How do you make InDesign CS5.5 save a mixed-case word to the user dictionary?

My spell checker will save most words to the user dictionary, but not all upper case or mixed case words. In my work these are often these since the are commonly used acronyms.
How do I make it save these to the user dictionary?

You haven't mentioned that you have an Adobe product that can create forms but if you have Acrobat, you would save it as a Reader extended PDF (you may or may not want t use Designer as mentioned above. That creates a certain type of form which it sounds like you don't need).
As far as the usage limit, if only a few people will be filling it in, they can do it an unlimited amount of times. The 500 limit only comes to play if you have sent the form to an unspecified amount of people (such as a form for customers that is available on a web site). Then you could only collect the data from that form 500 times.
But, let's talk a little more about what software you have. Acrobat? If so, what version (saving the extended file for Reader users is different between versions.)?

How do you make PP CS5 use more allocated physical memory???

As you know, you can go to Preferences > Memory and change the amount of RAM reserved for other applications.
Now, I have 8 GB of RAM installed (Windows 7), and I have set my “RAM reserved for other applications” option to 1.5 GB. That leaves 6.5 GB of memory for Adobe AE, Pr, Encore and Media Encoder.
Here’s the problem: every time when I’m rendering or exporting in Premiere, I can see through Task Manager that Premiere uses only 1.5 or 2.0 GB of the physical memory, not the 6.5 GB that I’ve allocated. I know the rest is reserved for other applications, but none of them are running at the moment. So, how can I make PP CS5 use more of all the physical memory that’s left?

Memory management in CS5 is clever enough to use an amount of memory that minimizes the use of the page file and maximizes buffers, However that depends on the material in the project, the effects and transitions used, the export format and the hardware in use.
There is no sense in using large amounts of memory, when other components cause waiting before the contents of memory can be offloaded. Just as it makes no sense to use a Ferrari in traffic jams.

How do you transfer InDesign CS5 prefs to CS6?

Just upgraded to CS6 and want to get all of my creative suite prefs over from CS5. Possible?

Should work if you fillow the directions for backing up your prefs here: Replace Your Preferences
Instead of replacing waht you have in CS5, paste the files/ folders into the same locations in CS6.

How do you make programs open and close into their own tab in the dock, like they do in windows?

You know in Windows, how there is a tab for each program in the taskbar? And, if the program is minimized, when you click the tab, the programs restores. And when you click the tab again, the program minimizes.
Can this be done on Mac?
Thanks!
Bret

Here's my ungrateful response...
I should have posted screen shots in the first place!
Here is what I'm talking about. In the first screen shot (in Windows), you can see that there are programs running in the taskbar, but all the windows are minimized. The mouse is hovering over the "Computer" tab in the tasbar at the bottom of the screen. I am about to click the left mouse button once to restore the "Computer" window onto the desktop, but I haven't clicked it yet...
In this next screen shot, you can see that I have just clicked the left mouse button once and the "Computer" window has been restored (is now showing on the screen)...
Then, WITHOUT MOVING THE MOUSE TO ANY BUTTON IN THE "COMPUTER" WINDOW, ETC, IE. THE MOUSE IS STILL IN THE SAME PLACE IT WAS WHEN I CLICKED THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON ONCE TO RESTORE THE WINDOW, I click the mouse button again and the window minimizes!...
All I'm asking is if anyone knows of a way to mimic this behaviour in OSX (in the dock) - either within the operating system itself, or with an addon app, etc.
Right now, as you know, in OSX when you click the program in the dock, the program restores, but then you have to move the mouse and click on the yellow button at the top-left of the program window to minimize it again. This is because once you click the program window icon in the dock to restore the program window, the icon is then removed from the dock - thus disallowing the possibility of clicking it again, without moving the mouse, to minimize the program window. I'm trying to see if there is a way so you don't have to move the mouse to toggle the window from minimized to restored to minimized again.
Or to be even more clear...
This next screen shot shows the desktop in OSX (mine happens to be Lion 10.7.5) and we can see that the Firefox program window is minimized into the dock into a Firefox program window icon. I have not yet clicked the mouse button to restore the Firefox program, but I am about to. The red circle at the bottom left of the screen shows where the mouse is...
Here, in this next screen shot, is the screen once I have clicked the mouse button on the Firefox dock window icon and the Firefox program window has been restored...
As you can see, the Firefox dock window icon that I just clicked has disappeared and, in that place instead, the red circle is now over a different dock window icon. The Firefox dock window icon is now missing from the dock and is therefore unclickable. If the Firefox dock window icon was still there, I could just click on it again to minimize the Firefox program window, and subsequently click it again to restore, and so on - like I am able to do in Windows.
I hope this clears things up.

How do you make images transparent in inDesign?

How do you make images transparent in Adobe InDesign CS5.5?

Dittco wrote:
It IS possible: Select the image. Open effects (Window > Effects). Switch from "normal" to "multiply". Viola! White background is gone.
That only works with a white background. In addition, it introduces a transparency effect, with its associated problems.
With a rather light background: Select the image. Open clipping path (Object > Clipping Path > Options). Select Type > Detect Edges; use Threshold and Tolerance to get as close as possible to the edge of your image. This may be difficult because of a too low resolution image, or too much fringe on the edge -- if all fails, use the Inset Frame value to force the mask "into" the image. Click OK, and the background is gone.
But that's not the only way: you can always create a clipping path manually, and then you are in total control, not limited by transparency side effects, auto-edge detection, and busy backgrounds.

How do you make page 1 the active page?

I am trying to write a script to perform a data merge, followed by a find/replace, page add, and finally export. I can get it to perform the merge and find/replaces that are needed.
When I add a new page manually I normally select the first page in the pages window then click add a new page at the bottom. Doing that makes every page after that go to 2 pages(like an open book). I don't know how to do this in the script, what I tried below didn't work. It adds a new page at the end of the document and that page is the active one on screen.
app.activeDocument.pages.item(0).select();
app.activeDocument.pages.add();
After the merge, editing gets really slow, taking 15-20 per letter I add or delete.The only way i've found to have it edit like you'd expect is by exporting it to the IDML format then reopening that file in InDesign. I haven't been able to find much on exporting via a script. I've seen exports similar to:
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, newDoc, false);
But I don't know if that will work or not.
I'm very new to scripting in InDesign. I'm using InDesign CS5.5.

Hi again
This could work for the IDML export
main();
exit();
function main() {
          myDoc = app.activeDocument;
          f = new File("/Users/afile.idml");     // here you have to adapt it for your needs.
          app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP,f, false);

How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

Hello Forum.
How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool. But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
So I tried something new. I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area. Then I coped this area. Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator. But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
How do I make the background transparent.
I made this small video to show what I am talking about:
http://youtu.be/2LgMGEF6z10

Don't Copy/Paste the image.
Make it transparent in Photoshop, save a PSD and place it in Illustrator

How do you make new pages from a page so they have the first page in their address.

I am talking about something like the adobe site.
Like www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/whatever
How do you make a page be under another like the dreamweaver page is a link from the support page.
My goal is something like this.
I have www.architecture.com/profile
I need
www.architecture.com/profile/Commercial
www.architecture.com/profile/Residential

If im understanding you correctly, you want the folder to have an automatic landing page. Ex. If your folder is
"profile" you want the visitor to see the first profile page when they visit www.yoursite.com/profile. Correct?
If thats what you need, name the page you want your visitor to see when they go to ex. www.yoursite.com/profile "index.html" or "index.php" ad save that file in your "profile" folder. When you're visitor will go to www.yoursite.com/profile the page you named "index" will open.
Let me know if you dont understand or if its not what your trying to do.

How do you make background gradient?

Hey all,
How would you make the background color a gradient effect,
such as black at the top fading toward gray at the bottom?
And also, on top of that, how would you make a rectangular
main area as your website-content area? It would almost fill the
page, but not quite- so the leftover width would be the gradient
background. The rectangular area would have a background of all
black.
Thanks!

How do you make ruler display ticks every 12 inches instead of every 16 inches?

Hi all,
How do you make ruler display ticks every 12 inches instead of every 16 inches?

