Text box Inset Guides

InDesign CS4 does ' t seem to show margin Text Box Locket as guides when the text box is selected only once with the selection tool (IE not dble click to change the text). The inset values can be discerned by opening the text frame Options dialog box, but in CS2, they would be visible as the guides (who helped with exact alignment) when the text box has been selected once. Note: when the text box is dragged to the new position they appear momentarily all in being dragged - not a lot of use! Any help much appreciated.

Dave Saunders posted some tips some return to about bringing old documents to new versions of ID and it is becoming clear that it is indeed good advice... export the document to INX first.

  • Text box inset spacing quickie problem

    I have my game space inset to 0 in the options of text block, but I still have space in the text box, as you can see by the red line in the picture below. Is it possible to completely eliminate the text to the left in a text box so that it lines perfectly against the box itself?

    Thank you.

    Actually, no. There are a few built-in spacer in each character, so they're not typing all cramped upward.

    Move the whole box as bit to the left? Use an optical alignment?

    Or manual mode: insert a trailing space to the left of the character; Then you can use kerning between this space and the character to move all the way to the left.

  • Expandable text box

    My client is interested in the following set up:

    1. a user clicks on a button and it brings up a text box hidden with information there.

    2. in the text box, there is another button that is able to extend the text box and displays additional information.

    3. when the user is finished, the click the button again and the text returns to the initial display.

    Can someone guide me on how to set up this situation. I am aware that JS should be, but I'm rather elementary in the JS area.

  • How to wrap an existing text box around an object?

    I installed the columns plugin for Photoshop CC 2014 and it does what I want it to do, however, every time I "columnise" my existing text box, which is wrapped up another image using paths to work (it comes to the video I looked to create the package), the plugin removes the work path connected as if it were a new fresh text box , I created, remove the packaging.

    I was wondering if there was a way to wrap text around an image/object, preferably after I put it in columns existing .

    Thank you.

    Ok. I installed the extension (I love the way that the extensions install using the Application Desktop Manager now) and it works well, but as you say, it does not account for the retention of the text shape/path and makes a new text box.  This text box is not based on a path, so you cannot modify it.  So low line here is Uber columns won't do what you want.  You could always email Anton ([email protected]) to get a definitive answer.

    But it's frankly hard to manually change your shape.  Well actually it's a little bit tedious, but not rocket science.

    1. Make your shape.  An easy way to do it would be to make as a selection, and then click Make route selection work icon at the bottom of the Trace Panel.  Drag the resulting path on the icon new way to save it.
    2. Now drag two guides to mark the gap between columns.
    3. Zoom way to the top of your path where guides cross it.
    4. Select your pen tool and place the cursor on the intersection of the road and one of the guides.  You will see a little + when you do this, add a point.
    5. Do the same thing to the other guide intersect, then add a third point between them.
    6. Press the delete key.  You now have a gap in the path.
    7. Down to the bottom of the track work and repeat.
    8. With the selected pen tool hover over one of the end point, and then click.  (You should see a little icon of string that indicates you are at the right place.)  I don't see that for some reason, but it still works.
    9. Now, hover over the end point above or below.  When you see the tiny icon (), close the path.
    10. Repeat for the other side.

    Not quite there yet.  You make the way to work in a form.

    • Go layer > new fill layer > solid color chose to any color. You disable this layer when finished.
    • Select the text tool and place the cursor within the form.  The pointer changes to a vertical bar with dotted circle. Click and paste the text.
    • You can store the text in Notepad or in a text box.  It does not matter.
    • It will not automatically be extended to the next column.  You will need to do it manually.

    Ahh... Just remembered.  When you close the original form in two distinct forms, the corners will likely swell.  Hold the Ctrl key to select the point angle, then Alt to drag the handle down, the low point.

    So there you have it.  Or just use InDesign, or even [spit] MS Publisher.

  • Invoke the bean of calendar (from Oracle) on the TIMING of the CLICK of MOUSE events in a text box

    Hello
    I want to get the date the user has selected in a calendar of bean (supplied by Oracle), currently my practice is to put a bean for each calendar and after date selection I am pushing this field required date, suppose I need calendar half dozen in my form I have to place the beans a half dozen, basically I don't want user of bean rather , I want him to click on the text box then CLICK event, it will display a calendar of the bean click and on the selection value will return to the text element.
    Please guide is it possible if yes how.

