CS3: Cycle through fonts?

Back in the dark days, in Quark I always would highlight the text, and then use option + F7 or F8 (i think) to "scroll" up or down through the open fonts. That was SO helpful.
Is there ANY way to do that in InDesign CS3? I've looked, and can't find :(
tia,
e

Cmd-6 will highlight the font field in the Control panel.
The up/down arrows will then move from one typeface to another.

  • CS4: How do I cycle through FONTS?

    I have a bear of a project where I have to match different fonts w/ different "logos", and being able to highlight the font, and then use the font menu and, maybe, the up/down arrow keys would make my life infinitely easier.
    This works in InDesign.. and every other program on Earth... is there ANY way to do this in Illy CS4?
    tx,
    e

    Hmmm. Doesn't work for me. And I just installed, and updated CS4.
    I highlight the word w/the TYPE tool, then click in the FONT field at the top.. but my arrow buttons only work right/left.
    I've tried highlighting the font name as well, but no dice.
    It doesn't work in the character palette either.
    Is there something I need to turn on? Or click?
    Am I doing it wrong?

  • Scroll through fonts (using arrow keys) in CS3?

    I've searched a couple dozen blogs and this forum, but I cannot seem to find a way to scroll through fonts using the arrow keys in CS3.  The tips I've been able to find are for older versions of PS and don't seem to work with CS3.  Am I missing something?  Am I crazy?
    Many thanks!

    Okie Dokie.
    So, on the left, I have the type tool selected.
    In the middle is the drop down font family panel.
    On the right, you'll see that I have the text layer selected.
    Oh, and you can see in the top that my text is not in editing mode (hence the lack of the green check/red "no" symbol).
    Am I doing this correctly?
    Oh and if I trash my preferences will I lose keyboard short cuts I've set up?
    THanks again!

  • NOTHING will allow me to mouse wheel scroll through fonts in CS6

    OMG, I am about to have a coronary trying to find fonts!  I have looked on this forum for an answer that works and cannot find anything thus far.  First, WHY is it necessary for CS6 font list in the Character Pallet to take up 1/2 of my screen?!  Second, do i REALLY have to click the little arrows at the top and bottom of the font list to scroll through fonts, ONE.BY.ONE?  Typing the first letter does not work either, it takes me to say the "D" fonts but when i click the drop down arrow to see my list of "D's", it shows a list from the top, not the D section.  I REALLY hope I am missing something here, because seriously, this is totally unusable.
    ETA:  Going to the TYPE>FONT menu at the top does not scroll either and Photoshop CS6 works beautifully...
    ETA (again):  i CAN scroll through the menu on the top (under the FILE-EDIT-etc menus), but there is no font preview (and it is selected as med in preferences)

    Thank you for the reply.  System is a fairly new Windows 7, 64 bit, plenty of RAM, hard drive space, i5 dual core processor.  To have this issue in Illustrator only and not in Photoshop seems less likely a software conflict (just guessing)?  I attached screen shots.
    Character Pallet drop down (mouse wheel, keyboard arrows, typing a letter key...all do nothing)  Only way to navigate is by hitting the little arrows on the top/bottom of the drop down.  And no scroll bar?
    Top Menu Drop Down - scrolls, hit a letter key and works, arrow keys work.  Could use this permanently, but there is no font preview..
    All of what you said works on your system, is how I would expect it to be programmed.  Partially making sure this is not the way it was designed, and hoping to find a fix for why its not working correctly.
    Main programs installed:
    Firefox
    MS Office 2007
    quickbooks
    CS3 Design suite (I JUST upgraded to CS6 and have kept it there for a backup...probably can uninstall now if that could be an issue)
    Thank you for any advice and if you would like to upload the video, that would be great.

  • ***Cant Scroll through fonts using arrow keys

    when trying to preview different fonts in AI i am unable to scroll through them using the arrow keys, it just doesnt move... can anyone tell me whats wrong? im sure its pretty simple but i have no idea how to fix it...if it can be fixed... oh im using cs3 and a mac on os x leopard

    you cant scroll through fonts in photoshop too. the scrolling stops on an item of the list (maybe photoshop has problem with it), and 1. in photoshop, you can't jump over it, you have to manually place the selection on the item after the one that blocked the scrolling, 2. illustrator will jump backward and you will keep scrolling about max 5-6 fonts over and over.
    the font groups divided with lines are meaningless. it doesn't have any relation with regional keysets or any good reason.
    a lot of unusable font f....d into the middle of the page.
    i have to scroll over a dozens of unusable system fonts, what I cannot uninstall from Windows.
    no font management at all.
    and yes waiting for another 300$ upgrade too.
    (plus another upgrade for a flash, because flash drawing tools didn't see upgrades in their whole lifetimes.
    these tools are covered with bugs from top to toe. because nobody takes care of them. 300$ / 1bug.)

  • Mac shorcut to cycle thru font

    What's the Mac shortcut to cycle thru the font menu using the keyboard! I'm using the watermark panel in Lightroom!
    Im new to mac. with windows I used to use up and down arrow

    I've no idea what you tried and how you went about. However, I can tell you for fact that up/down keys allow you to scroll up/down through font menu in Watermark panel. If it's not working for you then you may find that clicking on the menu to open it helps.

