Measurement question

[Richard_Sohanchyk@adobeforums.com]

I didn't see the Intel Support for Macs link in grey though.




I'm not the only one who's color blind. ;-)

Sorry to have wasted everyone's time on this.

Don't think you have wasted anyone's time. The thread turned out to be quite fun.

And it also showed patently that (almost) nobody reads anything above the topic list. XD

I just installed Adobe CS2 Suite on a new MacBook and the measurements and type sizes are coming up with lots of extra numbers.

Instead of .25pt for a line weight it is 0.2502502502502502 pt
Margins on a letter size document are 0.5000500050005 in

Is this a MacBook Intel issue? Any ideas? The extra numbers are distracting.

Thanks.

Hello,

So I'm running ID CS2 on my Intel Mac (not sure if that will make a difference, but just so you know what's going on), and I've noticed that everytime I go to create a new document, the default measurement (for a letter document, let's say) is: 8.5000500050005 in with my margins set at 0.5000500050005 in.

If I try and type in just plain old 8.5 in, it defaults back to that weird number above. And it's not just for a letter document ... any document I create has these weird dimensions to them, and I don't know how to change it. I've looked in the preferences and deleted the preferences in my library folder, but to no avail.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Blair

For the benefit of the regulars, here's my plan:

Each time a newcomer posts this question, I'll find the most recent example and move that thread to the new one.

I hope this doesn't play too much havoc for newsreader users.

Well I just wound up with 23 new messages, but I think it's a good plan.

I tired looking for this issue, but couldn't see any topics ... were there others having this problem that have already posted?

Sorry if I'm duplicating questions ...

Blair,

The speed with which topics are created in this form meant that this previous topic from six days ago was half-way down the second page of topics.

I got to the third one before I realized I was reading old messages. :-)

Don't change the plan on my account.
