View the baseline grid

The keyboard shortcut for viewing the baseline grid does not work in the CS5 Mac version. I can see the baseline grid by going through the menus but it would be so convenient just to press some keys as I am supposed to be able to. This must be a bug. I can view the document grid easily enought, either by going through menus or by using the keyboard shortcut (command + ').

When I type an apostrophe I do get an apostrophe. I have tried changing my language and keyboard settings to American - that really ought to work with InDesign but it still doesn't work. As I said, I can view the document grid easily enough. The only difference with the baseline grid is that you have to hold down the alt key as well. Why that should disrupt everything I don't know.

Placing MS Word inline images onto the Baseline Grid

Products:
InDesign CC
MS Word 2013
Hi everyone.
I'm placing a MS Word docx (default style formatting, images pasted inline with the text, each on a separate line) into an InDesign document with a baseline grid.
The document places without any difficulty, except that the images are piled on top of each other. I can see tht the image is being placed on its own line on the baseline grid, so technically it's being positioned properly, but I need the text to Jump Object or Wrap Around Bounding Box. When I change any image from No Text Wrap to one of the aforementioned, nothing happens. The bottom portion of the image remains inserted and aligned to the baseline grid.
How do I get the text to Jump Object or Wrap Around Bounding Box when using the baseline grid?
Thanks

Ah, I seem to have found a solution to the problem. Not sure if it is the best or most efficient, but it seems to work:
1. Create new paragraph style.
2. Set Basic Character Format Leading to Auto.
Then, rather than select the image as I was doing, position the cursor in the respective line hosting the inline image, and apply the new paragraph style.
That caused the text to have the Jump Object appearance.

Change the height of a paragraph break while using a 12pt baseline grid

Hey all,
I am laying out a newsletter – and I want to tighten up the layout a bit. Currently the body text is 9pt on 12pt leading as the baseline grid is 12pt. I think the gap between the paragraphs is too much, and I want to reduce the height.(This will save me some space!) (See image)
One solution although it's not really practical is to manually change the leading of the paragraph break to 4pt which reduces the gap to the desired size. But this is a longish newsletter and that would be a nightmare... (Hopefully this example gives you an idea of what I am looking to do)
Another thing I tried was to take out the paragraph breaks and put a 1mm space after each paragraph. This works, until there is a different amount of paragraphs in a column causing the overall column lengths to be different heights. Not ideal.
I don't really know what to call what I am looking for – so if anyone has any ideas for this, that would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Will

Yeah so I do usually use Space Before or Space After values – but on a baseline grid I am getting uneven columns if I have say 3 paragraphs in one column, and 4 in the other.
But that's a good point – expecting the baseline grid to absorb the difference in paragraph spacings isn't realistic. I guess I will just have to enjoy large gaps between paragraphs!
Thanks for the quick reply though Peter!

Using baseline grid and "space after" for paragraph formatting

I'm using InDesign CC on a MacBook Pro Retina. I'm designing a document and want to use a baseline grid to align text. I also want to use the "space after" option in defining a paragraph style. I'm using 10 point type on 15 point leading. The "space after" is defined as 7.5 points.
If I try apply both the baseline grid alignment and the "space after" specification, I essentially lose my defined 7.5 pt "space after" to a much larger space because the first line of the next paragraph sinks to the baseline grid line below it. I end up essentially with 22.5 pt instead of 7.5 pt.
Are these two functions incompatible or is there a way around this that I don't know about?
Thanks for any advice.

There's no way around it. Best is to calculate your various leading,
space before, and space after values to make sure everything falls on a
baseline. That way you avoid having to rely on "Align to baseline." You
may also want to turn on "skip by leading" in Preferences>Composition if
you've got graphics with text wrap in them.

Why are keywords not being shown in the Browser Grid View

Hi,
All the tutorials and manuals seem to have screenshots showing the browser grid view images with keywords at the bottom of the image. Now matter what i try i cannot get them to show up. Here are some of the things I've tried/observed.
- in the split view and viewer views the keywords show up as expected
- used the "browser metadata overlays" option (bottom right) to switch the browser between "show metadata" and "switch to basic view"
- used the "browser metadata overlays" edit option to confirm that both basic and standard overlays/views are configured to show keywords (ie. keyword is in the list on the right)
- i can see labels (red, green etc) in the browser grid view
- quit, deleted all my library preferences, restarted aperture
Are you seeing keywords in the browser view? Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
Also note I imported my library from iPhoto.
Cheers
Oliver

Hi i dont have primary checked heres what ive done
Hi thank youve tried editing all the basic and extended metadata options and so far i have managed to get the key words to show up on one photo at a time with a colour label.
To do this i have to go to the metadata tab on the left add a custom field to the general tab called it keywords to keep things simple lol.
This is the only way of getting my keyword to appear below the photo
However when i try and tag all the photos in the project with the same keyword and label it only tags the last one in the project ive held down cmd /option /ctrl nothing / some of these just tag one random picture with the metadata
i thank you guys in advance for your help

Is there a way view the internal lines of perspective grid?

