How do I save CS4 documents in CS5 without save as dialog?

At my college, they have CS4 (master suite) and at home I've got CS5 (design premium). I can save files in CS5 as CS4 so they can be read at college (by Flash) but I have to do it via the "save as" every time I save. After a couple of times, it get rather irritating. Is it possible for me to save in the usual way (as if it was a CS5 document) without the save as dialog every time I save my work?

I know that. Basically, every time I save, I need to do the following:
If I save as usual I get the following pop-up (see image)
So I have to open the "Save As" Dialog, save the file, I get the do you want to save over previous query and I'm done. I know this doesn't sound like much but it gets a bit frustrating to have to do that every time I want to save. Why can't I just do the usual Ctrl+S as this format and be done with it? I save quite a lot so as not to risk losing changes if Flash crashes.

CS4 document in CS5: Text is underlayed yellow

Hi,
when opening a CS4 document in CS5, some text is now underlayed yellow. Strangely, almost always just headings and not all words or even letters.
Can anyone tell me what this means and which settings are responsible for this?
Thanks!

Just found the answer to my own question, and a resulting new question.
Preferences > Composition tab was a good tip.
If the "replace glyphs" box is checked AND the text uses CAPITAL LETTERS, either through a paragraph or character format or using the All Caps icon in the tool bar, the text is underlayed yellow. Sometimes all letters of all words, sometimes all letters except the first letter of a word...
Also, some combinations of letters in regular "Body" text are also underlayed yellow, e.g. letter combination "fi" or "fl" anywhere in a word. Changing the font does not make any difference.
This seems to me quite strange behavior... What is it supposed to mean? Are CAPITAL LETTERS or letters like "fi" or "fl"now glyphs? Is this "normal" CS5 behavior?

How do I get CS4 working when CS5 trial stops everything?

My CS5 Trial has wrecked my CS4 application entirely.
I have newspaper pages that are now frozen and my deadline has gone past.
I am out thousands of dollars.

Sorry, I've been surfing since 1994 but I don't know how to do this in a software program. Please give me a little more detail on how to do this.
Thanks. -- Victor Fletcher............................................

Problem with opening cs4 document in cs5.5

I have quite a big document of a catalog, created in InDesign cs4. It contains many layers and different master pages. When I open this document in cs5.5 layers and master pages get completely confused and the document looks completely different. When I created the inx-file in cs4 and opened it in cs3 everything was alright. Does anybody know what the problem in cs5.5 could the problem? Am I doing sth wrong?

I've been looking at the file, and it is indeed a puzzlement.
There is some good news, however. I don't know why it is happening (perhaps a bug, and maybe John would like to take a look at this, too), but it looks like the Paper-filled rectangle from Hinweise layer on the right of Master Ee is being copied to the left half of the actual document spreads on random layers. The pages that seem to be blank are easy to spot in the Page panel (22, 24, 26 & 32) and you can simply Cmd-Shift click on the rectangles on those pages to override and your text and graphics will be revealed. I'm not immediately picking up any other problems scanning quickly through the pages. For a quick and dirty get it done solution, I think this will work, though I would use the .inx file rather than the .indd for the conversion in CS5.5.
I've looked through the file history, and it is long. This started out in 2007 in CS2 and has gone through updates in CS3 and CS4, and been recovered from crashes at least 4 times (which might have something to do with the strangeness). I also think there are a lot of extraneous unused frames on many of the pages. If it were my project, I'd probably clean it up as much as possible in CS4, even going as far as recreating the master pages in a new document and then going page by page and doing a copy/paste in place of all non-master objects into the new file if you don't want to spend the time to place everythign again from scratch, which in my opinion would be a better idea (I tried moving the pages to a new file, but that didn't make any difference in the CS5.5 conversion). You could also rebuild from Scratch in CS5.5.

In InDesign CS5 when I "save" a document it brings up "save as" window

Since switching over to my new version of CS5 whenever I click 'save' in the 'file' menu, it brings up 'save as' window and wants to save it in the place I last saved something. Really annoying as I keep getting files ending up saved all over the place. Normally you click 'save' and it just overwrites the original version, dangerous sometimes but much easier.
Is there any way I can stop it doing this?