  • Issues with AUTO cycling through ....

    I'm trying to do this:
    Any help with one or the other is very much appriciated !!!
    1) When the Timer is finish auto cycling through the tabs (1 to 16) of the ViewStack, and switching over to tab (1) to STOP, I would like to address a function to do something ???
    The question is now how to write the code to ID that the Timer has come to a STOP on tab (1), and how can I incoperate this into the existing (onTimerOne) function.
    2) The second item I'm after is that if I'm amnualy select any tab (1 to 16) to address also a function to do something ???
    3) The third item I'm after is to automaticly zero (0) the ViewStack to tab number (1) if I click a Btn.
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        import flash.events.TimerEvent;
        import flash.utils.Timer;
        private var timerOne:Timer;
        private function initOne():void {
            timerOne = new Timer(5000, myViewStack.numChildren);
            timerOne.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimerOne);
        private function onTimerOne(evt:TimerEvent):void {
            if(myViewStack.selectedIndex == myViewStack.numChildren-1) {
            myViewStack.selectedIndex = 0;
            return;
            myViewStack.selectedIndex++;
        private function autoOne():void {
            if (!timerOne.running) {
            timerOne.start();
        private function manualOne():void {
            if (timerOne.running) {
            timerOne.stop();
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    4) Well, the fourth item I'm trying to work out is as I'm reading my data from an Xml file to have a TextArea which shows the different countries from the Xml file for each ViewStack tab while auto cycling through these tabs (1 to 16).
    The diffuculty here is that I use this Xml with a specific urlID="1" to urlId="16" as part shown below.
    <urlsOceania>
        <urlOceania urlID="1"/>
        <searchCountry>American Samoa</searchCountry>
        <etc></etc>
    </urlsOceania>
    I'm reading all the other items this way:
    source="{urlsOceania.urlOceania.(@urID==1).etc}"
    Thanks in advance aktell2007

    Thanks for the confirmation.  7 miles away is most likely using the same VZW tower but it does confirm the problem is not in your current location for us.
    You can look up local tower locations from many public websites such as the following:
    www.antennasearch.com
    www.cellreception.com
    http://www.evdoinfo.com/content/view/2990/63/
    The signal of -65 shows you have strong reception but it doesnt show the entire picture.  Your tower could be overloaded or unauthenticating you.  There are lots of little issues that exist outside of the raw signal strength between the towers and the connecting devices that we users have no control over.  As you may guess only a tower tech has access to identify and correct these things.
    Based on the picture of the back of the MBR1515/Netgear N300 router from Netgear I would assume that only a normal sized SIM card will fit.  I would not assume a micro SIM card will fit.  Since I do not have access to either of the VZW or non-VZW 4G LTE router I cannot confirm if it will work or not.  You might have to give Netgear a call and ask.  Based on what I can see from the User Guides of both devices the SIMs used for each should be compatible with eachother.
    If you decide to purchase the non vzw version please post back your findings for us.

  • How to change keyboard shortcut for cycle through open tabs in PS and AI CC 2014

    I would love to set my own keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open tabs in PS and AI 2014 on OS X. I found out that this can be achieved with ctrl+tab in PS, but I couldn't manage to make any of the suggestions in the forum work for AI. As said, I would like to set a more "standard" shortcut like alt+cmd+arrow-keys for both of the apps. If that shouldn't be possible, does anyone know a shortcut in AI CC 2014?
    Many thanks!
    Amadeus

    Thanks! The shortcut can be set like this in AI, although all key combinations I would want to use are not allowed. Too bad. But anyways, thank you very much for the tip!
    cmd+~ is not an option for me, I guess, since the swiss/german keyboard layout has no dedicated tilde key.
    So, I have a working shortcut in PS (ctrl+tab / of which I still don't know how to change, if possible at all) and thanks to you, I can now set one in AI as well. Unfortunately, I can not set it to be identical as in PS, since the "cmd" key needs to be included in AI's shortcut assignment dialogue, but I guess, this is as good as it gets.

  • When I press play on my iPod the only the thing that happens the songs cycle through the current playlist instead of playing the audio. How do I fix this?

    Ever since this morning I synced my ipod to my computer all that happens is the ipod cycles through the songs in the current selected playlist. No audio or anything. All the songs that are in my song libraries and are synced to my ipod properly. I did not disconnect the cable whiile it was syncing. It has been a long time since I synced it. Why is my ipod doing this? This ipod is the current ipod classic with 160 GB. Please help

    Thank you, when I meant by I haven't synced with my library in a long time. I meant the day before this morning. So I already synced it and I am not hearing any audio when I press play. Right now I am in front of a mac at my job and I have synced and ejected it from a different computer and it still isn't working. Does this have anything to do with the fact that it might have something to do with my music library at my home computer?

  • How do I change the keyboard shortcut for Cycle through open documents in PS CC for Mac?

