Block of text that can dilate or contract contain content provided by data fusion

I'm designing a document for use with the data merge. One of the fields over a background apears dark. I'll make the text box white with black letters. The text data merge will engaged in this framework is highly variable - on some pages, it is only one or two characters, on the other is a long string of 3/4 ".

Is there a way to make this framework automatically expand and contract to fit the length of the string?

Until CS6, the answer would certainly not when you use the data merge, but there are small new features that extend the text blocks and contracts contain the content. Have not tried it myself and have not heard of someone trying with data merge, but if you have CS6, you have a gold opportuninty to try it and be a pioneer.

    Hello

    It is not currently possible to review the data the application integrated in activity or training on this basis. If you want Apple to consider adding this feature, you can suggest here:

    https://www.Apple.com/feedback/watch.html

    However, health and fitness data from other sources, iPhone, and Apple Watch are registered and grouped within the health on iPhone app. These data can be exported, which you may find useful to track the cumulative progress and/or analyze your activity more in detail.

    IPhone app activity also has a button for sharing (top right of the screen) that allows to share data - including social media, Messages, Mail, Notes, and a printer.

    Include third-party applications that can be useful, for example:

    Access to QS

    -"Access your HealthKit data in a table so you can Explorer using numbers, Excel, R, or any other tool compatible CSV."

  • Warning message DM10826 gendata executing (merge area of text that can shrink/grow on image who can not grow)

    I am currently in conversion of Documaker 11.3 to 12.2 GENDATA executing, I get the following message:

    DM10826: Warning in TextMergeParagraph(): attempt to use a fusion of text box that can develop on the < JACKETPAGE > image that may not develop. Processing will continue.

    I have a text box in the section JACKECTPAGE, which has the option of resizing 'can grow and shrink"selected.  It's because I have a tag embedded in the middle of the text box. "Section of the form options" in section JACKETPAGE that contains the text box has no 'can shrink and grow"selected. If I change the JACKETPAGE 'options of the form section' to select "can shrink and develop" the warning message goes.

    Couple questions:

    (1) what are the ramifications of the selection "can shrink and grow" on the form in the section option?  I really don't want something on the shape to move.

    (2) if there are no ramifications of selecting this option on the 'section of the form options' there an easy way to find each section that has a text box that is reported as "can shrink and grow", so that I can mark proactively forms associated to eliminate these messages?

    Thanks for whatever help you can give on this subject!

    The message is actually an old, so I'd be surprised if you get the message earlier, from 11.3 to 12.2. Unless maybe it's because you didn't use previously model Studio MRLS and you are now.

    The message indicates that a text in growing area could potentially push objects out of the limit of the section or even exceed the limit itself, assuming that you have mapped in enough data. It is simply a warning.

    If you know that your content can really develop beyond your article or if you know and wait for the result in case he does, then just ignore. Or if you know there is enough space for the content to grow within the section without overflowing the border (because you have a blank space at the bottom), then you could define the can develop on the section and prevent the message. Your choice really depends on what you prefer.

    However, if the text in full expansion box can push indeed of objects (or itself) outside the boundary with the data that you are mapping, then setting the adjustable size on the section will affect your output. When a section grows in size, allows you to adjust the position of the remaining sections on the page. If you do not allow this, you could have contained overlapping, if the text box has pushed something outside the boundary of a section.

    As for whether there is a way to globally existing sections to grow, I'm not there. The version you have now automatically tries to define the section can develop when you edit an article and add a dynamic text box. However, you can still turn off if you do not want it on. Which does not affect the existing forms or sections that you have in the library until you had to edit the sections and edit a text box.

  • Creating multiple lines of text that can be changed in a single line

    I just changed an Illustrator file that a designer of course put in place and it has set up so that there are several lines in a column of text that are related to some how while the first line of text can be changed and the rest will change with him. How configure you it to do this?

    Actually, I need to know how to basically set a text box created, then copied it 10 times in a column, but the top text field can be edited. When the top is changed it automatically changes all other lines as well at the same time. Thank you for getting back to me well. I thought about it.

    Basically, what you have to do is create your initial text field. With the text box selected, you go to your panel of skins and click the effects at the bottom of the Panel and choose deformation & transform > transform. Then in the transformation dialog box you choose how the copied text boxes to move (left or right), and then how many copies you would and press copy. All you have to do is change the text box, and each of them will change at the same time.

    This is actually a pretty neat feature and will allow me to save a lot of time when setting up projects.

  • How can I add text floating to a clip? (not a title, floating text that can be moved)

    How can I add floating text? Or is it possible to move the title autour text, how do I do?

    If you can not get the desired effect using the scrolling credits, the Far Far Away or the titles of Ticker,

    the only way that I can think is to create a file with the text you want on a green or blue (outside of iMovie) and put it above a green or blue background element in the timeline panel.  You can then use the image in the photo installation and creation of keyframes to move the text on the background.  See http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mova1aaa682b for more details.

    Share/export this file, then import the file and place it above your video clip.  This time, use the blue/green screen so that the text appears on top of your video.  See http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/mov82da1338a for more details.

    Bulky, but should work.

  • Style of text that can be changed to auto-update of any instance of this class in the same project EA.

    In programs like Dreamweaver and Muse, we have a range of properties/tool to define and styles of text and stored to be reused and editable - so if you say change all the titles under the project in a different typeface, color, size etc. you can just change the settings in the css Panel (or equivalent). How do you do that on board? It must be possible, right?

    I use Edge animate 2015.

    Thanks, Shaun

    Hello

    You get by using code. You can browse your composition.

    Code tested with edge 6.0.0

    SYM.$("p") ==> returns paragraphs. If a collection.

    SYM.$("p"). each () ==> browse each item.

