Text in the text block moves

I hope someone can help me with this-

When I move my block of text around the page, the text it contains moves around the frame.  When I select and drag the box, the text inside flashes on and outside.

It started just suddenly happening when I created new blocks of text.  Existing text frames in the document don't do that.  I tried to compare the text of the new block and existing options and nothing seems to be different.

Help, please!

It sounds as if your new blocks of text are set to "Align the base grille" - take a look in the lower right of the paragraph Panel when you have a text problems selected frames. It is possible that you inadvertently click the button "Align" with nothing selected, making it as well as the default for new text frames.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Eratic behavior: book, the main text blocks and Cross References

    I'm on InDesign 2014.2. Mac.

    I'm working on a fairly large book. About 14 chapters / sections, about 400 total pages. There are also hundreds of cross references, almost all of them to anchor references.

    The design of the book is as simple as possible. There is no graphics, text blocks only.

    I use a single master page, with facing pages, and a block of text type. I used it throughout the production of the book, and the primary text flow worked well, chapter after chapter. Pages have been created automatically, and automatically flowed text.

    Maybe I need to change the page size of the book, and I also have a lot of editing to do which will reduce a lot of the chapters. I wanted to make sure all pages use the main text flow to do that, go as gently as possible.

    To my dismay, I discovered that although I used systematically throughout the book master text streams, all but three of my chapters have inexplicably lost their text stream. All images in these chapters have converted into ordinary images. That I edit the book, it's playing havoc with paging and referrals.

    I tried to restore the flow of text in one of the first chapters. It's easy to do, in theory.

    • Move the first page off to the side frame
    • Delete all pages except the first page
    • Command-shift-click on the first page to restore the flow of the main text
    • Copy and paste the contents of the old frame into the primary stream restored.


    When I do, the pages to move properly, and I'm back to having a chapter with a block of primary text on each page. Unfortunately, this breaks all cross-references that refer to this newly reorganized chapter and all references to the front in this chapter.


    I tried to do all that I could imagine. Only remove the frames and not pages. Try without the busy book. Nothing works. I tried the command update cross-references in the book menu. Has nothing.


    It seems impossible to redistribute the text in a new primary master framework, without completely breaking the cross references.

    I finally found something that seems to work:

    • Create a new master page at the end of the document.
    • Go to the last page of the history of the chapter and the last history image a link to the text block type on the page that you just created.
    • In the pages palette, delete all pages in the document, with the exception of the master page that you created.

    All text will be redistributed within the frameworks of masters, and cross-references (to and from the frame) seem to be intact.

  • Resize the text without scale text block

    Hi people,

    Is it possible to resize a text frame without scaling the text in the 2014 AI CC SDK?

    I'm working on an AI CC 2014 plug-in and need to resize a text frame without scaling of the text. However, I'm not having a bit of luck to find how to do this. Is what I want to resize the text block in the Type area Options Panel makes, but I'm not able to understand how what classes/methods it uses, or whether they are still exposed in the SDK of.

    I tried to use sAITransformArt->TransformArt(), but I can't find a way to stop the text to scale with the text block. I considered, after processing, reformat the text which has been nationally, but that doesn't seem right.

    My current thinking is to move the text of the framework which should be scaling in a new block of text size correctly, and then delete the existing framework, but before that, I thought I would ask here see if do I it's harder it must be because I'm missing something.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    See you soon!

    -Jim Birkenseer

    You must use sAITransform-> (TransformArt) on the subject of track of the image of the text, not the entire text block.

    For example:

    AITextFrameType textFrameType;
    sAITextFrame->GetType( art, &textFrameType );
    if ( ( textFrameType == kInPathTextType ) || ( textFrameType == kOnPathTextType ) ) {
        sAITextFrame->GetPathObject( art, &art );
        AIRealMatrix sMatrix;
         // Set your matrix as needed here...
        sAITransformArt->TransformArt( art, &sMatrix, 1.0f, kTransformObjects );
    }

    If you select a textframe, you already have a textframe. So, if you choose app.selection [0] .textFrames [0], this means an anchored within a textframe textframe.

    And: You try to create your textframe on page 1. But you must add the new textframe on the page following the page of your choice.

    So, try this one:

    var curDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var frame1 = app.selection[0];
    var parPage = frame1.parentPage.documentOffset;
    var frame2 = curDoc.pages[parPage+1].textFrames.add({geometricBounds: [50, 50, 100,100]});
    frame2.previousTextFrame = frame1;
    
  • Rotate the text with the character within the text block style

  • Tutorial of the postcard - can't get the new text block started

    It is a very basic question. I do the tutorial of postcard. I'm unable to get a second text block began on the front of the postcard to the time of the event. I take the text tool and drag it, but it does not create a new text frame. He thinks I want to type the information in the context of existing text.

    I hit escape repeatedly to try and out the first block of text, clicking on the tool text several times, tried shift and click, put the date in a Microsoft Word's doc information and then tried to 'Place' - all to nothing done. How can I get the file to understand that I am creating a second block of text?  How to get out the original text block?

    This seems to be a problem for me, I can't "uncheck" any tool path - by clicking on another tool or hit escape. It does not work. I close the file, then open it new in order to use a new tool. Very frustrating and time-consuming. I work under Windows, if that helps.

    Thank you.

    Try to zoom a little and start your slide text tool starting off the page on the region of cardboard. Using the black selection tool, you can drag to the page and resize it using the bounding box handles.

  • How to bind the text blocks between pages?

    Hello

    I searched all autour for this, and I'm guessing that the answer could be so simple that no tutorial it doesn't even mention:

    How can I link the blocks of text between pages? I made a block of text in each master page and then connected one left with the one on the right. Indeed, all of the text in the document is linked from the page on the left of the right-hand page. But how do I link the page on the right with the following two pages 'below' in the document?

    If I'm not clear, here is another attempt to explain: I'm going to insert a lot of text in a document, and I already know the size and the type of text block, I want the text inserted. When I put the text in the left side, it connects (goes on) the block of text on the right side. But it stops there. So I have to manaully through both pages, which connects the right page "at the top" with the left 'below', page by clicking on the image by clicking on the small arrow in the lower right corner, and clicking on the next page below. There must be a way to organize it in master pages or in some other way?

    Thanks in advance for helping me with this problem of small size, but huge!

    Best

    Kim

    Two things...

    For "automatic formatting" to work with Captain linked frames page, you must NOT release the Master frame before placing the text, and you must click inside the image area, not any sort of guide.

  • Muse: Text blocks the lower graphic States

    I created buttons with rollover States: Normal with a 30% opacity. Rollover, Mousedown and Active: shadow 100% more drop. It is related to the landing page. So far so good.

    I want the text for each button to be 100% opacity all the time (he has a shadow too) so it is easy to read (not spent 30%), so it is in a separate text block, also linked to the landing page.

    button1.jpg

    In preview mode, when I rollover, mousedown, etc. the button background works as it should (go from 30% to 100%).

    button2.jpg

    Until he hits the block of text. He text block "shields" (for lack of better term) the State and the button returns to its Normal state:

    button3.jpg

    I tried to solve this with layers without result. So... my question is the following:

    How can I get the text above the button in a constant state of 100% and do not have the text block are interfering with the States below.

    Of course, I forgot something. What Miss me?
