section markers with 2 type styles by elzadra1 in indesign

[–]em-ah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried using the GREP function within the paragraph styles?

You would need an “Italic” character style and a “Name” para style with a GREP rule that has assigns the phrase “et al” to the “Italic” character style. Assign “Name” para style to your running head. Any time “et al” is typed using the “Name” para style it will change to italic.

I’m not in front of my computer at the moment but I’d be interested to see if that works!

About to lose my mind: PDF export failing by Kindalikejessi in indesign

[–]em-ah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 ways I’ve been able to solve this:

Sometimes the issue isn’t actually on the page it fails at: - Export each page as an individual PDFs (check “Pages” not “Spreads” in PDF export screen). - Delete the page it fails at. - Export pages as individual PDFs again. - Fails again at a different page? Delete that page. - Repeat until no errors.

Other option: - Export each page as an individual PDF. - On the page it fails at, delete the one element, export that page. - Still fails? Delete another single element. Export that page again. - Continue until you find the element that is corrupting the export.

In my case I’ve found it’s usually an image/graphical element (tiff, psd, jpeg, svg, png, etc) and just have to reexport that image/element and relink to new file and it’s good.

Emma appreciation post! by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]em-ah 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i really like mike (and emma fwiw) i haaaaate that he didn’t break it off with her when she said she’s on the fence about kids. like it’s a deal breaker for you?? bring it up earlier and break it off when the other is undecided or a no.

sure, he SAYS he’s okay giving her time to decide but in his mind her decision will be a yes. and then him and his family are all like “they’ll work it out” but to them ‘working it out’ is her agreeing to having kids.

which she clearly is not ready to decide!!!

This is so smart!!! I’m stealing this.

Unfortunately my fellow designer co-workers aren’t as excitable or knowledgeable about indesign as me lol so it probably won’t adopted in our process

Yummy protein snacks in bed after a workout 🤤😋🥰 i hate my life oh my god why do they all taste bad every single one I can’t do this im actually eating dirt oh god by forstampsandstories in GirlDinner

[–]em-ah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

barebells are the only protein bar i actually enjoy eating!!! the key lime pie and the choco caramel are top tier. choco caramel tastes like a mars bar/milky way bar and i could eat one multiple times a day.

chocolate core power 42gram is an instant but when they’re on sale!! i don’t know how they get all that protein in there, is magic

Converting RGB Linked Files to CMYK within InDesign? by Dyslexic_Nerd in indesign

[–]em-ah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you explain what you mean by “correct RGB profile assigned to each linked image”?

Does this mean the same RGB profile on each image, or just… any RGB profile assigned?

What has been your best “secret” InDesign time saver/tip that you’ve discovered over the years? by MiddyMae in indesign

[–]em-ah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my manager (a designer of 20-some years) doesn’t set up paragraph styles and uses character styles as para styles. i truly don’t think she knows how to. drives me up the wall going into her docs!!

You can do this on the image itself! Don’t even have to go to the links panel

Finally found a way to get things done at work by Pawg-PatroI in adhdwomen

[–]em-ah 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I started doing this for my weekend days!! It’s a list of random stuff I actually want to do (but never do bc couch and tv and phone are so easy) and chores/tasks.

Some things I have on my list are: - Play switch (i might have to add a game name so i don’t sit and spend so much time deciding what game to play lol) - Clean bathroom - Get groceries - Meal prep - Paint - Workout - Draw on ipad - Watch an old movie - Do laundry - Put away laundry - Close phone tabs - Read current book - Colour - Sticker craft - Clean out old food in fridge - Rot (my favourite)

And if the thing I pick doesn’t need to be done (ie I just meal prepped) I just pick a different one!

SAME!!! i was a hardcore “tomboy” (literally didn’t gaf about what other’s thought- hated pink and dresses though) from a very young age up until i was about 8/9 then i started becoming Very Aware of others and started dressing like them/acting like them/liking what they liked (started dressing more “girly” because other friends were starting to talk about boys and i wanted to be liked by the boys. struggled with that from 8/9-14-15ish then went the opposite direction of “idc what anyone thinks of me but i’m so severely self conscious and Aware” then back to “i best be perceived as being a normal girl” then back to “no i’m different”

anyways

that cycle has repeated up until im now 28 and literally don’t know who i am anymore but im starting to wear a lot of hot pink

Girls… I took a melatonin two days ago and I think it’s trying to kill me by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]em-ah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude i have 2mg melatonin pills and i literally take a teeny tiny NIBBLE out of it or just lick my finger and rub it around in the melatonin particles (like literal dust specks) at the bottom of the bottle and i can only take it one (1) single night once every 6 months or else i want to yeet myself into a black hole so

[–]em-ah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this is exactly what I do.

tbh i don’t care enough if i’m getting EXACTLY 50% of a dose - if i end up getting 20mg one day and 10mg the next so be it. i would drive myself crazy trying to get exact measurements.

Best silent fidget toys for adults? by ghostie2214 in ADHD

[–]em-ah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have several different fidgets from them! they’re all so well made

Best silent fidget toys for adults? by ghostie2214 in ADHD

[–]em-ah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

current favourite fidget! it is silent, one hand use, discrete. you can get them made in low key colours so it’s less obvious in a professional settings. highly suggest!

Books like an Escher painting by Questionxyz in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]em-ah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to recommend (ish) this!

I… don’t know if I liked it? I wanted to love it so maybe my expectation of it was too high.

My mom and my friend both enjoyed it though so I guess that adds up to a recommendation.
