How to reduce the space between text and Image

I am trying to wrap text around an irregular shape in InDesign CS4. I used the pen tool to mark the outlines of the image, crop the image, then selected the outline of the pen and pasted the image into the outline. With parameters defined for the TextWrap is in this dialog box, text wrapping seems in good shape on the right side, but he has too much space on the left side.

If I try to reduce the space even further away, it is only on the right side of the image, not the left:

It's the same thing for all my irregular images where I try to wrap the text. How can I reduce the white space to the left of the picture?

You can use direct selection and the pen tool to change the skin path in repositioning of anchor points and guidelines and adding more anchorpoints etc. In this way, you can move the path of the scarf to the inside a little more to allow the best fit of the text.  To lock breaks in a bit more on a line-by-line, take into account settings composer to composer Adobe single-line (Control Panel menu)

You can also try to allow hyphenation. With the text aligned to the box on the left will always left a little look gappy I think. However allowing hyphenation will get InDesign to cut the breakpoint to the left of the object with the text, as well as at the end of the line wrapping.

Also if you change the alignment for Justified, you will also get a better result.

On a related side note, I had usually advice my trainees do not to wrap the text on the left and right sides, when the object with the scarf is placed in the middle of a sentence. It makes reading more difficult phrases.

Hope this helps,

  • How to change the space between folder icon and the text on the personal toolbar?

    I have some files in the personal toolbar with just a letter to indicate what they are, but on the theme that I use, the letter is too far from the record, it belongs to and partially falls under following folder icon. I don't want to increase the space between all the icons to show the full letter, as this decreases the amount of icons that you can have in the toolbar. Instead, I want to reduce the space between the file and the text belonging to him, so he is right next to him instead of 5 pixels away.

    I found various entries to change the padding and margins in userChrome.css, but it's always around the icon, I don't know where to look to close the space between the icon and the corresponding text.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    First of all, to answer your question about moving content. No, that is not supported.

    Then, never advised him to stick to Word what for the web. Word adds a lot of very strange code that can break your page completely. Tell him if he has a Word to add to the site to paste into Notepad or any other text editor, copy and paste to Muse.

    Hi, can someone show me an easy way to reduce the spaces in line in my text. Currently, they number about twice as big as I would like. I hope it's just a setting in the CSS that's easy to change even if I think I have tried everything. I hope you can help, thanks in advance. -Jason-

    Hi thanks to everyone for their contribution. I finally solved the problem thanks to a previous post. "Murray" posted this info and it worked like a charm.

    Open the page in DW. View the CSS with WINDOW Panel | CSS styles, click
    Click the new CSS rule at the bottom of the unified CSS panel, click
    the Middle option (Tag) button, enter "p" (without the quotes) in the tag: field,.
    Click this radio button at the bottom of the document, and then click OK.

    The margins are styles of box model, so select the category box and in the
    Margin field (you can leave the check box selected), enter a zero. Click OK,
    and you have created a rule of CSS stylesheet on the page that should look like

  • How to remove the spaces between the textfield in a horizontal layout - ADF Mobile

    snip.png

    Please tell me how to reduce the width of the 1st two textfields whose number of 971 and 50 and increase the width of the textfield "mobile".

    My code is given below

    < amx:panelGroupLayout id = "gp1" layout = "horizontal" >

    < amx:inputText value = "971" hintText = "Country Code" id = "it3" inputType = 'number' simple = "true" inlineStyle = "width: 70% margin-left: 5px" / >

    < amx:inputText value = "50" hintText = "Code" id = 'it8' inputType = 'number' simple = "true" inlineStyle = "width: 70% of margin-left: 5px" / >

    < amx:inputText value = "#{pageFlowScope.mobile_number}" hintText = 'Mobile' id = "it6" inputType = 'number' simple = "true" inlineStyle = "width: 100%" / > "

    < / amx:panelGroupLayout >.

    Width of the 1st two fields should very less that we will get that 2 or 3 numbers. Where are mobile, the width must be more as we enter the 10 numbers.

    This means that for example alignment must be as shown in the picture below. And the space between them must be equal and uniform as shown in the image below.

  • Unformattable Indesign text - how to remove the spaces between paragraphs?

    I have a 95 page indesign document. I have a few unwanted spaces between paragraphs. I could not get rid of these spaces. I tried to replace the formatting, using the window styles to paragraph, but in this case indesign does not yet recognize the formatting. I put paragraphs in form to 0P0 before and after paragraphs, and yet space remains between some paragraphs. I'm going crazy!

    The problem lies in the text imported into strange formatt, but that was five years ago and I don't even have access to the original text to try to import once more. Perhaps because it is a document to Indesign c5 and c6 now I use?

    Any help appreciated with gratitude,

    Sam

    After checking the object applied to blocks of text style: text frame JWK it shows under text frame General Options/Vertical Justification/Align/Justify (Peter Spier mentioned above about this possibility). I would put this Align/Top. Also when you changed the paragraph to align on the grid he left some gaps on some pages. I have put that back in would line up on the starting grid. There will be a reshuffle of the text when you do. To check if everything looks as it should. Make a copy of the file and make your changes there just in case, and let us know how it goes.
