When opening a CS 6 doc, why aren't facing pages centered in the window?

It's driving me crazy that InDesign CS 6 opens facing-page documents, such as book chapters, with the spreads in erratic places: up, down, to the side, but seemingly never centered in the window! What's going on?

Peter, regarding your manual "replace preferences" method, I did that, and InDesign still moves the spread when it's re-opened (unless I adhere to Steve Werner's limitation of only using "fit in window" before I close it.) If for any reason I zoom out a bit while working, and save it that way, when the file is re-opened, it very much off-center, and cannot really be worked on until I pull it back to a quasi-centered position. I don't think I'm unusual in wanting to work on a spread that's approximately in the middle of my window. There's absolutely no reason for InDesign to move the position of the spread when it's re-opened. It's not a "feature request," as Steve Werner said, it's a bug... Plain and simple. And far from "honestly, I don't think most people notice," I respectfully disagree: I think people notice. I'm hugely appreciative of anyone who helps with these forums, don't get me wrong. Your input, and Steve's input helped me think through this problem. I now firmly believe it's an interface bug, and will request that Adobe fix it in a future release. Thanks again.

Can anybody say why In the layer menu the background color is white when opening a layer mask, and why does it automatically turns black by simply opening the layer mask properties menu? The vector mask is white anyway.

Why aren't there anymore updates for the ipod 1st gen? I can barely do anything on it now and it would be a waste . its only 4.2.1 just make it to ios 5

Because the hardware will not support a higher iOS.

No Page Displayed in the window (HTML) when a WItem is Executed from Email

Hi Workflow Masters!
I have a problem regarding my Email Notification regarding SWNCONFIG.
When a wokitem received thru Email (Lotus) is Executed, a Window opens and <i>supposedly</i>, the workitem will be displayed. However, there is no page displayed in the window (html) for execution.
I haven't configured yet a Universal Worklist for my SWNCONFIG. Am I right that I have to configure a UWL or is there any other option where a workitem is Displayed and could be executed?
Please send me a link about UWL or other solution.
We are on Ecc6 and I used SWNCONFIG for the extended notification thru SWN_SELSEN report.
Please share some words on my issue.
Thanks for the help.

Well, the UWL is not 100% necessary.
But let's start from basics. This all depends on what kind of application is supposed to open, when you click the item. What happens if you click the item in Business Workplace? Is there some web based application (web dynpro?), or is there just a normal SAP transaction?
In the extended notification configuration you can define that "where" the application should start. For example if you have a web dynpro application, you can define the host of web dynpro in SWNCONFIG (I think that it was in the general settings). Or if it is a transaction, you could open the transaction in webgui.
Another option is that you remove the links from the mail (if you don't get them working). This is also possible, just configure it in SWNCONFIG or SWNADMIN. For example you can modify the text of the mail to "You have new work items in Business workplace, please go there and process the items...", and no links in mail. => The users are just informed to process their items, but they cannot do it directly from the mail. Of course this is not that cool...

Im having problems with Safari 5.1.10. I often have several tabs open on screen. And after a while the links/websites become not active. So if click on a tab and want open a previous website it than has to re-load again in the window. Can I change this ?

Empty the Safari cache more often.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

How to keep the image centered in the window when mouse zooming in cc 2014

I,m not able to keep the image centered in the window when using the mouse scroll wheel for zooming.

Ctrl + and - keys are meant for "center zoom". As far as I know, the zoom tool is a "point zoom" tool. If you move the zoom tool with your mouse, it will zoom in on that part of the image.
Also Ctrl 0 is "fit to screen" and Ctrl 1 is 100% zoom. (Use Cmd if this is a Mac)

Trouble with format of files exported from pages as .doc - when opened on a pc they have extra spaces and pages breaks inserted after each line? Can be manually deleted, but defeats sharing purpose. advice?

Hi all, I have trouble with the format of files exported by email as .doc from pages - when opened in MS word on a PC or other device, they have extra spaces and pages inserted after each line - can be deleted manually, but defeats sharing purpose. Any advice? Not the most sophisticated user.

Got it. I tried booting with MOD_AUTOLOAD set to yes, and it was working fine. Looks like I needed to specify some more modules in my list.

Why when I open contacts on my Macbook Pro running ML and I click on the window, does it disappear into the background. It basically makes it unusable because I can't touch it.

