Indesign glossary with descriptions

Dear Indesign Pro's.
I have been using Indesign to make my graduation research report.
There are many words which could use a additional description in the form of a Glossary at the end of the report.
How can I create suchs a page. I have a index so far (but than it shows the page numbers, not the description).
I work with Indesign CS6, version 8 on a Windows 7 laptop with 2ghz, 8GB mem and 60GB free space.
Hope you can show me how to resolve this..

Sounds good..
By now I've realised that this might be quite challenging..
My preferred option is:
Word 1..       Description          Page 2,54,324
Word 2..       Description          Page 4,32,47
But I also would be happier with
Word 1..       Description
Word 2..       Description
I just would like the words the be displayed according the character style (which i have a script for that puts them in a index according to the style). It just doesnt give me a option to put in a desctription.
It shows this:
Word 1..            Page 2,54,324
Etc..
I would like it to be one of the above options, but i don't know how to do it..

Help trying to create a 2 page indesign doc with 1 landscape & 1 portrait page?

I'm creating a double sided A5 flyer, how do I create a 2 page indesign document with one page portrait & the other landscape?
Thank you in advance for anyone who can help with this ;-)

You can use the Page tool to change one, but if it's going to print I think it would be better to make them both either ladscape or portrait, then use Rotate Spread View in the Pages panel to make one appear inthe other orientation on screen while work.

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it.

I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert

you can download a new installer and serial number from Adobe at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

I have albums in my iMAC with description for each photo that I can show up on slide show so that I know the place that is in the photo. If I synchronize my photos to iPOD, I am unable to get the Descriptions also copied. How do I ensure this?

I have two questions:
1) I have multiple logins in my iMAC. How do I move photos/albums from one login to another?
2) I have created albums with "Description" for each photos, so that, in a slide show, any one can see what is being shown on the photo. When I sync albums to my iPOD, the "Descriptions" are not getting copied. How do I ensure that the "Descriptions" also get copied so that it can be a real back-up?
Thanks

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto thumbnails - this may take several tries
Also what version of iPhoto? What recently changed?

How to map the elements in Indesign document with the PDF elements

I wanted to know any way of mapping elements in the InDesign document with the elements in the exported PDF document from the same InDesign document.
E.g If I have an Image X in InDesign document, Can I point out the same element in exported PDF using some mapping?
Thanks in advance
-Sandeep

What is meant by me is, if there is a Text element in InDesign document, I should able to point out the respective PDF object.
I am looking for some way to mark a specific InDesign element and once we export the document to PDF, I want to point out to the same element in some way so that I can process it.
Requirement is simple, one user will mark some elements in the InDesign document and export it to PDF and send it to the other user. Other user will parse the PDF and extract the same element back or process it and use it.

Hey!
This will remove all images from your InDesign document:
var myLinks = app.activeDocument.links.everyItem().parent;
for(var i = 0; i < myLinks.length; i++)
myLinks[i].remove();
Hope that helps.

Test: Using Crop marks in indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7

Jun 19, 2009 9:35 PM
Crop marks using indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7
My crop marks and pages are printing larger than my document sizes. My paper size is 13x19, so I should have crop marks at the exact corners of the page sizes. But indesign is printing the entire document larger. So my document which is 11x14.75 is now printing 11.25x15.5. All my settings are correct. So, is anyone else using an Epson 3800 with CS4 indesign having issues such as the above? And can I ask (beg) a few of you to do a test print with crop marks and let me know the results?
My workflow has been completely stalled because I can't get my pages to print the right sizes with the crop marks at the right measurements. I'm printing a photo portfolio on the Lumijet double sided paper and "when" it did work awhile back sometime several months ago, the finals looked great. I've already reinstalled both the Epson 3800 driver and the Indesign CS4 software, but the results are still the same.
So, here are my settings:
document size: 11x14.75
in the print panel:
Printer: Epson 3800
Setup: Paper size: Super A3/B13x19, scale 100% width & height, page position Centered
Marks & Bleed: Marks: "Crop Marks" checked. offset: 0, weight: .25, Bleed and Slug: Use Document bleed settings, include slug area. The bleed is 0 for top, bottom, left and right
Color Management: Document profile: Adobe RGB, Options: Indesign handles colors, Printer Profile: (A custom made profile using Xrite for the 3800 with Lumijet paper)
The settings on the Epson 3800
Epson 3800 Printer
Presets (set for the profile mentioned above)
No Color management
Sometimes, on a whim, the printer and indesign cooperate together like good little children should. But not often. And I can not conclude why they are nice to each other sometimes, but given the same detailed data at other times, they fight.
If anyone could run through a similar process using indesign with a photo layout and setting up the printer settings for both the Epson 3800 and in the indesign program and let me know their results, I would value your conclusions very much. You don't even have to waste paper or ink. Finally, after wasting so many pages of paper and of ink. I deleted the photos from the page, and printed it blank with only the crop marks for me to measure if it was coming out right or not.
Thank you for any response. And feel free to call me if you want to vent about Epson 3800's or about Indesign CS4 anytime! I'm up late.... 646 256 8853.

