Select the text to which an anchoredobject is attached

Hello

I have a couple of linked text frames, attached within the paragraph in another frame and I need to retrieve the paragraphs, but I don't see a way to do it.

I already select managers of related texts (and do something with them), but no matter what I try, I can't connected paragraph.

Is it possible to do this?

Let's say that you have chosen the anchor, then get the first paragraph into the anchor text block:

App.Selection [0] .textFrames [0] .paragraphs [0];

Now let's say you select a paragraph of text inside an anchored object. To get the paragraph that contains the anchored frame:

App.Selection [0] .parentTextFrames [0].parent.paragraphs [0]

HTH,

Ariel

  • UI of Firefox is slow by typing or selecting the text (after update 33.0)

    After the 33.0 update, I noticed that typing a backspace in any area on a Web page or even in the Firefox address bar is slow to echo, on a lag of 1 second. Also, by selecting the text typed (to remove a TI, etc.) by a click-and - drag quick selects the entire, but when I click in the dialog box to deselect, the part which has not been posted as selected initially, is selected for a moment before the string whole hilite selection disappears.

    What makes the browser very cumbersome to use.

    This seems to be new to 33.0. I tried to reset Firefox, but it does not solve the problem. No problem in IE 11.0, so I do not think that the malware. I have also to keep all s/w and run avast/zonealarm for safety. I've never had an infection of malicious software on this machine. Win7 Home Premium 64-bit, 8 GB of RAM.

    I have request the latest Microsoft "Patch Tuesday" updates 15/10, the same day that I updated to Firefox. This can complicate the diagnosis. But even once, IE was not affected, then, how the different Firefox UI for basic keyboard/screen I/O?

    If there is an easy way to "downgrade" to the 32.0.3 prior revision, I could try to confirm. Help, please!

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder of Firefox that store session data.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs open and closed tabs (back) to get lost and you will have to re-create them (take note or bookmarks if possible).

  • CMD T to select the text tool

    Hello

    Cmd T on a Mac to select the text tool.  But once the seizure ended I can't press 'V' to get the selection tool.  It will simply type the letter V.

    The solution I have is to make Cmd + B which selects the brush and then I can do my own letter for other tools.

    Is there another way that eliminates the extra step?

  • Select the text between 2 bookmarks with Javascript

    I'm trying to select text between 2 bookmarks. Now, I have this:

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var BB = doc.bookmarks.firstItem ();
    var be = bb.bookmarks.firstItem ();

    bb.showBookmark ();
    var en = app.selection [0];

    bb.showBookmark ();

    App.Select (app.selection [0].parentStory.insertionPoints.itemByRange (fr.index, to.index));

    This code does not work if bookmarks are on different pages.

    Any suspicion that must go in the call to app.select ()?

    What is the best way of art. to understand the DOM who uses app.select ()?

    This code does not work if bookmarks are on different pages.

    But it did, perfectly. I suspect that there is another problem.

    What is the best way of art. to understand the DOM who uses app.select ()?

    App.Select works as manually select the text. I think the underlying problem is that the text is not just "on pages", which is * not * a problem, but it's actually separate two stories. A script can only select contiguous text of the same story (a unique set of images of text block), just like you cannot select all the text in two unconnected blocks of text.

  • in InDesign CS6 text appears white when I select the text... :(

    For some time in InDesign CS6 text appears white when I select the text. And remains white when I it deselect.

    It is necessary to another page, higher or lower, to have the text re-appear.

    Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

    InDesign 8.1.0.419

    Make Explorer 5.5

    Adobe fonts

    If anyone has an idea...

    PS Yes:

    -J' cleaned out font caches

    -J' deleted Indesign preferences

    If you mean that the text seems to disappear, then it seems to be a relatively common problem with CS6 in El Capitan.

    I use CS6 with El Capitan and you encounter this problem sometimes. It happens constantly some days and other days not at all, but I've never established exactly what triggers it.

    As Bob says, CS6 is not supported, so it will not be a solution, but if this is the problem that you are experiencing then tap the display between 'Preview' and 'normal' pressing 'w' will fix it - temporarily.

  • Why I can't select the text in this pdf file

    Hello

    https://rapidshare.com/files/461732149/cannot_select.PDF

    I can't select text. When I try to select text, the cursor looks like a helping hand. It seems that there is a layer above the text. But when I use the Editor tool, I do not see any layer above the text. Is it possible to change the pdf file so that I can select some text?

