Trial InDesign, Page jumps around.

I just recently got a new iMac, 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  Upgraded from 8-year old Tiger 10.4.11.
Also was using InDesign 2.0.  Everythings is so different, but then in computers, 8-years is ancient history!
Anyway, trying Trial Version of CS 5.5.  Imports old files well, but I have a problem with the page jumping around
alot when I use the mouse to select, especially when using the 'text' tool.  Is this a function of the Trial, something
that just happens with CS 5.5, something to do with setting/preferences, or somethings else.  It's very frustrating,
and I would hate to buy CS 5.5 and not have it work smoothly.
Thanks, Don

It's amazing how 24 hrs. clears the head.  I found "Preferences, Live Screen Drawing."  Set to "Never."  Seems to have work and resolved the problem of the jiggles or ADS.  Now it only does it when I clickoutside the page, which I gues is normal.  Before change, jumped aroundalot when clicked within page.  Thanks a zillion!

  • Page jumps around in indesign

    Downloaded the trial version of indesign CS5. OSX 10.6.3, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB, 1067 MHz RAM, 1 TB HD.
    Working on a doc and page seems to jump around inexplicably on its own. May be some preference I need to set correctly or some other minor glitch but it is extremely annoying. Possibly Mouse related? Have no idea but need to resolve this issue before purchase.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is likely due to the Live Screen Drawing option in Preferences being set to Immediate - the default - rather than Delayed.

  • Indesign page jumps unpredictably

    When editing text on an InDesign page, my entire page block jumps erratically to one side or off the visible window.
    There doesn't seem to be any consistent action making this happen. ID is the only editing software in which this occurs.

    Is that happening on every document?
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
    Or just that document?

    It could be a bit of both - so try both options.

  • My macbook pro screen page jumps around without touching the touch pad

    When I am on Mail or my Firefox Browser the screen keeps jumping forward, back or to another site without my touching the trackpad. (Macbook Pro 2014.  At first I thought it was the Firefox Browser, but it also happens on "mail" (verizon.com).  This instability of the screen has rendered my computer little better than useless.

  • Text jumping around in InDesign CS5 attributed to Magic Mouse!

    I am a long time user of Adobe software (beginning with PageMaker) and have been using InDesign CS5 since shortly after it came out.
    Most of my work involves display ads and catalogues for sporting goods stores, so there is a 'ton' of image and text manipulation.
    About 6 weeks ago I started having this problem with text and images jumping around.  It was horrible!
    Anyway, long story short…it was my 'new' Magic Mouse which I purchased the end of Sept.  I went back to using my original wireless mouse and 'no more problems'!
    I went through a very long, drawn out process to get to the bottom of the problem.  Anyone experiencing this problem and using a Magic Mouse you might want to try going back to an older mouse.
    Good Luck!

    Thanks but this has been a known problem for a long long time.

  • Source code jumps around when re-opening page?

    Is the following a common problem with Dreamwver CS4 Source Code view?
    In an effort to make the code read nice and neat, like everyone else I try to indent and nest my code. For example:
    <div>
              <ul>
                        <li>one</li>
                        <li>one</li>
                        <li>one</li>
              </ul>
    </div>
    But, upon saving a file and then later reopening it, I notice that in places the file does not keep my intended spaced nested layout i.e. the code jumps around on a line and I lose my neat indent spacing. For example:
    <div>
              <ul>
          <li>one</li>
                        <li>one</li>
                        <li>one</li>
                 </ul>
    </div>
    I have tried to set my preferences > code format > tab size to 10 to produce a larger indent which has improved the problem a little but not fixed it.
    Others must have experienced this frustrating problem.
    Is there anything I can do to fix it, like set further preferences to give me complete control over the page?
    Thanks in advance.

    Oh can it? I will look into this thanks Ken.
    With regards the CSS, I found out about it on Lynda.com training videos.
    - Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS Essential Training > Chapter 13: Testing and Deploying CSS > Formatting code for deployment
    The process is as follows:
    On Dreamweaver CS4 click Edit > Preferences > Code Format > CSS (button)
    On the CSS Source Format Options screen, de-select the "Each property on a seperate line" check box and click "OK" and then "OK".
    Then on your CSS page, in the left side panel, click "Format Source Code" and the "Apply Source Formatting" selection.
    The code will then condense for deployment.
    You can reverse the process just as easily going backwards.
    If anyone else has any ideas on code jumping around on a line please do let me know. Thanks.

  • The screen on my i-pad 1 jumps around uncontrollably from page to page, how do I fix this?

    the screen on my iPad 1 jumps around uncontrollably from page to page.How do I fix this?

    Have you tried rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You may want to consider restoring the iOS software on the device, if rebooting doesn't help.

  • InDesign CS6 issue with type jumping around...

