Is it possible to lock areas of an InDesign template so users can't make changes to those areas?

Thanks

this will kinda work
you could create 2 ID documents. Locked.indd and editable.indd.
Locked one you layout all the protected stuff, place it (so that it linked... duh) in the editable one in which you create whatever you want people to be able to edit. Lock the position of the linked indd doc and the layer even... not perfect but workable
The upshot of this is that if you don't distribute the linked editable.indd InDesign file, the users get a low-res preview in locked.indd in which text is basically illegible, and if you give 'em the linked InDesign file, they can edit it with impunity. But, yeah, any restrictive locked-down workflow in ID would require a workaround like this. I sometimes make deliberately bad PDFs that are hard to edit in Acrobat and place those into InDesign.
If you specify what you want to lock down, and whom you want to prevent from making changes, then maybe someone can specify a workaround that is more applicable to your situation. The suggestion that makes the most sense is InCopy, if you want people to edit text but not anything else, or if you want to "check out" particular parts of an InDesign file.

My Energy Saver option is locked - how do I unlock it? When I click on the lock, I can't make changes - it will not unlock.

I use mymsn page and when upgrading to Firefox 4 the changes went away and I can not make changes to the stocks area or see my emails. How do I fix that?

Mymsn has areas that allow you to list your stocks and also an area that allows you to see what emails you have waiting to be read. Both of these areas went away when I upgraded to Firefox 4 last week. When clicking on the menu area to make changes, nothing happens. How do I get back the information that was in these areas? Also the customize button does not work.

Do you have Adblock Plus installed? If you do, disable on the page where you normally see your stock info. I've uploaded an image of what happens on another site where ABP is enabled. The Global News image disappears with ABP enabled even though it's not an ad.
If that doesn't work, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

There is the possibility of making all my itunes podcast so that users can view a repertoire?

There is the possibility of making all my itunespodcast so that users can view a repertoire?

If you mean you have several podcasts and would like them all to be listed on the same page, you may be able to get the Store to set up what they call an 'Artist Page' which does this.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/creatorfaq.html says:
How can I create a page that aggregates my podcasts?
If you have multiple podcasts listed in the iTunes Store, the iTunes staff can create a single page that lists all of them in one place. We call this page an “artist page.” Note that a podcast can only appear on one artist page.
To request an artist page, navigate to one of your podcasts, click on Report a Concern, and select Remove a Podcast. In the dialog box, explain that you would like an artist page, give us the exact name of the artist (please don’t include “Inc,” “LLC,” etc.), and list the exact feed URLs or links to your podcasts.

Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending." However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

Hi,
My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country). Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound. However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot. Is that true? If so, how do I do that?
Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
Sincerely,
- Matt

Is it possible to lock a certain area from paging?

In my folios I have an area on the very top where web content is embedded.
In this web content there is also a progress knob that you can move from the left to the right and conversely.
If you don't touch this knob exactly, the folio moves a bit to the left or right - and not the knob.
Is it possible to lock this area, so that pagging to the next or prevous side is only possible below it?

Or make sure your HTML handles touch gestures, even if it does nothing with them. If the HTML handles the gesture (not just the button, but also the backround of the page) then we won't get it and won't navigate pages.

Is it possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

please explain wheterit is possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

You want to process code on one machine, and thereby lock the keyboard on another machine? No, that's not possible. It is extremely far from possible.
Of course, if the client is running software with security holes in it you might hack into it and crash the thing. This will lock up the keyboard pretty good. I hope that's not what you want ...
Or are you talking about a setup where you already have code running on the client, and some sort of communication between client and server? In that case what you need to know is whether it is possible to lock the keyboard at all. Once you have figured that out, it is trivial to add the communication code to have the server software tell the client software to lock the keyboard.
So what do you mean with "lock the keyboard"? It's pretty easy to remove/disable all keyboard related listeners in your own application. It's a lot harder (and AFAIK impossible with pure java) to disable alt-tabbing out of the application. And impossible, except from exploiting security holes, to lock the ctrl-alt-delete-combination on windows machine.

Is it possible to lock out the Key Board commands in Keynote?

