I’m in DIRE need of an InDesign CS6 FOR MAC geek who loves to share his or her knowledge with others.
It has been 16 years since I was an InDesign geek who used it in a professional setting—every day. On top of being an old guy, I’ve had a stroke. Consequently, my synaptic gap can go from being measured in micron to feet at a moments notice. In addition, my wife and I just moved from the Seattle area where InDesign experts are falling out of trees to Twin Falls, Idaho where they’re not ... BIG TIME. We also moved from a large two story with a finished basement to a small rambler. Thus, considering my handicap, I hope to find my CRYPTIC (far beyond my needs) manual sometime before ... Christmas.
*
My problem is that I have a 232-page technical (optics) book passed its due date because I am fighting to remember SOME OF THE BASICS of InDesign. So far, most of the problems I have solved by what the damaged memory has left intact. Yet, an incredibly important problem still looms.
*
It seems a large number of pages near the end of the book, created at the outset, disappeared without warning while working with graphic manipulation near the beginning. Then, when I tried to replace them by grabbing the original text I used from Word, the PAGES were replaced, but not the text boxes. I really don’t want to have to deal with creating the text boxes ONE AT A TIME, from pages 108-232. Also, I have not been able to get the text to flow from box to box when I DID create text boxes manually.
*
Finally, Although I grabbed this text from the SAME Word document, ALL the formatting was discarded. Not only would this create too much work, I would undoubtedly miss a lot.
*
Please help me if you can; I would like to get the book in print before optics become obsolete. The text has been ready since just before the first of the year. I professor of publishing is willing to help me but will not be able to do so until mid-June. I have found a couple on the Adobe Community forum willing to help, but some want to show off what they know WAY, WAY beyond my needs and others, not having English as a familiar language don’t come close to understanding my questions.
If you can’t help, perhaps you can recommend a fast-working ... poison. :cat:
