New text frame settings

Hi, I have an Indesign file. When you create a new text frame defaults to...

Fonts: Helserif

Size: 9.5pt

Attack: 12.047pt

Also, the text is printed to line up on the starting grid.

This isn't the standard paragraph style settings and paragraph styles standard is the single paragraph style in the document.

This occurs if you add a new block of text in the document on any Mac as well as on Indesign Server.

I know how to change the text and if I go to paragraph styles and select standard paragraph and then all new blocks of text created is the default 12pt times which is not line up on the starting grid.

But I need to know how it goes in the first place that you can have some settings for new text frames added to the document on any computer and these new blocks of text have no paragraph style, but have custom settings.

Thanks in advance, Tim

You talk about InDesign default setting.

If you want to set the font family, size, etc. for text when you create a new document, perform you the settings with no document open ("Document No." State). With the blank screen in InDesign, select the text tool. On the Control Panel, set the font family, size, etc. you want. When you create a new document, those who will be the defaults for all new documents that you create when you create a block of text.

If you want to set default values for a document that you have already created, uncheck everything. Then choose the text tool and set the font, the font size family. When you make a new block of text in this document, it will use the settings that you created in this document.

  • race 2 blue dot on all new text boxes

    Hi, I worked in indesign on windows to create catalogs. I used the same file for two catalogs as my model works for both, but in both these files whenever I create a new text box, it is automatically given a point 2 blue around the text box. I would really like to know why this is happening and how to stop. Thank you.

    The blue line can be one of two things. I have not added all layers or change the default settings of the program, the bounding box for executives will be light when it is blue in layout mode. Not the line disappears when you hide the contours of the block (Ctrl/Cmd + H) or switch to preview mode? One edge of the image remains the same size, too, when you zoom in.

    Since you said 2 points, it is more likely a real race that is applied by default. You can kill that unchecking everything and checking that no stroke color not specified, or the weight of the race is set to 0. It is also possible that the object for new text frames style has defined race (open the object Styles Panel and find the style with the little icon with the T inside - by default it is the standard text block, but it might have been changed in the model). If this is the case, you can redefine the style of the object without the race - probably not the best idea because it will remove the line of existing objects that have this style applied - or you can change to a style of different object for the default text block (drag the icon).

  • Tutorial of the postcard - can't get the new text block started

    It is a very basic question. I do the tutorial of postcard. I'm unable to get a second text block began on the front of the postcard to the time of the event. I take the text tool and drag it, but it does not create a new text frame. He thinks I want to type the information in the context of existing text.

    I hit escape repeatedly to try and out the first block of text, clicking on the tool text several times, tried shift and click, put the date in a Microsoft Word's doc information and then tried to 'Place' - all to nothing done. How can I get the file to understand that I am creating a second block of text?  How to get out the original text block?

    This seems to be a problem for me, I can't "uncheck" any tool path - by clicking on another tool or hit escape. It does not work. I close the file, then open it new in order to use a new tool. Very frustrating and time-consuming. I work under Windows, if that helps.

    Thank you.

    Try to zoom a little and start your slide text tool starting off the page on the region of cardboard. Using the black selection tool, you can drag to the page and resize it using the bounding box handles.

  • Problem with the new text box - large size

    Hello

    I have a problem with InDesing and just can't understand why it's happening.

    When creating the text box (frame), I am selecting the text tool and want to drag a new text box, InDesing creates a new frame with size 1221, 058 x 1221, 058 mm (always, no matter what...). When I'm typing in it, the text is invisible, in the same way that it is out of reach of the size of the image (at the bottom right I see the Red Cross). It happenes even after hitting only one character and I can't make it visible (adjust to the right).

    Someone has any suggestions how to solve this problem?

    I will be grateful.

    Did you use a system font in the text box. If Yes, then try using a web Form or standard font and it works perfectly.

  • How to select objects based on a list written in a text frame?

    I want to choose objects whose names appear in a list in a text frame, but he cannot know.

    Let's say I have 200 items with very specific names that never change, like 'Polygon001', 'Polygon002', etc, and I put some of these names, classified or not, in a text box (or frame), comma - or CR-separated by tabs. I want to make a script that reads these names and selects the objects with the same name, so I can color, copy them or whatever. Is there a way to read such a list for this task? I'm new to scripting Illustrator and I think that would help me a lot when characteristic coloring in maps or copy a region to zoom-in.

    Thanks in advance!

    This should do what you want

    function list_to_selection(){
        var doc = app.activeDocument;
        var sel = doc.selection; // this will be the text frame
        var str = sel[0].contents; // get contents of text frame
        sel[0].selected = false; // deselect text frame
        var names = str.split(','); // split the string
        for(var i = 0; i < names.length; i++){
             // remove any white space from start and end of each name
            names[i] = names[i].replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,'')
            // get each item by name and select.
            doc.pageItems.getByName(names[i]).selected = true;

  • Bookmarks PDF failed, cannot connect text frames

    Using FrameMaker 10 to work, our books get their bookmarks shuffled around when convert us to PDF format. Topics in the section get jostled chapter previous, and topics of the first chapter just get dumped into level 1 with the chapter titles.

    That contain our chapters Bookmarks PDF resulting

    • Chapter 3

    I did some research, and the question above is usually because there are flows of separate text for the title of the chapter and the body of the text. It's true. Our chapter model a left & right page and a title page. The title page has just a stream of text "chapter title."

