Маркус Гард, типограф. Сеточная система вёрстки

Ходил на сайт (www.bachgarde.com) известного сеточника — Маркуса Гарда, а там нашёл интереснейшую статью по основам гармоничной вёрстки. Статья заточена под Индизайн. Очень порадовал экскурс в историю, куча примеров расчётов сеток. Есть ссылка на полезное приложение для полуавтоматического моделирования сеток в любой программе вёрстки, хотя конечно упор в ней опять же — на Индизайн. В общем, один юзер решил перевести её, оцените: http://totsamiyshigaev.livejournal.com/13606.html

Subject:	Running header and TOC help?
Security:	Public

Hi everyone! I'm a former Quark user who, despite officially being a copy writer now, has somehow become my department's InDesign guru. I'm entirely self-taught on InDesign and don't know diddly about script writing. But I've been tasked with spiffing up our [giant hot mess of a] standard template, and I've hit a few snags. I'm hoping someone here can help.

( Details )Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks very much!

I printed a booklet a few days ago just fine. Now that there have been text changes and a master page item moved, Print Booklet took out my page 3 and added a blank page at the beginning. Please help.

Keith Gilbert is a Minneapolis based Adobe certified expert, and I've taken a couple workshops with him (Indd and PSD) Now he has a blog up and it's pretty good. There's some basic stuff, but some "Omg!" material for more advanced users, too.

Any other Indd sites or blogs you like?

Subject:	Endnote FRUSTRATION
Security:	Public

 I'm working on a U.S. Historical manuscript for an author who inserted reference numbers into the text that connected to endnotes. The numbering process was in Roman numerals. I worked through the editing process in MS WORD, but when I pulled the the manuscript into InDesign, it changed the numbering to Arabic. What can I do to fix this?

I'm still working on version InDesign CS, and probably should upgrade, but everything--hardware, software--is stable, and I cringe to mess with something that isn't broke, if you know what I mean.

Subject:	InBooklet SE replacement?
Security:	Public
Mood:	frustrated

Hi everyone, hoping you can help me? I've just moved from CS2 to CS3 and just realised that I don't have the InBooklet SE plug-in anymore as ALAP were bought out by Quark and now only have the "print booklet" option in the File menu.

Question is does anyone know of any software that gives the same functionality (i.e. create new document) as Inbooklet SE bar having to save as an INX file, open in CS2, check for errors, and then create booklet as that seems rather unneccessary and long winded for something that could be very quick. (I'm not fussed at the cost).

Thanks

Chris.

Security:	Public

We're hiring a new production artist, and I've been tasked with creating a skills assessment test. We're document heavy, so we need heavy INDD, but they'll need to be able to know their way around AI and PSD, too. Something that should take them about half an hour, and include importing images, edits to images, and building some quick style sheets. I'm considering building a document and having them recreate it from PDF, giving them type specs, but before I do: Anything like this available online anywhere? I'd really like to avoid rebuilding the wheel if possible...Thanks!

Security:	Public

InDesign cs2 - I have some great color logos in eps format that are going into pages that are bw. I went to edit the original file through Illustrator to perhaps convert it to grey scale but the font is not available.

Is it ok to simply leave the eps logo color? Or is there another setting I should be looking at...

Sorry I'm new to this. Srsly learning on the fly.

Subject:	master pages in a book -
Security:	Public

 I'm new to InDesign (and this community - hola!) but have already had to produce things on the fly!

The idea of a book/booklet is new to me. I created one that was only 40 pages earlier, but I think I ended up creating a lot of work for myself.

I'm looking for recommendations for starting a book that will have the same layout on most pages, however I need the reverse for opposite pages - for example, the page on the right will have a graphic on the right, the page on the left will mirror that page - so the graphic will be on left of that page. Make sense?

Previously, I had copied and pasted a completed page (including text!) and edited the text on each page.

Seriously, this cannot be the correct way! I'm thinking some sort of a master page - do I need two? It would be great to be able to just input the layout once/twice for the bulk of the pages.

Of course the other sections of the book will be seperate documents, but I can just add those later.

This book will actually be for printing (my former InDesign task was just to create an electronic document, much less stressful!)

Any hints/tips would be awesome!

Security:	Public

I'm really frustrated here, but I feel like this is a simple problem with a simple solution that I'm just not seeing.

Does anyone have any idea why the glyphs pallete would be coming up with no info whatsoever no matter what font I choose (even those that I know have glyphs)? I'm running CS2 InDesign on an iBook.

