Newbie Needs Good DW Glossary

I'm looking for a very basic on-line glossary of terms used
in DW. I'd like the terms defined with layman language, not using
other misunderstood terms which defeats the purpose of a
definition. I'd also prefer that the words be defined in terms of
their function so I know how the item fits into other items, ie
"Shotgun: a rifle which shoots a spray of small pellets (shot)
often used in hunting wild fowl." If I was new to hunting I'd know
the purpose of the rifle as well as what it is (OH, I see, hard to
hit a moving target with a single bullet!), and how that rifle
might fit into my hunting gun collection. If anyone knows of a good
glossary please let me know. Thank you!!!

Open DW. Press F1. Browse through the help files. Search for
terms you
are not familiar with....

  • How to View by Collection AND Tag - Newbie Needs Good Documentation

    I am a self-study student trying to decide whether upgrading to Elements (or better) is worth it. I am comparing Adobe and Microsoft products.
    In Album Starter 3.2, all I want to do is one simple task: View pictures by Collection AND category. (I've been looking for help for over an hour - aaaagh!)
    1. For ex., I have a collection called Abstract. I also use color tags. I'd like to view only the photos in the Abstract collection that are Pink.
    Is this possible?
    ALSO before I buy any product I have to be convinced that the value I'll receive is worth the price.
    2. Can I view the documentation of the Adobe software package before I purchase it?
    3. Do the Adobe products have software documentation help that doesn't require going online? I'm looking for help files similar to those provided on Word, Excel, etc. 3a. Do they exist?
    4. Is there a list of specific Features/Benefits that compares the different versions of Adobe? (I have looked on the product sales sites and what I found was far too general.)
    Thank you so much for your time. I think this software might be what I'm looking for BUT since I don't take classes, good documentation is something I can't live without. It'd be great if you could add a "newbie section on your website. I think more "newbies" like me would either buy or become "devoted users" if they knew what they could do. Thanks again!

    There is a site on Adobe.com that has online video of various training sessions of using the products. Most clips are 2-3 min. Look for video workshop. If you have Vista Advanced Find (shortcut windows key and F) works good for sorting.

  • I need good gui in swings for a library management system

    i need good gui in swing. i need to develope a small application of library management system where a librarian and manager access the database. librarian take care of add,del,modify the records of customer and books. with good login screens. and the manager is to generate reports

    Yup, create one. Good exercise.
    Doing it myself right now, am loosing track of my own collection ;)

  • MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing wirelessly to XP shared printer

    MacBook - Newbie: Need help on printing to XP shared printer
    Bear with me please. I read tons of articles on this but somehow as a newbie to MAC (girlfriends sick daughter), I am missing something. 10.5.2
    Currently, she can print directly if we plug in the HP Deskjet printer directly via USB to the MACBook. No problem.
    When we first got the MACBOOK I tried setting up the MACBOOK wirelessly to recognize the workgroup where the printer was attached via USB to the Windows XP PC. However it printed out garbage since I did not know there was a difference between XP printing and MAC (Gutenberg/gimp printing/drivers).
    Now I know there is a difference.
    But in reading various instructions, I no longer can find how to connect the MAC to the Windows workgroup. Note we do have a printer set up currently as USB-HP Deskjet on the Macbook (not sure I need to delete it yet).
    I went to System Preferences on MACBOOK and clicked on printers, more printers. In the drop down box was CANON, APPLETALK, IP HP printing and Firewire. There was no WINDOWS selection as I saw in other online web instructions.
    So not sure how to proceed to find a way to:
    1. Connect to Windows workgroup (click on what exactly), step by step please!!
    2. Add correct HP Deskjet 5490 printer (perhaps there is one with Gutenberg or perhaps I need Gutenprint-really not sure what I am talking about)
    Thanks so much in advance. Fiancé's kid has had her cancer recur in a different place and someone was nice enough to buy her a MACBOOK as a gift.
    Sincerely
    Peter

    OK...I figured it out...no need to reply.  I noticed that there was another Protocol to use to set up the printer on the Mac, I was using LPD, so I switched it to HP Jet Direct-socket, and it prints fine...thanks.  I am curious as to why LPD wouldn't work; if anyone has that answer I would like to know...thanks
    Any chance of posting the Protocol you used to connect to your printer with your laptop?  I'm have the exact same problem printing from my MB.  Same error message "..is busy".

