Slow down gradually by typing in the text block

I read all the other threads regarding typing slow in InDesign, but I had not anything the problem that I am facing. My problem is that typing becomes gradually slow when you type in certain blocks of text, that is, it is fast when I start typing in the empty block, but as the text block is filled with the text, it becomes slow.

I use two types of blocks of text on each page of my document: one with no style whatsoever and the other with a style of object including a border, two rounded corners and margins. This gradually typing slow occurs only in the second type of text block.

I hit a relatively small (7 MB, less than 300 pages), file text without columns, cross-references, paste them from other applications, connecting blocks of text, or any of the other usual culprits for slow typing I've read about. Nothing else in InDesign is slow, including typing in the other type of text block (without borders, etc.).

Any ideas?

Its most likely the rounded corners that is causing the slow down.  Not sure how RADIUS helps you, but having to calculate how to keep the text with rounded corners is much more expensive than when the text block is a simple box.  A suggestion to help alleviate the problem is to break the document by chapter upward, so that you do not have the end of a chapter that connects the beginning of the next.  When you have a large number of pages of text all flow from one page to another, editing text in a page means that all of the following must be recalculated.  Break this cascade of changes from one page to the other will help with performance.  A disadvantage is that you need to be careful and watch the overset text or blank pages that passes at the end of each chapter.

  • Apply effects to the text block and not the text

    I am trying to apply a shadow to a text block, but he keeps applied the effect of text rather than the text block.  I click on the text block, and then effects and shadow and object is selected in the 'Settings For' drop-down box.  However, he maintained the application of the shadow to the text, rather than to the text block.   I am doing this wrong, or is there something else I need to 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!

  • How to get the text block, given anchor (~ a)

    I need to dynamically position anchored with anchor text blocks (but the relative position will be different for each anchor). If I grep ~ i can get the anchor marker - how to get the text block once I got this marker?

    Thank you

    The marker "anchor" is a character of "simple".

    So you can do the following if you have identified the character (and in this example selected it):

    //Start with an "Anchor Marker" selected:
    var myCharacter = app.selection[0];
    
    if (myCharacter.texts[0].textFrames.length == 1){
    
    var myAnchoredTextFrame = myCharacter.texts[0].textFrames[0];
        //do something with the anchored text frame:
        myAnchoredTextFrame.fillColor = "Yellow";
    
        };
    

    You can set the myCharacter variable differently, if you know the index of the character according to his history of parent.

    Or if you have found the character as part of a search GREP or TEXT by ExtendScript (JavaScript).

  • Text on the stroke to the text block

    I was wondering if there is no way to force the text in a text block to be at the top of the race that I added to the text box. The descenders are cut and I have messed around with various options of baseline for the text block, but can't seem to find a way to make it work without making the largest text block which I prefer not to do.

    I saw a few solutions, but they all seem to be for earlier versions by using the settings that I can't find in the CC options.

    Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

  • Table header row gets cut off from view when the text block is resized

    I'm designing a table that has a header row, 6 body rows and 5 columns. I want the header skewed to 20º and rotation type of needles from the same angle. Knows someone who worked with tables, it is not possible to rotate the text to this value via the parameters of the cell, but the job is to split the table into two blocks of text. The lower sash will be the body lines, but the Executive must have the header where it gets skewed to the specified angle. The text must be created in separate and then cut and paste frames in each column header and then it can be rotated.

    The problem I have is when I try to drag the bottom of the text block to the top while the header remains visible, the header gets cropped view. The only way to prevent it from is Cup is I leave the first line in the frame, but then it gets skewed is not what I want. It seems that the block of text ignores the header still exists. The screenshot below has two tables. The top version is the one that I want to apply the effect to. The bottom has the effect, but his top line is a line of body (not a header).

    I don't think that it is possible to have a heading row without at least a body line in the framework...

  • Text wrapping moves the text block

    Hello world. I have a block of text on my page and a picture frame sitting in the upper left corner of the text block. I want my text to wrap around the picture frame, so I have the text wraps not lit. However, skin moves the entire text block to the right instead of just the text inside the frame. Is it possible to avoid this? InDesign CS for Windows 6. Thank you very much.

    -Rick

    Nevermind, I figured it. The text block was at anchor, and that's why the frame is moved to the right. I'm sorry for the noise of the useless list.

  • Type of entry in the text block

    Hello

    Is it possible to define a text frame on a master page and be able to enter text in the image in the document itself, without separate the text block and his master?

    This is for CS4.

    Thank you.

    It depends on the nature of your question. You must override the image on the document page (Shift click command) to add content, but anything that does not change on the page of the document is still linked to the main frame (such as size, position, fill, stroke, etc.). Is that what you mean?

  • position of the image/text in the text block

    Hello

    I use textframe to place images and text.

    WHN I put the text / images, by default, the images are aligned at the top of the text block, I need to put it at the bottom of the textframe.

    is there a possible adjustment of the document actuive / app so that by default the content should be aligned to the bottom

    Thank you.

