How to put text in columns in InDesign?

Hello

I'm creating a brochure in two columns in InDesign CS3. I would like to put some text in a column. However, when I try to place text in a column, the text does not align with the edge of the column and instead of it, is placed in a large text box that spans the width of the page. How can I make text go in one of the columns? Is there a setting that I need to have chosen?

I'm still new to this program, so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

as always, Bob is right, you have landmarks of column on your page, but no frames

So create a large text block is equal to the size of your pages, then go into "Object--> block of text options" and enter the space of plate and the gutter of the number that you have defined for the column guides, this will create the text frame with the column that will be constrained for the column guides.

Then place the text and check

First of all, let's be perfectly clear that "place" has a specific meaning in InDesign: import from an external file. Placing the text does not include paste it from the Clipboard or by typing directly into a frame.

It is NOT necessary to have all the frames on the page at all when you place text, and what happens depends entirely if there are empty frames and where you click, and if you click on release, or click and drag before releasing or if you add the key Shift or Alt/Opt When you click.

If there is a frame, ID should put some text in there as long as you click on and release into the open area of the frame away from the guides. If you click on a guide, however, ID will ignore the existing framework and draw a new. Click and drag always draws a frame which correspondes to the location and shape as you drag.

If there is no frame, click on and release will draw a frame at the top to the coordinate y where the mouse is clicked. This framework will extend to the margin of the lower guide, and it will fill the space between the column on each side of the coordinate guides x where the cursor was clicked, if you click on actually inside a set of column guides. If you click in a box gutter the framework will start where you click and the width of a column, but does not relieve the guides. By clicking on the pasteboaed or in the margin is similar.

Add shift when you click on and release will debit all the text in the history. ID will add images and or pages to the need to keep all the text. Added frames will be strung to your first image and fill the column guides of top margin to the bottom margin. Adding Alt or Opt puts you in semi-auto Flow - your text is fillonly a framework, but the cursor will remain charged so that you can create a new mount threaded to the first in a location/size of your choice. Holding the two works very similar to just holding the SHIFT key, but ID will flow only as much text you have space to - no new pages will be added - and the rest will be in excess.

  • How could put editable report column as read only based on the other domain

    Hello world

    I'm new to APEX. I have a modifiable tabular report (SQL query). When I choose the column (which is a selection list) of a certain value, I want column B to be read-only (depending on the result of an another SQL described below). It doesn't seem to be a READ ONLY section in the type of tabular report where I could put my SQL condition.

    In other words, "column B" must be read only based on SQL returning following true or Exists:
    Thus, to determine if column B is ready only, I need the following logic:

    SELECT 'x '.
    of tab1
    where key = (value of column A)
    and the flag = "Y".

    You can only do so if your tabular presentation is a manually created. In this example, it shows how to set this property:

    You can use a case statement to set this property for specific lines.

  • How to put text on the image of blackberry?

    I'm a Blackberry app. In my application I need to show show text in an image. So I used this code.

    tab1 = new LabelField ("Page 1", LabelField.FOCUSABLE |) LabelField.HIGHLIGHT_SELECT) {}

    protected void paintBackground (Graphics g) {}
    TODO self-generating method stub
    super.paintBackground (g);
    EncodedImage tmpimg = EncodedImage.getEncodedImageResource ("ic_menu_refresh.png");
    try {}
    g.drawImage (0, 0, 70, 40, tmpimg, 0, 0, 0);

    }
    {} catch (IllegalArgumentException iae)
    System.out.println ("bad arguments.");
    }
    }

    Protected Sub layout (int width, int height) {}
    Super.Layout (width, height);
    setExtent (70, 40);
    };

    Protected Sub paint (figure net.rim.device.api.ui.Graphics) {}
    graphics.setColor (Color.WHITE);
    Super.Paint (Graphics);
    };

    };

    This code text giving on image but I want that this text not on the center of the image. I want it on the bottom of the image. I also want to resize the image depends on the size of labelfield... Please help me friends...

    I'm curious to know why you want to avoid having a VerticalFieldManager? It's a standard way of BlackBerry to arrange fields and managers vertically. He respects the flags of horizontal alignment (FIELD_LEFT, FIELD_HCENTER and FIELD_RIGHT) for "children" and does not take into account all verticals (naturally!).

    It also respects the margins of fields, which is a huge advantage - you just put properly and let the BlackBerry primitives to take care of the presentation of the screen for you. Don't try to reinvent the wheel - channel your time and energy into the functional parts of your application.

