How to set up an editable text box that can be controlled by master pages

I am designing a book. I created a master page to the first page of each chapter. I also need the text box content to be in a different size. So I tried including a blank text box in the master. That's when I met a problem - to place text, I have to manually replace the text box on the first page (Page of chapter) making a page element... the following pages have no problem however, as the son of text in the main text boxes. Now when I want to change the size or formatting of this text box, I can no longer use the master and have to manually apply to each chapter of this.

Is there a better way to do it. I'm on a deadline, a quick response would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

After that you override the master element on the page, it retains aspects on the page of the document that you do not change. So, if you change the size or geometry of the image on the page of the document, change the master page will have no effect. If all you have to do is out of the text frame to fill it with the type, you can still control its size and position through the frame of the master page. If you do need to change size every time you release and add text, I am not aware so as to always be driven from the master page.

    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 can I activate the spell for a text box that is just a line, for example submitted by e-mail?

    In an earlier version of Firefox, I found a site somewhere that told me what to do to turn on spell checking for text boxes that are just a line. I'm used to be able to send an e-mail with a subject that was not a misspelling. Now, it does not work. Please tell me how I can activate it once again. I'm on a Mac using Firefox 6.0.2. Thank you!

  • Smart txt reflow - how do you work with several text boxes?

    Hello

    I create ID cards to work, for 650 employees. I had used the reflow of text before smart on other jobs and I don't foresee any problems with its use for this project. To explain my problem:

    I'm doing a template with a trial of ten employees file. The design on each card, it is a name and a unique ID to be used. The name is 18pt and code 10pt.

    On my main page, I have a block of text for the name and a text block for the employee ID. The text blocks are as wide as the work plan but only high enough to adapt to a single name by image to the relevant point size.

    On the first page of my document, I select 'place' and then select the text file with all the names, I get the change of cursor in the image of the text, I hold SHIFT for the debit option and click on my name text box. InDesign automatically creates 9 new pages, and I now have a 10 page document. So far, perfect.

    I select "place" again, choose the employee code text file, click on my block of text in code used on the first page, and repeat the same process as above.

    My problem starts - I want codes for the employee to just flow through ten pages, as the names, but when I place the codes file and select the text on the first page, inDesign creates 10 new pages after the tenth page. So I find myself with 20 pages - the first ten pages with names and nothing in the code text boxes and the last ten pages with the codes but nothing in the name text boxes.

    I am at a loss as to why he does this. I was playing with the settings in the preferences, but nothing changes. I tried to select both the two text files and import at the same time.

    How do you work with several text boxes and several import of text file on a doicument? There are no extra spaces or something like that in my text files.

    I really don't want to have to link all text blocks - that will forever, but right now it's the only way I can get it to do what I want.

    Also, is there anyway to specify the font and the size of the text is important as? Because it keeps import as minion pro, even if the text boxes on the master are set to the correct font and size. Not a big deal though.

    Help, please! Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Ah, I think I misunderstood your original post and thought you wanted to do 10 badges per page. If it's only one, you need only a set of images. Same procedure for setting in place, but you have no need to screw anything or use the step and repaet to make copies.

    Place the file name in the frames of name and ID will add pages and then return to the first page and place the numbers. Just don't forget to put the bad slider in the space where the framework and to stay away from the guides (if you click on a guide, ID will ignore masters executives) and hold down the SHIFT key when you click.

  • Can not unlock a Master Page text boxes

    Hello

    First think first: Adobe InDesign CC for MAC, OS X 10.9.1.

    I received a file from a client with a lot of master pages. Now, what intrigues me is that at point, the designer uses a master page (title on bottom - Y) to add text on the footer, which foot is then used on the rest of the master pages. Each master page contains three layers: text, Images, frames blue boxes.

    Screenshot 2014-01-08 21.48.15.png

    Then he created another master page (Z - Footers_Page #).

    Now, the delicate issue.

    There, initially, locked down titles that have been on the layer of text boxes. I unlock them.

    Screenshot 2014-01-08 21.49.55.png

    Then, I went on my page document to sselect this footer text and put a little smaller, but only on this page, not on every page of the document. Usually, this is done by clicking on the desired text block while pressing command + shift. It did not work.

    I checked the master pages and noticed that the page that I tried to change used the Z Master. So, I thought that the master might have locked up too substantive text. So I went to this basic form and I noticed that the text boxes containing footers is not locked but has not yet shown on any of these three layers.

    Screenshot 2014-01-08 21.50.19.png

    I tried the command + shift + click on the boxing of text containing the phrase ending by... Central Virginia, to make it editable. No question. They are not shown in the text layer boxes.

    The only text boxes, I can change are the page numbers.

    Screenshot 2014-01-08 21.50.43.png

    However, when I do the layer of invisible text boxes, all the footers disappear, including those I can't edit at all.

    Screenshot 2014-01-08 21.50.30.png

    I started, so I was wondering. What is going on? Commands like show all on the spread or unlock everything on spreads are gray. So, how do I change this line on a single page.

    There is a little professional manner, but I preffer to learn before doing the amateur work.

    Thank you.

    Select master z doing Ctrl A to select all the items on the master. On the flyout menu go to Master Pages/Allow Master item overrides on selection.

  • A Text box that is easy to use with no size limit!

    I would like to know if anyone has the code for a text box that is easy to use in that the user can enter, for example, a story, they wrote and have a small toolbar with the Bold Italic and Underline attributes as well as a small camera to upload a photo if necessary. This box, after recorded text can also be moved anywhere on a web page by the user, for example page has three columns and they can left-click on it and drag and drop.

    I use Dreamweaver CS4 can be any type of code

    Thank you

    This is something that you should program into your site and not something that Dreamweaver automatically.

    The sounds of your text box, you need a script RTE (Rich Text Editor).  CKEditor is a perfect example of this for PHP Web based: http://ckeditor.com/ .

    For drag / drop, you can find a good example in the Widget browser ( http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/widgetbrowser/ ).  The only problem with that is that it requires it to be on a HTML5 document.  There is also a movable example in the JQuery UI ( http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/ ).

    Like Ann, I don't remember when the conduct to the predefined portrait/animations have been added to the titration module.

    Although my PrPro has them, I rarely use them, and simply do as Ann suggests - animate my titles with the fixed effect > Motion > Position and animate Position keyframe. This allows much more freedom and control. You can change the speed at any point (s) and can even stop the animation if you wish.

    Good luck
