Link text in indesign?

Is it possible to have a text box in a document control the text in another document?  For instance if I have 2 of the same document in 2 different sizes.  with the same text.  Is it possible to change the text in one of the files and have it automatically update the same text in the second file?  rather than open 2 files to copy and paste in the second.  Yes its young to do that but I do thousands of files that it becomes boring.

Thanks in advance

Content Collector tools do this.

  • Update links Excel in InDesign

    Here's the scenario: I imported Excel data into a document, InDesign CS5.5. I then apply the paragraph to the cells of the table and cell styles. When the data in the Excel file are changed, update the links in the "Links" InDesign window as one would if an EPS, PSD or TIFF file had changed.

    My problem is when I update linked data, I'm losing all my formatting of text. InDesign changes all the text in the cell linked to the "base" character style setting I use six different paragraph and the cell styles.

    I tried to change all aspects of the dialog box original import, each box of cell styles, paragraph styles, character styles, table styles, but I can't avoid the reformatting of the text after it is updated. I can easily re - apply for tables or cells paragraph styles after the update of the Excel related data, but I am trying to solve his problem in a way more "hands free".

    I tried a demo of "DataLinker" by Teacup Software and I could not get this to work. It seems that it is really is designed for high-end applications more.

    Someone at - it ideas? If I can't get this working in InDesign, I either watch so he could be remedied in CS6, or rent it to someone who can add by script.

    TIA for any help at all.

    You assigned to cell styles used in the table of paragraph styles style?

  • Display problem with hyper link text on the Blackberry HTML browser

    Hello

    There is a help section on the application I'm working on that. Basically, load us an html with the Blackberry HTML browser page and provide links hyper text severeal to other subsections providing hyper links text themselves until that user pages of real-world information (just typical help things).

    The last link of these pages are always displayed vertically. I've done more laps that I know not to try to solve this problem (including links hyper text in a list in a tab, but it keeps going that way no matter what).

    If you have already encountered this problem, thanks for sharing!

    I put links hyper texts in tables and it solved the problem. I try this in the first place, because the html tables are only supported for jde 4.6 (http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/11843/BlackBerry_Browser-Fundamentals_Guide--5...).

    But if you only use

    ,and
    parentheses, they come with limited support, it works fine.

  • Link text boxes?

    Looking through "the forums I found this question not answered for a couple of years...

    "It would be very useful if we could 'link' text boxes."  So if you change a text box in the COMPUTER version, the text corresponding boxes in the TABLET version and PHONE would automatically update. »

    Does anyone know if this is now possible as is an extremely useful function especially with 'in browser edition?

    Thank you very much

    Nick (novice Muse :-)

    What you are looking for, are already basically. Read here: create and use the text synchronized in Adobe Muse

    And if you use design fluid/reagent, it works without any additional intervention.

    Drmontague277467 poorly understood you completely. And even if he understood that you fix: text flowing between the text boxes would be a rather useless feature, because existing HTML specificatiovno or real browsers supports the text stream.

  • Combining acute accent with Cyrillic text in InDesign

    Nice day

    Someone has never managed using Unicode, combining acute accent with Cyrillic text in InDesign? If so, I would like to know your operating system version and InDesign.

    Thank you for your interest.

    Giordano

    I've never needed to do, because I have a personal dislike for combining accents (having been burned in the past in Vietnamese projects) but I can test it easily enough. It works without problem on CC 2015 on OS X Yosemite. I can test on a variety of versions and platforms, if you want to know something specific. I suggest that you tell us what policies should we use, too.

    If you need Cyrillic with accents for some languages not Russians, there are a few ways to go. Once more, I recommend combining accents - you can still use the tool already thin to concoct a single precomposed glyph that is encoded correctly and don't risk getting an accent combining when you switch to a font that does not have the acute combination.

  • Illustration, linked to the InDesign document

    I created a color illustration in Illustrator and saved as .ai file.  I'm working on a black and white manual that I created in InDesign.

    When I placed the illustration in my InDesign document, it looks blurry.  When I export my InDesign document as a .pdf file seems correct. When I print the pages with the illustration, it seems correct to my PDF document.

    Question - why the illustration linked in my InDesign air document blurred?

    Thank you

    Hello, welcome to the forum of InDesign. I'm a different Steve.

    What version of InDesign are you using? What operating system do you use?

    Tell us exactly how you create your text box (frame).

