Inline text boxes - text not available in galley and story view

We have a book with loads of inline text boxes used as captions for inline images. The text in these inline boxes cannot be seen in story or galley view. Is there a way around this?

I think there's a fundamental knowledge gap going on here, not a bug or glitch.
ALL "normal" InDesign (.indd) files will open in InCopy with that message ("Because this document contains no InCopy stories, Galley View and Story View are not available"). That is the expected behavior. They open in InDesign fine, but they open in InCopy with that alert.
This is because without any prior preparation, InDesign files are read-only in InCopy. You can open them in IC, and you can still select text in the stories you see in Layout view, copy and paste that text elsewhere, but you can't edit them. The file is read-only.
With no editable stories, there is nothing for Galley or Story views to show. (They only show editable stories.) Thus the alert.
As Robert said, the designer has to prep the layout first. They have to export content to InCopy format. Doing so creates an external file that's linked to the layout.
Open the .indd file that's giving you trouble ... in either InDesign or InCopy ... and look in its Links panel (Window > Links). Do you see any listings for .incx files in there? If you don't see any, or they're missing, that's the root of the problem.
A detailed explanation of the step-by-step process to making it all work, with screen shots, is in this PDF:

Of course, if you know all this already, my apologies. It's hard to tell sometimes from the posts. If Links does show .incx files and they're not missing or anything, check the the Assignments panel (in either ID or IC). Do you see any stories listed there?

  • Printing from Galley and Story view in InCopy CS2

    Is it possible to print a range of pages when printing from the Galley and story view in InCopy CS2. I'm not able to. I am however able to limit the page range when printing from layout view.
    Thank you for your help.

  • How do I create text flow in Pages 5.1 if text boxes do not link?

    Hi Everyone,
    Is there any way Pages 5.1 enables text to flow between text boxes if the text boxes do not link? Thanks!

    Like I said, Peter, new to the forum. As for the app store I assumed the new version would, if anything, enhance the functionality of older versions. I obviously made the wrong assumption, both there and thinking that Apple might be paying attention to what is going on here. If I seem upset, it's because I just spent a bunch of money on a new system and am slowly discovering the many small ways in which Apple's software (and hardware) is being dumbed down. Seems like now that Jobs is gone and Apple's stock is through the roof, the cost-cutter... I mean stock-inflators are calling the shots.

  • Text boxes are not visible

    Hello. A page in my InDesign document appears to be broken. Text boxes are not visible, they can only mark if I choose command + a. Then I can copy the object and paste into another document in which they appear. You can not delete the page when the crash program. What could be wrong?

    Re text boxes not visible try: View > Screen Mode > Normal.
    It's not a good idea to copy and paste, use Place: File > Place.
    Re your crashing, maybe you should reset your Preferences.

  • Text boxes are not editable?

    Why is it that some text boxes are not editable? can't find were to change it? it can be the same tex tbox that is editable in one file copied to another and there is not editable...

    What exactly did you do step by step?
    Also: which version? which platform?
    Is a clipboard enhancer installed in your system? Or some other enhancement to your system? Like Cocktail for Mac OS?

  • Timing of text box will not appear.  My text boxes stop working on slide 5 and they will not work for the remainder of the slide show.

    Timing of text box not working.  I get the first few slides to work and then on slide 5 my text boxes will not appear.  And they do not appear for the rest of the slide show.   Help anyone.

    Text caption is timed to appear at 2 seconds, but you have a click box at 0sec. Its duration is very short, which means that I cannot see if there is a pause. I suspect this click box is pausing at the end of its timeline, which is at 0.3secs and the Text caption at 2 seconds will not appear before the user has clicked on that click box. The timeline is the core of Captivate, learn at least how to read it.
    Tiny Timeline Tidbits - Captivate blog
    If you want the green text caption 'Click on...' to appear right at the beginning of the slide, you have to check its Timing accordion: set it to start at 0 secs instead of 2 secs and extend its duration to the 'rest of the slide'.
    I don't know what is in the Group. That group and the HIghlight box will disappear at 3 seconds. Or maybe the action that is triggered by the Clickbox is different from 'Continue'?

  • When preview my ibook on IPAD the text on the edge of the text box is not visible.  How do I fix that?

    When I preview my ibod created in Ibook Author on my IPAD some of the text on the edge of the text box is not visible.  How do I fix that?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • On Unix Clinet with Java 1.4.1 plug-in, text boxes are not working

  • What you see is not what you get (gradient fills in text boxes do not reder

    I have a web page that has a lot of text boxes with gradient fills. Some of these render correctly in Safari but many do not. They all look fine in iWeb. I copied one that rendered correctly and the pasted version did not. (the gradient fill did not cover the entire text box) Text boxes with two lines of text seem to have the most problems. Most copied text boxes also have problems.

    Using a shape with a gradient fill and dragging a plain text box on top of it instead of just filling a text box with a gradient fill does work. However, Im not sure the problem is converting my text to an image as the html still has my text inside of tags even with the gradient fill. It seems like iweb should produce web pages that look exactly like what is shown in iweb.
    So my question is not completely answered, but I do have a work around. Thanks

  • SharePoint 2010 : How to display ALL Version History of a list item's multiline text box in a same list as a list view column?

    In SharePoint 2010 , I have version history enabled multiple text box 'issue details'.  Users mainly uses Data Sheet view and it does not show all version history of that multiple line text box, is there anyway we can display list view column in

    Hello, for a multilingual catalog project I would have to know how and with what tool I can place text from Excel or a database in text frames / tables. The basic idea is to provide the text box with an ID (eg << text_eng_art_nr_987654>>) and above to make the connection. Does anyone have a tip. Thanks in advance !!!
    Bernd

    Data merge is really useful in many circumstances, but my first question would be about the size of the project. A really large catalog might be better handled by processing an IDML in some kind of translation memory tool.
    If all of your multilingual content is already in Excel, then it's probably best handled with a Data Merge. Note that you can't save Unicode CSV out of Excel for the merge, so for many languages you'll need to save "Unicode Text" out of Excel and tweak your import settings when you select a Data Source for encoding (Unicode) and delimiter (tab instead of comma).

  • Can't get "true" height of text box (text object) in Photoshop CS4-CS6 on Mac

    I'm seeing this behavior in CS4, CS5 and CS6 on the Mac using AppleScript. When I get the height of a text object layer as such:
         tell app "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
              tell current document
                   set textObjectHeight to height of text object of art layer 1
              end tell
         end tell
    The value returned doesn't match the height of the text object. In my mind the text object is the box that's displayed when I click on text in a text layer with the text tool active. The value for the width appears to match, just as I'd expect.
    I'm trying to get the height and width of the text box (text object) so that I can draw a box "underneath" it on another layer so that one can tell where the text box is. Kind of an FPO-type assistant. I'm currently using the position values and the height and width to create a colored box. I realized that the height isn't exactly right.
    Any help would be great appreciated. I've not explored the use of Javascript thus far, but am open to that as a solution.
    Thanks,
    Stephan

    I tried your code and it works just fine here… I used CS5 to try it… Here is a screen shot… I just put a solid fill layer at the bottom so you can see the guides…

                        {150.0, 100.0}
      get width of text object of art layer 1 of current document
                        800.0
      get height of text object of art layer 1 of current document
                        449.999969482422
      make at end of current document with properties {name:"fill"} new art layer
