Question about section numbering in InDesign CS3

How do I use section numbering (1-1, 2-1, etc.) throughout a book document? I have a Current Page Number at bottom center of each Master page and want to include the Chapter Number and a hyphen before the Current Page Number. I want to start numbering over with each chapter. Also, I would like to find out how to use a running header of the Chapter name in the Master Pages. Thank you.

There is a distinction between chapter and section numbers. Also, Book can have a special meaning, so let's see if we can clear up some stuff here, first.
Is this a single document which you are dividing into logical chapters by uing sections in Pages panel Numbering and Section Options, or an InDesign Book, which is a collection of individual documents, each of which might be one of your chapters, and each of which might also contain multiple sections. An individual document can contain many sections, each of which may have a prefix and a section marker, both of which are accessible for use in numbering pages, but an individual document can have only one chapter number.

Please Help

Thanks for the additional information, but unfortunately it still leaves me a bit confused. We have only used InDesign CS3 and CS4 with the regular Adobe Paragraph Composer, and it works just fine except for the one font - Adobe Thai. This font works well also except when a tone mark is needed above a punctuation mark - thats the only time we see a problem?
Can you read Thai? Your post confuses me, too. I see that no Thai fonts work correctly in CS4 without the World-Ready Composer turned on. I don't work in Thai very often - my SE Asian script expertise is concentrated in Lao, Cambodian, and Burmese - but I have some sample Thai randomly harvested from the Internet, and a collection of Thai fonts, and none of them work without the World-Ready Composer turned on. Follow the link I posted previously and read about it.
These are all generic MS fonts. I suppose that someone clever w/OpenType might be able to make a font that would render correctly in the normal Paragraph Composer, which is why I asked you to name any font that did work correctly in CS4 without the World-Ready Composer. I would like to know about it.
Even with the World-Ready Composer, I'm not willing to say that the Thai is being rendered well - I don't read Thai, so I am not suited to make judgments on good typography, but the Paragraph Composer examples above are obviously less correct than the World-Ready Composer examples.
I'm not even going to talk about CS3. Try this experiment yourself and post a screenshot.

Question about Offset printing from Indesign

Hello everyone, I have a question about printing too a DPX rip platemaker from Indesign. When I print my file to the rip, it seems to bold the text when it should not be bold, I do not know if this is an Indesign or rip error, but if anyone has a solution I would be grateful for any assistance.
I dont know if it's necessary, but the OS with Indesign is Mac OSX, printing to a ripmate on Windows 2000.

Have you applied an outline to the text?
Try unoutlined text
Is the text near an effect like drop shadow or other filter?
Move the text to top layer or above any effects.
Is it just this file or any file?
Need to figure out if it's just this job or all of them or at least let us know.
Have you got the fonts installed at the RIP end, perhaps it's rasterising text that the RIP has not got the font?
You could try exporting to PDF first, that would embed the fonts in the PDF.
Let us know if any of this helps?

Question about spool numbers

Hello all,
I'm trying to understand something about spool numbers.
On CCMS > Spool System > System Wide > Spool > SpoolNumbers > UsedNumbers, I can see 33%.
I guess this means that my spool is full at 33%.
When I check through SP01, I can see that I have around 20 000 spools.
My SPO_NUM is set à 32000, so my spool is full at more than 50%.
Could you please tell me where I'm wrong ? 33%, 50% ?
Thank you,
Regards,

Question about section tracking .

Hi everyone,
I've been searching for a while both in this forum and the Web about this matter, but I wasn't able to find an answer... So sorry if this question has already been solved.
I am developing a JSP/Servlet web site (that will be the home of an investigation project) and I need to keep track of the Section of the site where the user is.
For example, at the moment whe are at Developers Home > Developer Forums > Java Forums > Enterprise & Distributed Computing > Web Applications > JavaServer Pages (JSP) and JSTL >
I can't figure out how to do this using JSP/Beans/Listeners... Could you please suggest me a way of doing it?
Thanks in advance,
Dominguez Illobre

It is very hard via a web interface to keep constant track of a user.
They can use the back button to "get out of synch" or even just type a new URL into the address bar directly.
There isn't a generic solution as far as I am aware.
Probably the easiest way is to have an application level map, that for each user stores the "section" of the last request that they made.
Would that suffice? Probably you could do it with a servlet filter, so it would run on every single request.
What is it you are trying to accomplish?

