Mac users have to wade through the inexplicable proliferation of dozens of locked "Noto [name]" fonts in their font menus, which started a few OS's ago. Here's a quick way to hide them in #Adobe apps (faster than tediously Favoriting all others): www.linkedin.com/learning/ind...

Adobe InDesign users: Data Merge only merges up to a point, it's still limited to spitting out stand-alone instances, one per record. I show a straightforward solution to further merging in my latest tip video, unpaywalled for now: www.linkedin.com/learning/ind...

May 8: #Adobe's #InDesign team (engineers and product managers) just started a 24-hour "ask me anything"-style Q&A on Reddit. You don't need to be a Reddit member to read it but you will need to login/join (free) to pose a question or comment. Unusual but very welcome! www.reddit.com/r/indesign/c...

Pssst! The Adobe Fonts website has a "secret" screen that lists all the #OpenType features in a selected typeface, without you having to download it and install it first! Watch my latest video (unpaywalled for now) on #LinkedInLearning www.linkedin.com/learning/ind...

Type-o-philes, can you point me to a foundry's typeface where embedding in a PDF is not allowed (print and preview permissions are disabled), meaning that the only way you can use the face in a print project is to outline it first, assuming the EULA allows outlining? I used to know one but forgot.

#InDesign has over ***1,500*** commands available to "normal users" (many more to scripters). It's up to you to discover them all. Here are a few of my favorite hidden commands in InDesign, check it out (video is unpaywalled for now): www.linkedin.com/learning/ind... #design #layout #designgeek

Pico de gallo or any red or green salsa is delicious when added to chicken noodle or chicken vegetable soup, even canned.

*** ADOBE INDESIGN GEEK ALERT *** Designers, you may know about auto-fitting for text frames so they grow in size to accommodate text, but did you know there's a built-in way to do the opposite? Keep the frame size, but automatically resize the content! Watch my vid: www.linkedin.com/learning/ind...

Glenn I'm still tumbling your phrase "pupped it into its own book" around in my mind and admiring how it sparkles. :-) Never heard that before but knew immediately what you meant. Is it from how agave plants have pups?

Congratulations Scott! Welcome to my world ;-)

My very first Adobe InDesign project (a short RPG adventure for Savage Worlds) is in the can! Like most apps nowadays, there are countless tutorials online for almost every feature and that made things SO easy! Looking forward to the next thing! (And no, I can't show you a screenshot just yet.)

I didn't know you wrote a Take Control book about that, cool! (About the FindMy feature and Air Tags). I have about 12 of them on various items, and they've gotten me out of a few major jams. (Once I lost my keys while walking the dog, found them in a pile of leaves.) I'll take a look at that book!

#nottheOnion. A Stanford professor, Social Media lab founder, and AI fakery expert submitted a sworn declaration that contained a non-existent citation —"likely an AI hallucination"— in an AI-related lawsuit. www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/11/22/s...

Court declaration by Stanford AI fakery expert contained apparent AI fakery, lawyers claim

Thanks, yes, it is available for Macs. Apparently Postbox is a fork of Thunderbird so they look/act alike. Hmm.

I need to switch email apps for MacOS from Postbox to __? Which email program do my friends use? My must-haves: 1) ability to receive/send email on from diff accounts inc. gmail, on my schedule, and 2) robust custom filtering, actions, and finding. All else is gravy. Is Apple Mail the best solution?
