CC text frame re-flow?

Just upgraded from 5.5 to CC and a feature that I found particularly handy seems to have disappeared, or miss me a setting. I looked through preferences, but don't think I've seen what I was looking for.

In CS5.5 and previous, when you drag the width/height of your text around the text inside the box would be automatically re-sent to adapt to the area while you had your mouse clicks to the bottom.

Now in CC, the text won't be re-flow until you release the mouse button, resulting in duty click and resize several times to adjust the text correctly.


I bet it's just a setting that I missed, any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

  • Text frame re-flow problem

    When I have a full text of the text block and I resize the image using the handle of the frame on the right say - CS6 (and previous) the text would automatically be re-flow - this does not work in CC. Also if I have an image/PDF imported, in CS6 if the handles of the image were move you could see all the non-visible parts image gray, ideal for the culture placed ads etc.. This does not work in CC. Are there settings/preferences that have changed.

    Last update of inDesign CC running on Win7.

  • 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]

  • How to select objects based on a list written in a text frame?

    I want to choose objects whose names appear in a list in a text frame, but he cannot know.

    Let's say I have 200 items with very specific names that never change, like 'Polygon001', 'Polygon002', etc, and I put some of these names, classified or not, in a text box (or frame), comma - or CR-separated by tabs. I want to make a script that reads these names and selects the objects with the same name, so I can color, copy them or whatever. Is there a way to read such a list for this task? I'm new to scripting Illustrator and I think that would help me a lot when characteristic coloring in maps or copy a region to zoom-in.

    Thanks in advance!

    This should do what you want

    function list_to_selection(){
        var doc = app.activeDocument;
        var sel = doc.selection; // this will be the text frame
        var str = sel[0].contents; // get contents of text frame
        sel[0].selected = false; // deselect text frame
        var names = str.split(','); // split the string
        for(var i = 0; i < names.length; i++){
             // remove any white space from start and end of each name
            names[i] = names[i].replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,'')
            // get each item by name and select.
            doc.pageItems.getByName(names[i]).selected = true;

  • mount the text frame

    If installation (Cmd + Alt + C) text the text frame moves to the upper left corner of the text block. Is there a simple way to change this?

    You may need to explain why this is unexpected.

    By design, (if we agree with the design decisions or not), the resize frame is "pinned" top. When it contains left-justified text it to "attach" in the top left. Center-justified pins at the top in the Center and justified to the right pin at the top right... but it's always TOP... regardless of the applied vertical justification. I don't think it can be changed.

  • 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.

  • I can't text IMPORTER in InDesign CC without the Red Cross at the bottom of the text frame.

    Hello, I would like to import a manuscript of several pages, since OpenOffice Mac, in InDesign CC on online tutorials I see that all this is accomplished without problem. The import takes place directly on several pages.

    But when I try, I end up with a single filled text frame, and the small red cross at the bottom of the frame indicating that the text is too long. I do not want to paste the rest of the text with the mouse page-by-page. Can you please help me!

    Certainly it is stupid but I am looking for two days!

    Hello

    I don't know what specific solution can be found using ID 2014 CC features in the user interface, but a generic way might be to create a function and call it for each page of a doc. The function would be:

    • collect all pageItems (table)
    • Sort by geometricBounds [0] value (ascending)
    • Browse and:
    1. each active element of time is that a girl textFrame ==> placed his last PointInsertion as a destination
    2. otherwise ==> Miller point in current destination (not sure if original visibleBounds are essential to be copied)

    It assumes that the order of the pageItems can rely on its superior position.
