Embedded graphic in deleted text in a tracked change (CS4)

I Placed a Word file full of tracked changes and graphics. When I check the list of links (all embedded at this point), the first one is marked with page "DT". When I try to Go To it tells me "Cannot show link: The selected item is in deleted text in a tracked change."
I didn't know ID understood tracked changes, except in that it seems to accept all of them as it imports. I guess I could just ignore it there, but its presence offends me. Whatever it is, it's something I don't want. How can I get rid of it?

Sorry to keep bumping this, but I'm amazed no one else has run into it yet.
Should be fairly easy to test: Open Word, put some text in, turn on Track Changes, add a picture, delete the picture, save the file, Place in IDCS4 with "Track Changes for InCopy" turned on. You should get the embedded picture listed in Links with no way to get rid of it.
If someone can describe to me how to take this through InCopy (do I have InCopy?) maybe I can get rid of it that way.
It's gotten worse: I thought I'd be smart and unembed it and delete the linked file. Now I'm constantly reminded that it's [not] there when I open the file.

Embedded graphic in a text window

Hello. I am really stumped on this one. I have inherited a project with Headline text windows. Each Headine text window has a bar embedded in it -- something like this "HEADLINE HERE ----------". I need to adjust the color and length of the bar. I can not cut it out or unanchor it it from the text window. I can not move the bar to the left (closer to the type). If I drag the text window out to the right, the bar continues the length of the text window. Help! Thanks.

Turn on your invisibles (Type>Show Hidden) so you can see what's creating the white space—right indent tabs don't show in the Tabs panel. Your screen capture show's that there isn't a regular tab there. It could be a tracked m-space like this:
If you want to control the space replace the white space(s) with a tab like below and drag the tab arrow to flex the space:
Or, simply change the tracking on whatever space is there.

Embedding graphics in a text block

I do a lot of work that requires the use of bullet points. Many of the bullets are custom graphics. Additionally, I frequently need to use symbols not found in pi fonts that need to stay with the text.
In Quark Xpress I have the ability to paste a graphic directly into a text block so that if I have to re-flow the text, the graphic stays in place. Is there any way of doing this in Illustrator. It seems to me that I was able to do this in a previous version but maybe I'm dreaming.
Thanks

Freehand could do it. InDesign can do it now. Sadly, Illustrator can't, and never could.

Switching: Seeing "track changes" from MS Word

I know Pages does not have a track changes function as in MS Word. I also know of the comments function in Pages, which I prefer anyway.
But when you use Pages, can you see text marked with track changes in a Word document?
A friend of mine put in an effort to help me edit something I have written. I use Pages, he uses Word, so I exported my doc to Word and sent to him. He edited it using track changes and sent it back to me (still as a Word doc). Problem is, in Pages I can't see what changes he has made, or comments inserted in Word.
Is there something I can do to make Pages display what you would see if you were using Word?
I don't want to use any Microsoft products...

Thanks. That is exactly the situation, I can see the new text but no way to see what it used to be, or even that a change has been made. So it is real hard work to go through and check for places where changes might have been made. If I could at least get a mark in the margin to identify a site where something has changed it would help a lot, but I have found no way to do that in Pages.
I have OpenOffice, but I just find that Pages is a lot nicer and I don't want to start using that just for this. Anyway I can't figure out how to get OpenOffice to show where changes have been made either. Can't see using a multitude of different programs for text editing...
The best I have come up with is to get my friend to send me his MSWord file as a .pdf, so I can at least see where the changes are and make them myself in my original Pages document.
But I would rather there was a way to get Pages to do what I need...

When I forward an HTML email with embedded graphics to someone, it forwards it as plain text.. this is driving me batty.. how do I forward such mails INTACT??

