Type alignment between two text boxes.
Hello.
I have a business card, needs to have two text blocks, in separate text boxes, align vertically.
To make a long story short. I use InDesign to create a business card for "PageFlex" be used on "Four51. If the text variables change. Sometimes all three designations will be used, I.e., cell phone, fax. Other times only the telephone and/or fax numbers is used.
The customer wants that the block of text on the left to align vertically, ALWAYS with the right hand of the block of text to the top line. Even if the right text block will change. E.g. telephone, Fax and laptop still will NOT be used. It may be that a single employee and the left text frame must adapt to align at the top. Either upwards or downwards to match the alignment of the right hand block.
Here you can see two text blocks will align at the top. The right text block is "aligned to the bottom" in "vertical Justification".
Here, you see what happens when a line of text is deleted. I want that the block of text on the left to lower with the right text block so that they remain aligned.
Again, here's a deleted row. I would like once again, the left block of type lower with the right text block.
If it is not possible, it's ok. I'm not a guru type. It is not in my knowledge of InDesign. I tried with the text "linked" and "unrelated". I can't make it work.
Thanks in advance for any help.

All you need to do is place the left as an anchored object frame on the top line of the right frame (before the word name).
The left frame with then up and down with the top line.
See you soon

How to create sharp lines between two text boxes?
I create a book that is written by several people, and so I want to create a "chapter... author.
Like this:
Chapter 1... Jon Doe
chapter2 ................................. Simon Harper
so that these points have always the same distance.
Help, please!
Well, if your 'chapter' and your 'jon doe' is in the separate text boxes, then there is no easy way to do it. (You could draw a bunch of lines dotted, which isn't difficult, but the only way to standardize manually drag the lines around).
However, if "chapter" and "jon doe" is in the same text box, separated by a tab character, then it is quite easy. Have you used a ruler before tab? This gives a test:
(1) type a brief sample in a text area, like the one in your post, but instead of separate columns with points, simply use a single tab
(2) select all text
3) go to the Type-> tabs
(4) I hope it sounds familiar to you (probably from MS Word, or maybe
using a typewriter) but otherwise,. (4A), click once on the sovereign to insert a tab stop
4 (b) type a question in the area of 'leader', and
4 c) press Tab or Enter to confirm
FYI, it's what you want, a 'leader' or a 'leader of dot. Knowing that he has called a "Chief" will help you find it in InDesign help.

Text run horizontally through the two text boxes
I am trying to run the text between the two areas of text, but in a continuous manner. Essentially, we have disclosed no claimed that crosses a spread. Someone, that is created is no longer here, two text boxes (one on each page) and has managed to take the text where the first line in the first text box has continued in the second text box and then wrapped into the first text box and then continued in the second text box and so on.
So with the paragraph above text might hit the left text box to "Essentially" and continue to "we" the first line of the text on the right box. Go overboard and then to the second line of the left text box continuing to the second line of the text on the right box. And so on. I can't understand what they have done, but I'm sure it's something simple in InDesign.
Note: these are areas of unique text, not two columns in a text box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I see it. The text is flowing the way it does in mine. Who are soft return characters at the end of each line in the first screenshot, and # is a marker of the end of history. The lines were manually arranged and set frame on the left. This means that if you add a few words it will crumble.

helllo all,.
I'm working on the application web flex4 with as3.
I have a doubt, I've created a mxml it has two text boxes, except the button and a combo box that is has two option as a percentage and the amount.
my needs are I gave here.
need 1: when I choose option amount that two text boxes does not have to be editable.when I select text tat box two percentage option will be editable.
need 2: when I select the percentage in combox option and two text boxes are empty, and then click the button Save-> I want to display warning msg
need 3: when I select the option amount combox and the two boxes are emptu click the button Save-> I don't want any warning messages.
How to validate it and how to write backup for this function.
any suggession or extract code is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
B.Venkatesan
Looks like you are trying to do too much at once. Try to hang the events correctly
The close event of the comboBox can do something like this
protected function toggleTextEditing(event:DropDownEvent):void
{
If (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label is "Percentage")
{
This.Text1.editable = true;
This.Text2.editable = true;
}
Else if (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label == "Number")
{
This.Text1.editable = false;
This.Text2.editable = false;
}
}
The button's click event can do something like
protected function save(event:MouseEvent):void
{
If (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label is "Percentage")
{
If (this.text1.text == "" & this.text2.text == "")
{
Alert.Show ("text is empty");
return;
}
on the other
{
}
}
Else if (this.optionCmb.selectedItem.label == "Number")
{
}
}
If you can put in your entire code, maybe I can have a look to see if I can find something wrong with that.

