on my desktop after it's been installed, trashed and the computer restarted. Other trashed files and logs are also popping up in my user folder, long after they've been deleted...very strange. Any suggestions to any of these problems?

    I'm researching this and other issues with SMB - you might find this post useful
    Windows computers can not access smb-shares in Lion
    It seems your connections from Windows (or perhaps from any user connecting via SMB - perhaps including home shares via SMB?) need to specify DOMAIN\user (eg SERVERNAME\user)... more info at the post above.

  • Three problems in Gnome....

    Hi, I've got a fresh install of Gnome on Arch. Everything is running great except for three things:
    1) Clicking on Home or Desktop in the Places menu on the panel takes me to Find Files, not the Home or Desktop directory. I am logged in as a user, not as root.
    2) Everytime I try to change something using gnome-system-tools it warns me that I haven't provided a password for an option normally only availabe through root.
    3) I have tried to update groups in the Gnome Users and Groups tool. There are no groups or users listed for me to edit but I obviously have me as a user and at least fifteen groups on the machine.
    Does anybody know how to correct the above? I've searched through at least 30 threads for each now and none of them actually relate to my problems. It's weird how folks on other forums just keeping answering "Google is you friend" and yet Google isn't mine because I cannot find the information I need. Google is a pain and all it gives me is Ubuntu solutions using Ubuntu-made tools.
    Having had these problems Arch is by far the best distro launched yet in my opinion. I have used many distros since 1996 (my first was Suse) and Arch really does shine compared with the others.

    Thank you jorchube. I have tried to reinstall both gnome-system-tools and the backend files but I still have the same problem. I've been looking to see if there is a configuration file somewhere for system-tools but cannot find anything. The Arch wiki is huge and I'm not sure I can find the solutions buried away there without a lot of a lot of deductive thinking. Looks like I'm sticking to the command line for the time being.
    Once again, thanks.

  • I have three problems with Firefox 3.6.8 that 3.6.9 hasn't fixed: 1) Firefox has stopped responding to any and all javascripts, 2) Firefox won't play any embedded videos, and 3) Firefox won't let me open up new windows.

    Every new link has to be opened in a new tab, or nothing happens. No matter how I try, I can't open more than one window with Firefox. Worst of all, if I surf the Internet for more than an hour, all these problems have a cumulative effect and Firefox simply crashes. I'd uninstall 3.6.9 and reinstall 3.6.6 (which gave me no problems) if I could only figure out how to save and export all my passwords and user IDs first -- that's way too much to have to input again from scratch!!

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • Three problems, Autodial, pdf's, Mcmaster Carr

    I was happy with Firefox up to 3.0, nothing but problems since. I now have 5.0. Using WinXP, SP3
    Firefox has now become a worse browser than IE!
    Firefox will no longer Auto Dial or Auto Connect. I have done all the things listed in the support pages to do in Control Panel, no help.
    Firefox will not "drill down" through pages on Mcmaster.com, had that issue in 3.6 also.
    I have problems with .pdf's in Firefox that do not exist in IE.
    Right now the ONLY reason I still use Firefox is the plugin ReminderFox. I love that, and if I can find a suitable replacement for it in IE I will, after years of use, abandon Mozilla products for good. At least for IE, or Chrome, there is contact information for people who are interested in helping out.
    I have tried several times to get help here, a couple years ago for Thunderbird (which I never got an answer for, abandoned Thunderbird), the last couple months for my problems with Firefox (again, no help offered).
    Regarding this Audodial problem, the parroting of "fixes" that DO NOT WORK in 4.x show that there is no real expert help for problems any longer. And seemingly NO ONE IS REALLY INTERESTED.
    The Mozilla experiments were good, for a while, and are a big part of the reasons that other browsers have greatly improved, but now the applications have fallen behind so bad that to me there seems little reason for Mozilla to exist any longer.

    Problem number 1 is solved with the installation of Adobe Reader 10.1...

  • Experiencing three problems with Thinkpad T530 (Network, keyboard, and touch pad)

    I bought thinkpad t530 2 years ago and gave it to my sister 4 monts age and recently she is experiencing few problems.
    Before I mention any problems with it, I would like to mention that my sister hasn't updated software or driver for more than 60 days through lenovo solution center.
    First, she cannot connect to a network (both wirelessly and internet cable).
                The error says "There might be a problem with the driver for the Wireless Network Connection 2 adapter"
    Second, the keyboard is not working.
                The keyboard works fine when it was in BIOS mode and the keys associated with Fn keys work fine too, such as                 brightness contorl and backlit keyboard keys. However, it seems like the keyboard doesn't work in Windows 7.                     When she went into drivers manger to see what was the problem,  it says, "Windows cannot load the device driver                 for this hardware. The driver may be computed or missing. (Code 39)"
    Third, the touchpad and red pointer is not working.
              Similar with the keyboard problem, the touchpad and red poting device is not working. In the device manger it                          says,"This device cannot start. (Code 10)."

