About Chuck Mountain Expertise I can answer questions about setting up documents, use of master pages, use of style sheets, layout design, formatting typography (including OpenType fonts), use of color, importing/exporting graphics or text, importing/exporting documents in various formats, working with transparencies and objects, creating PDF files, and preparing documents for the printer.
I would not be helpful with questions about XML or HTML, trapping or color separations. Creating scripts is also beyond my current expertise.
Experience Working the past 5 years as a freelance graphic designer in English has led to fluency in Adobe InDesign CS, QuarkXpress Passport 6.5, Adobe Illustrator CS and Adobe Photoshop 7. My work includes book cover and page layout design (full length books), posters, brochures, marketing materials, stationery and digital art (see my website, www.chkmtn.com, for examples).
I also do multilingual desktop publishing, typesetting in Spanish and German. Unicode and OpenType fonts are standard fare.
Expert: Chuck Mountain Date: 3/9/2004 Subject: Text wrap defaults
Question Whenever I create a text box in Indesign 2.02 now, it automatically applies text wrap to it. It didn't do that when I first installed it. I've tried deleting the preferences file and restarting Indesign which works, but it seems like there's got to be an easier way. I'd really just like the text boxes to appear without text wrap when created.
Thanks,
chris
Answer Hi, Chris.
Try this: go to Window>Text Wrap. Choose the icon on the extreme left (there are 5 in a row). Be sure to save whatever document you have with this new setting. InDesign will remember the last saved version of your document and treat that version as the default.
If this doesn't work, let me know and we'll figure out something else.
