Keep the text format when replacing text

Hi - I'm updating in indesign pages with 100 + boxes of text block containing prices / Cup/etc (not all threaded together, each thread is homogeneous). I need to replace the contents of these boxes with new content, but every time I put the new text, she brings with her fitness and I have to select everything and re - format text imported to the text format it replaced. I'm pulling my text in xls and converting it to plain text in text editing before placing it in my page layouts. I've never had this problem before and can not know if I messed up a preference or what. Previously, when I placed the new text, it took on the formatting of whatever it replaced. I work in CS5.

Thank you!

Looks like you're looking for "paste without formatting."

This can be found in Edition > paste without formatting or with the shortcut Shift + Cmd (Ctrl) + V.

  • Keep the build order when replacing image?

    Hi guys this problem has plagued me for a while.

    I create a video model in Keynote. The intro slide has a video file (locked) followed by an (unlocked) image and finally another video file (locked). The three of them follow a specific build order with delays, which in turn creates the complete animation.

    I want that the user don't just replace this the Middle image on the slide with one of their choice.

    The problem is, once replace it user order image, positioning of the image and delay in construction are lost. Unfortunately I don't think users are sophisticated enough to follow instructions on how to set the build order, then replace the timing delay, the image needs.

    Is there anyway someone (with a limited understanding of Keynote) can replace the Middle image without compromising the build order?

    Thank you!

    Use an image placeholder:

    • Add a picture to the slide in the format (vertical or horizontal)
    • position and size according to the needs
    • Add a formatting required (picture frame, shadow, etc.)
    • Select the image then: Inspector > Format > advanced > define as media placeholder

    users drag and drop any image on the support of the place that adopts the formatting of the placeholder and keep the animation settings

  • Keep the text perpendicular to the base line when you use the string.

    Is there a way to keep the text perpendicular to the base line when using the warp function?  I'm trying to reproduce a decal with curved text.  When I use the string to get the text that is curved like the original, the letters are slightly tilted.

    You could try to make each letter on a separate text layer, then use Image > transform > free transform to adapt the letters in place.

    A lot more control over the placement of the letter and size that warp text offers.

  • How to make the background transparent semi while keeping the text opaque

    Basically, as the title says.

    I am using a div as a container of text and I need do the slightly transparent background while keep the text with a full opacity, but am not sure how.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If more information just ask.

    Two ways to do it.  We need to make a picture of 1 x 1 saved as a PNG with transparency and which defined on the background and repeat.  This will work in IE 7 & up and all other browsers.  The other way with CSS transparency that requires a few lines in your code depending on the browser used - http://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_image_transparency.asp .

  • Keep the text formatting when writing new file with FILEIO

    Hi all

    I wonder if there is a way to keep the formatting of the text when I write it in a new file using FILEIO. In particular, I have the following text in a domain member:

    test < background = L1_garaz / > (text in the tag a color and itsbold) test


    I use the following code to write the foregoing in a new filw using FILEIO:

    on mouseup


    Annot = member("annotator").text
    path = the moviepath & "Annotated_text\".
    whichanno = baGetFilename ('Save', ' "& path &" "," "," doc files | ") * .doc", 0, -2, 0, 0, 'save the doc file')

    myanott = new (xtra "FileIO")

    myanott. CreateFile (whichanno) - create
    myanott.openFile(whichanno,0)
    writeString(myanott,annot) - write the new string
    myanott.closeFile)
    myanott = CANCEL

    end

    the problem is that despite the type of file I want to choose to save it (.doc, txt, etc.), he refuses to save the text with its original formatting (with the colors and the words "BOLD"). No idea how to solve this problem?

    Use a member of text instead of a field member, then you can access the formatting of the text through property .rtf... then save this info to a file:
    Annot = member("annotator").rtf
    .....
    ...
    writeString(myanott,annot) - write the new string

    Quote:
    Posted by: wgb14
    NOP, its said property found rtf. So if saving to RTF (without change to the ownership of the member("annotator") still once he will not keep the main text formmat

  • Keep the layer names when describing the text

    I would like to know if there is a way to keep the names of the objects/layers of text when the text is converted to text outline, using scripts.

    I create files with dozens of text layers (player names on the back of the jerseys of sport) and send the .ai file to manufacturers. This means that I have to expose the text, but when I do, the layers all lose their names and everything becomes "< Group >.

    Can anyone think of a way of naming these layers with the text they contain?

    Hi openbracket,.

    It is impossible, if the text is underlined.

    But it is possible for the text and the outline of the text via script (don't forget that the selected text is only filled with no effects or stroke)

    You can try something like this:

    // required: an opened document with one selected text frame
    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var aSel = aDoc.selection;
    if (aSel[0].typename =="TextFrame") {
        if (aSel[0].characters.length < 40) {
        var newName = aSel[0].contents;
        } else {
        newName = aSel[0].contents.substr(0, 39);
        }
    aSel[0].createOutline();
    aSel = aDoc.selection;
    // name of the new Group = contents or part of contents of selected text frame
    aSel[0].name = newName;
    }

    Unfortunately, you can not paste html formatting in textfields.  While you can format the textfield itself for font, size, color and other features, html formatting must be affected by the code, and Flash supports only a limited number of html tags.

  • the format of my document changes when I convert from a txt to PDF file, how to keep the original format of the document?

    How to maintain a txt document format when converting to PDF?  the pdf file continues to change the lines on the page

    txt is not a format. Really. It's just text, and so there is no right way to do it. I guess you need to do is to put in Word and from there, you can choose the font, size, page margins, and the difficulty of the layout; then, you can create a PDF file. Despite this, expect the changes to line break.
