Paintings, boxes, text and notes

Hello

I have a project in InDesign. It comes to laws, regulations, etc. and it is full of notes. So far no problem. The author wants some parts of the text should be brought in blue boxes. Therefore, I have three options (at least three I know):

1. place the parts of the text in tables (blue fill and 1pt black border)

2. to reduce the main text area until the last line until the text is printed on a blue background, then clicking on the right at the bottom of this block of text to create a new image (linked to above) and apply the blue background, the inside and border margins.

3. to create a text box with filling blue and black 1 pt border, put the text inside and put this box as an inline object in InDesign.

In all these cases, I can easily work with styles so won't really be a problem. BUT.

a. If I use option 1 notes are going to be "stripped" (have no idea what this means, but I think that they are deleted or moved at the end of the document). Not a good idea as this, I lost 2 356 notes notes. Lucky me, I noticed that at the time.

b. If I have two option, then I eventually go through text boxes on the same page with a series of two notes.

c. If I choose option three little matter what I try notes will be shared between these two images.

That's why I tried another approach. I simply draw an object including the border and blue fill and put behind the text selected. If I am anchoring this box for text, so it moves with the text box just above the text. Same thing happens if I put the box on another layer. Once bound to a paragraph, sometimes in the same layer and above the text.

So I made the most stupid thing ever that I usually hate and left these boxes not anchored to any part of the text. The bad idea if the text runs upward and down boxes will stay were they are now.

Are there other solutions that I could use and do a cleaning and a professional project?

Thank you for your time and effort.

Sincerely,

Sebastian

What version of ID do you use?

2015 CC has a new paragraph shading device which would be ideal to do this, with the exception of the black line. In any version, I think you should be able to do this work by adding an empty paragraph before one that needs shading, then anchor your blue box as an inline (non-custom) into one. Drag it to the bottom and he has to move behind the following text. I would create a paragraph for these empty paragraphs style which includes a Dungeon with then 1 line Option keep and another style for sections shaded for all the lines together. In some versions of ID, you can eliminate the first keep option and a spirit of 2nd Dungeon line 1 above, adds the shaded paragraph style.

  • from new text boxes, text is not quite all the way to the top

    I work off someone elses ID CS4 files and there is a "Preset" I can not understand how to disable

    With the new text boxes, I'm starting, the text is slightly lower than at the top left as it normally would be.  Ive checked the vertical offset, which is set to 0, also verified the inset spacing which is 0 on all sides.  This could be the cause?

    Check the options of text block. Looks like the first baselin is leading instead of ascension (nothing bad at all), or there may be an applied custom baseline grid (or even a ducment baseline grid) and the first baselin is lower than expected and calls for the alignment on the grid style.

  • When "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" is not checked in the menu options, I can't see images on Web sites. How can I maintain with the box unchecked and always display images?

    I recently decided to spend autour colours in Firefox. I work in a fairly dark environment and have the dark color on white or light background text is quite difficult on my eyes in the dark.

    I changed the background to a dark gray, light gray text and visited the two and links not visited in a blue light. With these changes, I unchecked the "allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" box.

    After unchecking the box, I'm more able to display images on many sites. Turn all grey images - as if Firefox has changed their image in part of the background. When I check the box, I am able to see fine pictures, however, Web sites typically return to their light background with dark text.

    Any help and assistance with this is greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!

  • Satellite A350: Highlight text, and then delete or BACKSPACE will not erase the text

    I have a new Satellite A350. When I surligner highlight the text, then try to remove or back up it will not delete the text. This happens in the line URL, Windows Mail and Word.

    The key SUPPR and button both work individually, but I'm used to being able to select lines of text, and then type on (or pressing delelte) it to disappear.

    Now I can not delete text except by backspacing of the text.
    Y at - it a setting I can change or is this a problem with the laptop?

    -Click the box called "Typing replaces selection" sub + mounting options + and then click OK.

    Check if that helps.

  • Acrobat Standard DC - can't change the text and text box properties

    Earlier this week, I lost the ability to change the properties of the text and text boxes.

