IDCS3: Why Does DOCX Import Not Preserve Internal Word Links?
I have the task of importing Word docs into InDesign/InCopy such that Word-defined internal links are accurately reflected in InDesign. CS3 does a pretty good job of importing .docx files from a formatting standpoint, but it doesn't preserve internal links (e.g., Word hyperlinks that point to Word bookmarks).
Looking at how hyperlinks are represented in ID/IC and how they're represented in Word I can't see any obvious reason why InDesign wouldn't be able to preserve them: there appears to be a good match between the two formats (Word bookMark maps to ID named anchor, Word hyperlink to a bookmark maps to ID hyperlink to a bookmark). Word bookMarks have a lot of potential complexity for other things (e.g., expressions and formulas), but that's no reason to simply discard or ignore all bookmarks and links. At least that's my initial analysis--I can't claim to have thought through the problem is as great a depth as the ID implementors have.
I can implement the processing on the Word end to produce something I can then process in InDesign to reconstitute the links, but I'd rather not have to if InDesign can do it for me.
Anyway, just curious.
Thanks,
Eliot
Per previous discussion here: I'm importing book text from Word docs into InDesign text that does not have complicated tables or tabbing but has footnotes and a lot of italic, bold italic, and bold text. / My impression is that the best way to import text using InDesign's Place command is to keep it simple and select 'Remove styles and formatting' and 'Preserve Local Overrides' under 'Formatting'. This seems the best guarantee that italic, bold, and bold italic line-level styling in the Word doc will be preserved. / But as to retaining paragraph styling of, say, indented quotes, this then gets lost. Is there any particular way text should be paragraph-styled in the Word doc, to enhance what comes over into InDesign? (I noted that it seems best not to base Word paragraph styles on 'Normal', for instance.) I'm hesitant to ask this, since using InDesign's Place > 'Preserve styles and formatting from text and tables' import option seems to lead to lots of messy complications. Anyway, I need to preserve the line-level italic and bold styling if nothing else.

Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?
Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?
Don't understand your question - "manage storage"? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to connect to your computer? Are you trying to free up some storage space?
How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

HT4623 Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?
Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?
The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Your iPad should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google do have app versions in the store -
why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.
IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop. -

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number
Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message
Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

Why does front row not have simple organization?
I currently have a hard drive hooked into my macmini which is hooked up to my TV. On my hard drive I have over 1000 movies, all purchased through iTunes. However when I use front row and i goto the movie section, I have to scroll through every movie to get to the one I want. There's no way to scroll by letter, only one by one. This is horrible and takes forever. Can apple do an update that makes the right button on the apple remote for scrolling letter by letter. For example, you click the right button to goto movies starting with B, C, D, E, F, etc. Then the down button for one by one scrolling. Also, why does front row not have genres? AppleTV does. Why not incorporate that into front row? Think, Apple, Think.
You can have sub-folders in the Movies folder and arrange your movies alphabetically that way.
But if you want to alert Apple to your idea, then use this link:

Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?
Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?
The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?
Check a printable area of your printer.
Make a (grey) rectangle that is larger than the paper size. Print it,
you'll get a message that some cropping will occur, that's okay. Then take a
ruler and measure the dimensions of the rectangle printed on the paper or
the white borders around the printed rectangle.
