Changes lost after saving InDesign CS3 (WIN)

Part of our work is to make amendments to books we've typeset in InDesign. As is normal practice, we save and check our work as we go along, and subsequently close the indd file. On a few occasions now, when we have re-opened a file, we have found some of the changes we've made have not been kept. These seem to happen at random through a book, and it has happened rarely enough to prevent us getting to the bottom of it (are we doing something wrong in haste, etc?). For instance, we thought it could be our inadvertently causing Undo to do more than one edit, but our investigations on the latest occurrence of this have convincingly ruled this out. The working files are stored on the computer's hard drive (before being backed up to our server), so it's not a qestion of problems saving directly to a server, either. (So far we haven't experienced this problem on our Mac.)
We are now wondering if InDesign's ability to keep track of every save (version) of a document, which I understand is accessible through Version Cue (which we don't have installed) is at the heart of the problem. Could InDesign be retrieving earlier save-versions of a file each time we save?
Anybody any idea what could be going on? More to the point: how can we prevent this happening without our having to check again (and possibly repeatedly) through what can sometimes be more than a hundred author's amendments?
Ideas would be gratefully received.

Many thanks for this. As a result we have adjusted our way of working in 
InDesign to use Save As and overwrite rather than use Save.

  • Item category not change able after saving

    Hi guys,
    I have a problem (ECC 6.0).
    After saving a sales order, I'm not able to change the item category for the added item after saving the document. It's some kind of service material (DIEN) to charge labour to the customer.
    I found that if I maintain the MRP3 view with the strategy group 10, I'm able to change the category after saving. But as the MRP views are disabled for service materials (DIEN) and there's no need for MRP for service materials, I don't get rid of the problem.
    Please help me to solve that problem.
    Best Regards,
    Florian

    Normally If it is open sales order then you can able to change the item category provided manual item categories available in T Code - VOV4, if there are any subsequent documents are there then you are no longer to change the same.

  • How to change prices by percentage (indesign CS3)

    Further to the V.A.T. changes in the UK this has raised some issues in a catalogue we are working on. All the prices are currently based on the old V.A.T. rate of 17.5 percent and we need to do a global change to 15 percent. Obviously the idea of going through and amending thousands of individual prices is not an option and assume someone must have done a plug-in or script, does anybody no of anything out there? we are currently using indesign CS3 - PLEASE HELP DEADLINE FOR PRINT IS WEDNESDAY!?!?!

    Shaun,
    Have you considered copying the text into Word then performing the percentage change? I am not aware of an option in InDesign that will do what you need. I hope someone else has a better answer.

  • Window Focus Lost After Saving Page - Any Way To Get It Back With Keyboard?

    I've recently begun using Safari for Windows after having used Opera for years, and have run into a problem with window focus that I didn't have with Opera. Specifically, if you save a web page in Safari, you then find that the following functions are no longer available from the keyboard:
    1. Going back to a web page previous to the one that you just saved. Ctrl+[ does not function.
    2. Performing a search. Ctrl+F does not function.
    3. Scrolling to the bottom or top of the page. Ctrl+End and Ctrl+Home do not function. (For some reason, however, the PageUp and PageDown keys do still work in this situation.)
    Why is this, and more importantly, is there a quick and easy way that you can, using only the keyboard, regain the window focus so that these functions will work again? I'm currently having to click somewhere on the page I've just saved in order to regain the focus. This is a nuisance.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Thanks very much. Hitting 'Alt' button after saving the page does resolve the first (and most important) two of the three issues I listed above. FWIW, the Ctrl+End and Ctrl+Home functions only work in this post-save scenario (as I discovered by experimenting a few minutes ago) if you hit the 'Alt' button twice (or if you do something else, like perform a search and then use Ctrl+End/Home).
    By the way, before posting a few days ago, I had tried using the Alt+Tab method when I had two or more applications' windows open, and it didn't help. But, after reading your last post, I've found that if you use Alt+Tab when Safari is the only window open, then it does resolve the issue, although of course, as you've indicated, it's not actually necessary to hit the 'Tab' key.
    Thanks again!

  • Layers lost after saving as psd

    I am having trouble with losing all my layers after saving.  I have read many posts hoping to find some direction with no success.  I tried rebuilding the entire project and only saving as a psd, still no success.  I have made sure to check the layers box.  And every time I open it on my Mac, the layers are still intact.  However, my programmer and everyone else I send it to- end up with one merged background layer.  Does anyone happen to know what may be the reason for this?  I appreciate any help/ discussion.

    I believe I have solved it.  And the above mentioned was partially correct.  I was sending it through email, and it was being compressed to 'medium size' rather than actual size.  This was rendering the file uneditable w/in Ps.  I probably should have figured this out sooner, but I guess it happens.  Nevertheless, thanks for the help.
    Attached is a thread to a similar problem/ solution.

  • Embedded profile mismatch after saving Indesign to PDF, what to do  please???

