How to make a A2 in inDesign? (cant see mm)

I got a problem I cant see my mm when i make a new document!
this is what i get: w:51p0 / H:66p0
please help me

And for any open document you can right click an individual ruler, or the intersection box where they meet, and select the units you want to use from the list. I find it sometimes is useful to change units temporarily for some spacing tasks, but it aslo is a fast way to "correct" docs that use the wrong system.

How to make an index in InDesign CC 2014.1 using a topics list?

Hi all,
I have read the long help document on how to make an index in InDesign CC 2014.1 using a topics list, and still can't work out what to do.
I have done a 548 page book, using a document for each chapter, and a book file to put them all together in the right order.
I now need to make an index at the back, as the author has many quotes throughout the book at the start of each chapter and section.
I have a list of those people quoted and want to upload this list and get the index feature in InDesign to find all instances of the name occurring in the entire book.
After reading the help document I still cannot work out how to do this.
My questions are:
1. Do you have to use an InDesign document as a source for the list of topics? If so, should the document be added to the book file or outside it?
It seems a bit recursive to have the list of topics in an ID document that is in the book file.
2. Once you have uploaded the topics into the Index feature, how do you get it to look for all instances of that 'topic' througout the entire book? I can't figure that out from the help documents. What do I select? Do I do it from the Index panel? Do I highlight the text in the source document? Not sure how to do this...
3. I need the names to list surname first of the quoted authors in the index. This command seems to be different between various editions of ID. For ID CC 2014.1 is it ctrl+alt+shift+]
4. To make the surname show first, what do I highlight? The topic? and then do ctrl+alt+shift+] and select find all as well? Or do I have to just go through the text and manually do this and ditch the idea of uploading topics first?
I am confused as you can see and any help with this is appreciated.

Sorry 007, I really thought you were posting a trick question as on the OCP tests.
Anyway, as Justin mentioned, if you have an index on ename, it may be used when doing a comparison predicate statement with the ename value.
What it depends on are several other things: stats, how many rows in the table, use of an index hint, etc.
Rather than questioning the group on this, why not just turn on autotrace and run the query for the different scenarios.
The output will show you if it used the index, number of rows returned, blocks read, etc.
SQL> create table emp (ename varchar2(40));
Table created.
SQL> insert into emp select username from sys.dba_users;
25 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> set autotrace on
SQL> select * from emp where ename != 'SYSTEM';
Execution Plan
Plan hash value: 2951343571
| Id | Operation        | Name      | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time     |
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT |           |    24 |   528 |     1   (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 1 | INDEX FULL SCAN | ENAME_IDX |    24 |   528 |     1   (0)| 00:00:01 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
   1 - filter("ENAME"<>'SYSTEM')As you can see, the above used an index, even though there were only 25 rows in the table.
You can test each of your scenarios, one by one, including use of a hint.

How to make a textfield in inDesign for DP?

How can I make a textfield for answering questions in an inDesign brochure for Digital Publishing.
I tried it with a HTML field, but the textfield is emty again when I went to another article/page and back.
But I want the text to stay in the field, even when the user reopens the app or goes to other articles/pages in the app.
How do I accomplish that?
Antonetta Eilers

Form Fields in ID are only for PDF.
For DPS, use HTML or you could try to use Adobe Forms Central. I've
heard that works well.

IDCS2 How to make excel automation in Indesign Javascripting?

Hi all,
I have an excel sheet with several columns.I need to replace one of the column in the excel sheet with another set of values using (Indesign)javascript.
Please help.
Provide me with code snippets.
Regards
amu

>in the excel sheet [...] using (Indesign)javascript
It seems to me you think that javascript ("InDesign" JS??) can control any application on your computer.
Not so.
InDesign has 'generic' support for external programming languages. It can be controlled using JavaScript, Visual Basic for Applications (on Windows), AppleScript (on the Mac), and COM-aware programs, such as C++. The support for this is built-in into InDesign.
Excel has built-in support for Visual Basic. This probably means you can steer both Excel and ID from within the same VB -- I know it's possible through Word -- but has nothing to do with JS. Or with InDesign's support for JS. Or InDesign Scripting in general.
So, is it possible with VB? Well, it might be, but you might want to ask that one on a Microsoft forum, or this one:

Z10 - How to make the built in Photo app see photos on the SD Ram

Hi,
Was using my Z10 for recording video when it reported memory problems.. No problem. I baught it a 64 GIG SD ram to address any memory problems.. Perfect, all photos and videos now go to the SD ram.. BUT.....
Neither the photos nor the videos appear in the lists of content in either the built in Photo application nor the Videos application. To see them I have to go to File Manager and view files stored on the SD ram were they have been recorded as expected and can be seen. Often when you go to see a video or picture in the File Manager to view a photo or video, no thumbnail of the photo is present! instead you get a generic icon that the file is a photo and you have to open it to see what photo or video it is. It isn't until some time after the thumbnails are properly updated. It also puts both photos and videos in the Camera folder on the SD ram instead of the associated folders on the SD.
I was at the telus store while 2 telus reps struggling to find any way to get the photo app or the video app to display the SD ram content. They commented that Blackberry indicates it supports up to 32gig in SD ram but the fact that it is recording and retrieving properly indicates 64 gigs works too at least for this purpose.
The Question: How does one tell the Photo and Video app to display camera data on the SD ram?
Thanks,
The Manx

I've had issues with the 64gb cards also, one worked and another did exactly as you described.
Some users have had to format the 64gb card to FAT32 to make it work.

How to make an irrelative person able to see the process flow?

A manager asks his/her secretary to help him/her fill a form,which results that the manager isn't involved in the process.But the manager wants to trace the progress of the process.How should I do?

You can keep the manager as a notifier in your process flow so that He/She will get e-mail notification .
You can design a dashboard in VC so that manager can login to VC dashboard to check the status of the request.

I dont know where Iam making the mistake .Anybody will u help me.
Thanx in advance

Try calling repaint() on the component who's image isn't being displayed. I think that when a component becomes visible before an image it's supposed to display has finished loading, it's not displayed until the next time repaint() is called. Try minimizing the app after you start it up, and then restoring it. Or try dragging it offscreen, and then back onscreen.

How to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript

Hi all,
Please suugest - how to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript.
Thanks
Rohit

@Larry – ah, your interpretation could be the right one…
May I rephrase the question:
"How to split threaded text frames to single ones?"
"SplitStory.jsx" or "BreakFrame.jsx" under Scripts/Samples indeed could be the answer.
From the comments in the code of "BreakFrame.jsx":
//Removes the selected text frame (or text frames) from the
//story containing the text frame and removes the text contained
//by the text frame from the story.
//If you want to split *all* of the text fames in the story, use the
//SplitStory.jsx script.

Do you speak of true blue Java or Javascript? If the latter then it is a problem with the Browser.
But if it is the real Java, do you have the offical version of Java from Oracle installed?
Getting applications to see official Java is a nightmare. If you install the Runtime Environment only (JavaRTE) most applications do not see it.
To force offical Java system wide, I found you have to install the Java Developer Kit (JavaJDK). It's a larger install as it also comes with documentation and compilers but it make offical Java system wide.

Hi im in holiday how i pay my bill there i cant make calls

how i make payment

As explained, it is possible to update your payment details online which will then trigger any outstanding charge to your account.
I understand that you're having issues with this so feel it would be best if someone called you and updated your details over the phone to avoid any further frustration.
Will I arrange this?
