Text box empty master

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to place an empty text block in a Master who let me write when not in master. I want to use a model that shows me, for example, 3 empty blocks of text where I have to watch the text. Text will be different from one page to another, but not the location of it and the specifications of the text (size, color, etc) thanks in advance.

Yes, but I don't particularly recommend it most of the time, although the three executives who are always positioned the same may be entitled to my exception list.  Use images masters to type directly to first be overridden manually the page of the document, and it is about as long as a new image aligned with some drawing guides put you it on the master page. I would only use frameworks masters if you must have the style of different paragraph assigned by default in each frame.

  • Text boxes in master/slave?

    I do some sticker sheets as stickers have15 per sheet. Each sticker on a single sheet is exactly the same.

    I'm looking for a way to type something in the first text box, and it automatically fills the other 14 boxes on the page. Whenever I edit the main box, the enslaved boxes will update the same changes. Is this possible?

    Create a master document, which is the size of a thumbnail. Who put in your sticker sheet file and use step and repeat to complete the worksheet.

  • Create a text box empty in an assessment

    So I have a problem, create a part of the assessment for the training of some software that I develop. What I have is a form that a user opens a program and then fill it depending on the task.

    What I want to happen in the assessment is for the user to view the form, select his machine (which I've got fine configuration) and click on the TITLE text box and type a title for the task.

    I want to leave to the user as the title (and the description text field that follows it), because they could create this shape for almost any number in the mill. So if my directions for the assessment are to create a form for someone check the lubricating oil levels, I don't want to have to do the user to type in something specific to progress to the next slide. I want to just be able to type in what they want to the title, because I want to use the form in the evaluation, just as they would use it in a real environment.

    I can't find a way so that it can move forward properly. Whe I save the assessment, I also access this part, click on the text field, write in some info and then click on the following text entry field. When I go into edit, if I leave the "correct entries' empty field, which should work? I tried, but whenever I hit then enter (shortcut key) he always tells me it is incorrect.

    Let me know what I'm missing here, or if you do not have quite a clear idea of what I am trying to accomplish. Thank you.

    In your properties for the text entry box (TEB), change 'Attempts' to 'Infinite' to '1', then select 'Continue' or maybe switch to the Moon or something else as the action to perform on the success. This should be simple.

    Turn "Reporting" out of this object, because it will always 'bad '.

  • How to clean the text boxes empty?

    Several times after that place text may be necessary to remove it (by selecting the entire kitchen) but in the pages will remain areas of text without text like skeletons. It is possible to clean them without deleting the pages? For example, you want to make radical changes related only to the text, but does not alter the images placed just to just title. Bring you new text after you have removed the old (like selecting), but the old empty boxes are there, forcing the user to remove, usually behind and almost hidden. Maybe it's a script Forum thread?

    If you simply want to remove empty blocks of text, try this:

    myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

    var myStories = myDocument.stories;

    for (var myCounter = 0; myCounter< mystories.length;="">

    var monarticle = myStories [myCounter];

    var myTextFrames = myStory.textContainers;

    var myNumberOfFrames = myTextFrames.length - 1;

    While (myTextFrames [myNumberOfFrames] .silence == false) {}

    myTextFrames [myNumberOfFrames] () .remove;

    -myNumberOfFrames;

    }

    }

    But I may have misunderstood what you want.

  • Copy empty text boxes so that when you fill in one of the other

    I use Acrobat Professional 8.  I size a text box empty, it is automatically labeled "Text1".  I can copy the empty box by holding the CTRL key and moving the box.  Now I have 2 boxes.  If I want to do 3 boxes, I repeat this action.  The only problem is the following: all say 'Text1' and if you fill out the first box, all the other boxes are populated with the same information.  Here's my question: How can I copy empty text boxes so that this doesn't happen. in other words, how can I copy the boxes as if I fill in the first box, all the other boxes remain empty until I go and fill them?  Please, I beg you.  Thank you.

    Somethings to try:

    Each of the replicated text boxes give a unique name (Text1, Text2, Text3, etc..)

    Or placer place Text1, and then in the context menu, select "Place multiple fields".

    This replica of the first, and provides a unique name for each.

