Primary text block

• In a primary text block text block

  Hello

  as a newbee in indesign css 6 I watched several videos, myself worked through tutorials and try different things. I would like to create a complete book with about 350 pages composed almost entirely of text. Due to the amount of text I thought to use a block of text within pages of various books.

  However, there is a specialty. After some of the topics, there is a reference with the name of the author of this quote. Citations should be justified, but chocked right (the right edge of the block justified must be to the right of the page). A separate text block would be good for this. However, within a block of primary text I can't place another block of text, right? What options should I? I have to remove the primary text block and put all the text in a string of text frames manually?

  Kind regards

• C# / JavaScript how to set the primary text block?

  Hello

  I'm working with InDesign scripting API with c# for my work. I'm new to both the InDesign scripting API and using InDesign as well.

  I am building a gap of master, with blocks of text so that the text block on the left page of the cheese would pass in the block of text on the right page.

  
  

  I read there is the option block of primary text for the master spread, but I can't seem to understand how to use it.

  Is there someone who could show me an example of script code to define the framework of primary text for a master page/spread?
  

  
  

  Here is the code I have for now.

  The question I have is in line 53, where when I try to run it, it gives me a very generic error 'Invalid object for this request.', which leads me to believe I'm doing it wrong.
  

          public static byte[] CreatePageBasedOnCreatedMasterSpread(string savePath)
          {
              Application application = ActivateInDesign();
  
  
              // Create new document
              application.Documents.Add(true, application.DocumentPresets.FirstItem());
  
  
              // Get active document and change some settings
              Document document = application.ActiveDocument;
              document.DocumentPreferences.FacingPages = true;
              document.DocumentPreferences.PageWidth = 210;
              document.DocumentPreferences.PageHeight = 297;
  
  
              document.DocumentPreferences.CreatePrimaryTextFrame = true;
              document.TextPreferences.SmartTextReflow = true;
  
  
              MasterSpread masterSpread = document.MasterSpreads.Add();
              masterSpread.BaseName = "CustomMasterSpread";
              masterSpread.NamePrefix = "AC";
  
  
              //Set the document's ruler origin to page origin. This is very important
              //--if you don't do this, getting objects to the correct position on the
              //page is much more difficult.
              document.ViewPreferences.RulerOrigin = idRulerOrigin.idPageOrigin;
  
  
              Page leftPage = masterSpread.Pages.FirstItem();
              Page rightPage = masterSpread.Pages.LastItem();
  
  
              leftPage.MarginPreferences.Top = rightPage.MarginPreferences.Top = 10;
              leftPage.MarginPreferences.Bottom = rightPage.MarginPreferences.Bottom = 10;
              leftPage.MarginPreferences.Left = rightPage.MarginPreferences.Left = 30;
              leftPage.MarginPreferences.Right = rightPage.MarginPreferences.Right = 20;
  
  
              // Create a text frame. Do not add text to this, as this is a master spread text frame.
              // Link their flow together
              TextFrame primaryFirstPageTextFrame = leftPage.TextFrames.Add(document.Layers.FirstItem(), idLocationOptions.idUnknown, leftPage);
              TextFrame primarySecondPageTextFrame = rightPage.TextFrames.Add(document.Layers.FirstItem(), idLocationOptions.idUnknown, rightPage);
              primaryFirstPageTextFrame.NextTextFrame = primarySecondPageTextFrame;
              //Set primary text frame of master spread to be the two linked textframes
  
  
              primaryFirstPageTextFrame.GeometricBounds = GetPageBoundsWithMargin(leftPage, document);
              primarySecondPageTextFrame.GeometricBounds = GetPageBoundsWithMargin(rightPage, document);
           
              masterSpread.PrimaryTextFrame = primaryFirstPageTextFrame; //This causes the error
           
              return GetFileData(document, savePath);
          }
  
  

  I noticed the JavaScript API that is very similar to c#, so it would be useful if I get a response from JavaScript.

  Hi Michael,

  Basically, you can do something like this (in ExtendScript):

  //Store value:
  var storedPreset = app.documentPresets[0].createPrimaryTextFrame;
  
  //Let's set it to true:
  app.documentPresets[0].createPrimaryTextFrame = true;
  
  //Add the document, name the master as you wish etc.pp. :
  app.documents.add
  (
  
      {
          documentPrefreneces :
              {
                  facingPages : true
                  ,
                  pageWidth : "210 mm"
                  ,
                  pageHeight : "297 mm"
  
              }
      }
  
  );
  //Reset to stored value:
  app.documentPresets[0].createPrimaryTextFrame = storedPreset;

• Adding a block of primary text subsequently?

  Hello

  My question is if it's possible to add a primary text block to an existing InDesign document?

  I already started to add content and set up my styles of paragraphs etc., but recognized that a primary text block would be much more comfortable...

  Thanks for your help!

• Eratic behavior: book, the main text blocks and Cross References

  I'm on InDesign 2014.2. Mac.

  I'm working on a fairly large book. About 14 chapters / sections, about 400 total pages. There are also hundreds of cross references, almost all of them to anchor references.

  The design of the book is as simple as possible. There is no graphics, text blocks only.

  I use a single master page, with facing pages, and a block of text type. I used it throughout the production of the book, and the primary text flow worked well, chapter after chapter. Pages have been created automatically, and automatically flowed text.

  Maybe I need to change the page size of the book, and I also have a lot of editing to do which will reduce a lot of the chapters. I wanted to make sure all pages use the main text flow to do that, go as gently as possible.