    Thank you and best regards,
    Syed Khawar

    now when the user clicks on bean, it appears calendar through trigger WCIE

    It's a way to view the calendar of Java, however, you can simply place a button on your canvas for each calendar you wish to view and then in the trigger Button-When-Pressed (WBP) to run code similar to the following:

    /* Code example assumes you have a CONTROL block with a */
    /* block Item called: CALENDAR_ITEM, which will act as a variable */
    /* to record which date item the Java Calendar was called for. */
    BEGIN
       :CONTROL.CALENDAR_ITEM := 'MY_BLOCK.DATE1';
       Set_Custom_Property('CALENDAR.BEAN_AREA',1,'SHOW_CALENDAR','50,50);
    END;
    

    This code displays the calendar and assign the value "DATE1" to your 'Variable' control block, so that you know what Date is your calendar was called for. Then, in your trigger when-Custom-point-Event (WCIE), you manage the date returned by your calendar of Java Bean and assign the value to the element of date in your CONTROL. Field of Calendar_Item.

    DECLARE
      v_event_name      VARCHAR2(30) := :SYSTEM.Custom_Item_Event;
      v_event_vals      ParamLIst;
      n_event_val_type  NUMBER;
      jb_date           VARCHAR2(256);  -- Complete Date as returned by the JavaBean
      d_formated_date   DATE;
      jb_day            VARCHAR2(256);  -- Day Number (1-31)
      jb_month          VARCHAR2(256);  -- Month Number (1-12)
      jb_year           VARCHAR2(256);  -- Year Number (YYYY)
    BEGIN
      IF ( v_event_name = 'CALENDAR_EVENT' AND :CONTROL.Calendar_Item IS NOT NULL ) THEN
        v_event_vals := Get_Parameter_list(:SYSTEM.Custom_Item_Event_Parameters);
        Get_Parameter_Attr(v_event_vals, 'CALENDAR_EVENT_DATE', n_event_val_type, jb_date);
        Get_Parameter_Attr(v_event_vals, 'CALENDAR_EVENT_DAY', n_event_val_type, jb_day);
        Get_Parameter_Attr(v_event_vals, 'CALENDAR_EVENT_MONTH', n_event_val_type, jb_month);
        Get_Parameter_Attr(v_event_vals, 'CALENDAR_EVENT_YEAR', n_event_val_type, jb_year);
    
        /* The variable JB_DATE contains the full date formated as MONTH DD, YYYY */
        /* Our date format is different, so I get the elements of the date in the */
        /* jb_day, jb_month, jb_year variables so I can format them the way I need them. */
        d_formated_date := TO_DATE(jb_month||'/'||mb_day||'/'||jb_year,'mm/dd/rrrr');
        COPY(d_formated_date, :CONTROL.Calendar_item);
      END IF;
    END;
    

    This code example will allow you to use a single area of bean to support several calendar items on a canvas. If you have more than one canvas and you have an element of date on each canvas, you would need a surface of bean / canvas.

    Hope this helps,

  • Why the text box is so weird?

    I'm trying to do something simple I have done a million times in Photoshop CS5 - create a text box with text inside. But something goes wrong and I can't quite understand it...

    Note that the text box is now much larger than the display text. I would like to make this text box as wide as guide aligned on the box 'Donate '.

  • White type in the text box with fill with transparency

    This page of color in my INDD document a lot of transparency on this - in the following stacking order:

    1. downstairs are two boxes gradients covering the entire page.

    2. next is a background photo that's an advantage to feathers.

    3. then comes my text box that floats over a part of the photo in the background. The text box is filled with a gradient purple feather. The text box contains 8.5 PT. White type (Helvetica Neue Medium).

    4. a transparent dingbat straddles a corner of the text box.

    Where the white guy is pictured in the background, a color is reflected type. I have not noted on the PDF, but of course, the work of back of the printer, you can see.

    I thought all type except automatically eliminated black?

    I pulled out the file using PDFX-3 (1.3) because my printing does service provider ' t supports the 1.4. I underdstand this version flattens transparency. I scanned "Print Production Guide for transparency" Adobe and learned that the areas of complex transparency can cause unexpected results. Is what happened here?

    When I opened the flattening of transparencies and he asked to highlight objects with 'Text of Raster-Fill and Stroke' or 'Text described', this type area is highlighted. No other boxes on this page type were noted, even where it overlaps the background photo (which has applied feather).

