"New document" dialog changed in DW8

Has anybody had this oddity in Dreamweaver 8? The dialog box
for New Document has been the new one introduced in 8 (easier to
show a screen shot) which has five icons down the left side saying
Blank Page, Blank Template, Page from Template, Page from Sample
and Other and a globe image background. Yesterday, my Dreamweaver
started displaying a different, simpler New dialog box without the
icons. It has General and Templates tabs at the top and looks very
similar to older versions of Dreamweaver. It also does not give me
access to the CSS templates (1 column elastic, etc)
How can I return it to the previous 'new' New dialog?

I'm afraid people are not responding because they don't
understand your
question. Do you mean taking things you have already designed
and
pulling them into a new site in Dreamweaver? Have you looked
up (F1)
how to define a site in DW?

Photoshop CS4 new document dialog issue...

http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/7835/optionpu6.gif
Can this Photoshop CS4 new document dialog issue be improved? Info in the pic.

there's a feature request section at the top of the fourm allen. these kinds of posts should be done in there, so the programmers and engineers at adobe have them all in one place.

New Document dialog defaults to picas?

I have set Millimeters in the unit prefs.
Why am I seeing picase in the New Document dialog?

Set your preferences
i without any document open
-- only then they will be saved as global defaults.
A quick way of setting the units
i with an open document
is to right-click on the horizontal or vertical ruler. Separately, you can set different units for horizontal and vertical. Right-click on the top left intersection point and you'll set both.
Another quick way is toggling units with the keyboard -- Apple+Alt+Shift+U (presumably -- check under Keyboard Shortcuts -> Product area : Views, Navigation -> Toggle Measurement System). This works with or without a document open. Open the Paragraph panel to see what it's set to :-)
Of course, you can enter any measurement into any edit field; just add the unit (f.e., "3 mm"). You can even enter font sizes in mm.

New document settings change pt's to centimeters

I am new to indesign and when I open a new document all the measurements are in points rather than in some metric measurement. How can I change it so I can make the page the size I want using centimeters?
Thanks

Change it in your preferences with no documents open.

HELP: Illustrator CS2 New Document Presets

I frequently use illustrator for a variety of page layouts and different projects. My problem is that the list of preset document sizes in the "New Document" dialog is not much help to me, it contains all the wrong paper sizes and I would like to change that.
Does anyone know a way to edit this list so I can have my own presets available each time I create a new document?

Look up Templates in the online help.

Automatically attaching CSS style sheets to new documents

I wanted to alert everyone to a great new Community article published by Adobe Community Expert David Powers. The article details how to attach CSS style sheets automatically when you create new documents.
Here's the article:
http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/505/cpsid_50564.html
This handy option is easy to miss, especially if you don't use the New Document Dialog box to create documents, so big thanks to David for highlighting this.
Furthermore, the appearance of such an article is a great example of how Community content can interact and live symbiotically with Adobe Help. We've linked directly to David's piece from our documentation, and this is indeed a great thing because David is able to go into much more detail about the process of automatically attaching style sheets than we are able to do in Help:
Create a blank page
Create a page with a CSS layout
If you're interested in publishing Community articles of your own, you can download the Community Publishing AIR application and get right to work!

Can I ask why?
David's excellent standard should be the minimum standard for Help files.
The quality of software manufacturers' Help (not just Adobe) has deteriorated greatly over the past decade - to the point where it's now my last resort for learning.
Software manufacturers seem to tacitly rely on 3rd party book authors (such as David's brilliant material), bloggers and online tutorials to explain their products these days.
I'm happy not to have a printed book with my software any more because they were always out-of-date and hard to update. However the quality of PDF and online Help docs is so poor and sparse for my use that I prefer to get my answers by Googling, visiting forums or buying the occasional book.

Customised new document?

