    Putting a particular recond on a particular page - InDesign, Data Merge

    I've got a spreadsheet (well, csv output) with a few hundred records in. The data order is constant but values other than the key are updated. The order with which each record is used within the document fluctuates. Is there a way to fix say 'Record #5' to 'Page 12'? Thus if a new page is...

    What's that type of Art / Architecture called?

    Hello, I sort of got pulled into graphic design 12 years ago and I've been doing paid work for 10 years or so. I can often design something that looks good in a style relevant to today. If they want something in a particular style I can match it if I have some examples. Employers are happy...

    PDF Render errors

    Thanks for the response hank, "when you go home there will be another story on your house". :P They can have strokes on them, but they aren't very stable then it seems. Anyone know why?

    PDF Render errors

    I've designed an A4 document in InDesign and the output is perfectly fine. :) However when I input data into the form elements the stroke on the form elements disappears in places. Not predictably. If I export all data and import into the same document or a fresh version most field's strokes...

    Wordpress' 'the loop' in context to adding blog features to static pages

    What wrong with calling this function "wp_login_form" in the pages content? (obviously you'd need to make a short tag for the function but thats simple enough) Codex link: Function Reference/wp login form WordPress Codex

    Just been reading about what to do after Uni in the "Company or Freelance" thread. I have left Uni, got 18months work under my belt (plus 6 years of marketing materials for a charity group) and now sadly unemployed.

    A guide for Design Job boards?

    I got a job straight out of Uni and now I'm unemployed. I think I can setup my own Website Development and Graphic Design business but before I do I need to earn some money. I've searched online for a guide to using Freelance Job boards but all I get in search results are "N best Job Boards"...