    After importing some pica's from photoshop to indesign and saving it as a pdf, I noticed that my colours are totally wrong.
    I now get the message:
    Embedded profile mismatch
    The document's embedded colour profile does not match the current RGB working space.
    The current RGB colour management policy is to discard profiles that do not match the working space.
    Embedded: Adobe RGB (1998)
    Working: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    What do I have to do to make sure the chosen colours stay as they are??? I read something about a PDF/X-standard and
    the possibility to copy a file from one to another map, but I'm totally lost now.
    Can this be solved with the printerguy by asking joboptions???
    Just Pannicing ........
    Thnx upfront, Marjolein

    That depends on how much you care about profile mismatches. you can turn off the warning dialog in Edit> Color Settings by unchecking the "ask when opening" button. Otherwise, you might want to note the document profile, then set your application back to that.

  • Saving Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS

    Does anyone know how I can save an Indesign file from CS3 so that Indesign CS (the one with the brown butterfly icon) can open it?
    Is it possible?
    And can I then open it up again in CS3 after making changes in CS??
    Many thanks!
    Stu

    Export as INX. Open that in CS2 and do the same thing. Open that in CS.
    Be prepared to find a dramatically different document depending upon
    what features you used in CS3.
    This is not a recommended workflow!

  • ResultSet changes lost after changing cursor position

    Hi -
    The rowUpdated method seems to always return false
    even after applying valid updates to a resultset object.
    The database row can be updated with the changes immediately
    but if i don't update before moving to a different row in the cursor
    the changes to that row in the resultset are lost when i attempt to
    retrieve them at a later time
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    The rowUpdated method only returns true if the line was updated and the driver supports this feature. To find out if it does, call DatabaseMetaData.updatesAreDetected(int type). If it doesn't then that is your answer.
    If you don't update a row before moving to another one it's somewhat obvious that the driver won't keep track of your changes (imagine what would happen if you do this for ecery row in a huge result set). The idea is to update the database. Otherwise they are lost. So just update the row if you want to, or do not make any changes to the columns if you don't.
    Alin.

  • Change ORDER after saving the corresponding DELIVERY

    Hello SAP Experts,
    i want to set the sign "Complete delivery" in the ORDER (VA02) automaticly after creating and saving of the corresponding DELIVERY (VL01N). How can i trigger this function in a user-exit of the delivery? Is there another option besides the user-exit?
    Thank you for your attention

    Hi Purnaneelu,
    we had very few data to be uploaded......and was giving prob in background mode.
    using foreground wud be time consuming.
    but in error mode it didnt give problem...coz only if error occurs, it wud give pop up...so thankfully no error occured.
    so i used error mode....and also wrote WAIT statement and COMMIT statement..
    so that it used to wait for sometime and then commit and then proceed. also we did the upload synchronously.
    maybe it used to take all data...and try to save it all at 1 time in asynchrounous mode...
    had to try many combinations of settings....but finally it worked

  • Error after saving in CS3

    I was working on a project in PPro 2.0 and decided to give it a try in CS3 and saved it there. That was a mistake. I discovered, that CS3 trial version cannot read MPG! Now when I try to open the project back in PPro 2.0, I get the following serious error message:
    dev\stingray\backend\src\core\inputvalue.ccp-274
    Anybody have any idea what this means? How do I get my project back? Any way to save it in PPro 2.0 compatible format from CS3?
    It's not PPro 2.0 issue, since other project open just fine.
    Please help, it's 2 hours long and I did a lot of editing on it.

    Too late. I am surprised you didn't make a copy before using a new program.
    I recommend you find an Auto-Save copy and use it.

  • InDesign CS3 (WIN): "Enable all profiles" scriptable ?

    Hi,
    We have to following problem: We have a large collection of IND files from different sources. When creating output, we want the image profiles to be enabled. The only way to do this, it seems, is manually when opening a document with a mismatched color profile, and there choose "Enable all profiles" for placed content. Trouble is, we can't seem to script this option. Question: Is it possible to disable the warnings and "enable all profiles" for placed content after the document is openend via a script? Or is there another option to script that all placed image profiles should be enabled, before exporting a PDF?
    I hope you can help, where quite desperate...
    Thanks,
    Frank

    Hello John,
    I think you should start by modifying your *WidgetEH boss definition in your framework resources - replacing the IID_IBOOLEANCONTROLDATA it aggregates by an IID_IINTEGERCONTROLDATA - then you'll have to follow this boolean field down deep into your *WidgetEH implementation to replace it to any flavour of integer value you are used to.
    Doing it that way you'll be able to store a state value from 0 to 7 - by example: that would be much closer from the behaviour you are looking for than a boolean toggle I'll guess.
    Is this making sense to you?

  • Alpha Channel Lost After Saved

    I created an alpha channel for a selection and saved the tiff file. When I reopened the file the next day, I couldn't find the saved alpha channel and the load saving option was greyout. I tried the same process a few times and without any success. Did i miss something?

    Do you have Alpha Channels checked in Save As dialog?

  • FXG does not change image after saving.

    I have installed the fxg plugin.  I can make edits and save, however, in Catalyst the image does not change.  I have follwed the instructions to the letter, but no changes are made. I refreshed the artboard but that didn't help either.  What am I missing?

