Indesign cs5 - search and change

Hi there.
I would like to get an information about how to change first word in new paragraph. I have a text (catalogue) where only the first word starts with capital letters. What i need to do is to change the character style of this first word to bold. Can anyone help me?
Thans.
Sonja

Read about Nested Styles in the help files. You need to create a bold character syle, then apply it to the first word as part of the paragraph style.

    I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". 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.

  • Adobe InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 keep crashing

    InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 keeps crashing while working on the documents. It's hard to identify the patteren when it's crashes. I deleted the SING/DataStore. Used FontNuke to clear all font caches but none of those helps. CS 5.5 and CS6 are installed on different macs but both crash.
    CS5.5 crash data: http://pastebin.com/5PAx08tc
    CS6 crash data:  http://pastebin.com/dZP09DwP
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not an expert in reading crash reports, though I do recognze a few of the more common ones (which this is not).  You read them from the top down, so the fisrt line in the crashed thread is the last thing it was doing before the crash. In the case of the CS6 crash you posted, the fisrts 8 lines of thread 0 are Apple code calls, and the last thing that was happening in ID had to do withteh Object Widget Library (I think that's what OWL stands for).
    John Hawkinson is our real expert in this, but he doesn't come around this forum that much these days. You can gain some insight into reading the reports at Guide to Interpreting InDesign Crash Reports | InDesignSecrets

  • InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 Breachballs

    I'm running OS-10.7.4 on a 2011 MBP.
    About every 3rd time I try to open a document created in a previous version of InDsign I can the endless spinning breachball. 
    Force quit works but then, I must re-launch holding down shift key to tried to prevent InDesign form restoring from back up which alway causes a freeze. 
    Is there anyway to stop InDesign from trying to restore.
    Or is that the fix for the unstable nature on InDesign CS5.5 and CS6?

  • Need to download InDesign CS5 v7 and Acrobat Pro 9.

    I bought CS5 master collection last year through my college.  I have a valid professional licence and serial number for all included products.
    The problem is, when I purchased it through the school, they only provided a digital download of the software, and did not provide us wth CDs.
    I need to reinstall InDesign and Acrobat 9, but the software has been taken down off my college's website.
    I also cannot download them from adobe, because they only offer InDesign CS5.5 and Acrobat Pro X which I do not have a serial number for.
    Does anyone know where I can download versions of these software?
    again I need:
    - InDesign CS5 v7 (not CS5.5)
    - Acrobat Pro 9
    (I legally paid for these software and have a legal and valid serial number and licence)

    Thanks for the link.
    However, whenever I try to click one of the download links I get this error:
    Access Denied
    You don't have permission to access "http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/STAM/CS5/osx10/MasterCollection_CS5_LS1.dmg?" on this server.

  • 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?

  • InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 Hang while opening document

    hello,
    I have the following problem:
    Indesign CS5.5 CS6 and hang up several times a day when opening documents on. the user can not make more in the program and must kill the process. After reopening the document opens without problems (probably the recovery file). I have tried all known solutions (delete Preferences, user with admin privileges, delete caches, safe boot, ...)
    here a hang report, which meanwhile has been created.

  • InDesign CS5.5 and Acrobat 9 compatibilty

    We have purchased the CS5.5 version of InDesign and still have the CS5.5 Design Premium version of the other programs, this includes Acrobat 9, which was originally shipped with CS5. Are there any compatibility reasons we should upgrade to Acrobat X for use with InDesign CS5.5?

    No, there isn't. In fact, the opposite is true. InDesign 7.5 (CS5.5) and Acrobat X support the latest update to the PDF/X specification, PDF/X-4:2010 whereas InDesign 7.0 (CS5) and Acrobat 9 only support PDF/X-4:2010. If you export PDF/X-4 from InDesign 7.5, there is a possibility that your PDF/X-4 file will not pass preflight in Acrobat 9 whereas it will pass preflight in Acrobat X. Plus, there are a large of improvements in Acrobat X.

  • InDesign CS5 - Enter and Return keys give unexpected results

    I've been using CS5 for just a few days (Mac Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.3). I've noticed that the Enter and Return keys aren't always behaving as expected. Enter doesn't give me a column break, shift-Return doesn't give me a line break but a new paragraph, and more often than not I can't select the default option in a dialog with either Return or Enter. I've just read cpsid_84345, which says this is an issue in German and Swedish language versions, but I'm using English. The 7.01 update doesn't seem to be available. Any advice?

    That the KBSC files are XML doesn't guarantee faultless migration from one version to the next, probably because Adobe just forgot to cope with importing KBSCs from previous versions. It's great that InDesign offers you such flexibility with the KBSCs, but it's terrible that the implementation has been so sloppy in at least the three last versions (maybe earlier versions, too, but I try to repress the memories).
    Some people have been asking Adobe to make KBSCs scriptable. This would enably you to maintain a small database with KBSCs which a script could read and feed into a new version of InDesign, or redo a KBSC file after it has become corrupt, or whatever minor or major mishap.
    The more people ask for this the better: go to http://www.adobe.com/support/feature.html and request script access to the KBSCs.

  • InDesign CS5.5 and Acrobat X crashing OS X system when making large pdf

    All of a sudden my mac has taken to crashing when I use ID CS5.5 to make a pdf. It seems to be mainly when making a larger pdfx1-a for repro. I've been doing this daily for months, no problem. Suddenly two days ago it became a problem. You send the pdf to export and a few seconds later, black screen followed by grey screen with the 'your mac has been restarted because of a problem' message. ID then takes ages to re-load.
    Neither ID nor Acrobat have updated to cause this, as far as I know, and nothing changed in thr system at that time.
    I've tried trashing ID's prefs and cache files, and trashing the Acrobat prefs as well, but it still happens.
    I'm on 10.9.2, Mac Mini with fusion drive and 16GB RAM.
    Anyone had this or got any ideas, please?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Hmm that's a good question.
    It's lots of files, but now i think about it, they are all based on one original. I can't remember whether completely unrelated files have crashed the system, so I will test that. I think they have, because I was working on other stuff yesterday, but I will check it out.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • 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!

  • Problematic InDesign CS5 Animation and exporting, any help?

    Hi there,
    I am an experienced InDesign user, and have recently started using CS5.
    I am using it to create a very simple flash website however I am encountering 2 problems.
    1. WHENEVER I have consecutive animations, such as a) Object 1, Fly in from top, followed by b) Object 2, fly in from bottom, object 2 appears momentarily in its final  location before doing its expected entry - right after object 1 has done its thing. Does that make sense?
    2. When exporting as a swf, then viewing in a browser, the page may come out correctly (with the exception of problem 1), except the space around the page is grey. I would love to make this white, anyone know how?
    This would be super easy if I could attach a swf but i cant for flips sake.
    Really hope to get this sorted, such annoying problems. Thanks muchly
    Adam

    Thanks for the suggestion Peter.  Unfortunately I was on Windows so couldn't do any time travelling.  Fortunately I'd saved out a few JPEGs for approval yesterday, so managed to recreate the work using them as reference. 
    For anyone else reading - don't make my mistake!  Remember that the Document Recovery feature is only for emergencies, and SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE.