I thought about updating, so I've been working on downloading the trial of CS3 but that seems like a ridiculous solution. There's got to be some reason for all this.

Thanks for any advice!

So, I've got about twenty pages of text, that are sewn with "forced line breaks" & after trying to remove them with a nested style within a paragraph style, they are still there, the "returns!#$*?>!!?"
Anybody out there have other ideas?, I might still be able to work this out with a nested style, & perhaps I'm not creating a character style correctly, but I don't want to waste further time with this option if it's not gonna work out via a nested style anyway.

Subject:	Q2ID?
Security:	Public

Long story short. I am a freelance designer. I took over a magazine layout where the old designer only used Quark. I have InDesign CS, can't open Quark docs in it. There isn't even a converter plug in for it. I downloaded the free trial of Quark, and did two months issues with it. Great. Thought I could upgrade InDesign to CS3 because you could open quark files with it. No problem. Did that Friday.

I made this post here about my troubles with getting InDesign to open Quark files. I found out today from tech support that InDesign CS3 will only open Quark v4 and lower files. Well I was working in Quark7.

There is a plugin called Q2ID that does open version 7 files. Does anyone have Q2ID? If so is there any way I can send you one Quark document, have you open in with IDCS3, save and send back to me?

I've already spent $200 bucks upgrading to CS3, I can't spend another $200 getting this stupid plugin that i am only going to use once.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject:	InDesign CS3 Upgrade Issues
Security:	Public

Hello all! I'm new to the community and I come with an issue of epic proportions!

Since Adobe Tech support is closed on the weekends, I come to you guys with a small (read: huge gonna get fired if its not fixed) problem.

Yesterday I purchased the CS3 upgrade from regular CS. I was told over the phone by the sales person at Adobe that CS3 includes Batch the Quark to InDesign converter. I got home, and made my purchase from the web, installed, upgraded, the whole nine.

Well when I try and open my Quark docs, its still asking for the plug in. Here is a shot of the error. I assure you that the file is not open in another program. I called adobe this morning and it was confirmed yet again that the Batch plugin IS included with this version of CS3.

My quark trial ran out yesterday, and it was cheaper to upgrade ID than buy a full version of Quark. My deadline is looming and I'm a lil stressed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Okay, VERY ANNOYING.
I need some help, somewhat urgently as I need to work on this file without this happening.

There is a somewhat thick, blue line appearing under ALL new text I'm writing in InDesign CS2.
The underline box is UNCHECKED in the character pallet.
If I check the underline box, a completely different line appears, so I'm definately thinking it's not that, but what else can it be?
What can be causing this, and how on earth do I turn it off???
It's horrible and it's annoying. Please help!

Thank you!

InDesign CS3 on Windows...

I set up a template for my monthly newsletter, based on a typical issue. Later, I made some changes and additions to my character, paragraph and table styles, but I did it in the document, which, of course, did not affect the template.

Is there any way of copying style definitions from one document to another, or from a document to a template (like the Style Organiser in MS Word), or even to a library (I keep the standard graphics, disclaimers etc in a library file for easy access)?

Thanks in advance

Subject:	Production Resources Help
Security:	Public

I have just earned myself a new job working for someone as an extra designer in his small company. He's taking me on to help with alot of different things, including production.
He knows I've got a lack of experience with that, so will be patient, but wants me to learn how to do it as well. So, that would basicly be getting everything all properly formatted and ready for print, including having the pages lain out properly (guides, colours, image sizes, crop marks, etc. etc.) and making PROPER .pdf files.

So, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good resources for learning the production aspect of design. I'm far from lacking in this, BUT feel that what I learned wasn't cutting edge as there are gaps in what I know, and I don't want to fall behind. I never really learned anything about proper .pdf formatting for example. My education always stressed the importance of having all the right files, but never on how to do this in a .pdf.
So, any good sites where I can learn anything about it, or any books you would recommend would be great.
I'm in serious need of the info.

Not necessarily JUST InDesign related, but I think alot of you here would know this kinda thing considering the program the community is about. I'm sorry if it's out of place at all.

Thank you!

This is probably a question that is going to make you all laugh at me, but I'm try to make a 5 x 8 book to be printed here, and while I think I have the whole autoflow text thing figured out, I am stumped by the the simplest thing. I think I managed to figure out how to get the page to be a 5 x 8 instead of the usual letter size, but I cannot figure out page numbering. I read the entire help section, and I still have no clue how to number the whole thing. I got the first page numbered, but do I really have to paste the text box to every single page? Please help!
