ID CS5: Problem with Text Wrap being Forgetful :(

I am having a problem with text wrap. Whenever I open this INDD file I am working on now, some of the images shift from having what I call "actual" text wrap to having "false" text wrap. "Actual" text wrap *actually* wraps the text around the image as it is supposed to; "false" text wrap says that "Wrap Around Bounding Box" is applied to the image yet no text is wrapped. After opening the file, making sure to unset and reset the text wrap on each offending image to show an "actual" text wrap WITHOUT changing layer order, saving the file, closing, and reopening, some images have "false" text wrap again! This is a 77 page document with images on every page.
Another occurrence is if I largely change the flowed text. If I must remove a paragraph on page 7, for example, then the "actual" text wrapped images on page 10, 12, and 18 change to "false" text wrapped images and I have to reset the text wrap on each image. There are often images in between offending ones that DO NOT change, but it doesn't seem to be the same ones each time. So once image A, C, and D will change to "false" text wrap, while B, E, and F are fine; the next time, A, B, and F are wrong and the others are fine. This is driving me crazy as I have never in 8 years of using InDesign encountered a problem using Text Wrap. Please note:
Ignore Text Wrap IS NOT selected.
The text box IS below the images.
The copy is flowed throughout the document.
Preferences>Composition>"Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath Selected"" DOES NOT FIX IT.
"Wrap around bounding box" IS showing as selected for the image/images.
There is NO CLIPPING PATH / PHOTOSHOP PATH / ALPHA PATH on these images.
The images / text box order is not changed between being correct and being incorrect.
Anyone else with this trouble? And, if so, how did you fix it? Thanks,

  • Problem with text wrap on anchored objects

    Hi, I'm using CS5 on a Macbook Pro OS 10.6.8
    I'm laying out a multiple page biographies section of a conference program and I need to anchor the photo boxes to the beginning of each new bio. I made a photo box and assigned it the proper text wrap attributes. But when I copy and paste the photo box into the text, it sits on the line of type and the text is not wrapping properly at all. I've included a screen shot to illustrate the problem. I want it to wrap as shown in the right column. But what I get is what you see in the left column.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Diane

    But then I'd have to do that every time I place hundreds of these boxes, right? Instead I've created a style sheet for the paragraphs with with boxes to have a 6 line drop cap and that seems to be working. Probably a wierd work-around. I'm open to another more straightforward method of getting the anchored box to sit within the copy every time I paste it in.

  • Problems with Text Wrap

    Hello,
    I'm new and getting more and more frustrated trying to wrap text around a couple of images in InDesign.
    I saved my picture file as, Save for Web & Devices in Photoshop, and in the text wrap options I clicked "wrap around object shape" and under contour options I chose Detect Edges. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and all of my searches for possible errors are coming up short.
    Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
    Thank you so much for your help!

    Err, is this related to scripting somehow? You know you are posting in the scripting forum?

  • Having problems with texts width when viewed in Firefox

    I My site is OK when viewed in Chrome and Safari, but in Firefox, the width of paragraphs is becoming very long and all is displayed wrong.
    I need a clue where to look to fix. I have not , or very little knowledge of HTML code. So I rely on the DW CS5 interface.
    Thanks,D.

    Thanks Nancy ,
    I'll try,
    Should I just paste your info between the brackets, I guess.
    I am not so good with this but I need to spent a bit of time to fix this
    old web site while another one is being designed.
    Yes the images are too big, I'll reduce them, and optimize. This was
    done in a rush..

  • Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

    I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
    The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
    When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
    I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
    If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
    Solution:
    There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

  • CS5 Problem with box positioning

    CS5 Problem with box positioning. 0 Point for box positioning is on the right side now, how can I change it so its on the left side of the box again?
    (When I started to work on my document all of my text boxes were positioned at 20px now they are at 180px and they are 160px width)
    Thanks in advance!

    Without a screen capture showing a bit more about what you mean, I can't tell if this is just a case that you need to reset the zero-point on the ruler (or change from ruler per page to ruler per spread or ruler on spine...) or some other problem entirely.
    You can embed a screen capture in a post using the camera icon on the web page like this:

  • My sister had a problem with call volume being too low on the iPhone 5S.  Is the iPhone 6 louder?  Is anyone else feeling that call volume on iPhone 5S isn't loud enough?

    My sister had a problem with call volume being too low on the iPhone 5S.  Is the iPhone 6 louder?  Is anyone else feeling that call volume on iPhone 5S isn't loud enough?

