Bottom of page title Variable text document

I am fairly new to InDesign and done as much research as possible before this announcement. I took a class of three days for InDesign, but we never had in variables.

It is a technical document template I created. What I'm trying to do is to create a text variable that takes the "Document title" info from file. This variable would put the title of the document in the footer of each page of body in my document.

Thanks for any help!

I don't think there is a variable which can take the title of the file info, but variable "Header running" are designed to take the some piece of text that appears on a page in your header or footer. If the title of the document does not in fact appear, you can add as a nonprinting part on the first page and use that.

But I wonder if you still have a variable in this case. The title of the document, no doubt, does not change throughout the document. Why would you need a variable to pick it up? You can simply type in your footer on the master page and it will appear on all pages based on the master.

  • Bottom of page interferes with text entry

    I'm a newbie with InDesign CS6 rank. I have a document preset for 3 columns. If I enter text with Shift-click, the text flows properly column to column as I want. But if I apply a background first color page (using the Logframe tool and filling), then I can not enter text in the column, but instead, it goes into the background space. And if I have everything first enter text and then apply a background color of page, it covers the text and I can't object-organize-send to the rear, because the function is not active. What can I do to get a page background color AND be able to enter text in a column so that it automatically empties into the following columns?

    1. Use of layers, the background should not be on the same layer as the images or text or page number, I use for each one its own layer. You can lock the layers to protect it from accidentally changing.
    2. Use the object Styles, for each type of text, color or picture frame. Specify it.
    3. Use character and paragraph for any text Styles.
  • Title of the document repeated on each page in paragraph formats

    How can I associate the text entered in the main master page to other paragraph styles used in different templates? Basically, if I had to change the title of the document on the front cover, the same change would cascade through the sections where the title is provided in a different paragraph style?

    You could also use text linked with the tool switch and place content, check the link and use different styles.

  • When I create a file, why the PDF is text aligned on different pages of my word document?

    I am trying to create a PDF of a document Word Mac.  In the conversion process text seems to shift - which was on the bottom of the first page in the Word document appears on page 2 of the pdf.  Any thoughts?

    It's normal. Word past stuff from one page to the other whenever he likes. The key is to make sure that this does not damage your document, for example never typing page numbers or using returns to finish a page.

  • What would cause the mouse to scroll slowly on Web pages, but normally on text documents?

    I have a strange problem. I have a Logitech M305 mouse on another machine which is too slow scrolling on Web pages. I ordered a new mouse, but today I noticed the old mouse normally scroll in text documents, even though the text document is displayed in Firefox (such as the "subject: config" page).

    Normally, a page will scroll 3 lines for each click of the mouse wheel.
    On Web pages, it changes and it takes 3 clicks of the mouse wheel to get the page to scroll.

    It is troubling to move the mouse wheel and don't have anything happen until the third click.

    So the question is, what would make the mouse wheel behave differently on the Web pages and pages of text, and how can I solve this problem?

    BTW, this is a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit. I use the same exact type of install now on another machine with a mouse Logitech M510 and normally scrolls on all pages.

    OK, a final report on this issue. Yesterday, before installing the new mouse M325, I decided to uninstall the Logitech SetPoint software. I wanted a new installation of the software for the mouse to go with the new mouse.

    To my surprise, after the set point has been uninstalled the old mouse M305 scroll normally on pages of text and Web pages. It seems that something mysterious happened in the relationship between Firefox and the original installation of set point. Firefox made some adjustments or updates of its own regarding record just as it does for modules, I saw it happen a couple of times before. /shrug

    New mouse + set works perfectly with FireFox now and the old mouse M305 + setpoint is now works well with an old laptop XP Pro, at least as long as the button pop-up gimpy holds.

    Solution, in this case: uninstall the Logitech SetPoint mouse software, and then reinstall a new copy of it.

    I can scan a text document directly in the Pages?

    The Pages ' 09, or Pages v5.6.1 allowed scanner captures in a Pages document. You need to use a snippet and use the file menu: import from a Scanner. Then you can copy/paste this PDF pages result as an object. If your scanner is equipped with optical character recognition software, it can convert the text in PDF, Word or text document.

  • I received a text document that went into another language, how it translate to English?

    I received a text document that went into another language. I don't know what language it is. How to get English, so that I can read it...?

    * original title - please help! *

    Go to a page of internet translator like Bing Translator or Google Translate and paste the body of the text file in the text box for the foreign language. This can be done by opening the text document by pressing on Ctrl + A (e.g. Select) then Ctrl + C (e.g. copy). Then, place the cursor in the new place and pressing Ctrl + V (for example the dough). Let the program automatically detect the language of the source if you are not sure of its origin, and then click translate to the English equivalent.

