How do I change caps of an OpenType font to small caps in my InDesign cc document?
Greetings, Community. It would be great if I could discover how to change caps of an OpenType font to small caps in my InDesign cc document. That's the simple question.
To be more exact, I have an 18-page play that contains stage directions in caps in parentheses, which I would like to change to small caps. The font I'm using is an OpenType, Minion Pro, with small caps.
Another thing is, I'd ideally like to be able to do that without changing all caps in the document, and also, to not have to convert the caps to lower case in order to do it.
My source document (which I Placed in my InDesign document) is Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac.
I did go to Microsoft to find out how to do it in Word, but could only find a solution for Word for Windows.
I did try their solution anyhow (a macro) but it didn't work.
Thanks a lot. It's great being in InDesign even though I had my good years with QuarkXpress, which eventually became impossible for me.

Is this what you're talking about, Michael? Where do I paste it? (The whole thing?)

How do I change the color of the font of the page name?
Thank you guys:)
Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance. -

"Upgrade" and "improvement" are rarely synonymous.

There is still a font color button in DW. In the Properties window, click the CSS button in the lower left when you have text selected. There is a little gray square with a tiny black arrow in the corner for font colors. It still uses css, but will muddy up your text with inline styles which isn't generally the best way to do things.
One of the biggest advantages to using css is the ability to put all of your styles in one external .css file. That allows you to make a single change, to a color setting for instance, and have that change affect your entire site (everything you put a given css class on). As it stands, using the old html font-color attribute, or inline css forces you to go through the code with a fine tooth comb and change each individual setting.
CSS is a massive upgrade and improvement over the old method.
I would definitely suggest getting familiar with css, it really is required for any kind of modern website and ends up making your life much much easier while using the CSS Designer window in DW (which is where a lot of this stuff takes place now in a Design View development approach)...
http://w3schools.com/css is a good place to start. -

I don't think there is an option to change colours in the "Enhanced GUI" version.

How can I change the encoding of a font "on the fly" in Illustrator
Is it possible to do that. I saw that in CorelDraw if you press Ctrl+Shift+E with a text selected a dialog windows appears with the option to choose beteen different code tables, so non unicode fonts can be made to show the right gliphs. Or maybe there is a script somewhere I dont know of. Thank you in advance!

How do I change the color of the solid-color image I placed onto an Illustrator document?
I want to change it to either a color or transparent. I am placing detailed symbols (like this).
Please help me!It is a crappy PNG with a lot of noise which will also pick up color if it is not eliminated.
You can eliminate the noise in PS by adjusting the curve...moving the bottom left end point to the right along the bottom, and moving the upper right curve point to the left along the top. Be zoomed in close enough to see the speckles go away and not unduly affect the parts which should remain solid.
The you can recolor it in PS any number of ways, an adjustment layer, making it grayscale and tinting it in AI, etc.
It can also be traced fairly well. Then as vector it can be cleaned up if desired, recolored easily and rescaled at will.

How do I change/recover my password in Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 for signing a document?
I know its the OLD version. So am I. I really don't want to upgrade. (Upgrade being a euphemism for "we moved everything to confuse you but made no improvement that will help you") Unlike many, I don't have a company that pays for the upgrade, and I don't work for the government, I have to pay for this out of pocket. I don't know why I have to have a password at all. Nothing I do is worth stealing.
If these are digital signatures, then there is absolutely no way to recovver the password. It is designed this way. You can always get a new digital signature. If are talking about signatures for opening or securing documents, there is still no way, but there are utilities available that will crack your password and allow you to open the document. Some are from trustworthy companies, some from companies you would not want to do business with. It my exerience they remove the password they do not provide you with the password.
