Crushing instead of overset text

Hi all

This is probably a simple for anyone who knows indesign, but I spent the greater part of tryuing from two hours to work out and not luck.

Basically, I have a block of small text with a title in it but I was making the second half of the title does not appear, then it should be in excess. Right now when I drag the corner of the text frame, the text/letters will be condensed (width) so that it either still fits.

It's really really annoying me so if anyone knows how I can solve this problem I appriciate, sorry for the noob question.

Thanks in advance

You use a variable? This looks like it.

What is ID, a varaible is a single character and may wrap to a second line or go into the excesses. If you use a running header variable, try to use the Style version of character rather than the paragraph style and apply a character style to only the part of your chapter title, you want to show. This style of character should have only a name and not really to change text attributes.

  • overset text when creating background using the rectangle tool

    I met a strange problem that I can't solve alone, and I can't describe it well enough for a search engine to see if anyone else has experienced. I have a document with text and graphics on the page. I've created a header in the master document, but as soon as I tried to create a background color by dragging a rectangle on any page, it says that my header text is overset. I tried to send the bottom at the back of the document in the rearrange menu, always in excess. Tried to create the background on another layer below the text of the header... always in excess. Curiously however, when I clicked on the Red '+' symbol in the text box and click outside of it (as if I had to create a new text box to continue the overset text) will be the text magically adjusted comfortably inside its original text box (and no new text box is created). So I thought that solved the problem, but all the lines of text in the body of the document are always in excess. I have the piece longer than 100 boxes so I don't want to do it manually... and even when I try to adjust the text box to solve the problem "in excess", I have to drag the right text box at the edge of the page so that it is some text can reside outside the area covered by the master page background.

    It is clear that indesign is to see the bottom not as background at all and instead a foreground that covers the text, but what is weird is that this isn't matter if I send it to the back, and it affects all the graphic elements, text. Is it a kind of void master page that I'm missing/don't understand? Thanks for the help!

    It can be a text wrapping, try to select text block, then go to the object menu > text block Options > General > ignore the dressing.

  • It is Possible to prevent the overset text?

    Thanks in advance and hell

    With CS 5.5 on a Mac, I am formatting of a manuscript. I did 300 pages; all pages have a Master frame.

    So far, the text fills to page 212 - after that the remaining pages are blank.

    (I know that the book will fill up a little less than 300 pages when I'm done add things.)

    When I add text - or create a page break - for example, at page 100, my preflight Panel indicates that there is now an error: overset text.

    Text from the top of the page 212 (last page) has moved down fill page 212, and the box in excess will appear at the bottom of page 212.

    My question is: why not just text flow on page 213?

    (instead of creation of overset text).

    I have "Intelligent Redistribution" checked and also

    Add pages at the end of the story is checked and also

    Limit to master text frames.

    Is it possible to establish that whenever I add text, the text flows on the next blank page at the end - instead of in excess of text?

    Thanks again!

    OK, on the master page is a text frame where will your main text? You would have got an automatically if you checked the box Document Naster text block.  It is the main setting to which I was referring. If there is not (which I think would be a good thing), then your intelligent redistribution cannot function if limited to Master frame.

  • Safari with question marks instead of the text

    Several Web sites in Safari 9.1 showing many points of question marks instead of the text. I just proposed by Apple and done nothing. I have Imac (late 2009) OS X El Capitan 10.11.4.

    Question marks instead of the text is an indication of a problem with fonts.

    Open the book fonts in your Applications folder.

    In the fonts start menu bar click book fonts > Preferences and then click: resolve duplicates by moving the files to the trash

    Quit and then restart Safari to test.

    If this does not help, back to the font book menu bar click file > restore to the Unicode Standard

    Quit and then restart Safari to test.

  • "Data dashboard" version 2.0 list drop-down list seen only "one, two, etc.» Instead of the text Enum

    I am currently using the new data on an iPad dashboard 1. I'm coding in suite developer Labview 2012. I found that switches work very well when it is associated with a shared variable. I finally managed to get the drop-down list to control a shared variable of data type typedef/enum. This control very well within the Labview program, but on the dashboard of data drop-down list shows only the "One" "two" etc... instead of the text 'This' Enum 'As' 'Other' I can write back to the dashboard with a text conversion of the enum to the dashboard and place it in a display of string over the fall down. While this gives the operator a display of the current Typedef/enum, it is not very intuitive. They must select 'One' to view 'This' "two to display 'Than' etc...

    How can I get the dashboard of data drop-down list control to display the text of the enum instead of "one" "two" etc?

    I think the point was that your question belongs to this other forum, not the forum of LabVIEW.

    (I'll ask the moderator to move this thread i).

  • change the point size of overset text paragraph style

    Hi guys,.

    I can't work this at all.

    I want to gradually reduce the size of the text in a block of overset text.

    I want to reduce the relative size of each paragraph for example, body text style is 9pt and 10pt subheadings, so the body of the text should reduce 8.5pt and subheading 9.5 ft.

    myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

    myTextFrame = myDoc.textFrames;

    for (i = 0; i < myTextFrame.length; i ++) {}

    While (myTextFrame [i] .overflows)

    myTextFrame [i]. ParagraphStyles.everyItem (.pointSize) - is 0.5;.

