Delete a threaded frame in a document
Hi,
i'm working with indesign since 2 weeks and i can't understand why seems to be impossible to delete a threaded text frames without it flows into the next frame in succession.
In a impaginated document for example, i don't want that the text flows over the others pages, because i just want the text frame to be discarded, so the next pages remains correct and with the same settings.
I've read a lot in the manual but can't find something about this.
Thanks in advance,
Mehjad
Let me add that there is a sample script that is included with recent versions of InDesign that will isolate a single frame and remove it, and the content, from the thread, which might be an easier method fot you -- select the frame, runt the script, then delete. The script is called BreakFrame.jsx and you should find it in the Scripts panel under Application > Samples folder > javascript folder. Double-click it to run, or assign a keyboard shortcut to it.

How do I delete all empty graphics frames from a document?
I have data merged a document and need to remove all the empty graphics frames as quick as possible.
I have found solutions for deleting empty text frames but not graphics frames. Can somebody help with this as it will save soo much time and RSI!
I found an applescript solution here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/756281
However, I am running Windows 7 and Id CC
Cheers,
Kris.Hi MToys
I added a little to the script so that it will work on Ovals and Polygons also. [Not TextFrames]
You just have to set the values for which of the frame types you want to delete.
You can do this by setting the const values at the top of the script for DeleteRectangle, DeleteOvals, DeletePolygons
There are a few uncertainties that I had:
If an object is selected, should the script only delete that objects frame type.
I.e., If you select an oval, should the script know to delete only ovals.
At this point, I did not do that, rather it will just get the settings from the selected object, and delete all frame types with those settings
I had to disable matching the transparency settings because they werent comparing correctly between different frame types
Meaning, I made 3 frames, Oval, Rectangle and Polygon - no settings applied.
I selected the oval and ran the script. It only deleted the oval even though set it to delete all.
I found that the transparency settings werent matching... even though there werent any
So, for now - its disabled.
If someone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it.

Iphone 5 - I am trying to delete message threads and once I do, I go to text someone else and it won't send. HELP? I just don't want those messages on my phone anymore. I have tried to restart my phone but when I do, the "deleted" threads show back up on my phone. I use iOS 7.1.
Hello Makayla,
It sounds like you're deleted message threads keep coming back after you restart the devie. I recommend starting by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.

Delete Withholding tax info in cleared document
We recently made the change from classic to extended withholding tax. I've been able to successfully run RFWT0010 and RFWT0020 when the withholding tax in a vendor master record was changed. However, we have several vendors the were marked as 1099 vendors (non employee compensation) that really are not subject to withholding tax. I've removed the withholding tax data in the vendor master record, but the documents still contain the withholding tax information, even after I've run both RFWT0010 and RFWT0020. I've opened up those fields to be changed in document settings already. Is it not possible to delete or remove withholding tax from the document unless I do it manually through FB02?
We had the same problem. There is no SAP delivered tool like RFWT0010 and RFWT0020 that will work to delete withholding tax data from cleared documents. However you can create a CATT script for transaction FB09 which will work to do this. I used SE16n to gather the needed information which is document number, Line item number and fiscal year. I uploaded the relevant vendor numbers into the query screen for table WITH_ITEM
I chose the relevant fiscal years, tax type FE, tax code not equal to blank, base amount not equal to zero, i chose to display all those plus line item number document number, vendor number, We only have one company code so that was not relevant for me.
I then copied that list into my Catt global variant spreadsheet and away I went. I would worn you about reversal documents you might want to exclude those. I would create a Variant for these selections as well
Good luck
Also if it doesn't really matter what the historical line items say. I had the users simply exclude those vendors from 1099 selection criteria -

After this I need to close first document. Now I am opening the second document from indt file which has same number of layers as first document. I am trying to paste frames from scrap data to second document using '' 'ICopyCmdData ' and 'kPasteCmdBoss' as shown in follwoing function

if(status == kSuccess)
CA("result = kTrue");
result = kTrue;
}//end if (scrapContents->Length() >= 1)
}while(kFalse);
return result;
Here in above function its required to set Parent Layer UIDRef and because of this all frames are getting paste in one layer.
Is there any way we can paste frame in there respective layers?
Also I need to work this code with CS4 server and desktop indesign.
Thanks in advance,

Help! I've deleted most text in a Word document accidentally and pressed save - thus losing most of the last week's work! Is there likely to be a temp file anywhere from yesterday so that I can retrieve it?
I don't know which Mac you have, but if you have an intel, update to 10.7 and you can use the function called Versions, which autmatically saves a version of your text, and you can revert to it when needed.

[AS IDCS3] copy frame from one document to another doc
Hi-
I have a document with a text frame labeled "code". I want to copy that frame and paste it into another document.
How do I do that?
I am using applescript.
Thanks, KarenI got the following information from Ray Robertson:
As of CS3, you can now do this (directed at the application):
duplicate text frame "code" of document 2 to page 1 of document 1
Or use document names if you want. In CS2, you had to resort to using the ID
commands for copy and paste.
This worked great. Karen -

IPhone 4S AND 5S freeze when trying to delete message threads?
I have the newest software available and both phones are up to date.
When I go to delete old message threads, my iPhone freezes. It will let me swipe to the side and clear them, but after 2 or 3 threads it will freeze. I'll be in the Messages section and it will be unresponsive. I will close out of it and then when I reopen it- it says I have 0 messages altogether. I have to literally turn my phone off and then back on to view my inbox again- and the message threads I thoght were deleted are still there.

Show Text Thread in all opened Document
I want to show text thread in all opended Documents, here is my script, but have error, anyone can fix?
var myEnableTextThreads = app.menuActions.itemByID(24332);
var myEnableTextThreads1 = app.menuActions.item("Hide Text Threads");
var myEnableTextThreads2 = app.menuActions.item("Show Text Threads");
ShowThreads();
function ShowThreads(){
var myDoc = app.documents;
for (var i=0; i<myDoc.length; i++) {
if (myDoc[i].menuActions.item("Show Text Threads") == true){
myEnableTextThreads.invoke();
alert("Text Threads Shown");Hi,
No such property is exposed for scripting, unfortunately.
The one to observe is a menuAction.name ==> but this is only an effect of some procedure involved by menuAction. Even worse ==> script will show you the last menuAction status - not the one is currently applied to activeDocument. It will update after menu activation in UI, not earlier.
So you can only toggle between both of them regardless on its current state, using app.menuActions.itemByID(24332).
If you will try to check (by script) its current menuAction.name ==> sometimes is true, sometimes is false.
If you will check it manually ==. is true cause is updated already.

Graphic frames in a document...
hi to all,
I need all and only graphic frames of a document?
what is the right interface?
like InterfacePtr<IStoryList> for story of text frames...
thanks in advance!Hi,
I think you can try this :
bool YourClass::IsGraphicFrame(const UIDRef& graphicFrameRef)
InterfacePtr<IGraphicFrameData> graphicFrameData(graphicFrameRef, UseDefaultIID());
// Test not nil
return Utils<IPageItemTypeUtils>()->IsGraphicFrame(graphicFrameRef)
|| (graphicFrameData->IsGraphicFrame() && !graphicFrameData->HasContent());
Good luck
