Table goes out of alignment in the text box

I created a very simple table in InDesign CS5 on Windows 7, like this:

However, when you start typing in a cell, it goes like this:

To fix, you make the text bigger or smaller box and then resize it to what it is supposed to be. Also when I do a first page datamerge moves like that too, even if the rest is correct. When you export to PDF it comes out wrong as well. If anyone wants an example file that I can post it here.

Anyone have any ideas what's causing the alignment change when text is entered into the table?

Well, I think I see here the rub - if you left me speechless for a while there!

So, I see that you have the text box that contains your table to help you align your table in the center of your page. (i.e. the box containing the text is organized around the outside of the page and the table is centered lef/right using point centering and up/down by using the command "Center" in the control bar. There is nothing particularly wrong with this method, I think it may be the source of your problems with alignment change unexpectedly.

Looking at your file, I found that the removal of "Center" and change to the opposite to "align top" took the nervous behavior of the text box. It is more shifted when I tried to type. He however move the entire table to the top of the screen. For now we'll leave it there. Align the Page: Centre from left to right, Center t to b.

Your final result should be an element that is always perfectly centered on the page, but which can be of type in without any unpredictable jump around!

Now, we will select the entire area that contains the table. In the paragraph Panel, click "Left aligned". This will move the table to the top left of your document. Now, frame content. Go in the Align Panel.

  • The text color will appear washed out when written in the text boxes. Help?

    As you can see in the first picture, the color of my text becomes faded as it moves to the next text box. I got the color of real black text of the text on the left by copying and pasting my text at random (do not paste in a text box). It seems that when the text is placed in a text box (as seen in the 2nd and 3rd images), it automatically searches faded.

    What I'm doing wrong here?

  • Gray out or disable the text box

    Hello

    I have a drop-down list called CN_Entry_Initials with options of a "C" or a "N". I also called Part_Number to enter a part number in a text box. I want the text box part number be grayed out or disabled until a "C" or an "N" was chosen out of the CN_Entry_Initials of the menu drop down. I have this operation, except that I can't add it to almost anything. I think it's something to do with the way in which I have if statement for this disabled text box, or do I have to change the touch of a button "submit it". Does anyone know how to fix this? Below is the javascript and the drop down menu code menu and the text of the box as well as to add it or submit button. There are additional stuff in Javascript I have on the page, but I don't need to worry about those things because they do not work properly. I have the code text box disabled in the upper part of the javascript in the verify() function code. Thank you.

    Seems that the braces "{" Javascript function are incorrect, the audit function performs only the feature of toggling the Part_Number text box which is the reason why the alert function worked when you added it in here.

    What you can do is to create a separate function which just active / disable the Part_Number text box and add it to the onchange event of the area of selection.

  • Table of contents - power of the text box

    Hello

    I recently started using Adobe InDesign and love it! I have a question around the table of contents. At the beginning of each chapter, we have a simple page with a box in it. (each chapter has about 10 pages). The intention is to have the content of the text become the title of the chapter box and have it displayed in the Table of content. The text box itself has several characters of new line in. When I generate the table of contents, InDesign creates several entries in the Table of contents (one per each new line in the text box). So my question is... Is there a way to specify that the content of the entire text box appears as an entry in the Table of contents. (I'd like to update the table of contents by hand to avoid any errors).

    I appreciate any help in this matter.

    Thank you!!

    So, you say that, break forced line and you want that all the rows in the table of contents? I think that I misunderstood.

    If this is the case you're going to the trouble of formatting of the table of contents, as the forced line break will carry you through to the table of contents (you can change the colours using styles or nested GREP and those will not set if you use a different style in the table of contents list itself).

  • When I print a table (multiple pages) the text box under the table seems to be moving under the table and prints with the table of this overlap. My only solution is to push the text box further down the page before printing... Any advice?

    Im having problems shaped a text box so that my table does not print right on top of it. I want it inside of my table (it's 'tems and conditions' budget)

    Any advice would be great.

    I face the same problem as well. Would like to know if there is a better way to get the text box to move with the table instead of the effect that overlap. Have to manually adjust the layout, whenever I want to get a reasonable print of a document (or export it to PDF) seems counterintuitive, especially when it causes the document seem ill-disposed on screen.

    I am running version 3.6.2 of the numbers in the case where that matters.

  • Is there a reason why certain numbers automatically generated do not align with the text?

    I'm building a small book in InDesign and generated chapter numbers only display correctly aligned with the text of the chapter into two chapters. In others, they are slightly lower than the base line and print that way. They all use the same format title and list paragraph. (I even checked the Master Pages for objects that drag may interfere and see nothing.) Someone has seen this and can point me to a solution?  The original document was from the Pages converted to MS Word, so I tried to see if there are some strange characters which came with the conversion, but as you can see on the screenshot below, nothing shows up. Any help to identify the problem or a cure would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is a chapter that is displayed not correctly, and it is the base character Format options.

  • Alignment of the text (like MS Word) field

    I'm trying to settle my field of text manually since acrobat only offers me 3 choices for alignment 'LEFT', 'RIGHT' and 'CENTER '.  Is there a 'JUSTIFY' property because my text field will be used for the writing of long texts as I would with writing such as MS Word software?

    Also, each line of this text box is numbered (on the bottom) and it is crazy hard to get align these numbers with each line.  My second question is, so once you check the box "multiline", is it possible to set the number of lines (or height) in the field, so he would perform a kind of "vertical justification" and therefore automatically invariable to line numbers?  Suppose I need to change the number of lines from 40 to 47, I would change just the code instead of having to mess with the font size and type as well as having to redraw the background each time so that it can match.

    I think it might be something that uses the height property of the textbox control.

    Finally, when the user reaches the end of the text box, typing continues under the bottom of the box without warning him that he cannot be looking at the screen when writing.  So if I can set a maximum number of lines, it could be collapsed, I could put an app.alert or better yet, setFocus to the next page, so it would be continuous typing without noticing.

    I am aware that an acroform is not writing software, but there must be a way to do it better.

    The type of control you are looking for is not really accessible to the general public with the fields created with Acrobat. If you allow rich text formatting, the user has the option to set a full justification and has some control over spacing. Jump to the next field when the first is full cannot really be done transparently.

    A lot of what you want to do is no longer possible with an XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. The justification and the attack can be preconfigured and you can configure the dynamic fields that auto-élargir according to the needs.

  • Why my links do not work in the text box next to the e-mail in Outlook?

    I created an email template in Eloqua, which is a two-column layout. The text box on the left has links that work very well. The text box on the right has links that do not work. This only occurs in Outlook. If I find the email in an another e-mail client, all right. What could be wrong causing the links is not working?

    If another person has ever run into this and found a solution, please let me know. I'm pulling my hair out!

    I called support this morning and all I had to do was move the text box on the right side to the top of a few pixels and now everything works fine. I guess when the two tables are the same height, Outlook rides them and cannot process the links properly. I like it when it's an easy solution!
