Unable to Insert Footnote in Indesign CS3

We are using InDesign CS3 and that file has lot of footnotes. InDesign CS3 quits automatically when we click the option "Insert Footnote" in Indesign CS3. Not even insert one footnote on this chapter.
Insert Footnote option will work in New document, but the same option doesn't work in the actual InDesign document. I tried to converted the InDesign file as .INX format and then opened it again in InDesign CS3. Eventhough the Footnote option does not work. Please help me to solve this issue.

Does it quit when you try to insert a footnote *anywhere* in that document? Or just in the one spot where you want the footnote?
I've seen ID react badly (though not quit) to footnotes in certain places, somewhere that causes it to have pagination difficulty, like if adding a footnote would cause a paragraph to break, but that paragraph is not allowed to break.
What happens when you try to insert a footnote in a totally different place?

Insert Date into Indesign CS3 template

I had a script that worked great in CS2 but when I upgraded to CS3 it doesn't work. I posted on here to find the problem with no help so I"m starting from scratch.
Its it possible to insert the date into a template with a script in CS3
Example: SUNDAY, August 24, 2008

Here the script is again... Don't know what to say? it works in CS2
//DESCRIPTION: Use to insert date/time into document.
if (app.documents.length == 0) { exit() }
insertDTs(app.documents[0]);
function insertDTs(aDoc) {
var curPrefs = aDoc.characterStyles[0].extractLabel("dtprefs");
if (curPrefs == "") {
// Doc has no prefs; use saved prefs
curPrefs = getCurPrefs(File(getScriptPath().absoluteURI.replace(/Insert\.jsx/, "Prefs.txt")));
} // end if curPrefs
var prefParts = curPrefs.split("\n");
if (prefParts[2] != "[None]") {
insertIt(aDoc, prefParts[0], prefParts[2]);
if (prefParts[3] != "[None]") {
insertIt(aDoc, prefParts[1], prefParts[3]);

InDesign CS3 crashes when I try to insert a new page

I'm working on a document that is currently 70+ pages in InDesign CS3, and whenever I try to add a new page (regardless of where I try to add the new page at within the document), InDesign crashes. I haven't experienced this issue with any other documents. After not having worked on this document for several days, I was able to insert 2 new pages today before the issue started again. I've done several searches on the Adobe forums, and I haven't come across anyone who seems to experience this same problem. But if anyone has, or has a suggestion for me to try, I would really appreciate it, as this document needs to grow to 100 pages, meaning I really need the ability to insert pages!!
Computer: Mac OS X, 10.5.8, Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5
Software: InDesign CS3
Error Message: InDesign has unexpectedly quit. A crash report has been generated....

Thanks, Peter. The problem still persisted through a new indd file created from an exported inx file though. I was able to work around the issue by setting my document to 100 pages in Document Settings. That added enough extra pages at the end of the document which I can then move to other locations within the document.

[InDesign CS3] Unable to place PICT image on InDesign document.

Hi all,
I am trying to place a PICT type image on InDesign CS3 document but it is being shown disabled in open dialog. And when I drag this image(PICT type) to InDesign document, I am getting an error message "Quick Time and a TIFF (uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture".
Note: This problem is coming on both MAC and Windows.
Thanks in anticipation

When you place content from InDesign, why are you exporting it as JPG?
You can either
save the INDD file and place it directly into InDesign or
export the INDD as PDF/X-4 and place it into InDesign.
This should result in better quality than using JPGs which will be always a loss of crispyness, change of colors, blurry text and loss of quality.

Unable to script InDesign CS3 in Vista

I am trying to script Indesign through VB.NET 2003 on a new Vista machine.
Read other posts about this; I can't even add the Reference to InDesign CS3 in the COM tab 9it is not there). I upgraded to version 5.0.2 with no effect; Vista is at SP 1.
After a lot of searching i Found the Resources for Visual Basic.tlb file; tried to browse to it and reference that way (results in VS 'Reference could not be added' message).
Tried regsvr32 with the .tlb file; Vista says it is probably not a correct COM version.
What to do now, could someone from Adobe help here ?

