Lagging when rolling over objects, text boxes, images in indesign CS5

I just installed CS5 suite onto my new upgraded machine. In InDesign, whenever I roll the cursor over and object, image, text box, there is about a 1-2 second lag in the cursor, almost like my system freezes as Indesign differentiates between the bounding boxes. My system is brand new and exceeds all system requiremnts for running CS5. Photoshop renders 3D lightning fast and I have encountered no other issues in any of the other Apps so far. Indesing itself runs fine until there are multiple frames on a page at which point just moving the pointer from one side of the screen to the other results in choppin movements and lag. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Set your Live Screen Drawing preference to delayed. Does that help?

My mouse disappears when moved over any text box?

After downloading Mozilla Firefox, my mouse no longer appears when moved over text boxes, such as the box I am typing in now. Any ideas? Thanks.

when your moving your arrow cursor over textbox its changes to Text cursor
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Linked images "jump" when rolled over

When rolling over an image being viewed on a page in IE/Mozilla, it seems to "jump" if it is linked to a larger version of the same image. Am guessing it is a setting in Page Properties, but I believe I've changed just about everything with no luck.
The actual code of an example is: <td width="250"><div align="center"><a href="http://www.meistersoftware.com/images/tmp_pkg.jpg"><img src="images/tmp_pkg_tn_f8.jpg" width="140" height="101" alt="sc tmp" /></a></div></td>
Any suggestions? Please be gentle if it's a blatantly obvious error

Would be glad to but it's not online yet. Here's the entire <div> Hopefully, it may shed some light -

Pb with handCursor when rolling over text embedded in a MC

Hi,
I have a little pb when creating movieClip buttons containing
a textField.
Indeed when rolling over the button, and precisely rolling
over the text contained in my button, the handCursor is replaced by
the normal arrow. How can I prevent that? I mean having the
handCursor displayed over the whole button, not only outside the
textField areas?
If you don't see what I mean, please consider the following
simple code , you will see that when rolling over "HELLO" the
handCursor disaoppears :
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.*;
var buttonClip=new MovieClip();
buttonClip.buttonMode=true;
buttonClip.useHandCursor=true;
buttonClip.graphics.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
buttonClip.graphics.beginFill(0xaaaaaa,100);
buttonClip.graphics.drawRect(0,0,200,20);
buttonClip.graphics.endFill();
buttonClip.x=50;
buttonClip.y=50;
this.addChild(buttonClip);
var texte=new TextField();
texte.text="HELLO";
texte.selectable=false;
buttonClip.addChild(texte);
Thanks for your help,
Pascal

I am having a similar problem. I was using MX 2004 and the
hand cursor displayed over the whole movie, even on loaded movies.
On movies that will be loaded over the base_level are loaded the
arrow is never displayed, and is always a hand. When the movies are
viewed separately the arrow changes to hand cursor as it should.
With the exception of the base movie which is always the hand
cursor. I did find code for mx2004 to correct this, but it would
mean that i would need to add code to every instance on the stage
across 6 loadedMovies, and the base level.
Does the CS3 document class correct this action? If so, how
do i find out what code to use.

Font change when I make a text box transparent

Hi All
I have been using Captivate 4 for over a year and have just come across a strange event.
When I change a text box caption type from a coloured background, such as adobe blue, adobe pop up etc, to transparent, the font type and style change from what I originally had and I am unable to change it back.
For example I am using Verdana 12 black in adobe blue caption. When I change this to transparent the font style changes to something else, even though the application still says the font is Verdana 12 black. It is very obvious it is a different font to Verdana as the other text on the slide that has not been changed to transparent looks very different to the transparent text box font.
This font looks nothing like Verdana as it is smaller and thicker; it resembles Arial Black though it is not quite that either.
This change occurs when I am using a text box on its own or a text box associated with a roll over slidelet.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening, and should I post this in bug fixes?
cheers
thedarf

Hi there
In addition to Lilybiri's advice, you can also typically achieve the desired effect by editing the Text Caption and positioning the cursor at the end of all text. Just press Ctrl+End to do this. Then press Enter a couple of times to introduce a couple of blank lines. Then format the last line as bulleted. After that, adjust the size of the caption so you don't see the bulleted blank line.
Cheers... Rick

Error KeyNote 09 with mouse right click over any text box

Hi,
I always receive the message "Unexpected error" when right click over any text box on Keynote 09.
I have tried everythin (remove preferences, reinstall, ...) but nothing works...
Any suggestion?
Regards,

Hi All,
I found the culprit to be Babylon as well. Instead of removing Babylon, I changed the key combination to something funky like CMDOPT+SHIFTMOUSE click to call up the translator. After doing so, the Keynote right-click error went away.
cheers

Can you extend multiple over set text boxes at once?

