How to change the text and block of text together by specifying the measures

Hi all

I have a block of text that is 200 mm wide (for example) and must be able to scale proportionally, as well as the text that it contains, by specifying the new width in mm (rather than as a percentage). Can someone tell me if this is possible? I use InDesign CC 2014.

Thank you very much

Jason

Just use either scale field in the control panel (NOT the height or the width area - those who say % use) and enter any value and the units of your choice. No units specified by default, %, but if you add mm, pt, in, etc. to the value ID will do the required calculations.

  • I don't know how to change the size and quality of the text on the screen on Windows 7

    I just installed a new Windows 7 but I don't know how to change the size and quality of the text on the screen.  I tried all the things normal, resolution, size of icons, dpi etc but nothing gives me what I want.  The text in clear 'wonderful' thing is just terrible.  When I go through the 4 steps I see no text boxes which make the text nothing better.  All options are terrible, so the result on screen is too terrible.  When I do any huge I do not get a full screen of things - view the Start button disappears or I did not closing small cross at the top - of the suggestions to inprove the situation?  I must mention that my screen/monitor is 2006 - I need to buy a new one?  How much is this Windows 7 is going to cost me, or maybe I should go back to XP!

    I sincerely thank all you smart "technicians" for all the answers you always gave myself and all others who ask questions.  I'm not too smart with all this new technology as I fell into it very late.  I am now in my 60s and only started using a pc when I was over 50 years so...  In any case, I asked a question about the size of screen resolution and text and received much good advice from all that you guys.  I had recently changed in XP to Windows 7.  However, the bit of advice that I was given in 'Cyberking' here at the Portugal had set the resolution of the screen, the advanced settings, 75 to 60 Hertz Monitor tab.  Very basic, and the first question asked the technician (Lady) was "what size is your screen?  Naturally as a smaller screen that any 'techno' would be considered dead aid, solving the problem was simple and straightforward without me having to stretch my knowledge and my skills by downloading all programes weird (to me) or do the funny stuff in the bios or something else.  I send this comment to you for you to realize that the simple solution is not always bad and maybe we should go for the easiest first and then work up to the more difficult ones.

    Just for you all to see - now my screen resolution is perfect, the text on the screen is clear and legible without difficulty, even though the size of text and icon is small.  Clarity is all!

    Thank you all once again!   Best regards, Blondie blue.

  • How to change the highlight color, click the button image and text and sound.  are there packages of buttons for use in my project?

    How to change the highlight color, click the button image and text and sound. are there packages of buttons for use in my project?

    Hello

    Even if the point of things based Web links buttons created using them is of simple images. Captivate uses simple images. If you need to put your creative hat and not to let the fact that you see the word 'web' scared you somehow. An image is an image. Use on the web, use Captivate. Same case!

    If you change the properties of the button, you can activate the legend of success. Fix any sound that you like with the legend of success and it will play when you click the button. If you do not want to see the legend of success, delete the text and configure it as transparent.

  • How do I reselect the type to change.  I have a text template that I want to, but when I try to select it with the text tool always creates a new text layer.  How to change the type of the layer in my registered design?

    OK, Bob. This give a try.

    First, open a new file and make sure the background is white, not on Transparent that I suspect you have currently defined.

    Then, type your copy. Your layers panel will then look like the top of this picture...:

    and when you drag the text on the image layer, it will look like the lower part of the sample above.

    You can then position the text layer with the tool move

    Maybe a stupid question, but I can't seem to figure it out, even with searches on the web.  I want to change the color of a single word in my HTML document.  Can anyone offer advice?

    I can change some styles of the selected text (bold, italic, etc.), but do not understand the color.

    Also, I know how to change the color of the different elements using CSS.  But for the selected text in an element, CSS here the simplest solution?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes.  I checked it and in CC DW, there is not a way to do as I suggested previously.  I was watching DW CS6 and he got it.

    Looks like you'll need to teach how them to manually code.  This will make them think about what they are doing and so concentrate better.

  • How to change the text box in Acrobat XI, created by earlier versions of Acrobat

    Hi, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to change a text box that was created in an older version of Acrobat and used to fill in a form.

    In my case, I added text boxes on text pre-existing using an earlier version of Acrobat.

    When I try to click on the text box, however, it seems to be back on the existing text and not allow me to change the text box I created in the past.

    Try changing the text with the tool 'Add comment text' which is in the notes pane. The text used to complete the form may have been written as annotation, so when you try to change those with editing tools, the original text is being edited.

  • How to change the text after the script to the Calendar Wizard creates a calendar

    I mainly work with Photoshop, so I am new to the world of InDesign.  I put my options for the Calendar Wizard script, it goes through the motions, making the calendar and then shows my finished product.  The problem is that it lists the year alongside each month: may 2012 June 2012, etc, and I need to remove '2012' of each of them.  I know that the font styles updates the entire calendar when they are applied, so I hope that it works in a similar way.  I guess it is a very simple task if you are familiar with the program, haha!

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    It sounds more like you ask how to delete 2012 of several pages, and not how to change the script to not put 2012 in all first. If I'm wrong about this, you may want to ask on the Forum script.

    An easy way to remove 2012 is to use find/replace. If you are looking for 2012 and do not fill the field exchange, she will replace 2012 with nothing. In the Find/Replace window, there is a field that will allow you to search for the location of the cursor to the end of the current history, the history, the stories in the document or all open documents. If you set it to the Document, you can use the search button to find the first instance, and if you want to remove it, you can hit replace them, replace/find (what will change and find the next instance), or change everything. I would replace/find, in case you have 2012 on another part of the calendar that you want to keep. You can also have it search the text only when it has a particular paragraph or a character style and put in place the same or a different paragraph or character style. To do this, click in the boxes of Format change or find. To clear out them, hit the small icon of the Recycle Bin next to the field.

  • How to change the text design AS3 using the class Date

    Hi I tried to create a 24-hour countdown on 24 who will make a loop and play back counting it self down to 00:00:00:00

    Thanks to Andrei1 for providing me with this code to create the next animtion:

    var result: String = "";

    Snippets of code is one thing, but nothing is gained back together solutions to people without explanation (but maybe a smile to not have to struggle with it).  Learning is not easy and it is better that it isn't... it involves the effort, stadiums, an increase in capacity to win.  You presented an entirely different approach to a solution that involves techniques beyond a beginning level.

    Don't you think that tom understands what he has in his hands?  It can develop its own regular expressions or manipulate a Date object to what you gave to him?  More importantly, since he never solved the intitial design of yesterdays issues poster, which has involved basic concepts much more, don't you think he could solve this design now?  Or he missed on some basic things that must precede the techniques that you have provided learning?

    1. How will I know if I have the latest firmware for this device?  I read a few posts that make it sound as if it was just automatically updates.  Is this true?
