Even the dimensions of the text box

In an InDesign document, I have two unequal size text boxes.  For the alignment of the layout and distribution reasons, I wish they were the same size.  To do this, I want to my making my small text box the same size as my largest area of text.

Put apart using the 'Info' feature and manually doing my little box the exact dimensions of big boy, is there a way to do this quickly?

Seems like a small matter, I know, but I wonder about this often enough during the design that I thought I would ask to get out of my mind.

What happened to just remove the small box and replace it with a copy of the larger box?

And do not drag a box to the right size. Just select the large box, look at the width and height of the control panel (window > control) and type or paste these numbers in the fields width and height for the smallest box.

  • How can I view the dimensions of the text boxes?

    The MUSE toolbar (if it is the correct name for it) to view the size - width and height of the text boxes, while I was working on page layout. This is very important with presentations of several columns that are not complying with the grid column - what types of old school like me know that * measures. (Not a description of PC, but that's what they were called in the publishing at least the last 50 years).

    Watch the presentation of my website http://www.londonsriver.com and you'll see what I mean.

    But in the latest version, that happened the next day - it disappeared. It shows the coordinates X and Y, so I can see where is the box (not that I really care). But it does not show the DIMENSIONS which is what I want. They used to be next to the coordinates on the toolbar or Ribbon or whatever this is.

    Am I missing something? I tried several options, but they do not appear. I may be stupid, but I want to just my rear dimensions. Bypass it is laborious: make the first box of the column, and then draw another box above it, and then drag on the second position. And so on. And very tedious if I already have two or three columns of text on a page that I re - works. What should I do? Guess? If they are "similar" to Muse they will even when the site is updated?

    I don't even begin to understand what many new features are Muse - perhaps one day I'll have the time to learn. Maybe my site is boring, but I come from the world of newspapers, is what it is and I know how to do. I want to just my size back!

    Thank you. And by the way, many thanks to all those involved in invent, develop, and deliver the Muse. I can now create pages in minutes, using the same basic page design and modification of the skills that I used for years - instead of living the demimonde of techspeak and coding where another website, construction tools wanted to take me!

  • Automatically put the cursor in the text box to start

    Hi guys

    On the picture below you can see a small piece of my FP. It is a part of a bigger FP for a pretty huge electronics test. Each PCB got its own series number of barcode. I have a drive that is connected to my keyboard. Then when I read the code bar, numbers will appear in the text box on my FP, IF i first click on the text box. Then the user must only press START to do the test. My problem, or wish, if you like, is that when the program starts, or a test has completed, the cursor/marker is placed in the text box, so I just have to read bar codes.

    Currently, the user must click in the text box before you read the code bar. Is it possible that this can be done by Labview?

    I n node property checked yet, because I'm busy to something else right now at work. Just write in my break.

    PS I would have found the answer in the forum, but I am from Norway, and not all of the language of the computer is easy to translate since I use windows Norwegians. I belive that it is called cursor or marker however.

    The property node "KeyFocus" attached here brings the cursor automatically in the text box.  Set the "Val (Sgnl)" blank to trigger the event associated with this area of text (if necessary).

    try to change the text in a saved file, but it will not allow isolate me the text, place the cursor in the text box or simply go back to remove.

    Hello

    in what format save you your file? If it's a jpg file, then the text is compressed and unfortunately PS is telling things as they are. Even if you could change the text before you save, after having been saved in jpg format, the text is merged and is no longer editable.

    A good solution is to save the files as PSD files, photoshop files. In this case, all layers are saved uncompressed and so your text will appear in its own layer in photoshop. All you need to do in this case to change it is the result of a three-step procedure

    (1) select the right layer

    (2) take the text tool in the tools bar

    (3) mark and change your text

    So the crucial question is: in what format you save your file?

  • Can't reposition the text boxes or picture!

    Hi, I'm having a problem moving around the text box and photo. Before everyone starts screaming 'check your bounding box', that's the first thing I checked, I also checked my edges and they are both correct. I can see the bounding box and I can resize the image, I can't just move it by dragging. Thank you

    Danielle,

    Not a suggestion, but troubleshooting: you can move with the arrow keys?

    It may turn out to be a sort of corruption, where you can try the list.

    The following is a general list of things you can try when the question is not in a specific file and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media, see below. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

  • Execution of SQL queries based on user input in the text box on the page of the APEX

    Hello

    I am new to develop in the APEX, and I encountered a problem...

    It is even possible to do such a thing: use the text box to enter a SQL query and then run it on my schema and display the results in the report item? And if the answer is Yes, can someone give me advice on how to do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    In my example, the text is from a file in a text box. The report source is a function returning the SQL query:

    DECLARE
       v_query   VARCHAR2 (4000);
    BEGIN
    v_query := :p91_sql_query;

  • Understand the text box

    I'm trying to understand and master the elements of text boxes in Muse.

