Help with creating a poster presentation?

Hi,
I'm a little embarrassed to ask this question, but I need help getting started with using InDesign to create a scientific poster.  This is really pathetic, I know, but the last time I used an Adobe product to make a poster was quite a few years ago, and I used, I think, Dreamweaver at that time.  Today, earlier, I asked on this forum whether I should again try downloading a trial version of Dreamweaver to make a scientific poster (3 feet x 4 feet), and I was advised to instead use InDesign.  Fair enough.  But, I'm totally lost as to how to start with InDesign for this purpose.  I want to create a poster-sized (3 ft. x 4 ft.) document, add several columns of text, 4 or 5 graphs, a couple of photos, and that's it, so this will be very simple.  I need to get started on creating this document quickly, I'm running out of time.  Does anyone know if there is a template for this type of document that I could easily access to get started?  I would greatly appreciate any hints you might have, and sorry for being so slow to catch on---

Not that I am discouraging using Indesign (I love it and use it for just about everything), but if you are short on time did you ever think of just finding a place that has free templates (maybe powerpoint) or something like that and using it as a base for your poster? If it's a simple poster, I have grabbed them from http://www.makesigns.com/SciPosters_Templates.aspx and just used it as a base for making mine.

  • Help with creating a Quiz

    Hey i need help with creating a quiz with scoring and all.
    I need a helping hand so if you can get me started that
    would help a lot.
    Use the Question class to define a Quiz class. A
    quiz can be composed of up to 25 questions. Define the add method
    of the Quiz class to add a question to a quiz. Define the giveQuiz
    method of the Quiz class to present each question in turn to the user,
    accept an answer for each one, and keep track of the results. Define
    a class called QuizTime with a main method that populates a quiz,
    presents it, and prints the final results.
    // Question.java Author: Lewis/Loftus/Cocking
    // Represents a question (and its answer).
    public class Question implements Complexity
    private String question, answer;
    private int complexityLevel;
    // Sets up the question with a default complexity.
    public Question (String query, String result)
    question = query;
    answer = result;
    complexityLevel = 1;
    // Sets the complexity level for this question.
    public void setComplexity (int level)
    complexityLevel = level;
    // Returns the complexity level for this question.
    public int getComplexity()
    return complexityLevel;
    // Returns the question.
    public String getQuestion()
    return question;
    // Returns the answer to this question.
    public String getAnswer()
    return answer;
    // Returns true if the candidate answer matches the answer.
    public boolean answerCorrect (String candidateAnswer)
    return answer.equals(candidateAnswer);
    // Returns this question (and its answer) as a string.
    public String toString()
    return question + "\n" + answer;
    }

    Do you know why this lazy fart-ass is back? Because when he posted his homework last week, some sorry-assed idiot went and did it for him.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5244564&messageID=10008358#10008358
    He didn't even thank the poster.
    It's the same problem over and over again. You feed the bears and it only teaches them to come back for handouts.
    My polite suggestion to the original poster: please do your own fucking homework.

  • Need help with creating a brush

    Hi guys,
    I wanted to ask for help with creating a brush (even a link to a tutorial will be goon enough ).
    I got this sample:
    I've created a brush from it, and i'm trying to get this kind of result:
    but it's only duplicates it and gives me this result:
    Can someone help me please understand what i need to define in order to make the brush behave like a continues brush instead of duplicate it?
    Thank you very much
    shlomit

    what you need to do is make a brush that looks like the tip of a brush. photoshop has several already but you can make your own that will be better.
    get a paintbrush and paint a spot kind of like what you did but dont paint a stroke. make it look kindof grungy. then make your brush from that, making sure to desaturate it and everything.
    EDIT:
    oh, and if you bring the fill down to like 10-20% your stroke will look better

  • I need help with creating PDF with Preview...

    Hello
    I need help with creating PDF documetns with Preview. Just a few days ago, I was able to create PDF files composed of scanned images (notes) and everything worked perfectly fine. However, today I was having trouble with it. I scanned my notebook and saved 8 images/pages in jpeg format. I did the usual routine with Preview (select all files>print>PDF>save as PDF>then save). Well this worked a few days ago, but when I tried it today, I was able to save it, but the after opening the PDF file that I have saved, only the first page was there. The other pages weren't included. I really don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing. I really need help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I can't find it.  I went into advanced and then document processing but no batch sequence is there and everything is grayed out.
    EDIT: I realized that you cant do batch sequences in standard.  Any other ideas?

  • I need help with creating some formulas

    I'm not sure if anyone around here can help me, but I'm trying to create a Numbers document and need some help with creating a formula/function.
    I have a column of amounts and I would like to create a formula which deducts a percentage (11.9%) and puts the result in another column.
    If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is an example that shows one way to do this:
    The original data is in column A.  In column B we will store formulas to adjust the amounts:
    1) select the cell where you want to formula (in this case cell B2)
    2) Type the "=" (equal sign):
    3) click cell A2:
    4) now type the rest of the formula which is: "*(100-11.9)/100"  that is asterisk, then open parenthesis, 100 minus eleven point nine close parenthesis forward slash  one hundred
    The Asterisk is the multiply operator  (times) and the forward slash is the division operator (divide)
    now hit return.  select cell B2 and hover the cursor over the bottom edge of the cell:
    drag the little yellow dot down to "fill" the formula down as needed.

