Anchored pictures in text box 'drift'

http://www.houselavigne.us/Media/Photos.html
I have a problem with anchored pictures 'drifting' down our 'Photos' page so that by the bottom they no longer line up with their description.
I used the 'About Us' page in the Travel template and just copied and pasted the sample picture and text area from the Our Photos text box until I had enough for all of our albums. In iWeb the pictures each have an anchor point on the line above their description so that they appear with their bottom edge lined up with the bottom edge of the date line:
(anchor)
Description
Date
And in iWeb the pictures line up with their anchor point and date line all the way down the page. When I upload my site and view it in Safari the pictures start to drift slowly down the page, so that the last picture at the bottom of the page is several lines below it's date line.
In the original template each picture is 45 x 45 pixels and they are still that size in my modified version... Unfortuniately troubleshooting takes a VERY long time with a site this large.
Has anyone else had trouble with this?

I noticed todya on a Windows PC that the anchored pictures stay put, it's only when viewed on a Mac that iWeb's formatting doesn't work.

  • Pictures and text boxes in rtf template

    Hi there,
    are there any general rules for applying pictures and text boxes to rtf-templates?
    As far as I have experienced, the text boxes are not shown when generating a report. Is it generally not possible to display text boxes? Are there any work arounds?

  • Pictures in text boxes on Pages 5.0

    So the update to Pages has had quite a radical overhaul. Most of it I can get used to but there seems to be a major change to how text boxes work. Previously if I create a text box I can drag around the page and everything remains inside of it, in the same place. Now, the pictures I put into text boxes stay on the same part of the page, but the text box moves. How can I arrange it so if I insert a picture into a text box it remains in the same place always.
    Also, editing text boxes seems strange now. Trying to click the cursor into the text box so you can edit text seems bizarrly difficult and takes way too many clicks. What's going on there?
    Sorry one more thing - I use Pages every single day for something with exactly the same format each time. Therefore being able to simply highlight text from the day before and paste over it with the new text was a massive time saver. Especially as using "alt+cmd+shift+v" would keep it in the same format. Now it doesn't paste over, it pastes but keeps the old text below it, even though I'm still highlighting the old text.
    Thanks.

    I think that these issues are most likely bugs.  I have found and reported a couple bugs related to text boxes as well.  You can and should report bugs to Apple here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html
    Meanwhile, a workaround for your first issue that I have been using is selecting the image in the text box, and also selecting the text box itself, and choosing Arrange -> Group.  This will move everything around together, while allowing you to double-click on the text an extra time to still edit it.  It's definitely a workaround and not a bug fix, but it should allow you to work semi-normally until the bug does get fixed by Apple.
    As regards your second issue, I am not able to reproduce that problem when I test it.  For me, selecting text and pasting over it, with or without matching style, replaces only the highlighted text.  Can you perhaps provide more details and how this issue happens?

  • How to copy/paste anchor text box to its anchor point in text and delete all empty anchors?

    hi all
    i have a document of few pages but one story. The right column is the main text box and on many places anchored text boxes are placed which appeared on the left column as shown below.
    i want text of each anchor-text-box to be cut from its place and paste at its insertion/anchor point and delete all empty anchored boxes.
    I am trying since morning but i unable to reach anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be helpful.
    virender

    Ok, let's say you have one main text box (not anchored) and three text boxes that are anchored to text within it. The first one is anchored with text, the second one is unanchored, and the third one is empty (I'm not going to get into inline anchoring vs. custom anchoring since you didn't bring it up in your post).
    We cycle 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 might be that you're not looking at the main text frame and then checking to see if anything is anchored to it. You're looking at each text frame and figuring out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.

  • How to link a text box to an anchor frame in the master pages?

    Ok, as the title states, we are trying to figure out if it is possible to link a text box to an anchor frame in the master page. When you look at our Master Page layout, we have a text box in the upper left hand corner of the left hand page, this is used for our machine serial numbers. Then we have an anchor frame that automatically fills out the figure number. Let's say I have pages 2 & 3 (left & right), they have a S/N at the top of the page for the machine, then pages 4 & 5 have a different S/N. If I have to add more pages in between pages 2 & 3 (bumping the current 4 & 5 to 6 & 7), the anchor frame bumps to the next page, but the S/N text box doesn't. Is there a way to fix it so that they both move to the next page? Thanks for the help.
    P.S. I can include images and other info if needed.