I just wish that common features like layers, color, swatches, styles, masks, adjustments, character, paragraph and so on - looked and functioned the same across adobe applications. Is that too much to ask for?
In some cases, that would be absurd. Photoshop and Illustrator are fundamentally differerent environments, as they should be. Photoshop Layers and Illustrator/InDesign Layers are entirely different things, because a vector drawing program works with arranging OBJECTS (raster images, vector paths, text objects) in a Z stacking order and XY position. A Photoshop Layer is essentially just another raster image of the same pixel count as all the others, viewed optionally opaquely or transparently on your screen. It would be ridiculous if Photoshop created a whole new raster image every time you colored another selection of pixels. It would be ridiculous if Illustrator created a new Layer everytime you draw a new path.
Regarding text, Photoshop and Illustrator share the same lame text engine. Illustrator's should be like InDesign's, not like Photoshop's.
And that is a good case-in-point negating the silly defensiveness of Illustrator's outdated and buggy functionality. Illustrator's text handling remains poor today. But it was not updated even to today's treatment until CS 1. For most of its history, its text handling was pathetically primitive compared to that of other programs which were designed for exactly the same purpose and which competed directly with it. Should one "defend" that fact with some nonsensical argument that 'Illustrator is not meant to be a word processor'?
It was not until AI10 that its print dialog acquired a simple Fit To Page command. You had to manually figure and enter a scale factor, and that was limited on the low end to 25%. Can that logically be "defended" on the basis that 'AI is not an imagesetter'? Every dang software on the planet provides a Fit To Page print option!
This "It's not a technical illustration program" argument is every bit as nonsensical. Every one of Illustrator's direct competitors provides for user-defined drawing scales, and has for decades. Illustrator is just as "technical" a drawing program as those others are. It's just particularly lame at it in this regard. And since when is "technical" illustration not "illustration"? And since when is user-defined drawing scale only needed for "technical" illustration? Absolutely ridiculous.
So what if in its infancy Illustrator was a tool for PostScript workflow? Illustrator's leading competitor for most of its history, FreeHand, was initially based on the path drawing engine of a font design software. But when it went to market as a general illustration tool, it blew the functional and interface doors off Illustrator, and continued to do so throughout its history.
The simple fact is this: Throughout its history, Illustrator never kept up with the basic drawing features, interface refinements, and performance of its direct competitors. Its market share is primarily due to its carrying an Adobe label--and to the absurd defensiveness of too many of its users who have next to no experience with anything else.
Ilustrator, Indesign and Photoshop share about 90% of the same functionality.
Where do you get that?
Photoshop's primary purpose is fine-tuning of raster imagery, especially photography. You don't do sophisticated color correction, channel operations, sharpening, etc., in Illustrator or InDesign. That's what I would call its "90% functionality."
InDesign's primary purose is automation of repetitive assembly tasks and text handling in high page-count documents. You don't do master pages, indexes, tables of contents, constant spooling the hard disk, hundreds of externally linked raster and vector files, chapters-long threaded text stories in Illustrator or Photoshop. That's what I would call its "90% functionality."
Illustrator's primary purpose is general-purpose vector drawing (which most certainly includes many kinds of 'technical' illustration) using cubic Bezier curves, and page-assembly for low page-count, illustration-intensive documents. That's what I would call its "90% functionality."
Now ask yourself: Should programs fundamentally structured for different primary purposes necessarily share the same interface? I say no, not necessarily. Example: The mere use of the same term (Layers) in Photoshop and Illustrator for what are fundamentally two different things has led to a gross misunderstanding on the part of Photoshop users who are Illustrator beginners, which is repeated here in this very forum almost every day.
Ask yourself this: Should unyielding adherance to the organizational dictates of Adobe's so-called "unified" interface be allowed to result in a palette flyout menu in InDesign that contains only one option? Is the very concept of a 'menu' not fundametally antithetical to a single choice? Is that not just poor interface design, regardless of whether it "matches" that of the other programs in the so-called "suite"? (Frankly, I find Adobe's over-use of flyout menus--which effectively HIDE important options--generally both ill-conceived and poorly executed.)
No, there simply is no excuse for Illusrator's still lacking user-defined drawing scales, just as there was no excuse for its lacking multiple pages for two full decades, just as there is no excuse for its still lacking reliable snaps, connector lines, live shape primitives (!), proper arc-drawing, proper corner rounding, inline graphics, auto-fitting textframes, the ability to join multiple paths at once, (note that NONE of those can be called specifically "technical" drawing features) and a plethora of other functions that are bare-bones basic to vector drawing. The programs is just archaic and outdated in all these regards, and that's all there is to it.

How do you make a spreadsheet or cells secure and private?

In using numbers, I want to make a spreadsheet secure (limited access). How do you do this ..... Or how do you make the cells within it secure?

Password protect the file (although there's some doubt as to the strength of that protection).
save the file to an encrypted Disk Image. See Mac Help in the Finder's Help menu for details.
There's no way to fully protect the cells of an open document. Numbers provides for locking "objects," but cells themselves are not objects. Tables are, objects, so you can lock a complete table. That prevents changes to the table until it is unlocked, but does not prevent changes to other tables in the document, nor does it prevent any used from unlocking the table then editing it.
Jerry has offered a technique which may be used to guard against inadvertent changes to individual cells. You can read it in his responses in Hold Table Position in a Sheet.

Barry