Question about Creating Buttons in InDesign CS5

Now that InDesign CS5 has what I hope to find is a fairly robust interactive workspace, I've begun building a portfolio web site using the program.
But I'm having trouble understanding how to create a text "next" button that has
1.) a rollover state where "next" becomes bold and black
2.) has an action associated with it that takes the viewer to the next state.
In other words, once clicked, the "next" button should take the viewer from seeing the image of a brochure cover to an image of an inside spread.
Any tips on how the Appearance section works in the Button palette, or where to go to find out?
Should I be creating separate text "next" buttons for the Normal, Rollover and On Click states? And should these be sitting on different Layers?
Maybe it's a combination of working with Animation, Buttons and Object States?
It's sort of complex...
I reviewed the "InDesign CS5 New Features" tutorial on lynda.com, which was great and gives some examples, but doesn't address my exact problem.
Anyone working with this kind of scenario?
Thanks, Steve

Never mind. I figured it out. I can't believe how poorly designed this entire Adobe site function.
Amazing...the screen says "Welcome sssttteeevvveee" in the top left corner, which, of course makes you think you're logged in, right?
But no. You need to click on the login/register link under the black Forums box...like, why?
Note to Adobe. TIme for a little rethink here.

Question about Online Numbers

Hello I have a big question before purchasing my online number:
I live in Toronto, Canada and my family is in Argentina.
Online numbers are not available for these 2 countries.
my question is:
Can i purchase an US online number for my family to call from argentina and pay international rate (as if calling to US)?
or Does this only work if the people are calling to a local number?
They want to be in touch with me and they dont care if they have to pay as international call. Thank you

I think this was answered in another thread earlier today:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Online-Number/Why-online-numbers-are-available-just-for-a-few-countrie...
Getting an Online Number closer to your family in Argentina, like a number from Chile, may be a good option for cheaper international calling from Argentina compared to calling a US number. Or get them to use Skype.
Good luck!

Question about Illustrator links in Indesign

Hello all,
I recently had a job from a customer that contained many links of company logos in which the fonts weren't outlined.
As I understand it, fonts from IL links are not collected when using the package function in Indesign....is this correct?
I didn't have most of the fonts for the Illustrator links, so they were substituted when I open them in Illustrator, however when I open the Indesign document and link the Illustrator links, they appear correctly.
When I open the links panel in Indesign, it shows the format of these .ai files as adobe PDF not .ai(or .eps as several of the links are).
What is happening here?
Is it safe to ignore all the font warnings and just link them in indesign?
Thanks, Bill

I am going to do some testing on some trial files on my end.
Part of the problem stems from my client not using Suitcase or equivalent for font management. She has all the fonts needed in font book.
I don’t see how that is relevant. Font Book can install and activate/deactivate fonts as well as any other program. It’s just not built with an interface that is suitable for large libraries or frequent installation/activation/deactivation.
This job has about 15 company logos in it, most of which contain several fonts. When the client packages the job, she probably isn't even aware that the fonts from the illustrator files are not being collected.
Most logos have no fonts, and I suggest you do the same with yours. Convert the text in the logo to outlines and use that. Keep a master file with the text for further editing. I have worked at large design agencies where we keep a library of hundreds of fonts for clients and event sponsors. All type is outlined.
For this job, I was searching for the logos online from the individual company websites to assure the logos appeared correct
That is a good idea in theory, but finding the companys’ official approved logo files online is usually a wild goose chase. You can also try to contact someone at the company to see it they will provide you with a logo file, but that works about as often as Bullwinkle pulling a rabbit out of a hat.
My trick: search the website for PDF files. For abcd.com, I would google +site:abdc.com +filetype:pdf and look for vector logos in brochures, product sheets, or documentation. For larger companies, look for Investor Relations and download annual reports or quarterly reports. You may get the logo, possibly in black only or RGB instead of CMYK, so the colour might be off. You also won’t get a GSM (graphic standards manual), which explains guidelines for sizing, positioning, background colours, and spacing requirements.

Question about file previewing in Bridge CS3

Does anyone know if it's possible to preview a Corel Painter file in Bridge? I'm running CS3 Bridge on a Windows XP machine. Currently, each Painter file is represented by the program's default icon. I'd love to actually see a real preview of each file!
Thanks!

The files I'm referring to end in the extension .RIF
If it's not possible with the standard Bridge program, does anyone know of an addon that would allow this to work?
When in Correl Paint use "save as" to save as jpeg or some other format supported in PhotoShop. That is easier than trying to convert it outside of the program.
You can keep the original .rif file in case you want to go back and work on it.

