Move the text block

• Text wrapping moves the text block

  Hello world. I have a block of text on my page and a picture frame sitting in the upper left corner of the text block. I want my text to wrap around the picture frame, so I have the text wraps not lit. However, skin moves the entire text block to the right instead of just the text inside the frame. Is it possible to avoid this? InDesign CS for Windows 6. Thank you very much.

  -Rick

  Nevermind, I figured it. The text block was at anchor, and that's why the frame is moved to the right. I'm sorry for the noise of the useless list.

• Move the text block to another Page

  Hey,.

  I'm new to InDesign scripting, and I've been browsing the docs for quite awhile, but can't find how to move a block of text to another page.

  The closest I came was a .parentPage, but it is read-only.

  I have my frame on the first page of the document, how can I move, let's say, on page 5?

  myFrame.move (myDestinationPage)

• Problem with the text block, put in place when it is used on the page number marker

  Hello!

  I would use the text block on the marker page number on the master page in Indesign. The text block should change width when increases the page number. It does not work. What happens is that when the number of page moves a two-digit figure, the numbers tightened itself (compressed on top of each other) and the block of text changes size unless I drag on it (which means I have to manually unlock the master page first).

  I'm doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

  Thank you!

  Altogether! So, you can use a rule of Pará to simply do it!

• Help using Léonie / old Toad move the text of "Key words" in "securities".

  Need help to use leonie / old Toad move the text of "Key words" in "securities".

  I have about 30 000 images with keywords but NO Title.  I want to move / copy the text in the keywords section in the section of the title.

  So, I tried this Script: Add keywords to title - Script of Léonie field

  He did a little work, but not completely.

  When I select an image in Photos, and then "Get Info" I'll see below in the title area, notice that the first two lines are the same.

  My keywords are: Experimental engine 17 to 600 hours

  AFTER I run the Script, I get the following:

  IMG_2621.jpg - 17-600 hours experimental engine

  IMG_2621.JPG

  I need is:

  17 to 600 hours experimental engine

  I do not understand why the Photos shows the name of the file twice.   These fields are not labelled, but I was under the impression that the top line was the Description, the second line is the name of the file, and the third line is the Date.   Because only the first line is displayed under thumbnails, I try to have as much descriptive information appear in this area (as in the past, we could do with iPhoto or Aperture).

  In other words, when I run the script I hold my keywords to replace everything in the top line completely, eliminating the name of the file. Is there something wrong with this approach?  I would still have the name of the file to the second line, right?

  Thank you.

  Remove the file name of the title field, and then run the script. You will have the chance

  -17 to 600 hours experimental engine

  You can manually delete the "-" at the beginning or modify the script.

• photo book - move the text box

  I'm building my first photo book project - I was able to choose a theme, add images, open 'options', type in the text box, edit the fonts and size and move the text up and down the text box - BUT I couldn't resize the text box or move it to the lowest point in the page.

  - BUT I was unable to resize the text box or move it to the lowest point in the page-

  Which is not supported. You should choose a layout that is the text box where you want it.

  Click on the Options button in the toolbar, and then select a layout that has a text more large field or to another post.

• How to get the text block, given anchor (~ a)

  I need to dynamically position anchored with anchor text blocks (but the relative position will be different for each anchor). If I grep ~ i can get the anchor marker - how to get the text block once I got this marker?

  Thank you

  The marker "anchor" is a character of "simple".

  So you can do the following if you have identified the character (and in this example selected it):

  //Start with an "Anchor Marker" selected:
  var myCharacter = app.selection[0];
  
  if (myCharacter.texts[0].textFrames.length == 1){
  
  var myAnchoredTextFrame = myCharacter.texts[0].textFrames[0];
      //do something with the anchored text frame:
      myAnchoredTextFrame.fillColor = "Yellow";
  
      };
  

  You can set the myCharacter variable differently, if you know the index of the character according to his history of parent.

  Or if you have found the character as part of a search GREP or TEXT by ExtendScript (JavaScript).

• Text on the stroke to the text block

  I was wondering if there is no way to force the text in a text block to be at the top of the race that I added to the text box. The descenders are cut and I have messed around with various options of baseline for the text block, but can't seem to find a way to make it work without making the largest text block which I prefer not to do.

  I saw a few solutions, but they all seem to be for earlier versions by using the settings that I can't find in the CC options.

  Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

• Cannot move the text in plan Vanishing Point

  For some reason any when I select some text and try to paste it into a plan of vanishing point, the selection ends up 200% longer than what it should be, and I can not move the text layer in the plan. Screenshot attached.

  After pasting the text (or whatever it is already copied to the Clipboard before entering Vanishing Point) in Vanishing Point, there is no reason why you cannot turn freely it adapts to your chosen size and the report l / h.  If the text or object is too big, and FT handles are outside the plane of VP, just do slip down so you can see the upper handles, to scale down and slide it in position.

  Note: when you use FT Perspective on any object (I mean outside VP), he tends to exaggerate the 'length' because that's how we would probably see the object in real life.  I have nearly the only time where I actually click right and choose one option in FT, because it's so easy and fast to Ctrl (Cmd) make dragging a corner or manage a health perspective.

  Unfortunately you get only basic FT size options and the proportions to the bosom of the VP, which is too bad, because you cannot distort your object to encapsulate apparently on a surface curve.  I added a few FT string to this text before it is applied within the VP.  I suspect that miss me a thing or two with VP, I don't use it very often, so I'd love to hear it from someone who has really under control?

  

• Slow down gradually by typing in the text block

  I read all the other threads regarding typing slow in InDesign, but I had not anything the problem that I am facing. My problem is that typing becomes gradually slow when you type in certain blocks of text, that is, it is fast when I start typing in the empty block, but as the text block is filled with the text, it becomes slow.

  I use two types of blocks of text on each page of my document: one with no style whatsoever and the other with a style of object including a border, two rounded corners and margins. This gradually typing slow occurs only in the second type of text block.

  I hit a relatively small (7 MB, less than 300 pages), file text without columns, cross-references, paste them from other applications, connecting blocks of text, or any of the other usual culprits for slow typing I've read about. Nothing else in InDesign is slow, including typing in the other type of text block (without borders, etc.).

  Any ideas?

  Its most likely the rounded corners that is causing the slow down.  Not sure how RADIUS helps you, but having to calculate how to keep the text with rounded corners is much more expensive than when the text block is a simple box.  A suggestion to help alleviate the problem is to break the document by chapter upward, so that you do not have the end of a chapter that connects the beginning of the next.  When you have a large number of pages of text all flow from one page to another, editing text in a page means that all of the following must be recalculated.  Break this cascade of changes from one page to the other will help with performance.  A disadvantage is that you need to be careful and watch the overset text or blank pages that passes at the end of each chapter.

• Table header row gets cut off from view when the text block is resized

  I'm designing a table that has a header row, 6 body rows and 5 columns. I want the header skewed to 20º and rotation type of needles from the same angle. Knows someone who worked with tables, it is not possible to rotate the text to this value via the parameters of the cell, but the job is to split the table into two blocks of text. The lower sash will be the body lines, but the Executive must have the header where it gets skewed to the specified angle. The text must be created in separate and then cut and paste frames in each column header and then it can be rotated.

  The problem I have is when I try to drag the bottom of the text block to the top while the header remains visible, the header gets cropped view. The only way to prevent it from is Cup is I leave the first line in the frame, but then it gets skewed is not what I want. It seems that the block of text ignores the header still exists. The screenshot below has two tables. The top version is the one that I want to apply the effect to. The bottom has the effect, but his top line is a line of body (not a header).

  

  I don't think that it is possible to have a heading row without at least a body line in the framework...

• Type of entry in the text block

  Hello

  Is it possible to define a text frame on a master page and be able to enter text in the image in the document itself, without separate the text block and his master?

  This is for CS4.

  Thank you.

  It depends on the nature of your question. You must override the image on the document page (Shift click command) to add content, but anything that does not change on the page of the document is still linked to the main frame (such as size, position, fill, stroke, etc.). Is that what you mean?

• position of the image/text in the text block

  Hello

  I use textframe to place images and text.

  WHN I put the text / images, by default, the images are aligned at the top of the text block, I need to put it at the bottom of the textframe.

  is there a possible adjustment of the document actuive / app so that by default the content should be aligned to the bottom

  Thank you.

  Search in the object that defines the vertical positioning: textFramePreferencesand you will see there at the time of the Document and the Application as possible parents.

  app.activeDocument.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN;
  

  define the default for new text frames downwards. You can also use

  app.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN;
  

  to set it as a global preference for all your new documents, but anyway this sounds like a bad idea.
