Does InDesign have Shared Content Like Quark?

We soon will be working on our new catalog that was originally done in Quark. When I and the other designer did this catalog we used Content Sharing in Quark to do the catalog. We had the catalog stored on a server drive that we both could access. This eliminated much of the catalog being tossed back and forth between us to do work on and kept the document clean and up-to-date.
We are now going to switch it over to InDesign. We both use CS3 on a Mac (I also use a PC) and want to use this same type of document sharing in InDesign. Is InCopy the way to go? Is this the same as Content Sharing in Quark? We also did the product graphs using Content Sharing which worked out great. Is this possible in InDesign?
I will be using Q2ID Quark to Adobe plug-in to convert the Quark document ti InDesign. I have used this plug-in for one or two page flyers, but not for a large document like our 128-page catalog. Is there anything I need to know when converting the catalog over? Our catalog consists of images, product graphs (done as text not tables) and style sheets.
Thanks everyone for your answers.

Not really sure what content sharing is in Quark, but yes, it sounds like InCopy would be a good solution for you.
Q2ID is an excellent product and does a great job of converting ID files, but as the old saying goes, GIGO.

File Does Not Have Proper Content

Hello,
I'm working on rebuilding a project file after some knucklehead at work deleted many of the files in the project (don't worry, the person is still alive).
After re-transcoding and re-synching all the files (interviews, to be precise), most of them have been able to be re-linked fine, even when the attributes of the clip have changed slightly. One of them, however, is being grumpy
When I try to reconnect it to the file, it says:
"The file does not have the proper content to reconnect to 'clip name' at timecode x in sequence y."
Is there any way to work around this? I don't understand why all the other clips, some of which changed much more between their original versions and the new ones I've made, were able to be relinked when this one refuses.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
BWP

You may have to simply reimport and cut the material into the sequence.
This may be faster than trying to finesse a reconnect.

Does Indesign have a Split to Grid feature like Illustrator does?

Hi, I'm trying to split a rectangle into several boxes w the exact same dimensions. I can easily do this in Illustrator using Path>Split into Grid. How can I do the same thing in Indesign CS3?

You might get what you want by dragging ruler guides into approximate positions, being sure that the outside ones are snapped to the rectangle edges. Select all of the horizontal or all of the vertical guides at once, then open the align panel and use the distribute objects options to space them evenly. Be sure you have "Align to selection" chosen in the drop-down.

Does InDesign have a CLI? Batch processing projects

Hello all,
I think I already know the answer but I thought I'd ask anyway.
A little background...
When I push my MadCap Flare source to our source control, we have a buildbot that automatically runs a shell script that compiles/publishes my Flare source (via Flare CLI compatible MadBuild) to pushes it to a latest build server.
Now I have a documentation project that is impossible to build in Flare, so I must use Indesign (it is a poster-style quick start guide). I am hoping that InDesign has a similar feature where I can push the InDesign source to our source control server and have the buildbot automatically publish via a shell script.
All I need is an InDesign batch file method (via Command Line Interface) of publishing. Is this possible? If so, someone please point me to instructions on how to use the command line options.
NOTES:
- I found some information about Indesignserver for CS3 but my installation only has "InDesignServerService.exe.metagen" - no other similarly named files.
- I am using Adobe Indesign CC CS6
Thanks!

InDesign can run startup scripts that you can build with Extendscript (comes with InDesign.) It might be possible to dedicate an InDesign installation to start up with a dedicated script that performs what you need, when your source-control application launches InDesign.
Another possibility might be to have an InDesign script periodically look for a file in a location and when it finds it, perform operations on that file. The source-control application would put the file for InDesign to find.
These are technically called "wild guesses" at solutions. You sound tech-enough to go further.
However, read the InDesign license agreement to see if this is permissible use. Some applications don't permit using a single-user installation as a service for other users.
[EDIT] I forgot to mention that InDesign does have some XML smarts. Depending on your needs, it might be possible to output InDesign documents and/or templates in XML form, and process them with an XML processor that does run from a CLI. Worth a look, anyway. Also, look up the book XML for InDesign by James Maivald. You might find useful info in it.[/EDIT]

Does Firefox have a feature like the software named Robo-form, where like if you wanted to go to your gmail, you could click on one thing, and not have to inter user name and password every single time?

