Removing overset text in empty table rows (InDesign CS5.5)

I have some overset text in a table that appears to be empty rows.  I've opened story editor so I can remove the text, but I can't select the area that's overset (the red lines).  How does one remove this overset stuff if you can't select it.

Have you tried adjusting the height of the row to reveal the over set text?
Or try placing your cursor in the cell in question and just hit the delete key...Sometimes invisible characters like column break can be accidently added.
Or perhaps, highlighting the entire row and hit the backspace key.

  • Bullet problem when creating text frames and tables in InDesign CS5

    Every time I create a new text frame or table in InDesign CS5 and paste information there, the first row in the table or several lines of text come out with bullet points. I'm sure this is a setting or style at some point I created and now am unsure of how to delete. I would like the new text frames and tables to not include bullet points as a default when imported or pasted. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Defaults for text in the current document are made with no text selected. Turn off bullets and they should stay off (but check the styles, too, you might have accidentally set a bulleted style as the defualt and you should change the default style instead). If this is happening in all files, you need to do it with nothing open to reset the default for all new documents (existing files, unfortunately, need to be fixed one at a time).

  • Check for empty table row before adding date

    On the form below, when I click the green + button (far right), a new table row is created with today's date. the user can then enter more text to the right of the date. Problem is when the form is saved and reopened, the text the user enters is deleted and new today's date added because it is in the intialize event. How do I script to check and make sure each dated row is empty before adding today's date?

    Thanks,
    ~Don

    Hi Don,
    One option would be to use the caption area of the textfield for the date and leave the value portion free for the user to input their data:
    if (xfa.resolveNode("this.caption.value.#text").value === "") {
              this.caption.value.text = util.printd("[mm/dd/yy] ", new Date() );
    See here: https://acrobat.com/#d=VjJ-YsXLKmV6QU84JrAAIw.
    Hope that helps,

  • How can I change the import options for an Excel table in InDesign CS5.5?

    Hi,
    I have a problem with an InDesign script that works this way in ID CS4 and ID CS5, but stops working in ID CS5.5.
    What the script should do, is to change the import preferences for a table saved in an Excel file so that I can place an unformatted table into a new textFrame in my InDesign document. The Excel document is an .xlsx-File.
    function setExcelImportPrefs() {
        with (app.excelImportPreferences) {
             app.excelImportPreferences.tableFormatting = TableFormattingOptions.excelUnformattedTable;
    What the script does (or at least seems to do) is: nothing. The table that is placed into the textFrame by the script is always formatted, as this seems to be the standard preference of InDesign CS5.5 for importing tables out of excel files.
    Does anybody have a hint for me how to make the script work in ID CS5.5?

    Okay, now it is working. I had to save the XLSX-file into the older XLS format, but that seems to work quite well.
    But I won't ever understand why InDesign loses its backward compatibility from one version to the other.
    Thank you, -hans-.

  • How to delete empty table row in the form using formcalc

    Hi All,
    I am displaying a table in PDF which has a few empty rows in between.  I need to delete those specific rows when the form is generated, so that they do not appear on the form.
    Has anyone worked on this before? If so, can you please share the code or advise.
    Regards
    Aditi

    Hello,
    first: there MUST be same backend you get the data from right? So in this backend there is some data extraction coding, right? So the result of this coding is bad, like some unwanted extra rows are returned in the proper set of rows, right? So why don´t you change this backend coding not to return the unwanted rows?
    IF that is not possible (I don´t believe this!), but just to describe other possibilities, you can place a script on the row subform event like initialize and test if there is something missing there and if so, set the presence of such a row to hidden.
    JS: If (this.fieldA.rowValue == "") { this.presence = "hidden"; }

  • Report Generation: linebreak text in Word table row

    Hello everybody.
    Im trying to add some pretty tables to my Word report created with the Report Generation Toolkit.
    I build my 2d string array with the table data and that works fine. But if I add a text to the array cell that has a linebreak constant it breaks the table. I.e my strings is not in the right place and some are missing in the table if linebreaks exists in the strings in the 2d string array that I feed to the 'Word Easy Table' VI. Se my lw 7.1 example below.
    Any one have an ide how to solve this?

    Paul,
    You last response got me think about the complex nested grouping of my for loops that are surrounding and embedded in my table(s). I analyzed my groupings and found that two of my levels had similiar values. When I moved those groupings outside my table, the 3 TOC entries FINALLY appeared !!! Newbie error!!! Anyway, the only problem left to resolve is the page number is not generating with the TOC entries (Getting Bookmark Not Defined Problem). I am wondering if this is a context problem ...or still part of a looping problem. I also can't seem to get the table headers to replicate on page breaks in RTF mode. They do work in PDF generation mode. It is sort of difficult to pass info because I nature of the info I am working with. Thanks for your time and patience. I have learned alot just trying to get this complex template to work.
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • How to copy Chinese text from MS Word to Indesign CS5.5

    Hello, I am a beginner and wanted to simply copy Chinese characters from MS WOrd to indesign CS 5.5. But it showed up in indesign as a bunch of squares. ANyone knows how to do it right? Thanks

    If you cannot find any of these, the InDesign installation disk comes with a bunch of free high quality fonts, courtesy of Adobe.
    Use those.
    The chances are quite small that you will offend your Chinese readership by setting text in an overtly Japanese font like Mincho or Kozuka - but the chance is a non-zero chance. All the right glyphs are there, of course (thank you Unihan), but typographic standards differ between the two languages, and there's no sense in taking the risk.
    Ah -- apologies! Wait, let me check my ID ... I got
    * Apple LiGothic, Apple LiSung (installed by default on OS X)
    * BiauKai (umm, don't know)
    * Adobe Fan Heiti
    * STHeiti
    * LiHei Pro
    * LiSong Pro
    * Adobe Ming Std
    * Adobe Fangsong Std
    * GB18030Bitmap (exactly what it says: a bitmap font, and you can use it in InDesign! A bad idea...)
    * Hei
    * Heiti SC
    * Adobe Heiti Std
    * Hiragino Sans GB
    * Kai
    * Adobe Kaiti Std
    * Adobe Song Std
    .. and yet even more. If you are working on Windows, you get a couple of "MS Xxx" fonts as well, and in that case you are definitely better off with Adobe's set.
    I must admit I only see the difference because Japanese fonts usually do not include a "full" set of glyphs (at least, not the "usual" 3,000 to 10,000). Joel, care to point out some tell-tale glyph forms?

