Automatic text in CS4 flow doesn't flow into master text frames as it did in CS3... What gives?

I just changed CS3 CS4.

C3S, I created a master page with a block of empty text. Then I when I use the thing in function of flow auto-text on a standard page, it would automatically generate new pages and throw in my block of text type text, I created the master page. Now, in CS4 when I do exactly the same thing, he throws some text in the new text blocks and NOT my text block type that I created on the mastr page. What gives?

BTW, these aren't virgins docs I open but models that are already set up and in use by my company, so I can't start a new doc.

Will there be a new parameter in CS4 that prevents the text flowing into the block of text type that I created the master page?

It's incredibly disruptive and frustratiing, please help... I just went back in CS3 ID for l ' moment.

The main text blocks must be EMPTY.

  • Automatic text flow stops at Midway

    I'm trying to put a Word Document and have the auto-enchainement, adding new pages to accommodate the entire manuscript. I threaded text frames (two columns) set up on my master pages.

  • CS4 automatically resize the height of the text frame to the baseline of the last line of text

    Hello

    Does anyone know of a script that automatically resizes all the heights of text frame in a document so that the bottom of each text block falls on the baseline of the last line of text in the text block? The image height must be determined by the text appearing and does not effect excess or stories of threads.

    Thank you!!

    As text blocks have a property 'lines', lines have a property 'base' and executives have a 'geometricBounds' property, this quickly written javascript should do the trick for a block of selected text:

    app.selection[0].geometricBounds = [app.selection[0].geometricBounds[0],app.selection[0].geometricBounds[1],app.selection[0].lines[app.selection[0].lines.length-1].baseline,app.selection[0].geometricBounds[3]];
    

    (Whaddoyouknow: it can be done in one line)

    So let's loop over all the text blocks in your current document:

    allf = app.activeDocument.textFrames;
    for (f=0; f

  • Master CS4 CS5 editable text frames is no longer editable

    Hello

    Problem: Text blocks on the pages of document CS4 (from locked on masterpage text blocks) are more editable on CS5 document pages.

    Location of CS4:

    MasterPages contain blocks of text that are locked to prevent users from inadvertently move them when working on pages of a document.

    On the pages of a document, the text frames can be edited, i.e. text entered, but are locked in position.

    Problem CS5:

    When you now open the same document, text images on the pages of the document are fully locked, the positioning and content. In other words, that they are more editable! The only way I found to make them editable once more is to unlock the text blocks. But unlock also removes the lock on position.

    What should I do to get things working in CS5 as if they were in CS4? Any solution quick or is - it simply is no longer possible?

    Confused by InDesign, once more...

    You can have the old behavior by going into preferences and allowing the selection of locked objects. It is necessary not only for the placement of content in a closed setting on a model, but to be able to align and distribute operations with a 'key' object

  • Bookmarks PDF failed, cannot connect text frames

    I did some research, and the question above is usually because there are flows of separate text for the title of the chapter and the body of the text. It's true. Our chapter model a left & right page and a title page. The title page has just a stream of text "chapter title."

    I have tried to solve this problem, but immediately ran into a new problem. If I try to connect the text frame of the chapter title for the text block body either on the left or right page, I get the following error message:

    "This connection is not possible.

    You can try to connect two blocks of text which would result in a circular text stream, or you can try to connect to a stream of text of PostScript Code. »

    I looked, and the title of the chapter is not connected to anything I can say. Its text does not work anywhere else, and try to go on Page layout-> disconnect Next/Previous/the two just told me he is not connected to anything. If I look at the properties of the object to one of these blocks of text, none of them are marked as PostScript Code. I am at a loss here.

    Any ideas on how to get bookmarks that come out in the right order? We can repair the bookmarks later in Acrobat, but it is a tedious extra step that we sometimes forget. As far as I know, our model was made before the time of our current team. (none of us are really 'experts' on FrameMaker)

    FM treats the stream in the order they are created. Default FM documents already have a cast in place, in order to add the feed to the chapter title that would put after the first default one. If you try to connect the end at the beginning, i.e. to create a circular flow

    Create a new page master first with areas of text required in a single stream. Use the default text box located on the page when FM adds the new page master (usually you use the right page as your model for the first page) and shrink down to be the chapter title section, then add a new block of text to the page for the rest of the content [you now add this text frame/flow after the first]. After you add the headers and footers on the master page to check that the page layout is now visually the same. Remove the first old master page as a last step.

