How to create sharp lines between two text boxes?

I create a book that is written by several people, and so I want to create a "chapter... author.

Like this:

Chapter 1... Jon Doe

chapter2 ................................. Simon Harper

so that these points have always the same distance.

Help, please!

Well, if your 'chapter' and your 'jon doe' is in the separate text boxes, then there is no easy way to do it. (You could draw a bunch of lines dotted, which isn't difficult, but the only way to standardize manually drag the lines around).

However, if "chapter" and "jon doe" is in the same text box, separated by a tab character, then it is quite easy. Have you used a ruler before tab? This gives a test:

(1) type a brief sample in a text area, like the one in your post, but instead of separate columns with points, simply use a single tab

(2) select all text

3) go to the Type-> tabs

(4) I hope it sounds familiar to you (probably from MS Word, or maybe using a typewriter) but otherwise,.

(4A), click once on the sovereign to insert a tab stop

4 (b) type a question in the area of 'leader', and

4 c) press Tab or Enter to confirm

FYI, it's what you want, a 'leader' or a 'leader of dot. Knowing that he has called a "Chief" will help you find it in InDesign help.

  • How to draw a line between two buttons?

    Hello.

    I want to do two mobile buttons attached to a line. When changing the position of any button you change in the appearance of the line of course.  I know how to draw a line, but after MOUSE_DOWN and I don't know how to remove an old monotube and how this line to appear all the time?

    My code

    btn2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,

    btn2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler3);
    btn3.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler3);

    Set a mouse down Manager (the user is dragging)
    function mouseDownHandler3(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
    var object = evt.target;
    We have to limit them by dragging to the area inside the canvas
    object.startDrag ();

    Here is a solution that you can adapt for two or more buttons...

    var btns:Array = [btn2, btn3]; instances in concert

    handlers all btn
    function setBtns (): void {}
    for (var i = 0; i)
    inclinometer [i] .buttonMode = true;
    inclinometer [i] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, grab);
    inclinometer [i] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, drop);
    }
    }

    setBtns();

    inspired by ECCAS btns lines all while occurs wildfire
    function drawLines(e:Event=null):void {}

    graphics.lineStyle (2, 0xFF0000);
    ((graphics.moveTo(btns[0].x+(btns[0].width/2), btns[0].y+(btns[0].height/2));

    for (var j = btns.length - 1; j > = 1; j-) {}

  • Type alignment between two text boxes.

    Hello.

    I have a business card, needs to have two text blocks, in separate text boxes, align vertically.

    To make a long story short. I use InDesign to create a business card for "PageFlex" be used on "Four51. If the text variables change. Sometimes all three designations will be used, I.e., cell phone, fax. Other times only the telephone and/or fax numbers is used.

    The customer wants that the block of text on the left to align vertically, ALWAYS with the right hand of the block of text to the top line. Even if the right text block will change. E.g. telephone, Fax and laptop still will NOT be used. It may be that a single employee and the left text frame must adapt to align at the top. Either upwards or downwards to match the alignment of the right hand block.

    Here you can see two text blocks will align at the top. The right text block is "aligned to the bottom" in "vertical Justification".

    Screen shot 2012-02-01 at 11.51.00 AM.png

    Here, you see what happens when a line of text is deleted. I want that the block of text on the left to lower with the right text block so that they remain aligned.

    Screen shot 2012-02-01 at 11.51.16 AM.png

    Again, here's a deleted row. I would like once again, the left block of type lower with the right text block.

    Screen shot 2012-02-01 at 11.51.28 AM.png

    If it is not possible, it's ok. I'm not a guru type. It is not in my knowledge of InDesign. I tried with the text "linked" and "unrelated". I can't make it work.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Christian

    All you need to do is place the left as an anchored object frame on the top line of the right frame (before the word name).

    The left frame with then up and down with the top line.

  • I need to create a curved with type text box that heal and return to the next line in the form of curved text. How do I do that?

