No. But, you can make a hotkey for it.
From top menu: Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.. ( Ctrl+Alt+Shift+K )
Just select Palette menus from the drop down list and then Animations. Once you've given a hotkey press Accept.
( Make sure to listen to photoshop when it warns you if the inserted hotkey combination would override any existing ones. You can try to use ...

Assuming there isn't a reason why it has to be the Google-copyrighted maps you use, I'd use OpenStreetMap for this (the open source wikipedia-style Google Maps alternative).
They're virtually identical but with three clear benefits in this case:
They have a step-by-step guide on exporting to Illustrator. There isn't a simple process (more below), but it ...

With Area Text, you need to use the bounding box handles to resize the area text box. Any other scale or transform tool will alter text as well.
You can also use the Direct Selection tool (White arrow) to click and drag the side of an area text box.
And Brendan's answer absolutely applies as well.

In Illustrator, there are two ways to control your basic block of text:
Point Type object: Select the Type tool, click on the artboard, then press Paste.
Area Type object: Select the Type tool, click and drag on the artboard to create a text box, and then paste the text into there.
You've been doing number one; number two should get the behavior that ...

The simple answer is: No.
I have asked Adobe to add the feature. If you'd like to see it, please vote here:
Photoshop: It would be good if the roundrect vector tool corner radius was editable during and after drawing
And now some good news. David Jensen has written a nice little script to help. It's not perfect (doesn't handle multiple shapes on the ...

So it's just two adjustment layers you need to add? I'd create an action to add them, then use a batch (File → Automate → Batch) to process all the original files. You can include a Save For Web command in the Action to save them to a known location, as well.
Should be a fairly quick job to set up, and it also shouldn't take long to stomp through 138 or ...

Go to brush panel, Select Shape Dynamics, Select Fade as the Control type of Size Jitter.By increasing the length of the Fade you can control the how quickly it transitions from thickest to thinnest point. Having this approximate the length of the line you are stroking will likely yield best results. Additionally the Minimum Diameter can be set to ensure ...

According to what I understand from your question, the Illustrator file has the letters in curves or outlines, and not in text. This means all information about the font has been lost, and you only have a "drawing" of the letters. So it won't let you edit them.
If this is the case, you will need to re-add a text layer in Illustrator, with the russian ...

The guides option is not selectable because you have no guides created.
To create guides:
Your rulers are already activated, but if they weren't you'd press Ctrl + R to show them.
Click on the ruler and drag it out to wherever you want the guide to go.
Now go back to your dialog. Guides is no longer grayed out.
This is a pretty basic topic...In the ...

As for fitting text boxes to text.. see the script in your first question link. That's the only method I'm aware of.
The fill issue is MUCH easier to solve.
select the area text with the Selection Tool (black arrow)
Add a new fill via the Appearance Panel
set fill color and drag the fill below the Characters item in the Appearance Panel
With the fill ...

Blends won't work for what you are after. The reason is you're looking to get artwork to align to basically one side of a path. Blends align to the center of paths in all cases. And, as you've discovered, blends don't rotate artwork based on their spine. Blends only rotate artwork if the artwork creating the blend is rotated.
First: Use this basic technique ...

Have you tried using compound paths? Select all of your paths that you'd like to combine, and select object > compound path > make. Alternatively, the keyboard shortcut is command+8 (ctl+8 for windows) This will definitely allow you to apply the gradient across the entire set of paths.

I believe this is what you're after. I've always thought it a strange practice but, Adobe has provided it's own fonts directory going back a long way.
Windows Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts
Mac OS Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts
I believe some font managers also allow you to activate a set of fonts based on application.

Select the paths as you normally would using Shift-click with the black arrow path tool, then Ctl-C to copy and Ctl-V to paste. There's no need to use any other modifier keys.
If you want to copy multiple paths within the shape layer by Alt-dragging, press Alt, start to drag, then add Shift to constrain the movement.