I have the latest Thunderbird installed on a new 64-bit Winblows Eight netbook.. fantastic program, but one problem is driving me absolutely batty, and after using the latest Thunderbird for weeks, I simply can't figure out how to fix it..
I'm on a lot of mfr. and other kinds of mailing lists, like eBay watch list alerts, and so on.. these are not s p a m (although I get plenty of that.. who doesn't).. but lists I WANT to be on..
Many such emails from those mailing lists are in HTML format with embedded graphics.. I'm not talking about graphic file attachments, but embedded graphics which are coming from the senders' servers, and appear AS a graphic in the email.. sometimes such emails are one huge graphic with hardly any text.. all well and good..
However, here's the problem.. when I want to forward such an email to a friend, Thunderbird ALWAYS formats it as plain ASCII text.. I know this because I look in the "sent mail" folder, and can see that it has turned an HTML email with embedded graphics into plain ASCII text..
I absolutely can't figure out how to get it to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT, so the sender receives it looking the way it looks when I receive it from a mailing list, or an advertiser, or eBay, or whoever..
Is Thunderbird capable of forwarding an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT?.. If so, how / where do I turn on that capability?..
If the capability to do this isn't built into the program, is there an add-on I can install that will give it that ability?..
I am not new to computers.. but this really has me stumped.. I want to put Thunderbird on my 32-bit Vista laptop and stop using its horrible "Windoze Mail" program, which I've been using for years, and is slower than snot, and has all kinds of other problems..
So, assuming whoever reads this FULLY understands my question, PLEASE tell me how to get Thunderbird to have the ability to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics AS-IS, so the receiver(s) I forward it to see it exactly the way I see it when I receive it.. if that ability is built in, please tell me how to turn it on.. if that ability is not built-in, please tell me what add-on I need to install to give Thunderbird this capability.. if Thunderbird absolutely can't forward an HTML email with embedded graphics at all, please also tell me that..
A virtual box of candy and a dozen long-stemmed roses to anyone who can give me a solution that works..
Thanks..

Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..

How does one Float a Graphic Object with Text? (Don't want the Graphics Frame stationary)

I now know just enough InDesign to be dangerous. So, help me from blowing myself up.
SITUATION:
I desire a Callout/Quote Box to emphase a quote--to separate it from the flowing text of the manuscript. So, I created a curved-edge rectangle (graphic object) to make the "box", then filled it with the quoted text). All was well in the land of Adobe Novice UNTIL I deleted some text above the newly-created graphic box/quote box. I need the graphic to flow with (stay embedded in; hold its position in) the text outside the manuscript, not say anchored to page.
QUESTION:
Is there a way to have a graphic object which is placed in a manuscript flow with the manuscript text, so that it "holds its position" relative to the text. For example, if I delete a paragraph of text above the graphic object, I want the graphic object to adjust accordingly.
ASIDE:
I am open to any other tricks or methods others use to insert callout or quote-boxes within the flowing text of a manuscript/book.
Thanks in advance.

Create your callout. If you will use it often, you can actually grab it and drag it to the desktop for reuse in any Document; it becomes an InDesign Snippet (.inds).
Copy the callout graphic, insert your text curser into the text frame where you want the callout. You've just Anchored an Object.
This is where you want to read up on Anchored Objects. You can highlight and baseline shift the callout (often necessay for anchored objects) , change leading, apply text wrap with standoff (you would select it with the selection tool for this), all of which are way beyond what I have ever tried, but managed it in less than 3 minutes. Basically treat it as a selection of type. The challenges will be line breaks, keep with, gosh knows.
Bob mentioned CS5.5 has more friendly features, which I am not familiar with, and are beyond quick replies.
Work through the above at your discretion, ask more DIRECT questions as needed, and you will get help.

Color of embedded graphic different in Adobe Reader 9?

Hello,
I have a cross-platform and cross-version issue that I am hoping that this is the right place to get get some insight on. I normally do most of my work on a Mac (OS X 10.5.4 PPC), and created a document in Microsoft Word 2008 (w/latest patches) that has one embedded graphic, a custom black horizontal line that I designed myself as a PNG with some alpha transparency. When I print the document to PDF, either using the built-in renderer or the Acrobat 8 PDF printer installed on the machine, I am able to open the resulting PDF in either Preview or Acrobat 8.1.2 on the same computer and it looks as expected.
However, if I take it over to my PC running Vista SP1 (w/latest patches) and open up the PDF in Acrobat Reader 9.0, the color of the embedded graphic is different, a kind of orange-y brown which looks really horrible; it is as if the normally grayscale embedded image has been tinted. The text of the document remains black, it is only the embedded image that has had its color changed. If I open the Word document on the PC in Word 2007 (again, w/latest patches), however, the embedded graphic looks grayscale, as expected.
I have tried a few things such as specifying the image format as grayscale within Word 2008 before printing to PDF, converting the PNG into GIF with Photoshop CS3 on the Mac (which shows it as grayscale) and re-embedding it and printing to PDF/X instead of PDF, but none of these seem to make any difference.
Unfortunately I don't have access to Acrobat Pro 9.0 for the Mac or Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 for the PC so I cannot tell if it's the switch between platforms or between versions that lies behind the issue, but does anybody have any ideas on how to make it look the same across platforms?
Thanks,
A

There's not really anything you can do with just Reader. The creator of the form set it up to behave this way, by intention or not. It could have been set up so that a user is unable to enter more text than can be displayed in the area defined for the field, and that the font size would automatically decrease as the limit is reached, down to a minimum size of 4. If you know who created the form, you may be able to request a new version.