    Place each field as you wish.

    Be well...

  • How to copy/paste the text box anchor to its anchor text and remove all checkpoints empty?

    Hi all

    I have a document of a few pages, but a story. The right column is the area of main text and on many places, anchored text boxes are placed which appears on the left column, as shown below.

    I want the text of each text box anchor to cut of his place and sticking to its point of insertion/anchor and remove all of the empty boxes of anchored.

    I'm trying since this morning but I was able to get the anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be useful.

    Marie rosine

    anchor_box.png

    OK, let's say you have a main text (not rooted) box and three text boxes that are anchored to the text it contains. One is anchored with text, the second is not anchored and the third argument is empty (I won't get into the anchor vs custom anchor line given that you mention in your message).

    Scroll us through the items on the page:

    function main(){
      var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
      var myPages = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
      for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++){
      {
        var myPage = myPages[i];
        //Checks that the page is valid, and that it is not a master page. If either is true, skips to the next page.
        if (myPage.isValid == false) continue;
        if (myPage.parent instanceof MasterSpread) continue;
        var myItems = myPage.allPageItems;
        for (var j = 0; j < myItems.length; j++){
          //Current item.
          var myItem = myItems[j];
          //If myItem doesn't have a Character parent, it is not anchored.
          //The first and third text frames would fail this test.
          if (!(myItem.parent instanceof Character)) continue;
          //We only care about text frames.
          if (!(myItem instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
          //I think the only way this would happen would be if you had an image or
          //something else unexpected within the frame. I check for it so no content
          //is inadvertently lost.
          else if (myItem.texts.length > 1) continue;
          //If we're still in this iteration of the loop, all qualifications are met.
          //Flatten the text frame.
          //I don't use layers that often so, to me, flatten makes sense. You may want
          //to use a different term if there's a chance for confusion.
          flattenItem(myItem);
         }
       }
    }
    
    function flattenItem(funcItem)
    {
         //Hold onto the anchor character.
        var myParent = funcItem.parent;
         //Duplicate the text from within the frame so that it appears right after the anchor.
         //There may be other methods, but this works for me. I try to avoid copy/paste
         //so as not to deal with any clipboard mishaps. I added a check in case of empties.
         if (funcItem.texts.length > 0){funcItem.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myParent.insertionPoints[0]);}
         //Replace the anchor character itself with a space (or whatever) which also
         //deletes the text frame it was anchoring.
        myParent.contents = " ";
    }
    

    I guess the takeaway is perhaps you aren't looking at the main text block and then check if anything it is anchored. You are watching each text block and find out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.

  • Master pages with text boxes

    Hey,.

    I would have thought it would be easy to find, but I can't seem to.

    I have a master page and you want to have an empty text box in the same place for a new page is created each time. When I do that on the master page, of course the text box is not on the newly created page, I must just be missing something?

    Do you use the master with the text block? What makes you think he isn't here?

    Text blocks master really designed to arise text, which replaces automatically. If you want to type or paste the text in there you need to override their first manually.

    Hold down the Shift-Ctrl/Cmd and click on the frame to substitute it.

  • Empty text box value when reading about the LV2012 development system but no Production

    Development platform: 32-bit Windows 7, LV2012 Professional Development System.

    Production of platforms: Windows XP.

    We have a test application, we have developed (in haste, I might add) who has a curious problem.  As part of the installation for each test, read us a text box with a serial number entry and record them in the log files.  Series enough.

    This works very well on production machines - no apparent problem.

    However, on the development computer, when I try to read the text box, all I get is an empty string.  I tried to read directly from the Terminal, as well as using a property value box.  Each time, there is nothing in the string.  This is even though I'm looking at the text box and there are visible data in it.

    Clear the text box repeatedly, I'm looking to see if any of those that occur at the wrong time.  And, indeed, I am looking a probe value of ' ' from the property node Value with the string "1234" visible in the text box while NONE of the compensation functions have been affected.

    The test application uses a pretty standard user interface event loop model, with an event loop manages the user input and the other event loop manages the business logic.

    Anyone have any idea what can cause this, or a better search string to find clues?

    Thank you

    Geoff

    As promised, I did go to the bottom of it.

