• How to align the two side by side anchored objects in InDesign.

  I put a Word document in my InDesign doc and there are a number of images. They came as embedded images. Some of them I want to appear side by side or in a grid of all kinds. I'm not too familiar with anchored objects. Is there an easy way to align the ups and downs (i.e. ensure that the images are of the same height as the other) so that when they are side by side, they're aligned? Whatever I do for them seems to move them a little bit, but they are not perfectly aligned. Because I can't pick them out and do a typical line up as I would with ordinary objects, I don't know what to do. Sorry if this is a stupid/easy question. Thank you very much!

  • Right-click on the selection of an anchored object and choose anchored object > Options.
  • In the anchored object Options dialog box, choose Customize from the Position menu and click OK.
  • The subject will probably move when the dialog box closes, but because it is now a Custom anchored object, you can drag to reposition.
  • Alignment of an object embedded custom to other objects cannot be done with the control panel features line up because the anchored objects select individually, but with benchmarks commented under tension, you should be able to logically position.

  Note: you can of course always UN-anchor an object if you want. Simply select cut, press ESC to kill the active insertion point and paste.

• At the end of my mind: placing anchored object inline with text & wrap

  I never learned to InDesign that I had granted.  Once I managed well with Aldus Pagemaker.  But I just spent the last two hours trying to solve a huge gap in my knowledge and I can't do it.  I'm exasperated and desperately need help.

  What I want to do: I have a tech with a lot of text manual and did need to place graphical objects in a way that the text will be around the object and if I need to edit the text, the graph will move with which I inserted the chart.

  What's happening:

  1. I have a block of text with the text.  I place the cursor at the beginning of the paragraph, and then click file > place, then choose a graphic.

  2 using the selection tool, I click the image and then click the 'wrap around bounding.

  3. the text moves a tiny bit but not wraps around the object.

  4 object is, however, / rooted, inline with text.

  OR

  1. with nothing selected, click on file > place, then choose a graphic.

  2. I place the graphic on the lower part of the page on an empty space.

  3. I move the chart on the text and then click the icon 'wrap around bounding.

  4. the text flows but when I change the text, it does not flow in the graph.

  Conclusion:

  I'm retarded.  I even went through the example of Lynda here: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0073 I was able to place my object in its document and look at the wrapped text to flow around the graphic text.

  I read the help documentation (I'm a big fan of reading).

  The only thing I can think is I put my text box to the top wrong or I don't know.  I'm so frustrated that I seriously almost in tears.

  My sample document (I am under a NDA and cannot release my original document, but I have reproduced what I did in the other) is here to someone who can tell me what I did wrong.  Thank you kindly.

  You are not delayed. Text wrapping is not intuitive with anchored objects.

  For items online, dressing affects only the text after the inserted object. For custom anchored objects, it only affects the text beyond the line where the anchor point.

  Often, this means that you do intuitive tricks to get things working as you want, like putting the anchor in its own paragraph, or advance on where you thought, it should be.

• Legends and anchored objects - there must be a better way to do

  I spent a lot of time in the last six months, reconstruct PDF files in InDesign. It is part of my regular responsibilities, but I do a lot more of him for some reason any. Because I send you the text of these rebuild on documents for translation, I like that all of the text in a single story. It really helps to have the text in 'logical order', I think; When I prepare a trifold brochure, I try pretty hard to make sure that the order in which readers will read the text is reproduced in the stream of history throughout the identity document.

  So I'm rebuilding a manual as a form of 3 columns on letter paper and it is full of legends. Full of em. They are not pull quotes, either; each of these has unique text. Keeping in mind that I would like the text of those legends to stay in the same position in the text once I connected all the stories and exported a RTF for translation, which is the best way to handle them? What I do is insert a frame drawn emptly as an anchored object, size and position to sit above the text which is supposed to be shouted. When my translations come back, so they are always longer than the source document, as I crawl through the text, I resize the anchored images to match the size and position of the new extension translated the text and then move them in place with the keyboard.

  There must be a better way.

  It is better, right? I don't actually know too. If I really want to fill these frames anchored with text, I can't screw the them in the history. I suppose I could just put on the frames of the legend and assign two RTFs for translation instead of one, but then the 'logic' of my text order is thrown out the window. So, I am asking myself "what's more important? reduction of formatting time or maintenance of the flow of the story? "If there's something that miss me let me to dodge this decision, I would love to hear about it. The only thing I can think would work like this:

  (1) reproduce the text of the legend in the history with a custom sample "Invisible."

