The instructions say to make the page 20 inches x 16 inches, but according to your properties panel, your page size is 2.6667 x 3.3333 inches That's why your text looks large: your page is small Here is my 14 pt text next to yours on the page set up as 2.6667 x 3.3333 (mine's in green) Fix your document size, and your text will show up in the proportion you expect to see.   -- It looks like you originally set your page size as 16 x 20 picas. That would give you the 2.6667 x 3.3333 inch page size that you ended up with. The new doument dialog defaults to picas for some reason, so it's easy to see how this could happen to a new user. ...

This is terrible advice. I have had the misfortune to have to make edits to files set up this way. The first bit of added or removed text throws all of the rest of the lines out of wack, and suddenly your indent is not longer correct and you have tabs randomly placed throughout your lines. ...

Set up a new Swatch (Color Type: Spot) Call it something like Spot White. (The visual color mix will not matter; I usually use magenta or light blue). Everything that you want printed in white ink needs to be set to this spot color. This will create the separate printing plate that will be used for the white ink.  What you have done with your (c=0,y=0,m=0,k=0) swatch is to tell the printer that no ink will be printed in those places.  ...

have only used the overrides in a few occasions(applying italics to the references) Instead of overriding to add formatting such as bold or italic to just a few words within a paragrpah, set up a Character Style that contains just the attribute you want to change, and nothing else. By applying those attributes with a Character style, you will insure that they remain styled even if there are changes made to the Paragraph style.  To get rid of the extra paragraph returns, you can use the preset built in to the Find/Change pallet. Multiple Returns to Single Return.  ... View more

with "Keep Options" set to 2 lines at the end of paragraph, it will allow the last line of a paragraph to be alone but will often keep together 2 lines at the end of one paragraph with the first lines of the next paragraph.  That is exactly what you have asked for in the options you show. It keeps the last line of your paragraph with the next two lines (the start of the next paragraph)   If what you want is to not allow a single paragraph line to be by itself on the next page, try Keep Lines Together, and fill in the number of lines at the start and end of a paragraph that you want to have held together.   ...

To paste multiple cells from one table to another in InDesign you first have to paste into a secondary application to remove the formatting, then copy and paste from that app into InDesign. Excel or OpenOffice work well as the secondary app.   That works, but creates a lot of unnecessary steps.You don't need to leave InDesign to do this.  If you covert the source table to text, you can copy a row of tabbed text, and use Paste without Formatting to fill the table row.  ...

The only solution I found was to create un color rectangle witch hide the markers. If by markers, you mean things like page numbers and other parent page items, then make a layer for the markers. Make sure it is the top layer of your document. Make a bottom layer for the base page color rectangle. Lock both of those layers, and use central, unlocked layer(S) for the rest of your content. ...

In my this example, the blue starts after classified as (upper or lower case), and continues until a period.  For this GREP to work properly, there has to be a common character, or set of characters that always follows the text you want to be blue. You could also add a End Nested Style Here character, but that would be a lot of manual work.  The code here finds text that follows the words classified as, and continues until a period. As you can see, this will not work unless there is a period (or some other common character) at the end of the blue text in every instance. ... View more

I'm not clear on what you are asking here. For the sample you have shown, you would need two paragraph styles: one for the red text and one for the black text. All of the attributes would be in the styles. Additional: if each of your entries has exactly two paragraphs per section, you could format it all in one click using the Next Style feature. If each of the two styles is set as Next Style for the other, you can select all of the text, right-click on the first style, and it will cascade the styling through all of the selected text.      ...

You would add the paragraph spacing to the Paragraph style for the red text, and the leading adjustment to the style for the black text. ... View more

Is there a reason that each of these needs to be in its own text frame?  You can acheive the same spacing (within a single text frame) far more easily by using a combination of slightly tightened leading on the black text and a Space Before Paragraph setting on the red text.    ... View more
