Need text box changes to reflect through the document.

Hi all

I'm pretty new in InDesign. I was wondering if there's some way to do master text box changes reflect through the whole document used this master page after you move the text boxes on the documents. Is this possible?

So. Let's say that there is the block of text with the text on the master page. I decided to use this master page on a given document, but I needed to move the block of text with the text in this document. I won't be able to change the master page text?

Right. Once ignore you it and move on the live page, change the text on the master does not affect the text on the live page.

If you have the same frame with the same variable text appear in the same place on multiple pages, put that image on a master page is a good way to make your life easier. But if you need the same frame with the same variable text appears upwards in * different * places on many pages, there are more effective ways.

You don't mention a version. CS3 and CS4 allow variables (Type > text Variables). You can create a custom text variable and insert this variable in your document. Change the definition of the variable and this will change all at once. I think that a custom text variable cannot be more than one line long, but the only limit to the length of the line is the length of the block of text that is.

For more than one line, you can make your block of text in a separate document, export it to PDF and then place the PDF anywhere in your document. Edit the new document, PDF export and it will change all at once. In CS3 or CS4, you can also directly put your separate Indesign document into your working document. No necessary PDF.

    I just updated my indesign to CC of CS5. One thing I notice which is annoying is some text boxes and images go live. For example, if you close a text box in CS5 you close the box you see reformat the text to set the new size. In CC, the text does not reformat until you are done change the size of the box.

  • y at - it a keyboard shortcut for go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the address bar?

    I can use Alt + D to reach the address bar to enter a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page was opened, using a shortcut key? I have the commands in the shortcut keys page doesn't recognize as not being what I want.

    Not as far as I know. Sites may assign a keyboard shortcut to a text field if they like, known as an AccessKey, but he is not necessarily going to be any consistency, and the site you may not be using one.

    It is possible, there could be an add-on or userscript to help with this. Or otherwise, someone might be able to write one for a particular site.

  • Text boxes, change the text of locking

    Hello

    Is it possible to create text boxes in Adobe Reader ms and their locking in place, but being able to add text and editing text says?

    If there is any other way to add says "boxes" that are locked and change the text inside them while I am also open to these suggestions.

    The main problem, unlocked boxes, I use is that I want them to be a specific width and once I go and change the text and click outside the box, width changes and the text is aligned is more correctly, since I'm getting centered.

    I found this other question by another person who seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm afraid that I don't understand the response:

    Restrict editing of text only; not move the content irrelevant.

    Form fields are available in the product that I use?

    Thank you!

    You can only add form fields in Reader by using a script like this, I developed: Scripts Adobe custom: Reader - create form fields in Adobe Reader

    However, you cannot apply a security policy that will prevent users from adding text outside your fields.

    I think a better solution for you would be to get Acrobat, if. It will allow you both to add form fields and apply a security policy (and many other things).

  • Captivate 9 - text entry area - cannot navigate through the input of text boxes on the same slide using enter key (works only tab)

    I designed a slide that has 3 areas of text entry.

    I need the user to be able to type in their response to the first box and then press the ENTER key, it will pass them in the next text box. After typing in their response to the second box, press ENTER, and then have developed pass to the third area.

    I don't want to use tab, I want to go to work as a shortcut key, so this works well on all devices. It feels like a trip to the logic of the user.

    I removed the button SUBMIT and check the validate user input.

    I put the shortcut key to ENTER in propriety / Actions area

    However, after that type in an answer and pressing on enter, the focus is not moved in the input text box available at the following address on the same blade.

    This happens regardless of browser (tested Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and IE9/10) and also OS - Windows 7, Mac OSX 10.9, 10.10 and latest version of iOS

    Only the tab key works (Ive even tried with other keyboard shortcuts and it always comes back to TAB).

    I know that this feature is possible in Captivate 9. I have read and watched many tutorials online, it seems a very basic feature. I could be wrong.

    This is a feature of wholesale/known or I'm doing something wrong.

    If a bug, is there a plan to fix it soon?

    Indeed, your problem is related to the Enter key as a shortcut key, not to have multiple TEB and one absolutely validation button. Take a look at this article very old (you are not the first to ask about this):

    A submit button for multiple text entry boxes? -Captivate Blog

    But here I explained to indicate to the user click in a next TEB, do not use input.