    }

    That's what I have, but I can't seem to access paragraph styles.

    Any suggestions?

    [Jongware] pretty much answered that question in your previous post: reduce the size of the text in a text overset frame

    [Jongware] wrote:

    1. for (i = 0; i
    2. {
    3. {while (App.activeDocument.Stories [i]. Overflows)}
    4. app.activeDocument.stories [i] .pointSize-= 0.5;
    5. app.activeDocument.stories [i] .recompose ();
    6. }
    7. }

    (Note that the text of the story gets the same size. "I hope that this is not a problem with your text.)

    Yes, it says that all of the text of the story will have the same size text applied... but it is a simple amendment to add a loop for () to run lines 4 and 5 through each paragraph in the story rather than the full story. Try this and see how it goes.

  • I can auto adjust all the blocks of text with overset text?

    Due to several factors (change computers, versions of different fonts, etc.), I had to change most of the fonts in my text-heavy document.

    There are a lot of charts and tables in this 125-page document, and now most of all text frames have overset text.

    The new font is in fact identical to the previous one, however, there are a few differences that are causing it take more text frames. I tried to adjust the line spacing in my character and paragraph styles, but these do not seem to effect.

    Is there a way to automatically adjust all frames in excess to account for the new font?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure that the result will be 100% desirable, but there is a way to define all frames to auto-size...

    Run find/replace and choose the tab object.

    Down, choose the Document research: menu. Choose the blocks of text such as: menu.

    Click the icon of glass/frame next to the search Object Format field:

    In the Options of Format object search dialog box, choose Auto setting 'Off' on the text size Options > menu automatic sizing:

    Click OK, and then click the icon / window next to the subject of change Format field:

    In the change object Format Options dialog box, choose 'Height' only on the text size Options framework Auto > auto-size menu, and then click the up button in the Center in the framework - pinning proxy:

    Note: Another option for pinning would be better according to your presentations, but this setting will make executives grow at the bottom, which seems the most logical... in most cases.

    Click OK, and then change all.

  • Overset text is not in story editor

    Hi people,

    I can't do the overset text display or reappear in any other reasonable way. The editor mode just displays «#» (This is what is displayed on all pages). But I don't know that there is overset text because I can load it, but simply cannot place anywhere it will show. Also, at the edge of the box there is no red zone which marks usually overset text, but just a simple box empty blue. Don't get no error message in the preflight Panel.

    Because I structured the main part of the book with text in overflow, this means that the entire book is currently invisible.

    Furthermore, the text has been postponed when inserting a table of contents.

    I really hope that someone knows what could be causing...

    See you soon

    Lisa

    I don't think that there is some overset text.

    You can click in the empty outport of any image to say ID that you want to link this image to another, which would give you the loaded cursor that you describe, but that doesn't mean not there is additional text in the frame that did is not, only that if there is more text added that it will sink to the linked frame again if necessary. # Is the end of the indicator of the history, and you'll see even in a framework that contains no text at all.

  • Overset text question

    I'm in CS5.  I have a huge problem. I search here and gooled and still not found an answer. I have a text box that requires an overset text when there is still like a half inch or more space in the column.  I found on a website advice where this had happened to someone else and tried all the solutions, but none of them worked.  It is not a problem of "keep"; which is off. It is not a problem of setting. I have no source text page breaks. It is not in the table. It is not the tabs, they are fine. Is it possible to turn off and force him to fill the column? I even went up to delete it and start over. What never hOverset_text1.JPGOverset_text2.JPGPEL may be given wil GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

    It resembles a Dungeon options problem any and it is possible that the problem is in the next paragraph (defined for all the lines together, or more than fit AND there are keep an option to keep the last line of the paragraph that breaks with the first line of the new paragraph, which could be in the paragraph).

  • URL creates the overset text

    I'm pulling on my hair. I use since before InDesign InDesign, and I've never seen this problem before.

    I imported a Word 2007 document in InDesign 5.0. The text flowed includes URLs, and this isn't a problem... until I get to the one who creates the overset text. A block of text with full page, I have two lines of text at the top, and I can't even at the end of the document. The text is in excess to infinity.

    I looked in editor mode. I'm still working with characters hidden power. I deleted all styles of Word. I copied all the text in Notepad and pasted into a new doc DLI. I made sure 'No. Breaks' is disabled. In short, I did everything what I can do.

    An interesting thing is that if I turn the hyphenation in the paragraph, the rest of the URL is displayed, but the rest of the text in excess (additional paragraphs) does not work. I can't have a hyphen in a URL, however. And where is the rest of the overset text?

    Any ideas what's happening? Furthermore, I create a reference page for a thesis, and I have done this very thing much, much time (I'm an editor).

    Save me before I'm completely bald... Thanks for any help!

    Oversets like this can be caused by several things. More common is the text which is unbreakble and too wide for the column, which may be due No Break applied to a long string, no break allowed words and a long Word (or URL) or the use of the breaking between words, or left/right paragraph spaces indented this leave inusfficient space (these can be in styles or integrated in the frame). Some keep Options Association which is impossible to honor is also possible.

    You can insert a discretionary line break or a Space of width zero in your URL for you it break at the time of your choice, but ID typically will break a long URL with a slash or dot.
