Q. I recently switched Adobe InDesign, where did the Hand tool go?

A. If you had been using QuarkXpress or Adobe PageMaker you are referring to the temporary Hand tool, it's still there.

The temporary Hand tool is a convenient way to scroll pages without having to switch tools, but the usual key command, the one you keep pressing and can't figure out why it's not working, doesn't work in InDesign. Instead, press the [spacebar] to get the temporary Hand tool.

Q. Can I print a list of files from a folder? I am using Corel WordPerfect Suite 8.

A. You may have been told the only way
to accomplish this is by using your [Print Screen] key. In WordPerfect, Quattro Pro and Presentations you can easily print a listing of a folder's contents, whether it is a complete listing or a filtered list to show only a certain type of file.

Open a blank document in one of the Suite applications, then choose File, Open. If the Open File dialog box doesn't display a menu bar, click the Toggle Menu On/Off button located below the toolbar to display it. Open the folder that contains the filenames you want to print. Next you need to decide what you want to include in the list. If you want to print a list of all the files in that folder, select All Files (*.*) from the File Type dropdown list. When All files is chosen, subfolders are included in the printed list. If you want a list of a certain file type, such as .txt or .wpd, select that extension from the File Type dropdown list, remember the file extensions available in the dropdown list depend on the application you're using.

To print the list choose File, Print, File List. If you didn't select any files, verify that the Sent To Printer option button is selected in the Print Options panel. If you selected files, verify that the Print List of Selected Entries option button is selected in the Listing Options panel. Otherwise, select the Print Entire List option button. If you want to include other folders in the listing, select the Include Folders In List checkbox. This choice isn't available if you've selected files. Click OK. A printout of the filename, size, file type and the last modified date is printed.

Q. When I opened my PowerPoint presentation on my laptop, my fonts look funny and the links don't seem to be there anymore. What went wrong?

A. Nothing really went wrong, you just didn't copy everything that the presentation needed to run and look the way you intended. If you just put your PowerPoint file on a disk, you could be missing some fonts and the linked files that are also part of the presentation.
To make sure you have everything you need you may want to use the Pack And Go Wizard. The Pack And Go Wizard helps you gather all the presentation files, fonts, colors, graphics and audio clips that you need for your next big presentation.

Start by opening the presentation you wish to pack. To use the Pack And Go Wizard, choose File, Pack And Go. The Pack And Go Wizard opens automatically and guides you through the process of obtaining the files and fonts you need to ensure that your presentation looks as good on the road as it does on your computer.

Q. How can I get the attention of a person viewing my web page before they download a large file?

A. One of the best ways to focus a viewer's attention on a web page is to display a pop-up dialog box that forces them to confirm their choice before proceeding to download.
To do this, you just need the following JavaScript:

<script language = "JavaScript">
<!-
function reallyLoad(){
return confirm ("Warning: This is a really huge page, do you want to load it?");}
//à
</script>

Then when you get to the link portion of your page, add an onClick action that calls the reallyLoad function, as in:

<a href= http://www.Bigpicture.com on Click="return reallyLoad()">Load all graphics</a>,

Now when a viewer clicks on the link, the browser will display a warning dialog box that will make sure they are aware of what is about to happen.