Not a solution by my problem may be similar. Have hplj4000 printing via home network using Windows xp. New laptop using Vista, cannot intall printer because of missing drivers. I downloaded drivers for vista and it says that I dont have the right driver? This vista sucks...

Can't find insert footnote menu

I am using Windows Indesign CS 3.0.1, and have so far been unable to update beyond that because of problems with Adobe Updater (which many other users seem to have).
I found guidance on this site as to how to insert footnotes in veresion 3.0:
Place the insertion point where you want the footnote reference number to appear.
Choose Type > Insert Footnote.
Type the footnote text.
So I went to the Type menu and could not find an Insert Footnote menu item!
There is nothing in any of the menu sections that refers to inserting a footnote.
Any idea what the problem might be? Is this a feature that is available only to Mac users?

I think you are suffering from version confusion. 3.0.1 was the last build of InDesign CS. Support for inserting footnotes was added in CS2, I believe, and I think you are probably reading help for CS3, which is version 5.

Reinstalling InDesign CS3

I am having problems reinstalling InDesign CS3 on Windows 7 Professional. After an update I was having problems with a couple of my design programs InDesign CS3 and Micromedia Freehand. I have reinstalled Freehand and have tried to reinstall InDesign but am unable. After I start the installation program it is asking to install another disk. This program came with only 1 disk.

You should have three options: Install Pagemaker, supply the serial number from your Pagemaker license, or insert the Pagemaker installer disk at the prompt. The first and last of those may be problematic on a new system, though I have PM 7 installed here on Win 7 pro. Ocassionally the DVD drives on new machines don't seem to like some of the older install disks and either refuse to install or refuse to confirm the media during an upgrade operation.

Creating an index in InDesign CS3 - is there any way to limit where and for what it looks?

I'm creating an index for a 300-page book using InDesign CS3 on both a PC with Windows XP home and a MacPro with OS X Leopard (I take this book back and forth between these two computers). I have created this as a book (.indb) file so I can use the Index panel with the book option checked to include all of the book chapters.
There are two things I was wondering how to do, if they can be done at all.
1 - I want the index to look for entries in the main pages only, not in the master pages.
2 - I'd like to be able to do only attributed text. For example, I'd like the index to find only the word people when it is bold and italic, and not all of the other places it may occur. Can I do this with a style also, paragraph and/or character?
Thanks so much,
Marcy

Read http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WS8721440D-5F68-4fd6-8115-CA3BEDACF001a.html (the online Help on indexes) -- it will probably answer a few questions.
One I do know immediately is your question on "picking up" stuff from master pages and only with formatting. InDesign does not make an index for you -- you have to (oh! manual labor!) mark the words that should appear in the index yourself. So just don't mark them on master pages, or when not bold and/or italic. You might be wondering about that little button "Mark all instances", well, it does what it say, and in your case you do not want to mark all instances.
The Capitalization issue is, AFAICR, somewhere in the Help; and so is your singular/plural stuff. The latter one is easy solved: if you mark a word to be indexed, ID asks you in a friendly dialog how it should be included, and that defaults to the current selected phrase, but you are free to edit the text in that dialog. ID does not mark the word or phrase; it inserts an invisible marker inside the to-be-indexed word that contains all information you enter in the Add Index Entry dialog, and it uses that to determine what page number to add. (That invisible marker is visible with "Show Invisible Characters", and can be cut, pasted and deleted at will -- so to remove a water melon, find the marker, and delete it.)

How can I restore proper PDF exports from InDesign CS3 or CS5 in Snow Leopard?

