Shortcuts to place the text in square brackets
Is there a script to place the bracketed text in Indesign? I have a lot of text where some words should be placed in brackets and would like to just highlight the word and use a shortcut to put in brackets.
You can also consider this. It will avoid having to carefully select the text and simply place the brackets after the last word of the selection (or even just a text cursor blinking) and before the first word:
s = app.selection [0];
s.Words [-1] .insertionPoints [-1] = .silence '] ";
s.Words [0] .insertionPoints [0] = .silence '['; '.

Whenever I try to create a text box indesign automatically for me and place the text in the middle. I can get the text moves if I play with the object ' menu ' detected block options, but it does every time. "
Hello, welcome to the forum of InDesign. I'm a different Steve.
What version of InDesign are you using? What operating system do you use?
Tell us exactly how you create your text box (frame).
The easiest way is to choose the tool of Type (T). Click and drag an image where you want to go.
But, if you place the text to another program like Microsoft Word, click file > Place. Select the file and click Open. Drag-and-drop placement of text cursor to position it on the page.

Place the text fonts google on graph
I start a new web project - but my computer with my DW just died! While I wait to be corrected, I wanted to know if this idea I had work. The site will have a graphic of a paper towel, maybe tilted a bit with css. On this towel, I want to add text. I don't want to hard code the text in a graph but rather use fonts web google to place on top. I thought I could place the towel in a div and put it where I want on the page, no problem. Can I also place the text with a font web google in a separate div and place it on top? I can tilt as the towel with css3, that I have not tried this before and since my computer can not experiement is therefore hoping that you guys can guide me so when I get home I can jump in full.
Thank you!

grep for format of the numbers in square brackets]
Hello, I have quotes in the text that appear in the ground [1] or [1-3] or [1, 3-5, 4: 7-10]. I want to use the blue color for the numbers in the model but all (, or-) else remains black. I use this grep ((?<=[\[]))([[:digit:]]+(,\s|-)) * [[: digit:]] + qui me donne une couleur bleue pour chaque chose.) How can I just blue numbers?
Thank you.
Why?
It does not matter.
It would be easy with Grep find & replace. But it is very difficult to do with Grep styles (without seeing the entire document). In this case, I can only give you the Grep styles:
It is perhaps useful to you.

Place the text cursor in the PlayBar
Hello
I'm changing the text to hover over the PlayBar buttons. I am using Captivate 7 and I tried to play with the location via Flash options, but given the intructions for Captivate 4 I had no chance. Any suggestions?
Thank you
You will need to open a playback bar in Flash and save it under a new name if you wish. ToolTips are in the MovieClip location. They are in a table:
var pbcBtnTips_ENU:Array = new Array ("Rewind",
"Back."
"Play."
"Pause."
"Forward."
"Captioning."
"Audio on"
"Sound Off,"
"Exit."
'' Information. ''
"dummy for scratch bar."
"Table of contents"
"2 x fast forward speed.
"4 x fast forward speed.
"Normal speed."
'Print');
Change text in ToolTips and export the movie to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate x64\en_US\Gallery\Playbars\AS3 7. Make sure you that points the editor of skin in the file you just created.

Place the text cursor to change images
I'm working in Dreamweaver 8 and I am creating the following concept. I have a list on the left and the picture to the right, what I try to do when you hover over each topic in the list the image on the left will change when you move the text. So I have five subjects and five images. I tried unsuccessfully to behaviors. Is there anyone out there who can tell me how to accomplish this concept in Dreamweaver 8 Please?
VickyOkay... but if your goal is to get a glimpse of contexts, for example in a portfolio of photography, it can be very beneficial. Use with caution and in a targeted way, I agree. Round-off of the first page should be used with care. Is there a need of the user, or is it for ourselves? Always build for the end user, never yourself.

GREP style allows text in square brackets
I'm just starting to understand some ways that I can use GREP in the messy confusion of the documents that I have to work here, so patient with me...
We have a load of technical writers here who do not necessarily have a lot of experience InDesign, but be used to enter text. A text must be "BOLD" to attract the attention of the end user, so I thought I could use GREPs for apply a bold style to certain words and phrases that occur in any of the documents. Such a forum is intended for users to renew the clips or bolts or similar, so I did what I think is a GREP which finds 'renew' and applies to every word between it and a return or a period (but exclude the word "renewed", because the other permutations that follows):
renew (?.) Ed.*?). +(\.| \r)
That works very well in most places. But I fell on cases where there is an image reference in parentheses after the occurrences of 'renew' in places (such as "you must renew the clips (see figure 6)'") and I would like to exclude the media and their content of style. But as a beginner, I had a little if bogged down hit brick walls trying to find ways to do it. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Thanks for any help.
Doug, you use GREP (to find and replace) or GREP Styles? (by your description of what it does)
If GREP Styles:
1 no need to use (\. | \r) at the end GREP Styles automatically stop at the end of each paragraph.
2. no need to use (?) Ed.*?) a simple (?.) ED) is enough here, as long as this corresponds to what didn't really matter if / what follows.
Try it shorter:
renew (?.) ED) [^ ()] +
-This text makes bold to 'renew' and the end of the paragraph * or * up to the first parenthesis.

Keyboard shortcut to move the text in a new column in InDesign?
I can do back para, through return but does not move copy of the new column. It ' a makes me the pot. Don't want full of returns text boxes, what I have to do 3 text boxes for 3 columns, instead of using a shortcut in a box?
The numeric keypad enter key inserts a column/frame break. If you don't have a num pad enter key, choose Edition > keyboard shortcuts > Menu Type > insert break character: column break and assign a key combination...

I take a course in web design and I find nothing in the manuals on how to add hover text. The instructions I have are: title input form element attribute which tells the user to provide the required information. "Enter your name" should be displayed when the user hovers over the element to username.
Here is my code:
< body >
< div id = "nav" > < a href = "index.html" target = "_top" title = "Home" > home < /a > | " < a href = "AboutUs.html" target = "_top" title = "about us" > us < /a > | " < a href = "ContactUs.html' target ="_top"title ="Contact us"> contact us < /a > |" < / div >
< do action = ' # ' method = 'get' id = 'frmErrFeedback' > < fieldset > < legend > < em > report Errata < /em > < / legend > < / fieldset >
< p > what's your name?
< input name = "text" type = 'text' id = usrName title = / >
< label for = "usrName =" / >
< /p >
column name < p >?
< input name = "text" type = "text" id = colName / >
< label for = "colName =" / >
< /p >
< p > what was the error?
< name textarea = "errFeedback" cols = "32" rows = "4" id = errFeedback > < / textarea >
< input name = "submit" type = "submit" id = "sbmitErrFeedback" value = "Send" / >
< label for = "= sbmtErrFeedback" / >
< /p >
< / make >
< / body >
< / html >
I use Dreamweaver CS6 and only know what I've learned in the 5 weeks of class.
For ease of use, you must use placeholders in form. Events of MouseOver (hover) do nothing on devices with touch screen. A placeholder informs the user exactly what is needed in this area
placeholder = "First & last" >
