Prevention of the forms of text block

When I draw a shape (box, circle, etc.) with the tool form - I usually insert columns with text inside them. The form is usually a boarder of the page and sometimes I have to change.

Several times just by clicking on my text tool in the area of the shape transforms this form in a block of text.

I need to find a way to prevent the form turns into a block of text.

There are several ways to handle this. One is to turn off the preference which allows the tool to type convert images to text blocks.

Another is to put these borders on their own layer and lock the layer.

A third is actually use the feature to combine the border and a text frame, if it is appropriate for the page layout.

    Hi Dave,.

    I have good news for you:

    There are two ways to do what you want:

    The first is the simplest and is already in Windows 7 (and Vista by the way):

    1. highlight one or more files that you want to know the way in Explorer.
    2. press and hold the SHIFT keyand right-click on one of the highlighted files.
    3. when the popup menu appears, click the entry in the path of the copy which appeared as if by magic, because you're now the SHIFT key.

    A slightly better method, IMO, but it takes a little extra work is to add an extension to the send menu to allow you to right-click on one or more files and choose send to-> Clipboard (as name).  This somehow me seems more practical, because I'm used to the way in which the rear PowerToys when.  Such an extension, which also adds a nice Panel to help you manage the menu send to, is a neat package small freeware called send to toys, by Gabriele Ponti, which can be downloaded here: http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/index.html#sendtotoys

    A nice feature of the program send to toys, is that you can even have it put quotes around any path to file that contains white space.  Practice indeed!

    I hope this helps!

  • BlackBerry 10 how to write e-mail in the form of text and NO HTML?

    Hello

    I now use a brand-new Q10 of Blackberry and also a Q5 brand new.

    How can I write e-mails as text and not in the html code?

    Some of my business partners cannot receive emails from my blackberry because their

    usually the firewall blocks the html code.

    OK, the only email text is on 10.2.1

    Your response confirms that.

    Who is your service provider mobile (you have filled in this part of your profile on the forum here)?

    Most have released the 10.2.1 and if yours does not, you can update manually if you want, I can give you instructions for this if necessary.

  • change the color of text blocks only the active layer

    Well my script to change the color of the text frame changes the color of all the blocks of text hidden or not.

    I need to change only the visible text blocks.

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    newCMYKColor = new CMYKColor();

    newCMYKColor.black = 0;

    newCMYKColor.cyan = 0;

    newCMYKColor.magenta = 0;

    newCMYKColor.yellow = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.textFrames.length; i ++) {}

    textArtRange = app.activeDocument.textFrames [i] .textRange;

    textArtRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = newCMYKColor;

    }

    }

    Any ideas on how the way only change the color of the text on the active layer blocks? In the final script I want to hide all other layers so if it could be done by a visible attribute more easily that would work just as well.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It will work for you?  Have not tested much beyond text blocks in groups and those who are just stand-alone on the layer.

    If (app.documents.length > 0) {}

    var thisDoc = app.activeDocument;

    newCMYKColor = new CMYKColor();

    newCMYKColor.black = 00;

    newCMYKColor.cyan = 40;

    newCMYKColor.magenta = 50;

    newCMYKColor.yellow = 50;

    Need to retrieve blocks of text within the groups on the layer.

    var artSel = thisDoc.activeLayer.groupItems;

    for (i = 0; i<>

    If (artSel [i] .hidden == false) {}

    var text = .textFrames artSel [i];

    for (j = 0; j<>

    text [j].textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = newCMYKColor;

    }

    }

    End to change the rest of the outside groups text boxes.

    var textArtRange = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textFrames;

    for (k = 0; k<>

    If (textArtRange [k] .hidden is false)

    textArtRange [k].textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor = newCMYKColor

    Hi, I feel I ask a stupid question but I am about to throw my computer out the window, so I have about him asking anyway.

It wont let me click on it, I tried command - click as when you want to select an object in another, but it does not work.

  • Master to the Page header text block

    Hello, I'm new to indesign and using CS4.  Sorry if this is a newbie question.

    I create a pdf of the digital presentation and aligning.  I want to create a consistent header on every page in the upper left and ensure that it is in the exact same on each page.  I also want to make sure that the size of the text, the police and the color is consistent on every page.  More important still, if I need to change anything, say a police, I want to only do it in one place and not do it on all 20 pages in my document.

    My understanding is to add a block of text to the master page.  However, how can I change the text on each page and have it not show on my front page which is page 1 of my document?

    Thank you!!!

    Create a text frame on the master page (if it is large enough and deep enough for the longer title)

    Insert a generic text like "topic".

    Give it a paragraph style

    Adjust the style of paragraph to your taste

    Go to each page you want to change and SHIFT CTRL (cmd on mac shift) and double-click the "topic".

    Change the text to what you want it to look.

    To change the color/font of text etc for each of them - adjust the paragraph style

    To change the text style for each of the headings so they are different in terms of colour etc - just change the color of characters via the color chart.

    If you do this, then all changes to the paragraph style must follow through on all pages - except where you may have changed the color of the characters (or any other change adjusted by hand the text.

    Also - if you move the text frame on the master page they should all move on corresponding pages, if you have not moved the hand on the actual pages.

  • Adjust the space between text blocks

    Dear Indesign users,

    I am new to InDesign and need help with the following:

    I have about 20 pages each with two blocks of text. The angles of the text boxes are all set differently, but I need even spacing. Is it possible to assign a certain spacing between them.

    InDesign.png

    I tried with guides, but to my knowledge, you can not adjust the angle of the guides.

    Thanks for your help.

    Ferdinand

    Meanwhile, you could always temporarily add a rule below the text in the text frame at the top. Define the offset on exactly the space you need; so you have a visual guide.

    If you change the paragraph style (you have used paragraph styles, haven't you?) simply "allow" only once. then reposition your boxes; Finally, remove the line again.

  • How to retrieve messages from the temporary file of windows in the form of text messages

    Hello

    We have used Thunderbird on Windows 7 for almost a year. And we have been very happy with it and had no problems.

    Today, somehow it has taken during the last six weeks of the messages in our Inbox and moved them in the mailbox of Archives in a folder called '2015 '. I don't know how or why it does this.

    More important still, when I opened this file and attempted to transfer the messages to my Inbox, messages simply disappeared. I finally found them under the Windows Temp file.

    I tried to recover these messages in our Inbox, but all attempts have failed. All messages now have a text file extension. My guess is that the file type is not correct now.

    How can I get these messages restored in my Inbox?

    Thank you

    GMS

    After looking for the message objects based on my outgoing messages during the period, I finally found the missing incoming messages. They were in the Inbox of my Eudora import. I must have put there by mistake instead of the Inbox for my main account. Me dummy.

    While I am relieved to have found them, I still don't know how the Archive was created in the first place. But I don't want to give credit to some creative stepping of a cat. More probably, they hit the right keys to make it happen. I suppose a programmer of Thunderbird could know how it happened.

    Thanks to all who tried to help.

  • iMessage discounts, then sent in the form of text

    Hello

    I sent an iMessage that was delivered. Thirty seconds later, I sent the same contact another message that came as delivered as text. No idea why?

    thsnks.

    The ability to send/receive iMessages depends on both sides, the sender (you) and the receiver. If the data access is interrupted by the other, then the message can either fail, or if you send as SMS check in iMessage, he'll go as an SMS. These anomalies can occur, it attaches once everyone has an active connection to the internet.
