Pages panel square icon

What does the little square icon mean in my pages panel that is next to some of my spreads?

Probably Transparency.

With the left panel, trying to use the Presets, in the tutorial to the left of the commands there are square icons, for example “Lightroom B & W Presets”. On my program they are arrowheads pointing to the right. When I click on any Preset, it does not work.
Also, Right Panel, Color, White Balance, “As Shot” only has 2 options (auto & custom) vs. tutorial that has 9 options.

You are not supposed to connect a pair of speakers(as in left and right in a stereo pair)to two separate out jacks on the sound card.the place on the card where headphones/speakers with the mini jack goes is the right place.

Page numbers in page panel don't match current page numbers

Hi all,
I have been working with InDesign for a decade now and never had this problem.
I created a document in InDesign CS 5.5, very simple and with consecutive pages, no sections etc.
My page numbers show up correctly on my spreads. BUT, for some reason, the numbers that are shown in the page panel, underneath the page icons, are different. The first page is named "11", followed by 12-17, then the numbers jump to 111, 112 etc. I selected all pages and chose "Numbering and Section Options", setting them all to automatic page numbering, but to no avail.
As I said, the actual page number on the page is unaffected. But this bugs me since I am afraid that the document is somehow messed up.
I am using a simple InDesign document, no book file.
Any idea why this would happen?
Thank you so much!

Thank you - I just found the solution to my problem (after playing around some more), and it turns out to be rather simple. In Numbering & Section Options, the Section Prefix was set to "1" - this field needs to be clear. That's why InDesign would add a 1 to every number.

Can you make each page show a different name in the pages panel?

I would like to be able to name each page with a different name so they display in the pages panel (under the page icon) with a different name for each page rather than just 1, 2, 3 etc. eg. page one called 'Matt', page 2 called 'Satin', page 3 'Gloss. Is this possible?
Thanks

Yes, but it might not work the way you fully intend.
On each page in the "pages" panel, right click and choose 'Numbering & Section Options'.
From the popup, select 'Start Page Numbering At' and add the page number. Eg, Page 1 would be 1, Page 2 would be 2 etc (you need to do this for each page)If you don't want numbers, you can select from their 'Style' dropdown but you must select something
In the 'Section Prefix' box, enter the text you would like displayed - Matt, Satin, Gloss etc
If you want these names to show up in the document as a page number, select 'Include prefix when numbering pages'
The result of this is that each page is now it's own section of the document.

Page Thumbnails not displaying in Pages Panel

Hi all,
Hopefully a quick question...I've searched through the Forum and not spotted a similar issue.
I have a user who is experiencing an unusual issue in InDesign CS6 - Page Thumbnails aren't displaying in the Pages Panel (such that the panel is completely blank - no new page icon etc.), and Swatches aren't displaying in the Swatches Panel (default swatches or new swatches - the panel is completely blank). I've checked all of the Panel Display options, and have toggled the thumbnail display size up/down, and on/off to no avail. This problem is also non-document specific, it's happening on all documents either previously saved or freshly created. I've also tried multiple workspaces and that hasn't helped.
I've also tried binning the preferences and this hasn't helped...
Any thoughts where to start? My hunch is possibly plugins not working/missing, but I'm not sure what/where to check.
Any help would be very much appreciated...

I hate to have to bump an old topic, but replacing my prefs doesn't work either. Tried restarting the computer too. Nothing really works and I hate to have to waste time reinstalling when I doubt that would help at this point. (hates windows).

Thumbnails disappeared in Pages panel in InDesign CS4

The thumbnails that show the page spreads and the master pages have disappeared in the Pages panel of ID CS4 (on Windows XP SP3). I can't figure out (a) what caused them to disappear or, more importantly, (b) how to get them back. In the Panel Options, I have Show Thumbnails checked for both Pages and Masters, and all 3 of the Icons options checked. Any suggestions on how to get them back would be appreciated.

In followup, I tried to reinstalling ID4 -- a painful process. That didn't solve the problem. So I tried unchecking display thumbnails vertically. That worked in that the thumbnails for both masters and pages displayed correctly horizontally. I then rechecked display vertically and they disappeared again.

Indesign CC 2014 crashes when duplicated pages within pages panel

running InDesign CC 2014 - mavericks 10.9.3. If I have content on say page one and within the pages panel I click and drag page one to the new page icon (something I do all the time to duplicate a page and it's content) it crashes InDesign. This is happening when I have copy pasted gradient mesh objects from illustrator to indesign. they paste in just fine, and I can copy paste those objects around, but not the whole page within the page panel

Hello march67,
Thanks for the test file. We could reproduce the crash.
We've identified the reason for the crash in your file. The problematic object is the RSS feed icon at the top right of the spread.
We've determined a fix for the crash and it should be available to all users in one of the upcoming patches. In the meanwhile, to prevent the crash, you could use the following workaround : Cut this object onto the clipboard. Duplicate the spread. Then paste the icon back in its place (Edit > Paste in Place).
Sorry for the trouble.
Thanks,

The 'Ol pages panel bug osx

Do you thin kAdobe will ever get round to fixing the issues with the pages panel?
Output a book to PDF.
Watch now as your pages panel cannot update, constantly flashes and the programme becomes unresponsive with spinning beach balls.
Wonder at how this probelm has been going on for years.
Amaze at the awesomeness of this huge multicorps ability.
Sigh.
To be fair this issue appeared resoved but the latest release brings it back with a vengence. Anyone else seeing this?

