Preset text box indents(?)

I'm working with InDesign CS3 and revising an associate's files.  How do I remove a default paragraph indent that seems to be in place with each new text box I create within this file?  Your response is appreciated.

It's in the default paragraph style that's applied automatically to new text boxes.
With nothing at all selected, inspect your Paragraph style panel -- is there a style selected? If so, the indent is in there, and you can select another style as 'default'.
If No Paragraph Style is selected, call up the Paragraph panel and look in the Indent boxes. If there is some other value than "0", delete and replace with "0".

  • Expanding text box in mail stationary

    I am trying to put together a photo newsletter in Mail using the Tack Board template in the stationary. I thought that I would be able to expand the area where the text goes to add more text, but it won't let me type past where the blue box ends. Is this really preset or is there a way to lengthen the box and have more text?
    I was assuming this as the little icon at the top when you are choosing stationary looks like its text box is bigger then the one when you open it.

    Just be aware that e-mail is a very poor transport mechanism for such things. If any of your recipients don't have Apple Mail, they may not see the message the same way you do.

    There is no way to change the template. Those templates are hard-coded with heavy doses of black magic.

    Those are just static icons.

  • Text wrap for a paragraph: How to define the width of a Text box /  active text area? I simply need a longish text to wrap within the frame!

    Hello, I've been searching for a good while in the forums now, but have found no solution or real mention of the problem – I hope some of you can help.
    I want to very simply layout a text between scenes, a slightly longer text that wraps within the frame margins. Here's an example of how I want it to look:
    Now, I couldn't for the life of me get the Custom Text to behave like that, as there are no parameters to set for the width of the text area. The Text Size, yes, along with the Tracking, Baseline and all that, but the width of the text box, no. The above was created by customizing one of the other Text Generator presets that happened to be left aligned.
    However, this preset has a fade in/fade out transition, which I do not want. There's no way to remove this transition as it seems integrated into the Text Generator (meaning they are not really presets, but separate kinds of Text objects? Very silly.)
    So I am asking you: Is there any way to get the Custom Text generator to behave like that? Just a text paragraph as above. Below you'll see all I can manage with the diffferent Custom Text parameters. Any kind of repositioning and resizing of the text just changes the position and size of the frame – but the actual text items are just cropped off where they extend out of that frame. Apparently the bounding box for the text is just some default length, and I can't find any way to adjust the width. See below my different attempts.
    The same text pasted into a Custom Text generator clearly extends outside the frame:
    Here Transform just moves – or resizes – the video frame that the Text Box exists inside:
    The Crop gives similar results, and of course Distort doesn't get me closer to what I need, either. There should be simply a Text Box Width parameter to set somewhere, but if it exists they have hidden it very well. How do you do it?
    Thanks for any help, this is a silly problem, but one of now many trivial problems that amount to me growing quite dissatisfied with FCPX. Hopefully I've just overlooked something.
    All the best,
    Thomas

    Thomas...same kind of crap here.
    I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
    Set to 72 pt.
    The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
    There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
    Using Transform will not sort it!

  • Photoshop: Making a text box with color or border.

