Tip of the Week
InDesign Inserting a Tab in a Table
When you have the text cursor in a table cell, pressing Tab will move it to the next cell. If you need to place a tab character inside a table cell, choose Type > Insert Special Character > Tab. On the Macintosh, just press Option-Tab. If you need to do this a lot you can create a keyboard shortcut to do this by doing the following:
1. Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts
2. Click New Set
3. Select Type Menu in the Product Area menu
4. Select Insert Special Character: Tab from the Commands list.
5. Select Tables in the Context menu.
6. Type a keyboard shortcut (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Tab) in the New Shortcut field.
7. Click Assign
8. Click OK.
Adobe Creative Suite 1, Adobe Creative Suite 2 A problem experienced by many users is the different conversions of PMS colours across CS1 and CS2 applications.
Typically users select a PMS colour from “Pantone Solid Coated” and then they convert to process. This conversion will change depending on the Colour Settings of each application, and will not be the PANTONE recommended conversion numbers.
As most users do not have colour management under control, we suggest the following:
“In Adobe Photoshop, simply choose the PANTONE colour from the library explicitly labelled “PANTONE solid to process”. This library contains explicit CMYK data supplied to Adobe by Pantone, rather than using Photoshop's algorithms to convert to CMYK. If you pick the colours from the PANTONE solid to process coated library, the values will be consistent with those native to Adobe InDesign 2.x and Adobe Illustrator 10.x up to CS2.”
No preview image of InDesign file is created (CS, CS2)
When you select either the "Always Save Preview Images with Documents" (CS2) or "Save Document Preview Image" (CS) option in the File Handling section of Preferences, Adobe InDesign does not create a preview image that is viewable in Mac OS Finder or Windows Explorer.
Solution: Use Adobe Version Cue or Adobe Bridge to view the preview images.
The InDesign preview image feature is designed for Adobe Version Cue and Adobe Bridge. It is not designed to create thumbnail images for Mac OS Finder or Windows Explorer.