Is it possible to alter the basic 'New Document' settings so that every time I create a new document it retains my personal settings, i.e colours/page size etc, templates are not the answer as I simply want to hit 'new' and start working.?
In effect I suppose I want to create a template and then make that the default 'new document'

Yes.
First, any colors and styles you create with no documents open will exist in every new document. Second, within the New Document dialog, you can adjust page size, bleed, slug, margins and columns. From there, you can save a preset, and it all settings will be there every time you want a new document. (I'm pretty sure that your choice in that dialog is sticky, so if you choose a preset, it will be the only selected by default the next time you need a new document.)
EDIT: the above mention of document presets is from InDesign, and is not available in Illustrator. But the colors and styles with no document open will work.

Where are the files that are referenced in this video?

Creating a new "Link to a Document" opens Word document or upload document dialog - plus more!

The Link to Document content type seems to be corrupted at root. When I attempt to create a new Link, either Word opens with a blank document or the "Upload" document dialog opens. It's been changing as I investigate.
One things I've noticed is that the "Link to a Document" Content Type on the parent site collection now shows it's parent as Document. this explains why the Word document opens, but not why the Upload dialog does.
While writing this question, I decided to check further and it seems that the other document types, Audio, Video etc. all now have Document as the parent and are opening a blank Word document.
Has anyone seen this behavior? How do I fix this?
This is on SharePoint 2010.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I spoke too soon. The process worked for all the custom content types, but the default Document type was still messed up. I probably should have fixed that one first, but...
Anyhow, the Document type had no template going to the Upload File dialog rather than the blank Word document it's supposed to go to. I followed the same procedure I'd followed for the other content types, checking what worked on another site and using that
template which in this case was a blank field:
So, I went opened Document, Document Content Type and went to advanced settings. The template field was empty, which matched the working site, so thinking that if I saved, it would match up with the working site. I saved the Document content type and when
after several minutes the save failed with an incredibly long list of locations where that were being perceived as "read only" plus several hidden content types that were listed as sealed. This snapshot shows a few of they many pages of content types. (I poorly
struck through confidential info):
Besides this gigantic error, which would require going to hundreds of locations on the site to change read access settings, which are, as far as I can tell actually not "read only" or are inaccessible, such as the hidden "System Page Layout' and so forth
which shouldn't be based upon the default document type anyway and therefor not fixable, I need to understand why this is happening and what to do about it. I don't want to spend the next two days going over all of these libaries and content types and ending
up back where I started with all the content types still screwed up. Afterall, I've spent about a day creating all these custom Content Types only to have the default Document content type loose its settings and corrupting everything and another day fixing
it and having it happen again.
This is a highly unacceptable behavior on the part of SharePoint and I would really like to fix this.
Help is sorely needed.
Thanks in advance

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

HT4942 After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

I upgraded pages. Now when I begin a new document I automatically have a text box. How do I get rid of the text box so that it does not automatically appear. What settings do I need to change?

Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

CS5 "save as" format menu changed when creating new document

Hi,
When creating a new document in photoshop CS5 i cannot save as a jpeg or png or the other large list of file types i used to have in the save as format menu,
below is what i used to be able to save as but can only do this when actually opening a jpeg file and not when creating a new document
this is the options i have now
i haven't been using photoshop that long and am no genius with pc's so i'm a little lost here, does anyone know why this has happened and if there is a solution to this, your help will be greatly appreciated. my spec are windows 7 64bit, core i7, nvidia 260gtx.

It looks as if you are creating documents in a format incompatible with certain file types.
For example, check in the New dialog that it is set for RGB Color – 8-bit.

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

Can the default text in new Pages documents be changed? if so how?

Can I change the default font style in Pages? If so how? I want all documents I wish to create to open in a new font.

Hi Sheila,
Open a new blank document from Template Chooser. Set the font and anything else you want as your standard, then File > Save As Template.
Then in Pages > Preferences > General > For new documents > Use Template > Choose
Then when you open Pages from the Dock (or LaunchPad if your system has that) you will get a blank document based on that template. Same when you go to File > New (command n)
Regards,
Ian.
