Urgent - help with Text direction in InDesign CS4

Hello,
I use InDesign CS4 on Windows 7. It's a standard version (without options for right-to-left languages).
Whenever I make a new text frame, it seems to have a right-to-left "logic" of the text. The text types left to right, but the period in the end would go all the way right.
It also mixes up tabs. It looks like this:
Instead of:
Usually I get around it by pasting another correctly formatted text-frame or text, and it works.
Now I'm trying to create a new document with master frame (in order to be able to easily change the layout successively of a many-paged document), where I need to insert existing (formatted) text. But this text take this "right to left logic", whether I past the text, or even a whole text frame.
I could find nothing in the character/paragraph options to get rid of this.
I would greatly appreciate if you could help me.
with respect,
Jerusalem Nun.

This behaviour is normal. Changing the default property of any style, when no document is open, changes the style for every new document, but not for existing document.
Take a look what is your basic style where all other styles are build up on it, in your case, go to the paragraph style and look what is the basic style which was used.
If the default style was used (it is the one in brackets), you have always a problem. You should not use it in any case.
Because you don't have a ME version of InDesign you can't change direction directly, but you can create a new document with the default settings and the same paragraph (and character, table and cell styles) in a new document without RTL styles. Save this document, no content is required.
Go to the 'infected' document, open the paragraph style panel and in the panel menu take "Load all text styles", select the new document and overwrite with the incoming styles.
If necessary you might repeat it with the Table, Cell, Character and Object Styles, as all of them have some kind of direction settings.
I don't know how good your styles were created, you have to adjust your document. And I would strongly recommend—I repeat—I strongly recommend to work always with styles.

Help with numbering lists in Indesign CS5.5 for epub file

I am working with a book in Indesign CS5.5 to export it as an epub file. I have been working on formatting the text and I have run into a small problem. Throughout the book there are multiple lists within the texts that need to be numbered. Each list, however, must start over at number 1 and not be continued on from the previous list. The lists are all unrelated and I need them to be completely separate. I used "Type", "Bullets and Numbering", then "Apply Numbering" to begin with. This had each list in the correct order. However, I also created a paragraph style with the correct font, size, indentation, and spacing that must be applied to all the lists before exporting. When I do this, everything keeps its correct formatting except that some of the lists continue their numbering from the previous list. For example, on page 1 I might have a list of four things all formatted correctly and number 1 through 4. On page 3, I have another list, of completely unrelated items. I therefore would like this list to be started over at number 1, but when I apply the paragraph style to it, it starts at 5, picking up where the last list left off. I need to keep these as the assigned paragraph style but it messes up the numbering. If anyone could help me figure out how to keep this from happening I would greatly appreciate it!

If you don't mind cracking open the ePub and editing template.css, then adding rules like:
h2 {
page-break-before: always;
should force each paragraph whose style is mapped to an h2 tag on to a new page. Whether or not it works will depend on how good the ePub reader is at implementing CSS. It seems to work for Digital Editions and also Kindle, if you convert ePub to Kindle format.
This doesn't help at all if you are trying to force sections into separate XHTML files, though.

Problem with File Management in InDesign CS4 on Win 7 64-bit Machine

I have Adobe CS4 and just today have encountered a new problem for which I have no solution. When I open InDesign CS4 and choose the Open File menu, and then attempt to change the way the menu diplays items (e.g., Details rather than Small Icons, ec.), the program crashes and I get the "Adobe InDesign CS4 has stopped working" error message. I first encountered this after attempting to open a folder containing InDesign CS file that I need to open and update. In *that* case, the program crashes as soon as I open that folder (from within InDesign). What I have done so far to solve the problem: I tried using Bridge to browse to the problem folder and open the files from there. Bridge does not crash when I open the folder, and I am able to open any file in the folder *from Bridge* into InDesign CS4. However, when I attempt to, for example, export text from the file, while it does not crash when the window (where I get to specify the name of the exported file and change its location [if I wish]) opens, when I attempt to change how the file menu is displayed (cf. my comment above), the program crashes. *However*, if I simply export the file to any folder other than the one the opening of which crashes the program, too, everything is fine. So the problem seems to afflict the one folder, and any attempt, in any folder, to change how the folder's contents are displayed in what amounts to InDesign's use of the Windows file manager function. Any thoughts would be greatly apprecatd.