    The above code did have some errors, but even if it worked I wouldn't have been happy. It was just my attempt at what I'm trying to achieve.
    What I want to is be able to call a function in my "Main" class to create a shape (Circle body or Polygon body), like so... createShape(wheelBuilder, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    I would like to make the class ShapeObjectDirector and ShapeObjectBuilder to be able to handle b2CircleShape() and b2PolygonShape(), but my problem is creating constants to handle both datatypes all in the one class.
    Basically, I need help with building a class to create shapes on the fly, with minimal code in the Main class. What do you guys suggest? I would be grateful for one of you's who have enough experience with this kind of thing to write me a post on how I can tackle this problem, all responses appreciated.
    Thankyou,
    Brendon.

    Hi
    You have posted this question in the wrong section of the forum, this is the html5 section, you would be better advised reposting in the extension developers section.
    As for your problem, you have used microsoft word or similar to develop the code, and the javascript should be in a separate file. Can I suggest that you read the following, which will explain extension development in dreamweaver -

  • Need help with creating template. Changes are not going through to index.html page

    Hi all,
    I have an issue with my template that I am creating and also a question about creating template Regions (Repeating and Editable).
    Somehow my changes to my index.dwt are not changing my index.html page.
    Also my other question is: For my top navigation bar and left navigation bar links, do I need to select and define each individual button or link as Repeating/Editable Region? or can I just select the whole navigation bar (the one on the top) etc...
    Below are my steps for creating my template...I am kinda fairly new to using DW and this is my first attempt to making a template following the DW tutorial CD that came with DW CS3.
    I appreciate any help with this...regards, Dano
    -Open my index.html file
    -File/save as template
    -Save
    -update links - yes
    -Select Repeating and Editable Regions (I selected the whole top navigation bar and selected Repeating Region and Editable Region, same with the left side navigation links)
    -File close all
    -Open the index.dwt
    -Save as and selected the index.html and chose to overide it..
    When I make changes to my index.dwt it is not changing the index.html

  • Need help with email hyperlinks in presenter 7

    I've been using presenter 6.2 with powerpoint for a while,
    and I've just upgraded to 7. However, now email hyperlinks
    (mailto:) no longer work. Has anyone else had this problem? How do
    I fix it?

    I've built my project in powerpoint 2003 with presenter 7. My
    associate imported a 2003 powerpoint project into office 2007 with
    presenter 7 and it didn't work. My assumption is that your way
    might work if I created a new project with powerpoint 2007 and
    presenter, as opposed to importing an older version of powerpoint.
    p.s. This issue is not apparent with presenter 6.2 and in
    both powerpoint 2003 & 2007, the mailto link works in

  • Please help with an Indesign Post Card Problem!

    Greetings!   I am in need of some help!  I am trying to create a post card in InDesign and then send it to a printing company.  I sent my finished product to the company and they stated that it would not work out well.  The font is too small, pictures are too fuzzy, dimensions are off, etc...  I am confused because after reading and researching how to create a 4x6 post card in Indesign, I am still doing something wrong.  Please, please help! Thank you for your time.

    They would like a 4"x6" PDF.  I only need to create the design for the front of the post card, not the back.
    They said:
    "From the PDF send earlier, I see that you are working in Adobe InDesign.
    The document size I believe you are trying to achieve is a postcard 6" wide by 4" tall.
    Please make sure your document size is set up accordingly within InDesign; also make sure it has a bleed edge of 0.125" on all four sides.
    Make sure that your images are 300 dpi, and to size; if you have a small photo and you are trying to enlarge the image may come out "fuzzy.""
    How do I set up my document as a 4"x6" and how do I make sure my photos are 300 dpi?
    How do I upload a screenshot?  Says the image is forbidden.
    Thanks for helping!

  • Help with creating a layout.

    I need help creating a layout for my program, but am having tons of problems. I just an't that good at creating this, and it's been driving me insane.
    Here's the link to how I want it to look like. http://s94182144.onlinehome.us/randomstuff/layout.JPG
    In panel 1... that will be a cartesian plain, so it will pretty much be empty until lines and stuff are drawn in there.
    In panel 2, there will be two drop down menus and a couple of buttons
    In panel 3, there will be a bunch of things, with two buttons on the bottom.... and this section has to be scrollable.
    Any help with the basic layout will be helpful... I can put in the buttons myself. For reference, the whole programs size is 400x800.
    Thanks,
    sachit

    Read this section from the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use Layout Managers. You can combine multiple Layout Managers to get the effect your want. By default the content pane uses the BorderLayout, so one approach might be:
    JPanel center = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
    center.add(panel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    center.add(panel2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    getContentPane().add(center, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    getContentPane().add(panel3, BorderLayout.EAST);
    It turn you would layout panel1, panel2 and panel3 with the appropriate layout manager. Panel2 could be something like:
    JPanel panel2 = new JPanel( new BorderLayout() );
    panel2.add(comboBox1, BorderLayout.WEST);
    panel2.add(comboBox2, BorderLayout.EAST);
    JPanel bottom = new JPanel();
    bottom.add(button1);
    buttom.add(button2);
    panel.add(bottom, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