    The easiest way is to choose the tool of Type (T). Click and drag an image where you want to go.

    But, if you place the text to another program like Microsoft Word, click file > Place. Select the file and click Open. Drag-and-drop placement of text cursor to position it on the page.

  • InDesign CC 2015 hangs when one) place another InDesign file or b) opening a document that already contains the link to another InDesign file.

    Recently upgraded to CC 2015 CS6, have the latest versions of OS X and CC.

    When opening documents CS6 with links to other documents, .indd, after a short time (while updating the links I think) InDesign crashes.

    Have you tried

    (a) open related files and save it again as a document CC

    (b) copying items in a new document

    but when I try to place the document in another document new and empty, crash.

    After a bit of experimentation, I discovered that the problem was a logo in eps format that appeared in the documents. Re-recorded as .ai, fixed to a problem.

  • Bug: New editor-in-Chief "Insert link...". "does not link text?

    We were unable to upgrade many of our clients for the new editor because they have grown dependent on feature "Custom links" former editor that added the link by using the name of the module as the link for the link text. For example, in the former editor, if you have added a link to a piece of media download it would look like this:

    Revised April 2011

    It made him very simple and intuitive for end-users to add basic links to items in the module. They their selected in the list and a 'ready to go' link was inserted for them.

    However, the system now offers the following when you click on this same point with "insert links...". "in the new editor:

    LiteratureRetrieve.aspx? ID = 12345

    Some would say "Just select and edit text." (.. .assuming you know / remember the name that you have given this particular element)

    HHowever, If do you this with the new editor, it attaches automatically link to just the first letter you type, having for result something like this:

    Nname of ew

    This, of course, can now only be corrected using the HTML mode, which, ironically, is what the editor is supposed to be helping users to avoid!

    Also, this seems to be the case for all links created with the new editor (, new pages, FAQ, etc), so I'm really confused as to how there is no mention of this problem anywhere, by anyone.

    IMHO, this (oversight?) must be addressed as a priority, because it clearly undermines the essential purpose of having a WYSIWYG editor there in the first place!

    Or maybe I should just now seeking customers with ability of HTML coding?

    If I'm missing something, please let me know, but for now, the new editor in Chief is a "no-go" for most customers because this 'link to fundamentals creating' ability was rendered useless to them.

    From version R207, R207 - update of the system: the link selector inserts the name of the element instead of the URL of the link.

  • How to set the RTL text in InDesign CC?

    How to set my RTL text in InDesign CC? The icon in the palette of paragraphs illustrated on the Adobe web site does not appear in my palette.

    Yes, the Adobe help is, ah, garbage. You get RTL tools if you download the ME version of InDesign CC. In order to get that, you must delete the version of InDesign that you now, open your creative cloud application, click on the gear-preferences icon in the upper right corner, go to the language settings and choose a language setting as "English (Arabic)" or "English (Hebrew). You will get an interface with all editing tools in English ME as the character orientation, orientation of the paragraphs and so forth.

  • Problem with Sinhalese and Tamil text in InDesign

    I have a text sent to me to Sri Lanka in Microsoft word - Tamil (Arial Unicode MS) and the Sinhalese (Iskoola Pota). In the Microsoft Word document, they appear correctly.

    I need to transfer this text in Adobe InDesign. When I do a direct cut and paste, the characters for both languages are distorted with some characters jumping in front of the other (see image below).

    What I tried to do

    • I tried to cut and paste into Notepad and then insert it into the ID, but the same thing happens. I also made sure that I had selected the appropriate fonts described above in ID.
    • I also have Unicode installed in my computer and have installed the appropriate fonts - http://www.locallanguages.lk/
    • I made a PDF from Word and then placed in ID but I am working on a very public screen with hundreds of words in three languages (Sinhala, Tamil and English) which vary in sizes, so I need to be able to adjust the size, etc..  My absolute last resort would be to do this for each section of the screen, but it will be extremely laborious.

    My question is

    Is there a way to transfer Sinhalese and Tamil Microsoft Word text in InDesign and for the characters to stay as they are in Word?

    You better put the Word doc (using the file-> Place), but this probably isn't the issue here.

    What you need to activate is the universal composer. If you use a new version of InDesign (CS6 or CC) then you will find in the menu of the Justification of your paragraph style or the properties of the paragraph Panel dialog box or a few other places. If you use CS5.5 or an earlier version, you need a script or plugin to turn it on, because it was a feature 'hidden' at the time.