I had no problems exporting PDFs from InDesign CS3 (on a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 Snow Leopard) until this past weekend, when all the fonts appeared bitmapped or thin and raggedy, and the images lost some color depth and contrast. When I copied the InDesign document to my MacBook Pro laptop, also running 10.6.4, the PDF emerged with its original quality. Calls to Adobe support referred me to documents concerning incompatibilities between InDesign and Snow Leopard. One of these documents was several pages long, but I could not print it from the Adobe website to my HP All-In-One Officejet, because one-third of the document was hidden under a white panel. This makes the document impractical for troubleshooting, because I don't have enough screen real estate (even on a 23-inch display) to keep the document open along with all the pages and dialogue boxes needed for reference. Back to phone and chat support, I was advised to upgrade my Creative Suite Premium CS3 to CS5 ($800!!!) and purchase the latest Acrobat Pro upgrade ($200), with no guarantee that this $1,000 cost would actually solve the problem. I did download the trial version of InDesign CS5, and it did NOT solve the problem. I'm also concerned that the problem did not exist until last weekend. Prior to that, my CS3 and Snow Leopard combination worked just fine. I then checked the forums and was dismayed at the variety of problems associated with PDF files, for which there seems to be no general fix. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of ads I'm supposed to be preparing and emailing as PDF proofs to businesses around the country. I have two books of 120 and 256 pages that need to be submitted to printers in PDF format with all kinds of fonts and image files belonging to my clients. The last time I submitted a book to a printer via email, the job went perfectly. This time, and next, it's obvious I won't be able to send PDFs at all! If that's the case, my 27-year-old directory business will be unable to absorb the expenses necessary to start all over with new computers and software, and I will be out of business. Period. So-- does anyone have a way to fix this? I would surely be grateful.

I'm on a local network, built on Apple's Airport Extreme. but I'm the only computer user on it. I use it for transferring files between the desktop computer (Apple Mac Pro) and laptop (Apple MacBook Pro) and, occasionally, to print from the laptop to a Xerox Phaser printer.
About a year ago, I added an Apple Airport Express to the network, allowing me to play iTunes music from the laptop through a Panasonic BluRay player connected to a home theatre sound system. No problems of this nature appeared with that installation.
About four months ago, we connected a DirecTV satellite receiver system to the D-Link router that carries wired network service from the desktop computer to the Xerox printer. The satellite TV system includes a series of modems that allows DVR recordings to be accessed and played from any of the TVs in the house. (As you would now perceive, I run my publishing business from my home). However, this set-up has been functioning for about four months, and I did not encounter the PDF problem until last weekend.
Now -- about the fonts.
Because of the many ads that I publish from various sponsors, it is possible that different versions of the same fonts have invaded my system. In the "missing font" alerts I get, InDesign frequently is seeking TT or T1 versions, which I replace with Adobe fonts when possible. Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium included a fairly large collection, which it keeps in one folder. The Apple OS also includes a bunch in a separate font management folder; and there are carry-over fonts that came with the business when I acquired it 10 years ago. Some of those fonts may go back 25 years to the book's inception. However, in the past several years, I have generally rebuilt all the ads that appear in my publications, substituting newer versions of fonts. Hence, the preflight program has been able to locate and include all the necessary fonts in the packages that go to the printers.
Once again, I have been able to export good PDF files for all the varieties of ads and books included in my system, until last weekend. One of the documents is built entirely with Helvetica Narrow, for which I have only one version.. Another document consists mainly of Times, and there are 3 or 4 versions of that font in the system; but the version contained in the document has not changed from when it exported properly.
So... I guess the complexities involved in the network and/or fonts could be part of the problem, as you suggest, but golly -- I hope not. The last thing I want to do is disrupt and rebuild the network or font collections. The font situation especially would set back production for months if not years, because so many individual ads and off-site clients would be involved in the process.
I'm sorry if I provided more details than you expected. I didn't mean to take so much of your time.
Thank you.

