Autocorrect not working in InDesign CS5 - Help? :)

Hi there,
To save time, I've set up autocorrect to insert repetitive phrases that I need in my documents by entering keystokes such as 'zz' and 'pp' etc. etc. Now, these autocorrect features work fine with a new document, however on the templates that I need them for they refuse to work. I've made sure that autocorrect is enabled in the main preferences menu and I've also made sure that these specific documents have the autocorrect function ticked. Can anyone please help me...? I'm stumped! Perhaps it's something to do with the language of the document but I'm not really sure where to look.
Thanks very much.

"Autocorrect" doesn't retroactively correct a document -- quoted from the relevant Help page (
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6f52a.html):
By turning on Autocorrect, you can allow capitalization errors and common typing mistakes to be replaced while you type.

Cross reference or hyperlinking not working for InDesign CS5 Book to ePub

I cannot get hyperlinks or cross reference links to work when generating an ePub from InDesign CS5. (7.0.0.355, Mac OS 10.6.2)
Here's how to recreate a simple test demonstrating the issue.
1. Create a new InDesign Book (File -> New -> Book)
2. Create document one (File -> New -> Document)
3. Create a text box and type "Table of Contents"
4. Create document two (File -> New -> Document)
5. Create a text box in it and type "Story One"
6. Create a new paragraph style and assign it to the Story One text
7. Save document 2. I just kept the name Untitled-2.xhtml
8. Back in document 1, add a cross-reference and select document 2, the style you created, and then "Story One". "Story One" should now appear under the previously typed Table of Contents text, and when highlighed, should show it is an active cross reference in the Hyperlinks panel.
9. Save document 1. I just kept the name Untitled-1.xhtml
10. Add both documents to the Book and save the book.
11. From the Book panel, select Export Book to EPUB...
12. Save the epub file and open it in Adobe Digital Editions.
Note that the text "Story One" appears as a hyperlink but when clicked does not switch to the document 2. It does nothing apparent when clicked.
Looking at the XHTML source for the first document, it is immediately evident why. The filename for document 2.thml is missing. It looks like this: <a href="#anchor-anchor">
When it should be : <a href="Untitled-2.xhtml#anchor-anchor">
The same thing works if you create a hyperlink instead of a cross reference.
I note then when I use the option to go to the destinate reference in the Cross Link (hyperlink) panel, it does switch to the second InDesign docuemtn. So the cross reference is functioning (in InDesign). But the link is broken in the ePub for the above mentioned reason.
Bug? Something I'm overlooking?
Entire source of Untitled-1.xhtml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Untitled-1.xhtml</title>
<link href="template.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="untitled-1">
<div class="generated-style">
<p class="basic-paragraph" xml:lang='en-us'><span class="no-style-override">Table of Contents</span></p>
<p class="basic-paragraph" xml:lang='en-us'><span class="no-style-override"><a href="#anchor-anchor">‚Äústory one‚Äù</a></span></p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

As far as I can tell, it has NOT yet been fixed in CS5.5. I'm having the same problem. I have about 90 hyperlinks to fix.
And the explanation that Teus Dejong gives indicates it's not going to be that helpful: "we have found that only the links in documents split by the CS5 exporter will be fixed. For books the script does only work for references to earlier documents in the book, not for forward references. This means in practice that for most books the script will not repair the links and should be seen as a means to add the year only. At the moment I see no way to repair this, because the book epub output of InDesign does not contain sufficient information to repair links referencing forward to others documents in a book."
It's pretty discouraging.

Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts not working in Indesign CS5

Hi I created some Maths Text books about 5 years ago in an older Adobe Indesign program. I now have to re-edit the files using Indesign CS5.
The Euclid Symbol Bold and Italic fonts i used back in 2005 now do not display in Indesign 5 when i open up the program. The other Euclid Symbol Fonts do. I think that they are all truefonts.
I have attached an example.
I am using a Mac running OSX 10.6.8.
http://www.dessci.com/en/support/mathtype/tsn/tsn109.htm <-- this is an error log from 'MathType' the guys who created the font - yet unsure what this actually means for me
Here is the example
fonts in the Euclid Family on my Mac

Congratulations on fixing the problem yourself! Hopefully our article (to which you linked) was of some help in that process. Let us know if you need anything else.

'Package' command not working in Indesign CS5.5

Hi Everyone. I am using Indesign CS5.5, and cannot create a 'Package' folder that collects all fonts and graphic assets used in a document I am working on. Using File>Package, the progress bar hurries through very quickly (way too quickly for a 80Mb file!) and the resulting 'Package ' folder is empty - no fonts, no images!
Has anyone else experienced this? And did they solve the problem?
Thanks in advance.

IDML never contains the images. It contains references to the images.
The images aren't altered. The person who sent the file to you needs to relink the images to the InDesign file in the Links panel.

window comes up and the PMS list is over the procees color boxes and i cant input anything. To work around I have been creating the Process colors and them dragging them to the swatch palatte, but this is annoying. Any Idea how to fix this problem?

Linotype Decoration Pi will not work with InDesign CS6

Linotype Decoration Pi Font will not work with InDesign CS6. If I buy a new version from the Sdobr store, will it work?

Has the font ever worked in CS6? If not, did it work in a previous version? Did it ever work in any version of ID using your current OS version? I ask the last question because I helped someone on another forum today that had a font that did not survive migration on their Mac. In their case, the font was selectable but the application would crash exporting to PDF or printing.
I'm using a PC. It works here.
It is listed along with the fonts that start with D here.

Cambodian fonts won't work in inDesign CS5

Hi! I am unable to get inDesign to replicate correct Cambodian fonts. I've downloaded a wide variety and though they are correct in word, they do not work in inDesign, the differences are very small, a few missing characters, incorrect symbols, etc. I've attached a photo of what the font should look like (top) and what it comes through as in inDesign (bottom). Look at line two, in inDesign note the missing j-like symbols and crosses that don't belong but are replacing something else. I feel like I've tried everything and nothing is working. Please help, I would greatly appreciate it!!

First, he sent it to me in the Khmer OS font and I got the missed characters and odd symbols in inDesign. Second, he re-wrote it and sent it to me in the Kh Moul font with the same results on my end.
Long story short - Unicode fonts like the KhmerOS font should work if the world-ready composer is on. I don't recognize "Kh Moul" but you can test to see if it should work. If you open up the Glyphs menu (Type -> Glyphs) and pick the Cambodian font of your choice, and then hold the mouse over a character, it should report the name of the character in a mouseover popup. If you see something like "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER OE" or something like that, or no character name at all, it means it's a bad font and cannot be trusted in InDesign. Most of the Cambodian fonts I've seen are font-hacks like this (where the English letter is erased and replaced with a Cambodian character). I've made those work in the past, but it usually requires editing the font.
Double whammy, I also need to make this work for chyron (television graphics). I'm hoping if I figure out inDesign, it will use the same fix.
The World-Ready Composer turns on some features of InDesign that allow it to support complex scripts like Cambodian, if the font is constructed correctly. It's a feature of InDesign, so if it works, you won't be able to assume that it will work in any other application. I searched the Chyron knowledge base and found nothing, but nothing, about Unicode or complex script fonts or anything like that. You'll probably need to make images of your text, so you will need to find out the target specifications from whomever is setting this up for you. If you have that spec but don't know what to do with it, I'm sure that we can help you figure out how to spit a file out of InDesign that the teevee people will be able to use.

Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.
