Running CS3 or OSX and suddenly when I bring up my separations preview palette I have nothing there. Has anyone else come across this before? Is it a simple fix or a re-install (lol really don't have time for re-install!!)
Thanks again, in advance!

First thought in my mind is to close InDesign and dump the InDesign preference file. Disregard if you've already tried that.

Hi Joe
I knew you'd answer me - but because my brain is in overdrive I can't think of where to find the preference file - can you please guide me?
Thanks again :)

Beyond the first step that Joe's mentioned...I guess if it were me it'd be Repair Permissions. Clear caches with Cocktail, or similar utility. Run fsck. Maybe applejack after that. Does sound app-specific though.   :undecided:  Most of those wouldn't take too long.

A quick way to do it... Quit Indy. As soon as you re-start, hold down Command-Option-Shift-Control all together, (be quick).  (Windows = Control+Alt+Shift).

Only in our own minds...which is all that matters, ultimately.   :laugh:

High five on the assist frailer. Thanks. Or should it be a fist bump? :laugh:
