Indesign for Mac vs. Microsoft

I use a MAC as work and have indesign on it. But it is my personal computer and I need it at home. My boss want me to get a microsoft to use at work and I am wondering if there is a difference if I get indesign for microsoft vs the MAC.

InDesign is very cross-platform compatible in terms of functionality assuming you are running the same version of InDesign and are using OpenType or Windows-based TrueType fonts.
If you are going to be running InDesign 9.x, make sure you always use the 64-bit version of InDesign on Windows.
In terms of performance, InDesign on Windows has always (since InDesign 1.0) performed at least as well on Windows as on Macintosh.

You have purchased CC, the order is still under transaction
The CC does not needs any serial number, it is based on Adobe ID.
In case you are being asked for serial number then you can refer to.
Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number

Purchased InDesign for Mac, want to use a PC

If I already own InDesign CS6 for Mac, what are my options if I want to use it on a PC? I use a Mac as my primary computer, but I have a powerful PC that I am interested in using as a backup. I don't necessarily want to re-purchase my programs for it, though.

With a perpetual license I think you could get a "cross-grade" to switch platforms, but only once, and it won't leave you any better off since you'd lose the Mac usability.

Outlook 2011 for Mac with Microsoft Exchange 2007/2010

Hi,
For already a fews days I am troubleshooting a Mac Outlook 2011 <> Exchange sync issue. I've got exact the same symptoms in two totally different environments.
- Environment one:
Exchange 2007 SP3 RU 14 (8.3.379.2)
Outlook 2011 14.4.7
- Environment two:
Exchange 2010 SP1 RU 8 (14.1.438.0)
Outlook 2011 14.4.7
Problem:
Autodiscover and EWS synchronisation test from Microsoft Exchange Connectivity Analyzer is succesfull. Configuring an new (Exchange) e-mail account with Outlook2007/2010/2013 fully based on autodiscover works with no errors.
Configure Outlook 2011 based on autodiscover when connected to the internal LAN works. Configure Outlook 2011 based on autodiscover or by hand doesn't work from WAN.
I am unable to synchronize Outlook 2011 with Exchange when WAN connected (No error in logging). I am able to synchronize OS X Mail (Default OSX Mail client) with the same Exchange server.
Conclusion: the autodiscover function that Outlook 2011 uses does not work from WAN, the autodiscover function that Outlook 2007/2010/2013 and Exchange Connectivity Analyzer is using does work from WAN. Do I need to configure something special for synchronization
with Outlook 2011 other than explained above when working from WAN?
When testing EWS with 3th party tooling(EWS Editor) and Exchange Connectivity Analyzer everything is working as it should be. (all mailbox data is shown). If you need any more information about the context I am happy to provide.
Regards,
Mikkie van Falier

Hey hpujary.
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
At this time, only contacts can be synchronized with BlackBerry Link software and a BlackBerry 10 Smartphones. The functionality to provide more options for PIM synchronization may be added in the future. I cannot say for certain that the issue outlined in KB27248 is resolved for BlackBerry 10 Smartphones as the functionality does not exist to confirm.
Cheers.

I am having problems exporting to PDF using InDesign for Mac.

Hi all!
I just started using the Creative Suite on Mac and have run into a couple problems. One is that when I set up a document in InDesign using "Facing Pages" and then export to PDF, the document exports each set of "Facing Pages" as one singular spread (my 20 page InDesign document becomes a 10 page PDF). Once it is a PDF, there are no page break lines in the center of the spread to indicate that they are two separate pages, and when I try to set up viewing preferences in Acrobat (single or double page), it too recogrnizes each spread as a single page.
When I used to do this in InDesign using Windows, whether I exported to PDF or printed to PDF from a document set up with "Facing Pages," each page would still be considered separate once converted to PDF (20 page InDesign docment becomes a 20 page PDF).
This also leads me to my next question : I see that on Mac, there is no option for printing to PDF, but I notice a quality difference specifically when it comes to linework (vector information) that has been "placed" in the document from Illustrator. Is there any way to achieve the quality of printing to PDF on Mac?
Thank you in advance!
Gabby

Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
Unless you know something else I can do...
Best, Marilyn

Microsoft has added a community for Office for Mac at MS Answers

Not entirely related, just a heads up for Office for Mac users: Microsoft Answers now has an official Office for Mac community to ask questions at: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

I recommend the FREE and very capable LibreOffice if people don't specifically need Office.
http://www.libreoffice.org/
Runs on OS X, Windows and Linux. Reads/writes Office files too.
Office is only for those who trade editable files with other (enslaved) Office users.
If you need office software just for yourself, why pay?
If you need to send a LibreOffice file to another, just pack a copy of Libreoffice along for the ride, it's free.
Why put up with Office DRM scheme headaches?
Why put up with numerous "security" issues that have plagued Mac users with Office over the years?
Enough is enough, dump Microsoft completely and don't let them sucker you back into their "Stockholm Syndrome Effect" or make you feel sorry for them.
Office software should be free anyway now, god knows they can't improve it anymore.

Lion and Microsoft for Mac

I installed Lion, but some of my other softwares for Mac (Accordance, Microsoft, etc) do not work any more. Why is that? What can be done to be back in business?

Make sure you have the up-to-date versions of these apps. If they have not been updated contact the developers.

I would like to get data analysis for solving statistic and making graphs, but this function is not in add-in. How should I do? I also set up microsoft office for mac 2011.

Microsoft didn't include that with the 2011 version.
There is a third-party application that substitutes for the add-in: http://www.analystsoft.com/en/products/statplusmac/
They also have a limited, free version.

Outlook for Mac - Calendars Suddenly Hiding

Hello everyone,
I've been scouring the net trying to find someone else having this issue and have not had any luck. Hoping maybe one of you might have some insight.
We are running Exchange 2010. I have a Mac user who is running OS X 10.4.4 and (as of my posting this) he is running the most up to date version of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac.
The issue he is having is that randomly, shared calendars that he has selected will become deselected and not show in his calendar. The shared calendar is still connected, the check box to enable viewing it has just be deselected. Once he checks the box again, the calendar will once again show up. 5 mins later, it (or another shared calendar) will deselect itself again.
I'm not really sure where to start with this one. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

No, the only online solution supported with Office for Mac is Microsoft Exchange.

Outlook 2013 for Mac

I was searching for a way to transfer my emails and folders from a Mac to Outlook 2013.
Some will re-synch via IMAP but the majority are in folders on the Mac that I can't move to the IMAP inboxes.
I looked at this software from the link below and it's in exe as well as dmg format.
http://applemailtopst.com/
I contacted the company and they explained how to use the software by exporting the mail to an external drive (if using the exe format) and also how the
mac version automatically detects the apple mail files converting them to pst format in couple of clicks.

They'll help you over here.