    I have tried to solve this problem, but immediately ran into a new problem. If I try to connect the text frame of the chapter title for the text block body either on the left or right page, I get the following error message:

    "This connection is not possible.

    You can try to connect two blocks of text which would result in a circular text stream, or you can try to connect to a stream of text of PostScript Code. »

    I looked, and the title of the chapter is not connected to anything I can say. Its text does not work anywhere else, and try to go on Page layout-> disconnect Next/Previous/the two just told me he is not connected to anything. If I look at the properties of the object to one of these blocks of text, none of them are marked as PostScript Code. I am at a loss here.

    Any ideas on how to get bookmarks that come out in the right order? We can repair the bookmarks later in Acrobat, but it is a tedious extra step that we sometimes forget. As far as I know, our model was made before the time of our current team. (none of us are really 'experts' on FrameMaker)

    FM treats the stream in the order they are created. Default FM documents already have a cast in place, in order to add the feed to the chapter title that would put after the first default one. If you try to connect the end at the beginning, i.e. to create a circular flow

    Create a new page master first with areas of text required in a single stream. Use the default text box located on the page when FM adds the new page master (usually you use the right page as your model for the first page) and shrink down to be the chapter title section, then add a new block of text to the page for the rest of the content [you now add this text frame/flow after the first]. After you add the headers and footers on the master page to check that the page layout is now visually the same. Remove the first old master page as a last step.

    You will probably have to remove the chapter title text blocks in other documents before importing the new provisions that FM will leave just these are in place and the new & old frames would end by lying on top of the other. Also copy & paste the chapter titles in the mainflow before the update so you don't lose the content.

    [Note: anyone who created the model was probably less than an 'expert' that you are now]

  • New text is always black instead of my currently selected fill color.

    Does anyone know a way to change this? So that I could choose, say, a shade of red for my fill, then click to create a new text box and have what I type be red? Now it always sets the fill color to C0M0Y0K100 now, I create a new text object. Which can be a total pain in the * if I happen to work on a black background.

    I have 'new art has basic appearance' off in the appearance palette, this isn't that.

    Some googling gives to think that I can change what the text insists on being of faffing round in panels of paragraph or character style, color, but is really not much better - I want to make it behave like the rest of the program, where my background and outline colors remain unchanged until I have change myself.

    Anyone got all solutions to this beyond "go report bug and maybe it will be fixed in five years?" I'm tired of my new items text by alt - drag an existing one in the color I want.

    What the hell no mod Forum Adobe the right answer isn't 'do my text, then set its color. The correct answer is "you can't do this because someone at Adobe thinks it is a good idea for the text tool do not walk as the rest of the program, go apply for a feature or a bug report. What I've done.

    My problem isn't that I don't know how to change the color of my text. I can do that very well. I did it several times I could even begin to estimate - almost every time that I went to bed a text object. My problem is that I have a colour that works perfectly with my image, then I click with the text tool and all of a sudden, I type in black. And when I cut and paste a few words of the text object to another, Illustrator also "useful" makes black. Even if neither the text I cut myself, or sticky, is black.

    It's especially infuriating when I get to work on a dark background and tape suddenly blind.

    As for "it could cause more problems than it solved," well, the object-> unlock all followed by select-> object-> all objects of the type, and then select black? And besides, we got fined for every year back before starting the engine of revamped type doing so a few years ago. Hell, just add the ability to assign "inherit the current settings" to the accident vascular cerebral/filling of a style in the character/paragraph publishers style both would make us happy - I could type some wacky aspect I wanted, and you have your default solemn C0M0Y0K100.

  • [AS] Help: Change the text in overflow &lt; text frame &gt;?

    Hello again,

    I am filling the blocks of text in my document with a randomtext in a table. Works fine now.

    But not knowing how many characters compatible with, in the text box, which has space for only one line, about 10 words, I'll try not to repeat the random process until that theres no overflow the box.

    The problem is this: when I edit text in the text block and it overflows, evil change the new text - but only the visible text gets crushed, leaving the rest overflowing in the box and keeps adding up and never ends the repeat loop.

    if class of myPageItem as String = "text frame" then

                          set text of myPageItem to «"& my TextFill()»»

                        repeat until overflows of myPageItem = false

    the value text of myPageItem to «"& my TextFill()»»

    end Repeat

    end if


    Its the thing with the text in the text frame... How to crush each text visible and not visible in the box, any suggestions?

    It does not work. What we have here is a failure to communicate. Here are the main points in javascript:

    myTextFrame = app.selection [0]; I chose a block of text with the type tool, drag

    myTextFrame.contents; the words that are part of the framework

    myTextFrame.parentStory.contents; the entire contents of the story, including everything in excess

    myTextFrame.overflows; true

    Make sure myTextFrame is a reference to an object in the image text.

  • How can I transfer text frames of the legend of the Slide Master view to view the film?

    I am a new user of Captivate.

    I created my own master slides. Many of them have blocks of text. My intention was to have the text frames appear whenever I have created a new slide in the Filmstrip view. Instead, I see just the text that I wrote (Insert text "here") in the background. I can't click and change the text in the view of the Film Strip.

    Could someone help me please? How can I make my text in the view of master frames appear as blocks of text whenever I create a new slide in the Filmstrip mode?

    Thank you.

    Levi

    If you want to "text frames", where the text can be changed in the view of the Film Strip, you must insert placeholders on the master slide. You probably insert text captions.