Dear Peter,
This is me (PottsJazz) under my (foolishly misplaced) original username (potterjazz) here on Adobe Fora. For various reasons, I decided to do a ground-up reinstallation of Windows 7 64-bit and Adobe CS4 and, initially, the ability to specify the way folders are displayed from within InDesign's own File Manager worked as it should. However, at some point as I went along installing all the software packages I use (Office 2010, Firefox, WordPerfect, some file converters, DVD/CD burning software, iTunes, etc.) the problem reemerged. I think it is probably a glitch with Windows 7 64-bit and one of my programs, but it is definitely not CS4's fault. I just have to create folders, specify folder display styles, etc., from outside CS4 and then maneuver within its programs to the folders and file locations from inside. It's a small price to pay for not spending days reinstalling software and testing testing testing. I'll let you know if I ever get a solution.

Maintaining Text Formatting from Indesign CS4 to Illustrator CS4

Hey folks,
I'm trying to transfer copy a section of text with bullets from InDesign CS4 back into Illustrator CS4. When I copy it over to Illustrator, I lose my bullets. I know I could do this in CS3 and maintain the bullets, but the approach I used in CS3 doesn't work for CS4.
Anyone know how to pull this off without me having to go into Illustrator and kluge together some bullets from scratch?
Thanks!
-Dusty.

Thanks for the response Bob.
How do I convert my Indesign bullets to text, or are you saying I need to create them as Wingdings or somesuch and not as actual bullets?
The bullets are the main issue, but my formatted text isn't transferring either. The text I paste from Indesign to Illustrator removes the formatting I had in Indesign (e.g., font-family, size, etc.)
Thanks,
-Dusty.

Need some URGENT help with 3 DVD mastering issues PLEASE! :

Hi there,
Firstly, I am running DVD SP 3.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.7 on a G5 Dual 2 GHz 3Gb Ram plenty of HD space...
I am creating a DVD with: An intro sequence, a main menu, 4 sub menus, and 4 sections with around 12 chapters each.
I am having some big problems, and a pretty stuck. I will lest them separately below, numbered. If you are able to help, please refer clearly to which number you are helping with. Any help is MUCH appreciated! Many thanks!!
1. Each of the 5 menus (1 main, 4 sub) have a background video, and a separate audio track. I added the background videos by simply dragging them to the assests panel, then from there onto the menu editor window. They are created in FCP and are properly encoded. However, when I click the motion button, or use the simulator, the videos do not show up. The music plays, but all i see is plain black.
What is going on?!?!?!
2. I am really struggling with rollover buttons. I have custom created buttons, and I wand them to have a soft red glow around them when hovered over. HOW ON EARTH DO I ACTUALLY DO THIS??
The buttons are in photoshop so can be exported with/without background/glow in any format.
3. Is it possible, once I have got the above rollover working, to have an image to the right hand side of my buttons which changes with the the button rollover. i.e. hover over button 1, see image 1. hover over button 2, image changes to image 2.
PLEASE PLEASE give any help you can, I have a deadline coming up and am quite stumped. Thanks again!!