  (2) create "CalloutText" parastyle with "Invisible" swatch and apply it to the caption text

  (3) Insert the anchor for framework anchored immediately before the content of CalloutText

  (4) send it out for translation

  (5) while I'm waiting to get him back, write a script that would be (don't know if this is possible):

  (a) to scroll through the main story looking for any instance of CalloutText

  (b) copies an instance of contiguous to this style to the Clipboard

  (c) look back in history for the first preceding the instance of CalloutText anchor

  (d) fill the object anchored with the text on the Clipboard (that's where I'm really naïve)

  (e) implement a new parastyle the text of the legend

  (f) continue step by step through the story, looking for other instances of CalloutText

  If this is really the only decent solution, I'll simply go to the Scripting forum for more help with d). Any of you can make other suggestions?

  N ° there is no plugin dependencies (as long as you do not use

  APID version 1.0.46 - who had a bug that caused the warnings warning). Round-

  trigger by INX dirty not the text. If you return

  using the most recent version of the APID (version 1.0.47 pre5 and later - not)

  really yet published), plugin data should be preserved as well.

• Make custom arrowhead. Cannot use spacing customized to an anchored object that is "path"?

  Hello world

  I build a model to use for the preparation of the documents for the brand of the company. I'm trying to find an easy way to make custom arrows that we will use for the legends (see below).

  

  What I want to do is to find a quick way to create this arrow to use for captions in my document. The main elements are the tip of the arrow 2-tone and the circle for a tail. I know that Indesign has a tail of the arrow circle but the problem with its use, it is that the color should be the same as the race and also the size of the circle is determined by the size of the race. As far as I know, Indesign does allow you to change those.

  I tried to use this type of path:

  http://InDesignSecrets.com/making-custom-arrawheads.php

  It works very well, but you can still see the path because the path is flush with the edge of the anchored object and the end of the path is visible behind the anchored objects. I think to be able to define these objects anchored with custom positioning would solve this problem. The problem is that I don't think that Indesign lets you define objects anchored to the positioning personalized text on a path, because this option is grayed out in the anchored object options.

  I was wondering if there is another way to create an offset for anchored objects or if there is a better way to make these custom arrow heads.

  Could there be a way to use objects from a library to create custom arrowheads? Also, is there a way to do this while a style object so that arrows can to shoot quickly and then simply apply the style of the object to get the correct formatting?

  I know that this is not possible and may have to be done manually, but I'll try to find a quick and easy way to make these arrows so that other people who have to use this model won't screw up their.

  Any help/ideas would be appreciated! Thank you all!

  Jacob F.

  Well, if anyone is interested, I sort of solved the problem.

  First, it was decided that the rounded tail of the arrow and the line should use the same darker green color. I still had solved the problem of adjusting the size of the circle but this trick of Eugene Tyson that:

  change the size of the arrowhead?

  Once I did, I made a style of object out of it, so that I can quickly draw lines, and at least add the tail quickly.

  As far as the head is concerned, I still have not found an automated way to do, but I have an easier way than what makes from scratch. I was directed in the right direction with the help of type on a path, but I was able to get the arrow flush with the end of the path and not past it. I saw a tutorial on Lynda.com, that shows you how make arrowhead custom and found a missing piece of the puzzle. It turns out that InDesign uses the same grips that you get when you add the type on a path in Illustrator. The trick to get the anchored object overlap the end of the path is to adjust the object anchored using these handles... After that, the axis of the anchored object y can be adjusted manually with the selection tool. Note that only the y axis (which is actually your baseline) can be modified because InDesign does not allow embedded objects that are typed to a path using a custom positioning. At this time, I don't bother centering the text on the path because the y-axis for my form must be adjusted in any case.

  So that's the solution I came up with that. If someone wants to share a solution better or more automated, I would really like to hear it.

  Thank you!

• the best way to build a layer Anno... Anchored objects... Script?

  I did some research on this problem for a while and decided that a script may be what I need...

  I have a 100% manual. The next step is to add an Anno ("annotation" or "teacher) layer on the student text, to create the version of the book, which will be sent to teachers. This layer must be able to be easily toggled so that we can keep a Master file for the SE (Student Edition) and (teacher YOU Edition).

  The text of Anno is 100% Magenta inside a white box 90 per cent of fill with a light shade. The easiest way would be to just a layer separated from Anno above all. BUT... in the future when changes are made which change the length of the line, the Anno layer must be changed manually to match the text editing. We try to avoid this.

  It would be great if I could place the Annos as objects anchored in text and then move the objects anchored to their own layer... but I can't do it. I know objects can have turned on/turned off visibility in the layers palette, but it is heavy to turn many individual objects one at a time on many different pasta spread. (It is a book of 500 pages).

  Is there a way to create these anchored objects - many Anno objects through many differences - and in some sort link them together so that they can be turned on/off at the same time, or somehow that it would be easy to the toggle the tag?

  Other suggestions?

  

  Anno boxes can go anywhere on the page, even on the existing text.

  

  better yet, you can use the conditional text in indesign feature, which was created specifically for this problem (I think that used official documentation actually editing teacher vs student of a document to illustrate how to use)

• How to change the paragraph style to each paragraph that contains only one anchored object?

