How do I stop my pages from changing (paragraphs breaking, chapters moving) when trying to export?

I'm fairly new to indesign and am self teaching myself via the internet and books. I'm working on a novel layout and I had it finished and what I thought looked nice. The last step was to export it to a PDF format I thought. Well, when I export it and then view the PDF a few paragraphs are broken with a few lines between the first part and second part. Chapters also lose their position. I would go back into InDesign and check and it would be that was in indesign as well. I've fixed it a dozen times. Double and triple checked the pages before hitting export again. Again, more trouble, but it would be in different places. Am I doing something wrong during the export?

Did you start this book in an earlier version if InDesign and convert it? If so, the text engine is different in the new version and stories reflow when you touch them in some way. You can force ID to recompose all stories using the Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl + Alt +/ on Windows or Cmd + Opt + / on Mac, then check carefully throughthe whole thing.
You can also force a recompose by exporting to .idml and opeing that, then saving with a new name. (See Remove minor corruption by exporting)

    how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media.  i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

    No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

  • How to stop the computer from changing its local network name when waking up from sleep mode

    How do I prevent a mac mini from changing its' network name automatically when it wakes up from sleep mode... It will wake up and display a warning that the network name is already in use and it changes its name to (n+1) name with number after it... I know that there is no other device with that name because the only other things on the network are 2 hard drives (one being used for time capsule) and a printer..
    This is very annoying and needs to be fixed.... don't tell me to make the computer never sleep because that defeats the power savings settings under power management.

    Go to System Preferences>Network>AirPort and delete your network from the Preferred Networks box. Reenter your network information. Make sure that AirPort is the topmost listed interface when you Show Port Configurations. Apply the changes and Restart. Does it work now?

  • How do you stop your kid from changing the plan?

    I can't actually call a number? There's none listed on this site. I need to stop my kid from changing the plan from 3 gig to 10 bc I can't afford it and I'm going to end up canceling the service if I can't get help. They shouldn't be able to do this. I e had nothing but problems from the start. First getting a used iPad and used phone out of the 3 and being locked out bc the previous owner had I tunes passwords on the phone and on the iPad. Then I was told I was signing up for the next plan and that wasn't so now I have a crapload of extra charges because I can't get ahold of anyone to try to fix this. I'm so frustrated I could blow up!!!

    Put a passcode on the account. That way, he will have to know the passcode to change the plan. If he doesn't know the passcode, he can't change the account.

  • Facebook is my home page on Mozilla; everytime I go to log in, my browser has been changed to proxy. I have to change this every time in order to get face book to load; how do I stop the browser from changing to proxy?

    My internet option state "do not use a proxy" but each time I go to long in on Firefox to Facebook, the proxy server has been changed to showing proxy and I can not get on to facebook until I go in and change it back to Do Not use Proxy. The problem is the setting does not stay but every time I go back to long on it's back to proxy server? How do I get it to not change???

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

  • How do I stop my audio from changing pitch when moving it to another track?

    I read up a bit on the "Flex" settings, however, I can't seem to turn it completely off. The flex button is not engaged, however, when I move audio from one track to another, the pitch changes. How do I stop this completely?

    You have to disable it on the tracks themselves too. The 'main' flex button only turns on and off Flex view, and not flex itself.
    Flex view on, track flexed
    Flex view off, track flexed (or not?)
    Flex view on, track not flexed

  • When I navigate to a new page, an additonal page (with a notice that Firefox is blocking access to the page) pops up. How can I stop the page from poping up?

    How do I stop the pop up screens from popping up? I just want the screen I ask for to open

    What is the wording of the message? Could you post a screen shot showing what it looks like? This article has tips on how to do that: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
    Also, does the add-on TopArcadeHits sound familiar? You might want to try disabling it here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Then restart Firefox (usually there is a handy link for this after disabling).

  • How do I stop i-tunes from changing the genres for my songs without my consent?

    Lately, itunes has been taking the genres I've set for my songs and changing them without my consent or say so.  I change them back to what I want, i-tunes changes it back to what it wants, etc.. 
    For example, I might list something as "Rock", but i-tunes decides it's "Pop" or "Alternate Rock" and edits my file's meta-data unilaterally.  I might decide I want a category called "Christmas Music", but i-tunes decides the genre is "Holiday Music".  I even have a few songs labeled "Urban", and i-tunes tries to change them to "Hip-Hop/Rap" or "Rap/Hip-hope".  I took a lot of time with my large music collection to get this stuff exactly the way I wanted it- simplified.  I-tunes is screwing it up.
    This is *my* music.  I even bought it all legally on a limited budget.  I get to decide what genre I want it listed as.
    Is there a setting or something I can change to get i-tunes to stop messing my music genre data?  Or do I have to find a new music player?
    I've got a long suffering ipod classic I was thinking of replacing at some point, but I may leave the i-tunes ecosystem entirely over this instead.  To make things worse, my ipod with it's troubled syncing and broken buttons now has to deal with constantly recopying files with new genres every time I sync and itunes or I have changed something in our constant man versus machine battle- just try have hundreds of songs recopied each time without an error on something that barely can handle normal syncing after reconnecting 10 times or so every sync because it doesn't take the first 9 times.
    I don't want to fight my music player.  I just want the thing to work and do what I instruct it to do.  Either that or I'm going to have to rename it "HAL" and start calling myself "Dave" ala 2001: A Space Odessy.  Because this thing seems to be turning on me.