    Search in the object that defines the vertical positioning: textFramePreferencesand you will see there at the time of the Document and the Application as possible parents.

    app.activeDocument.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN;
    

    define the default for new text frames downwards. You can also use

    app.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN;
    

    to set it as a global preference for all your new documents, but anyway this sounds like a bad idea.

  • Text wrapping will not be in the text block

    I am changing the content on a block of text in Illustrator using a JavaScript file.

    My method is as follows:

    changeLayer = doc.layers.getByName(textKeys[t]);

    changeLayer.textFrames.getByName(textKeys[t]).wrapInside = true;

    changeLayer.textFrames.getByName(textKeys[t]).contents = textArray [textKeys [t]];

    Basically, I set wrapInside to true and then I replace the content of the block of text with a string.

    However, rather than the text as you wish, Illustrator print everything on one line expands the size of the text block (and sleep) to adapt the text on a single line. Even when I put explicitly the width and height of the image in the script, it shrinks the text to fit on a single line in the rather enveloping framework. If I explicitly set the size of the police he then extends the framework once again, but only on a single line. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Good evening

    Don't forget that you have different types of linked text frames. In vba, you can find the property THAT allow you to show that read only 3 types of text frames aiAtraText, aiPathText and aiPointText

  • Print everything that is typed in the text field without printing the text fields

    Hello

    I am trying to print a form once filled the text fields I want to print just what I typed in the field, not the text field and the color in the text field. I use CS3.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello Teddy and wellcome to the Group!

    If you want to change the fonts or other things, then you will need to use the PrePrint method. What I usually do is select PrePrint in the 'Show' section in the Script Editor (if you did not go to the toolbar at the top, Windows and select Script Editor). After selecting PrePrint you can now either type the name of the subform and the field you want to change (or you can place the cursor in the script dialog box, hold down the CTRL key and select the field with the mouse) and enter in the JS to change font. It's something like TextField1.fillcolor = "255, 255, 255; (which changes the background in white fill). You can also replace fillcolor fonts or border to change the color of the police or the border. I put a link to an Adobe website that goes over the color JS below changes. You just need to add a method of pre-press for each field that you want to remove the necessary on highlighting. Then once the user hits a button print that you have on the form or use CTRL + P to print the form, it will remove any highlighting.

    Now on the text field does not itself feel that I do not know what you ask for. You ask for the legend does not print or not there is a box around the data entered. If you don't want to have a box surround the text field located in the section purpose of the field (see image below). You just need to select none, if you want to just text. If you want to change that with JS, I put another link below that has the code to change the color of the border in white and the user can't see it. If you do not want to print the legend, the only method is to remove the legend from the text box and replace it with a static text that can be hidden, but I guess that it isn't what you're talking about (correct me if I'm wrong however).

  • Firefox slows down to a crawl while the sync of bookmarks

    Whenever I add, modify, move, or delete a bookmark, Firefox slows down to a crawl for a few seconds, whereas Sync does its thing. I know that Sync is the question because I added the sync icon to the toolbar and see it light up and spin and Firefox is unusable whenever I have change a bookmark. This is probably because I have a ridiculous number of bookmarks: probably in the range of 10-20 000.

    Despite these problems, Sync did a good job of synchronizing bookmarks between my computer and makes it easier for me to finish my work, so I would like to continue using it. My bookmarks file acts as a search engine mini for the things that I found useful/interesting. deletion of bookmarks or using a very stripped down bookmarks file really does not solve my problem here.

    I already googled until exhaustion, and set services.sync.autoconnect to false in: config, but that didn't seem to do anything. This solution might work but is not very handy: http://superuser.com/a/818726/362951

    Is it possible I can turn off Auto-Sync synchronization after each change bookmark? I'd like to be able to synchronize ONLY when I click the 'Sync' button in my toolbar in FF.

    Sync chooses when synchronize based on a combination of the last hour of synchronization and the amount of change that has occurred. You can actually turn off the synchronization (except you can still manually synchronize) by changing these values.

    1. go into "subject: config.

    2. Enter "services.sync.syncInterval" in the search box. It's the amount of time (in 1/1000 of a second) that synchronize waits between synchronizations. If you want to sync never synchronize after a while, change for something big like '999999999999999999999999 '.

    3. Enter "services.sync.syncThreshold" in the search box. It is the amount of change that must take place between synchronizations. 300 represents a bookmark and is also the default, so by default, sync will sync whenever you add a bookmark. If you want to synchronize only after 2 bookmarks, change it to 600, etc.. If you want to never synchronize, also change it for a very large number.

    Note: there is always a possibility sync may synchronize automatically some time, but it is extremely rare.

  • Computer slows down with 15 minutes of the session opening.

    Original title: very slow computer.

    My Vista OS slows down to about 15 minutes of logging. If I clean the registry, etc. I see a lot of files, namely .mdmp, .log, .wxi, .wer and .evm files.