Get two text boxes appear...
Hi guys. Im trying to get to two areas of text to appear once a selection is made from a drop-down list. Two text boxes have been updated with the invisible and the formCalc is written under the change option in the drop-down list. This does not work when I make the selection. Text boxes appear only once I make the choice to the second time and on the option I want that text areas is visible on. -CV103 is my combo - CV107 & CV108 are my text boxes that I set to invisible. I pasted my code below because I can't seem to get this right. Help, please! root. P1.client.variable_option_client.cv103::change - (FormCalc, client) if (root. P1.client.variable_option_client.cv103.RawValue == 'Partner') then root. P1.client.variable_option_client. CV107. Presence = root "visible." P1.client.variable_option_client.cv108.presence = 'visible' to other root. P1.client.variable_option_client. CV107. Presence = root 'invisible '. P1.client.variable_option_client.cv108.presence = "invisible" endif thanks Joey
The problem is that the rawValue does not hold the value that you select to exit. If you want that the user has selected on the change event you xfa.event.newText... instead of Fieldname.rawValue

It of not much more to this issue. My format works like this:
Title H2
Explanation of H3
Title H2
Explanation of H3
Title H2
Explanation of H3
I need to distribute these evenly text boxes towards the bottom of my page. It's a bit of pain to do manually. Since there are other objects on the page, spacing guidelines to throw out of whack. My safest way is to create a box, line it up at the bottom of the first group and the top of the other. Then repeat all the way to the bottom of the page.
I thought to use a text box, but it was rejected. I need to have content pulled from other parts of the site. That is not possible with the single text box. In addition, it is easier to format individual text to text box.
If someone has an idea, I'd love to hear it.
Thank you.
Yes, which makes it difficult. The only way I can see to get around it is to temporarily remove the 100% width, so you can group objects, and then come back them once you have changed the spacing.

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.

Spacing between several text boxes waiting for spacing
Hello, I think I'm more or less on track with how I want to expose this design, but I have a question about how the text boxes are spaced of vertically. Here is my document:
I want the text to wrap the png of I inserted the floor plan. When the text gets close to the edge of the png, of course the text continues on the next line. To achieve this effect (not sure if it was the most effective method), I've created a new text box to create a new path by clicking on the Red more framed at the end of the box so that the text continues. Clearly, a novice here.
My concern is the spacing between each box until the attack of the full text. My attack is set to 26 pt, but I spaced manually areas of text from second and third to match the General attack.
If I had to change the line spacing, I have to manually set the spacing again box.
Is - that the route right/only to go for what I want to achieve? Thanks in advance.
I have to correct myself - I tried the text string with a PNG image transparent, and it did not work. But do it the second way of drawing or reshaping the area of your image is in.

How to make a one column instead of two text box?
I inherited this document to someone else, and for some reason any instead of doing the entire page 2 columns, they made the two columns of text individual boxes. How to set the number of columns in a textbox control. I know how to adjust the columns on the entire page, but I don't know how you do in a text box.
You can set an individual text by choosing object > text frame Options. On the general tab, change the number of columns.

A drop-down list box, two text boxes
Hi all, I feel a bit silly to ask what she should be very simple, right? I have the a combo, the solution box a text down pat. For example when the user select name of the staff member in the drop down menu, it fills the phone number of this person in Textbox1.
I would like to add to this so that when a user selects (and here I use false details) "Bob," he filled before his phone number in Textbox1 and "[email protected]" in Textbox2 simultaneously. Simply impossible to find the solution of anywhere.
So far, I have used the code next (on the net) in the scripts of strike of the custom from the drop-down list box, but how I lay on it?
(function () {}
Do nothing if it is committed
If (event.willCommit) return;Set up a table to hold the various paragraphs of the text
var aQuotes = [];Fill the table with the text of paragraph
aQuotes [0] = "bob phone"
aQuotes [1] = 'sarah phone'
aQuotes [2] = "phone linda".
aQuotes [3] = "phone jerry."
aQuotes [4] = "phone of mary".
aQuotes [5] = 'phone jessie. "
Get the selected item, which is the value of exports of the selected drop-down list box item
var point = event.changeExDisplay the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
getField("ITC_Phone").value is aQuotes [point];.})();
Bravo guys.
Like this:
Custom script from typo to the drop-down list box (dropdown)
(function () {}
Do nothing if it is committed
If (event.willCommit) return;
Set up a table to hold the various paragraphs of the text
var aQuotes = [];
Complete the tables table of telephone and e-mail addresses
aQuotes [0] = ['phone of bob', "[email protected]" ""];
aQuotes [1] = ["sarah phone", "[email protected]" ""];
aQuotes [2] = ["phone linda", "[email protected]" ""];
aQuotes [3] = ['phone jerry', "[email protected]" ""];
aQuotes [4] = ['phone mary', "[email protected]" ""];
aQuotes [5] = ["phone jessie", "[email protected]" ""];
Get the selected item, which is the value of exports of the selected drop-down list box item
var point = event.changeEx;
Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
getField("ITC_Phone").value = aQuotes [item] [0];
getField("ITC_Email").value = aQuotes [item] [1];
})();
This code assumes that the value of exports of the items in drop-down list box is 0, 1, 2, 3...
If there is much more that the aQuotes table should really be defiined in a JavaScript file at the level of the document if you are concerned about performance and maintainability.
