• Table header row gets cut off from view when the text block is resized

  I'm designing a table that has a header row, 6 body rows and 5 columns. I want the header skewed to 20º and rotation type of needles from the same angle. Knows someone who worked with tables, it is not possible to rotate the text to this value via the parameters of the cell, but the job is to split the table into two blocks of text. The lower sash will be the body lines, but the Executive must have the header where it gets skewed to the specified angle. The text must be created in separate and then cut and paste frames in each column header and then it can be rotated.

  The problem I have is when I try to drag the bottom of the text block to the top while the header remains visible, the header gets cropped view. The only way to prevent it from is Cup is I leave the first line in the frame, but then it gets skewed is not what I want. It seems that the block of text ignores the header still exists. The screenshot below has two tables. The top version is the one that I want to apply the effect to. The bottom has the effect, but his top line is a line of body (not a header).

  

  I don't think that it is possible to have a heading row without at least a body line in the framework...

• Slow down gradually by typing in the text block

  I read all the other threads regarding typing slow in InDesign, but I had not anything the problem that I am facing. My problem is that typing becomes gradually slow when you type in certain blocks of text, that is, it is fast when I start typing in the empty block, but as the text block is filled with the text, it becomes slow.

  I use two types of blocks of text on each page of my document: one with no style whatsoever and the other with a style of object including a border, two rounded corners and margins. This gradually typing slow occurs only in the second type of text block.

  I hit a relatively small (7 MB, less than 300 pages), file text without columns, cross-references, paste them from other applications, connecting blocks of text, or any of the other usual culprits for slow typing I've read about. Nothing else in InDesign is slow, including typing in the other type of text block (without borders, etc.).

  Any ideas?

  Its most likely the rounded corners that is causing the slow down.  Not sure how RADIUS helps you, but having to calculate how to keep the text with rounded corners is much more expensive than when the text block is a simple box.  A suggestion to help alleviate the problem is to break the document by chapter upward, so that you do not have the end of a chapter that connects the beginning of the next.  When you have a large number of pages of text all flow from one page to another, editing text in a page means that all of the following must be recalculated.  Break this cascade of changes from one page to the other will help with performance.  A disadvantage is that you need to be careful and watch the overset text or blank pages that passes at the end of each chapter.

• I'm doing a script that takes a list of e-mail from a text file and then allow me to select a save as a string. I found some ways to get the path of the file, but I'm in check by pulling the list

  I found some ways to get the path of the file, but I am defeated by pulling the list from that. the function of the path get gives me the path as "Macintosh Users:: Documents: extractedb.txt (myUsername).

  What I can't understand is how to get a dialog box to display a list that represents the content in the text file, I need to change the contents of the text file, I need the box to show me what I chose and I want to save my selection as a single string.
  e '.

  example of extractedb.txt information:

  [email protected]

  [email protected]

  [email protected]

  * has a random number of emails as well *.

  I want this is to pull those emails from the text file and turn them into a list so I can get to be a selection in my dialog box.

  Any help would be great = D

  Assuming you have a text file with your example e-mail addresses, the following AppleScript will read this file in a list (mf_List) and then use this list as input to choose among the list. Because multiple selection is allowed (control button), the output is sent to a list (sel_addr). We check if the Cancel button was pressed by testing for false and if this condition is met, we the script error.  Based on a single or multiple list item content of the list, display accordingly.

  game of mf to ((path to the folder as text) & "mail_list.txt")

  the value mf_List to {}

  the value sel_addr to {}

  the value mf_List to paragraphs of (read file mf)

  the value sel_addr to (choose from the list mf_List with title ¬

  ('Mail list' with multiple selections allowed without empty selection allowed)

  If sel_addr is equal to false then

  Error number-128

  return

  end if

  If length of sel_addr is equal to 1 then

  sel_addr display dialog box as text

  on the other

  the value Point to the text of TID to AppleScript delimiters

  the value Point text in AppleScript return delimiters

  display the dialog box elements of sel_addr in the text

  the value Text of point AppleScript delimiters to TID

• How to bind the text blocks between pages?

  Hello

  I searched all autour for this, and I'm guessing that the answer could be so simple that no tutorial it doesn't even mention:

  How can I link the blocks of text between pages? I made a block of text in each master page and then connected one left with the one on the right. Indeed, all of the text in the document is linked from the page on the left of the right-hand page. But how do I link the page on the right with the following two pages 'below' in the document?

  If I'm not clear, here is another attempt to explain: I'm going to insert a lot of text in a document, and I already know the size and the type of text block, I want the text inserted. When I put the text in the left side, it connects (goes on) the block of text on the right side. But it stops there. So I have to manaully through both pages, which connects the right page "at the top" with the left 'below', page by clicking on the image by clicking on the small arrow in the lower right corner, and clicking on the next page below. There must be a way to organize it in master pages or in some other way?