    Sorry to bug the community with such a seemingly inconsequential task, but I am seriously tired of using the awkward default keyboard shortcut for cycling through open docs in PS.  I'd like to change it to what I am used in in Chrome, which is Cmd+Option+[left] or {right} arrow keys.  I noticed this is not a command listed in the in keyboard shortcuts, for whatever reason.  Where on Earth can I change this? 
    If it is not possible to do it by default, is there a plug-in or a change to the code that will allow this basic functionality? 
    Thanks again guys and gals!

    As far as I know, you can't. It's "hard wired" in.  Not even Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts is allowed  to change it.
    However I did find this tip:
    Anyway i never found tabs in Adobe application useful, instead i prefer the old school method: simply switch off tabs feature via illustrator/ preferences/ user interface/ open documents as tabs. Then in Mac preferences panel, under keyboard, just search for the “focus on next application window” field (under menu, keyboard and text) and assign a shortcut if the default option doesn't fit you. And there is now you can easily switch between open documents!.
    The best part of this is that it can be used in all mac applications, not only Adobe ones. And remember, if you want this working on Indesign, Photoshop, etc be aware of first switch off the tab features so that the system could “see” multiple documents opened not only one single tabbed document.

  • Cycle Through Applications

    Is it possible to cycle through the remote computers applications> (some special key command perhaps) as whenever I do CMD TAB at my end it cycles through my computers applications, not the remote computers applications.

    Click the "Full Screen" button when controllling the remote computer.

  • Cycle Through Windows broken

    The Cycle Through Windows (CMD + ~) is broken in the Leopard Finder. It works until you cycle to the Desktop, and then it stops working. You need to click on another Finder window to get it going again. Not a show-stopper but it's definitely a very annoying bug.
    OAW

    *Cycle Through Windows* in the Finder works again if you +disable Spaces+ (...) I hope it's just a silly bug, cause it is really annoying (and I want to use Spaces).
    10.5.1 didn't fix it - let's wait and see what 10.5.2 will bring us.
    To disable Spaces: System Preferences > Exposé & Spaces > Spaces > uncheck 'Enable Spaces'

  • Im running a web-based CMS, that cycles through a number of pages, and wanted to know if there is an auto reload code option ( not plug-in ) that can restart previous page when connection failed.

  • Windows 7 cycles through updates on shut down (all the time)

    i have been having a devil of a time with my mac pro and am hoping this forum might have some leads on a problem.
    i have a first generation mac pro and an installation of windows 7 using parallels and every time i use windows 7 it cycles through a windows update procedure. this is a minor pain now which takes about five minutes but in the past it was a very long procedure.
    i recently had to re-install this setup due to a WD HD with "bad sectors" and i would like to solve this problem.
    can anyone advise?
    TIA
    P.S. I had to use "Jowie's" method to install windows 7 on this computer. i am running Lion 10.7.5.
    P.P.S. apologies for the apparently off-topic post but i have not gotten any leads on this on the windows forums or from the boot camp forums and i am almost at a total loss at this point in terms of getting this OS on this computer to work.

    you like me face the problems post Vista SP1 with 64-bit versions.
    Modifying and using Imgburn via Jowie is best I know of to get it to boot and install.
    There are always issues with native Boot Camp Windows updates and a VM like Parallels as to whether you can or should apply any update whatsoever in a VM or stick to doing so natively.
    Always have a backup image to restore from for ANY OS.
    Paragon Software Camp Tune and the great Hard Disk Mgr 12 Suite which will perform an "Clone OS" migration to another disk drive.
    For convenience never share a hard drive with Mac and Windows. Esp. for you and I. Dedicated drive only.
    WD Lifeguard in Windows is great at mapping out bad sectors.
    Use Carbon Copy Cloner to image your Mac and the Recovery partition to another drive also.
    You would then never ever have to reinstall any or either.
    There are people on the Boot Camp forum where I burned out that you and I well... we've been over this before to the point I stopped and left.
    Apple's BootCamp 4.0 64-bit from my attepms (I run Windows 8) will not install and I guess needs CMD.exe and direct it at Apple installer MSI program or Setup. I would not normally and not needed except for data and time and the Boot Camp Startup  Manager in Windows.

  • Photoshop unexpectedly cycling through newly-opened files

    This is a weird one, and I can't get a foothold on what's causing it. I routinely have to open a batch of five graphics (it's not the same five graphics each time, but each project starts from the same five templates). Lately, when I open them all at the same time, a few seconds after I open them, Photoshop suddenly cycles through them in what seems to be a random order (though it never ends on the file I was looking at when it starts cycling). This is playing havoc with my workflow, as I have actions that rely on the files being opened in a particular order. Not to mention the fact that it often happens just as I'm starting to edit the files. All of a sudden, I'm looking at a different image in the set.
    It doesn't seem to be making any changes when it cycles, as there aren't any files that need saving after it's done. I just can't figure out what it's doing, or why.
    I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.2.1, on a Macbook Pro, running OS X Yosemite (10.10.1). Happy to provide any additional details!

    Have you tried a Preference reset? It has been known to clear up a lot of things in Photoshop when they go haywire. Press Cmd+Opt+Shift immediately after initiating Photoshop startup. Select "yes" when prompted.
