How do I make Indesign CS3 the default rather than Indesign CS4?

Indesign 6.0.2 is driving me crazy, that spinning ball spins for every character I type. It takes 5 minutes to write one word. I want to use CS3 instead, which works great with dynamic spelling, which I have turned off in CS4, but don't want to dump CS4. How do I make CS3 the default? When I open CS3 and save, it saves it as CS4 so to open it I can't click on it I have to open CS3 first. Illustrator in CS4 works great.

The only way to make a mac recognize CS3 as default would be to completely remove CS4.
In OSX new version trumps older versions. you can however have both apps open drop files you know are cs3 on the CS3 dock Icon or an Alias on your desktop. CS3 does not save as CS4 its just that the OS makes all ID files look like the newest version.

Re setting a default app for email -
Start up Mail. Open Mail's Preferences (Preferences in the Mail menu). Go to the General tab if it does not open with that chosen. First item in that screen, "Default email reader" - use the pulldown menu to select the app you wish to use. Then close the Preferences window and quit Mail.
Re setting a default app for a given file type -
Select a file of that type by clicking it once, then press Command-I (Get Info in File menu). Look down in the Get Info window to the section "Open with:" - use the pulldown menu there to select the app you wish to use for that file type, then click the "Change All..." button. From then on, double-clicking any file of that type should open it using the app you set.

I am sure it is.
- The normal use of the Organizer is not the folder view, it's the thumbnail view with an organization based on categories and folder. That way you should forget completely where your pictures are stored. Anyway, the folder view in the Explorer is not a map of the location of the different bits of your file, it's only a logical representation. That's easy to see when you are doing a defragmentation.
- The folder view is useful even for those using normally the thumbnail view, but that is only for rare cases when you must change the folder organization, for instance moving files to another drive. The folder view is here to prevent you from changing things from the explorer and outside of the Organizer.
- The new folder list view, which you find 'funny' is there to help better organizing using tags. Its huge advantage is that such a view is created extremely quickly by extracting the last subfolder in the media table : it's the way the database sees the folders, based on its own content, totally ignoring the complex folder organization of your disk with media files or any unrelated other kind of data. You should use it in many cases, the main purpose being assigning tags when you have assigned descriptive folder names. I had suggested such a solution to prevent the long standing bugs in the folder view of previous versions.
So yes, the purpose is:
- to speed up switching modes
- to help folder organization fans to migrate to tags organization
- to hopefully get rid of the old folder organization bugs

How do you make mobile numbers the default number used in your contacts for sending text?

How do you make mobile numbers the default number used in your contacts for sending text?

Go to your contacts, find the contact that you wish to text, hit 'edit', and move that contact's numbers around until the mobile number is at the top. Arduous I know, but it works. Now when you go to text that person, the mobile number should be the default.
Best.

Please Help! How do i make MS OFFICE the default programs for opening files

Hey,
Someone please tell me how to make MS OFFICE the default for opening up excel, word and pp files....Ever since i migrated all my stuff to my new 24in everything opens up in iwork instead of office, which is really annoying.
Thanks in advance,
JW

Hi skymedic: Quite easy to set the default program actually. Find a file you need to open, single click. then Right Click and select "Get Info". When this window opens, select the program to be used then click "Change All'. Please note you will need to do this for all file types you want to open with Office. EG: .DOC .PPS .PPT .XLS etc..
Good Luck

How can I make expanded threads the default view?

I would of answered you, but I can not remember how I did it. I have a folder set that way. So it was something simple. It is the hard stuff I tend to remember.
Almost all compose issues can be "cured" using the workaround of pressing enter 3 or 4 times and then moving the cursor back to the start. The composer has the annoying ability to go past the end of the document by one character and pick up the defaults used in developing the program.
Simply Typing your name and then returning to the beginning to type will bypass that.
This add-on https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/quoteandcomposemanager-en.html with it's stabilize fonts setting has been a big help to some.
Not pasting from Word is also a big help.

Matt, thanks very much for replying. I'll give the trick you mention a try. However, the extension you recommend isn't approved by Mozilla and I'm very reluctant to install something which isn't.
Anyway, pretty sad when extensions have to be created to deal with bugs the developers should find solutions for. Maybe they're trying to convince people to give up TB so that they can totally drop it like they want.