    SYM.$("p"). each (function(index,item) {}

    Console.log (sym. $(item). ) CSS('font-family')) ==> returns the family of police for each item

    } )

    Therefore, you can create a conditional statement.

    SYM.$("p"). each (function(index,item) {}

    If (sym. $(item). ) CSS('font-family') == "sought fonts") {sym. $(item). } {CSS({... new font...})} ;

    } )

    Note: jQuery is not necessary.

  • GeoGebra prints a PDF with printer acrobat, its text that can be selected or not searchable.

    I want to join the pdf but it does not seem possible. So I'll put a link http://elinkage.net/1.pdf here.

    The created pdf file is certainly not an image. Nice looking for smooth fonts which is fully scalable.  Just can't believe that the text is not selectable or searchable.

    Thanks for all comments and solutions to correct the issue.

    The characters associated with the field points are represented by actual fonts.

    The rest is shown characters (an image using vector graphics).

    Open the PDF with Acrobat Pro (any version).

    Go to the content panel.

    Lotsa - Lotsa entries 'Path '.  Almost all are these characters Graphic image.

    In short - nothing can do a 'find' or a 'research' on as it is not more not less than an 'image' - no 'real' text (a prerequisite for any search engine to 'find' or 'Search' or built a search index).

  • Deleting all the blocks of text hidden unexpectedly removes blocks of text embedded (but visible). Why?

    I try to use the code below to remove all the blocks of text hidden in a document. It is works quite well, BUT for some reason, removes the visible anchor text blocks.

    (the argument currentTextFrame.length is to prevent it remove hidden text blocks if the content is threaded, in which case the text is redéroule then in blocks of text that is visible.) I need to find a solution to this, but it's tomorrow problem.)

    I have a similar function to allGraphics and does not remove the anchored frames.

    Can someone point me in the right direction? I can add a check to see if the text block is anchored, but I fear that I might get bored the biggest problem.

    Hi Naomi,

    and there is an array of arrays with:

    myDocument.stories.everyItem().textContainers
    

    Try this:

    var a = app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().textContainers;
    for(var n=0;n
    

    I suggest the following, which should work:

    var doc = app.documents[0];
    var myStoriesArray = doc.stories.everyItem().getElements();
    var storiesLength = myStoriesArray.length;
    
    var textContainersToRemoveIDs = [];

  • How to change the text and block of text together by specifying the measures

    Hi all

    I have a block of text that is 200 mm wide (for example) and must be able to scale proportionally, as well as the text that it contains, by specifying the new width in mm (rather than as a percentage). Can someone tell me if this is possible? I use InDesign CC 2014.

    Thank you very much

    Jason

    Just use either scale field in the control panel (NOT the height or the width area - those who say % use) and enter any value and the units of your choice. No units specified by default, %, but if you add mm, pt, in, etc. to the value ID will do the required calculations.

  • Overset text when you create a block of text to another object

    I apologize if this has been answered in other discussions, but the search function does not work now. I am trying to create a block of text on top a .pdf bound. I can create the block of text, but as soon as I enter the text, I get the text marker in excess on the frame, despite the fact that the frame is big enough to accommodate the text that I entered. This happens if I simply enter a single period.

    If I click on "mount the frame to the content" he develops vertically the text block until it is large enough to have a part that leaves at the edge of the linked .pdf below, and the text that I entered appears here. Of course, now, I have a block of text that is 20 times bigger that I need, and I still have no text in the position where it is needed.

    Here is a link to a screenshot:

    I'm still a newb on InDesign, and I hope that there is an easy solution to embarassingly on this point I should have, but any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    You probably dressing applied on the structure with the PDF file. Either remove it, or open the options of text block for your frame on top and check the box to ignore the dressing.

  • How to replace a block of text by an .ai file?

    Hello

    I am writing a javascript script Illustrator open a file's get a block of text in the layers/pageItems by its content, then replacing it by a placedItem to the incorporation of another file .ai (shape slightly).

    I managed to get the pageItem and to create the placedItem in this way:

    ...
    var item = mainGroupElement.pageItems[i];
    if(item.contents == 'X') {
      $.write("X found\n");
    
      var walkingManFile = File("D:\\walking-man.ai");
      var walkingManItem = mainGroupElement.placedItems.add();
      walkingManItem.file = walkingManFile;
      walkingManItem.embed();
      var scaleX = item.width / walkingManItem.width * 100;
      var scaleY = item.height / walkingManItem.height * 100;
      walkingManItem.resize(scaleX, scaleY, true, false, false, false, 100, Transformation.CENTER);
      var deltaX = item.position[0] - walkingManItem.position[0];
      var deltaY = item.position[1] - walkingManItem.position[1];
      walkingManItem.translate(deltaX, deltaY, true, false, false, false);
      walkingManItem.trace();
    
      item.remove();
    }
    
    

    'element' typename is TextFrame.

    'WalkingMan' form is well drawn, but not translated and resized at all. However, scaleX, scaleY, deltaX deltaY values seem to be good.

    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

    I'd appreciate any help on this!

    once incorporated, walkingManItem no longer exists (like placedItem), then the reference is lost. Get a reference to the new article created by the embed() method and proceed to your script.

    Today, arrived at page 59, I tear my account wanting to reread and in reprinting all on page 33, a block of text telling key figures disappeared.

    Looking at the page in indesign, the text field is always present but empty, when I try to delete it it crashes the software, when I try to delete the entire block and gathered around the page, the software crashes also.

    I can continue to complete pp. to that date, to other blocks of the modifier... etc. But I have a bug of this... I have to necessarily solve.

    I have changed the preferences in indesign, revived the software, the mac... I tested the file on another software on another computer that the coup d'etat plant also...