It would be very beneficial to view all of the internal lines of the sectioned rectangular prism that the perspective grid consists of. This is a standard workflow for drawing 3 dimensional objects. Without this, it is very difficult to draw accurately.
Essentially this but in perspective mode:
http://mathforum.org/workshops/sum98/participants/sanders/IsomGrid.html
This doesn't appear possible to in CS5. Please specify if this is not the case and if it is possible in CS6.

Do you mean doing this?
You have toi use the proxy to select the different planes and shift key if you are drawing to that plane but on the grid's base in this case the top of the cube.

Bug - View changes to grid when expanding a collection in the left pane.

Tried submitting this via the bug report form but got java errors. Sigh...
This seemed like the best alternative.
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
View changes to grid when expanding a collection in the left pane.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Goto Library Module
2. Ensure there is a collection with at least one child - if not create one.
3. Make sure the collection is collapsed (you cant see the child and you see a right pointing triangle to the left of the collection name)
4. Change to Loupe view
5. Click the right pointing triangle next to the parent collection you just created to expand it.
Actual Results:
View changes to grid
Expected results:
View should remain unchanged - in this case Loupe view.

The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto.
THat is exceeding strange since iPhoto '08 could not open or share an Aperture library - that ability was first introduced in iPhoto '11 - with the latest version of iPhoto and or Aperture you can open the same library with either application - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
In the current version of iPhoto the photos are sorted by date in the film strip - I've not recently done a calendar so do not remember the specifics -

Set personal thumbnails in the 3x3 grid/ new tab view?

Hi there,
is it possible to set personal thumbnails in the 3x3 grid/ new tab view? E.g. I doN't want the current facebook page to be shown as a thumbnail but a big blue facebook-logo.
Does anyone know about an Add on that's able to do that?
Thanks in advance.

This extension will create the 3 "user" files for you, and gives you an interface within Firefox for editing those files.

Perhaps it’s a design feature to speed up the Organizer launch.
I am sure it is.
- The normal use of the Organizer is not the folder view, it's the thumbnail view with an organization based on categories and folder. That way you should forget completely where your pictures are stored. Anyway, the folder view in the Explorer is not a map of the location of the different bits of your file, it's only a logical representation. That's easy to see when you are doing a defragmentation.
- The folder view is useful even for those using normally the thumbnail view, but that is only for rare cases when you must change the folder organization, for instance moving files to another drive. The folder view is here to prevent you from changing things from the explorer and outside of the Organizer.
- The new folder list view, which you find 'funny' is there to help better organizing using tags. Its huge advantage is that such a view is created extremely quickly by extracting the last subfolder in the media table : it's the way the database sees the folders, based on its own content, totally ignoring the complex folder organization of your disk with media files or any unrelated other kind of data. You should use it in many cases, the main purpose being assigning tags when you have assigned descriptive folder names. I had suggested such a solution to prevent the long standing bugs in the folder view of previous versions.
So yes, the purpose is:
- to speed up switching modes
- to help folder organization fans to migrate to tags organization
- to hopefully get rid of the old folder organization bugs

How to view the returned data from a stored procedure in TOAD?

Hi,
I created ref cursor in the stored procedure to return data. The stored procedure works fine, just want to view the result in TOAD. The BEGIN... EXEC... END can execute the stored procedure, but how to make the result display?
Thanks!

Right click the editor and choose
"Prompt For Substitution Variables".
Run for example the following code:
DECLARE
PROCEDURE p (cur OUT sys_refcursor)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN cur FOR
SELECT *
FROM DUAL;
END p;
BEGIN
p (:cur);
END;
The result will display in Toad's Data Grid!
Regards Michael

Is there any provision to view the selected record using SYS_REFCURSOR?

hi friends ,
I was using SQL Server . now i am shifting to Oracle . so we are changing the Stored Procedures in SQLServer to Oracle SP's. I have given the structure of procedure given below . If possible , i want to see the output of select statement in the TOAD editor . If any body knows please help me
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PS_AON
P_STATUS OUT VARCHAR2,
P_CUR OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
AS
BEGIN
OPEN P_CUR FOR
          select colum1,column2,column3 from Table 1;
EXCEPTION
               WHEN OTHERS THEN
               P_STATUS:=SQLERRM;
END;
This is one of the model of stored procedures i am using . And the editor i am using is TOAD 7.3.0 and oracle 9i. Is there any provision to view the selected records by running this procedure in TOAD editor
thanks & regards

(assuming you have relatively recent version of TOAD).
Write a small block to call the procedure (or use Toad's 'execute procedure' option) as in the example below. Note the ':' in front of 'v_cur_out'. When you run the block, TOAD will prompt you for a value / datatype for 'v_cur_out'. Ignore the value, set the datatype to 'Cursor' and click OK. The resultset (if any) will be displayed in the Data Grid window below.
DECLARE
   v_status VARCHAR2 (32767);
BEGIN
   ps_aon (v_status, :v_cur_out);
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('v_status => ' || v_status);
END;

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

In month view, the entries hide each other. They stack up.

I'm running a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 with 2GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory system with iCal version 7.0. In month view, the entries sometimes stack on top of each other garbling the image, rather than listing down the day. I am beginning to miss appointments and this is frustrating. I have quit calendar and restarted several times.

Whenever installing a new version, at least review the information about new features.
Turn off the infernal Align To Pixel Grid feature.