    How do you fill a text box in Photoshop?
    Answer: You CAN’T.
    Solution:  You CAN do anything you want in Photoshop -we know it’s GREAT - but the steps are not always so easy.  See below for solutions to making it seem that the text box is filled with color, bordered, semi-tansparent etc.
    In Photoshop, a text box is mostly about the text inside and less about the box that surrounds it.  In other words, the box is always transparent and all effects apply to the font shapes typed inside by the user.  Photoshop (CS4) can produce incredible, professional, amazing text images. No Doubt About It!
    A Photoshop text box can display one of two types of bounding boxes: 
    Its OBJECT bounding box is there for moving the whole text layer, rotating it, duplicating it and distorting.  Clicking once on the text layer pallet and selecting the move tool (v) will produce this bounding box.  The direct selection tool (a) won’t recognize it.  Note:  If you try to resize the box as an object, it also distorts/stretches the text inside.  This can make cool effects but usually you want the text to stay the way the font was designed.  See: Layers>Type>Warp Text.
    The TEXT bounding box is there for highlighting, re-typing and selecting the margins of the actual text/paragraph etc.  Selecting the text tool and clicking over existing text will produce this bounding box.
    Some features are accessible in either mode.
    The Photoshop text tool has two types of cursors:
    The NEW text box cursor looks like a text insertion cursor (often seen in word processing) WITH a dotted box around it.
    To produce the new text box cursor just select the text tool and move over to a new work area.
    The EDIT text cursor looks very much like the ordinary cursor people are familiar with (no dotted box). 
    To produce the edit text tool, hover the text tool over EXISTING text and the cursor changes to the simple insertion shape (without the dotted box).  A click now will put you into text editing mode, not new text box mode.  This drove me batty for a while because I was used to clicking anywhere inside an existing text box and the blinking cursor would pop in automatically - usually at the end of the last letter.  This doesn’t happen in Photoshop; if that NEW text box tool is active, it will try to place a new box anywhere you click sometimes overlapping another.
    When in this mode (edit existing text) you can carefully hover the arrow to the edges of the text box and resize the bounding box without altering the shape of the text itself.  This is how you make the text box larger or smaller to fit/accommodate your needs.  You can also highlight text, insert between words/letters.  Highlighted text is available for changing its font, color, size, cutting/pasting etc. 
    To get OUT of the EDIT text mode, click the check box on the tool column above or type enter (not return) or type cmd-return (MAC), ctrl-return (WIN).  If you want to cancel any changes to an existing text box click the ex-circle on the tool column or press the esc key (top left of keyboard-escape key)
    OK, THE MAIN POINT:
    To make an effect that looks like a text box that is filled, bordered, semi-transparent etc., you will have to create an object shape (box) and place it just behind (under) the text box.  Linking the two allows you to move them around easily.  The drawback is that, when you need a larger box, you’ll have to alter the size of both boxes and possibly re-center them to each other (I know it’s sort of dumb to have so many steps just to get a shaded text box or bordered one.)
    Begin by selecting the Rectangle shape tool and draw a shape on the screen of any size.  In the layers pallet a layer is created with two items (layer thumbnail and vector mask) Double click the one on the left the layer thumbnail).  Change its color to a light one such as baby blue or yellow.
    Now select the text tool and click once over that shape.  A text box is created exactly the same size of the rectangle (any shape will work too).
    Type some text into that box and change the font type, size and color to something you might use regularly.  Check to see that the text color is black (can be changed later).  The text automatically wraps around when you reach the edge of this box and fits well (inside margins can be altered by pixel later).
    Now link the two boxes to one another.  Shift-click each layer in the layers pallet to select both and choose the link button at the bottom of the window for layers or go to Layers>Link Layers.  Now when you move one it will move the other too!
    Using the paragraph tools you can center text, indent first line, and add space between paragraphs.  Except the first paragraph seems too close to the top of the colored rectangle; doesn’t it?  Photoshop won’t add extra leading (horizontal space) between the text box and the top of the first paragraph.
    There are two ways to fix this:
    1.     Select the text tool and click inside the existing text then hover the pointer just above the little box/tab in the top center of that rectangle and bring it down just a bit.
    2.     Or you could unlink the two layers (to unlink just click link again while one of the two layers is selected in pallet) and move the colored rectangle up just a bit.
    In the first instance it was not necessary to unlink the boxes.  This is the advantage because altering the colored rectangle without unlinking will distort your text as will altering the text box if you are not in object text mode (see intro.)
    Ok, some advantages:
    Now that you have this set up you can use the background box (colored rectangle) to make other effects.  Select it as a separate layer but you won’t have to unlink it.  To make the box semi-transparent change either the layer OPACITY or the layer FILL (found in the layer pallet).
    To create a border box:
    1.     Select the colored rectangle box and under Layers>Styles>Blending Options (or just double click in an open area of the layer pallet for that shape.)
    2.     Select Stroke, change:  Fill Type color, Color black, Size 4, Position inside, Blend Mode normal, Opacity 100%. Click OK/Apply
    3.     Back in the layer pallet, change the Fill to 0% and you will just have a border with attached text box.  You may have to alter the inside text box again depending on the thickness of that border especially if you made the Position to be inside to keep the sharpness of the rectangle.
    4.     Yes this will work with other shapes and even custom shapes.  Remember to draw the shape first and immediately place a new text box over it BEFORE any other alteration is done.  This ensures that Photoshop creates a text box exactly the same size/dimension of your chosen shape.  It even makes margins fit irregular shapes like triangles.
    5.     Try it!

