Imported text formatting disappears when you change the font in the character palette.

Something seems to have changed with my InDesign, and I don't know why. Here's what I used to be able to do.

I could import a word doc into a text box. This text would be bold italic, regular, fonts. I choose the text box, and then change the font using the character palette by changing just the upper box of the police. For example, if the police imported as Helvetica, but I wanted to be all Futura, I check the box and then simply type Futura and all bold Helvetica would become "BOLD" Futura, and italic Helvetica became Futura Italic, etc.. I didn't have to select each row.

Now if I try to do the same thing, when I select Futura, it changes just ANY text to regular Futura. I lose all the precedents of the formatting that was imported from the word doc.

I hope this makes sense.

How can I go back to the way it was?

Help, please! It's maddening! Not a big deal to design unique flyer but when laying on a book, it could represent DAYS on the project.

Thank you!

I fixed it. It was so simple. I just stumbled upon the answer.
All I had to do was change the search option using this drop-down list. (See the image)

  • Text box disappears when you use the text tool

    I downloaded a model for a leaflet to 3 parts and I create a text box, as soon as I take my finger off the mouse button, the text box disappears.  If I type, the text appears, but it has a colorful background.  If I switch to the selection tool, the text box is once more visible, but as soon as I hit the text tool, the box again is no longer visible.

    I guess it may be a setting somewhere in the model (this doesn't happen to me when I'm working on one of my own files) but I can't find the setting that controls this.  Any ideas?

    Thank you

    What color is the highlight? Rose, a font missing, green means custom tracking/kerning. These ar the two that you're more likely to see applied to an entire line. Yellow is substituted glyphs (typically ligatures, but it could be all cpas or samll so caps) and colors for the kepps violations there, but I don't know them off the top of my head. All these can be turned on or off in the Composition section of the preferences.

  • What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart?

    What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart - relating to the registration and identification of network?  Specifically when a computer isn't yet in one area but is still in a working group.  Y at - it show any PC by informing other computers it's name has changed?

    Computers into working groups are actively seeking each other, so if you rename a computer, it will not be shown anything. The restart is to erase the name of origin since the system cache, he will think that it's always the old name until the reboot takes place. Work computers is simply 'shake hands' with each other whenever they need to communicate.

    Computers that are part of a domain are created a 'computer' account that is assigned a random password that changes every 30 days by default automatically. These computer accounts work almost identical to an Active Directory user account, which means that they are not proactive they simply cached credentials with their permissions to provide if / when requested by heritage in the environment.
    Users and computers Active Directory accounts are stored in the NTDS. SAID the database, the backbone of an AD environment. When a computer name changes in one area, it takes the PC restarted simply for the PC. The change of name in Active Directory will replicate throughout the environment based on the settings of replication of this environment.
    I'm too simplify all this, but the general concept is there.

    Normally, when you open the page palette in InDesign, it is divided into two. The upper part is where is the master page (and a page named none), while the lower part is where are the actual pages of documents. Unfortunately when I opened my palette (InDesign CS 6 on a Mac), there is no upper and lower part of the page-only the lower part is displayed. When I put my cursor on my pages, it tells me that I "Applied A-master".

    Why not my top shows (A-master and none)? The pages that I don't "Act" like master pages - for example, I can't get past page numbering.


    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    It looks like the upper part may be in a State reduced - the line was pulled up.

    Just of the cursor on the line that separates the upper and lower sections, and drag it to the bottom.

    PROBLEM:

    Work on HTML5 using the guidelines and model of DoubleClick banners. When you use the text tool, I click on edit text. A Google Chrome window opens on the top, but not a complete window (see screenshot). This happens when I don't even Chrome open!

    Screen Shot 2015-08-11 at 11.29.18.png

    As soon as the window opens, AE freezes and unresponsive. I have to force quit every time. Console displays something similar with each accident. He mentions an "image not found" but all the images are present. Sought possible images that can be recognized even in the symbols but just used, is in the library and records. Again, it happens when I'm trying to change any text. Ideas?

  • Why Event.ADDED run HGroup when you change the size of the element?

    Hello

    I was wondering why my listeners Event.ADDED/REMOVED run when I change the size of an element in a HGroup... I can't understand. Both are running.

    I am writing a card game and I want to increase the size of a card in the HGroup on mouseOver. If I comment on changes in the width and height, the listener of Event.ADDED/REMOVED is not called. It runs only when I change the size of the map. The card is a custom BorderContainer component.

    Thank you

    Gabor

    The event.target must indicate what is to be added and removed.

    Depending on the content, I suppose it is possible that the graphics have to be recalculated to display new objects and that they be deleted and added.