Converting from Pagemaker 7.0 to Indesign CS3

Lots of questions here I'm afraid, but it would be a massive help if I could get this sorted, and I only have a week or two to do it.
My colleague and I are writing an English language textbook, with separate teacher's guide and student's book. It is currently in Pagemaker but we have had a number of problems with it, including:
1. Some pages will not PDF. Various error messages are given, none of which I understand.
2. On the pages that will PDF, most of the Excel tables become black or grey boxes. They were inserted into the document via Edit>Insert Object but it does not seem possible to link them (doesn't accept OLEs or something). Nor can I Place them due to some unknown error.
3. Some of the objects, esp those pasted in from Word, jump around when PDFfing.
4. Some text and objects move when transferring between computers, messing up the formatting. This may be because my colleague and I have different printers installed, so we can't set it to the same one.
Due to these and other problems, we're thinking of transferring the book to Indesign CS3. However, I have the following problems:
1. When I try to open the Student's Book (SB), it tries to convert it to ID format, but before it opens the whole programme shuts down. There is no message or other indication of what the problem might be. It will open sections of the book when saved as different files, but not the whole thing at once. (The Teacher's Book [TB]) opens fine.)
2. The Excel tables once again become black boxes, like when PDFfing from PM. I know I can redo them either by pasting in and creating table from text (which loses formatting), or by saving the files and Placing them (saves formatting but takes a while to save each file), but there are about 230 such tables and it would take forever.
3. Other objects, such as speech bubbles pasted from Word, some Excel tables and some photos, become very low quality. They stay like this when pdffed.
4. When I open sections of the SB, the text that was in other colours all changes to black. Eventually it will all be in black anyway, but I have highlighted some text in red and blue that I want to come back to later.
In addition to solving those problems, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me:
1. if it's possible to insert multiple pages of another ID file, so that separate documents become one, as in Acrobat. (This would allow my colleague and I to work on different sections of the book at the same time but still end up with one document.) The Place function creates one solid object (if that's the right word), with all separate objects merged, and is low quality like the images/tables mentioned earlier.
2. if it's possible to save the formatting when pasting tables from Excel (and I mean pasting, not importing).
3. if it's possible to create speech bubbles (callouts) in ID. I need loads of them. They don't seem to be in the Shapes section.
4. if it creates problems if you paste stuff in without linking, e.g. speech bubbles and arrows from Word, images from PM, etc. I know it makes the file bigger, but apart from that? Someone said that may be behind the problems we had with PM.
Thanks heaps for any help.

#1. This is the hardest one.
First, just because it shows in Pagemaker, doesn't mean it should show in Indesign. Pagemaker lists all kinds of crap, PPD fonts, system fonts.
Courier (VGA res) is a screen font. ID won't (and shouldn't) list it and you shouldn't want to use it. Courier New is just about impossible to get rid of in Windows XP. You should substitute Courier New for Courier (VGA res).
I can't help much with Lucida Handwriting and Tekton Pro, except to
repeat my usual font advice:
1) Make sure the font is actually installed. Make sure it shows in
Control Panel > Fonts. If it's really there, delete it (make sure you
have a copy of it somewhere other than Fonts), reboot, and reinstall it. Install fonts with File > Install new font. Don't just dump it in the Fonts folder.
2) Make sure ID doesn't already list it. ID doesn't list all fonts
strictly alphabetically. For instance, note that Adobe Caslon shows up in the C section, not the A section. And Lucida Grande shows up at the bottom of the list with the Hebrew fonts. You can have a situation where you have Courier loaded, it shows in ID's font list, but on opening, ID tells you Courier is missing. The lesson here: there's more than one Courier and ID is smart enough to know the difference.
3) Search your hard drive(s) for adobefnt*.lst and delete all of the
found files. Make sure you search hidden and system folders.
4) Delete the stubborn font files and copy them from somewhere good (I think Lucida and Tekton come free with something Microsoft, probably Office). It's rare, but font files can be corrupted, and ID is more picky than most other apps.
5) Check Type > Find Font to see where your missing fonts are used. If they don't show up there, they may be used in a style but the style is not used. Maybe you don't need them at all. Maybe you just have a space or a return formatted in the missing font.