  • former Illustrator files will open only in the form of Simple Text Documents

    I went back to an old project Adobe Illustrator I have not opened for years but suddenly need to recovery. To my horror, I discovered that I can not open ONE of these old files HAVE. In the finder, each of these files is shown not as an .ai file, but as a "simple text document. When opening, it does is display a text code page, not my graphics HAVE. I'm currently running AI CS5 on Mac OSX 10.8.5. I would greatly appreciate all useful advice - what someone might have on this subject. Y at - it HAVE a plug-in available for update old files? No matter what?

    Thanks for your help!

    Frank Gresham

    Hi everyone who responded, or interested:

    I think I found the fix, courtesy of the Mac guru at the University where I teach. If I just add the suffix .ai on behalf of all of my files, they instantly change to read Adobe Illustrator files! Couldn't be simpler, although it raises a question. These files will open very well without needing to be done with the file at the end of each title designations. Now, suddenly, they need ".ai" after them to open properly. Well. At least, I have a solution to this problem.  Thanks for all the good advice!

  • Get the value of the Variable text

    Hi all

    How to get the value of the Variable text. I want to check the value of variable text title in each page.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Robert S

    myText.textVariableInstances.everyItem (.resultText) would do it.

    The representation of a TextVariable on the page is a TextVariableInstance. They are objects of 'text' (parent may be: cell phone, change, note, Note, history, TextFrame, XmlStory). The "resultText" property is the string that the variable instance currently shows. See Adobe InDesign CS5 (7,0) object model JS: TextVariableInstance

  • The top of page 2 appeared at the bottom of Page 1

    Top of page 2 is now appearing at the bottom of Page 1 and I can't seem to understand how to bring it to the appropriate page.  I searched on Google and he suggested starting point tool.  In order to better explain what is my problem... in Word (and the document has been created from a form; not a Word document) I would have used a page break.  Unable to find anything like that.

    Sorry for what a quesiton of novice.

    Yes even if they say that you can convert to a doessn can't word Document it keep the word line breaks and the line ends with a return.

    You must do some editting before you can reuse.

    Other applications (for Mac and can be the same for PC) who turns to the Office of the PDF document. I don ' know there if do it better:

    Nuance PDF Converter for Mac

    PDF2Office v6.0

    Solid PDF to Word

    Wondershare PDF Editor Pro

    They can do better.

    It would be actually better so have a backup to: text.

    This way when you open it in Word to automatically on formatting a Word Document if it was introduced, to a vacuum worrd Document.  You will always have to redo any design of forms.

  • Variable text and graphics

    I just started using InDesign for the formatting of books. I created a text variable to use as a head of the race with each chapter at the top of the page name. The problem is: I want to incorporate a small graphic symbol in the head of the race, next to the name of the chapter. I put all the elements on a master page, but since the length of the variable text changes with each chapter name, the distance between the graphics and the current title changes. Is there anyway to integrate a graphic in the variable text itself, so it remains constant with changing text?

    Thanks for any help.

    You can not put the image in the variable, but it looks like you want it next to the variable. What you can do.

    Place the graphic symbol in current title after the variable text, or, if you already have put as a static picture, cut the frame and paste it into the text after the variable. If he has pasted or placed in the text, it will be an anchored frame and it will be able to move in the text moves (as the variable takes up more or less text).

  • Impossible to enter the title of the document when you use the model of two columns left navigation

    I use DW 8, two columns left navigation model to rework my company Web site. My level of experience is probably beginner (known in Web design database and update existing sites; minimal associated style sheets).

    From the model mentioned, I created a template for my business site and saved it as "template.dwt." Then, I created a new page using this template. I click in "Title" and type the title of the page, but it defaults to "untitled document".

    I tried to follow the message thread of beachnut2 to "Model has locked the title of the document", but got lost. I followed the advice of Murray "create a new page. Save it as a template with FILE | Save as
    Model. Look at the code. The code on this new model, I created is as follows:

    <! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional / / IN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" >
    "< html xmlns =" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml "> "
    < head >
    < meta http-equiv = "Content-Type" content = text/html"; charset = iso-8859-1 "/ >"
    < title > Untitled Document < /title >
    < / head >

    My model based on the two-column template is as follows:

    <! DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional / / IN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" >
    "< html xmlns =" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml "> <! - DW6->"
    < head >
    <!-copyright 2005 Macromedia, Inc. All rights reserved. ->
    < meta http-equiv = "Content-Type" content = text/html"; charset = iso-8859-1 "/ >"
    < title > Untitled Document < /title >
    < link rel = "stylesheet" href = "2col_leftNav.css" type = "text/css" / > < / head > "

    If I do the above tag looks like the blank template, I created, I lose the stylesheet link before the < / head > tag.

    Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

    Thank you for your quick response. I thought I had followed your instructions by creating a new document and save it as a template. The mistake I made was selecting a new basic HTML when I was selecting the new model basic HTML. This time, I got the correct tags, the copied on my model and it works now. Thank you for your help.