I hear what you are saying but 'something on my system' what am I to do? This is an extremley specific issue. Once a book has been exported as PDF back in indesign the pages panel thumbnails are blank and scrolling through the document is nearly impossible until the pages panel is turned off. As the programme is unresponsive you have to click a couple of attempts to close the panel. Restaring fixes until you output another book to pdf.
This was an issue in CS4 as well I seem to recall. Watching the page icons flashing on and off as you tried to scroll through the document.
I just don't know how I would establish what on my system is different from anyone else. Its just a mac running indesign.

Missing pages panel

Please help!
I am working in CS3 InDesign (5.03 updated)and my pages panel is missing. Well missing is not right, it is there but it is empty. All other panels are working OK but pages panel is empty, no master pages, no delete page icon etc.
I have tried deleting InDesign preferences, restarting them, change workspace to default, reseting panels from inside InDesign. Nothing helps, except reinstalling. But after a while problem re appears. My "solution" takes a lot of time and ultimately does not fix the problem.
Anyone has a similar problem and how do you fix it?

Interesting. A better solution to my apparently somewhat related
unrelated problem is reproduced below:

I took that to mean delete all the files in that folder, and it worked
for me (actually my folder structure was a little different, and I moved
the files somewhere else, and then deleted them a week later, when I was
sure everything was still working).
My problem (not being able to copy and paste text out of Indesign into
other apps) was fixed by loading ID under a new account (but it came
back when I went back to my old account). But I didn't want to take the
time to make a new account look like my existing account, so I used the
solution above.
So if this comes back, or if you want to try some voodoo to try and make
sure it doesn't come back, try deleting the files in the above temp folder.

Is there a way to disable drag-and-drop on the pages panel?

Hi, I'm using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP. My computer is a laptop and the problem I'm having is that when I have the pages panel open, I have sometimes drag-and-dropped pages of a document into a new order without meaning to (the laptop touch pad seems made for these butterfingers-type moves). The documents that I'm laying out are several hundred pages long, so sometimes I don't notice that I've screwed a few pages up until much later. If there is any way to just turn this feature off, that would be great. Due to the arrangement in which I usually work best (on a sofa), I would prefer not to have to attach an actual mouse to the laptop. Thank you for any help.

Not that I know of.

No option to Load Master Pages on Pages Panel (Windows)

Hi there.... I'm a longtime user in the Mac platform, but am now doing some smaller projects in a Windows platform. The Load Master Pages is not even listed among the choices when I view the Pages panel using CS6. What doi need to toggle on/off and where is it in order to get this option in the menu list please? Thanks for your help as I'm really at a loss here.

I understood that is where this was being posted, as that was the forum I chose. If not, twas not intentional.

IPad- on Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email. When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing. All the folders are emptied. All mail is either read, trash, or deleted.

iPad- on all Yahoo pages the mail icon with the red number indication shows email. When I tap, it asks me to sign in again. I do. It takes me to yahoo mail but there is nothing.

Ask and you shell receive.....lol
Go to your Gmail account in the browser.
Hit the folder icon that brings up the folder selection.
Scroll down to the bottom and select desktop version.
The broswer will refresh and bring up your gmail account as though you were looking on it on the computer.
The go to the upper right corner and select settings.
Then go to forwarding and pop/imap
Go look at pop download
There you'll find 3 numbered lines
Go to 1. Status
And select enable pop for all mail
Then save the settings
Once you have done that you can go back to BlackBerry device settings and sync your mail or wait for it to sync it's self.
Let me know how it works out.
I just did it and it sync within minutes.

InDesign CS4 page numbering not displaying correctly in Pages Panel

Hello,
I searched the forums for a solution to my problem before posting. I am sorry if I'm doubling someone's question but here I go:
I noticed this problem I have about 6 month ago. When I create a simple document with automatic page numbering everything is fine. When I try and create a section (i.e. I want my numbering to start at 1 at page 3) it actually works however in the Pages Panel the pages are displayed with their basic numbers. You will agree this is rather confusing. I've tryed different files, same files on different computers and so on. The problem has to do with my installation of InDesign CS4 and I suppose it's some kind of a display option I accidentally turned on.
Could someone please suggest a solution? Thank you!

Can someone help me retrieve my pages panel?

My Pages panel has disappeared. It isn't an option to view it at all. I tried trashing the pages panel plugin and replacing it, trashing indesign preferences and restarting (pressing shift/control/option/command while starting indesign) and disabling/enabling the pages panel hyperlink in extensions manager. None of this has worked. Can someone help me? Very frustrated.

Yes, uninstall InDesign, but try the other stuff first. See CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 for info on the clearer tool.

Acrobat Standard - Pages Panel

I am using
- Windows 7 Pro
- Acrobat 9 Standard
I have a lot of new PDF files every day which I need to set - Document Properties - Navigation Tab as "Pages Panel and Page" -
so the acrobat file appears with Pages Panel at Left on open.
I know Acrobat 9 Standard settings for the above must be done individually one by one.
1. Does Acrobat 9 Professional has the option to automatically set "Pages Panel and Page" setting for all PDF files instead of individually.
2. Can I just get the Acrobat 9 Professional UPDGRADE version as I am now using licensed Acrobat 9 Standard ?
Thank you.

Yes, you can set this up with a batch process in Acrobat Pro, but not with Standard. Adobe doesn't sell Acrobat 9 any longer, but you could upgrade to Acrobat 10 Pro.