    You will probably have to remove the chapter title text blocks in other documents before importing the new provisions that FM will leave just these are in place and the new & old frames would end by lying on top of the other. Also copy & paste the chapter titles in the mainflow before the update so you don't lose the content.

    [Note: anyone who created the model was probably less than an 'expert' that you are now]

  • My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

    My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

    Hello

    You mean the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

    If you do, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

  • graphic block obscures text frame, even if the text is on a higher layer

    I have a page of photos, each in its own framework and each with its own text block containing the caption for the photo. Behind all this and covering most of the page, I created an image of basic graphics in which I placed a picture as the background. I've done several times before, as recently as last month. This time, for some reason some unfathomable background obscures the text captions, as if the background was on a top layer (but it isn't). But he isn't obscuring the photos, only the legends. Another strange thing: InDesign error text in excess, which is clearly not. I tried to juggle the autour layers to see if that would solve the problem. No dice. The only thing that makes visible captions is to completely remove the graphic block. I tried just using a fill color in the frame, instead of the photo in the background, but the result is the same. I also tried to reduce the opacity of the fill/photo, but all that is to reduce the color in the white frame (the color of the page), it doesn't make transparent. I can make the image smaller, and this makes the text 'behind' it visible. But the color/background < rectangle > is the purpose of down in the layers list. It just does not behave like that. One last thing: I can go to the layers palette and hide the rectangle of <>by clicking the eyeball, but she is hiding it, it does not show the text 'behind' she captions. I suspect that an update shifted to creative cloud can be loaded here.

    You have the text wraps not enabled for your background image, it pushes the text out of the text frame, which, of course, is causing overset text and you you see is not the text more. Select the inage background, choose the skin for Windows and click the more to the left to turn it off.

    Ok. Here a slightly advanced version.

    You must not assign your text BACK forward; the script will format all of the text in the history of RTL.

    The text block rotates 180 °.

    All characters rotate 180 °.

    Scripting language is ExtendScript (JavaScript) for InDesign. Should be compatible with CS5, CS6 and CS5.5, CC.

    Not compatible with CS4 or below.

    try{
    
    var textSelection = app.selection[0];
    
    //ENHANCED FEATURE SET:
    
    //Rotate characters (does only work on paragraph level?!):
    textSelection.paragraphs.everyItem().characterRotation = 180;
    
    //Apply WorldReadyComposer to all paragraphs of selection:
    //CS5, CS5.5, CS6 and CC compatible
    textSelection.texts[0].paragraphs.everyItem().composer = "$ID/HL Composer Optyca";
    
    //Set all characters of selection RTL:
    textSelection.texts[0].paragraphs.everyItem().keyboardDirection =
    CharacterDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION;
    
    //If you want to edit the text later in RTL this is also necessary:
    textSelection.texts[0].paragraphs.everyItem().characterDirection =
    CharacterDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION;
    
    //Rotate the text frame to 180°:
    textSelection.parentStory.textContainers[0].rotationAngle = 180;
    
    }catch(e){alert(e.message);exit()};

  • Problem with the text frames and photo...

    I use InDesign CS4 and design of a newsletter. My frames are not stated with the solid lines, but rather with weak points. In addition, they aren't boxes the same real, they have an X, with the top and bottom of the X closed. Is this normal? Things will work correctly as I move forward and begin inserting text, etc. ? I can't find any options to change that and what I tried did not work. Thanks a lot for your help.

    Not a problem at all (well, maybe a little).

    The x' are only the rectangles are created with the Rectangle frame tool, rather than with the Rectangle tool - or, indeed, with the text tool. X definition will disappear as soon as you click with the text tool inside. They must indicate the two different basic objects and can get a different default value object style applied.

    The usual way to draw a framework designated to receive the text is a drag with the text tool.

    The dotted lines can be a problem - which indicates the frames are created on a master page, rather than on the page you are working on. You can not click on type and in a setting which is located in a master page. Must be "freed" first (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Double-click, with the black arrow). There are arguments for and against defining managers text on master pages. You'll have to decide for yourself what to use.

    This image shows rectangles and rectangle frames on a master page (left) and "immediately" on a normal page (right):
