InDesign CS2

I am using an iMac 20 with max ram. All of my numerical windows show point sizes in to the 14 decimal. How do I get back to the good old fashion 2 point decimals?
Thanks - Roy MInor

Stop using your Mactel. Its a Rosetta problem.

Stop using your Mactel. Its a Rosetta problem




While it is a problem between Rosetta and InDesign, I would disagree that you should stop using your Intel Mac as a result. The problem is strictly a UI issue. (i.e., if you create a document on your machine with such measurements showing, save it, and then open it in InDesign on PPC Mac or Windows machine, all the measurements will be "correct.")

While InDesign is actually a bit slower on my 2 GHz Mac Book Pro than on my 1.25GHz G4 Powerbook, I have yet to find any real (non-cosmetic) incompatibility.

Well that is the way to stop the problem.

but such small measurements will not affect your file.

Yes, it's purely an Intel issue. It's ugly and hard to look at (and really should be corrected in service release 4.04, are you listening, Adobe? =).

But it's harmless, in my experience.

You're assuming that this is an Adobe issue. Adobe can't fix
Rosetta...that's Apple's job.

In case you haven't read it I found this blog-entry rather illuminationg on the whole issue of rosetta:
