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.

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.

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

Create a new document with settings appropriate for SWF or XFL output.

I'm studying up for the CS4 ACE exam, and I'm stumped on something. In the "Laying out a Document" section, it says: "Create a new document with settings appropriate for SWF or XFL output." There isn't really anything specific to creating a document for flash, except that you wouldn't add bleed. I can't find anything online that addresses this. Am I missing something here? Any document can be exported to SWF or XFL. This seems rather ambiguous. What is there to know about this?

You're right that any document can be exported to SWF or XFL. I'm not sure what you're going to be asked on the ACE exam, but here are some resources:

Create settings for a new document

Here is my problem. When you create a new document in illustrator you have several options available in the new document window. You first can choose web/print/film… and then select a size (A4, A3 for the print, for example) in the second menu.
I am trying to make my own setting. Making it appears in the first menu is not hard. Just duplicate one of the predefined files and change the name and it appears in the menu presets. Done. But I didn't find a way of changing the sizes option (where I put the arrow). I cannot find anywhere in the predefined document a way of doing this and to have my own predefined sizes in the second menu instead of the standard A4, A3… sizes. Anyone might know how to achieve this settings ? Thanks

Ignore the section whcih says "Letter" "A4" or whatever. You can't change those headings.
To set your own chosen size, in the boxes which contain width/height dimensions just type in the sizes which you need, and adjust the units if necessary
Then the bit which says "Letter etc" will just say "Custom"

Unable to Save new documents in InDesign CS5

I just upgraded from CS3 toCS5. I'm able to open old InDesign files and save but am not able to save a new document in CS5. I'm also not able to Undo. Any suggestions? Hoping this is an easy fix.

Hi,
Try re-creating the preferences.
For windows Xp:
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\ to the desktop.
Drag the "Caches" folder from C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0 to the desktop.
For Windows Vista:
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\ to the desktop.
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\.
For MAC:
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/ to the desktop.
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from Users/[user name]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/ to the desktop.
If this dosen't work tried creating new user account with Admin rights.

New Document' requires a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application and web browser

Hi Guys,
I am getting the above message when I try to create a new Excel document from a content type.
The background is that I am configuring Content Types for a document library in SharePoint 2013.
The first content type I added was a business case based on a Word doc that is stored in a different doc library on the same site. This content type works fine. I then added a second content type that references an Excel doc in the same doc library as the word
doc.
Interestingly when you click new document from the Files Ribbon the Business Case content type displays with the word icon next to it. The content type that references the Excel document does not display the Excel icon though. Almost like SharePoint itself
does not recognise the Excel format.
Prior to posting this question I confirmed that I have Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support enabled as part of my office 2013 instance. I have also confirmed that SharePoint OpenDocuments Class control is enabled within my IE settings.

IE version and Office that is installed in your computer should have to the same version (32-bit).

History report page prints before printing each new document?cc=us

How do i stop my HP Officejet 6700 Premium from printing a history report page before printing each new document, using Windows 7 & Using Microsoft Word? When I open a document and print it, it prints a history including: File Name; Directory; Template; Title; Subject; Keywords; Comments; creation Date; Change Number; Last Saved On; Last Saved By; Total Editing; Last Printed On; As of Last Printing....
Everything worked perfectly for a year, then I had to reinstall the printer because I deleted it by mistake. I cary it with me when I travel to meetings and didn't have my install disk, so I had to download the install software. I haven't changed any settings in Word, but it appears that the report is generated from Word.
Help will be appreciated. I can't find any other topic like mine to see an already presented solution.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
The report indeed being generated by Word and not by the pritner driver.
As you did not clarify your MS Office version I included the steps for Word 2010, I believe the same should also apply for Word 2007:
From Word click the File menu, then select Options.
Select Display from the left pane.
Under the Printing Options sections, uncheck the box next to Print document properties.
Click OK and try printing again.
If you cannot find the specific option, please clarify your exact Microsoft Wiord version.