InDesign CS3 vs. Framemaker/Ventura

Has anyone used InDesign CS3 for producing long, text-intensive, books? How does it compare to Framemaker or Ventura? Will InDesign handle multi-page tables, for example? Is it possible to rotate multi-page tables 90 degrees (landscape table on a portrait page) without breaking them? What about footnotes, endnotes, etc.? Comments from users with experience in all three would be most welcome.

bbsydney --
Given your description of your project -- a long, structured book composed of many text files and many images -- I'd think that Ventura would probably work best for you, simply because I just think it's by far the best software package out there for that type of job.
But as a long-time Ventura user -- and big-time Ventura fan -- I'd advise you to use InDesign instead, for the very concerns you've given. I'm not plugged in to the Corel community nearly as much as others, but I haven't heard any glimmer of hope from anyone that Corel plans to do anything with Ventura in the future. A big problem is that Ventura was written using a lot of Draw 10 code, but now that Draw is at version 14, I suspect Corel won't want to expend a lot of resources to completely overhaul Ventura to create a new version for it.
My biggest concern over Ventura's future is exactly what you've mentioned: that it won't be usable at all seven to 10 years down the road when Bill Gates rolls out a new OS. I know several Ventura users who say it runs just fine on Vista, but there's a great deal of doubt as to whether it will run at all on the next OS generations.
I guess it's possible that Adobe will stop producing publishing software in the future, but this seems unlikely given that ID has become such a dominant player. On the other hand, Corel effectively stopped producing publishing software over five years ago.
This is actually why I'm here at all on Adobe's site. I've reached the point where I feel I need to explore other options since I'm uncertain whether Ventura will be a future option for me at all. I have several projects I may not ever move to ID, but I at least want to know what it will take to do so in case I ever need to.
You also asked about FrameMaker, which I also looked at briefly for my projects. I found that even the latest version of it couldn't handle several important tasks I would need it to do for the types of products I publish which, like yours, are research-based and include numerous text files/articles, tables, figures, and images. My understanding is that FrameMaker is primarily used by book publishers who need to be able to pour mainly text into a long, highly structured documents. But my experience with it was that it just couldn't do what I would need it to do in terms of producing complex tables and efficiently laying out magazine spreads, which are the tasks that take up the most of our production time.
I don't think FrameMaker's future is as bleak as Ventura's, but on the other hand Adobe recently released a long-awaited new version of it and apparently it didn't exactly blow its users away with a slew of new capabilities and features. Like Corel, Adobe seems to not be sure what to do with FrameMaker. Unlike Corel, however, Adobe does actually know FrameMaker exists...
Hope this helps.

Can't reinstall InDesign CS3

I was a longtime PageMaker user, and upgraded from PageMaker 6.5 to InDesign CS3 a few years ago. I'm not a designer, so use it mostly for family projects. Last month my computer died and I took it to a computer shop, where they had to wipe it clean (saving files), which required me to reinstall all my software. No problem with anything except the InDesign. Because it was an upgrade, it wants the serial number from my PageMaker, which I discarded not long after I originally upgraded to InDesign. I want to be able to use it (I did pay for it, after all -- even if it isn't the most current version anymore). I "chatted" online with Adobe technical support, but they said they can't help me because it's not a current version. Is there anything I can do to be able to use this program that I paid for? Any help is much appreciated.

I'm sure I registered my PageMaker, but I was using a different email at that time, and I'm unable to log in to Adobe using that email address (and the various passwords I was using way back then). My current profile shows my serial number for my InDesign -- and my registration date in 2008. Maybe I shouldn't have discarded the PageMaker serial number, but still.... they have a record that I legitimately installed it in 2008.
I got an email response after my online "chat" and it didn't even refer back to me and my problem. It didn't even get my name correct! Doesn't make me feel very confident in the level of support... Here's that email, copied and pasted:
Hi Seved,
Thank you for contacting Adobe.
You had contacted us regarding the installation issue with Photoshop Elements 12. Please download the trial version of Photoshop E lements 12 and click on the license this software option and enter teh serial number. Unfortunately chat got disconnected in betwe en the conversation.
For further assistance please feel free to contact us at any point of time.

Photoshop & InDesign CS3 Crashing when Saving to Network

Hi,
Photoshop & InDesign CS3 crashes whenever I try to save a file over the network to a shared computer we are using as a server.
SPECIFICS
I'm running Leopard 10.5.2
- I have tried reinstalling the entire Creative Suite
- I did not reinstall Version Cue
- Tried deleting the com.adobe.mediabrowser.p.ist and Photoshop.plist preferences.
ALSO:
- If I create a new file on my computer and then immediately save it, it usually does not crash on the first save. But after I do a few things to the file and then try to save again, it hangs up.
-I am unable to force quit Photoshop; I have to do a hard reboot.
Adobe tech support believes it is a network problem. If so, what needs to be done to fix the network?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I've heard rumors of the "don't work from the server" thing from our IT department a few times but now I'm seeing it for myself. They are now using this thread as the reason our machines are experiencing so many crashes and errors again. Basically chalking it up to us working off the network is the culprit since they can't find anything else wrong. and since it's not supported by Adobe then were doing it wrong. But none of the workflow solutions we've looked seem faster than just saving to a network. So I'm a bit at a loss...
How are people dealing with the time it takes to copy files from the server to local and back again. How are people integrating this into workflow's where multiple people need to see and work in the same document multiple times a day?
A large part of our workload is sometimes thousand page catalogs, mostly our files are 15-25 meg InDesign files and might get up around 50 megs or so and be linked to as much as 5 gigs of image data in the extreme. I can't imagine how much time that would take to copy and work and then copy back, then if someone else were to copy and work and copy back, etc... It's almost like we'd have to copy each section to one computer and make everyone play musical chairs to come and work on the file when they needed too so we only had to copy it from the server once!
I've done a few catalog covers where the working files sometimes got up over 4 gigs, (and yes with something like this I was working local), but there were days where saving my work back to the server was like 45 minutes, a few times I had issues with the save and I'd be there screwing around for an hour and a half to make sure my work was backed up on the server. I can't imagine having to go through that every time I needed to work on a large Indesgn file that had 4-5 gigs of linked images.
Does everybody really work this way...? Or is there a magic network setup that allows a sane server side workflow? I know my IT people are compotent profesionals, but perhaps they just haven't heard the latest and greatest for Network CS Suite set up???
Personally, every time we get new boxes on our desks everything runs great for 6-8? months and then slowly but surely things get buggy and the next thing you know there's smoke coming out of your Dell. They say they fixed it and replaced the damage but the errors continue...
Anyway, I'm really shocked that working over the server is a no no. Unless you had a very small work group I think this must be a nightmare!!!

XSLT or Scripts (Mac -Indesign CS3)

Good Morning Everybody,
We are planning now to move our Journal (XML) production into Indesign CS3.
I've been successfully (though with limitations, as I am newbie in Indesign) implemented our books productions into Indesign CS2. This has been achieved thru using XSLT and Javascript expertise.
I've fair knowledge of XML features, like xpath, xslt, XSL, XSL:FO and Javascript though I still learning new things when it comes to use Javascripts in Indesign.
Well coming back to my query regarding Journals in Indesign, I am writing a style sheet, which transforms the xml input with all required formatting (paragraph, character styles), data manipulations, successfully inserting the punctuations specially in references, which can imported into INDCS2.
When it comes to informations like "Running Heads", "Journal informations, like volume, print issn, electronic issn" author infos in 2nd page onwards etc etc...In all these cases, I would prefer to use the XSLT (XML contains all these info) instead of scripts, simply because of reason, which I mentioned earlier that I am newbie in using Javascript in Indesign and there are may be some limitations of scripts in Indesign (Although thanks to Adobe for introducing XPath in CS3).
It was pretty easy for me to tackle/automate all these issues in other pagination platform (and the template was generic) using various scripts, XML features etc, but as I said we would also like to transit few of our journals into Indesign CS2/CS3
I've also tried to search the forum for possible answers but not very successfully. Can somebody suggest/guide how we should go about it? I don't mind to using scripts, if it is the best way of handling and developing a generic template. Or may be to look into other plug-ins, languages to make it successful.
Apology for writing such a long details but I thought I should made it clear what I am looking for.
Any help/guidance in this regard will be highly appreciated.