Some times in Firefox I see pop ups where Firefox is allowing you to make Firefox remember a password or some such thing like that.
I want to go to an account or web site where I have already registered, type in my user name and password and then before I log in, have Firefox remember my log in information, so that in the future I could go to a folder let's say, that has a list, and just click on the one item, spending less time logging in at places.
Is this something Firefox does, or do I have to say, use a software like Robo-form?

Does Indesign have a text line tool?

I am thinking of moving to Indesign from quark, and I have been trying to find the equivalent to quarks text line tool, is this available?
Thx
Brad

Hi Rodney
Thankyou for your promt reply, I have since found the line tool and with the type in a path tool it seemed to work OK, the only difference I found was you cannot grab the handles on the line path and control it's length or angles after the fact? I had to use the propery manager.
Thank you again for your time

Does InDesign have any security features that can be used in a design?

Our client would like us to create some certificiates which are to be printed using holograms, guilloche and security design patterns, micro text, etc, etc. I'm of the understanding that this is a specialist field and we would need specific software are there any plugins available for InDesign?

It's specialised printing equipment.
You should source your printers first and talk to them about any concerns and design requirements.

Does aperature have action buttons like PS?

Hello All,
I'm new to Aperature and the Mac world. Fairly familar with photoshop. Are there a means to create in Aperature the equivalent of actions/commands in photoshop? Thank you in advance for anyone who helps out on this one.

Can I then save those things I lifted somewhere?
kinda, it's a little different in Aperture, as u edit you can invoke the last "Lift" by selecting o (Stamp) and the option key
Or do I manually have to edit a photo each time before I begin stamping other photo's?
you can lift and stamp during a session in Aperture but if you find you're using the same settings (adjustments) frequently then save them as a preset (not really a action, more like an adjustment layer that is stored and reused). for example, if your camera has certain characteristics save those adjustments with an appropriate name or what I do when I shoot at certain locations in Hollywood, California, I save the setting for each location, ViperRoom has it's settings, Frank Lloyd Wright theater has it's own, the beach...so these are just low light, tungsten light, bright day light settings that I've perfected and stored as presets

Does Java have a control like CListCtrl in VC++

I have seen an application developed in VC++ with items displayed in heirarchial manner or listed like tree in a CListCtrl control.
Can a similar customization be done in Java.

In Microsoft visual Studio, VC++ applications they
have a user control
List Ctrl.CListCtrl is a class specific to MFC not Visual Studio or VC++.
Is there any simiilar controls in Java.JList.

Does Pages have margin lines like AppleWorks

Is there a selection in Pages to have the margin lines show as in AppleWorks.
I have not found a choice for that yet. It makes it much easier to use if so.

Harold,
I've not been an AW user so I don't konw what that looked like, but in Pages you can try View > Show Layout.

When I try to open iTunes,it tries to start but than I get a message stating-iTunes has stopped working , close the program. Does anyone have a problem like this? I'm using windows 7 compatibility turned off.

I'm using a Dell PC with windows 7. Apple Store cannot open completely. An error message states- iTunes has stopped working, close the program.
I have spoken to at least 3 Techs with no solutions found for this problem. Compatibility mode turned off. Newest Download from Apple site.

See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Does NetWeaver have same functionality like WLST in WebLogic?

[WLST|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/config_scripting/using_WLST.html] is powerful and convenient script for config WebLogic Server. I am wondering if NetWeaver has something similar to it?

MS Office (Word and Excel) on my MacBook is absolutely untrustworthy. I need a Mac version of MS Office. Is iWork a great option? Does iWork have extensive features like the ones on MS Office? (I use only Word and Excel) Free full trial version of iWork?

As above

What exactly do you mean by "untrustworthy?" Are you having a specific problem with MS Office on your Mac, or are you just saying you don't want to buy or install MS Office?
I have used every version of MS Office for Mac since it was first released, on every release of OS X since 10.2 Panther and I have never had a problem with it on any Mac ... hundreds of Macs. And have never had a problem exchanging Office docs (Word, Excel, PPT) with Windows users.
That said, it is important not to install an older version of MS Office on a newer release of OS X - for example if you are running Snow Leopard, Lion or Mt. Lion you should use MS Office Mac 2011. (Office 2008 would be ok on Snow Leopard but I would not recommend it on Lion or Mt. Lion).