Questions about AS2 Tree Component (Flash CS3)

I have Flash application with a Tree component on the Stage. I'm using an XML file to create the structure of the Tree component.
Each entry on my XML has the attributes id, label, heading, desc, and icon.
My problem is that I can't seem to be able to set the Tree to default with the first node open.
My code is:
var xmlTreeData:XML = new XML();
xmlTreeData.onLoad = function() {
mTree.dataProvider = this.firstChild;
xmlTreeData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlTreeData.load("xml/treeValues1.xml");
mTree.setStyle("fontSize","11");
mTree.setStyle("selectionColor","0xE0E0E0");
mTree.setStyle("useRollOver",false);
mTree.setIsOpen(mTree.getTreeNodeAt(0), true);
My tree populates fine, and the handler I retrieve whatever item is clicked works great. However, the tree refuses to default to having that first node open.
I'm also interested in placing custom icons into certain nodes via the icon attribute I've set in the XML, but that will have to come later I guess.

I've never used the Tree component, so I'm just guessing here....
There is a slight delay before the xml file loads and your tree has its data provider.
Perhaps during that time there is no node at mTree.getTreeNodeAt(0) to open? Try adding this just before the last line of your code:
trace("the node is: "+mTree.getTreeNodeAt(0));
What do you get?
You might need to move that code inside the xml's load event handler.
Another thing is that the Flash components tend to work on an invalidate-then-wait-one-frame-to-redraw kind of model. So it is possible you will need to wait one frame after the xml has loaded and then tell it to open that node.
The doLater method might help with that.
var home:MovieClip=this;
var xmlTreeData:XML = new XML();
xmlTreeData.onLoad = function() {
mTree.dataProvider = this.firstChild;
mTree.doLater(home,"delay");
xmlTreeData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlTreeData.load("xml/treeValues1.xml");
mTree.setStyle("fontSize","11");
mTree.setStyle("selectionColor","0xE0E0E0");
mTree.setStyle("useRollOver",false);
function delay(){

Question about serial numbers/authorization

Hi there. I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new computer. I installed it on one computer already, but I erased the operating system and sold this computer. Then I tried to install it on another computer, but unfortunately the operating system was too old to be compatible with Photoshop. Because it didn't work, I unfortunately just erased the program from this computer without uninstalling it. Now that I want to install Photoshop Elements on my new computer, it won't let me, as I've already installed it two times and need to uninstall it on one computer. But unfortunately, for the reasons I just gave, this is not possible. Can you please help? Thanks!!!

InDesign CS3 - Vanilla Install - Question Marks All Over My Content

Yes, I'm still using InDesign CS3 on my MacBook Pro from 5 years ago. CS3 has worked like a charm and I've never had a problem with any files until this morning.
I've got a 120 page book, each page with images and text boxes, none of which are threaded. I opened my file this morning and all my content boxes: images and text have question marks on the top left corner.
I have no plug-ins. The installation is straight out of the box with the occasional updates, which stopped quite awhile ago.
The error that pops up when I place the cursor in a text box is: "31-40-TasksAssemble-Instal.incx" cannot be located. Another error is: "31-40 TasksDirectly supe-1.incx cannot be located. I have no idea what these mean and when I did a Google search there were only 3 returns and they were from what appeared to be software pirate sites. I can't find a reference to this on the Adobe forums either.
I've saved under a different name, different file type and replaced the preferences, all to no avail. I think the application is behaving as though I've "checked out" the content, but I don't share my files with anyone and the file itself isn't on a network - there is nowhere to check out to, and the commands to check in is grayed out so I can't reverse the behavior.
I'm stumped and I have a deadline! Can anyone help??
thank you!

No one has worked on or had access to this file but me. I'm on a network but I'm a Mac in a PC world and no one would even know how to find my hd, let alone do anything on it.
I have to believe it is related to my moving my entire project folder to an external hd (not just the file as I mentioned before) as a means of backup. I don't know why it would matter or what it could have done unless there are files created in the Library that are somehow related/linked to the stories.
I'm still searching the Adobe Forums for something related but all ID/IC related discussions relate to people actually using IC!
I've unlinked all of my content from IC and now I'll have to see what happens.
[POSTSCRIPT]
I've been editing my layout most of the day and so far so good.
The oddity of each box asking for a link to InCopy, which has never been used, happened only after I dragged my project folder to an external hard drive as a precautionary backup. All InDesign files in both original and backup folder suffered this problem. I didn't dare open any other ID files for fear of corrupting them so I can't say how widespread this problem would have been.
I do not know why making a copy of a folder would have created this problem and I can't find any discussion thread that talks about it, much less sheds any light on the subject.
After unlinking all of the boxes from their non-existent "host file" the boxes remained intact complete with images and formatting. I saved often!