  • InDesign stops responding when you change the text of the network. Technicians are baffled!

    Recently my InDesign (CS6 running on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, 8 GB ram) has become almost completely insensitive when I go to open and edit a file off the corporate network. Our technicians have no idea of what is happening and are considering having to re - build my profile as a last resort, as we tried everything.

    A little more of a buton to the problem: when I go to edit a file, InDesign turned off the server it first takes longer than usual to load but finally made. You can scroll through and down the pages, move and resize boxes, place new photos but as soon as you try to do anything based text (edit new text or create a new text box) the program crashes until you have to Task Manager on and kill. It is not a file corupt because if I copy the directory of the file with all the links on my computer hard drive the file works quite well, it's only when editing on the network and when edouble clicking to edit a text.

    What we have done to try to resolve the problem:

    • Reinstal InDesign - no effect
    • Deleted preferences (shift + ctrl + alt + windows key on InDesign startup) - no effect

    Our technicians tried to edit my profile nothing helps registry, and we are all completely at a loss of what is happening. There are several other instances of the program within the company (especially versions 5.5 and one other 6) and they work all files fine edition directly to the output of the network.

    Someone has an idea of what it could be, such a specific problem being only when you're editing text base areas? Technicians do not want to have to re - build my profile because there is a lot of back-end to do to be able to restore immediately.

    Thank you very much in advance for any light on the issue

    So have finally solved us the problem and are currently cracking on the Champagne!

    It turned out to be the network path shortcut I used to access the shared drive where I just change the files to. I work for a restaurant so we have a shared drive where each site can access their files, it's where the food menu files and I had created a shortcut, although accessible the zone made him using a path that had a double backslash in it.

    The true path for the shared drive is \\hm\mydocs\restaurant\menufile.indd and it is the shortcut I used to open the file of. For all other files such as Word, Excel, even other programs like PSE10 and Lightroom Adobe it seems to work correctly. For some reason any InDesign dislikes this path with the double backslash in. As soon as I changed the path of the shortcut to just m:\ (the letter of the drive shared on the network), everything worked again and we can all sleep, he drove us mental. Reinstalled windows, InDesign creates a new network user profile works.

    I hope this can help someone else in a similar situation in the future

  • Text in a text box disappears when you click on outside the text box

    I work on a Macbook Pro in 10.7 Lion.  I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

    I create a text and type the words in the text box.  As soon as I click outside of the text box, the text in the text box disappears.  The text box is still there.  As soon as I click inside the text box text is displayed again.  I confirmed that the text is black.

    I've seen several posts on the same problem but none of the solutions I've seen work.

    It's so frustrating to think I am giving up Adobe Acrobat X Pro and using a free PDF program using Windows 7 in Parallels on my Macbook for editing.  Given how much cost Acrobat X Pro, I'm pretty fed up with Adobe in general.

    I followed a link to a solution for editing the registry in Windows, but I don't know how to do this on a Mac.  In addition, it is simply absurd that Acrobat X Pro is totally useless for a simple PDF document editing.  This is not a form.  It is a PDF document with any of the other fields.  I just want to add text.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Well, there are a lot of things here. Part of the confusion is the different terms that are used, and where you posted. Although you have confirmed that you do not work on a form, you DID post on the forum of forms, so it is not surprising that you have lots of advice on the forms.

    I think I discovered something by looking at your file and experimentation. You add text, probably the only way you've found to this day. It's something rather old and creaky called "typewriter tool", who use not as much today. However, in Acrobat X, it is easy to find under "adding or editing text box. What you add is not like a regular text on the page, it's really a sort of commentary.

    There are many more types of comments comment, including much more powerful tools for adding text tab. You may find you prefer these, but let's look at the problem of the typewriter.

    Your problem is that your comments are opaque, less than 1%. It is slightly transparent, and so they are invisible. How has it happened? Don't know, but I have a guess. Is not serious, I have a fix. The problem is that this thing of opacity is a real parameter but without tools for setting it. Now it is defined, we must get rid of him somehow.

    1. you say, I think, that you have a computer where all is well. On this computer, do a text box to write. Save the PDF and get to the problem computer.

    2. open the good PDF on the problem computer.

    3. Select the comment Look for the one that you added in the list of comments.

    4. double-click the entry in the list of comments and make sure that it selects the right one. It takes the box of typewriter.

    5. right click on the entry in the list of comments, and choose Properties.

    6. click on "Make default properties", and then click OK.

    If all goes well, the right setting (100% opacity) now applies to all mailboxes in the future typewriter.