    Several other transparent dingbats (such as duplication of the text box) are also highlighted as 'Raster - Fill and Stroke text'. They are all on the highest layer (type).

    This isn't a disaster - it's still readable - but the details of the publication who are affected, which is important. Maybe next time I won't be as lucky. What would I do different?

    It is possible in the more recent versions of ID to the value of transparency to the object, STROKE, fill and levels of content, and I suspect that you have applied your effects to the object level. I was able to recreate what you see as well by using the gradient feather tool and in the effect controls panel and using the pen it y to the entire object. Oddly enough, once the gradient feather tool has been used I couln can't access options in the effect controls panel or in the menu object.

    In all cases, if you can, select the block of text, open the effect controls panel or object > Effects > menu feather degraded, remove the gradient feather and reapply just the filling.

    If you are not able to do so, copy the text, delete the block of text and create a new and paste back the text, and then select the image and apply the gradient feather to complete using the effect controls panel or the menu object.

  • Smart txt reflow - how do you work with several text boxes?

    Hello

    I create ID cards to work, for 650 employees. I had used the reflow of text before smart on other jobs and I don't foresee any problems with its use for this project. To explain my problem:

    I'm doing a template with a trial of ten employees file. The design on each card, it is a name and a unique ID to be used. The name is 18pt and code 10pt.

    On my main page, I have a block of text for the name and a text block for the employee ID. The text blocks are as wide as the work plan but only high enough to adapt to a single name by image to the relevant point size.

    On the first page of my document, I select 'place' and then select the text file with all the names, I get the change of cursor in the image of the text, I hold SHIFT for the debit option and click on my name text box. InDesign automatically creates 9 new pages, and I now have a 10 page document. So far, perfect.

    I select "place" again, choose the employee code text file, click on my block of text in code used on the first page, and repeat the same process as above.

    My problem starts - I want codes for the employee to just flow through ten pages, as the names, but when I place the codes file and select the text on the first page, inDesign creates 10 new pages after the tenth page. So I find myself with 20 pages - the first ten pages with names and nothing in the code text boxes and the last ten pages with the codes but nothing in the name text boxes.

    I am at a loss as to why he does this. I was playing with the settings in the preferences, but nothing changes. I tried to select both the two text files and import at the same time.

    How do you work with several text boxes and several import of text file on a doicument? There are no extra spaces or something like that in my text files.

    I really don't want to have to link all text blocks - that will forever, but right now it's the only way I can get it to do what I want.

    Also, is there anyway to specify the font and the size of the text is important as? Because it keeps import as minion pro, even if the text boxes on the master are set to the correct font and size. Not a big deal though.

    Help, please! Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Ah, I think I misunderstood your original post and thought you wanted to do 10 badges per page. If it's only one, you need only a set of images. Same procedure for setting in place, but you have no need to screw anything or use the step and repaet to make copies.

    Place the file name in the frames of name and ID will add pages and then return to the first page and place the numbers. Just don't forget to put the bad slider in the space where the framework and to stay away from the guides (if you click on a guide, ID will ignore masters executives) and hold down the SHIFT key when you click.

  • from new text boxes, text is not quite all the way to the top

    I work off someone elses ID CS4 files and there is a "Preset" I can not understand how to disable

    With the new text boxes, I'm starting, the text is slightly lower than at the top left as it normally would be.  Ive checked the vertical offset, which is set to 0, also verified the inset spacing which is 0 on all sides.  This could be the cause?

    Check the options of text block. Looks like the first baselin is leading instead of ascension (nothing bad at all), or there may be an applied custom baseline grid (or even a ducment baseline grid) and the first baselin is lower than expected and calls for the alignment on the grid style.

  • text won't move correctly when the text box is moved, how to fix?

    Working with someone elses files and it seems that he has a setting enabled in his ID CS4 that we cannot understand.

    It has a text box with text on a document.  When you move the text box upward or down with the arrow keys, the box moves, but the text does not.  When you move upward or downward far enough, the text seeks to realign itself back in the box.  The best description of it is as if there is an invisible box above and below with wrapping turned on... but I know its nothing like that.  What is the cause?

    Looks like line up on the starting grid...

    Bring up the grid with view-> grids and Guides-> display base grille.

    Change the grid settings in Edit-> preferences-> grids

    In a paragraph style, go to the withdrawal and spacing to change the settings for alignment grid

    If your text has no style paragraph assigned... uh... uh... I have no idea how turn it off