I specified the paper size as strictly 13x19, no boarderless, no retain size. Same problem. I also did as you suggested below. The pdf document does remain true to the document. As a pdf doc. I changed the color mgmt to Adobe rgb 1998. It looks okay, but not as lively as I get when printing correctly with my color mgmt working and in sync.
Your final question about simply using photoshop. Well... I might go back to it and give up on Indesign if this is the case that it won't simply crop my documents to the sizes that I input them to be cropped as. But, I am using Indesign so that I can create a page layout that I can't do in Photoshop. My folio is about 25 or more pages with double page spreads. I am printing on a two-sided Lumijet paper and my folio was custom designed to be cut out at 11x14.75. If and when it is printed correctly, I am printing on both sides of the paper and trimming it to exact size.
It sounds as if you have exhausted the potential problems and don't have a clear explanation for why the doc isn't printing correctly in Indesign either with the color mgmt. or the document sizes. I'll try one more print using a different color profile similar enough to get at minimum, an okay print. If it doesn't print at least okay, then it isn't most likely my profile..... Okay done. Crazy. The color is inaccurate, but for some reason or another, the document size printed correctly. It measured exactly 11x14.75. What I have done during this period of time is:
First) I did as you suggested and turned the Print to Adobe PDF 9 and created a print there. I measured it and it did measure correctly. I didn't love the color, but... at least it is measuring correctly.
Second) I turned the Printer back to Epson 3800 (I'm beginning to think that this simple gesture was what caused the printer to print correctly) I didn't change any settings, but I did make sure that they were set correctly as before. The paper size was set to 13x19. When I make sure this setting is right in the "printer" dialogue for the Epson 3800, and then switch back to ID, the printer dialogue in Id changes to "Define by Printer." But I changed nothing, other than the profile to an older one that I used before. The color is still inaccurate, but at least for two prints just now back to back, the measurements were correct. What to do? Lol.
Thanks again for all of your time spent trying to resolve this issue.
Sincerely,
Thaddeus

INDESIGN CS5 V. 7.0.4: Can't Open a .jpg file in InDesign made with InDesign (It's Grayed Out)

I do have this problem with placing jpegs in InDesign. Very specifically, I can’t place or relink to a jpeg that was made by InDesign (export page > jpg), although I can drag and drop it into the file, and it shows up correctly. I can place or relink to a jpeg made by Photoshop.

InDesign CS6 with Window 8 Won't Launch

Had been working fine, last launch was 3 days ago. Today tried to open InDesign CS6 (Windows 8.1) and get the following InDesign.exe error box: "CAnot load InDesign.exe because it requires Paragraph Composer. Please install the Paragraph Composer plug-in and restart InDesign." How do you do this, where do you get?

Peter thanks for your help.
I set up a new user account and tried, but that didn't work either.
Do I need to :
1. uninstall InDesign only with Windows Unintsaller (not the entire suite?)
2. download InDesign from Adobe's website
3. put in our serial # and I should be good to go?
Or will I still need to reinstall my plugins through the Adobe manager?
Thanks
I would certainly try just doing ID first. If that's not successful you can remove the whole suite, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) then reinstall.

Can I replace InDesign CS6 with InDesign CS6 ME version?

Can I replace InDesign CS6 with InDesign CS6 ME version? And does the ME version interface in English or Arabic?
I have a translator who sends me InDesign files using the Sultan font, but when I open it, a lot of the font shows up as math symbols. I have the correct font installed, but I'm wondering if I need the additional features of the ME version of InDesign to make the type correct on my end.

I don't believe my CS6 is from a Creative Cloud subscription. It was installed by my IT department, so I will ask them.
When I receive the files from the translator, they send both an InDesign file and a PDF, so I can see it as they see it. However, the InDesign file looks like this:
But the PDF file looks like this:
They sent me the font file, so I'm assuming I have the right font and the issue is on my end. Or perhaps not?

HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
Event Name will become Folder Name.
'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
So: File -> Export
Set your Kind to Jpeg
Select your preferred Quality
Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

Asking for advice on adding products with descriptions to webpage

I am a web design and dreamweaver newbie and am in my very limited experience, working on creating a virtual mall. I'ts something I always wanted to do...go figure..lol. I do have a lot of companies that will advertise and I have access to their Java and HTML links. I have created (in my mind...lol) I pretty decent start on a homepage from a free template and I want to create pages with pictures and descriptions but I am not sure the best way to go. I cannot afford to have a pro do this for me so I am fishing for some good advice. I know about creating tables but I hear that tables are so 90's and dreamweaver can do it better in a different format. I have looked through the forums for advice but not have found what I am specifically looking for. The way I have it from the homepage is that I have links to product types in the content portion of spry accordian and created pages akin to my homepage to display them but from there...not sure. I do not have a lot of available free time, hardly any to be honest, so if anyone can point me in a good direction or have any good ideas, I would really appreciate it. Here are my questions:
1. Is there a better method to display products besides tables in CS4, and if so, how would I best proceed? The idea is 3 columns and 4 rows of products with descriptions underneath. The links provided by the companies would take them to the company website to purchase. I didn't want to alarm the companies by posting a site without some products available but I need some help.
2. Is it possible and if so, is it a good idea to add a spry tabbed panels into the content portion of the spry accordian? Would I have to establish an editable region or something specific to allow it to be functionable?
Separate Question:
1. I am not sure if I can even ask this coherently but will give it a shot Does DW have a tutorial on adding some type of flash css or revolving pictures to be built into my header area on the homepage? I do have DW fireworks and I really want to spruce it up...
I will load the homepage online today to www.virtmallshop.com. The product links pages won't be availabe except one to give a reference. Understand that you all know a heck of alot more about this then me so please be kind!
Thank you

For Umlaut, you could probably use phonetic keyboard. Highly recommended.
Use "Ukelele" to create keyboard layout and use dead key to map umlaut (like 'u = ü). With phonetic keyboard you can type as fast as with native keyboard (if not faster) and in unlimited number of languages, without re-learning the layout.
Brackets are quite easy accessible on Apple keyboard.

Item Codes with description in inventory - R12

Dear All
In R12, Inventory module, from where and how to get the item code and item description simultaneously.
e.g: Suppose I have an item having 3 segments. I want to display the item code with descriptions like this:
01-Stores | 001-Waste | 0001-Cotton

similarly '001' is code of segment 2 and its value against a value set is 'Waste'
and '0001' is code of segment 3 and its value against a value set is 'Cotton'
Please advise

Start with this    SELECT     ffv1.description || ffv2.description || ffv3.description
     FROM mtl_system_items_b msi
          fnd_flex_values_vl ffv1,
          fnd_flex_values_vl ffv2,
          fnd_flex_values_vl ffv3,
    WHERE ffv1.flex_value = msi.segment1
      AND ffv1.flex_value_set_id = 1010291
      AND ffv2.flex_value = msi.segment2
      AND ffv2.flex_value_set_id = 1010292
      AND ffv3.flex_value = msi.segment3
      AND ffv3.flex_value_set_id = 1010293
      AND msi.organization_id = &organization_id and msi.inventory_item_id = &inventory_item_id You will have to change the value set ids above. You can find those id's by going to the KFF definition screen for items.
