Is there an easy way to make sure the overall width of my tables are the same? I know how to do each cell, but that would be tedius to go check that for 42 pages of tables I've created. I was given this document, and the table widths on each page vary. I'd like them to be standard. But I am not seeing how to find the overall width of a table without adding up each width of each cell. Thanks! Julie

Ha! OK, I figured it out. On the Text Find/Replace window: Find: ® Replace: ® BUT then below that, specify attributes to change: Basic Character Formats: Position: Superscript

I've tried all of your suggestions above, using both text and grep... and they are not making the existing registered trademark symbols superscripted. Weird. I'm using Arial as the font, so I'm sure it has this capability.

OK. Thank you! So it sounds like there's no way to do a find/replace to change them all at once. But I do appreciate the information on how to fix them.

Thanks! But how do I find and replace the existing ones that are not created as special characters. They are the same size as the text itself at the moment.

Hi all! I must not be using the correct search terms, but I can't figure out how to do this. I'm sure I have to be in the GREP section of the find/replace window. But beyond that... I can't figure this out. I have a file with a bunch of registered trademark symbols. I want to make all those symbols superscript. How can I do this using the find/replace function? Thanks so much! Julie

Yes, I had to take all the info in the Word file and put it into a different format. So the data and text were the same, but the sizing and layout was different. Good to know!

So after a lot of trial and error (which I unfortunately didn't write down), I was able to IMPORT the entire Word file into InDesign. I had to modify a lot of different things in the options when importing, but I finally got the entire thing to import. From there I was able to copy and paste the tables into my new InDesign file. It still required formatting, but not nearly as much as copying and pasting each cell separately.

Yes, I'm finding it works better if I remove all the hard returns inside the cells. But still not perfect. Thanks for your response! I appreciate it!

ARGH! I'm so frustrated. I'm trying to copy data from a table in Word into a table in InDesign. I have the correct amount of rows and columns. But when I copy and paste it... it skips cells and I end up copying and moving the data around. It's taking me hours. I'm sure it's something to do with how the data was typed into the cells in Word. But no matter what I do to clean it up, it's not coming in cleanly. The tables are interspersed throught the document, so I can't really import them. Any tips on doing this more effeciently? Thank you!

Hi all! I'm building reports where we have a lot of consumer comments. They are listed at the end of the report. I want to highlight every other comments to make it easier to read. I have been doing this line by line... adding a paragraph style to each line... one with the text highlighted and one without. But my newest report has over 1000 comments... and this is tedius. How can I make this process automated... can I? I think I've seen this can be done, but I am apparently not using the correct search words, because I am not finding how to do it online. Thank you! (attached is a rough example of what I mean... but in real comments, some are many lines long, not just one)

Hi all! I'm pretty sure this can't be done, but I have a PDF form I designed for a client. She wants to be sure her clients don't share it with other people. Is there a way to prevent this? I can't imagine how that would work... but I thought I'd ask. Let me know if there are any questions you have that would help clarify what I'm asking. Thanks!

Hi all! I created a bunch of reports in InDesign. Each page has a table on it. Fast forward several months... I've been asked to update these tables with a total at the bottom of each table. No problem. I add the new bottom row to a table. But then I want a stroke between all the cells above this bottom line. I know how to do this. But what's annoying is that the little area where I am to click which stroke I want to modify keeps defaulting back to the outer strokes of the the table (see attached). It doesn't remember that I want only the interior horizontal line to be stroked... Is there a way to make it remember this is what I want? Can I make a style? Thanks!

OK, so that did the trick! Not exactly how I expected it to work, but it worked. I saved the file as an IDML file. Then I opened that file in InDesign. I still got a message that an image was missing. And there were still no red or yellow warnings in the Links panel... BUT one of my images was now showing up as a gray rectangle instead of a logo. So I just re-input that logo and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

Yes, I was referring to the links panel. There are no red circles or yellow triangles. I clicked on every image in the panel and it showed me where it was in the document. As I mentioned, there are only five! And yes, I imported all of them using File > Place.

Hi all! I'm running 17.4 on my Mac. I have a file that I created. When I go to save it, it warns me that image(s) are missing. But they aren't! I went to the Links window... and it shows everything is fine. I checked the master pages and looked for anything that was locked. Nothing. It saved it... but it worries me that it thinks something is missing. It's a small file... just one page with 5 links. So it shouldn't be hard to find. But it is! Any ideas? Thanks!

I could do a table, but now I'm intrigued by Peter's response. How would I set each style as the next style for the other? I haven't heard of that. Thanks!

Hi all! I'm adding comments to a report. I have two columns per page. And I want every other comment to have a light blue stroke behind it (so it looks highlighted). I have assigned styles to the text, so I can click on every other line to add or remove the stroke on every other line. But it's tedius. I am thinking there's a way to have alternating highlighting. But I can't figure out how to do it. Some comments are two lines and some are one, so the height of each "highlight" can vary. I'm attaching a screenshot as an example. Thank you for any advice you can give me.

Hi all! My head is spinning trying to figure this out. I have a report I'm creating. I have an Appendix with details. So on certain pages, I want to say "See Appendix, page 27 for details." But... page 27 keeps changing.. as I have to add and remove pages periodically. So I want that page number to be linked to the actual page... despite the changing of the page numbers. So would that be a hyperlink? Or would it be a cross reference? This report will be an interactive PDF as well as printed... so I want the page number to be on there, not just text. But I can't quite figure out how to make this happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

THANK YOU!!!! This worked perfectly. I had some issue with my Apple Font Book app, but once I got that working, I turned off a lot of fonts... plus I validated the fonts, per your instructions. Now Illustrator is running beautifully (I did turn on GPU performance... and it didn't crash my program).

Actually, that's how all this came about. Illustrator was freezing on me... I was unable to use it at all. I spoke with someone with Adobe tech support, and they ended up deleting and reinstalling Illlustrator on my computer. He said to NOT check GPU performance... because that was what was making it freeze. Ever since I did that reinstall, it's been super choppy and laggy. It's really frustrating, because it had been working so well. I will try the other suggestions and will let you know how it goes. Thank you!

Sure! When I go to delete the second page (at this point it's the first page of the PDF), I first get the message "Are you sure you want to delete the page from the document?" This is normal, so I click "OK." Then I get the following message: "One or more pages are in use and could not be deleted." I'll try resetting the preferences. But I just recently had to call Adobe and the agent re-installed the entire program because I was having another, unrelated problem. Not sure why I'm having so much trouble with this version!

I'm running Adobe Acrobat Pro DC v. 2022.001.20112 on an iMac. Creative Cloud says I'm up-to-date. I create reports... here's my process (which has worked just fine until recently): I create a report and save it as a PDF. I delete the first page of the report and do a "save as" for a different report. Then I delete the second page of the report and try to do a "save as" again for yet a third report. I've been doing it this way for years. Recently, I've had a problem. I can remove the first page and resave it. But... I can't delete the second page and resave it again. I have to quit out of Acrobat and restart it. Anyone know why it's doing this? And is there anything I can do about it?
