111 InPage Questions And Answers
62⟩ I am intermixing English with Urdu but why the English text appears bigger than urdu text?
A 12 pt English text is bigger than a 12 pt urdu text. We have an option in the Typographic Preferences where you can set the 'Reduce Latin Font size' field. By default this is set to 18%. That at the same point size, English text will be reduced by 18%. You can modify this value to suit your needs.
63⟩ I am changing font but the font is not getting applied, How to fix?
This is because you have not selected the text to which you are applying the font. For all the character attributes (like font change, font size, bold, italic, inter character gap, baseline shift etc.) you will always need to select the text to which you are applying these attributes.
64⟩ When I open a file, I get a message "This is not an InPage document, How to fix?
Probably you are actually opening a document file of some other application. In case you are sure that you are opening an InPage document, then its quite
possible that on your last save the file was not saved properly. At this juncture you have the option to open the .BAK file and retrieve your document before the last save state.
If you get the above message (from opening the .BAK file as well), then you can try retrieving only the text portion of your document (without any formatting) by importing the saved file as a text file in a new document. When you use the Import Text menu item and you get a Import Text dialog box, you should choose the file type as Text File (*.txt). This will lead to insertion of some junk characters at the beginning of the document and after 8-9 pages you will start getting Urdu/Arabic/English text. You can remove the junk characters from your document and make fresh changes to this newly retrieved document.
65⟩ I have saved the file but when I open it I find blank pages?
Probably before saving, you had changed to Master Page mode. And if you do not have any object or if you have empty text boxes on the master page(s), it will seem that the document is empty. To rectify this, go back to document mode (by pressing Alt-Enter or clicking on Master Page icon).

71⟩ How to printing through postscript printers in InPage?
★ For Postscript printers, from the Options dialog you can choose the Advanced options button. In this dialog box, you can either send True Type fonts as postscript fonts or as Bitmap. For printing to printer without the downloaded fonts, you should select the Send True Type as Type 1 option.
★ If you want to print using already downloaded fonts, you should print through a printer driver which supports the following options. Adobe Default Printer driver or Accel-A-Writer printer drivers are two such drivers. Within the True Type font option set "Don't Send" True Type fonts. Also within the Postscript option check the "Do not download fonts" check box. Now if you print, the postscript file which is sent to the printer does not have font information. It just has the names of the fonts, and the font information it picks up from the printer. This is useful for a newspaper and/or magazine environment where you can download all the fonts you need. You can download these fonts to the printer memory or better still download these fonts to the printer hard disk.

To insert inline graphics inside a text box, you need to use the insert picture menu item. This is very useful for manuals and books where the picture should flow along with the text. Once inserted, the inline picture can be resized and cropped by first selecting it and then carrying out the desired operation.
To select an inline picture, you just need to select the picture character with either the mouse or by using Shift along with the arrow key. Once selected, three selection points appear. These selection points enable you to resize the picture. Note that you cannot move the picture because its left and top is decided by the characters before this and the line height. Similarly if you move the mouse over the selected picture, a dotted Hand cursor tracks your movement over the picture. If you now click on the picture with this dotted hand cursor, the cursor changes to solid hand cursor. You can now crop the picture by moving the mouse.
