In InDesign CS5.5, getting articles panel to show up

Basic stuff here -- in InDesign CS5.5, when I go to "window" and check "articles," what shows up is "create new review" panel. Is this an older version, fixed in a later patch? Or what!! I'm trying to follow along in the Lynda.com "InDesign5.5 What's New" tutorial. Big disconnect.

You probably don't. CS5.5 was a paid upgrade, not free, and it is no longer distributed by Adobe or resellers.

Problem getting layers panel to show.

I cannot get the layers panel to show even though it is checked. Using CC 2014, OS 10.10.1 Affects all my Illustrator files.

The layers panel miraculously reappeared in all files. I have no idea where it was lurking while I was having the problem. I tried everything. But I seem to be out of trouble for now.
I have quite a few small unexplainable problems with my latest version of Illustrator and operating system. I don’t think they had their pencils quite sharp enough when they designed it all.
thank you for your interest and suggestions.
kind regards,

InDesign CS5 crashing when preflight panel is turned on

I was working on CS5 file (originally created in CS3) and saved it without a problem. The next day I tried opening it, but was ID was crashing all the time. The file has 132 pages and around 450 linked files (TIFFs and EPSs). I managed to open it when I switched off the "Live Preflight" and could work with it, but of course I couldn't package the files - everything just froze, so I had to terminate ID in the Task Manager palette.
When I was again able to open the file, I exported it to the .idml and then tried re-opening in CS5, but after 45 minutes of processing I gave up. I decided to copy all the pages to a new document, but now I cannot open the file even though the "Live Preflight" is turned off. The ID just crashes every time. I thought it was because of my hardware (3 GB of ram, Core2Duo processor), so I tried opening it on a brand new i7 / 16 GB of RAM, but ID crashed on that machine as well. This is very frustrating, since I am on a deadline due in two days and have no idea what to do anymore.
Thank you for your answer.

It sounds highly likely that the file has become corrupted. I see you tried to export an IDML. Copy the original file and all linked images to machine with the most memory. Restart the computer, and try again. Give it plenty of time to work and don't quit out. You have a lot of images.

InDesign CS5: Configuration Error (Error 5)

I've installed CS5 Premium. When I try to start InDesign CS5, I get this error: "Configuration error. Please uninstall and reinstall the product. If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of the screen. Error: 5. http://www.adobe.com/support/". It looks like this:
I've uninstalled and reinstalled. It did not help; I got this same error again. I went to the Adobe support page and found nothing useful. I see it says "contact Adobe technical support," but I am trying my best to sort this out on my own before getting in the support queue.
Has anyone else had this trouble?
Perhaps related, perhaps not, when I try to start Photoshop CS5, it brings me to the 30-day trial activation screen. This, despite the fact that I entered my serial number for the suite when installing it. If I put the serial number into the activation screen, it rejects it as invalid for the product (from what I read, it should be accepted ... a document here on Adobe's website said any application in the suite should accept the suite serial number). I know the serial number is good, because it works on my other machine (it installed fine and works on my desktop, and this is the laptop I am trying to get to work). InDesign, Photoshop, and Bridge are the only products in the suite installed on this machine. Bridge works fine.
Any help would be most appreciated!

Hi Swapnil,
What do you mean by system configuration and how to run CS3 Clean Script on level 4?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you please provide information about system configuration.
If you don't have any other version of Adobe on your system then you can run CS3 Clean Script on level 4 on your machine. This will actually remove all Adobe componentes from your machine and then try the installation..
Cheers,

Problems importing PageMaker 6.52 file into InDesign CS5

I have an 11-year old file that I need to import into either InDesign CS5 or FrameMaker 9 on Windows 7. The file was originally done on a Mac, so it had no extension. I have tried adding the .PM6 extension, but when that didn't work, I tried the .P65 extension. I know from the PDF properties that the file was done in PageMaker 6.52, but I don't have PageMaker, and neither does the original author at this point.
When I try to import the file into InDesign CS5, I get this message: "The PageMaker document is damaged and cannot be recovered." (Note that I am using CS5, not CS2, so the issues I've seen posts about should not apply.)
When I try to impor the file into FrameMaker 9, I get this message: "The filter encountered an error and could not complete the translation."
I could try converting the PDF, but I'd like to get this file converted if that is possible.
I am posting this in the FrameMaker forum as well to see if they may have any insights.
Tammy

It could well be that the error message is accurate and the file is damaged.
If you’re on Windows you could download the PM 7 trial and try opening it with that. If that works, resave the file and then move it to InDesign.
BTW, you keep saying import. InDesign cannot import a PM file, it can only open them.

How do I get InDesign CS5 to stop changing my font to Minion Pro?

With no document open, the font says Times New Roman, so that should be the default. However, pasting text into a text box from another program like Open Office Writer and then adding a carriage return (normal Enter, not Shift+Enter) causes the font to suddenly change to Minion Pro, so anything I type or paste in at that point is in Minion Pro. I'm getting tired of constantly opting out of InDesign's favorite font. What do I have to do to get InDesign CS5 to accept that I use Times New Roman and not Minion Pro?

Let's see if we can explain this better...
Here's what I think is happening based on what I've been able to do here to reproduce this.
First, in the Clipboard Handling prefs the setting is to paste text only, not All Information. The TNR setting is a local override to Basic Paragraph which has been set as the default in the character panel or control panel, but [BP] itself is still set to Minion Pro.
You can type all day in ID with settings like this and not have the font change to Minion Pro, so it is tied to the paste settings. I think what is happening is that ID must ignore any formatting in the copied text in order to make the pasted text match what is set at the cursor position and for some reason resets the default text attributes to the paragraph style definition, so when you press enter your local override default is gone, but only for that frame. I believe this is actually using the Paste Without Formatting command.
It doesn't seem to matter if you continue to type in the same paragraph, the next one loses the override. You can make this happen using the Paste Without Formatting command after copying text you type with your default settings as an override, as well, even if the format of the copied text is already exactly the same because you typed it in the same paragraph. The trigger for this though, is the position in your text where you paste -- it only happens when you paste at the end of the existing text in your story.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior, though I'm leaning towards the latter as it makes some logical sense to me. Paragraph formatting for the next paragraph is picked up from the last character when you press enter as you type at the end of a story, whereas if you type on the end of an exisiting paragraph in the middle someplace, the break at the end of that paragraph is already formatted.
Bottom line, I think the only way to make your workflow work is to make a default paragraph style with your TNR formatting eihter by editing [BP] or making a new one. I'm not sure why you didn't have success with a new style. Did you create the new style with nothing open? Did you set the formatting to be TNR? Did you also be sure to highlight this style with nothing open so that it was set to be the default?

How do I stop my panels from being visible while in InDesign CS5's presentation mode?

Hey there, I have a quick question... So when I'm not working with two monitors I sporadically have this problem where when I enter InDesign CS5's (on a Mac) presentation mode (shift W) all of my panels (color, pages, swatches, pathfinder etc) are visible atop of the preview. Its fairly maddening because it encroaches on the actual preview of the document. I have had no luck getting it to stop doing this unless I just close my panels and reopen them all each time I exit presentation mode i.e. very inefficient. However, the weird part here is that it doesn't always do this which makes me fear that its a glitch or something... because there seems to be no correlation between this issue and InDesign settings, the file being worked on or anything else that may change moment to moment. Any input on the matter would be immensely appeciated! Thanks in advance!

I've never seen this reported before, but it's the sort of wierdness that can often be fixed by trashing the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

Creating Scrolling text panels in Indesign CS5 for Interactive SWF's

Hi,
Is it possible to do as it says in the title?
I want to add some text panels and provide the ability to scroll through the text.
It will be output to an Interactive SWF file online.
Can this be done in Indesign CS5?

Hi,
Thanks for the updated information.
I created a scrooling text box in Flash CS5 and created the swf, that works fine.
Importing into Indesign CS5 isnt as straight forward as I expected?
I get the SWF icon on the Indesign Page, but previewing or publishing only shows the SWF icon, no Scrolling Text box displays.
Im ust add that if I click on the SWF icon the Text box displays, but I want it to display by default?
Are there more steps I need to take?

InDesign CS5 panels and toolbars not working

Was curious if anyone else has had this problem. I can't seem to get my tools to show up on the left side when I open InDesign and try to get them to pop up. Also, when I try to set up panels such as Swatches, Character, etc. on my screen... I go to Window, select them, they show up on my screen but under a different name. For example, I'll click to have Character pop up, and that will show, but with the title of Paragraph. Then, if I try to view another panel, it might replace one I currently have showing with the new one. This is driving me nuts! I don't know if I should try and reinstall CS5... It also continously won't let me save, and shuts down unexpectedly. And advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm currently running 10.5.8 and it's on a Macbook Pro. I loaded the suite on my iMac that is running 10.6.8 and that one is not having any problems. Do you think that might be the problem, that I need to update the Macbook's operating system? I have not tried the replacing preferences either, I will try that and see if it makes a difference. Thanks!

Where is the spanning widget on control panel indesign cs5.5

Hi, I am just learning Indesign CS5.5 on a Macpro using Lion X. I have been going through the tutorials and in listening to the one on spanning and splitting columns the narrator makes reference to a Spanning widget on the control panel. My program does not seem to have this widget, and when I did an search it just lead me back to that tutorial as the only mention of a spanning widget.
I tried going to Help but that only led me to What's New articles which is no help because since I've never used Indesign I have no frame of reference for what is new!
So, I am concerned that your tutorials will continue to be frustrating to me because of references to controls and commands that don't exist.
My question remains, Where do I find the widget mentioned in this Adobe Indesign turorial?

You must have your cursor in text, then choose Paragraph mode (P symbol chosen on the left side of the control panel.

What is it about InDesign CS5 that someone would get this error message?

Hi,
What is is about the .swf file that is generated from the InDesign CS5 interactive workspace that someone would get the following error message when they go to view the site I created?
"This file may contain newer information that this viewer can support. It may not open or display correctly. Adobe suggests that you upgrade to the latest versions of our Acrobat products blah blah blah."
The site doesn't seem to work for four Mac users, but works fine for at least one PC user.
I'm trying to figure out how to save the .swf file down to Flash Player 9, which I've done by exporting a .fla file, then adjusting the Publish setting in Flash CS5. But that throws a wrench into the works...all the animations go haywire by continuously looping and the scale of all the text elements on the first page is much larger than it should be.
Thanks, Steve

this usually happens when a user moves or deletes files in the finder - a sure way to upset iTunes.
did you move or delete files in the finder ?
I cannot locate the song.
if you let iTunes manage your library, all your content will be in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)/music. did you look there ? tried a spotlight search ?
if the files are really gone, and have been purchased from the iTunes store, see Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

I cannot get photos placed in InDesign CS5 to show up only as grayscale/black. When a separation is done, part of the photos show up on both parts of the color separation. I've been hunting for a solution for hours.

ALSO, on the iPod under Settings>General>iTunes Sync, you may need to back out of the "iTunes Wi-fi Sync," and reopen it to get it to update.