    When I add a comment with a text box or in the text caption, I do all the time, I used to be able to change the font color, size, alignment, etc.

    Now, when I go to insert a text box or the legend, all the options in the properties bar are grayed out.

    This issue effects ONLY the text in the box and the caption functions. all the other drawing functions work very well. I can change the color, fill and the type of lines around the text, I can just change the text.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

  • Can I still create my site design by dropping the images, the texts and the text boxes or what I have to learn code?

    Can I still create my site design by dropping the images, the texts and the text boxes or what I have to learn code?

    Database coding (HTML & CSS) is necessary to get the most out of DW.   It of not an app drag & drop like Photoshop or Illustrator.

    If coding isn't your strong point, try Adobe Muse.  MU is for designers and non-codeurs enjoy working in a GUI.   You are limited with what you can build with MU.  So don't expect to do advanced stuff or you will not be disappointed.  But for the basis of hobby, charity or vanity sites, MU might be all you need.

  • How can I remove putting highlight and notes when editing text and images? I right click about to yellow organ and I get no option.

    There is a yellow nail that covers the text and I can't remove it. Someone added a few notes and a highlight in my document and now none of us can take it off. Some elements of the note may be deleted at the same time. the border dotted yellow note box, and then the yellow color of the note box. I can't delete the note text, while the text of the note is persistent between the text of the document.

    I tried to do a right click on the yellow hightlight but I have no options to remove it.

    I tried to select the text you want to delete and delete text but the yellow highlight remains.

    Can someone provide suggestions?

  • How to copy/paste the text box anchor to its anchor text and remove all checkpoints empty?

    Hi all

    I have a document of a few pages, but a story. The right column is the area of main text and on many places, anchored text boxes are placed which appears on the left column, as shown below.

    I want the text of each text box anchor to cut of his place and sticking to its point of insertion/anchor and remove all of the empty boxes of anchored.

    I'm trying since this morning but I was able to get the anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be useful.

    OK, let's say you have a main text (not rooted) box and three text boxes that are anchored to the text it contains. One is anchored with text, the second is not anchored and the third argument is empty (I won't get into the anchor vs custom anchor line given that you mention in your message).

    Scroll us through the items on the page:

    function main(){
      var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
      var myPages = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
      for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++){
      {
        var myPage = myPages[i];
        //Checks that the page is valid, and that it is not a master page. If either is true, skips to the next page.
        if (myPage.isValid == false) continue;
        if (myPage.parent instanceof MasterSpread) continue;
        var myItems = myPage.allPageItems;
        for (var j = 0; j < myItems.length; j++){
          //Current item.
          var myItem = myItems[j];
          //If myItem doesn't have a Character parent, it is not anchored.
          //The first and third text frames would fail this test.
          if (!(myItem.parent instanceof Character)) continue;
          //We only care about text frames.
          if (!(myItem instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
          //I think the only way this would happen would be if you had an image or
          //something else unexpected within the frame. I check for it so no content
          //is inadvertently lost.
          else if (myItem.texts.length > 1) continue;
          //If we're still in this iteration of the loop, all qualifications are met.
          //Flatten the text frame.
          //I don't use layers that often so, to me, flatten makes sense. You may want
          //to use a different term if there's a chance for confusion.
          flattenItem(myItem);
         }
       }
    }
    
    function flattenItem(funcItem)
    {
         //Hold onto the anchor character.
        var myParent = funcItem.parent;
         //Duplicate the text from within the frame so that it appears right after the anchor.
         //There may be other methods, but this works for me. I try to avoid copy/paste
         //so as not to deal with any clipboard mishaps. I added a check in case of empties.
         if (funcItem.texts.length > 0){funcItem.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myParent.insertionPoints[0]);}
         //Replace the anchor character itself with a space (or whatever) which also
         //deletes the text frame it was anchoring.
        myParent.contents = " ";
    }
    

    I guess the takeaway is perhaps you aren't looking at the main text block and then check if anything it is anchored. You are watching each text block and find out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.