    I also encounter the same issue.

  • Lightroom changes reset after saving from photoshop

    I'm using the most current version of Lightroom and Photoshop. In the past, I was able to edit in PS and when I'd save, the photo would update in Lightroom, preserving whatever changes I'd made in the develop module. For example, I do a lot of retouching, so I'll tweak general contrast and color in Lightroom, then export to Photoshop to clean up skin and other details. PS saves it as a .tiff which automatically stacks in LR with the original .dng file. So let's say I finished the retouch, then in LR I apply a light vignette or some grain to the .tiff file. Previously, if I ever decided to export this .tiff again into photoshop, when I would save and it would update in LR, the vignette and grain amounts would stay the same.
    Now when I save in PS, when the photo updates in LR all the settings reset and I lose whatever changes I'd made (curves, grain, vignette, etc). Is there a setting I'm missing?

    Please provide screenshots taken at View > 100% to illustrate the issue.
    Where do you observe that degradation – in Photoshop itself or in some other application?

  • InDesign CS3 Win:  Playing with PictureIcon...

    Hello Folks:<br /><br />   I have a rare moment to actually explore the SDK a bit on my own without deadline worries or similar impediments to creativity.  I thus decided to play with the sample plugin called PictureIcon.  I compiled it and ran it without a problem, although the writers of the plugin did little more than show how to implement an event handler to change the image used in a picture button when that icon is clicked.  <br /><br />   The problem is that the range of behavior implemented is very, very limited.  Clicking the one picturre button implemented toggles between two images when there are eight included in the project.  So I decided as an exercise for the student, to rewrite the project to cycle through all eight images.  <br /><br />   The problem is that if I click the picture button without a breakpoint included in the event handler, the picture button does not change, as expected.  If I do include a breakpoint, the picture button does change.  I even went ahead and included an Update call based upon comments made in the event handler header, to no effect.  Here's the changed code (I left the old code in for reference purposes):<br /><br />bool16 PicIcoPictureWidgetEH::LButtonDn(IEvent* e)<br />{<br />//DebugMessage("I am inside the event handler.");<br />     do<br />    {<br />          int32 rsrcID = 0;<br /><br />          InterfacePtr<IBooleanControlData> controlData(this, IID_IBOOLEANCONTROLDATA); // no kDefaultIID<br />          if(controlData==nil) <br />        {<br />               ASSERT_FAIL("PicIcoPictureWidgetEH::LButtonDn - No IBooleanControlData found on this boss.");<br />               break;<br />          }<br /><br />          InterfacePtr<IUIFontSpec> fontSpec(this, IID_IUIFONTSPEC); // no kDefaultIID<br />          if(fontSpec==nil) <br />        {<br />               ASSERT_FAIL("PicIcoPictureWidgetEH::LButtonDn - No IUIFontSpec found on this boss.");<br />               break;<br />          }<br /><br />        /*<br />         *  This is the meat of the issue.  If the <br />         *  correct button is clicked, the value of <br />         *  rsrcID is changed to a font number id.  <br />         * <br />         *  It is this font number id which is used to <br />         *  decide which picture will be displayed with <br />         *  each click.  One does not relate to the other;<br />         *  the programmer used this value as a matter<br />         *  of convenience.  Iam going to try something <br />         *  else here, just for fun.<br />         */<br />          //bool16 isPressedIn = controlData -> IsSelected();<br />          //if(isPressedIn == kTrue) <br />        {<br />               //controlData       ->       Deselect();     <br />               rsrcID = Resource;<br /><br />            Resource++;<br />            if(Resource > kPicIcoCenterCompPictureRsrcID)<br />                Resource = kPicIcoTopOutsidePictureRsrcID;<br /><br />            //isPressedIn = controlData -> IsSelected();<br />        }<br /><br />#ifdef OldCode<br />          if(isPressedIn == kTrue) <br />        {<br />               controlData       ->       Deselect();     <br />               rsrcID = fontSpec ->      GetFontID();<br />          } <br />        else <br />        {<br />               controlData       ->          Select();<br />               rsrcID = fontSpec -> GetHiliteFontID();<br />          }<br />#endif<br />          InterfacePtr<IControlView> myView(this, UseDefaultIID());<br />          if(myView == nil) <br />        {<br />               ASSERT_FAIL("PicIcoPictureWidgetEH::LButtonDn - No IControlView found on this boss.");<br />               break;<br />          }<br /><br />          if(rsrcID != 0) <br />        {<br />               myView -> SetRsrcID(rsrcID);<br />            Update(e);     <br />          }<br />          return kTrue;<br />        /*<br />           * early return as here we have already<br />           * handled the event and do not need to<br />           * delegate any processing to the base class.<br />         */<br /><br />     } while(0);<br /><br />    /*<br />     *  Of we get this far then it means that the program <br />     *  should perform the default <br />     */<br />     return CEventHandler::LButtonDn(e);<br />}<br /><br />Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?<br /><br />TIA!<br /><br />John