    I am pretty proficient with InDesign. I have a newsletter filled with copy. Some of the type is jumping around as though there is a runaround on an something behind it, but there is not. I noticed that if I change the paragraph style from "Basic Paragraph" to "No Paragraph Style" the problem of jumping text goes away, but I have to reformat all of my copy. I built this file myself but it gets passed around to different art directors all the time. I never set up any paragraph styles. Every time I fix it, someone else complains that the text won't stay where they put it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a free moment to finally put an end to this ongoing problem! Thanks!

    @Brooklynmc – some screenshots showing the problem would really help.
    Before doing these just make sure that you switched off Overprint Preview and switched ON "Show Baseline Grid", "Show Hidden Text" together with "Show Edges"… "Show Guides" would help as well.

  • Cursor/layout jumps around page as I am working

    The page is jumping around hereky jerky and I can't figure out why. I might me moving something ususally. Sometimes it happen when chaging pages or placing an item. It's crazy and a total time waster.

    Sorry, I'm a Windows guy, so I can't suggest anything more sophisticated than clearing caches and repairing permissions, which probably won't help. It most likely is something on your Mac, that is conflicting, not a problem with ID itself, based on the lack of other reports. Try disabling any third-party plugins or font manager, if installed.

  • My pointer is out of control. Jumps around the page and opens windows ands apps at random. How can I fix this?

    Help. My pointer is out of control. It hardly responds to the trackpad. Instead it jumps around the screen on its own, opening windoes and app at random.
    At wits end. Any advice?

    Try a PRAM reset, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US and if that does not help take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run their diagnostics.

  • Envy 15 synaptics touchpad results in cursor jumping around page

    Product Number: A9P60UA#ABA   Envy 15 Notebook PC
    OS = Windows 7
    When typing (either email or word document), the cursor jumps around, inserting characters randomly.  This has been a problem since I received the computer.  The issue seems to be resolved if I disable the touchpad.

    Please try reinstall the touchpad driver. or try the latest touchpad driver from hp.com which can help fix the issue.
    Good luck !!!

  • Does anyone have an issue with the adobe files jumping around?

    I recently purchased a new Mac Pro running Mountain Lion and installed the latest CS6 upgrade. I've been working with with for a few weeks and notice that while I'm in adobe files (mostely InDesign) the pages will jump around or scroll without prompted.  If I zoom in to a specific image on a page, it will jump to a different page in the document.  I've noticed it with Acrobat also. Not so much with Photoshop, Dreamweaver or Illustrator.  Has anyone else experienced the same? Any advice?
    I'm not sure if it's truly adobe related, my magic mouse or the new OS?

    This seems to be a generic problem not only with InDesign but with many of the Creative Suite/Creative Cloud apps, namely the ones with large pasteboards surrounding the working area. I would very much like Adobe to implement a preference opportunity to disable Magic Mouse finger scrolling locally in these apps. IMHO, moving the pasteboard around is best done with space+click.
    It would be great if there were some kind of product enhancement tip link on Adobe's website, but I haven't found any.

  • How does one best make a button to jump around a PDF (interactive) on an ipad.

    I have been trying to figure out how to make an Interactive PDF document that could be loaded into an iPad.
    We need one: Buttons to jump around the document for navigation purposes.  A button would be eaiser to press on an iPad and if each page is designed the same people will know where "main menu" and the subsection buttons are and should be able to bounch back and forth in the document pretty easily.
    It seems that with Indesign CS5 you can make goto buttons but when you try and export them... Acrobat will not honor the goto commands so your left for dead.
    Yes it will work nicely with export to SWF and work marviously with a flash output but there's no way to look at flash content on the iPad.
    So I've found stuff on the web talking about bookmarks and text anchors but it seems like there are limitations with that as well.
    What confuses me further is when 3rd party PDF viewers claim they can use goto page number.
    http://www.appligent.com/talkingpdf-pdfontheiphone
    see the discription for GoodReader. (it has and ipad version)
    So is this an indesign issue?  An Acrobat 9 pro issue?  I don't get it.
    It seems so simple.  Just want to button that would take you to say page 1.  and on page 1 have a button that takes you to page 4.
    Does someone have any advise on how to create a PDF that could do this?
    SWF is very cool.  But unfortunatly Steve J's personal vendettia with Flash is making it hell for simple users....

    woodwing seems to have a nice toolset to make it easier for sure... but I'm not sure that is the correct direction for
    us.  As we don't want to have to submit anything to Apple.  Our needs are for internal use only and we would not be creating content for the public.
    I don't follow the ePup process fully...  PDF's we can load right onto the iPad.  It's a real shame about flash not working as we can make some very slick flash content right out of indesign with little effort.  (maybe the direction should be a Flash to HTML5 converter?  Goto page commands assigned to buttons would be wonderfull if they worked but when you export the doc to PDF Acrobat complains that it is not compatible.  When we export to flash it works like a charm on a PC.
    Haven't found a good gudie for bookmarks yet... and if that would give us buttons on each page to move the user back and forth through the document.
