Get strokes, lines, and rules in your Adobe InDesign documents to print with integrity (2/CS)
InDesign enables you to stroke frames, draw lines, add rules above and below text, and so on. For some reason, InDesign also allows you to set hairlines, which are very thin lines with a weight of .25 points or less. The problem with hairlines is that they often break up on the press or drop out all together. To check the weight of a stroke, line, or rule, select the item with the Selection tool and then choose Window > Stroke. On the Stroke palette, make sure the weight is set higher than .25 pt. You can also [control]-click (right-click in Windows) on the selected item and, from the contextual menu, choose a new setting from the Stroke Weight submenu.
Make sure your name is listed as the author of your presentation in the file's properties (PowerPoint 97/2000/2001/2002)
You don't want to send out a slide show with someone else's name listed as its author in the file's properties. To make sure your name appears as the author for all future presentations, open PowerPoint and choose Tools | Options (Edit | Preferences on the Mac) from the menu bar. Click on the General tab (Advanced tab on the Mac), type your name in the Name text box in the User Information panel, and click OK. To change your name for the active presentation only, choose File | Properties from the menu bar, and then type your name in the Author field on the Summary tab. Click OK to exit the dialog box and save your file. Now your name will appear in the Author field for the active presentation only. (Note that the Saved By field won't be changed in the Summary preview panel unless you update the author settings in the Options dialog box).