  • How to put text user_datastore indexes in different tablespace

    I am trying to create a user_datastore text index in a different tablespacce

    I do not see a preference here:

    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B28359_01/text.111/b28304/cdatadic.htm#i1006810

    So I can't put it here:

    BEGIN
    ctx_ddl.create_preference ('event_store', 'user_datastore');
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('event_store', 'procedure', 'event_search_pkg.event_filter');
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('event_store', 'TYPE_SORTIE', 'CLOB');
    END;

    And if I try to put a different tablespace here I get an error:

    CREATE INDEX event_index ON events (index_col) INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context
    PARAMETERS ("event_store of the data store") TABLESPACE ENCRYPTED_TS

    Because I can't do it with a domain index. Put parameters doesn't work either:

    CREATE INDEX event_index ON events (index_col) INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context
    PARAMETERS ("datastore event_store
    storage ENCRYPTED_TS)

    Is there a way I can create an index of user_datastore using a different tablespace?

    First of all keep in mind the index itself can be assigned to a specific tablespace, but it's really irrelevant what the index itself does not store. It's the underlying tables to index such as DR$ indexname$ I,... $R, $X etc which occupy space and these can be assigned to specific storage using a [preference STORAGE | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/text.111/b28304/cdatadic.htm#i1008935].

    The fact that you are using a data user store makes no difference: it is the same for all types of data store.

  • How to put text on multiple sub-paths tool feather of Photoshop

    I just have a good time doing all sorts of paths with the pen tool and split each in a subpath in controlling by clicking on subsequent to each of them. Everything looks good, but when I write the text on one of the paths, others disappear. I have every path with the pencil tool, but I need the actual paths are so I can tap on them.

    Is it possible for me to do this? I'm just a fool and lack something completely obvious? I do not normally work with the text tool so I apologize.

  • How to put the two column values in two different colors unique online: MobApp

    Hello

    I develop Mobile Application.
    I want to show two values in different columns in single row and first column value in either green or red and the second color the default column value.
    the first value of the column is green when the value is greater than the second value of the column.
    and the first column value in red when the value is less than the second value of the column.
    The code I tried is:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    < tr:panelGroupLayout layout = "vertical" styleClass = 'list' >
    < tr:panelList styleClass = "panelist ul > li > a" >


    "" < tr:outputText value = "deliver: % #{row.bindings.OccCurr.inputValue},
    inlineStyle = "background-color: #{rank." OccCurr > line. OccFcst? {'Green': 'Red'}; ">

    "< tr:outputText value =" OccFcst: #{row.bindings.OccFcst.inputValue} % ">"

    < / tr:outputText >
    < / tr:outputText >
    < / tr:panelList >
    < / tr:panelGroupLayout >
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    But the code above does not work.


    Please, someone tell me what I need to do.


    I apreciate your time and your help.

    Sanchez.

    Hi Catherine,

    Exactly, what is not working? Your OccCurr and OccFcst values are printed to the screen? I notice some questions.

    (1) If you want to display two outputText on one line, you can surround them with a panelGroupLayout and set the page layout to horizontal.
    (2) I don't think that you can place an outputText in outputText one another as in the codes that you have provided.
    (3) your EL is inconsistent. What is #{row.bindings.OccCurr.inputValue} or #{line. OccCurr}? If your values are displayed, but the background color does not work, it could be the first.

    
      
        
          
          
        
      
    
    

    Kind regards

    Also tried with CASTING... .but could not answer me.

    Please advice how add/concatenates the text in the column formula window.

    Kind regards

    CK

    I just tested the approach below, which works as expected.

    CONCAT ('ABC', cast ("Time". "" Tax Quarter "as char))"

    CONCAT ('ABC', 'Time'. ("' Fiscal quarter")

    Control the parameters of syntax in your formula.

    Mark it as relatively useful/correct, if it is.

    In Hyperion 11.1.1.3, nobody knows how to put the text in the cell and the support of the details read-only after that the budgeting process is done in order to avoid people to change their comments.

    There is no way to restrict the entry of text in the cell
    If you specify the description to charge you like details in support, which can be made read-only.
    but cell text comments to review, which can be changed. Even if you only read your form, users will be able to enter the text in the cell as long as they have access to the intersections of data...

    You can do a process to enter the descriptions of the charges, as supporting details only...
