Text Wrap Menu Missing

My text wrap menu does not show up as a choice under the Windows tab.  Does anyone know how to get it?

Should be here. If missing try resetting your preferences.
Though this is Mac, PC location should be same

  • Turn Off Automatic Text Wrap in Pages?

    It's far from the biggest flaw in Pages, but is there any way of making "no text wrap" the default for inserted objects rather than "Automatic"? Due to the nature of the materials I produce I almost never want text wrap, yet every time I insert an object I have to make a trip to the Inspector, click the "Arrange" button, select the drop down menu and select "None". Surely there must be some way - a preference option I've missed - of obviating this time-wasting process.

    Apple is not even supporting Pages 5 as it did, so good luck with that.
    Pages 5.5.2 only works on Yosemite.
    Pages '09 works on everything from Snow Leopard to Yosemite.
    Then there is the little matter of functionality, Pages 5.5.2 is still missing over 100 features that are in Pages '09 and Apple keeps changing its file format. Try synching that, let alone even moving files, across even 2 versions of OS X let alone iOS 7 or PCs.
    Wishin' 'n Prayin' hasn't got users very far with Pages 5, and it has been out now 16 months.

  • Text Wrap not working

    I thought to create a text wrap you simply created a polygonal shape, selected it, and chose "Text Wrap" from the Options menu.
    In a new draw document, I am creating a text frame, filling it with text, creating a polygon, and with it selected choosing "Text wrap" > "Irregular," but the text does not wrap.

    Hi Timothy,
    Click on the text frame to select it, then go Options > Frame Links
    Wrap in Draw documents will work only if the text is in a frame to which Frame linking has been applied. It's not necessary that the frame be actually linked to a second frame.

  • Text Wrap Contour Options Not Available in CS6

    So I just started using CS6, and I know from CS5 that there used to be the "Dectect Edges" option when trying to do a text wrap around an object shape. Every time I try to text wrap like this in CS6, the "contour options" menu is "greyed out," and I can't adjust my text wrap. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have a screen shot below. It is happening in all of my CS6 documents, around PSDs and objects created in InDesign.

    In your screen shot you have the text frame selected. That would disable the contour options. You want to select the object that you want the text to wrap around, not the frame that holds the text you want to wrap.

  • Can the text wrap tool options be reinstated?

    I may have inadvertenly hit some keyboard code to remove the options, though I certainly don't remember doing so. There are no options displayed at all, only a box that can be checked or unchecked to use the text wrap on the master pages only. I have tried it both ways, and checked the master pages for possible boxes, but there is nothing. Has anyone else ever encountered this? I appreciate your help! Thanks so much -

    What version of ID are you using? What OS?
    Your description is a littel vague but it sounds like you've opened the Text Wrap panel flyout menu and all you see is the option to limit wrap on a master page object to other text on the master page. Is the panel itself blank?

  • Text wrap around an achored object

    I'm continually frustrated by a text wrap issue around an achored object in a story. I have two anchored textframes that are taking up the top half of a text frame, one of them has a full column text wrap applied to it which forces the first title of the regular text to begin beneath it.  My issue is that sometimes this title falls too close to the anchored text frames but if I add space to the bottom of the text wrap, the title does not snug to the text wrap but will stay tight until the wrap adjustment invades the cap height and then it will suddenly jump way down what looks like the full line height of the style, creating way too much of a gap. I can't seem to get a clean even space between my anchored textframe and the first line of text. I'm doing hundreds of files with this set up and they are looking different because the anchored text frames are all different sizes and I can't get that space between them and the first title to be uniform.  I'm sure I'm missing an option somewhere, but I can't figure out what it is. I want the first line of text to snug up to the edge of the text wrap, and it just won't do it. I've looked through all my style options and can't figure out what I'm missing.  "Align to grid" is set to "None," and "Start Paragraph" is set to "Anywhere."
    I'm really confused by this. Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong or if I've run up against a limitation in the application?
    I'm using CS5 on a Mac 10.5.8

    Sorry Grant,
    Your "solution" does not work in this instance. The boxes you see in my image are the first things on that page. The anchor paragraphs are set to start in a new column so that they purposely start a new page. The story starts 3 pages before this and you can't have anchored objects more than a spread away from their anchors, so your solution simply does not work. I would have to break my lesson into multiple stories, which is the very thing I'm trying not to do to keep my workflow efficient.
    It looks like it is a limitation of ID's anchored object workflow (which has never been ideal, but I'm trying to work with it). Unfortunately, tables are also not a safe solution because long tables used together with span/split column features cause ID to crash (predictably)--as far as I can tell, Adobe doesn't appear to be interested in fixing this bug. I've learned the hardway not to combine them in any workflow unless I want to restart ID multiple times a day.
    In case you are wondering, this complicated workflow resulted from a shortcoming in ID anyway. I have to place the text in table cells so that I can use the SIde Heads plugin to pull them automatically into anchored objects. I have to anchor them into floating objects to get the rounded corners on background squares that is BEHIND the text. I could do it as tables in the flow of text if I could create anchored backgrounds with rounded corners that floated behind the tables, but unfortunately, ID will not let you change the stacking order of anchored objects--they always float in front and there is no option to push them behind--and tables are uniformly square and boring. I tried several times to create an easily automatable workflow for this project, and complicated as it is, this is the only one that actually works.    
    I will have to manually adjust the paragraph spacing and leading. That seems to be only adjustment that gives me the fine control that I want. I just wish it were consistent from document to document so I could set it in the style and not have to eyeball everything.