  Thanks in advance for helping me with this problem of small size, but huge!

  Two things...

  For "automatic formatting" to work with Captain linked frames page, you must NOT release the Master frame before placing the text, and you must click inside the image area, not any sort of guide.

• text block, no packaging, moving up like browser width decreases

  Hello

  I have a block of text in one of my breakpoints, that, when I adjust my browser window to check collisions, etc., he dresses not and moves upward into my position.  on all other breakpoints, wrapped as it should, and other blocks of text on the BP even behave as they should. I even tried to delete the offender and copy of text blocks in the operation, but he always does.  Any thoughts?

  See you soon

  06:00 here...

  delete the image under the text

  Insert a slider widget to empty library instead of the drop down menu on the right

  remove the arrows, next, previous etc just make a single 'keeper' for the image and add images in the widget

  size on page etc as the original image. Make sure that you use the layers panel to organize the slider under the text.

  which toured... I can send you your original with the change file if you are having trouble... nice site by the way.

• Muse: Text blocks the lower graphic States

  I created buttons with rollover States: Normal with a 30% opacity. Rollover, Mousedown and Active: shadow 100% more drop. It is related to the landing page. So far so good.

  I want the text for each button to be 100% opacity all the time (he has a shadow too) so it is easy to read (not spent 30%), so it is in a separate text block, also linked to the landing page.

  

  In preview mode, when I rollover, mousedown, etc. the button background works as it should (go from 30% to 100%).

  

  Until he hits the block of text. He text block "shields" (for lack of better term) the State and the button returns to its Normal state:

  

  I tried to solve this with layers without result. So... my question is the following:

  How can I get the text above the button in a constant state of 100% and do not have the text block are interfering with the States below.

  Of course, I forgot something. What Miss me?

  Thanks in advance.

  The easiest way to do this is to use the "status button" comes with Muse widget.

• C# / JavaScript how to set the primary text block?

  Hello

  I'm working with InDesign scripting API with c# for my work. I'm new to both the InDesign scripting API and using InDesign as well.

  I am building a gap of master, with blocks of text so that the text block on the left page of the cheese would pass in the block of text on the right page.

  
  

  I read there is the option block of primary text for the master spread, but I can't seem to understand how to use it.

  Is there someone who could show me an example of script code to define the framework of primary text for a master page/spread?
  

  
  

  Here is the code I have for now.

  The question I have is in line 53, where when I try to run it, it gives me a very generic error 'Invalid object for this request.', which leads me to believe I'm doing it wrong.
  

          public static byte[] CreatePageBasedOnCreatedMasterSpread(string savePath)
          {
              Application application = ActivateInDesign();
  
  
              // Create new document
              application.Documents.Add(true, application.DocumentPresets.FirstItem());
  
  
              // Get active document and change some settings
              Document document = application.ActiveDocument;
              document.DocumentPreferences.FacingPages = true;
              document.DocumentPreferences.PageWidth = 210;
              document.DocumentPreferences.PageHeight = 297;
  
  
              document.DocumentPreferences.CreatePrimaryTextFrame = true;
              document.TextPreferences.SmartTextReflow = true;
  
  
              MasterSpread masterSpread = document.MasterSpreads.Add();
              masterSpread.BaseName = "CustomMasterSpread";
              masterSpread.NamePrefix = "AC";
  
  
              //Set the document's ruler origin to page origin. This is very important
              //--if you don't do this, getting objects to the correct position on the
              //page is much more difficult.
              document.ViewPreferences.RulerOrigin = idRulerOrigin.idPageOrigin;
  
  
              Page leftPage = masterSpread.Pages.FirstItem();
              Page rightPage = masterSpread.Pages.LastItem();
  
  
              leftPage.MarginPreferences.Top = rightPage.MarginPreferences.Top = 10;
              leftPage.MarginPreferences.Bottom = rightPage.MarginPreferences.Bottom = 10;
              leftPage.MarginPreferences.Left = rightPage.MarginPreferences.Left = 30;
              leftPage.MarginPreferences.Right = rightPage.MarginPreferences.Right = 20;
  
  
              // Create a text frame. Do not add text to this, as this is a master spread text frame.
              // Link their flow together
              TextFrame primaryFirstPageTextFrame = leftPage.TextFrames.Add(document.Layers.FirstItem(), idLocationOptions.idUnknown, leftPage);
              TextFrame primarySecondPageTextFrame = rightPage.TextFrames.Add(document.Layers.FirstItem(), idLocationOptions.idUnknown, rightPage);

  I noticed the JavaScript API that is very similar to c#, so it would be useful if I get a response from JavaScript.

  Hi Michael,

  Basically, you can do something like this (in ExtendScript):

  //Store value:
  var storedPreset = app.documentPresets[0].createPrimaryTextFrame;
  
  //Let's set it to true:
  app.documentPresets[0].createPrimaryTextFrame = true;
  
  //Add the document, name the master as you wish etc.pp. :
  app.documents.add
  (
  
      {
          documentPrefreneces :
              {
                  facingPages : true
                  ,
                  pageWidth : "210 mm"
                  ,
                  pageHeight : "297 mm"
  
              }
      }
  
  );
  //Reset to stored value:
  app.documentPresets[0].createPrimaryTextFrame = storedPreset;

• Eratic behavior: book, the main text blocks and Cross References

  I'm on InDesign 2014.2. Mac.

  I'm working on a fairly large book. About 14 chapters / sections, about 400 total pages. There are also hundreds of cross references, almost all of them to anchor references.

  The design of the book is as simple as possible. There is no graphics, text blocks only.

  I use a single master page, with facing pages, and a block of text type. I used it throughout the production of the book, and the primary text flow worked well, chapter after chapter. Pages have been created automatically, and automatically flowed text.

  Maybe I need to change the page size of the book, and I also have a lot of editing to do which will reduce a lot of the chapters. I wanted to make sure all pages use the main text flow to do that, go as gently as possible.

  To my dismay, I discovered that although I used systematically throughout the book master text streams, all but three of my chapters have inexplicably lost their text stream. All images in these chapters have converted into ordinary images. That I edit the book, it's playing havoc with paging and referrals.

  I tried to restore the flow of text in one of the first chapters. It's easy to do, in theory.

  • Move the first page off to the side frame
  • Delete all pages except the first page
  • Command-shift-click on the first page to restore the flow of the main text
  • Copy and paste the contents of the old frame into the primary stream restored.

  
  

  When I do, the pages to move properly, and I'm back to having a chapter with a block of primary text on each page. Unfortunately, this breaks all cross-references that refer to this newly reorganized chapter and all references to the front in this chapter.

  
  

  I tried to do all that I could imagine. Only remove the frames and not pages. Try without the busy book. Nothing works. I tried the command update cross-references in the book menu. Has nothing.

  
  

  It seems impossible to redistribute the text in a new primary master framework, without completely breaking the cross references.

  I finally found something that seems to work:

  • Create a new master page at the end of the document.
  • Go to the last page of the history of the chapter and the last history image a link to the text block type on the page that you just created.
  • In the pages palette, delete all pages in the document, with the exception of the master page that you created.

  All text will be redistributed within the frameworks of masters, and cross-references (to and from the frame) seem to be intact.

• Paragraph text block position

  I have a paragraph object returned by a search. I want to know is when it appears in the text block. I did only need to know if it appears at the beginning of the page. The pages will still be in a uniform position, but could be pages either right-handed or left-handed.

  From what I see, I could use basis, as this will tell me that the Y axis, but that would change if I changed the size of police/leader in the future. As it is 2 columns, either, I could also get a false positive on the baseline way if my paragraph appears at the beginning of the second column.

  Anyone have any suggestions on how to prove if a paragraph at the beginning of a page?

  I don't know if it's the best way, but I solved my problem now. I used the text parent block, found the first paragraph, then against the content.

  If (paragraphToCompare == myTextFrame.Paragraphs.firstItem ())

  {

  ...

  }

• Master Page does not work for the text block

  What I am doing wrong?

  I create a master page.

  It's a given size, 6 X 9

  It has a margin.

  It has a text box with a heading for chapter headings.

  So far so good.

  At least I have substitute her in the following pages, it seems fine.

  However.

  I want a footer (for page numbers) so that I place a footer on the bottom.  Let's say it's an inch of height.  Right now it has nothing in it.

  I want a block of text that falls between the header and the footer, so I can run inside without having it encroach on header or footer.

  The header seems protected.  But.

  No matter how much I try and do all that I do, "foot" does not appear on the following pages.  Nor does the text box.  The header area is "taken", but the rest of the page is at stake.  Not "foot".

  Help, please.  It's driving me crazy.

  Thank you.

  Thanks, Willi.  I thought about it.  Sometimes I'm so tired of banging my fool head against a wall.  I wanted to have coherent text blocks in my pages.  I didn't think I didn't NEED them.  The footer has appeared in the following pages as soon as I put SOMETHING in the chassis.  A variable.  When it is empty, the space is considered as unoccupied.  Duhhhh.  Time to go to sleep!
