• Why can I not move objects and text boxes in Indesign CS5.5?

  I've recently upgraded to Indesign CS5.5.I have worked on a document and everything was fine, but I suddenly realized I could move is no longer areas of text or objects using the direct Selection tool and dragging. Objects do not just move. I can move them by selecting them and then painstakingly moving with the arrow keys. I can also reshape their dragging points middle and corners. The objects are not locked and are not on a locked layer. The "anchored object ' options are grayed out and I can not also copy one of the objects."  Please can someone help?

• Impossible to move blocks of text or placed images

  Hello world

  If I create a text box in Indesign CC and then type in the box seems to be blocked, IE. I can't move it with the selection tool. If I use the direct Selection tool, I use the arrow keys to move it upwards or downwards, but I can't move it to the document. This happens also with placed images.

  Anyone know why this is happening and if there is a solution?

  Thanks in advance.

  I just found out that my system restarts solved this problem.

• The text in a text box in InDesign disappears when I resize or move

  I have a running footer in a text box on a colored background. I want to push the text up a little so that it is centered in the colored band. But when I do, the text disappears. It is not aligned to the baseline grid and the text wrapping is disabled.

  Can anyone help? I use InDesign CS 5.5 on Windows.

  

  If you delete the color box, and then move the text, already done?   I think it may be an object hide it is the origin of the problem.

• objects and text boxes 'locking' indd

  Hello, all of a sudden my text boxes and objects placed in inddcc can not be moved with my arrow selection tool - as they are locked (they are not). I can't find a release or a preference to adjust. I have to move items a tick at a time with my arrow on my keyboard. Help!

• Unable to rezise any object or text box

  I can't resize objects or the text box in a document. I use Illustrator CS3. Bounding box and the edge are already turned on. Could someone help me please?

  As I said, encompassing are already turned on.

  It happens with any object or any area of text in any document, even if I create a new document. I can't resize or rotate with the move tool (black arrow) and I can not also transform objects (moving only one line or a point..) with the direct Selection (white arrow) tool. The only thing I can do white these tools is select.

• Impossible to move objects with the Selection tool

  So I just installed Illustrator CC, I have now on a trial license.  An hour ago, Illustrator suddenly began to refuse to move objects, while I'm in the selection tool.  I can move objects in the free transform.  I use shortcut keys a lot, so it's really slow me down.  I hit 'V' to click on and then move an object, and then it won't move. I get the error sound, but no dialog box appears to explain the error.

  Because I'm about to bite the bullet and start paying a hefty monthly fee for this program, at my trial runs out, that's enough aggravating circumstances.  Anyone has any ideas what can cause this?

  Looks like there could be a hidden modal dialog open. Hit the ESC key does nothing to release the objects?

• Add a little height to the text box in indesign?

  Hello!

  I have a big and nice script that applies the changes of height/width of a document based on the object styles, and other settings.

  But what I really need, is a script that comes Add a little height to a text box selected. It doesn't have to rely on the object styles and should only apply to a single box.

  I learn to program, but have no knowledge in javascript so far...

  Is it possible to shoot the script under?

• Object placeholder, text, symbol helps Indesign cs6

  Hi, I need a holder object in place (with text) in indesign for work wireframing, I want to add placeholder text etc. on all pages of a menu nav (or anything else that I think will be updated later) and then when I get the actual data I can change the names of nav to their real titles and it will change in all instances of the placeholder (through object of 60 pages or more)

  In flash or illo, etc., you could do a symbol etc. and change it and it would change all instances. Is there anything close to that in Indesign (the library panel does not allow for editing of the item master is he?)

  You will get instantly big mojo luck if you answer this quickly and without * very * sarcasm...

  Well, InDesign has yet to symbols.

  But you can create the object with the text in Illustrator and save it in format I. Then place the file HAVE anywhere where you need the object placeholder. When you need to make changes, change the Illustrator object and text and it will be replaced in InDesign overall.

• Impossible to move objects after pasting inside?

  Using CS5.5,.

  I did a series of forms such as the joint, then I select the outdoor square shape and I chose to edit > paste inside the shape. Then I group all the rooms that make up the forms and I want to move it to a lower part of my document, but when I do that the image does not come with the shape and text.

  What I am doing wrong? How should I do this?

  Thank you.

  Sound of a gun! I have been concerned about this possibility, but I saw that align controls worked well. I didn't know that orders space evenly would behave differently.

  This seems to be a flaw in the application. For this reason, you would better align and distribute the elements of the layout first and then adding the images later.

  Nevertheless, here are some ways that you can deal with this issue, at this stage:

  • Distribute the elements visually, according to your eye. The arrow keys to move an object in one direction, by holding down the SHIFT key to move larger increments. In addition, now the shift will force motion if the displacement of an object using the mouse or the cursor.
  • Using mathematics. If you select multiple objects or groups on the Web, you can see the total width and height they occupy in the property inspector. You can then use your knowledge of the width/height of every item in them to distribute digitally, by hand.
  • Here is an interesting workaround: create a new layer and the "trace" each object below using the rectangle tool. (In fact, if they are all the same size, you can take only one time and then option-make slide to copy.) Select the appropriate rectangles, then apply the commands space evenly, as needed. Now move this layer to the bottom of the stack and use it as a guide to reposition the original objects above.

• ID CC 2015 problem: Impossible to move objects

  I have recently updated CC to 2015 on my Macbook air and have a class project, I try to start but I have a problem with objects in a file. I am able to resize them, but NOT move them to a new location in the file with or without a frame.

  Initially, I guess with a lengthy absence from the application method to treat objects must be refreshed in my memory so I searched and found that this was not the case.

  I then tried to restart the application and open the same object in a different file, but the problem persists.

  I won't be able to complete this class project if this problem cannot be solved. Please tell me that something can be done.

  I read something about erasing the preferences but not received any results from the buttons that she supposed to hold. Playback refers to 6 CS but I thought that this particular method might not be exclusive. This is despite the fact that I have actually no custom preferences to erase.

  Cloud of published Creative recently updated software for InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. I installed them, and all the InDesign issues have been fixed just in time for my second class project.

• Impossible to move objects in InDesign CC

  I recently installed InDesign CC so it would work very well except that I can't click and drag anything.  Whenever I try to use the selection tool to move an object that I placed it just does nothing.  It can change the size of the frame very well, however.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall, as well as screw up my preferences. I can move an object with the arrow keys, but it's annoying as all escape. Is it just something wrong with my computer or is there a way I can fix this?

  The CC 2015 fixed this bug.  When I updated I could move everything very well.