  • 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.

  • Regarding text box in selection screen

  • Custom themes: How do I create & edit an auto-text box?

    Hello
    Continuing my exploration of custom themes
    I have now found out how to make text boxes editable (control-command-option-T, that was carefully hidden!) and am now struggling with creating and editing 'auto text' boxes (not sure what their real name is in Keynote-speak)
    1) Creating new text boxes:
    Let's take a simple theme like White. One of the Masters is Title + Bullets Left. Now let's assume I want to create two text boxes with bulllets - the existing on the left and another on the right. In PowerPoint it's pretty simple: highly text box; copy; paste; move & resize as needed. Well Keynote won't let me Copy so that's out. If I create a fresh Text box, I can mimick the indent levels, bullets, font attributes, etc. (long and painful) but it still won't work because it is not a placeholder text box (fixed size) but a regular text box (size depends on content).
    I'm sure I'm missing a trick!
    2) Edit auto-text boxes
    Again, take any theme, say White again; If I choose a Master with a set text placement, say Photo Vertical, there is very little I can do with it: I can change text attributes and box size, but I can't touch the number of indentation levels for example. Then again what defines a text box as been 'double click here to edit' from a regular placeholder?
    Overall I think I'm missing a whole editing 'avenue' regarding masters - Anyone care to guide me?
    Thanks!
    Message was edited by: Moscool - typos!

    You can set a text field to be multi-line and tick off the option to scroll
    long text to have it automatically wrap, but you'll have a problem with the
    first partial line, since form fields can only be rectangular. Another
    problem might be the lines themselves, since you'll have to use a font size
    that will fit them exactly, or it will look odd. I would suggest getting
    rid of those lines altogether. They are not needed when filling in the form
    electronically. It's a relic from printed out forms where people had to
    hand-write their answers.

  • Is there a way to automatically resize the text box to fit the text inside, without using the selection tool to resize the corners in Illustrator and Photoshop?

    I'm wondering if there is a way where I can quickly resize a text box to fit exactly around the text inside, so pretty much the smallest the text box can go without being too small to fit the text? I know you can do this manually with the selection tool, but is there a button/command that automatically does this in one go?
    Thanks

    G'day Owen, & W_J_T.
    Unfortunately your suggestions did not work for me.
    I've tried using the GUI to access the print dialog box, but as usual with Adobe, they've stuffed that up too. What I did find however, that the print dialog box recognised keystrokes, and always defaults to the Printer box when opening.
    Also, the Printer box sets itself to a matching item of whatever key is pressed, and so does the Printer Preset box.
    So, even tho I can't select any given box, provided I have a Printer Preset set, I can access it by the following (slower) method...
    activate
      tell application "System Events" to tell process "Adobe Illustrator"
      keystroke "p" using command down
      keystroke (character 1 of (my theLargePagePrinter as text)) as text
      repeat 17 times
      keystroke tab
      tell current application to delay 0.1
      end repeat
      keystroke (character 1 of (my theLargePagePrinter as text)) as text
      keystroke return
      end tell
    Note that if you have more than one printer or Printer Preset starting with the same letter, then you'll have to use more than just the first character of your printer name.
    Regards

  • How can I align a character exactly flush with the right side of a text box?

    I'd like to automatically align some text so it touches the right side of its text box exactly for all characters ("Optical Margin Alignment" doesn't work). Figure-1 shows the default behavior for right-aligned text. Figure-2 shows what I want it to look like. Since these characters are inputs from a large Data Merge, manually adjusting each instance is not a practical solution.
    Selecting the "Align Left Edge" checkbox in "Drop Caps and Nested Styles" is exactly the kind of behavior I'm looking for, except it needs to be the "Right Edge" not the "Left Edge".
         Figure-1: This is the default behavior for right-aligned text.
         Figure-2: The is what I want the result to look like.

    Rob, thanks for the link with the thread. At least I know I'm not missing some obvious function somewhere.
    Olfar, I follow what you did with "Indent to Here" and the Hair Space, and I understand how to use tracking to manually align the second line, but I don't know much about grep styles, so I didn't follow that part. Does the technique you used work for all characters? For instance, if you replaced the "1" with a "7", would it automatically align the rightmost part of the "7" with the "N"? Also, I need something that works with double digit numbers, and I don't think the Hair-Space-and-Tracking trick is going to work in those cases, but I could be wrong.
    Thanks.