    I have included a two pictures that should help me explain.
    Master Page:
    This is the master page set up, the "Page Text Box" has the flow set to "B" while the S/N text box has the flow set to "A". This setup is for our parts manuals, the left page is usually an illustration while the right page is usually a parts list. The text box, anchored frame & paragraph tag are empty in the master page set up. The "page text box" has a flow of "B" and the "S/N text box" has a master flow of "A".
    Body Page 1:
    When we create new pages, the paragraph tag automatically fills in the figure title on the left page, then we add an anchor frame within the text box to hold the illustration. You will notice that I added in a "test" serial number at the top of the page. Now if I need to go back and add two pages before this, the anchor frame, illustration and parts list will move to a new page, but the S/N text box will not. The "Before S/N TBD" would stay on the original page.
    This is what happens, the text box containing the illustration and the parts list "bump" to the next page, but the S/N text box does not. So the question we have is there a way to link that text box to the page so when we create new pages the S/N text box moves with the illustration.
    Does this help?
    Thanks for the assistance Error7103.

  • Anchored text boxes in XML

    I am wondering if anyone can help..
    I have created a structured indesign document (structured as in tagged for XML import). My problem is the first tagged object is an anchored text box which needs to sit on top of the second anchored tagged picture box. This layout is fine before importing the xml file. however after import the first anchored text box disappears and is replaced by normal text.. is there anyway to stop the box disappearing after import?
    any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using Indesign CS4 on a PC.

    Not that I know of off the top of my head. I'd suggest that, if you are allowed to do so, gin up an example INDD file, put it up on YouSendIt or a similar service, and invite the forum-ites to take a crack at it. Probably, one of us can come up with some clever method to avoid the need for anchored frames at all; I can't visualize why you would need to do so, and my fair-to-middlin' knowledge of XML export and import in ID makes me think that you can't flow text into and out of anchored text frames with XML. However, I will dig into it and see if I can't confirm or deny this hunch of mine.

  • CS4 Linking Text Boxes Together in Anchored Objects?

    Hi. Using InDesign CS4 I have a Anchored Object that I would like to link part of it to the next one in the text frame. Example: I have grouped together a text box, a box with a placed UPC from Illustrator and another text box stacked on top of each other, all lined up. I group this and place it in a text box so I can set these at different places along a 29" document. When I have overset text, in the top box for example, I see the + sign but can't grab it to try to link the text to the next text box in the Anchored or grouped object. All I can do it change the size of the box - even when holding down the command key on the Mac with the text too enabled. I am setting it up this way so all three boxes stay together when positioning on pages. I have multiple rows of these so it makes it easier to modify. If I take the grouped set out of the text box so it's by itself I can grab the overset text. I am trying to link text boxes so it's easier and faster to flow in text from another program. Thanks.
    Pat

    OK, I will try to get the whole page later. I want to keep what you see in the screen shot - one of the grouped objects - together as it goes across the page. So the 9232554 text and all bellow that would stay grouped together when I tab it over to line up to a certain spot on the page. This is placed in a text box that runs horizonal on the page, about 28"  across. I also wanted to link the 9232554 box to the 9232729 box which is just a duplicate of the group of text and UPC code before it. But from what you say, and what I tried to do, I can't. Even when all the anchored object groups are in the same long text thread. I tried not grouping  each section - the UPC code sandwiched by the text boxes, but could not place them in the long text box when not grouped togther.
    I wanted to flow in the text to all 14 of these grouped or anchored objects, say all top boxes, in one 'paste' instead of doing each one at a time but keeping the 3 elements you see togther at all times.

  • Anchored text box within a text frame

    I'm struggling to find the correct anchored option to allow an anchored text box to sit under a paragraph block with a 4pt space after. What I need is to edit the paragraph above. If the copy runs onto more lines I want the box to drop down as the extra line increase (to keep in the flow).
    Also, I may need to increase the amount of copy inside the anchored text box. When I pull the depth of the anchored box down, the whole anchored box shoots up. The space after the above paragraph has lost its spacing.
    Can anyone explain the best way to anchor a box which could change in depth but keep the same spacing between each block of text?
    Thanks

    You have two choices, use auto for the leading on the paragraph that contains the inline/above line frame (and you can set the autoleading percentage in the Justification settings so it calculates the same value as your fixed leading for that size type if you don't want to use a different paragraph style) and ID will adjust the leading to the largest "character" in a line -- the anchored frame, or you can use a custom anchored frame and set the offsets and text wrap.
    In this case, I think the inline/above line option is preferable as it will push the anchoed frame to the next column if necessary, and it's a lot easier to set up.