How can I make folder view the default view when I open Organizer?

I just bought Adobe Elements Photshop and Premier 11. I spent 2 to 3 hours getting my picture video library into Adobe's organizer. I had some problems with duplicate picture (that I wanted to be there - so I had to rename them) and a couple pictures with corrupted metadata. After I got all that sorted out I am a bit miffed about the folder view on Adob'es organizer.
I love that you can switch to folder view - since this is how I have been organizing my pictures for a long time. I would like to continue organizing this way for now until I get a grasp on the other ways I can organize them in elements. However, every time I close and re-open organizer it switches back to the default view instead of folder view. PLEASE tell me that there is a way to set folder view to the default view! HELP!

How can i make 'hide toolbar' the default in finder

Want to get rid of the Finder toolbar aka "Hide Toolbar" as the norm. If it is a matter of turning the feature off completely and never seeing the side bar stuff and all the buttons, so be it.
In short instead of this:
I would like this
for every window I open without having to manually turn the tool bars off each and every time a new (vs old) window is opened.
Incidentally "FooCmd" is a project I am going to build that does this in some way. I should not have to write code... it should be something simple to make the windows in the finder more streamlined (isn't that the new way of Jony Appleseed?)

Found a brute force way of this which walks a tight rope.
First,close all of your Finder windows. Then delete all the hidden files named ".DS_Store" on every hard disk (volume) you have. Then open a finder window on each disk, hide the toolbar with Command-Shift-T, then close the Finder window. After this, your default view for that disk becomes that last view you saw. You have to do this for each disk which is kind of a pain but better than the "open folder, press command-shift-T" for every bloody folder.
To do this via Terminal...
1) Close all Finder windows (hold option key, close one of them)
2) use SpotLight to find "Terminal" and launch Terminal
3) type
cd
and a space in the terminal window after the ">" prompt appears
4) drag and drop a hard disk into the Terminal window after the "cd ". This puts the "path" name in there...
5) press return. This sets the default folder location for Terminal (default directory) to the hard disk
6) run this command (copy and paste it into terminal, press return after pasting)
sudo find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete
7) when prompted, enter your administrator account password (yes, you need to be admin, sorry)
This will take a long time if you have a big disk, lots of folders, etc. The square 1970's terminal cursor will sit there and blink under the "P" in the word "Password" for quite a while. (shades of the original "Tron" movie). There may be a couple of errors spit out by this command line tool, don't worry it continues on riding it's little light cycle through your hard disk wacking only the ".DS_Store" files as it goes. The program named "find" will be eating quite a bit of processor if you are into checking on that sort of thing with Activity Monitor or another Terminal window with "top".
At the end you will have your display looking something like this (without all the red ink):
You need to repeat for each disk you have. Be aware that if you set the view to the "show toolbar" and then open a new folder below, that button junk-loaded window view default starts to take root again and spreads. (technically it's not a virus but it sure acts like one).

How can I make 16:9 the default import format in PE7?

Clips recorded in 16:9 (PAL) format on my JVC Everio hard drive camcorder show up in 4:3 format when imported into Premiere Elements 7. This means all the clips are distorted vertically.
I have discovered that I can convert them to 16:9 by displaying them in "Edit", highlighting them, right-clicking and then selecting "Interpret Footage | Conform to DV1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9". But it's a hassle having to do this every time. Is there a way of fixing 16:9 as the DEFAULT import setting so that all my imported clips are correctly displayed automatically? (You can do this on Corel's VideoStudio 11.)

Clips from JVC Everio camcorders have always had this problem with Premiere Elements (all versions). You need to select Interpret Footage.

How can I make new Pages the default without deleting old Pages

I have installed the new Pages, but all my mac keeps trying to open stuff in the old Pages, even though the new Pages is set to the default.

The newer applications is always the default one. You are trying to open a document created in Pages 5 in the older Pages 4.3. You are probably using one of the icons in the Dock or the Launch pad. They are the older icons, linking to the older Pages, but look like the new ones.
Try opening a document by Right clicking (Ctrl + click) on the document and you will get options of PAges to open the document with.
