decimals in InDesign

[Lesley_Arenas@adobeforums.com]

Thanks, but does it mean that there is no known solution to this?

[Lesley_Arenas@adobeforums.com]

Every cell that displays a numeric value has 15 decimal numbers (x, y, w, h, etc...).
I tried to change it in Preferences, but even there all the value cells have 15 decimal numbers. I know how to change the measurement unit there but all of these numbers are killing me.
Any of you have an idea of how to change it?
Thanks!

Allegedly, Mac OSX 10.4.8 fixes this, but there's been no official announcement of that from either Apple or Adobe.

Doesn't help this other one much though to say that... for him/her it is new.
McFalcon - you are using an Intel Mac and this is a known problem with Rosetta on Intel Macs which according to rumor will be solved in Mac Os X 10.4.8 eventually. Until then you will have to live with it.

I know. I must confess that my motivation is small to write answers that are (in your case) 40 times as long as the question.
How nice that you have a much better heart and saved McFalcon the wait until Dave connects this thread with the collection.

Lesley, this is 21 messages above yours:

Is this a MacBook Intel issue?





Yes.





No known current fix. Apple knows of the issue.

They should have a HUGE RED FLASHING topic in the perm topics that says "CLICK HERE FOR INTEL MAC AND INDESIGN PROBLEMS"..

They click there. .they get the info. Huzzah!

[Nini Tjäder]

Chris - that doesn't help if you subscribe to the forum via emails (like I do) and never visit the forum via a browser or such.

[Claudio_González@adobeforums.com]

And anyway very few people ever reads anything above the list of topics -there are several seazoned users who had never noticed the prominent Support for Intel Macs topic. Face it, Chris, there is no way to prevent people from posting the same old questions.

[Dave_Saunders@adobeforums.com]

I was actually hoping that "14 decimals after comma" was a good enough title. I've fixed it to be the first message on the list after the Perm section. Perhaps that's why it's getting so much traffic now from people not discussing the topic but rather discussing discussing the topic.

Hi, Dave:

Have you considered adding a link and explanatory line or two to all forum topics that are emailed individually, or sent as digest mailings, about the PERM section? Other forums - Adobe and others - often have these reminders.

Peter,

I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I should add a message to the PERM topic itself every now and then.

Thanks for the thought.

Dave:

Anything that helps newcomers find often-requested information easily, by themselves, frees up energy that can go towards solving the new problems.

Mac OS X 10.4.8 has now been released. The rumor was that it fixed the problem.

Can anyone confirm or deny on an Intel Mac?

[Steve_Werner@adobeforums.com]

David Blatner has reported that it's fixed on InDesignSecrets.com.

Looks like 10.4.8 has fixed the issue.

Dave, the topic is drifting down! And we are getting new messages:

Guidingbyte, "10.4.8 and Measurements" #, 29 Sep 2006 1:26 pm </cgi-bin/webx?14@@.3bc1d3f5>

[Dave_Saunders@adobeforums.com]

Indeed it is. The problem is no longer as urgent because 10.4.8 is out.

But like all other updates, it doesn't help unless you actually download
and install it.