I'm using Adobe Acrobat with the hope of editing a url on the graphic...a simple 3-letter change, save, close and send for printing..how do I get in edit mode to delete 3 letters and insert 3 new letters?

Not sure what you mean by that: is that URL in an image, or is it actual text?
If it is in an image, then you need to extract the image, edit it with something like Photoshop, then add it back to the PDF.
If the URL is actual text, I suggest that you remove the entire URL, then add the corrected link.

I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. What can I do?

I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. This happened once before and it was due to a buldging battery pressing on the track pad. I checked the battery and it appears to be fine. What can I do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Why can I not use mouse or keyboard to delete text?

I have encountered a strange anomaly. I have recently installed the update to OSX and iTunes, and now I have been unable to delete text or correct mistakes using the DELETE key on keyboard or the mouse itself. I can only delete with the pull down menues in Safari or Entourage (my email preference). Any ideas?

Co-author cannot access track change and add/delete scenes

My co-author cannot access track change or add/delete scenes. Is it a bug or is there a setting that I did not set correctly. I shared the document as co-author several times with the same results. Any help would be appreciated Thank you Brice

Hi there,
Unfortunately, currently only owner of the document has the right to turn on/off track changes or accept/reject changes. Co-author can still view the document as Original or Final from Review menu or even navigate through the changes using Next Change/Previous Change. Extending the track changes rights to co-author as well is being considered on our backlog of items to do.
Meanwhile, the co-author should still be able to go ahead and edit existing text, add new text, delete existing text and it should be getting tracked.
Do keep providing us your feedback on the track changes feature. Your feedback is extremely important to us and helps us to improve.
Thanks

Track changes to text box

is it possible to show tracked changes to edited text in a text box... i can't get it to show changes, but it's ok with text outside the text box.
am i missing a setting option?
cheers

ric,
I just made a check and tracking works for me in a text box. The Help File States:
When change tracking is on, you can see:
Text that has been added, deleted, edited, or replaced in the document body, header, footer, shapes, and text boxes
Tables, charts, and shapes that have been added or deleted inline
Paragraph additions, deletions, or replacements
Text with style changes
Character and paragraph formatting changes
New or deleted hyperlinks, Address Book fields, placeholders, or bookmarks
A new or deleted table of contents
Edits displayed in thumbnail view
Are you sure you've got Tracking On? Comments on?
Regards,

Text deleting when I try to change color or actual font

I will try to explain. So say I have a photo (or blank canvas) and I have typed words on it. If later I go and double click the word (or layer, etc) so that I can change the color of the word(s) &/or change the actual font, it will just automatically delete the whole word(s) on that layer.... which means I have to go change the color &/or font again BEFORE typing anything, and then re-type it all. So I guess in other words... I guess the text is deleting when I try to change the color or actual font (after it's already typed). Sorry if that's confusing.
(I have a Mac, and I am using the Photoshop that comes with the Creative Cloud subscription).

Something is wrong here, the text should not delete when changing font, color or whatever.
But try this. First off you don't need to double click to change the text atributes.
Just make sure you are on the correct text layer, have commited the text but keep the text tool the active tool. Now in the options bar you can change any or all attributes (color, size, font etc). The text updates real time.
You only need to select word(s) if you want that word to be in another color/font/whatever than the other words of that same text layer.
If you want to change the attributes of more than one text layer in one go then you must select those layers before changing attributes in the options bar.

Delete DC from the track

Hi Experts,
I have created a DC in a Track.
Now i want to delete it from the track.
i referred to SAP note :864515.
However applying SAP note for my DCs it throws the error as "Folder or subtree contains local only files or folders"
whereas i can still see the DC deployed on the server.
Can you guys help me find the solution to this?
Regards,
Ashish Shah

Hi Ashish,
Try this.
1)If Remove from Client does not work, then manually delete the dc folders from the file system.
2)Check in DTR perspective under this DC that all files exist only remotely (i.e no file under that DC tree in DTR should have a home icon)
3)In Dev Config perspective, rt-click on this DC and "Create Project" .. the whole point is you should get a "mount" for the resources to be deleted from the DTR.
4)Close the project and delete the project (select the radiobutton delete the contents from the folder too)
5)Goto DTR persp, rt-click on _comp folder and Delete subtree
6)Delete and check-in
Lemme know how it goes.
Thanks,
Rajit
