How to replicate old school quark space/align

Hello all.
I've done precious little page layout work in tha pset few years. But used to be a very heavy user of quark 5 (and 6 i think).
I used to constantly use the old space/align dialogue (command + ,) and found it perfectly intuitive, as I could space multiple objects by left edge/right edge/centre/top/bottom/object by defined amounts.
I simply cannot get the same functionallity out of the align tool in ID CS3 - is there a plug-in that can replicate this?
Thanks

Speaking of object alignment (and sorry if this isn't exactly on point with your question), but a really handy Illustrator feature was that if you select several objects, then click on one of the selected objects before selecting the alignment you want, the other objects will align in relation to that object. Can InDesign do that? My ID computer is in the shop, so I can't test it right now.
EXAMPLE: Three objects, one object on top left, one at center of page and one at bottom right. Select all three, click on the center object and align center, and all will be aligned at the center of the page. Undo, select all and click the top left object and align center. All objects align under top object.
You can lock the positon of one object and ID will align to it. Not as nice as the way it works in Illy by a long shot. It also won't work with distribute at all.

    I have a 3g iPhone and I need to know how to delete old photos. Need to free up space and there is no clear way to delete these photos!! Can someone please let me know how to get rid of these pictures!!!! Help!!!

    There are a number of ways to delete pictures from the Camera Roll.  One is to open Camera Roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button (top right), tap all the pictures you want to delete, tap the Delete button ant the bottom.  Photo Library pictures are deleted by unchecking Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, followed by syncing your phone.

  • New to JAVA, but old school to programming

    Objects & Classes & Methods, Oh my!
    I'm pretty new to java, but I've been programming in several languages over the years. I thought it was about time to update my skill set, especially with the job market as it is today. I wanted to go JAVA because it's not specific to any environment.
    I picked up a begining JAVA book and was a little confused. When I was learning programming a program was called a program. a peice of code in a program called by a statement was called a subroutine (it was performed then control returned to the calling line and continued).
    Now I'm trying to make sense of everything I have read so far and trying to relate it back to my old school of thinking. I was hoping it would make it easier to retain and I could expand it as I learn and possibly realize that it IS different. I know it's a new way of thinking, but stay with me for minute.
    What I used to call a program is now a CLASS in JAVA (this can be a collection of code or other objects). A sub-routine in a CLASS is a Method. I know that the language part will come as I use it since I understand if's then's and whatever you use to gosub or goto, but I want to make sure I have down the lingo before I go to deep.

    I have no idea how you can compare Java to Cobol.
    DataFlex? How about that! In about '84 I switched to
    DataFlex from dBaseII. In '91 DataFlex changed from
    procedural to OOP. It took most of us at least a year
    to adjust, and then some to write concrete code. It
    was tough. They had bugs and we were limited with DOS.
    BUT, it was a great OOP training experience. Anyhow,
    needless to day Java is miles ahead on all fronts.Small world. I was stuck in the old DataFlex Ver 2.3 at that time. The company I worked for had the newer OOP package. I did get to work with it some, but not enough to become totally familiar with it. We started to move out of DataFlex towards PowerBuilder towards the end of 1995. I did get some OOP from that experience, but again only enough to learn about global variables, instance variables, and a few other items. I hoping that I will be able to get the solid OOP background that I need from JAVA since I hear through the grapevine that it may be a new tool that we will be looking at to enhance our programming. I was looking at PERL but even the PERL programmers we have agree that JAVA is more scalable.

  • Where can I get an old-school style keyboard (one that CLICKS)

    I cannot stand the soft keyboard that came with my Mac Pro and I want to go old school and get a keyboard that gives a loud CLICK every time you press a key, one that you actually feel when the key is depressed. Any suggestions?

    rwiker wrote:
    Somebody else suggested a NOS/refurbished IBM Model M from clickykeyboard.com. These would have to be used with and USB/PS2 adapter, which is actually a bit problematic, as you may have a bit of trouble getting one that works well. A bigger problem is that those keyboards do not have a key that is recognized as Apple/Command, which means that they are, in fact, useless for a Mac Pro
    Instead, you could go to Unicomp (http://www.pckeyboard.com), who manufacture new keyboards based on the Model M mechanism. You should select a version with Windows keys and USB interface - I have 4 Customizer 105 keyboards which I'm completely happy with. Well, apart from the Windows symbols on two of the keys... I'd much prefer to have Apple or Clover symbols.
    Then, once you have the keyboard, you need to get a keyboard mapping for it, unless you want to place stickers conforming to the Apple layout on top of some of the keys If you want to create a new keyboard mapping yourself, you should look for a program named "Ukelele" (http://www.sil.org/computIng/catalog/show_software.asp?id=94).
    I really appreciate your help. Is it really that complicated just to get a keyboard that clicks? I am not a computer person. I went to that Ukelele site and I have no idea what keyboard mapping is nor how to do it.
    As for Tony0074, the one I have is white in the clear casing that ships with new Mac Pros.

  • My time capsule backup space is full yet, how can i extend the backup space?

    how can i extend the backup space?

    Two possibilities:
    Add a new USB hard drive to the Time Capsule and start a new full backup and move forward from that point.
    (Unfortunately, it is not possible to have Time Machine simply continue backups on a new drive. You have to start over with a new full backup.)
    Or, if you decide that you really do not need all the old backups on the Time Capsule, the disk can be erased and you can start over with a new full backup and move forward.

  • Server behaviours are old school!

    "Server behaviours are old school!" was a comment made to me earlier today which has been playing on my mind!
    Am I doing things the old way now? Since Adobe has removed the database panels, perhaps I am! I often see Adobe doing things that I consider to be commercial suicide, but it often turns out to be a move that is well thought out because the industry is moving in the direction applicable to an Adobe decision... or perhaps Adobe making the decision has forced the industry to move with them...
    Should I be doing things differently to future proof myself? If so, how?
    Mat

    This is an ignorant answer. Server behaviors are not a code style, they are (used to be?) a DW mechanism to write repetitive code faster. The code Server behaviors output today is "old school", Server behaviors are a brilliant DW feature and so many DW users do not understand Adobe's decision to dump them instead of updating them...

  • Need old-school iCal alerts back in 10.8

    Help! I need the old-school, movable, multi-option snoozable alerts back for my Calendar events. I need to be able to choose how long the snooze interval is like we used to be able to do with iCal alerts - I would sometimes use the smaller increments, but I used the 2 hour snooze all the time and I'm missing it dearly. Also, I miss being able to move the alert off to the side out of the way if I wanted to keep it on screen instead of dismissing it.
    I use Calendar to alert me when it's time for everything from my son's homework, to when to start cooking dinner, to giving my daughter her various meds, and I need more flexibiltiy than Notification Center seems to give.
    With Notification Center, I can't control how long the snooze is, and the default is almost always way too brief an interval. And if I just want to set it aside without closing or snoozing, I can't - it hovers in just about the worst possible spot on my main monitor blocking whatever I happen to be working on.
    This is my only problem with Mountain Lion, but I use Calendar so much it's a pretty bad one.

    I followed the instructions in the link.  point 5 sates:
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    and I have not.  but this is all I see:
    no iLife option.
    what could be wrong?  My machine came with 10.8.4 installed

    Hello @assail_hawk
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
    Even though this is a Commercial product, I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. This will restore the original BIOS.

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?
    Sigve

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve

    Is this the note you are referring to:
    Not sure if this can help you.
    I checked my notes. They are stored here:

    xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
    If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
    If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
    If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