    I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
    Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
    Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
    But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
    Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

  • Problem with text formatting within a table in Adobe Forms

    Hi all,
    I have a table on a non-interactive Adobe form (which is a copy of the standard expense form PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM.  The table in ABAP has a text field with CHAR50.  On the form, the text field has a width which allows approximately 35 characters.  Therefore the text wraps onto a second line.  My problem is that the text is not formatted and words are just split randomly.
    For example:
    The fox ran across the fields and into the woods.
    would be output as:
    The fox ran across the fields and i
    nto the woods.
    How can the text be formatted to only output complete words?
    I have tried defining the textfield as text only and rich text, but nothing changes the output.
    Interestingly, even if I change the font size from say 10 to 8, the text is output the same, even though there is enough space for at least one more word on the first line.
    Has anyone else come across this problem?
    Thanks,
    Patricia

    Hi Syed
    The table is IT_RECEIPTS_ADD_INFO, field VALUE_CHAR.  In the form it is called Receipts_addl_info.
    I have just found out that the data is being re-formatted in the interface.  That caused the problem.  Many, many thanks for your help. 
    Best regards

  • Problems with text in iWeb publishing much larger, or smaller than in iWeb (it is insane)!

    More than a year ago I had a problem with my iWeb not publishing correctly: links to other websites would not open in a separate window as designed in iWeb. I got help from an AppleCare techie and after he did a lot of tests, he concluded I had a corrupted Domain file (which became apparent after I upgraded to OS Snow Leopard).  I don't remember if I discussed with this techie another problem I had been having for as long as I had used iWeb, and that was "exploding" text: certain words, often italicized, would be huge, after publishing, relative to the surrounding text.  Sometimes certain words, or sentences would be smaller than designed in iWeb.  Through trial and error I would sort of solve these problems by enlarging text boxes, or making the offending word or phrase one text point smaller.  Sometimes deleting the text box entirely, and starting over would work.  And then there are the weird things that happen when my wife opens my website in Internet Explorer: things that make no sense and seem to be totally out of my control.
    So, I've spent a long time rebuilding my website in this supposedly uncorrupted Domain file, and today I finally finished and published to my hard drive, checked it out, and the "exploding" text is there with a vengeance.  So much so that I may just stick with my original ("corrupted") Domain file, the text problem on this new one seems even worse than the old one.  Anyone had this problem?  I meant to ask this question years ago, but got a bit lazy.
    Another question is: I've heard Apple is going to discontinue iWeb.  Despite my problems with the program, I rely on it.  What are the options going to be for iWeb users?

    Well you heard wrong didn't you!
    Apple is discontinuing MobileMe, which is the hosting in favour of iCloud services which will not contain any hosting.
    iWeb is an app and as far as we know you can still continue to use it - it will still work so carry on using it if you are happy with it.
    If you want to look at other alternatives to iWeb, then others suggest RapidWeaver and Sandvox as being closer to iWeb - both are available via the Mac App store.
    Also Freeway Express and Flux 3 are worth looking at - more design freedom and you are not restricted to templates as with RapidWeaver.

  • Formatting options with text wrap

    We are running BPC MS v10 and gave users the ability to enter comments with our input forms this year.  I am pulling the comments into a summary report using a local member which works fine.  The problem is I want to format these cells and use left alignment with word wrap enabled in order to view the full comment in each cell.  When I select any of the cells in the comment column the alignment and text wrap options are both "selected" in the Excel ribbon but it is not wrapping the comments onto the next line.  I have to uncheck the wrap text option in the ribbon and reselect before it will actually wrap to the next line.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    Not trivial, but you could Select All, Copy to get the entire imported document onto the Clipboard. Then open a New Pages Word Processing document and then Edit > Paste and Match Style. The new document will match the defaults in the template. If you find that you will be doing this often, make a custom template for this use.

  • Problems with text box borders, tabbing and saving doc in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0

    When I view my form document in Acrobat Reader, there is a red border around several text boxes
    in which I've selected 'NO border'
    Also, I've selected 'column order' for tabbing, but tabs continue to function in order in which I inserted form item (text box, check box or radial button). Since I didn't insert these consecutively, tabs no jump all around the form instead of proceeding in order from top to bottm and left to right.
    I've checked for Mac Acrobat Pro updates and see that there are three  - 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4, and am downloading them for install.
    Do any of the updates fix these problems? Or how can it be fixed?
    On opening document in Reader, I also get a message informing that document cannot be saved with changes and must be printed, even though I've created it with fillable forms.
    Is there some setting for allowing document to be saved?
    I want to be able to have recipient be able to download form, fill it out, save changes, attach to email and return it to me.