I am still having problems regarding issue Number 1. PLEASE ANYONE HELP?!
Sorry, I'm not sure about the motion menus. I avoid those whenever possible. But you might click on the menu in the storyline tab (whatever it's called -- the hierarchical view with the disc, tracks, slideshows, etc.) and look at the properties and see if there's anything you have to enable specifically for motion. And be sure the motion button is on on the main display/preview area, but it sounds like you already know how that works.
For your information, here is a screen grab of the menu I am trying to create:
http://www.redhavoc.co.uk/stuff/menu.jpg
I think it is obvious that when a button is hovered over, I want it to glow red, and the image to the right will change to match the respective button.
IS THIS GOING TO BE POSSIBLE????
Yes.
First, your menus have to be layered menus. Unfortunately, there's no way to convert non-layered menus to layered menus, so if you already have non-layered, you'll have to just delete them and create new layered menus. The button (and menu item) to create a layered menu should be right by the normal new-menu item.
Next, the graphical work is all in Photoshop.
Side tip: You may already know this, but I found it's best to use 640x480 for the Photoshop document. When I do text and leave it as a text object in the Photoshop file, it resizes poorly in DVDSP. So this ends up being another 720x480 vs. 640x480 square/rectangular pixel conversion thing. DVDSP plays in the 640x480 world, at least as far as the designer can see. So I keep my images at 640x480, and it doesn't have to resize, and everything looks right.
Moving on... Set up your basic background, the part that won't change (or will have other things covering it, like for your square image).
Then put in all the buttons and images you'll be using, each part in a separate layer. This could have fifteen buttons (you have five buttons, and there can be three versions for each -- inactive, selected, and activated versions) and five or six square images (you said one for each button, and you might want a blank default if, say, you want to add a "back" button on the menu and want some blank or default image for the square when they're on the "back" button).
Sometimes people don't bother with a separate "active" button state, but you usually want some visual feedback that they clicked the button. Also, I usually just build the default (unselected) button into the background; that's less hassle later on, and it will just draw the selected or activated buttons over that when the user is on that button.
Line up all your buttons and images. All the square images lined up perfectly on top of each other, all the buttons in the right places (so you'll have three buttons stacked on top of each other in each spot). Give each layer a short but quickly recognizable name, and line them up in a consistent order. (button1-default, button1-selected, button1-active, button1-squarepicture, then button2-default, ... etc.) Photoshop and DVDSP don't care, but it makes it easier for you later.
Note that earlier versions of DVDSP won't show Photoshop layer effects. (They handle layers, just not the effects, like inner glow, outer bezel, etc.) I don't remember when they changed this, but I think it was version 4.something. So if you're using that method to make your buttons glow, you may have to flatten each selected or active button layer, and you may even need to create a dummy blank layer underneath it first to give it something to flatten onto.
Save the file as a standard Photoshop file (.psd). Drag the file onto your DVDSP layered menu and set it as the background.
Now, in DVDSP, create all your buttons. Just drag boxes over/around the button pictures you have. Feel free to make them extra-big; users won't see the actual area you've selected, and bigger areas makes it easier for people to hit them if they're using a mouse on a computer to watch the DVD. You can point the buttons to their targets now if you want, and set the end jumps on the tracks if you want. (I tend to set the end jumps on the tracks so they automatically select the button for the next track.)
Now's the fun part, since it will actually hook everything up and should be easy if your naming layer order were consistent. Click on the layered menu (in that hierarchical view) and look at the properties window. (Sorry I can't remember the technical names for all these windows; I'm doing this all from memory. So feel free to ask more questions if you can't find what I'm talking about.) One of the properties tabs should have a grid of checkboxes with a list of your layers. Make sure the background is checked for all of the states. Then check the layers you want to show for each button state, as well as the corresponding square image to show for each.
Again, I'm doing this from memory, and I can't remember exactly how things are listed in that grid. But I remember it keeps your layers in the same order you put them in the Photoshop file and shows you those names, so it should make it easy to go down the list and check the right boxes.
And another side tip: You can update the Photoshop file, but once you've put it in DVDSP, if you change the layer order, it will screw up the check boxes you checked. It always shows you the layer names correctly, but it keeps the checkboxes in DVDSP simply assigned to the layer number, so the fifth layer will keep the same checkboxes even if you juggle them so some other layer is now the fifth layer. So if you do juggle the layers in Photoshop, go back and fix the checkbox list in DVDSP.
I put a sample Photoshop file based on yours in
http://dan.black.org/layered-menu-sample.psd
It's quick and dirty, but shows the layer layout, and you should be able to drop it on DVDSP to play with. (I also won't leave it there forever, maybe a few weeks, so anybody reading this in a month or more probably will get a 404 for that url.)
Again, doing this from memory, so feel free to ask if anything doesn't work or doesn't make sense.

thanks,

maybe its a FileReader deal.. Im not sure, maybe try using InputStreams. This code works for me (it reads from data.txt), give it a try and see if it works:
import java.io.*;
public class Example {
     public Example() throws IOException {
          BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("data.txt")));
          String s = "";
          while ((s = b.readLine()) != null) {
               System.out.println(s);
          b.close();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               new Example();
          catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();

Urgent Help with Image Gallery

Hi,
I really need help with an image gallery i have created. Cannot think of a resolution
So....I have a dynamic image gallery that pulls the pics into a movie clip and adds them to the container (slider)
The issue i am having is that when i click on this i am essentially clicking on all the items collectively and i would like to be able to click on each image seperately...
Please see code below
var xml:XML;
var images:Array = new Array();
var totalImages:Number;
var nbDisplayed:Number = 1;
var imagesLoaded:int = 0;
var slideTo:Number = 0;
var imageWidth = 150;
var titles:Array = new Array();
var container_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
slider_mc.addChild(container_mc);
container_mc.mask = slider_mc.mask_mc;
function loadXML(file:String):void{
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(file));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, parseXML);
function parseXML(e:Event):void{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
totalImages = xml.children().length();
loadImages();
function loadImages():void{
for(var i:int = 0; i<totalImages; i++){
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("images/"+String(xml.children()[i].@brand)));
images.push(loader);
//      loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onProgress);
     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete);
function onComplete(e:Event):void{
imagesLoaded++;
if(imagesLoaded == totalImages){
createImages();
function createImages():void{
for(var i:int = 0; i < images.length; i++){
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
bm = Bitmap(images[i].content);
bm.smoothing = true;
bm.x = i*170;
container_mc.addChild(bm);
      var caption:textfile=new textfile();
      caption.x=i*170; // fix text positions (x,y) here
   caption.y=96;
      caption.tf.text=(xml.children()[i].@brandname)
      container_mc.addChild(caption);

yes, sorry i do wish to click on individual images but dont know how to code that
as i mentioned i have 6 images that load into an array and then into a container and i think that maybe the problem is that i have the listener on the container so when i click on any image it gives the same results.
what i would like is have code thats says
if i click on image 1 then do this
if i click on image 2 then do something different
etc
hope that makes sense
thanks for you help!