    Why some text boxes seem to have a minimum size (sometimes) and cannot be resized to fit the text content?

    What does the line in dotted lines in the text box?  It seems to be linked to the entire text box, but I don't see how or why.

    It does not appear in certain text boxes?

    Why some text boxes have no effect on the BG Image.  for example when... Add text in an INFOCYCLER widget, text size box Exchange (even if there seems to be plenty of room for more text) and the bg image is contained in the size of the changes.

    There are many things that will come into force when we add the blocks of text that contains text, such as font, size, spacing between the characters, space after/before, space of text frame, text etc. frame border.

    The dotted line indicates a height for the text frame, if you drag the shorter than the text frame, the dotted line will appear. Muse inserts a style property called min-height in the code that tells the browser which frame should be less high and can develop in height, if the content he dictates.

    Text pixellisent if we use system so fonts on the browser, the text will be rendered as an image.

  • White type in the text box with fill with transparency

    This page of color in my INDD document a lot of transparency on this - in the following stacking order:

    1. downstairs are two boxes gradients covering the entire page.

    2. next is a background photo that's an advantage to feathers.

    3. then comes my text box that floats over a part of the photo in the background. The text box is filled with a gradient purple feather. The text box contains 8.5 PT. White type (Helvetica Neue Medium).

    4. a transparent dingbat straddles a corner of the text box.

    Where the white guy is pictured in the background, a color is reflected type. I have not noted on the PDF, but of course, the work of back of the printer, you can see.

    I thought all type except automatically eliminated black?

    I pulled out the file using PDFX-3 (1.3) because my printing does service provider ' t supports the 1.4. I underdstand this version flattens transparency. I scanned "Print Production Guide for transparency" Adobe and learned that the areas of complex transparency can cause unexpected results. Is what happened here?

    When I opened the flattening of transparencies and he asked to highlight objects with 'Text of Raster-Fill and Stroke' or 'Text described', this type area is highlighted. No other boxes on this page type were noted, even where it overlaps the background photo (which has applied feather).

    Several other transparent dingbats (such as duplication of the text box) are also highlighted as 'Raster - Fill and Stroke text'. They are all on the highest layer (type).

    This isn't a disaster - it's still readable - but the details of the publication who are affected, which is important. Maybe next time I won't be as lucky. What would I do different?

    It is possible in the more recent versions of ID to the value of transparency to the object, STROKE, fill and levels of content, and I suspect that you have applied your effects to the object level. I was able to recreate what you see as well by using the gradient feather tool and in the effect controls panel and using the pen it y to the entire object. Oddly enough, once the gradient feather tool has been used I couln can't access options in the effect controls panel or in the menu object.

    In all cases, if you can, select the block of text, open the effect controls panel or object > Effects > menu feather degraded, remove the gradient feather and reapply just the filling.

    If you are not able to do so, copy the text, delete the block of text and create a new and paste back the text, and then select the image and apply the gradient feather to complete using the effect controls panel or the menu object.

  • Table goes out of alignment in the text box

    I created a very simple table in InDesign CS5 on Windows 7, like this:

    1.png

    However, when you start typing in a cell, it goes like this:

    2.png

    To fix, you make the text bigger or smaller box and then resize it to what it is supposed to be. Also when I do a first page datamerge moves like that too, even if the rest is correct. When you export to PDF it comes out wrong as well. If anyone wants an example file that I can post it here.

    Anyone have any ideas what's causing the alignment change when text is entered into the table?

    Well, I think I see here the rub - if you left me speechless for a while there!

    So, I see that you have the text box that contains your table to help you align your table in the center of your page. (i.e. the box containing the text is organized around the outside of the page and the table is centered lef/right using point centering and up/down by using the command "Center" in the control bar. There is nothing particularly wrong with this method, I think it may be the source of your problems with alignment change unexpectedly.

    Looking at your file, I found that the removal of "Center" and change to the opposite to "align top" took the nervous behavior of the text box. It is more shifted when I tried to type. He however move the entire table to the top of the screen. For now we'll leave it there. Align the Page: Centre from left to right, Center t to b.

    Your final result should be an element that is always perfectly centered on the page, but which can be of type in without any unpredictable jump around!

    Now, we will select the entire area that contains the table. In the paragraph Panel, click "Left aligned". This will move the table to the top left of your document. Now, frame content. Go in the Align Panel.

  • Filling of LOV based on a value in the text box.

    Hi all


    Will have a form page, that contains a text box and select an item list.

    For example:

    Name of the Department: the text box
    Employee name: selection list

    I need to learn all the employee name in the selection list based on the service name entered in the text box.

    I can't change the name of this Department as a pick list, or select the list to submit.

    Every time when I entered a value in the text box the value of the employee name department name must be autopopulated in the movement of the tab.

    Can someone help me to achieve this?