  • CS4 Text Wrap issue - HELP!

    HELP!  I taught myself PageMaker 6.5 and I got REALLY good at the basics, but not so great at the in-depth things.  Consequently, when I upgraded to InDesign CS4, the same holds true, so please feel free to treat me like a 2-year-old in your explanations.  Now for my dilemma:
    I create a quarterly magazine.  Most of the pages are 2- or 3-column spreads.  Many times, a photograph (and its caption) will span more than just one column, but not necessarily the entire width of two.  In other words, my photo could span all of column 1 and 1/2 of column 2, with the text flowing to the right of the photograph, then expanding to fill all of column no. 2 beneath it.  In PageMaker, when I text-wrapped around the pic, leaving enough bottom text wrap to insert my captioning, the text would wrap perfectly, keeping the text in perfect alignment horizontally across the columns.  That, in turn, kept the bottom edge of all my columns exactly equal. 
    In InDesign, however, that's not the case. The text doesn't align equally horizontally across the columns, hence ruining my clean horizontal text margin at the bottom.  This happens any time I have a photo that spans all of one and part of one (or two, in the case of a centered photograph) column.  In fact, even if I place a photo that fits within just one column, the horizontal text alignment gets screwed up.  I'm attaching a .pdf of page 35 of the issue I'm working on to show you what I mean.
    I've tried choosing all three columns and clicking the "align top edges," but that just drags all three columns up to the 1/2 inch margin at the top of the page, and my text actually starts 1/4" beneath that (3/4" from the top page edge) because of the page numbering, and when I drag all three columns back down to the 3/4" mark, the wrapping gets all screwed up again.  So I tried "align bottom edges," and that didn't work either (it worked to a point... anything that actually had text flowing to the bottom of the column was fine, the same thing occurred then above the column with a photo spanning all of it.  Geez, I'm confused just trying to explain it.  Hopefully, the attached .pdf will help make sense of this.  
    Consequently, I'm moving columns manually for this issue (all 60 pages of it), because it has to be at the printers by the end of the weekend and I'm just plain out of time.  If anyone can give me some guidance so I don't have to do this again next time, I'd really appreciate it.
    You can email me at [email protected] if you have any ideas. Thanks for your help.

    Thanks so much to both Peter and Bob.  I'm sure this will fix the problem.  At least I know it wasn't something I was doing wrong and it really is a glitch in the program.  I'll play with the baseline grid, since it seems that will be the best option. I have a few months to experiment with it before the next issue goes to press.
    Does setting a preference act like a default?  In other words, will it then apply to all pages in all new documents I create or is it specific to the document in which I'm working when I set it? If the latter, I'm guessing I can just include it when I set up my master page so it will apply throughout the issue?  Which, of course brings me to yet another question: how do I save my Master Pages so I don't have to redo them with each issue?
    I'm finding that the majority of InDesign is a lot more user-friendly and easier to navigate than the old PageMaker -- many fewer steps for the same end result.  I hope to take a class if I can find one in my area, because I'm certain I'm doing many things the "hard way."  Learning as you go is okay, but you miss a lot of the finer points along the way and spend entirely too much time trying to figure things out or bugging people like you in this forum.
    I apologize if some of what I ask seems rather elementary. 
    And Scott, sorry, but I've always felt that, out of all the fonts available, Comic Sans is the most readable.

  • Text Wrap disappeared in ID CS5

    Using InDesign CS5, recently the text wrap option entirely disappeared from the tools menu, as did any response to using a keyboard combination to make the dialog box appear. Also, reloading the program from the disks fails due to "too many errors." Using Windows 7 pro. Help!

    What is preventing you from doing the reinstall?
    You should know, though, that it won't replace the prefs unless you specifically choose to do so during the uninstall operation.

  • Text Wrap Feature Suddenly Disappeared

    I've been using InDesign for years and years. I currently have CS5. Suddenly, the text wrap feature was completely missing from InDesign. This feature was always something that I used almost on a daily basis- suddenly it jsut disappeared! I tried several things to make it come back, including the simple keyboard shortcut, but nothing worked. I talked to someone with Adobe and after they gave me several things to do in InDesign which didn't help bring the feature back, they said that they think that the text wrap feature's file must have gotten damaged somehow and I should uninstall and reinstall indesign. This is on my work computer and my company bought me the creative suite years ago, and i'm not sure where all the license info and all that is.
    So my question is, does anyone else know a solution to this problem? Or do you think my best bet is to just uninstall and reinstall it? And will i have any issues doing this, since I don't have any of the serial numbers or anything from the original purchase? Thanks SO much for your help!

