Need help with InDesign CS2 table

How do you add multiple cells vertically to 1 row in a table? When I try to do this it add cells to the entire table. When I try to adjust them by clicking and dragging right or left, it moves all the other cells. I am using IDCS2

CS2 is a little primitive, but put your cursor in the cell you want to divide, then Table > Split Cell Vertically (or horizontally), which will divide it in half. Repeat as necessary. To adjust the dimensions of the split cells over the text tool over a divider until you see the double-headed arrow, then press the Shift key while dragging the divider.

  • I need help with Indesign.

    I am working on a book project using Indesign 1.5. I have got a new computer. Installation of the Indesign software was problem free but when i open my book project i have a problem that i can not figure out.
    When i put the marker in the middel of a text and pressing the enter tab, to move it down a line,  the text after the marker disappear and a red + showing at the bottom of the text box.
    I will appresiate it a lot if anyone can give me help with this set up problem!

    Try pressing the primary Enter key to the right of the Home Row, not the Enter key in the number pad. If that doesn’t work, look at your paragraph spacing options wherever the paragraph formatting is in that version. Space Above or Space Below might be set too high.
    In the future, please both use a more appropriate subject line and provide your platform. This forum is for people needing help with InDesign, so “I need help with Indesign” is just as helpful as leaving the subject line blank. We’re here to help you.

  • Need help with InDesign 2.02

    I have an old version of InDesign: InDesign 2.02. It is quitting when I open it, telling me that I have a conflict with Text Wrap plugins, and to remove one of them, which I did, without success. I also used my Mac disc utility app and cleared up any problems that might have occurred with the hard drive. Also, I would like to upgrade to the next InDesign version, but don't even know what to upgrade to. Can someone help here? I have a 2003 IMac running OS 10.4.11.

    Given those hardware and budget constraints, I'd try to fix the existing system.
    First do a Finder search for Text Wrap plugins.
    There should be exactly three (the path to the InDesign folder may differ)
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2/Required/Text Wrap
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2/Required/Text Wrap Path
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign 2/Plug-Ins/Layout/Text Wrap Panel
    Eventually it is sufficient to log in as a different user, and launch InDesign from there.
    Then clean your preferences. Take Peter's instructions below with a grain of salt - ID2 will differ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
    I think the keyboard shortcuts to purge prefs have only been added with InDesign 3 (CS1).
    More desparate measures:
    Remove (archive, or at least rename) the useless old InDesign installation before you retry the Installer.
    If nothing else helps:
    Do you have any spare disk (i.e. external firewire) or separate internal volume that you could use for a clean OS and InDesign install? There are cheap FW to SATA adapters that you could use for a new disk, most budget disks today internally have SATA. Back in that time I was only using Laptops, so I do not know whether your system already has the faster USB2. If so use that, you'd then not need FW.

  • Need help with paging in table layout

    Hi
    I am creating a basic table-form page with around 5000 rows in database table that needs to be displayed.
    However what i see after creating the table form page and adding detail groups i loose paging in the table layout.
    This is however undesirable.I cannot think of what is exactly making this happen there are no significant changes that i have made to the application.
    If I could know what possibly is causing the change, help would be appreciated.
    I can discuss this in detail.

    Which version of JHeadstart are you using?
    What do you mean with "i loose paging in the table layout"? Are the previous/next set and drop down list to select a range no longer displayed?
    Can you reproduce this in the HR demo applcation?
    If you remove the detail groups again, is pagination then working again.

    This can be rewritten as a single query which is good for a
    number of reasons, including we only make one trip to the database
    and we do our calculations on the SQL backend, which is faster than
    doing them in CFML.
    What you're going to want to do is SUM() the total
    transaction values by having a column like SUM(Num_Checks_Trans *
    Value) AS totalTrans. To get the value for your other column you
    can calculate that like Num_Checks_Trans / Weekly_Hours_Recorded. I
    didn't see the latter in either of your queries so I'm not sure
    where it comes from, but you can definitely use it in your SELECT
    clause when calculating.
    Since SUM() is an aggregate function, you'll have to use a
    GROUP BY clause to make it work. You'll have to GROUP BY each
    column in the SELECT statement. If some of the columns have
    differing data that you won't want to use in the GROUP, you can
    always use a nested subquery as part of your FROM clause and then
    join that to the original queries with the totals.
    I hope that helps.

  • Need help with InDesign interactive PDF

    Ive created an interactive pdf through InDesign Digital Publishing. When I preview it in the folio builder everything is working the way I set it up. But when I publish and go to adobe's Digital Publishing to view it, only a few pages will show. I tried sharing it with another and they can only view two of the 10 pages. And the 2 pages they see do not work well. I was in CS6 and am upgrading to Cloud hoping that might help? Any ideas of what im doing wrong?

    This is my first file I have built in InDesign's Digital Publishing Layout. I built it as an iPad format horizontal and vertical layouts in one file. I added it as an article to one folio (first as pdf and also tried automatic). I created it with buttons, some basic animation (images that fade from one to another). Pretty basic stuff. When I go to view it in the folio builder or folio layers it is fine. When I click on folio producer it sends me to: https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/app.html#x=folioproducer to view the "content" which isn't all there. And that is what is seen on the iPad.  Does that make sense? I new to this and obviously doing something wrong. Thanks for any advice to get this to work.

  • Need help with adding a table-like chart

    Post Author: lindad
    CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
    I am trying to see if there is any way to add a table to a Crystal Report (using Crystal 10) that looks like a table you would create in MSWord.  We need an easy way to remove and add columns in a table and right now using drawn lines and moving fields to realign every time is a real pain.

    Post Author: lindad
    CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
    The table includes multiple rows and columns where the fields are from different places in the db.  Also, the headers are just txt fields that do not associate with a specific field. 
    If I add a border to the fields, I still need to manually move them horizontally and vertically to realign if I add or delete a column or row.  As you know in MSWord, if you add or remove a column or row in a table, the table automatically resizes itself and makes the fields line up correctly.
    Is there any way to do this in Crystal?

    I am working in InDesign cs6 and my color selection tool stopped working.

    Do I reply here? I have been creating a newspaper in InDesign cs6 and the color selection box won't work any longer.  It used to work just fine, but now it won't let me access it.

  • Need help with migrating CS2

    We are currently running CS2 on an XP machine and are looking to build a new system.  Will I be able to migrate CS2 to windows 7 or 8 and if so how can I do this without install disks?  Can I simply copy the program files over to the new machine.

    Utterly irrelevant because of this:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    You will have to properly install those versions one way or the other. Whether or not you will get them to run on win 7/8/8.1 is entirely between you and your computer skills, but by all rights keep in mind that you will be trying to install 10 year old software and all sorts of problems should be expected. Quite honestly it makes no sense at all and you'd probably be much happier to just sign on for Creative Cloud.

  • Need help with pl/sql tables

    The correct answer is b. The line in b attempts to define a PL/SQL TABLE TYPE using a record that contains a composite datatype, which is not allowed. Answers a, c, and d are incorrect because they will not generate any errors when compiled.

  • Need help with InDesign Data Merge

    I have set up a 5 x 8 postcard to print two up. When I use the multiple records option expecting to get two different addresses per page, it does not work. I get one address per page repeated twice. It also shifts all the graphi content of my postcard over about two inches to the right. Am I misunderstanding how the multiple records option is supposed to work? I am not using a multiple page document.

    To do multiple records per page you must have only one set of placeholders set up. ID will duplicate everything on the page.