  • CSS Background Image - Newbie needs help

    Good Afternoon,
    I'm trying to place a background image in the body of my
    page. Pasted below is the code:
    Questions:
    1. When viewed in the browser, only part of the image can be
    viewed, and no vertical scroll bar is available to view the bottom
    portion of it. Is there a setting to toggle such that the entire
    image can be viewed?
    2. As part of the background image, I have text that I want
    to use as hotspots for links to other pages in the site. Do I need
    to place a table or use some other technique to enable use of
    hotspots?
    Thanks from a very Green Newbie.

    Background images will never force scrollbars.

    Yes. You cannot put hotspots on background images. Be aware
    that this is
    the worst (well, publishing a page made in Microsoft
    Word/Publisher is the
    worst) way to make a web page.

  • Crypto newb: Need help with encrypting data for offline Swing app

    Hi all,
    I'm VERY new to cryptography. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I've created a Swing application that is intended to be used offline (no network connections are established by the app). I need to export XML files from this application, to be transported via floppy to another instance of the application on a different computer for import. The information is sensitive and must be encrypted!
    I started looking into AES and using asymmetric ciphers (public/private key encryption). But then I realized that if Jane is exporting a file for Bob to view, she won't have access to Bob's public key (no network access). Ugghh!
    I noticed another solution in this forum where the person suggested using password encryption. It was an old post and I think it used DES. Anyway, password encryption doesn't seem too secure.
    So, I thought I'd create a symmetic key (correct term?) once, store it in the program directory, and distribute it with the application installer. That way, everyone would have the same key and would be able to encrypt/decrypt each others files. Right? Err... I'm not sure.
    Like I said, I'm a newb at crypto. If someone could suggest the best/most secure way to accomplish this, I would be eternally grateful.
    PLEASE HELP!!! :-D
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, Grant. I must've posted that last one just
    after your response. I was intending the message to
    be for Anand. Heh - you have no idea how many times I've done the same thing. It's an artifact of the asynchronous nature of message boards.
    Your response is very helpful. Out of
    curiosity, does my last post provide any more insight
    that would change your mind? Or do you still believe
    that using password encryption and letting the user
    choose/provide the password is the best solution?Well, as you noted, giving everyone two sets of keypairs is semantically equivalent to giving everyone a single symmetric key. And, as I've noted, it's completely INsecure - everyone who gets access to an install disk, either legitimately or no, can read every transmission your app makes forever after. Cryptographically speaking, this is Not A Good Thing.
    The advantage of PBE is that it's easy for your users to exchange keys when their machines can't see each other. The real key here is that your app, if you really want it to be secure, MUST allow/require that transmission between Alice and Bob use a different key than that between Alice and Carlos or Bob and Carlos - otherwise, if Eve compromises any user of your software, ALL users are compromised.
    I'd go with PBE, just because other alternatives are painful for your end users. You could use generated KeyPairs, for example, if you provide a means for users to exchange public keys. If you display Bob's public key in encoded, String-able form, then Bob can either email that to Alice or read it off to her over the phone. Into your app Alice loads/types in that public key, and the app now knows how to secure communications with Bob.
    Public keys are large, though, and people screw them up typing them in. And many users have TERRIBLE key discipline - if Bob loses access to his private key, he can't read anything Alice sends. And if his private key is readable on some public shared folder (which happens with a totally-frightening regularity), then we're back to no security at all.
    Use one of the triple-DES PBE Ciphers, and get on with making your app do what you really want it to do, would be my advice. (Free advice, of course, being worth every penny you pay!)
    Once again, thanks a bunch!Glad to help.
    Grant

  • Need good template for Artist - Must have GOOD instructions

    Hi.
    I'm not a total Newbie, but I'm looking for a nice template for artists. The important thing is that it has really good instructions for customizing it. I'm not totally new, but I don't have the time to learn right now so the instructions need to be really basic. No "assuming" I already know CSS.
    It needs to have the ability to show lots of pictures and blow them up when clicked. I'm willing to pay for it as long as it's doable.
    Thanks.