Urgent help with Pages 5.0 needed

Hi guys,
I need urgent help! I deleted Pages 5.0 (as I HATED it) but now can't open a very important document. Can someone please tell me how to reinstall it??
Thanks
Kellie

Downloading again is not as easy as that. you must find the app in the "Purchased" section of the
app store and I think you then must hold down the option key to reinstall it.
BTW, I only worked with one document as a trial for Pages 5 and then imported it to Word and saved it. I then deleted Pages 5 (I can't believe anyone who works with software would think that piece of worthless junk would sufice for anyone who uses a word processor professionally), reopened the Word document and saved it in Pages 09.
I hope this helps

Urgent Help with Planning Book

Hello Gurus,
Need your help with a very urgent issue. I cannot see my key figure values in my planning book(Interactive Planning). I could sucessfully generate my CVC, then initialised my planning area. Then when I go the interactive planning I can see all my characteristics -Ex Material master( has all values), Prod type has values, etc. Iam in DEV system and have to move the whole config to QA now. I have to validate that the config works in QA. Its works ok in the sandbox but I cannot figureout why I can not see the values for key figs that Iam loading from a Flat File. Please help!!!!!!

Hello Suresh,
I have one more question for you. Let me tell you my scenario. I have the client giving me a rough forecast for the future. I have to do stat forecast based on the history and check that against the initial forecast given by them. But, the problem I realised now is that when I go to my planning books I can see the values for 2008 in mothly buckets since I have 0calmonth. But the client gave me another file with forecast for 2008 in monthly buckets and for 2009 and 2010 in quarter buckets. So, i have a planning buck profile defined to meet that but, how do I upload the file with both 0calmonth and 0calquarter in a single file. Please let me know!! Urgent task.
Thanks again,
Chinna.

Urgent Help with network access to FileOutputStream

URGENT HELP NEEDED GUYS...I am stuck on this past 2 days. I tried several alternatives but to vain.
I am trying to access a Folder on a user's computer which is lying in a different Domain.
For accessing this folder, I have the following information with me.
Domain name, PC name, folder name, windows username, windows password.
Note: This username and password will give me rights to read + write to that folder.
How to use these information to open a fileoutputstream ? Does the java.io package allow programs to pass a username, password , domainname, pcname and then the folder and filename to create/read/write files..
Pls. suggest code examples. Sometime back I posted this query but didnt get an answer to my satisfaction. I have tried at my end but unsuccessful yet. Help would be appreciated.
I am trying this on a Windows File System and Network domain
THIS IS V. URGENT
Thanks,

Hi HJK,
I am referring to the last reply of yours.
" Hi, there are three approaches I can think of offhand:
1) make sure the user-context under which you run the java app has the right to access the remote drive.
2) Do the network connection in a batch or c program and call that at the start of your java app with Runtime#exec.
3) Write some c/c++ code to open the connection and integrate that via JNI.
Let me know what (other) solution you came up with in the end!
Regarding the 1st.
I am supposed to write a remote installation utility actually. There are around 200 PC(s) in a network on which I need to copy these java class files. My problem statement is such that at runtime I only have username, passwords, domain access. I am not supposed to map any drives. Its supposed to be done dynamically. No manual intervention required. :(
How do I do the network connection in a batch mode ? Let me know that?
If 2nd option can be done, probably I can think of action-3 at the moment I am quite blurr :(

Need urgent help with HSDIO hardware timing

Hi everyone,
I need urgent help regarding HSDIO hardware timing. I've been working in a project which generating serial ramp using HSDIO pxie device.
I'm using clock rate 40MHz and generating 14 bit of boolean for each step of ramp. And I have to generate simply 256 steps ramp.
Which means, 256 (steps) x 14 (boolean array) x 25 ns (period of 1 boolean value) = 89,6 ns.
What I'm doing right now is with using index of FOR loop as my input data (converting the index into 14bit boolean), then write into pxie device in every iteration,
which means, my data is getting into output in every 1ms time, right? (I'm using windows)
And I want to be able to generate faster than that.
How can I prewrite my 256 steps ramp, then write them all at once into pxie device. I'm really stuck here.
In the picture can you see how I do the write into device in every iteration of FOR Loop.
Regards,
Yan.