  • Inline tables in indesign cs5.5 - line break

    Is it possible to create a table (in this case, a table with boxes and hyphens for someone to write their SS#) and have it inline along with other copy? I have tried to accomplish this in several different ways and it seems that the table needs to be on its own line. is that true? thx.

    somehow, its now working, just as i thought it should have worked. thx anyways!

  • How do I save image and text as a single image in InDesign CS5.0?

    How do I save an image and text as one image in InDesign CS5.0? NOT 5.5.
    I need to save the image as a 72-dpi, jpg file for ePub purposes. I designed a book and am handing it off to someone for ePub.
    This is what I've tried:
    1) Copied from InDesign, pasted into a PhotoShop doc as a Smart Object. Saved it as 72 dpi jpg, then imported back into ID.
    2) Took a screenshot of ID page, placed it in PS, saved as 72 dpi, imported into ID
    3) Saved page as a PDF from InDesign, then saved PDF as 72 dpi jpg, then imported into ID.
    4) Save page as a PDF from InDesign, placed into Photoshop and saved
    as 72 dpi, then imported into ID.
    5) Saved as an EPS from InDesign, placed in PS, then imported back to ID.
    In all cases, the type looks terrible. It doesn't seem to matter whether I copy or place into Photoshop, though placing is slightly better.
    HELP!!!

    In all cases, the type looks terrible. It doesn't seem to matter whether I copy or place into Photoshop, though placing is slightly better.
    Naturally what you did will result in rasterized text. Did you preview with high quality settings?
    Are you sure the people who will handle that downstream need pixel images and do you have the exact pixel dimensions needed?
    Why did you place the image back in Indesign, by the way? 

  • Probelm with InDesign CS5 table resize

    I am having problems resizing tables in InDesign CS5.
    The width can be in- and decreased, however the height just won't move up nor down when pulling in the lower right corner nor anywhere else on the columns baseline.
    Anybody else having this problem?
    Is it a bug or maybe just me not understanding things correctly in the help section...?
    Any input is appreciated so knock yourselves out. :-)

    Hey again!
    I figured it out. Just made a complete new document and tried again.
    This time everything works as it's supposed to.
    I assume the problem has something to do with the fact that I overtook the job I am currently working on from a colleague and thus there was some form for corruption or similar.
    At least when starting from a fresh it's all working fine again.
    But you just gave me the idea to check this possibility so I rated your answer as helpful.
    However I have no clue what to do with the old document in order to change that. I guess it's one of those InDesign mysteries that so often occur but I also assume that copying and pasting will be sort of a solution..., well here and now at least.
    So unless you know what could be the reason for the corruption I'll thank you very much for your time and kind help.

  • Newbie--AppleScript for InDesign CS5 help needed

    How can I select a page number in a table (a text string as a Source) and have an AppleScript read that text string and convert it to an integer value?
    I have to put over 1,200 hyperlinks into a document that already has page numbers in tables. Each page number (Source) will be assigned a hyperlink to go to that page (Destination).
    The page numbers in tables are in the preface to my document, which is 44 pages in length.
    The actual pages in the main body of my document are numbered 1-432. Thus, the 45th page in the document is Page 1 to the person reading it, and the 476th page is Page 432.
    So if a table in my preface has a page number of 32, for instance, the actual page number I want as a Destination is 32 + 44, or page 76.
    If I manually double-click to select the text of a number "x" in a table as a Source, I want to write a script that when invoked will
    • read the text string I have selected
    • convert it to an integer value equal to the number in the text string
    • add 44 to that value
    • create a hyperlink that goes to the destination page number that corresponds to that value
    Thanks.

    Something like this, then:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5"

    if (count documents) is greater than 0 then

    if (count mySelection) is equal to 1 then
    tell document 1
    --Is the selection a text selection?
    if class of item 1 of mySelection is in myTextObjects then
    set myText to item 1 of mySelection
    try
    set myErrorString to "Selection already contains a hyperlink text source."
    --Create the hyperlink text source.
    set myHyperlinkTextSource to make hyperlink text source with properties {source text:myText}
    set myPageNumber to item 1 of mySelection as integer
    set myPageNumber to myPageNumber + 44
    set myErrorString to "Could not get page number."
    set myPage to page myPageNumber
    set myErrorString to "Could not create hyperlink page destination."
    --Create they hyperlink page destination.
    set myHyperlinkPageDestination to make hyperlink page destination with properties {destination page:myPage}
    set view percentage of myHyperlinkPageDestination to 100
    --Now use the source and the destination to create the hyperlink.
    set myErrorString to "Could not create hyperlink."
    set myHyperlink to make hyperlink with properties {source:myHyperlinkTextSource, destination:myHyperlinkPageDestination}

  • How can I find overset text in a InDesign table and locate the page?

    I am currently using CC but see the same issue in CS5 as well. If text within a table is overset or cannot be displayed, I can use search/replace for a term that I know is in an affected cell, however InDesign will find the first instance but will not automatically navigate to the page. Instead it remains on whatever page I happened to be on.
