Ai CS4 - quick add gradient - how?

Hi!
The new gradient tool Ai CS4 is finally well done. Barvo! 14 edition...
But is possible without the inclusion of the palette to give the gradient of the object?
1. create retagle
2. use shortcuts G [chose tools gradient]
3. create a gradient on an object and.. NOTHING !??
After you select the gradient tool still every time I need to open the gradient palette to activate gradient at object?
What is wrong in my action?

1. Create Rectangle
2. use shortcut . (period) to apply gradient fill
3. Use shortcut g for gradient tool
4. Adjust gradient.

    Question
    I would like to be able to take a website that I use ofter and drop it on the firefox screen below the url. Then I will have a quick access. How do I do this? I currently use this on my laptop, but recently bought a new computer and downloaded firefox and lost a lot of features that I enjoyed.

    Hi Ruthannw,
    I think you are talking about the [[Bookmarks Toolbar]]. That article will show you how to add sites to the toolbar and even how to display the toolbar if it is hidden in your new Firefox install.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Any way to quickly add new event without opening or switching apps?

    Does anyone know of a way (or software hack) to allow me to quickly add a new event without having to either open iCal or make it the active application? Even something as simple as "add new event" to the right-click of the dockbar icon (ala "Compose new message" with Mail) would be a help. There's just so many times I want to quickly add something, but don't need to be bothered with the application taking up my screen, etc.
    Thanks.

  • I have an iPhone and use Roadrunner as my email server. When I open RR it gives me 4 choices, inbox, drafts, sent and trash.  I would like to add saved, how can I do this.  I contacted RR and they said it is an Apple problem to solve.

    Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
    is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
    any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
    get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP)  and configure
    your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
    gmail account.

  • Photoshop CS4- Does anyone know how to tell if two people are using same file?

    Photoshop CS4- Does anyone know how to tell if two people are using same file?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. I'm not the solution in the link.
    The problem that I am having at work it that several people in our department want to be able to update a file, but we want to be sure that no one else is currently editing that file. If someone has the file open, it's helpful to know the user's name so we can talk about when the next person can edit the file. This works in Excel files that we use, and I would love to find out how to do it in Photoshop and Illustrator.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

    Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

    Adobe does offer a few Unicode fonts that support Hindi  I'd expect that you'd be asking for Devanagari fonts, though. Have you ever done any Hindi typesetting? I mean, when we typeset English we don't do it in "English fonts" but in "Latin-script fonts."
    There are two main classes of Devanagari fonts - the more common, older fonts where someone took a Latin-script font, erased the characters, and replaced them with Devanagari glyphs, versus contemporary Unicode fonts. The first class are wonky, hard to use, and quite common. If you're in-country you will find lots of ways to buy those kinds of fonts. You also can use them in InDesign without needing any scripts or plugins to turn on the World-Ready Composer. I find Unicode fonts to be much easier to use, to automatically compose according to proper rules regarding behavior of glyphs - but to use them in CS4, you'd need something like World Tools or IndicPlus. I'm a World Tools user myself but if you're going to be doing only Hindi work in CS4, I'd suggest that you look at IndicPlus first.
    In short - it's deeper than it looks. If you want to tell us more about what you're trying to do, we might be able to give you better advice.

  • How can I quickly add text to a jpeg?

    Hi folks,
    I'd love to be able to just click on a jpeg and then add text to it. Preview Help says I can add text to an image by clicking Annotate and then Text, but I can't get anything to work. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone recommend a quick and easy way to add text to a jpeg?
    TIA,
    Renee

    Select the menu option Tools -> Annotate -> Add Text. The cursor should change to a "cross-hair". Use that to draw a rectangle, then type.

    The "+" to add a new tab has disappeared after installing Firefox 4.0. How do I restore it? I am talking about the tab bar at the top of the screen

    Restore your default toolbar by going to Customize - Restore Default Set. I just found it out myself.

  • CS4 Gradients   / how to make previous grads load?

    In CS4 past gradients I have made and used since Photoshop CS2 do not load. CS4 sees them as corrupt or incompatible. I think this is a crock. They are nothing but numbers. I don't know, maybe they really are incompatible. I can't help but think that if I changed the name of the ending or file name, or file type they might work again. Anyone know of a work around to get past gradients to work? A person spends time to create what a program allows one to create, and then they are all useless in a year or two. Like a big f_____ waste of time. But heck, I'm just one user.

    I opened each gradiant file in it's own Info Window. I changed only the incompatible files Administrator(Me) and me(User) to be able to Read and Write, then closed them all. The compatible Gradiant files were already set where the Adm and me could read and write. Then tried to open each of the corrupt/incompatible gradiant file in CS4. The incompatible gradiant files ARE STILL INCOMPATIBLE. I checked and all have the same ending, .grd. All are associated with CS4 in the Info Window.
    What the heck is left? You tell me.