  To my dismay, I discovered that although I used systematically throughout the book master text streams, all but three of my chapters have inexplicably lost their text stream. All images in these chapters have converted into ordinary images. That I edit the book, it's playing havoc with paging and referrals.

  I tried to restore the flow of text in one of the first chapters. It's easy to do, in theory.

  • Move the first page off to the side frame
  • Delete all pages except the first page
  • Command-shift-click on the first page to restore the flow of the main text
  • Copy and paste the contents of the old frame into the primary stream restored.

  
  

  When I do, the pages to move properly, and I'm back to having a chapter with a block of primary text on each page. Unfortunately, this breaks all cross-references that refer to this newly reorganized chapter and all references to the front in this chapter.

  
  

  I tried to do all that I could imagine. Only remove the frames and not pages. Try without the busy book. Nothing works. I tried the command update cross-references in the book menu. Has nothing.

  
  

  It seems impossible to redistribute the text in a new primary master framework, without completely breaking the cross references.

  I finally found something that seems to work:

  • Create a new master page at the end of the document.
  • Go to the last page of the history of the chapter and the last history image a link to the text block type on the page that you just created.
  • In the pages palette, delete all pages in the document, with the exception of the master page that you created.

  All text will be redistributed within the frameworks of masters, and cross-references (to and from the frame) seem to be intact.

• Rotate the text with the character within the text block style

  I would like to apply a paragraph or character style to a certain character in a text frame. I would need to rotate 90 degrees in the framework, separate from the other text. Is this possible?

  Insert the text block in the block of text as an anchor and rotation you need.

• 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.

• How to bind the text blocks between pages?

  Hello

  I searched all autour for this, and I'm guessing that the answer could be so simple that no tutorial it doesn't even mention:

  How can I link the blocks of text between pages? I made a block of text in each master page and then connected one left with the one on the right. Indeed, all of the text in the document is linked from the page on the left of the right-hand page. But how do I link the page on the right with the following two pages 'below' in the document?

  If I'm not clear, here is another attempt to explain: I'm going to insert a lot of text in a document, and I already know the size and the type of text block, I want the text inserted. When I put the text in the left side, it connects (goes on) the block of text on the right side. But it stops there. So I have to manaully through both pages, which connects the right page "at the top" with the left 'below', page by clicking on the image by clicking on the small arrow in the lower right corner, and clicking on the next page below. There must be a way to organize it in master pages or in some other way?

  Thanks in advance for helping me with this problem of small size, but huge!

  Best

  Two things...

  For "automatic formatting" to work with Captain linked frames page, you must NOT release the Master frame before placing the text, and you must click inside the image area, not any sort of guide.

• Why my text block go dark?

  Hi, I had a big problem when editing on indesign.

  Here's the original appearance before that I have to insert the picture, everything is perfect↓

  

  as you can see, the block of text is blue light now.

  but, when I insert the image below my page, it will...

  

  the text block turns into dark blue and the words gets more daring than the previous.

  It is of course bolder↓

  

  He drags crazy me.

  Please help me ~ ~ ~

  Thank you very much!

  Looks like the picture transparency, which will call the merger of transparency of the document workspace. Try setting the merger in RGB space. If the document is printed on an offset press, you will need to look for the text to be converted to 4-colour CMYK when the merger is RGB.

• text block, no packaging, moving up like browser width decreases

  Hello

  I have a block of text in one of my breakpoints, that, when I adjust my browser window to check collisions, etc., he dresses not and moves upward into my position.  on all other breakpoints, wrapped as it should, and other blocks of text on the BP even behave as they should. I even tried to delete the offender and copy of text blocks in the operation, but he always does.  Any thoughts?

  See you soon

  delete the image under the text

  Insert a slider widget to empty library instead of the drop down menu on the right

  remove the arrows, next, previous etc just make a single 'keeper' for the image and add images in the widget

  size on page etc as the original image. Make sure that you use the layers panel to organize the slider under the text.

• Muse: Text blocks the lower graphic States

  I created buttons with rollover States: Normal with a 30% opacity. Rollover, Mousedown and Active: shadow 100% more drop. It is related to the landing page. So far so good.

  I want the text for each button to be 100% opacity all the time (he has a shadow too) so it is easy to read (not spent 30%), so it is in a separate text block, also linked to the landing page.

  

  In preview mode, when I rollover, mousedown, etc. the button background works as it should (go from 30% to 100%).

  

  Until he hits the block of text. He text block "shields" (for lack of better term) the State and the button returns to its Normal state:

  

  I tried to solve this with layers without result. So... my question is the following:

  How can I get the text above the button in a constant state of 100% and do not have the text block are interfering with the States below.

  Of course, I forgot something. What Miss me?

  Thanks in advance.

  The easiest way to do this is to use the "status button" comes with Muse widget.

• Script to remove all the images, text blocks, and the page numbers on a layer

  I have a 364 pages with 322 illustrations, photographs mainly, for offset printing.

  The photographs will be be overprinted with the varnish on a plate in the fifth, and I set it up as follows:

  On a new layer, (double layer 1) all photos are removed, but not their mounts.

  The frames are then filled with 100% black.

  All text blocks and page numbers must also be deleted.

  I realize I could have done this job easier if I put all the images on their own layer first, but unfortunately I do not have.

  And I don't do myself, script, so I was wondering if anyone has a script that will do...

• 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!