    I haven't thought about using Wordpress. I know a lot of people use it. Would there be a steep learning curve going that route?
    Any learning curve is subjective. Try it and see if it's a good fit for you.
    Wordpress is widely used by novices and experts alike.
    Actually, I remember now that I did look into it but found that being on a Mac there were some extra steps involved getting started  and I couldn't find explanations or definitions for some of the terms.
    There are no extra steps for a Mac compared to a PC that I'm aware of.
    Ask specific questions about terms and you'll get specific answers.

  • Newb needs help w small office network setup

    Just started a new job at small start-up company that needs their 6-7 macs and a couple of printers networked. I'm just a designer and I'm trying to help but I'm not familiar with osX networking and I hope someone could point me in the right direction. Currently the owner has DSL on all the computers so there is an ethernet cable in each one to a router or hub i believe.
    Currently when I try to connect via Go menu to Connect to server, there is no list. If I type in the name of one of the other computers and try to connect I get:
    "Connection failed. The server may not exist of it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again."
    I don't really know where to start or what questions to ask but I hope having an ethernet cable system already in place is a good thing.
    Your help appreciated

    I'm starting out with 2 computers near me, G4 HOMER
    and G4 MINI. Both are connecting to the net via
    ethernet. Personal File Sharing is ON on both.
    On G4 MINI, I can see G4 HOMER, but when trying to
    connect (Go>Connect to server>G4 HOMER) get
    "ConnectionFailed -Server may not exist or is not
    operational"
    when connecting ot the server try using G4-HOMER.local as the server address.

  • Newbie needs help with MS exchange / MS Push email

    I just got an iPhone 3G a few days ago. Heretofore, all my experience has been with HTC, Motorola and Blackberry phones. As a non-technical person trying to make Pust work through my network is very confusing.
    I read the instructions / bulletins and finally made email and calendar work (sort of). It only works on WiFi and then I have to manually update mail as it does not always Push.
    Does the iPhone Push setup only work with Server 2003 / Push via WiFi? If not, can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to make it work with 3G and no WiFi?
    If possible, please be specific as I am a newbie trying to make this work for my small company.
    If I can't find a solution I'll have to get rid of this and go back to something that works.
    It seems that Apple is making it very difficult to set this phone up for Push application
    Thanks,
    Gary

    The iPhone works fine over cellular. You did mention a certificate - I am going to guess that this may be the issue.
    If you open Safari on the iPhone and connect to your OWA, do you get a warning? When you viewed the cert in IE, is it self-signed? If so you need to get it on the iPhone. The easiest way is to set up gmail or something similar on iPhone and email it to yourself.
    when it come in email your iPhone will immediately recognize it as a file that you can import it. Select it and import it, then you should be able to connect to your Outside Exchange server.

  • Photoshop Elements 7:  Newbie Needs Drop Shadow Help, Please

    Hello.
    I'm brand new to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 and need help with the Drop Shadow feature, please.
    I've read the documentation, but it's not crystal clear to me, so maybe someone can guide me through it.
    I want to create text on a blank white canvas, and add a little bit of drop shadow to it. That's all I want to do--plain and simple.
    I can create the text, but I can't for the life of me find any drop shadow options.
    The documentation I'm using is the on-line, web-based help. I type in Drop Shadow in Search, and select Add Text to a Slide.
    The third step says, "In the Properties palette, set any of the following options" and then offers some options, including Drop Shadow and Drop Shadow Color.
    I'll be darned if I can locate the Properties palette. Obviously, I'm not well-versed with Photoshop, so if anyone can just steer me towards this feature, I'll take things from there.
    I know this is probably rock-bottom basic, but I'm stumped. Thank you!
    J. Danniel