    Hi Rbtlr0215,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are facing multiple issues on your ThinkPad T530.
    For keyboard issue, check if the issue persisting in ‘Safe mode’ option. Check with uninstalling the Keyboard adapter from device manager.
    For internet issue, check if the issue persists in ‘Safe mode with network’ option, Check with uninstalling the Wifi drivers from Control panel – Program & feature options.
    For Touchpad issue, check with uninstalling the UltraNav drivers from Control panel – Program & feature options and restart the system, let the Windows install the generic driver for your system.
    After performing all the above steps run thinkvantage system update utility to check for latest driver for your system.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • I have iTunes Match and I have three problems.

    1)  I am unable to add my "Holiday Music" playlist to my iPhone.  I deleted the playlist "Christmas Music" and added "Holiday Music".  I manually drag and dropped it to my iPhone on iTunes, but the content never showed up.  I have tried just about everything I can think of.  By the time I get my music on my iPhone, Christmas will be over.  Very frustrated.  Someone suggested I do it manually and I did.  Still didn't work.  When I went to play one of the Albums under "Albums", it asked me if I wanted to download the songs.  I have already downloaded them once, why do I have to keep downloading them and will that cause me data usage with Verizon?
    2)  When I do play my music from my iPhone it jumps all over the place.  First it plays song #4 then #11, then #24.  Looks like I am only getting a fraction of my songs that I have in my iTunes.
    3)  My daughter and I share an account (of course, because I pay).  I do get email notification when she buys something, but I don't see them under my "Purchased" playlist all the time.  I do "Check for Available Downloads", but they don't always show up there.  I have to make a copy of the iTunes email and then ask to download them again.  If I didn't get that iTunes email, I wouldn't get to use those songs she buys with my money.
    I'm thinking I don't like this "iTunes Match", so far.  Way too hard to play my music.  Thanks for whatever advice you can give me.  THX, Lynn Z

    Thanks Michael for your quick response.  However, the following still exists:
    1)  I created a playlist in my iTunes entitled "Holiday Music".  I have waited for days and it has never appeared on my iPhone.  I even tried to sync it with USB and although it showed up under "On my Phone", it did not show up on my iPhone.  I still can't find it anywhere on my iPhone.
    2)  Yes I hit "shuffle".  However, after reading your response above, I tried not hitting shuffle and the bluetooth in my car when haywire.  It scanned through my music and stopped whenever it wanted to.  Plus, when  I got in the car, I went to my playlist and checked "download all".  I had to wait about 15 minutes before the playlist began playing.  When it did, the first song played a couple of seconds and then waited a couple of seconds, and then did the same throughout the entire song.  I figured it was because it was still downloading.  I can't have this.  It causes me anxiety because it bypasses songs I would like to hear.
    3)  As far as getting all the songs that my daughter and I buy, I will check out your recommendations above.
    Thanks for your help on these issues.  It is greatly appreciated.  I will try anything to get this thing to work before
    Christmas is over.  THX, Lynn Z.

  • Safari on my iPad. I have an original iPad and since updating to the latest iOS safari forces me to restart the iPad about two to three times a day. Three problems: 1. It just blacks out. 2. The reading list does not delete after the story is read. 3. Ema

    Since updating to latest iOS safari fails several times a day.
    1. Just quits.
    2. The items on the reading list will not delete after visited.
    3. The screens goes grey when I go to email a reference.
    Is the a solution other the restarting the iPad or is this something apple ought to fix?

    See if the following help.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Problem with threads in my swing application

    Hi,
    I have some problem in running my swing app. Thre problem is related to threads.
    What i am developing, is a gui framework where i can add different pluggable components to the framework.
    The framework is working fine, but when i press the close action then the gui should close down the present component which is active. The close action is of the framework and the component has the responsibility of checking if it's work is saved or not and hence to throw a message for saving the work, therefore, what i have done is that i call the close method for the component in a separate thread and from my main thread i call the join method for the component's thread.But after join the whole gui hangs.
    I think after the join method even the GUI thread , which is started for every gui, also waits for the component's thread to finish but the component thread can't finish because the gui thread is also waiting for the component to finish. This creates a deadlock situation.
    I dont know wht's happening it's purely my guess.
    One more thing. Why i am calling the component through a different thread, is because , if the component's work is not saved by the user then it must throw a message to save the work. If i continue this message throwing in my main thread only then the main thread doesnt wait for user press of the yes no or cancel button for saving the work . It immediately progresses to the next statement.
    Can anybody help me get out of this?

  • 645E Max HD and NIC problems?

