trouble installing TCS3 with CS5 DP
In the end it was a complete disaster. Adobe Support took over my machine to do some tricks, and when they were done I could no longer enable my VPN connection or my virus protection. I brought the computer to IT, who rebuilt it and installed everything. Later I got a call from Adobe asking to see the install logs - I said I did that last week (you knucklehead). The guy I talked to said he was the top tier of Adobe support, and a lower-level guy had done some things that he should not have done at his level. I replied I don't need you anymore and I hope I never do again. So there's a cautionary tale.

Image rendering onscreen
Frame 9 unstr, WinXP I have a short (less than 100 page) document with a handful of images. They are TIFs ranging in size from one to 16 MB (300 dpi). As I scroll through the document, Frame constantly halts at the images and takes several seconds to render. I thought it would only happen once the first time each image is displayed, but it seems to happen repeatedly. Is there a way that I can reduce the render time for my graphics? I was thinking there was a way to have Frame display gray boxes (like when it can't find them) but I am not finding that option.

Is there a way to move graphic frames & images in micro movements?
Do I remember correctly that this feature used to be left-Alt only? There was a reason not to use the right-Alt key, something related to using languages other than English, but I don't remember what it was. I wonder if that reason is no longer an issue, or if the right-Alt key ability to nudge objects is a bug? -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Shlomo Perets Sent: Friday, March 11, 2011 11:16 AM To: Theresa de Valence Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Is there a way to move graphic frames & images in micro movements?

more Frame 10 Bug(s)/Odd behavior
I get no crashes or stay-on-top behavior, but I do notice this strange thing: I used to be able to triple-click to select a paragraph, and then drag down to get more whole paragraphs. Now the triple-click doesn't select anything until I release the mouse button, so I can no longer get multiple paragraphs in that convenient fashion. I wonder if it was a casualty of the (also convenient) new drag-and-drop feature?

Methods to redo book
Okay, I have copied my book to oldbook and copied book files to oldfiles. In one file, I have cleaned up master paragraph and charater catalogs (deleted excess) and fiddled with master pages to make them perfect. Now I'm ready to create a new book, but there are hundreds of cross-references going between book files. In what order should I do things so that I do not have to redo all the cross references? Thanks, Theresa
Re: Is there a way to move graphic frames & images in micro movements?
I use Alt-Arrow frequently to nudge images. But as Shlomo says, you can also use it for text. Just select the text and then nudge it whichever way you want. Some typographic purists (not I) like to hang quotation marks that occur at the beginning of a line out to the left, so that the first letter lines up with those above and below. You can do this by selecting the whole line and using Alt-left arrow to move it. It's one of those things that you can do right at the end of your production process (but for which most of us never seem to have the time).