hi, thanks for responding.
with using example of dynamic generation with script, I can manage to generate the ramp with controllable delay (generate the whole waveform, including delay with script command, then write to the card).
But I still have 1 question, I can test the output of the generation using oscilloscope and cant see the start delay (I'm writing delay at the start, before generating the ramp). My signal generated at 0 sec.
How can I check this start delay? is there any good example delivered with Labview to check this generation? Somehow I cant use the "dynamic generation and acquisition" example to see my generation (cant figure out how to capture the generated signal).
regards,
Yan.

F4 Help with text table in WD abap

Hi,
i am using country related input help with check table T005 in one of table and i want to display the country text along with country id in my table, f4 for country is coming however if i select country from f4 it showing country id in the input field of table.
i want to have country text also in one of my input fields in the table, i have seen f4 help works if we have explicit search help and using parameter assignment we can have id and text defaulted if we use same context for id and text fields, however in this case country table t005 has check table t005 where texts are stored in text table t005t so web dynpro abap is't picking up the texts??
please suggest how can i get the texts as soon as i select country in the f4??

Hi Kranthi,
You merely have to have an internal table storing list of countries, which you only need to do once, e.g. on load of application (method WDDOINIT of COMPONENTCONTROLLER). In your view, you have to declare a method for event onEnter of the input field, but this method doesn't have to have any code. Your code will be in method WDDOBEFOREACTION, where you read get country name from country key. Once you've got country name, transfer value to a context attribute to which you've already mapped as a source for attribute value of the UI element.

Problems with 'Print Booklet' from InDesign CS4

I am having problems using the 'Print Booklet commane in InDesign CS4. I have done this 100s of time from CS3 with no problems but for some reason it just won't auto duplex (print on both sides of the paper) when I do it from CS4. USing exactly the same settings, computer and file. The printer is setup correctly as will print double-sided automatically from other apps. Using mac leopard. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, I have tried this. I choose 'layout' from the printer option within the driver and pick 'short edged binding'. Still no luck.

Need urgent help with Ifs1.1 on Solaris

We have installed IFS 1.1 with Oracle 8.1.7 on a three tier System (two Suns). We use JWS as WebServer. When we start IFS and JWS everything seems to work fine. But after some time (irregulary) we are not able to contact the JSP-Sites via a bowser. After restarting JWS, everything works fine for some time.
Sometimes it happens (about one times a day), that the whole JWS crashes (JWS-Admin doesn't work). So we have to restart the whole IFS.
What can be the problem? We need urgent help, because the deadline for our project is Wednesday.
By the way:
Where do I have to start CTX on the IFS- or the Oracle-Side?

Yes, we tried the Oracle HTTP - Server, but we weren4t able to get it to work. We didn4t get our JSP-Files to work with it. But that is another issue. I think it4s not a problem of JWS, but IFS.
Additionally it is strange, that we are still able to connect to the database via SqlPlus.
IFS works fine for about 15 minutes, than it crashes, nothing works anymore. We found following errors in the IfsAgents.log:
maybe it can help?!

New to After Effects - need help with text manipulation!

Hi all, I'm new to AE and this forum and I'm looking for some advice. I've been asked by the boss at work to create a short video clip, around 10-15 seconds, where text is displayed on the screen (3 words), after the few seconds, I want a 'forging' noise to happen and the final word in the text to be changed to another word and have a metallic effect applied, similar to the effect in this tutorial:
Create Hot Metallic Text in After Effects - After Effects - macProVideo.com Hub
Will this be difficult to do and do you guys think a complete beginner like myself can do it? I've got a lot of experience with the likes of PS, so I'm not too shy with Adobe software.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. So will it be difficult to have one word of text come onto the screen and overlay on top of the existing text, as if it's crashing over it? Any ideas on the steps I would use to do this? Thanks
As you begin your career of using AE, you will change your vocabulary. Overlay will be replaced with spatial references like in front or behind.
Designing text with surface styles like chrome or metal is not difficult. You can even import them from Photoshop if you have some PS chops or friends who can do it quickly.
TEXT ONE can be easily replaced with TEXT TWO in any of dozens of different ways but to drop TWO in front of ONE is easy, you're just setting position keyframes. The finesse of animation, though, lies in the illusion of motion, exaggeration, overshooting and recoil. Your TWO could fall and squish and rebound and bounce or it could raise a dust cloud as it hits or it could make the camera wiggle. These are the things that separate simple key framing from animation and motion graphics.