And I don't know why it reverts to the last saved folder instead of the folder you opened it from?
It's annoying, but it makes some logical sense. A converted file is considered to be "new", so it is treated the same way as if you created a new file, whcih would not have had a previous location, and the program needs to default to someplace, so it picks the last folder used for that operation.
Just becasue it's logical, though, doesn't mean it has to be that way (seems to me that prior to CS4 it wasn't, in fact). I think this would make a good user preference, so if you care, hit the wishform again. Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Adobe flash error: unable to save the document please try to save it to a different file name

Hi,
I am editing few fla files with my Adobe Flash Professional. Suddenly it stopped saving them and is giving me an error; unable to save the document as... please try to save it to a different file name or to a different location.
i changed the location to save the files, but I still receive the same error.
Is there any one who knows how to deal with this error?
Thanks,

close flash. right click its icon or start program and click "run as administrator". save your fla.
if that fails: restart your computer, create a new directory on your desktop and save a test fla (eg, named test) to that new directory. any problem?

How do I resolve CS4 documents from crashing when saving or checking in stories with InCopy?

We have been having a persistent problem with InDesign CS4. After creating certain documents (off templates), they seems fine for hours, even days, but eventually, the time it takes to save increases and increases until eventually InDesign crashes. Though the work is recovered when the program restarts, attempting to save still causes the program to crash. The same crashing problem happens when trying to check in stories that have been placed using with InCopy. We have reset preferences and coordinated all the versions and serial numbers on our network to eliminate any conflict. Is there anything anyone can suggest? This has been goign on for more than a month and is seriously slowing our production cycle.
Thanks,

First, on the black bars. I do not want them at all. I cannnot post a screenshot now as
file attachments are turned off temporarily, but they are about 5% on either side. Totally unacceptable especially when in CS3 when exported to Encore there are NO black bars either visible in Encore or in the resulting DVD's
On the options and is the preset saved. I can close Encore and open it afresh and find the preset that I saved listed in the dropdown of presets with the name I saved it as and all the settings the way I want them.
On the issue of Transcode settings when selecting the resource... When I select the resource in the Project panel, or in the Timeline tab, the Transcode settings is greyed out. I have consulted the help screens and forums for various ways to change the transcode settings and none of the suggested ways work.
It looks like my CS4 install does not work the way yours does. I am about to completely unistall CS4 and CS3 and all other Adobe products and try a fresh reinstall to see if that works. Most likely I will simply reinstall CS#, since that works, and abandon CS4 for now as I am getting way behind on my work, and know I can finish with CS3. I have also heard form others that Sony Vegas is really solid and does not have all these weird bugs such as seen in CS4 and CS5, and is a much less bloated product and does the encodings faster. Since it is also less expensive, this seems too good to be true, but work a trial. So first rip every Adobe product off my PC and format the HD and start fress with JUST CS3 and get my work done. Then try Vegas to see if it is as good as my buddies say, if so bye bye Adobe!

How do I remove a document from iCloud without it being deleted from my Mac?

Open it in Pages on your Mac, then choose File>Export and save it locally.

How do I install CS4 on other computer without disks?

I was overseas when I purchased CS4 via a download and installed it on my laptop. I now want to install it on my desktop at home in the US, but I'm puzzled as to how best to go about doing this because I only have some files on my laptop from the original download purchase. I do not have any installation disks to install CS4 on my desktop. How do I go about installing it onto my desktop?

When you purchased to download you made a account on the adobe website. Just click on "your account" and log in. You should still be able to download. Also burn a copy of the download to a DVD so you will have it in the future.

How can I recover a document I closed without saving?

I was working in a recovered photo on photoshop CC and then I close the image before save it. How can I open again that image without losing any process ?

Then that file is still on your hard drive. Photoshop lists it as recovered because it was open when your computer shut off by itself. PS does that automatically. Do you remember the name of the image? Look in the folder you keep your images, it should be in there.

How can I open textedit documents using Word without the document looking like gobbledygook?

Word documents from other computers open in Textedit on my macbook pro (10.6.8). When I try to open them with Word -- by using "open with" or changing the preference in "get info" or just by dragging the file to the Word icon on my dashboard -- I get a window asking what I want to convert the file from. No matter what I choose, the documents open as a jumble of symbols. Is there any way to change this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

That's true, and that's what I've been doing, but I use dropbox to work on documents on different computers, and pasting things into new documents makes it more difficult to keep things organized. I'm hoping there's a way to created a Word document on my macbook air, put it in my dropbox folder, and then open it as a Word document on my macbook pro. Is that feasible?
