So I was recently more or less forced to use Adobe InDesign - for a home project in which a publication has to be made, after the responsible for it had no time to finish it.
While the software in overall works quite good - I am experienced with Photoshop, so Adobe was generally speaking no new land to me, I am quite surprised that some most basic features are missing*. Basically, the software works by assembling blocs of texts or pictures, that you can link together and nicely place on your document page, the software assisting you a lot in that procedure. BUT you cannot split a text bloc . Use-case: You have a big chunk of text in a bloc, and want to split it in two so that you can arrange them differently on the page: not possible. You have to create another bloc, cut the text from the first bloc, paste it in the new one.
I am still amazed that a software used by editing professionals, and who costs an eye, would lack such simple a feature. And this is by far not the only one.
* And yes, they are missing, other are bithching about it, it is definitely not only me who don't know how to use the software and therefor *think* some features might be missing.

You can link text frames. Just create a second frame, and link it to the first one. Any text overflow on the first frame will continue in the next.
Check out this InDesign Help[^] page.
That's what you mean, right?

Yes, that's one workaround. I actually did not want them to be linked : linking, resizing, unlinking does work. But still more complicated than putting the caret where you want your text bloc to be split, and press something like ... "Split".

Well, Adobe is monitoring this Lounge, and this feature will come two versions hence.
|
|
|
|
|
Or if they get the time machine working, it'll be in the two previous versions.

If you think InDesign is bad, wait until you get a load of Illustrator.
That damned program owes me at least a quarter of a head of hair.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Been there, suffered the same. Illustrator could rank not far from LotusNotes.

I don't understand that game (looks a little like baseball to meh) but this is a good result, isnt it?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

It's the World Cup [please note that does include all nations who qualify]. The Irish are good second tier side, not Test quality but good none the less. Oh and England have won 1 from 3, so there is bragging rights.
As for the rules, it's simples. You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

Actually they lost 8 wickets, but the last two guys did well as the two remaining batsmen can't bat.

Of all the races in the Galaxy, only the English could possibly revive the memory of the most horrific wars ever to sunder the Universe and transform it into into what I'm afraid is generally regarded as an incomprehensibly dull and pointless game.

So you're Irish now.
|
|

Always have been.
Dad is Irish/Scot and Mum Irish. I am British, but my Irish roots come first.
Also, by birth I am entitled to Singapore nationality and I can have Irish nationality as both my parents have it. Hopefully soon, I will get my Hungarian citizenship through as well.