    I need to create a curved with type text box that heal and return to the next line in the form of curved text. How do I do that?

    1. Draw a set of concentric half circles also spaced, stacked so that the outermost is the most remote.
    2. Use the text tool to add text to the outermost path, thus creating a PathType object.
    3. Select all the paths. Type > threaded text > create.
    4. Text tool: click at the end of the text in the object of PathType. Continue typing.

    > If I do that it will not type more.

    A Warp effect is a direct effect. When it is applied to the type of objects, they are still editable text. The chain will deform, however, the text also, not only the paths to which it is attached. Sometimes you want that, sometimes you don't have.

  • How to create the link between the two drop-down lists

    Hi all

    I've created a form in which there are two drop-down lists.

    Let's say a drop-down list contains three elements A, B, C

    and another drop-down list contains three elements, Apple, banana and cherry.

    So, my request is how to create a relationship between these two drop-down lists, so that if I choose 'A' in the 1st drop-down list, Apple will be selected automatically in the 2nd drop-down list.

    Thank you

    Stéphane

    Hi Scott,.

    Niall is great. You can also use a hidden field to update the second drop-down list value.

    The first drop-down list change event script.

    Select var = xfa.event.change;
    var Items = List1.resolveNode("#items[0]").nodes;
    for (var i = 0; i)
    {
    if(Select == items.) Item (i) .value)
    {
    break;
    }
    }

    If (List1.Length > 1)

    {

    var Items_List2 = SecondDropdownlist.resolveNode("#items[0]").nodes;
    HiddenTextField.rawValue = Items_List2.item (i) .value;
    SecondDropdownlist.rawValue = HiddenTextField.rawValue;

    }

    Thank you

  • How to validate and save the values to a combo box and two text boxes in flex4 mxml application with as3

    my needs are I gave here.

    need 1: when I choose option amount that two text boxes does not have to be editable.when I select text tat box two percentage option will be editable.

    need 2: when I select the percentage in combox option and two text boxes are empty, and then click the button Save-> I want to display warning msg

    need 3: when I select the option amount combox and the two boxes are emptu click the button Save-> I don't want any warning messages.

    How to validate it and how to write backup for this function.

    any suggession or extract code is welcome.

    Thanks in advance,

    Looks like you are trying to do too much at once. Try to hang the events correctly

    The close event of the comboBox can do something like this

    protected function toggleTextEditing(event:DropDownEvent):void

    {

    If (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label is "Percentage")

    {

    This.Text1.editable = true;

    This.Text2.editable = true;

    }

    Else if (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label == "Number")

    {

    This.Text1.editable = false;

    This.Text2.editable = false;

    }

    }

    The button's click event can do something like

    protected function save(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    If (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label is "Percentage")

    {

    If (this.text1.text == "" & this.text2.text == "")

    {

    Alert.Show ("text is empty");

    return;

    }

    on the other

    {

    }

    }

    Else if (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label == "Number")

    {

    }

    }

    If you can put in your entire code, maybe I can have a look to see if I can find something wrong with that.

  • Text run horizontally through the two text boxes

    I am trying to run the text between the two areas of text, but in a continuous manner. Essentially, we have disclosed no claimed that crosses a spread. Someone, that is created is no longer here, two text boxes (one on each page) and has managed to take the text where the first line in the first text box has continued in the second text box and then wrapped into the first text box and then continued in the second text box and so on.

    So with the paragraph above text might hit the left text box to "Essentially" and continue to "we" the first line of the text on the right box. Go overboard and then to the second line of the left text box continuing to the second line of the text on the right box. And so on. I can't understand what they have done, but I'm sure it's something simple in InDesign.

    Note: these are areas of unique text, not two columns in a text box.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I see it. The text is flowing the way it does in mine. Who are soft return characters at the end of each line in the first screenshot, and # is a marker of the end of history. The lines were manually arranged and set frame on the left. This means that if you add a few words it will crumble.