Good question.
Best answer I can give without seeing the actual files is....... Possibly.
If you work in CS6, then save to CS5 or any previous version (legacy) you can find the files have changed. Appearances can be flattened or expanded when saving to legacy formats.
For example, the Gaussian Blur was updated in Illustrator CS6 (and vastly improved). ...

Select what you want
Ctrl + G (Group Selection)
Ctrl + C (Copy)
Ctrl + N (New file)
Ctrl + V (Paste)
File > Save for Web & Devices then on the right switch .JPG to .PNG, then you also want to uncheck at the very bottom under the .PNG options where it says "Clip to Artboard"

I figured it out based on this post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/758287.
I had Rightzoom running in the background and once I turned it off, all was well. I hope this helps anyone else and thanks for your help @tehMacDawg.
Whew!

When creating the second circle start your click-drag and then hold down the shift; that should constrain the proportions without creating a second shape (if you start with the shift button held down Illustrator thinks you're trying to add to the shape you want to subtract).
To remove one shape from another; select both shapes, make sure the shape you want ...

Try the following:
Select the layer you want to copy.
CTRL+J to duplicate it.
Right-click the new layer and select Rasterize Layer Style.
CTRL+ click the shape icon in the new layer in the layer palette to select it and press DELETE to keep just the effect.
EDIT: Missed the part about the color overlay, my answer works for the drop shadow and other ...

Things changed slightly in Photoshop CS6 from CS5.
To move a vector mask from a layer to another, hold command and drag the layer thumbnail from one layer to another.
To copy a vector mask from a layer to another, hold command-option and drag the layer thumbnail from one layer to another.
The same technique also works with groups, so you can move or copy ...

I'm not quite sure what's going on in your document but I have a theory from my previous experience:
This situation can happen if you place an uncropped spread-sized box or file on your first or last page. When InDesign creates a booklet imposition it sometimes may overlay the front cover with the uncropped part of the back cover.
If my theory has anything ...

Certain objects will not allow the stroke alignment options. Type is one of these objects. While creating outlines of type objects may work in some instances. I, myself, prefer to keep type live whenever possible.
In order to move a stroke applied to a type objects, simply do things how they were done prior to the stroke alignment options being added - with ...

Styled Maps Wizard ( link ) does the job.
It does have a pretty good instructions that show up when you open up the website.
Those instructions can be accessed at any point with the help button at the bottom of Map style panel ( shown in the image below ).
Beloware the styles I used to create the static map on the right and in this link.

If you did need the effects of the colour overlay / blend modes as well as layer styles, which can get lost in Rasterize Layer Style, there's a simple workaround I quite often use:
Hide every other layer (alt-click the eye symbol)
Select > All (ctrl+A)
Edit > Copy Merged (ctrl+shift+C) which copies the output of all visible layers as one (you must be in ...

If you undo while in the middle of drawing a path, you can click the last point in the path to let Photoshop know that you want to continue drawing the same path. This also keeps it on the same layer.
Also, if you set the Pen tool to Shape, it will keep drawing on the same layer (but the path won't be connected unless you click on the point you want to ...

If the objects move only a few pixels, might this be related to the notorious Align to Pixel Grid option? When creating a new Illustrator document for screen media, there is this option in the 'New' dialog box that is activated by default. (It helps avoiding blurry lines in the artwork when creating graphics for screens...) If you've been creating a new ...

There is a better/easier way, that took me about 5 minutes (because I wasn't familiar with your file).
Here are the steps:
On the main timeline, put your cursor on Frame 40 in the top layer and press F5 to extend the timeline.
Press "V" to show the instance properties, and then change the symbol type (of the instance on the stage, not the symbol in the ...

InDesign files are very different from their other Adobe brethren. Each version brings key changes in how the page is structured. I'll leave it at that.
Here's a discussion that provides an answer to your question. Essentially, you export to IDML format and hope for the best.

In CS5, you can just click the object with the Artboard Tool and an artboard will be created around it. (You can then click the original artboard and delete it if it's in your way.) Is that doable in CS6?
In Save for Web for CS6, look in the Image Size section on the right and you should see a checkbox to "Clip to Artboard." Toggle that to see how it goes ...