I've restarted my MacBook Pro (like I used to have to do with my PC) and I've of course also quit and restarted Contacts. What happens is, I select Contacts, like lets say from the Dock. It opens or comes to the foreground if it was already open. I can type in the search field (because the cursor is already there by default). I can hit enter and search, but if I touch the window it disappears behind all of my other applications. Yes, not just behind one application but behind everything that is open. So, I have to minimize everything or shove it all out of the way in order to get to the Contacts window and use it. Do you know the solution to this?

when you restart the machine, make sure you uncheck the "reopen windows" check box, and see if that helps.

InDesign CS3 crashing when opening Excel or Word docs

Most Excel and Word documents (Office 2003) I open crash InDesign. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have the latest Windows XP, MS, and Adobe updates (including InDesign 5.0.2).
Thanks

I haven't had this particular problem (could be because I don't have Word or Excel) but soon after installing CS3 I
found that some actions in Outlook Express shut down InDesign. A few other users shared the experience.
I wonder whether in rare occasions there is a conflict between InDesign and something in the Office suite.
I can't offer a miraculous cure I'm afraid. I took the easy way out and switched my email client to Thunderbird. Your
only similar option would be to install Open Office.
You might want to experiment by installing the Word and Excel viewers - if they will coexist with the full versions of
the programmes - and see whether an action that crashes InDesign using Word wil crash it using WordView. You might get
more of a handle on where the conflict lies.

Why aren't Aperture edits reflected on the iPad?

When I update a photo in Aperture, why won't the changes show up on the iPad? I removed red eye from one image and cropped another. Despite multiple syncs, updating previews, etc., the iPad still shows the unedited versions and nothing I do seems to change this. Other changes to my library (such as adding or deleting photos, updating albums, etc.) are reflected on the iPad, but not adjustments to a photo once the image is on the iPad.

This continues to be frustrating. I've tried forcing Aperture to regenerate previews on this project, which took awhile (689 photos), then went through the sync process again. I also created an album with just the two photos that I had edited (one cropped, one red eye removal), reasoning that it would be a brand new preview for those.
When I synced again, watching the process in iTunes I saw that it recreated all the previews for that project in the iPod cache. But when I opened the photos app on the iPod, I saw the original, unedited photos again! Uncropped, and with red eye (in both albums).
I'm reluctant to delete the entire ipod photo cache; it contains 5,726 items and would probably take forever in Aperture and forever again to transfer all those photos to the iPad (I have the quality setting bumped up for the previews). Besides, it seems that what I already did deleted and recreated the cache items for the photos in question. I've looked in vain for an Aperture preferences setting that would tell it to use the versions rather than the masters, but there doesn't seem to be any such option. Does Aperture always default to the masters only when it generates previews?
I did try PhotoSync, and it's not bad. However, it seems more geared toward sending photos TO your computer rather than the other way around. I did download the Mac client app, too, and sent some photos to my iPad, including the ones I was working with. It got the right ones, something that Aperture/iTunes can't seem to do. Unfortunately, it puts all the photos sent into its own database, rather than the iPad Photo app (though when I set it up I was able to have it include all the Aperture items initially). So if I used that, I'd end up having photos in two places. I'd just like to be able to have them in one place on the iPad.
I guess I'll try the other suggestion, to export them and reimport them.

When opening links in a new tab there used to be dots surrounding the link (made it easy to see your place on a list), this is gone in Firefox 4. Can it be restored or simulated?

I open new tabs from a lot of links that are in lists. In Firefox the link would be surrounded by dots when I opened the new tab which made it easy to know where I was in the list if I had to get up or even look away from the screen. This is gone in Firefox 4 and it's really annoying to have to try to keep my place in the lists all of the time. Can this be fixed?

I don't see it on lists like this one: http://www.creationsrewards.net/m/default.asp
if I right click and open in a new tab. It will work if I open link in a foreground tab but then it will switch to the opened tab then and I want to stay on the list page not switch to the tab page.
I am not technical enough with Firefox to understand the page that you sent. Can you explain what do if this can be fixed? If not are you able to pass it on to a programmer so it can be fixed on a coming revision?

