What happened to Command+Shift+B = Bold face???

I'm an Adobe user since PhotoShop 2.0 and PageMaker version "Runtime" Windows. I've used InDesign CS4 for two months now. As most of you, I'm busy and haven't had time to research an itchy little glitch I've found. I use the shortcut Command+Shift+B since the beginning of time to switch to and from boldface fonts. All other CS4 applications as well as all MS Office products have continued the use of this handy (invaluable?) shortcut. With ID CS4, it no longer works. Why?

InDesign CS5 does not have faux bold or faux italic.  Faux italics can be had using the skew setting.  Generally a 20% skew setting works
well although in some cases the tracking may need adjusting to make it more legible.  As for faux bold,I have found that by doing the following
I can get a bold look for fonts that I do not have bold versions available for.
     1. Create a small text box to hold only the text that needs to be bold.
     2. Align it over the original text.
     3. If the alignment just isn't quite right, align it as best as you can and then create a character style to change its color to paper
                    (I call it White Out).  'White out' the original text and you're left with the text in the small text box.
     4. Copy the text box and Paste In Place until it's as dark as you need.
While this is not an elegant solution nor workable with large amounts of bold text it serves the purpose and can be exported to PDF.
So far, I haven't found a simpler way around the problem.
As for the Command+Shift+B=Bold question. . . . .  InDesign doesn't have it.  So What!   Big deal!  Get over it!  The power of this
program and what you can do with it is breathtaking.  Command+Shift+B=Bold is not needed.

    what happen to command i?

    Or do you mean it's not working to change text to italics? If the font doesn't have an italics style you can't fake it. It's been that way in Pages since it first came out.

  • What happened to command control D over text?

    In Snow Leopard and Lion, you could hold down command control D over text (try it in TextEdit or Safari) and the definition for the word would pop up.
    What happened to this?  Why is it gone?  How can this be restored?
    Anyone?
    It is so bothersome when functionality you've been using for years mysteriously goes away.

    I'm still on Lion and the definition doesn't appear until you release the keys. I tested it in Safari and TextEdit. I think your mind is playing tricks on you!

    I'm using iTunes 11.01 on OS 10.6.8 having just recently downloaded the updated iTunes. What happened to the advanced menu and the command to get track names and infor? I ripped some CD's while I was offline, and now I cana't figure out how to access the Gracenote Database to get the track names. This is a serious omission in the new version.

    It is still there. Right mouse click on a song or group of songs and select Get Track names

    OK, it installed as you pictured.  I had removed clicktoflash as you suggested.
    Didn't suggest that (don't think I did).
    Anyway, try installing both ClickToFlash and ClickToPlugin (I have both installed).
    Then, test with any youtube video.  (click to start the video, then right click and look for "Download Video")
    Edit: OK I see you tried with both installed.  Should work.
    Check the settings: http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/#settings
    Edit: Go to Safari->Preferences->Extensions, then ClickToPlugin, and click: "Click this checkbox to access settings":
    A new Safari Tab will open,
    Then in the ShortCut Menu Tab, click Download Video:

  • What happens when a program name is typed on the command line?

    I mean I know what HAPPENS but I need to know the sequence of events. How would I describe it?
    i.e. java MyProg

    What is this? Are you taking a take-home exam on basic computer operation? You're asking very similar questions about broad things.
    Anyway:
    1) the shell parses the command line. it gets a sequence of tokens which are basically just individual strings
    2) the shell identifies which tokens on the command line are executables, and which are arguments to those executables. It also figures things out like how to chain the output of one program to the input of another, although this doesn't apply in the example you gave. In your example, "java" is the executable and "MyProg" is a string to pass to the executable as an argument.
    3) The shell then searches for the actual program file corresponding to the token that refers to an executable. The shell looks at the PATH environment variable to find a list of directories; it then looks in each directory until it finds the program file. So the program file here would be "java.exe" on a windows system.
    4) It then spawns off a new process to run the java program, passing the MyProg string to it as an argument.
    Does that help?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    =======================================
    Reinstall - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

  • CSS Problems: Extra "margin-left: 8px" being added to bold face command.

    I'm having a unique and frustrating problem with a RoboHelp project.
    When I apply Bold face to text in a numbered or bulleted text, RoboHelp applies the following code: <span style="margin-left: 8px; font-weight: bold;">
    I cannot understand why the style="margin-left: 8px clause is inserted into the code.  It's causing a large amount of white space before and after every bolded item, and fixing it manually is not a great option for various reasons.
    When I apply Bold face to text outside of lists, the style="margin-left: 8px clause is not inserted.
    When I click the Bold button (or press Ctrl+B) on selected text, I'd like RoboHelp to add the minimal code necssary: <span style="font-weight: bold;">
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    Notes: I inhertied this project with multiple style sheets, including old .kadov styles and at least seven CSS files. I condensed this down to one CSS file and tried to clean up the file as much as possible. I'm using RoboHelp 8.0.2.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