  • How do I let a inserted picture flow over the other text boxes

    I am creating a poster.  I have a text box on top and one on the bottom.  I want to insert a picture in the middle and want the picture to kind of flow around the other two text boxes without blacking out the two text boxes.  Also, how can I curve the text boxes to a slight curve.

  • Picture and text in the same box for the calender?

    Is it possible to put a small picture in the box (for say May 4) and also get a short text line in the same box?
    When I'm doing it now, the picture takes up the whole box and the text goes underneath.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately that's how it works. If you have a 3rd party editor you could add the text to the picture before adding it to the calendar. Put in a feature request at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Threaded Anchored Text Boxes Causing Problems (Crashing)

    I have a set of three anchored styled text boxes inside my primary text flow. Indesign seemed to allow this, but is now having trouble after I resized the Primary text frame and pinched these anchored boxes. The documnet is now in overset after the set of three and indesign is crashing whenever I touch them. It's holding my document hostage.
    I've tried: Pasting the whole document into a larger formatt file, or Cutting out the set of three and they all shut down the program.
    Has anyone else had this problem or am I missing something else?

    Have you tried exporting to IDML and open it again?

  • How do you tilt the writing in your text box or tilt a picture for Pages08?

    Some of the templates that are provided for Pages 08' have tilted/slanted text and pictures, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it myself. Is it possible?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you want the line of text at an angle it must be in a text box. Select the box and while holding ⌘ drag one corner of the box. or you can rotate it in the Metrics Inspector.

  • Picture Book theme - why has my book printed with text box outlines showing? and how do I change this for any future purchases? This did not occur with previous books.

    Why have borders appeared around the text boxes in the Picture Book theme and how do I change them for the future.  My latest book looks dreadful!

    Have you checked, if your book is really set to the "Photos" Theme? This looks like you may have used one of the "Travel" themes. These themes create borders around the text boxes. When you select a theme, the book title will say "Photos", even if the theme is a different one.
    For example, frames text boxes with the "travel" theme.
    Have you previewed your book, before printing it? Did the framed boxes already show in the preview?

  • PLEASE HELP anchored text boxes corrupted CS5

    I have a book I've been working on for some time that is close to final. It has anchored text boxes in the sidebar that flow with the text and is being edited in an IC assignment environment. I made semi-final edits to it yesterday and exported a PDF, but when I started scrolling through the pages, I noticed that whole pages of the content were blank. The stories were still flowing as if there was text on the blank pages, but there were no text boxes to select and it was intermitten through the whole document. Thinking the layout file was corrupt, I exported to IDML and opened that. It recovered almost identical to the other file and now all the anchored text boxes are completely locked. I can no longer select them to edit the text or move them.  I tried unlinking the IC stories, still locked. I tried going back to a version of the ID file from before I made the edits--figuring the edits would be preserved in the stories and I could just reedit the layout, but while I've managed to recover the pages of content that had gone blank, my anchored text boxes are still completely locked. Does anyone have any suggestions. This book was nearly final and I have a hard deadline.
    Mac 10.5.8, ID 7.0.4
    I do have ID CS5.5 on another computer. Do you think it would be worth trying to convert the file to the newer version and then back to CS5?

    OK, I've completely severed all connection to IC. Anchored boxes are still locked. I exported the whole thing to IDML again and opened that. Anchored boxes are still locked. I copied the text out of the story into a new blank document and the anchored text boxes are still locked. They show little locks on the frames. Is there a way to lock anchored text boxes without locking the story?  If there is, maybe there's a way to unlock them?  I'm just wondering if some option I don't know about was accidentally applied.

  • Pictures overlaping text on blog site

    Hello All,
    My wife has been using iWeb 08 to create a blog on some of our adventures. For some reason, with our most recent entry, we've had a lot of problems getting the spacing correct. The pictures are overlapping the text. All looks fine in iWeb before publishing, but once published, it looks terrible with everything overlapping. Here is a link to the page:
    http://web.me.com/joeb78/J%26_B_in_Africa/Blog/Entries/2009/4/17_CapeTown.html
    Any help advice on how to correct this issue would be great. It seems like it should publish as it looks in iWeb, but this is not the case. I am guessing it's a problem with the spacing and breaks in the HTML, but I am not sure how to correct.
    Thanks,
    JB

    Thanks Fade-2-Black - this solved my problem. After doing some research, I realized that my wife was using one of the iWeb pre-formatted pages for her blogs. In order to add images, she was simply dragging the photos onto the blog page using the "Media" browser. The problem was that this was creating floating images instead of ones that were anchored. So, I just used some text boxes and then the insert/choose command as you suggested and it looks great now.
    Thanks so much for the help.