When opening a new tab i wish to see current tab again on the new page

when opening a new tab i wish to see the contents of my currently open webpage again on the new page

* Hold Command and left-click or middle-click the Reload button on the location/address bar to open the current page in a new tab.
* Hold Command and left-click or middle-click items in the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons to open a page from that list in a new tab<br>You can hold down the left mouse button on the Back or Forward button to open the tab history.
* Duplicate a tab with its history by pressing the Option key and dragging the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
* Dragging a tab in the browser window will detach the tab and move it to a new window, this is called tab tearing.
* Drag a tab back to the tab bar in the original or anther window to undo a detach or move a tab to a specific window. If a window gets empty (you tear off the last tab) then that window will be closed automatically.

Why aren't my albums viewable from the finder/pictures/iphoto library ?

When I want to import a photo to a website and I choose the picture file on my hard drive then the iphoto library none of the albums that I have created in iphoto are visible. The only organization is chronological and I have no idea where to find my pictures. I end up having to create a folder on my desktop and import the photos there first. There must be a better way!
Joan

Click here for information. The iPhoto Library is a Mac-style package instead of an UNIX-style one; this type of package exists in Mac OS 9, which has no UNIX connection.

My web page centers in the design view, but not when viewed on line.

I am new to web design and of course, to this forum. I had some background in VBA and Fortran, so when the original designer left, I was the only one in the organization willing to tackle the website and try to teach myself how to make it work and keep it current. We were financially in the red at the time, so hiring outside help would have been almost impossible. We are finally breaking even now, which was our goal as a non-profit.
So I inherited the computer and the responsibility for maintaining the website at a non-profit organization for kids in Florida a couple of years ago, and I am doing pretty well with it so far, even though my depth of knowledge is very shallow. AsI said before, I am entirely self taught, mostly by the trial and error method, so please excuse what is probably a very basic question.
My website is FloridaBandTournament.com.
The site is working pretty well for my users, but from an appearance standpoint, the pages always are on the left side of the screen. I would like to center the page(s) in the screen so that it looks a little better. They are on a black background - not sure how the background got there, but it is working fine for me. When I tried to center the pages, I googled my way to the statement text-align: center, and after placing it a couple of different places in the code, it suddenly seemed to work, at least in the in Dreamweaver 8 (I also inherited the software, which is I know is old, but so am I - will be 70 soon, and do my work for free for the organization). But when I went to a couple of different browsers, it still displayed the website on the left. I tried Firefox and IE. I am at a loss as to what to do.
When I found this forum, I thought maybe somebody could help me know what to do to make this centering of the page happen in a simple way for this old geezer. I would sure appreciate it.
I do not know what I should be communicating to you, but I thought if I sent the code in the body, it might help.
The body code is as follows;
body [
    background-image: url(file:///C|/Documents and Settings/user/Application Data/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/configuration/ServerConnections/www/images/background.gif):
   background-color: #000000;
   margin-top: 0px;
   margin-left: 0px
   margin-bottom: 0px
   margin-right: 0px
text-align:center
None of the pages in the active website have this code yet - I have a trial page that I am testing. The trial page can be accessed from the link at the bottom of the 'links' page for 'Show Host Infoormation' (the mis-spelling is temporary and intentianal so I can find the darn test link myself when I want to).
I would be glad to provide any information that might help someone understand what I have and what I am trying to do, but again, I am self-taught so I have little understanding of the technical terms. I would sure appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
Bob

First obviously make a back-up of the pages/s.
Go into code view in Dreamweaver and find the below html. Its near the top of the page after the css. You don't need to first table <table> </table> so you can delete that. It's the second table that we are interest in. See below I have added id="pageWrapper" to the opening <table tag.
<table width="795" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>
    <td width="795" height="19" valign="top" bgcolor="#000000"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<table id="pageWrapper" width="795" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

Then add this to your css styles in the head setcion of the page.
#pageWrapper {
    margin: 0 auto;
You'll have to do this for each page of the site you want centered, which could be a pain if you have many pages.
Also your background image is linked to your local computer thats why you are not seeing it but have a black background instead:
body {
    background-image: url(file:///C|/Documents and Settings/user/Application Data/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/Configuration/ServerConnections/www/images/background.gif);
    background-color: #000000;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
If you want the image to appear amend the link to as below:
body {
    background-image: url(images/background.gif);
    background-color: #000000;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
