    I’m using Vista and InDesign CS 3 ME on 4 different machines.

    No problems to report.

    Running CS3 on Vista Ultimate 64. Zero problems. In fact, the whole suite runs beautifully.

    Good show, folks (but I’m glad you apologized for the tinny sound, or I would have pounced on you).

    Here in Norway, we call Greeked text for Swedished text . . .

    one word, “freakingsweet”. I think that’s one word, right?

    I’ve been running CS3 on Vista almost since the release of the OS. There were issues early on with Bridge and vector items going to the clipboard, but those were fixed in the first CS3 dot releases. Since then everything runs very well. The Vista prefetch feature makes loading the suite programs noticeably faster than under XP or Tiger.

    Hi David:
    Having failed the first ridiculously obtuse ID CS3 re-cert exam, I’m heartened to hear that you also shook your head at some of the bizarro questions in the revised test. Yes, the exam was easier than before (I passed), but as you pointed out in your podcast the test questions were not strictly confined to CS3 features.

    BTW, I’m wondering where A-M was when she recorded her side? A large tin can? ;-)

    Cari Jansen has posted a nice demo video of the Layout Zone script and how it might be used by a team of newspaper editors and designers:

    Sorry, but I have a repeatable problem placing images. If I have an image (that I want to replace), hit Cmd D, it works for a few seconds and then it is gone. I’ve learned to place it on the pastboard and cut and place into the image I want it to replace.
    I also was missing the modifier keys (shift and option) but that was a Quicken thing. Am I the only one and why me?