Is it possible to lock out your key board actions in Keynote? This happened all of a sudden. My keyboard has no effect on my trying to change text colors or enter characters. By using the mouse to add text the text box appears but I cannot change the character color.I can change it with the mouse and the new color is displayed but when I type nothing appears as the default color is white and the background is white. I did a copy and paste from a previous slide and I can enter the line to start editing but nothing appears. Nor can I delete anything with the Key board. This is only happening in Keynote. If I use the Key Board to send an email everything works fine. Can type and use the delete button so it seems that the Key Board is fine with other Apps, this is just happening in Keynote. It seems like the Key Board actions are not taking place, it is as if the Key Board is locked out of the Keynote functions.
Thanks in advance for any help
Rodger

Try resetting Keynote as follows:
remove Keynote version 6.5, you must use an application removal tool for this procedure to work: Appcleaner is free, I use Appzapper
empty the trash
Shut Down the Mac (Apple menu > Shut Down)
wait 10 seconds, then press the power button
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key, release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple screen
start up will take a few minutes longer than usual as the Mac is performing a repair routine
restart the Mac normally, (don’t hold down any keys during startup)
install Keynote from the Mac App Store

Error in BSP runtime repository: "Not possible to lock runtime repository"

Hi,
When I tried to change runtime repository of a component BT120H_CPL, in BSP component workbench, I am getting the following error: (The component is already enhanced one only).
Not possible to lock runtime repository
Message no. BSP_WD_TOOLS216
Diagnosis
You can only lock and edit runtime repositories that are saved statically in a BSP page. This means that the page may not contain dynamic elements, such as ABAP source code or page includes. Dynamic BSP pages must be loaded via HTTP and cannot be locked or edited.
It is also not possible to lock or edit runtime repositories that are only referenced as a URL or that are in the MIME repository.
System Response
Lock not possible. You remain in display mode.
Could you please help me out for the same.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
There is another way of commenting the code as below:

This wouldn't cause any scripting comment. Generally we use <% %> type of comments if we want to comment more than 1 line at a time. But for repository we have to use code as I mentioned above for each line seperately.
I hope that resolves your query
Thanks,
Rohit

What locks are required on a table when Oracle is processing an UPDATE

What locks are required on a table when Oracle is processing an
UPDATE statement?

Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you post provide your 4 digit Oracle version.
>
What locks are required on a table when Oracle is processing an
UPDATE statement?
>
Here is a relevant quote from the 'Lock Modes' section of the doc that Ed Stevens provided
>
Assume that a transaction uses a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE statement to select a single table row. The transaction acquires an exclusive row lock and a row share table lock. The row lock allows other sessions to modify any rows other than the locked row, while the table lock prevents sessions from altering the structure of the table. Thus, the database permits as many statements as possible to execute.
>
The above describes the locks when you, the user, tells Oracle to lock the row.

Is it possible to lock the Asset after capitalization - GR Posting done

Hi,
The Fund Reservation configuration containing with Fund, Fund Centre & Commitment Item is linked with Asset at the time of creation of PR.
If we change the asset in PR, the new Commitment Item is showing after GR posting.
At the same time old commitment item is showing through Invoice Posting.
Is it possible GR reversal after capitalization of Asset ?
Invoice raised through FB60 not MIRO. Hence, Invoice No. details are not shown in PO History. Payment made and the capitalization impact shown in the Asset Master also.
Please confirm the following:
If the open GR (capitalized) in PO - Is it possible to lock the relevant Asset?
If the open GR (capitalized) in PO - Is it possible to block the PO?
Expecting few valuable guidelines from MM forum.

Is it possible to lock the BPS planning obj in QA or PRD system?

Hi,
Is it possible to lock the BPS planning obj in QA or PRD system? We chnage the client setting in SCC4 with no change allowed. But, user can still change or create planning objects in the BPS0. Is any way to lock that?
Best Regards,
Jeff

Jeff,
You would have to develop specialized role / profile that controls the different planning objects: i.e. transactions, Planning area, planning level, planning functions, etc.
We had used a whitepaper or OSS notes in addition to looking at the profile/role for SEM_ALL to start locking down on things... Might post more when I find my notes.

Is it possible to lock individual app like messages, photos etc without jailbreak in io8....?

Is it possible to lock individual app like messages, photos etc without jailbreak in io8....?

No third-party app can do what you want as those apps do not have access to iOS as a whole. They are (for the most part) sandboxed, and cannot directly access other apps.
