How to edit linked text in an Indesign long document without it effecting the whole document

I want to work out how to edit text in indesign without the rest scrolling
I have a large 200 page book.  The text was supplied in Word and I have placed the whole document automatically and now I am going through each page doing my magic with pics, stylesheets etc.
When the client comes back with edits, I am concerned that deleted or adding in text will scroll the text to the next chapter, etc etc.  This will be a nightmare.  Not sure how to unlink say 5 pages or so that are in each chapter so I can edit easily without the whole document being effected.
Apologies I am probably not explaining myself all that well.

john the link is broken
I can see there are scripts but I don't want each page separate rather each chapter (each chapter can go for 2 or 7 pages)
I am only 35 pages or so into the book and if I have to I can re place the text with some work, ie start again with the text pages.
seems sily though that I cannot split the threaded stories a few pages at a time.
The link is now fixed.
You can split the threaded story into separate stories anywhere in the thread. At the chapter breaks seems logical. There are many users who'll assert all sorts of right/wrong at you when it comes to threading text. For my purposes, I set up long documents much the way you propose; threading articles, stories, or chapters discreetly; rarely would I ever thread an entire long document as one. It's a preference, not a rule. Each way has benefits and pitfalls.

    You can't. Restoring from a backup is all or none.
    You can use a utility such as this one to extract the messages from the backup on your computer but you can't re-transfer the messages to the Messages app on your iPhone.

  • How to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

    how to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

    It will depend on the image. If it was one that was saved as a psd file and has layers (window>layers) {Look in the layers panel and see if you see a layer with a thumbnail that looks like a large T} In this instance, you can double click on that thumbnail to highlight the text then type in its replacement.
    If the image is a jpg which does not support layers, transparency or live text, then that would mean that you need to use the selection tools to select that text and fill it with the same color as the background. You can then use the text tool to type in the text you want.
    Remember to save a copy as a psd file so you can edit the text at a later date.

    how to edit a text with same font in a image in photoshop 7

    Good day!
    The question seems to provide insufficient information for a relevant answer.
    Do you have the font?
    Is the text a (Type) Layer of its own or part of the image?
    Could you please post a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible?

  • How to edit bitmap which is imported in flash using xml and save the edited bitmap back to xml in flash.

    hi all
    It would be appreciated if any one let me know how to edit
    bitmap which is imported in flash using xml and save the edited
    bitmap back to xml in flash.
    Is it posible to save the bitmap data in flash?
    thanks in advance

    Yes you can... but like I said before you need to upload the
    data from the changes you make to a server.
    In terms of the solution... its unlikely that you'll find one
    specifically for your needs. You will have to learn whatever you
    don't know how already and maybe adapt some existing examples to
    your needs.
    To change the visual state of a movie clip... you just do all
    the regular things that you want to do to it using flash... scale,
    rotation, drawing API , textfields etc in actionscript. If you
    don't know how to how to do that stuff, then you need to learn that
    first. That's basic actionscript.
    You can capture the visual state of a movieclip using the
    BitmapData class. That includes a loaded jpeg. You can also
    manipulate bimatp data using the same class. You should read up on
    that if you don't know how to use it or check out the examples
    below for uploading info.
    For uploading to the server:
    Here's an as2 solution that took 15 secs to find using
    google:
    http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000645.php
    If you're using as3, google search for "jpeg encoder as3" and
    look through that info. There are also historical answers in the
    forums here related to this type of thing that might help as
    well.

    Hey there ipremacha,
    It sounds like you need to enable Text Message Forwarding on your iPhone for your iPad to send MMS/SMS messages through your phone.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

    Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

    Getting the character count for a paragraph is trivial:
    Sub NumChars1()
    MsgBox Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Count
    End Sub
    Even outputting it to the document is trivial:
    Sub NumChars2()
    With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
      .Range.InsertAfter .Range.Characters.Count
    End With
    End Sub
    The real issue comes when you want to update the document. If the destination paragraph is only ever empty or contains the character count of the previous paragraph, you could use:
    Sub NumChars3()
    With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
      .Next.Range.Text = .Range.Characters.Count & vbCr
    End With
    End Sub

  • How can I insert a vertical line  between two underlined unfilled with text lines.  I am trying to construct an invoice and I need a break.  If I try any of the shapes or inset functions it eliminates my underlined lines and shifts the whole document.

    I am trying to construct an invoice.  How can I install a vertical line between two or more underlined lines to create a break.  I have tried the insert, shapes and nothing works.  If I try any of the functions the whole document shifts to the right and I loose some of the lines.  Is there a work around, or is I work not able to do what I want?   
    Thanks

    It sounds as though you may have "Object Causes Wrap" activated for the Line Shape. This will push other content away.
    See the Wrap Inspector.

  • How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

    Page Setup, including page orientation, is done in the File menu. The setting applies to the whole document. As Peter says, you can rotate the contents of a page (not including the text layer of a word processing document).
    As an alternative, you could use Numbers, where Sheets are empty canvases onto which you may place images, charts, tables and text boxes, and where page orientation may be set for individual Sheets. The main tradeoff is that you lose many of the built-in word processing and page layout features of Pages.

    In most cases you can just select the text and copy/paste. You can do that unless the file is a picture/scan.

    How do I change font in the whole document at the same time?

    Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer
    Menu > Help > Pages User Guide
    Download and read page 27 on creating and using Styles, which is done largely by example ie you make the text what you want then save it as a Style to be applied wherever you want in the document from the Styles Drawer.