    Simply enable "update of value while typing" gave me the result I expected.

    To explain: I had a key event down to the first text box that has been copied to this text box.  Whenever a key was hit in this text box, the value would be read and updated.  I did not have all the events for the new text box.  It has not been updated to what some other events.  At that time, it was apparently too late (most of the time on the development computer) and occasionally on the Production machine.

    Activation of the "Update value while typing" indicator means that the value field would properly up-to-date each time he has been seen/accessible.

  • Empty text box is not progressing

    I would really like to just reload the page.

    Because you are using only SHOW or HIDE error messages, you must create a user click on something else to run another tip Action to make the legend comments disappear and start another instance of the conditional action to do anything else.

    There is no event in Captivate, which allows you to perform an action based on the time that will happen AFTER x number of seconds.  The user must do something.

    Your only alternative is to place the feedback on separate slides and do your jump conditional Action the user on the slides, then have the Slide action leaving jump them to the original slide when its chronology runs.

  • Using a little code on Master Page to fill the page names in the text box?

    I was wondering if Muse has any codes that you might put in a box of text on the main Page so that all pages using this master to have their name filled in automatically on this page (e.g. a Page title - about us, Contact, etc.) instead of manually add a text box on each page in a particular space. The short code would make reference in the name of the page on the Site Plan and fill in this text on the page.

    I tried searching using different formulations, but have not found solutions to this particular problem.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    You can use getfunction to pull up the page title and display it on the page, if it is only on display name of current page on the body of the page, insert this code into html master page properties:

  • How to set up an editable text box that can be controlled by master pages

    I am designing a book. I created a master page to the first page of each chapter. I also need the text box content to be in a different size. So I tried including a blank text box in the master. That's when I met a problem - to place text, I have to manually replace the text box on the first page (Page of chapter) making a page element... the following pages have no problem however, as the son of text in the main text boxes. Now when I want to change the size or formatting of this text box, I can no longer use the master and have to manually apply to each chapter of this.

    Is there a better way to do it. I'm on a deadline, a quick response would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    -International

    After that you override the master element on the page, it retains aspects on the page of the document that you do not change. So, if you change the size or geometry of the image on the page of the document, change the master page will have no effect. If all you have to do is out of the text frame to fill it with the type, you can still control its size and position through the frame of the master page. If you do need to change size every time you release and add text, I am not aware so as to always be driven from the master page.

  • Can not unlock a Master Page text boxes

    Hello

    First think first: Adobe InDesign CC for MAC, OS X 10.9.1.

    I received a file from a client with a lot of master pages. Now, what intrigues me is that at point, the designer uses a master page (title on bottom - Y) to add text on the footer, which foot is then used on the rest of the master pages. Each master page contains three layers: text, Images, frames blue boxes.

    Screenshot 2014-01-08 21.48.15.png

    Then he created another master page (Z - Footers_Page #).

    Now, the delicate issue.

    There, initially, locked down titles that have been on the layer of text boxes. I unlock them.

    Screenshot 2014-01-08 21.49.55.png

    Then, I went on my page document to sselect this footer text and put a little smaller, but only on this page, not on every page of the document. Usually, this is done by clicking on the desired text block while pressing command + shift. It did not work.

    I checked the master pages and noticed that the page that I tried to change used the Z Master. So, I thought that the master might have locked up too substantive text. So I went to this basic form and I noticed that the text boxes containing footers is not locked but has not yet shown on any of these three layers.

    Screenshot 2014-01-08 21.50.19.png

    I tried the command + shift + click on the boxing of text containing the phrase ending by... Central Virginia, to make it editable. No question. They are not shown in the text layer boxes.

    The only text boxes, I can change are the page numbers.

    Screenshot 2014-01-08 21.50.43.png

    However, when I do the layer of invisible text boxes, all the footers disappear, including those I can't edit at all.

    Screenshot 2014-01-08 21.50.30.png

    I started, so I was wondering. What is going on? Commands like show all on the spread or unlock everything on spreads are gray. So, how do I change this line on a single page.

    There is a little professional manner, but I preffer to learn before doing the amateur work.

    Thank you.