  • When you use the "Fill & sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to resize the text box, to an area of the page... rather than through a long straight line...?

    When you use the "Fill & sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to resize the text box on a specific area of the page... instead of the text box is in a long straight line...? I do not see there is an option or the ability to do so, just want to confirm.

    Improving the management of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you need to add manual carriage return (Enter).

  • Prefill a text box from a selection of the option button

    Hi people,

    I just noticed an error in one of my first attempts at Javascript - luckily I don't think that one of my colleagues have noticed yet, but I need to fix it as soon as possible!

    I have two radio buttons naned "Radio Button13". One is for when the person is full time and one for when they are part-time. When the full time button is selected, I get text (that I placed in the value of the button) to fill out in advance a text box below. The text is something like "38 hours per week. Part-time has nothing.

    In the Mouse Up script for full-time, I placed:

    If (this.getField("Yes").value is "1")

    = this.getField("Working_Hours").value ' 08:30 to 17:00 Monday to Friday " < < < this text is same not the same as the value of the button so I don't know why I put that here, this is not what I want in the text box.

    The text of the button value is reflected in the area of text (called "working time") very well, but the idea is that when part-time work is selected, the user is able to enter the hours in the area. You can type, but as soon as you leave the text box, the text disappears.

    Where am I wrong? How can I solve this problem?

    It is not wrong, but it answers my question. If you keep things put in place what they are now, you can use the following custom calculate script:

    (function () {}

    Get a reference to the Group of radio buttons

    and its value

    var f = getField ("Radio Button13");

    v var = f.valueAsString;

    Allow the user to enter text

    Event.Target.ReadOnly = false;

    Located only value in this field if a change in the option box

    is what triggered this script

    If (event.source & event.source = f) {}

    Si (v ! == « Off » && v ! == "«) {}

    Event.Target.ReadOnly = true;

    Event.Value = v;

    } else {}

    Event.Value = "";

    }

    }

    })();

  • External SWF dynamic text box.  How to target the area of text in AS3?

    Hello... I am loading an external file in a master file. Load the external file into an empty clip that is located on the stage of the main file. This external file that is loaded has a dynamic text box that I am trying to target using AS3.


    The way he did in AS2 has emptyMovieClipName.textBoxName.text = "whatever" "


    I tried to focus my text box using this same code, but it does not work in AS3 environment.

    Clues how proceed in AS3 would be appreciated!

    you load not in a vacuum. you are attaching a child magazine empty and property content loader is the main timeline of your external swf.

    Here's how you need to reference your textfield in your external swf file:

  • Empty text box value when reading about the LV2012 development system but no Production

    Development platform: 32-bit Windows 7, LV2012 Professional Development System.

    Production of platforms: Windows XP.

    We have a test application, we have developed (in haste, I might add) who has a curious problem.  As part of the installation for each test, read us a text box with a serial number entry and record them in the log files.  Series enough.

    This works very well on production machines - no apparent problem.

    However, on the development computer, when I try to read the text box, all I get is an empty string.  I tried to read directly from the Terminal, as well as using a property value box.  Each time, there is nothing in the string.  This is even though I'm looking at the text box and there are visible data in it.

    Clear the text box repeatedly, I'm looking to see if any of those that occur at the wrong time.  And, indeed, I am looking a probe value of ' ' from the property node Value with the string "1234" visible in the text box while NONE of the compensation functions have been affected.

    The test application uses a pretty standard user interface event loop model, with an event loop manages the user input and the other event loop manages the business logic.

    Anyone have any idea what can cause this, or a better search string to find clues?

    Thank you

    Geoff

    As promised, I did go to the bottom of it.

    Simply enable "update of value while typing" gave me the result I expected.

    To explain: I had a key event down to the first text box that has been copied to this text box.  Whenever a key was hit in this text box, the value would be read and updated.  I did not have all the events for the new text box.  It has not been updated to what some other events.  At that time, it was apparently too late (most of the time on the development computer) and occasionally on the Production machine.

    Activation of the "Update value while typing" indicator means that the value field would properly up-to-date each time he has been seen/accessible.

    Life is a learning experience...