I am in the process of changing many large Indesign files from MAC to PC which has created, in some cases, hundreds of over set text boxes.
I'm looking for a faster way of fixing these files as extending each of these text boxes one by one is taking up a lot of time. I am currently using the pre-flight panel.
I have Indesign CC 2014.1.

Not the answer to your question, but merely moving from Mac to PC should not be causing text to go overset. Seems likely you've got a font substitution, or perhaps you've also changed the version of ID, or both.
Do you have an object style assigned to the text frames? Perhaps redefining the style to include auto-sizing will solve the problem.

Since moving to Maverick and the new updated of Keynote, I have a constant problem when typing in a text box, the program crashes. Is there a bug fix for this. Drives me nuts.

Since moving to Maverick and the new updated of Keynote, I have a constant problem when typing in a text box, the program crashes. Is there a bug fix for this. Drives me nuts. Like many who can type quite quickly but at secretarial level, the text box freezes, nothing works and you know what's coming...crash!
This is most annoying. Is there bug fixes for this. Apparently I have the current updates and this problem still exists. Is it a Maverick bug or Keynote.
Barry

How did you install Mavericks, as an update ontop of the previous OS or did you wipe the drive and install clean?

Does anyone know if there is a text box generator for InDesign

Is there a text box generator in InDesign that will allow you to create a text box with XXX amount of words in it? I work for a newspaper pagination desk and we always get asked to keep a hole for a story that may have 500 words in it. If there is such a thing this would be greatly helpful for people in my position to use this and implement it in the whole office so that we could plug in a space and keep a rough idea as to how much space we need.
Thanks in advance for your help

Use Type > Fill with Placeholder Text to generate lots of text. Select some text, then use Window > Info to display the number of selected words. Expand or contract the selection by holding Shift, or Shift+Cmd/Ctrl, and pressing arrow keys. When you have the number of words you want, copy, press Escape, click an empty spot on a page, then paste; the copied text appears in is own text frame. Select the frame and use Object > Fitting > Fit Frame to Content contain all the text within the frame.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign placeholder text" without quotes for info on changing the actual placeholder text, and also info on a text generator.

How do I save image and text as a single image in InDesign CS5.0?

How do I save an image and text as one image in InDesign CS5.0? NOT 5.5.
I need to save the image as a 72-dpi, jpg file for ePub purposes. I designed a book and am handing it off to someone for ePub.
This is what I've tried:
1) Copied from InDesign, pasted into a PhotoShop doc as a Smart Object. Saved it as 72 dpi jpg, then imported back into ID.
2) Took a screenshot of ID page, placed it in PS, saved as 72 dpi, imported into ID
3) Saved page as a PDF from InDesign, then saved PDF as 72 dpi jpg, then imported into ID.
4) Save page as a PDF from InDesign, placed into Photoshop and saved
as 72 dpi, then imported into ID.
5) Saved as an EPS from InDesign, placed in PS, then imported back to ID.
In all cases, the type looks terrible. It doesn't seem to matter whether I copy or place into Photoshop, though placing is slightly better.
HELP!!!

In all cases, the type looks terrible. It doesn't seem to matter whether I copy or place into Photoshop, though placing is slightly better.
Naturally what you did will result in rasterized text. Did you preview with high quality settings?
Are you sure the people who will handle that downstream need pixel images and do you have the exact pixel dimensions needed?
Why did you place the image back in Indesign, by the way?

Importing Microsoft Word document with images to InDesign CS5

Hey,
I'm trying to import a MS Word document that contains inline images to InDesign CS5.
I tried File->Place with checking "Import Inline Graphics" but unfortunately it imports the document without the images, there are blank regions where the images are suppose to be.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Kathy

Yes, aligning image on its own paragraph works, I will skip wraping text inside paragraph, this can be done inside InDesign. Here is one part of Internet PDF books I am talking about, both are in Serbian http://issuu.com/bojan_zivkovic/docs/prikazivanje_slika_u_adobe_photoshop_elements - word + indesign, http://www.scribd.com/doc/49583823/Nau%C4%8Dite-Adobe-Photoshop - indesign only
Basicaly I am writing tutorials then turn them into PDF books, for now.
Thank you, I never try to insert image on its own paragraph.

Grey Boxes when rolling over type in Illustrator CS5.5

This is driving me insane. I have to have a solution as this is a work computer and I'm a designer who has deadlines to meet.
Whenever I roll over, select, move or try to edit some type elements in Illustrator, the preview of the type flicks into grey boxes (see below).
There's no cursor and I can't see what I'm typing nor can I be precise with the text placement.
What is the problem and how do I fix it?

By dock do you mean the Swatches panel? Have you tried the Delete Unused Panel Items action from the Action panel. They can also be in Symbols or Brushes but if you run the action it will delete them in order so that the color swatches are deleted last and if they were in a Symbol, Graphic Stlye or Brush with the original gone they should delete. Also make sure that everything is visible and unlocked.
