All the implications of placing text from another file

Hi all,
I have a large document with masters that I use for my proposals. I created all the masters I need in this file, then when I get a request for proposal, I just copy out the masters I need for that particular one (depending on the products requested).
The original file is getting pretty big (175 MB), and I'm looking for ways to make it smaller, as it's starting to drag. I was thinking of cutting all text out of it, creating Word docs, then placing the text back in, but I had some questions.
1. Will this really shrink the file size that much?
2. How will the Word document be affected if I change text within InDesign? Do changes in InDesign change the original document?
3. Will all of my character styles stay (such as highlighting the area where I need to fill in the customer's name)?
If anyone could point me to a good reference on placing text or help me with some guidance I would much appreciate it. This is a big project and I want to start it correctly.
Thanks!

Before you do anything try file>save as and save the file that way.
Bob

  • How can i access all the objects of one schema from another schema

    Dear All,
    How can i access all the objects(Tables,Views,Triggers,Procedures,Functions,Packages etc..) and do the modifications of one schema from another schema (Without using synonyms concept).
    Thanks in advance,
    Mahi

    First of all, synonyms only help you easy reference the object. It doesn't have any implication of object privilege.
    As long as you have proper privilege on target object. You can access it with or without synonyms.
    Assuming you have proper privilege of objects, you can use following command to assume schema owner.
    ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = Schema_owner

  • How do I stop all the browser/HTML/menu text from appearing as numbered squares?

    A couple weeks ago ALL text in my firefox browser started appearing as numbered squares. It's all HTML on the page, javascript popups, text fields, menus... everything. This did not happen after I did an update or anthing, it just happened partway through the day when I opened the browser window. I tried doing an update when I was prompted, which didn't help, and I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version.

    Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features.<br />

    Some to try:
    * set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D

    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

  • I updated my 4S iphone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan.  How do I stop this?

    I updated my 4S iPhone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan.  What do I need to do?

    I'm not completely clear on the GSM / LTE network frequencies in US vs Argentina, but I do know that cross-compatibility can be an issue when buying from one country and using in another. Apple products in particular have this problem. What this sounds like to me is that the phone is not compatible with Argentinian networks; or your friend had an AT&T phone and jail-broke it. This is against the end user licensing agreement, and when the phone is next updated is likely to jam the phone.
    Sorry but you lost your money.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You could simply set each device to only use a single telephone number (settings > messages > send & receive, but this isn't really an ideal solution since the other person can always change their settings and see your messages and send messages that appear as if they are from you. There is only one real solution and that's to have your own accounts.

    You each need to have separate Apple IDs and separate user accounts. Better yet, separate computers as well.

  • If Number = than then display text from another cell

    Hi
    I'd appreciate it if anyone can help me with this please.
    I am putting together a gradebook type spreadsheet. I would like to display the text from another cell if the number entered in another cell is greater than or less than a certain number.
    So - if the number in cell A is equal to or greater than 70 then the text displayed in cell B equals the text contained in cell C
    Hope this makes sense.
    Many thanks in advance.
    regards,

    Hello Lee,
    The Numbers User Guide PDF available from the Numbers Help menu as a download is good reading for beginners. As a reference document, the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide is also valuable.
    The function you need is called "IF", and the syntax is: IF "logic-expression" is true, then do this, else do this. As a calculation in a cell, that would have the form: =IF("Cell A" is equal to or greater than 70, then display the content of cell C, else display "something else") You need to provide the "something else", which can be a null string, "", if you wish.
    As you will find when you read the guide, the cells all have row and column address components where the column is identified by a letter of the alphabet and the row by a number. So If your data is in A1, your text string in B1 and your expression is in C1, you would write in C1:
    =IF(A1>=70, B1, "")
    Does this help?

  • Why am I seeing outgoing and incoming text from another phone number that is on my plan?

    Why am I seeing outgoing and incoming text from another phone number that is on my plan?

    That is why. If you take the time to go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. Then uncheck everything but the phone number for each particular device, you should be alright after that.

  • Is it free to send and receive texts from another EE customer who is abroad?

    is it free to send and receive texts from another EE customer who is abroad?

    Hi 
    Welcome to the EE Community! Provided you're texting an 07 number, it won't cost you anything extra to text someone abraod (provided that's included in your package). It will cost the person abroad to reply (but not receive texts), unless again they have some sort of add on in the country they're present in. Cheers,

  • Do you need to be constantly connected to wifi or 3G to receive texts from another apple user using iMessage?

    Do you need to be constantly connected to wifi or 3G to receive texts from another apple phone user who is using iMessage?

    No.
    Much as a missed call while not connected goes to voicemail, a missed text or iMessage while not connected will wait until you are connected, then be delivered.
    There is one exception, however.  Many cellular carriers do not support iMessage.  So if you are connected by cellular signal and not WiFi, you will receive the message as an SMS text message using your cellular carrier.