Import gif onto new document

Hi
I am using cs4 trial.
I already own MX
In CS4.
Lets say i create a new document. I then import an animated
GIF.
Once it is dropped onto the document, Suddenly i cannot move
it. It seems i can only move the image that is on the current frame
or state. It seems that all the images generated on all the frames
are no longer linked.
There must be something i am missing.
I would like to build Animated GIF's from other animated
gif's. And build a library of units of gif animations.
Any sugestions?
Thanks

First thing to try is deleting your Photoshop preferences and letting the application create new preferences files on re-launch.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Creating a new document

I created a new help project and I want to divide the project
into different doc files: Ihave my general project "tas" but Iwant
to have beside my Tas.doc in this project also tasintro.doc and
tasbasic.doc. When i want to create these new documents I get
always the message:
"Robohelp received Word error 537. If you continue to get
this error, contact macromedia for technical support".
I have recognized that Robohelp generates the rbh file but
could not generate the doc files.( because it could not find them).
I have tried the same at the PC of a colleague and it works.
Is there something wrong with the settings of Robohelp or
what could be the reason for this?

A new document is also helpful for pasting copied content.

New document type for PR/PO

Hi,
I have arequirement where the PO's and PR's are mapped from APO to R3. The requiremtn is the PO mapped should not trigger release strategy. But our release strategy is defined on Doc type/POrg/Value.
So, we suggested for creation of new document type. This document type will not have release stragegy.
Now, the PO coming form APO will be ampped to STO in R3. What all configuration needs to be maintained?

Hi,
Your understanding to exclude document types from release strategy is correct.
For STO Configuration, go to the following:
If the document type created in for Intra Company then in Doc type config against your doc type put T in the Control Colum, if its inter company then this is not required.
Next go to - Materials Management à Purchasing à Purchase Order à Set Up Stock Transport Order à Define Shipping Data for Plants
Here you assign the Sales Area Data for the Plant.
Next go to Materials Management u2192 Purchasing u2192 Purchase Order u2192 Set Up Stock Transport Order u2192 Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule
Assign Delivery type NL for Intra Company STO and NLCC for Inter Company STO to your Doc Type.
These are basic settings, to understand the complete process you can refer

Setting english as the default language for a new document with arabic version of CC apps

first off, appologies for the screen name, the name i'm sure i had registered before with account was suppose dot be looged in as was barred, so i used this in frustration. Read the book, The Etymologicon to learn more.
and another note. why is the font size in the subject on this form gigantic? intentional of cockup?
Now, to the point.
Please please enlighten me, I'm sure it's simple but i can't find the answer and have been haphazardly ploughing the net for half the night.
I have installed the Arabic langauge version of CC software becuase i need to do a lot of bilingual layouts.
But
I generally use, and start with english, but the defualt new document is always set to all the arabic settings, which is a nightmare.
How do i make english the defualt type (and all the paragraph and language options) while retaining the functionaility of arabic version.
I've found instructions for CS2-6 but nothing remotely sensible about CC, and presume i'm missing something really really obvious.

Why do my frames shift when I move pages to a new document?

I am using a template from my company and every time I move this one template page into a new document the frames shift to the right a quarter inch. This does not happen on other template pages and no one knows how to fix it.

No, changing to a different wifi network has no effect on emails. However, if you disconnect your device from icloud (Settings>icloud) and then connect using a different ID (a different icloud account), then you will lose the emails.
I provided info above for both a wifi connection and icloud connection, since you used the expression, "wifi account" and that is not a correct expression to use. You connect to a wifi router possibly using a password, and connecting to icloud is a totally unrelated thing.

Document panel not opening in Office due to error in new document libraries

Hi,
all our new document libraries have the same issues when opening office documents with standard document panel.
The form contains schema validation errors.
Content for element 'documentManagement' is incomplete according to the DTD/Schema.
Expecting: {fa742bdc-a2be-4b36-877c-a90d9817da44}_dlc_DocIdPersistId.
It is a standard sharepoint info path form, no custom form? What can be the issue?
regards
Martin

I have been seeing the same thing. I can go to library settings and change the advanced setting to "Open in the browser" and the document panel opens fine after clicking "edit in Word". If it is set to "Open in the client
application", then the same error you state above is given.
Our environment is SharePoint 2013/O365.
