How do I resize the "Save Document as" dialog box

I have an office laptop with InDesign CS 5.5 somehow my dialog box has become huge! and I can't figure out how to make it smaller again. (see screenshot below)
Whenever it is saving I have hovered my mouse over the edges and corners and it just keeps the circle showing that it is busy and won't let me resize it.
I don't mind it so much when I have my laptop docked and am using the duel screens at the office but when I am having to work from home on the laptop the box is taller than my screen.
Unfortunately since this is a work computer I can't do anything such as uninstall and reinstall without having to involve the IT department. Is there an option I'm not finding or a cool shortcut I can try to make this dialogue box go back to it's original size?
side notes:
InDesign CS5.5 (not most updated version because it will not work with MediaLink)
my InDesign is paired up with MediaLink which helps handle the flow of advertisements that need to be worked on

It's hard to tell exactly what is the Save As dialog box, but I'm guessing it's the large gray rectangle on the left side.
I don't think this is an InDesign problem as much as a Windows problem.
You may have to bring your IT people into this.

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
2. The reason to select a leading check box
3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
Thanks

As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

Firefox 3.6.8 won't open local php files. It opens the save as text dialog box instead.

When I try to open a local php file on my MAC hard drive with FF 3.6.8, the save file dialog box opens instead. It says: You have chosen to open index.php which is a TextEdit.app Document. I do not have this problem with Firefox 3.5.11.
I have tried:
opening the file directly from Firefox as well as
double clicking the file (which is the most common way).
I have also tried changing the file "open with" preference to "open with Firefox." That did not work either.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
I'm on a MAC OS 10.5.8
Thnx, Nick

You have to delete mimeTypes.rdf.
You can find it here (Windows XP): C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Aplication Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default.

Obey the suffix in the Save As... dialog box

When I save out a JPEG version, for example to email for comment, I often name it by clicking the previous version of that JPEG to pick up the name. Then it's easy to forget to choose JPEG from the file type menu. The result is a PSD file with a .jpg suffix, which is never a good idea.
The best solution would be for Photoshop to obey the .jpg suffix and save it as a JPEG.
Other options include opening a dialog box to point out the inconsistency, or forcing the suffix to match the file type from the popup menu.
What do you think?

I recommend you get Default Folder. I've considered it a must have utility for my systems since OS9 Classic days. It greatly helps in navigation for the ever deficient file dialogs in OSX (and OS9).

How do I fix the slow attachment file dialog box in Mail?

I'm on 10.9.2, using Mail with an Exchange account. Everything works great except when I go to attach a file to an outgoing email the file dialog box takes ~1 minute to open. Only app I've seen this in.
I've tried the fixes posted for the general file dialog box being slow (e.g. comment out "/net" in the "auto_master" file) to no avail.
Other thoughts?

Click on the Firefox menu. Then click "Options". Go to "Applications" tab. Search for jpg and png file type. You will find they have "Always ask" action attribute. Change it to "Save file".
Hope it will work fine for you.

How do I move the 'save as' dialog out of my way in Preview?

I have a stack of pdf files to rename, for which I need to read the contents. The filenames are composed from the authors, title and date which are inside the documents. The trouble is that I can't save them without the 'save as' dialog occluding the document, which I need to see in order to fish out the authors, title and date.
How can I move the 'save as' dialog off the document view?
Is there another way around this problem?
I'm using Snow Leopard's version of Preview, in case it matters.

Yes, that makes it pretty much impossible if you need to grab text from various places first and assemble it into the file name you want.
I can copy/paste text out of a PDF with the Adobe Reader into a Save As dialogue box, but then run into your same issue with Preview. I can't move back to the document to get another snippet of text.

I am using a doc formatted on excel --- how do i resize the doc to fit on one page?

I am using a document that was formatted in excel (on a PC) --- how do i resize the document to print on one page?

Hi phylw,
Here is one way. View > Show Print View. At the bottom of the window is a slider control called Content Scale. Slide to the left to shrink the document.
Under File > Print... you will see a print preview that tells you how many pages the document now occupies.

How to find out the save as setting information in illustrator cs3?

How to find out the save as setting information in illustrator cs3 through programmatically. I saved the file using the setting like Overprint, EmbedAllFonts, IncludeDocumentThumbnails throgh scripting. But i don't know how to find out the save as setting information(Overprint, EmbedAllFonts, IncludeDocumentThumbnails) whether the checkbox true or not through scripting. Kindly advice me.

Thanks for your response. Some time the operator will set the wrong "save as setting" in the eps file . So i need to check wheather the operator set the correct save as setting or not. If the operator set the wrong save as setting, i need to inform while running the script. So please advice me how to find out the save as setting information of the active document file, and then inform to the operator if any improper "save as setting" occured.

When I attach a PDF document in mail only the first page appears. How do I get the whole document to work

Title says it all. I go to attach file add the fild and the first page shows up in the body of the email. How do I get the whole document to show up?

You can't get the whole document to appear on your side.
When you send it, the entire document will be sent. Normally, clicking on it will open it in preview where you can see all pages. If you want to see it in this way, just cc: or bcc: yourself on the email when you send it.

Sorry no. That's how it works.
Check if you still have an old backup and do a restore otherwise it's gone.

There is no such thing. You will have to adjust the artboard and then manually rotate the content to fit.

How do I resize the window of pages in the new version? It takes up most of my desktop. I would like to make it tall and narrow, which was possible in the old pages, but I cannot seem to do it in the new version.

I agree it is a very bad and wasteful design especially for users on small laptop screens.
You can drag it to whatever shape you want from the bottom left corner.
Click on the paintbrush to make the Format side panel disappear. However you will need to use that side panel for most formatting.