    This has been a problem since version 8 on the mac. Acrobat 7 on the mac worked fine with the right side trim but not on the PC.
    We are still having this problem with Acrobat 9.4.0 on the Mac & PC.
    This has now been an issue for 2 versions of Acrobat Pro.(8 & 9)
    Being in Pre Press and having to constantly set the trim for jobs, this is now taking up too much time and costing money.
    Please fix this Adobe.
    and on another note. how hard would it be to display the trim (if set) next to where the page size is?
    If the trim is set it should display it! why should we have to go to document/crop pages>trim.
    Im in a busy Pre Press Dept and the amount of times you have to check a trim size is stupid.
    I always set prefs to display crop / trim / and bleed boxes and this helps but it should display it if its set.
    Thanks
    Hope this is resolved soon.

  • Anchored Objects with text wrap, need vertical space

    Hi.  I'm a fairly new InDesign user and have just this past week learned about anchored objects, threading text frames, numbered lists, and some other fun options. So far InDesign has done most everything I need fairly elegantly. However, I have not been able solve one issue.
    In my book I have numerous pages that have this issue; I'll just describe one case. On this page there are 4 graphics running down the right side of the page. These are not anchored graphics. They do have text wrap defined on the left side and bottom. There is text that wraps lovely on the left.
    Each of these four graphics has a specific paragraph it needs to top align with. However, the text it aligns with may not take up as much vertical space as the graphic does. When I anchor each graphic with the paragraph it needs to align with, the four graphics overlap each other.
    At the moment, to make it look right, I have placed each graphic individually and added a blank paragraph above each paragraph of text that should align with a graphic and use the Space Above of each blank paragraph to have it align with the graphic.
    I'm not even sure what to search to try and solve this. I looked briefly into compound paths, but that didn't look like it would help.
    I hope this is clear and thank you for any assistance at all.
    Andrea

    No problem. Click your cursor somewhere in the paragraph that ought to be aligned with the next image down, then run this Javascript.
    It's not entirely accurate, as it uses the font size to do a minimal adjustment where it actually should use the font's cap height -- but you cannot get to that through scripting. This final adjustment is necessary because ID does know the baseline, and your first line ought to dip just below this to have the top of the first line aligned to the top of the image.
    //DESCRIPTION:Align paragraph with image.
    // Jongware, 15-Jul-2010
    if (app.selection.length == 1 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty ("baseline") && app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].index > 0)
         // find nearest image on the right
         ypos = app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].lines[0].baseline;
         pg = app.selection[0].parentTextFrames[0];
         while (1)
              if (pg instanceof Character)
                   pg = pg.parentTextFrames[0];
              if (pg instanceof Spread || pg instanceof Page)
                   break;
              if (pg instanceof Document || pg instanceof Application)
                   exit(0);
              pg = pg.parent;
         img = pg.allGraphics;
         dist = 999999;
         nearest = null;
         for (i=0; i<img.length; i++)
              if (img[i].geometricBounds[0] > ypos && Math.abs(img[i].geometricBounds[0] - ypos) < dist)
                   dist = Math.abs(img[i].geometricBounds[0] - ypos);
                   nearest = img[i];
         if (nearest == null)
              alert ("no image found nearby!");
         else
              prevm = app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits;
              app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.POINTS;
              top = nearest.geometricBounds[0];
              ypos = app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].lines[0].baseline;
              if (ypos < top)
                   app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].spaceBefore = top-app.selection[0].pointSize-app.selection[0].parentStory.paragraphs.previousItem(app.selection[0].paragraphs[0]).lines[-1].baseline;
              app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = prevm;
    This image shows three paragraphs aligned with their respective images (it won't work on the first paragraph, but that ought not to be necessary anyhoo).

  • I'm having some problem with Text imported from Motion into FCPro

    Hey Everyone.
    I've got an animation that I created in Motion.
    The format for the timeline in Motion is NTSC DV 4:3
    Final Cut has the same attributes to the sequence.
    I have text on my graphic.... Some of it looks great. Some of it does not.
    You can see it here.
    http://www.drewwfilms.com/Temp/McClure/Graphic.html
    The word "Show" looks terrible, where as the other text looks great.
    I do have a filter on the word show... actually it's not even a filter it's just one of the style parameters which is Outline and Face. The outline attribute has a bit of a blur on it.
    Still i would think this would copy over into final cut without and issue but for some reason it looks really bad.
    Anyone have any ideas on this?
    Thanks.

    Your problem stems from the bright red on a dark background. It is particularly noticable on text because it is a uniform color.
    You might have other elements in your movies that use this exact shade and it wiil happen there, but it is less noticable because that element consists of multiple tones and is probably moving.
    Very saturated, bright reds always cause problems in video. It is a limitation of the medium.
    If you want to learn more about this facinating subject, the keywords are *Chroma Rise Time*.
    The solution: desaturate and/or lighten the red, change the color completely or live with it.
    Once I render. I get the pixelation.
    Your Motion clip is being rendered to your NTSC DV Sequence setting which is 1:5 compression.
    The problem with the red is only made worse due to this.