    Ugh.  I thought I was exagerating when I said song name changes were next.  Apparently, I was literally correct.  I haven't seen it yet personally, but Tooltomus says he has.
    I thought the genre changes had stopped, only to see that they'd started up again a few minutes ago.  This is getting really old really fast.
    Again, why does Apple seem to think it can do whatever it wants to our bought and paid for music without our permission?  This isn't about interface changes or whatever, which are all well within their rights, but to actually alter our files themselves without asking or even notifying us.  They've got to be kidding...  Isn't there some way to turn this off?
    Why are they doing this?  What's the point of it?  Is it intentional or some kind of bug?  Is anyone from Apple going to bother to even tell us?
    I feel like I had some great music software and a great music player.  I've used them for hours every day for years.  I really love smart playlists and a whole bunch of features.  It's very upsetting to see them go in this direction.
    You know, record companies and music sellers have been pushing the idea of legally purchased files for years, saying it's just the same as CDs or whatever.  And I've been dutifully buying my files this whole time from various legal sellers instead of pirating them.  And now they're basically doing the equivalent of breaking into my home and messing around with my CDs- scrobbling all over the covers and album booklets, etc.. 
    Why even have a genre setting the user can change if the program is going to keep overriding it and change genres?  Why even have a song setting the user can change if the program is going to keep overriding it and change song titles?  What happens when the program gets something wrong?
    Anyone know how to turn this off?  Would going back to itunes 10 help or is this coming from the server to every version of itunes?  Is there other music player software that will leave my music alone that will preserve my playcounts, ratings, playlists, last played, and so on and so forth, and support syncing to my ipod?  Can I somehow cut itunes off from contacting apple's servers to look up information and make these changes?

  • How do I stop the page from re-directing when I am searching for something? It re-directs to something that has nothing at all to do with what I was searching for

    I put something in the search bar such as "making centerpieces for baby shower" or I put it into google. Then a bunch of matches come up, I click on one that looks good, but immediately it goes to "re-direct" and a web site comes up that has nothing at all to do with the search like an auto shop or something.

    I would need more details for this, as you have mentioned rulers move ? Are you referring to rulers on page in design ?
    You can move a guide lower down the page , ruler marks will be displayed on ruler but that will not stop you moving the guides.
    What happens if you uncheck rulers from top view options ?

  • How do I stop Lion Mail from "changing flags?"

    I noticed that the new Lion Mail (5) gets hung up. When I check the activity pane, it always says "Changing Flags." Clicking the stop sign icon will stop this temporarily, but every few hours Mail gets hung up on this again.
    Any idea what's going on?

    Hi Douglass,
    You will need to navigate to the following folder.
    /Users/yourusername/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    and backup the following file... MessageRules.plist
    Open the file in BBedit to confirm your rules are infact inside that particular plist file as Mail will also create backups occasionally.
    Once you reinstall, do a compare/replace with the newly created MessageRules.plist and you should be able to bring your "old" rules into your fresh install.
    as for mailboxes, those are contained within this folder
    /Users/yourusername/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes
    and it will be up to you to backup those files and File/Import Mailboxes them into the new install.

  • Duplicate Function? How do I stop the pages from playing? Please help.

    I'm EXTREMELY new to AS3 and Flash. I'm using Photoshop to design the site, and, although it was working at first, I've got a navbar up top, and after I added the codes, I got a duplicate Function error.
    Here is the code:
    stop();
    addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myBtnHandler1);
    function myBtnHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
        gotoAndStop(1, "Scene 3");
    Another problem is that it keeps playing as in, going through the scenes. Is that just a "Test" thing, or is there a way to fix that? Please help me figure out what codes to use for them.

    There could be a number of problems with your movie. In the Control menu, there is an option, Loop Playback, that will cause the movie to loop when using Test Movie from the Control Menu. If there is a compiler error, the movie will loop uncontrollably when you Test. Look in the compiler errors window to see if you have any errors.
    You may want to consider not using Scenes in your movie. They are a vestige of the earliest versions of Flash. Are you following a tutorial?

  • How do I stop a page from scrolling vertically?

    I have just started using Adobe Muse and am using a accordion text widget on one page. The problem is that when I preview the site the whole page scrolls up and down, including the footer. The accordion is overlapping the footer.
    I don't want the pages to move at all, I want everything just on one page so that there is no scrolling up and down and I want the footer to stay where it is.
    I can't solve this, I've tried everything!

    Hello,
    Please go to File -> Site Properties and disable sticky footer and see if that resolves the issue.
    Cheers