  • Help to change all the text boxes in a book

    I'm new in Indesign CS4.  I want to format book for two sizes of printed book.  When I change the predefined attributes of Document it does not apply to the size of the text boxes.  How can we re - format all the dimensions of the text box at the same time?  The book is 600 pages - too many to go through and resize each page separately.  Thank you!!!

    If text blocks were originally from the master page and you have done nothing more text to throw in, you can change the frameworks of masters and the images on the pages will change also, but if you have changed the framework anyway after flowing text, everything you have changed now irreversible of the master.

    A second option is if the blocks of text are in contact with margin guides all around, go to the Layout > setting layout... and turn it on until you change the setting statement. Managers will adjust to the new margins.

  • Read the text box.

    Hello

    I have no experience with custom or even Javascript actions, so, my request is probably a very easy to solve, I had no idea on how to achieve this.

    Basically, I have a slide in this slide, I have a text box (slide 1). I have another slide with a text box (slide 2). I would like to have the text box on the slide 2 to have the same exact text in the text box in slide 1. If I change the text in the text box on the slide 1, the other text box would inherit the text thereof.

    TLDR; How to set the area text 2 to have the same text as 1 text box in a tip action. Practically ' box 2 == the text box 1.

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: I forgot to add, I am using Captivate 4.

    Hello, I'm not sure I understand your question straight, please could you give more details: something to do with the terminology. You talk about 'text areas' but in Captivate, there is text (added by the creator of the film) captions and text entry areas (where the user of the published movie will insert text).

    If you want the user to type text in a BER (text entry area) of slide 1 and have this entry on slide 2 in a text caption, you can do this:

    • Create a variable user (projects, Actions, the tab variable), e.g. vTekst (you are Dutch-speaking)?
    • create the TEB on slide 1 and associate it to the variable (in properties, Advanced tab)
    • on slide 2 create the text caption, select Variable to add to the formatting toolbar and add the created variable
    • which edition you will have the same text in the text of the legend (slide 2) car was introduced by the user via the TEB on slide 1.

    If you were talking about the legends of text on both blades, there is no simple way in CP (in Flash) to have an object (in this case the text of the legend) remaining for two slides, the only options are for the duration of the slide or project. But you can of course easily copy and paste the text in the legend.

  • How to follow the overview of the border of the text box?

    Hi all

    I really need an idea. I use the text box that is mobile. It moves when you drag.

    Now, I want to move only by clicking on the border. If you've seen the text box in powerpoint on that, if you place the cursor on the border it shows a + cursor.

    I would like to implement the same in flex. Does anyone have an idea?

    Thank you

    -CK

    Add a listener to the mouseMove event in the text box.

    ta.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);

    private var upperThreshold:int = 5;

    private var lowerThreshold:int = 10;

    private var leftThreshold:int = 3;

    private var rightThreshold:int = 6;

    private void onMouseMove(evt:MouseEvent):void {}

    var isOnBorder:Boolean = false;

    If (your .mouseY<=>

    isOnBorder = true;

    } ElseIf (your .mouseY > = ta.height - lowerThreshold) {}

    isOnBorder = true;

    } ElseIf (your .mouseX<=>

    isOnBorder = true;

    } ElseIf (your .mouseX > = ta.width - rightThreshold) {}

    isOnBorder = true;

    }

    If {(isOnBorder)

    define your styles and watch a mouse down event

    } else {}

    Remove your styles and the mouse to the bottom of the event listener

    }

    }

    In the example above, you also need to listen to a mouse out even so you can delete the styles and the unwanted event listeners.

  • Test whether the text box is empty - tip action

    Hello

    I have a form that the user is required to fill out. When the user tries to advance to the next slide, I would test to check that none of the text boxes are empty.

    Ideally something like;

    If ((Textbox1) == null) {}

    See the legend of failure

    } else {}

    continue

    }

    I know you can use advanced actions but I'm unable to set the null value. I even tried to create a new variable and leave empty and tests textbox against that, but apparently not worked either.

    I'm probably missing something simple as I am very new to Captivate.

    Hello!

    I had the same problem.

    The user must enter his name.

    I preset the variable of the text using the feature box "what would happen if you reach this slide." You can find it if you double-click the slide with your text box, and then find the area of "navigation". I have a German version of the A4 the names of functions differ...

    Declare the variable of your text box we'll say "ABC123".

    With a collateral action, you can check if the text inside the variable passed as ABC123 to something else:

    If

    variable_name is not equal to ABC123

    then

    ...

    on the other

    ...

    If the variable is always ABC123 I jump to another slide with an error message.

  • Reorganization of the text boxes so that they mix upwards or downwards

    Select each text box and if you use v5 Pages, visit the reorder menu and text wrapping set to None. Now, the text box are not repellent, and you can position them as you please. If you always use the Pages ' 09 and then again, select each text box and the Wrap Inspector, deselect object causes wrap.
