Strange? Toolbar for text frame columns not present?

With the help of Adobe InDesign CS. While in training, I saw a field in the uppper toolbar enabled to add a number of columns in a frame if the user indicates a number in this field.

When I select the text box, there is no such a toolbar at the top screen to divide the multiple-column text box so it seems that my version does not seem to have that. I wonder if it is a feature that I need to download a plug-in or if I need to find in the system I already have.

That's definitely the problem.

  • Extending column on does not because text frame columns go 2-1 repeatedly to the same file.  the fix?

    The problem: I want to have a title of subchapter on two columns of text on a page.  In two different places in the file, subchapter headings cover 1 single column of text.

    Details: The usual and desired text formatting setting is for two columns on a page.

    I have an ID cs6 file which, in two places, has a block of text change of 2 columns to 1.  Two columns of text are present on the page throughout the whole layout, so the file seems to be the formatting that I intend, but there's a glitch.

    When the section headers cover two columns, text frame options tell me I have 2 columns, just as he seems to have.  When the section headers will not cover the two columns, text frame options tell me that I have only 1 column. (but has two columns on each page.) Apparently two individual images side by side instead of an image divided into two columns.)

    The 2 columns in a 1 + 1 frame frame frame is changed across a page break.  I have two places where it appears. We're close to the front of the queue, and then the layout comes again 1 text block to 2 columns.  The last 5 pages are 1 + 1 framework framework side by side.

    If I try to define two columns where the formatting of the text frame tells me there is 1, it divides the column 3.5 inches in two columns (which would then give me 4 columns on the same page, by dividing the four columns that you want 2 columns int.)

    I tried to copy the text of the last 5 affected pages, deleting pages and paste formatted text, or even formatted.  No improvement.

    What should I do to tell the program that two blocks of text side by side or 2 columns in an image.

    One more detail: I have a paragraph style that holds the Chronicle spanning selected choice.  It should work if the style of the text with the paragraph style.  This is where the text block options see 2 columns, but now if she sees a.

    I entered the text at different times. I loaded it curson and use shift - click of the mouse to make the text paste and continue to add pages as needed.  Instructions in a few books that I give slightly different key combinations to do this in Windows.  Method to insert text that it would be the problem here?

  • CS6 InDesign text frames are not updated

  • Setting CSS class for text-related column

    Good day to you all:

    It is relatively easy adjust the font size for a column of the report in the APEX by placing "font-size: small" under "Formatting of column" in the field "CSS Style".

    However, I always run into the same problem trying to place a 'Style' on a column that is related.  It seems that if the text of the bound column overrides any Style of CSS, I attribute to this column.

    Any suggestions?

  • Master page text frame does not appear on the pages of the child of the master

    Why a block of text on my A-master (indicated under control) does not control the size of the blocks of text on the pages of the children of this master? Is a likely answer that I placed the text on the pages of the child until I entered the text block on the A-master. But even at this stage, when I create a new A-master, there is no block of text at all, in order to recreate and redo the problematic child pages appear not to be a solution. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    When you click on the Plus sign next to a master page to create another master page, it does not inherit the master page objects. It simply creates an empty template. If you want the new master page to inherit the objects, then right-click on the desired master page and choose 'duplicate page.

    As child pages are concerned, Yes, they should inherit all objects and properties of the master page. It's really weird if his past is not for you. What happens when you right click on the page child and apply desired master for this menu?

  • Frames anchored for images will remain not as place

    Hello

    I am just placing of reinforcement anchored for images in my documents using the pod of roame anchoreed. However, executives will not remain as after I have save and close the document and open it again. I used the slot option current after selecting line sink it in the paragraph. Seems odd, but the way I want it to work. Any ideas on how to improve this? I want executives to pierce the width of the block of text document and place the nearest inside of the link image.

    I use fm 9.

    Thank youClipboard01.jpg

    Pieter,

    The anchored frame is not behind the text. It's cropped, which I believe is the default when creating an anchored frame or a chart is important.

    In the properties of the anchored frame, clear (clear) Cropped and change the alignment to the left or right, instead of Center. You can also clear the floating box. These selections should still be there once you save and open the document.

    Maybe you were using another way (I don't know what) to change the position of the frame anchored without also clearing these check boxes. But that's just a guess. Try the above and see if it works.

  • Refrencing objects that are not present on frame 1 of the movieclip

    Hello world!

    I work with a movieclip right now that has two frames in it.  I want the user to be able to go back and forth between pages by clicking on the tabs on each page.  They click on the button is present on the frame that it applies (so, the button to switch to the frame 2 is present on frame 1 and vice versa).

    I want to control when they are able to click back and be able to turn the buttons on and off whenever I need to, but given that the button to return to frame 1 is only on frame 2, when I reference the button fits as a null object from the main timeline.  How can I refrence an object that is not present on the first frame of a clip?

    Here's the gist of what I have.  The main timeline has an object called "mAccess" which has 2 frames, windows and on reports.  Upstairs, there are two tabs, one for Windows, one for reports.  The Windows tab is not clickable when on the frame (frame 2) reports and the reports tab is not clickable when on the chassis of windows (part 1)

    Main timeline:

    mAccess.bReports.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoreportstab);

    function gotoreportstab(event:MouseEvent) {}

    mAccess.gotoAndStop (2);

    }

    mAccess.bWindows.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, gotowindowstab);           <-it gives me the error on the null object reference

    function gotowindowstab(event:MouseEvent) {since Windows does not exist on frame 1 of the mAccess.

    mAccess.gotoAndStop (1);

    }

    Thanks for you help with anything that can give me!

    the background is that you can not refer to an object that does not exist (yet).  the best workaround is to ensure that your object exists on the frames where you reference it.  the object does not need to be visible so it's not much extra work.  You can add and remove the object from the displaylist, as you see fit or activate and deactivate its visible property.

  • NI LabVIEW driver for the SRS DS345 function generator generates error "(Hex 0xBFFF0011) insufficient location information or the device or resource is not present in the system."

    Hello

    We have a generator function SRS DS345.

    I just downloaded the driver NOR for the instrument on http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9149659CE034080020E748....

    The only change I did Exchange address GPIB 14 to 19, which is our function generator GPIB address. In addition, the

    Functions of SRS DS345 generator of function palette is empty, even after you restart LabVIEW (see attachment). I'm using LabVIEW 8.5.1.

    Your help in resolving this issue is appreciated. Thank you.

    The first is easier, and you don't have to restart LV more...

    Those who might be ghosts then right click on them and UNINSTALL - devices and then RESTART.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    If they show upward then try to manually install the drivers.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
    to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    Hello Matthew w. I. Dunn, welcome.

    I recommend trying a system restore to see if that solves the problem. Try this:
    1. click on START
    2. click on "all programs".
    3. click on "Accessories".
    4. click on "system tools."
    5. click on "system restore."
    6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.