    In fact, you should be able to select the text with the Touchup text tool if the annotation link is here or not. What is the tool you use?

    If you want to remove links, you can use the correction before the flight "to dispose of invalid links. At least the link in the sample document is not valid, because there is no action defined for it. You can also use the correction of 'Delete all annotations' to remove all the links that are present, even though you can edit or create a new correction to remove link annotations only.

  • (AS) Select the text of the paragraph without bringing out the carriage return

    (AS) Select the text of the paragraph without bringing out the carriage return character.

    I need help to select a paragraph in a story.
    The selection does not contain a 'return' (ASCII number 13 ")

    My current sample is as follows:
    -example assumes that the insertion point is already placed in a specific paragraph.

    Tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
    activate
    theDoc Set to the active document
    say theDoc
    Select the paragraph 1 of the selection
    end tell--theDoc
    end tell--app

    Sounds simple... The example above to select my paragraph selected.

    but he also chose the carriage return also. How would I go to do this?

    Any advice would be helpful!

    Thank you!

    Try:

  • Select the text to all_views returns an empty string

    My application allows the user to choose between the data provider for ODBC and the data provider for Oracle. (ODP)

    When you use the ODBC statement:

    Select the text in all_views where view_name = 'MYVIEW '.

    Returns the string expected.

    If I connect via ODP however it returns an empty string.
    (If I use "Select *" it tells me that the text_length is 154 in this case-, so there are certainly available text.)

    I think it has something to do with the fact that the data type is long.
    In both cases I recover data with rdr. GetChars(), that should work.

    If I use the dbms_metadata.get_ddl instead of this function, it returns the string (probably because the return type is LONG)
    Unfortunately this function works only for views in the current schema, while the original works of Select for any view.
    (And I don't know what version of Oracle, this feature has been added-I need to support older versions too).

    Similarly, if I use one of the XML functions to retrieve the text in XML format it works fine.
    (Again it is probably returned as a VARCHAR2 instead of a LONG.)

    The strange thing is that when I created my own table containing a column LONG, I've been able to load and retrieve data without any problem.

    The problem seems to be specific to this column in all_views.

    Anyone know a solution to this?

    Thank you

  • When I click on the URL bar or the search bar, it is not select the text or show the cursor as before.

    AS says the question, when I clicked on the search bar in previous versions, 'Google' would disappear and I would see the blinking cursor. When I click on the URL to a blank tab, he would choose the text, and I'd see a slider when I typed or backspaced to delete the selected text. Now, none of this happens.

    After a bit of troubleshooting, it seems that any theme I use is causing this problem.

    In the previous version of Firefox, I used the exact same plugins modules and the theme and never had this problem.

    I went thru and I tried to disable all the modules and plugins, and if I run in safe mode, I have the same result. None of the modules or plugins causes this. It seems to be a theme that I use that causes this.

    As I said in my original question, it happened with any theme, I used. Some changed the color, some are not.

    This can be locked, unless someone else has the same problem and wants to continue to use Firefox 15 or more.

    I went back to an earlier version. Unless they add the ability to change this absurd, useless, counterintuitive behavior, I don't "upgrade" any time soon.

  • Cannot select the text above or below the highlighted area in adobe reader DC

    He is an annoying problem that I face every day.

    When I highlight text on 2 consecutive lines (yellow), I won't be able to select or to do something with the area in the red zone. When I click on these areas in the red zone, it will select the highlights. Let's say, I want to emphasize the word "independently", this task will be much harder with this bug.

    However, the area in the green zone works without any problem.

    See my sample file here

  • Photoshop 2015: BUG? Layers panel auto-fait scroll to top when you select the text element with the text, creation/copy of layer tool and other actions

    This is a bug or a really bad and frustrating idea for a story.

    (1) in the layers panel, select a text layer, it highlights

    2) change to the text tool

    3) click on the text element in the workspace

    OR

    (1) select a layer in the layers panel

    (2) Ctrl-J, new layer by copying

    EXPECTED: Panel layers rest in the same position

    REAL: Panel layers scrolls the element selected or new layer to the top of the Panel. BORING.

    I do not need or want Photoshop to make decisions for me, space to work around to move without asking, or generally to spoil my flow!

    Please fix this or give me an option to turn it off as soon as POSSIBLE.