    I need a lot more help with this than I thought.
    The problem I'm having is this: After creating the drop shadow effect, when I try to save the image as a transparent GIF, it quite simply.... looks horrible.
    Here is what I'm doing in detail:
    1. New/Blank File.
    2. Blank File is set to transparent. (Is this the right way to make a transparent GIF?)
    3. Creating text.
    4. Cropping text.
    5. Selecting drop shadow effect.
    Now, here's where I get confused. Do I just select File/Save As, or File/Save For Web?
    When I just use File/Save As, and select the GIF format, the drop shadow effect in the final file looks horrible when I embed the image into a web page. The text looks good, and the file is transparent, but the effect is ugly.
    When I try to use Save for Web, there is a Before/After screen. The Before side looks decent; the After screen looks horrible, too.
    So, now I don't know what to do. Can you or anyone guide me through this a bit further, please? Thank you! Jd

  • Need to Delete Glossary & Add Search

    Hi All,
    After converting my RH7 project to RH8, RH added a Glossary tab (which is empty, by design because we don't use them) and removed the Search tab. I am trying to remove the Glossary tab, but the Delete option is greyed out. I deleted the .glo file from the project folder and reopened the project, but all that did was give the Glossary file a red X. I have searched this forum, but no one else seems to have this problem.
    Can anyone help me permanently delete the Glossary from my project?
    I also can't find how to add back the Search tab. Can anyone help me with that, too?
    (If these are simple tasks, I apologize in advance. I've onlly been using RH for a few months.
    Thank you for your help!!

    Hi again
    Thanks for the info.
    For CHM files you need to edit the Window definition. Click View > Pods > Project Set Up. Expand the Windows pseudo-folder. Double-click the CHM window definition. (The WebHelp definition will have a small globe in the center of the icon)
    Ensure the Glossary check box is cleared in the lower left area of the dialog.

  • Video newbie needs help with multicam editing

    Hi all,
    My video editing experience is limited to a few iMovie projects, which you can view on YT (search for TheChampsTube).  For our final gig we did a 3 camera shoot, which was supposed to be produced by the videographer.  But he dropped the ball, and now I have the files - a motley assortment of m2t, mp4, xml and sfk - I'm converting with Handbrake.  My ancient iMac can't run FCP X so that's out. Also, I'm on a low budget, and will probably only need the software for this one project.  Can someone recommend an inexpensive way for me to get this footage assembled? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You could try this technique.
    Or borrow a friend's Mac that supports FCP X and download the trial.
    Good luck.

  • JS:CS3 Newbie needs help! find/change character styles

    I'm new to scripting and JavaScript is giving me a headache, but I'll keep trying. What I'm trying to do is automate a few things so that the production time of our school newspaper is reduced while insuring accuracy.
    I've played around a little with the text find change sample and the changing or adding paragraph styles in the InDesignCS3_ScriptingGuide_JS.pdf and I barely understand what I'm doing.
    When us page designers receive text to place in the document, our editors mark the text with tags like: < b >text< / b >, where the word "text" is to be bolded. (there wouldn't any spaces between < and b and > etc. I just did that so It'll show up here). We have basic character styles and paragraph styles set up, and we just started working with nested styles.
    Is there a way we can search for the < b > tag and bold everything after it up until the < / b > tag? Sort of the way it does for html (the way it would do for this message if I took out the spaces). It'll be great if it could remove the tags as well, but if not, I know I could create a find/change script to do the removal afterwards.
    I appreciate any input.
    Thanks!

    You've not found yourself the easiest of tasks! You need GREP find/replace, not text. Do you have any experience with GREP? It's worth investigating, it's a powerful feature. The script below handles bold. For clarity, it doesn't do any error checking: it assumes that there's a document with text in it and that the document contains a character style called 'bold'.
    // talk to Indesign, nobody else
    #target indesign
    // reset the Find/Change dialog
    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    // find everything between <b> and  (including these codes)
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '<b>.+?</b>';
    // add 'bold' style
    app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = 'bold';
    // make the changes
    app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
    // now delete the <b> and </b> codes
    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '</?b>';
    app.changeGrep();
    You can adapt it easily to handle other codes, and at a later stage you could generalise it so that you needn't repeat whole bunches of code.
    Good luck with your first forays. Again, it's not the easiest of tasks, but it's worth getting to grips with.