  • Can you place keyword headings outside the left margin without resorting to using text boxes?

    I want to place different keyword headings outside the margins of my document. Is there a way I can do this without resorting to textboxes?

    Hi Eli,
    You cannot place text outside the document margins without placing that text into a shape or a text box. Objects, including text boxes and the text they contain, may be placed outside the margins.
    Jerry's solution involves moving the left document margin closer to the edge of the table. As you've seen, doing so also adds cmplications to managing text behaviour on the left side of the page.
    Here's a variation on Jerry's suggestion that may be easier to manage:
    In the Document Inspector, set the left margin to the position at which you want the keyword headings to begin. (0.5")
    In the Layout Inspector, set the left margin to make the document margin + this layout margin equal to the position you want for the 'regular' margin fo the body of your document. (0.5" to give the default 1" body margin).
    Assuming there is text before the first Keywordheading:
    Click immediately after that text, press return to insert a paragraph break, then go Insert > Layout Break to insert a Layout break.
    Type the single 'word' "Keywordheading" (without the quotes, and with no spaces), followed by a return, then go Insert > Layout Break to insert a second layout break.
    Double click Keywordheading to select it.
    Apply any formatting you want (I used a two point larger font size and Bold) for the heading.
    In the Layout inspector, set the left margin to zero.
    You now have a 'master copy' for your keyword heading, which can be copied, then pasted to each location you want this type of heading to appear.
    Select the first Layout Break, the line with 'Keywordheading', and the second Layout break, as shown in the image.
    Copy.
    Click immediately after the text preceding the next Keyword heading.
    Press return, then Paste.
    Repeat as needed.
    If you have alrady entered the text for these headings, you can use these steps to move them into the keyword heading spaces:
    For each heading:
    Select the words that make up the heading. Cut (command-X)
    Doubleclick 'Keywordheading'. Go Edit > Paste and Match Style.
    Repeat for next heading.
    If you have not yet entered the text for these headings:
    Doubleclick 'Keywordheading' to select it.
    Type the heading.
    Repeat.
    Note that after inserting these heaings, you can copy the three lines (Layout break, word(s)&return, Layout break) of any of them, then replace the text of that heading with the text of a new heading.
    Within the indented parts between headings, bulleted lists will behave normally.

  • Using Rich Text Formatting Tools for Email Message Text Box in  Webdynpro.

    Hi All,
    I would like to know whether WebDynpro provides a feature of including the Rich Text Formatting Tools (like Font, FontSize, Spell check .....) inside a Text Box.
    I need to allow the user to format/indent text inside the Email message box, before sending the Email.
    Is ABAP/Java Webdynpro providing us the above feature currently?
    Thanks for your time.
    Regards,
    Madhavi.

    Hi Armin,
    Thanks for your quick reply. Are there any release dates for when NWDS 7.1 be available?
    Thanks,

  • Tab resets left margin in Text Box.  Is there a setting to prevent this?

    When I go back to edit text in a text box and want to add something to the end of a line, I press tab and the entire line indents as if I had pressed tab at the beginning of the line instead of the end.  Is this normal?

    Yes this is normal.
    Use alt tab to enter a tab stop, you may also want to use left indent formatting for the tab to correctly
    ( Inspector > Text > Alignment;   and  click the left indent button)

  • Expand Text Box? "Advanced" text options not hidden?

    The title text box/editor is very small in the 10.2 update.  It's just big enough for 2 lines of text.  I find it fairly inconvenient to have it so small (I am referring to the text box in the inspector).  I'm guessing there is no way to expand this to fit more lines of text in, but if anyone knows how that'd be sweet! Otherwise I'm just crossing my fingers it gets a quick update since I'm using it every day for work.
    Also, the "advanced" tab always being collapsed in the basic text editing tools is annoying, too.  I use this every time I make a title(which I'm making two videos a day, so it's a little more tedious now after the update).  Personally, for a professional program I would consider the options in the "advanced" section to actually be basic and fairly necessary...based on how I use it, so maybe I'm not a normal case.
    Nothing is broken, just less convenient...
    Thanks y'all!

    That is a wonderful idea if I could find where to do that (maybe another feedback will be to make finding the feedback area easier (: ). Where can I find the feedback area?  Thanks for the quick reply as well!