    I'm having three problems with my 645E Max and I'm not sure if they're with the motherboard or the hard drive and NIC.
    Here are the problems:
    1.  Occasionally when I start my computer I get a "Hard drive: Imminent failure.  Backup and Replace" error message.  
    2.  Sometimes when I boot up, my computer goes in an very long loop.  It restarts itself about 20-30 times before getting into windows.
    Up until this point it sounds like a HD problem... but the HD seems to be working fine otherwise.
    3.  The NIC sometimes doesn't seem like it's getting power (the lights on the back don't light up) when I turn it on.  Restarting usually doesn't help, but moving the NIC to another PCI slot usually fixes the problem.  ((It's not a bad PCI slot, since moving it from one to another, and then back to the original one also fixes the problem))
    Suggestions?

    hehe..ok.. i had the same problem with my hdd's.
    all i did was to switch places on the ide cable. fixed the problem. strange =)

  • Problems with fascinate: do I undo an update? (if so, how?)

    Hi,
    1. My phone intermittently does not always do a screen time-out after 1 minute, as set (I just rechecked the serttings and they haven't been changed) which has made it run down its battery multiple times. This never happened in the past. It just went three minutes without timing out. Grr.
    2. Lately, photo messages won't send, although text ones do, but the phone doesn't even say that the message failed. Instead it lists the current time as the time the photo was sent. For example, I "sent" some photos on Saturday 5/12 at 10:10am. When I check the message string, it lists the photo as having been sent today at 8:48. It is not the availability of a good signal, unless there's something wrong with my signal strength indicator.
    3. I assume this is a carrier problem rather than a phone problem, but my device has not given me notification of voicemails until hours later. I thought someone had blown me off, but they had in fact left a message.
    4. Reeeeeally irritating: when I try to shut off the phone, it takes a screen shot instead. So when it's doing this (like right now) I can't turn off the screen, and since the screen isn't timing out, I'm just running down my battery.
    5. Longstanding problem - the phone mutes itself if I let my cheek get too close to the screen. The "mute button" is NOT lit, and though I can hear the other person, they cannot hear me even if I turn the mute on and off. The volume bar is set at maximum. Doesn't matter how full the battery is. I have not noticed this happening when the phone is on speaker, but I don't always want to have it in speaker mode.
    6. Longstanding problem #2: like numerous other people's Fascinates, my phone sometimes sends callers straight to voicemail without ringing. Way back when I got the phone, the tech support guy said it was due to the signal. Maybe there are temporary instataneous signal fades that don't register, but this has happened even when I've been somewhere with a good signal.
    So are some of these due to the last software update? I had not noticed the first three problems prior to the last upgrade  on Feb 15, Android 2.3 update (not that I send a whole lot of photo messages). If so, how do I change it back? I have the unlimited messages family plan. I am at home now with 4 bars of wifi. I have already tried removing the battery, *228, and software update - "no new software update available".  The photos which were "sent" on Saturday 5/12 at noon are still listed  as sent with the current time/date 9:06am 5/16).

    I have tried removing the battery, and *228 reprogramming (both 1 and 2).  I guess the original post was too long.
    I have not tried the factory reset, at least not since I noticed the problem sending photos this last weekend. It did go through a factory reset about five weeks ago - I had lost all my contacts (still have no idea why that one happened). How often does a factory reset need to occur, anyway? Hopefully not more often than once a month :-P
    The muting thing just happened again on my last call.
    Another quite minor annoyance which is new is that when the phone is turned on, it starts on page 7, but all the icons I usually use are on page 4. I know, I know, it's an easy fix to migrate  those icons to page 7. But still.

  • I am getting a 6 soon. But need to back up my 4S. I have two problems: one, I cannot get the rest of the videos off my phone.  two, I have no plus or edit button in contacts and cannot delete or fix and bad numbers. Help

    Actually, I have three problems. I had to turn off iCloud because every time I turn it on, it wipes out all my contacts.  Thankfully they're on my macbook and I was able to text them back to the phone.  Honestly, this is making me batty.  All I want to do is preserve my information before the new phone comes in. I did do a back-up to iTunes, but will that bring all the problems over to the new phone?!?
    First? I tried to edit a contact today. No edit button.  Then I thought, I'll just add her. No plus sign.
    Last but not least? I have a LOT of memory being taken up on my 16 G 4s with videos that iTunes and iPhoto refuse to see.  I can't even figure out how to see the folder on my iPhone when it's plugged in.
    Help!

  • Problems with the report export in PDF format

    Hi All,
    I am new to this forum.
    I'm developing a web application that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports.
    I have three problem:
    1) I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
    with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
    2) I want to print multiple reports one after the other to reduce the time (possibly joining two or more reports into a single PDF)
    3) I want to insert, in the jsp page filters, the number of pages to print from the same report (without
    opening it with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word))
    Can anyone help me? or can give a simple java code to do the same.
    Thanks in advance.