  Hello

  I have a document in word that should be converted in indesign. The document contains instructions, each step followed by an image.

  I managed to import the document into Indesign and applied a paragraph with numbering style to everything (text, image).

  Now, how do I change the the paragraph style to each paragraph that contains only an image? I need to get rid of the numbering.

  Thanks in advance.

  If the images are all anchored objects, you can use find/replace to find the anchor point and change the paragraph style only once for all paragraphs.

• Is anyway for anchored objects to still be top of the line?

  When I copy an object (say a picture) in InDesign with the tool move (V) selected and then paste it into the text sometimes it's above the line and sometimes it's online. Text wrapping seems to make no difference.

  When I copy an anchored object that is well above the line and the text flows around him and then somewhere paste it elsewhere in the text, it turns into inline. How can I get these always being above line instead of having to change all?

  Change one of them to be above the line (preferably the first time you anchor)

  With the anchored object in the desired position - go to object Styles and create an object for your anchored image style and apply it.

  Now, copy and paste the object to another location in the text.

• [CS4 |] JS] move anchored object does not change its geometricBounds

  Hello scripters.

  in my Indesign document I anchored objects like sidenotes, sometimes they are overlapping.

  To do this, I'm trying to move until they overlap, I used the following script:

  myInlineRectangles [k] .move (undefined, [0, -2]);

  I put this line in a while loop to move the object (until he do not overlap).

  It works, it moves the object (although I read that it is not possible). The only problem is that the geometricBounds remain the same.

  As I am comparing the geometricBounds in my "all-State" it ends in an infinite loop.

  Why the object does not change its geometricBounds after moving?

  How to avoid this?

  Thank you very much in advance for any response.

  Franzi_ska

  Hi franzi_ska,

  You will need the story containing the anchored object to recompose to get the new geometric limits (after each trip and assuming the anchored object can, indeed, move).

  Thank you

• What should I do when iTunes post TV episodes in the wrong order

  I know it seems like an easy task. But what I do when iTunes TV post TV episodes in the wrong order.  I know that this seems to be a first world problem of the same (and it is) but showing bad episodes out of order is so infuriating.  And I paid $ first world over it.  Apple iTunes Australia displayed the 6 episodes of the ITV television series "Lewis" - twice MORE than two episodes 5 and 6.  I know now who is the murderer - I don't know who was murdered. I paid for the series. And I paid for it in the right order.  And... I saved these episodes so that I could enjoy together.  Now my night was ruined.  And you are right - no one died (except in the series, of course), but I don't want to let this pass.  The issue of small things. My annoyance issues!. He does.  And I paid for a product that I did not.  I called Apple support, not because personally, I want to get repair, but because no one should have to have the same experience that I had, and it should fix it, quickly, not in another 24 or 48 hours when someone (for the content provider fix it because according to apple, it's their fault) gets finally around him. When is watching a murder mystery - when the murder is solved before the murder.  VERY ANNOYING. I'm certainly not alone?

  With a playlist, you can organize tracks in order any you want. iTunes normally the media played in the order indicated on the screen.

• SMS messages that appear in the wrong order

  I've had this phone for 1 week verizon's version now, and from the beginning I was using Message + for texting. Since yesterday I have SMS messages or send/recieve began to appear in the wrong order. For example, USUALLY the person who finally got a text Message from their conversation thread is displayed at the top of the list. Now, it's not happeneing. In addition, in a conversation thread most recent SMS sent/received message does not appear in consecutive order. Rather, older messages (from yesterday) will appear at the bottom, and to see the latest messages sent/received I need to scroll to the top of the older posts. Why my texts appear without all of a sudden? Any ideas?

  Message + is not an app Sony stock so if you have a problem with it either to your network or the developer of the game store for example to bring that to their attention

• Why skin does not work on an anchored object?

  Hello.

  I have a (custom-place as opposed to online) anchored object itself:

  

  He has a style applied object and (as you could see in the snapshot) the style of the object has text wrap appllied to it.

  Why the anchored object only are the underside of the film and not the right and top?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  For custom anchored objects cover only affects text after the line where the anchor point.

• Select the anchor of the anchored object marker

  Could you help me find the script, select the anchor as the character marker in the text of the anchored object already selected.

  It would be

  app.selection[0].parent.select();
  

• Anchored objects are transparent

  Thanks in advance for the help. I'm using CS5.

  I have a document have been multiple anchored objects, ended by overlap. My problem is that the anchored objects have transparency them I can't delete the value. Things to note:

  • Transparency goes away if I release the anchored object.
  • I have an object assigned to the anchored frames style, but there are style overrides that I can't erase the anchored objects.
  • I do the object style assigned to anchored objects changes have no effect. Only the box 'options of anchored objects' attributes change anchored objects.

  Any contributions to this issue would be great. Thank you!

  Looks like maybe that transparency is applied to the text in which you anchor.