    They had me delete the english preferences file (it's explained in the link that Salah Fadlabi provided in the first post.) I'll try to create a new user on the computer real fast. This is for my work computer (I use InDesign almost every day to create marketing materials) and I'm leaving work in 40 minutes. I'll try to do this real fast and then report back here. Thanks for your help

  • Text wrap option not working..

    Lately I have not been able to use the Text Wrap function in CS3. I feel like it's worked up until recently, but now when I open the Text Wrap window there are no options listed - it's just a blank gray box. When I click on the dropdown menu on the top right, the only two grayed-out options are "Show Options" and "Apply to Master Page Only".
    I tried selecting an object first to create the text wrap, selecting the text box, rearranging the objects, but nothing appears.
    Any idea why this might be happening or what I am doing wrong?

  • Text Wrap option not showing up

    I am trying to text wrap, but the option is not available in
    Windows>text wrap.
    Am I missing something?

    Do you mean warp text?
    With the type tool selected look at the tool options bar.
    You can also get the same warp options for non text layers under Edit>Transform>Warp.
    If you want the text options other than what's in the tool options bar:
    Window>Character and Window>Paragraph

  • Text wrapping buttons no longer appear in Pages 4.1

    When a movable object is selected in Pages, the relevant toolbar appears. When the Text Wrapping button is clicked, however, the drop-down menu is blank:
    I tried this in multiple documents and the same thing happened.
    The text wrapping tools still work, but it is impossible to tell between them except through trial-and-error.
    I just updated iWork to 9.1 (Pages 4.1) and that's when it started happening.
    Is this just a glitch in the new version or can I do something to fix it? Has anyone else seen this?
    Thanks for any help!

    Apple removed colors from most of the system windows .
    For instance, there is no longer color for the circular buttons at left top of windows
    They didn't change the GUI in some applications. It seems that this apply to apps which must be able to run in Snow Leopard as well as in Lion.
    Removing the colors in rev 9.1.0 would have introduced inconsistency in Snow Leopard in which iWork '09 will be 'frozen' soon.
    Keeping them introduce an inconsistency in Lion but, as you know, I guess that next major version of iWork will be Lion only, I guess that colors will be removed in this one. So the inconsistency will disapear.

  • Best-practice for use of object styles to manage image text wrap issues when aiming at both print and EPUB output?

    I have a work-flow question about object styles, text-wrap, and preparing a long document with lots of images for dual print/EPUB output in InDesign CC 2014.
    I am sort of experienced with InDesign but new to EPUB export. I have hundreds of pages and hundreds of images so I'd like to make my EPUB learning curve, in particular, less painful.
    Let me talk you through what I'm planning and you tell me if it's stupid.
    It's kind of a storybook-look I'm going for. Single column of text (6" by 9" page) with lots of small-to-medium images on the page (one or two images per page), and the text flowing around, sometimes right, sometimes left. Sometimes around the bounding box, sometimes following the edges of the images. So in each case I'm looking to tweak image size and placement and wrap settings so that the image is as close to the relevant text as possible and the layout isn't all wonky. Lovely print page the goal. Lots of fussy trade-offs and deciding what looks best. Inevitably, this will entail local overrides of paragraph styles. So what I want to do, I guess, is get the images as closely placed as possible, before I do any of that overriding. Then I divide my production line.
    1) I set aside the uniformly-styled doc for later EPUB export. (This is wise, right? Start for EPUB export with a doc with pristine styles?)
    2) With the EPUB-bound version set aside, I finish preparing the print side, making all my little tweaks. So many pages, so many images. So many little nudges. If I go back and nudge something at the beginning everything shifts a little. It's broken up into lots of separate stories, but still ... there is no way to make this non-tedious. But what is best practice? I'm basically just doing it by hand, eyeballing it and dropping an inline anchor to some close bit of text in case of some storm, i.e. if there's a major text change my image will still be almost where it belongs. Try to get the early bits right so that I don't have to go back and change them and then mess up stuff later. Object styles don't really help me with that. Do they? I haven't found a good use for them at this stage (Obviously if I had to draw a pink line around each image, or whatever, I'd use object styles for that.)
    Now let me shift back to EPUB. Clearly I need object styles to prepare for export. I'm planning to make a left float style and a right float style and a couple of others for other cases. And I'm basically going to go through the whole doc selecting each image and styling it in whatever way seems likeliest. At this point I will change the inline anchors to above line or custom, since I'm told EPUB doesn't like the inline ones.
    I guess maybe it comes down to this. I realize I have to use object styles for images for EPUB, but for print, manual placement - to make it look just right - and an inline anchor seems best? I sort of feel like if I'm going to bother to use object styles for EPUB I should also use them for print, but maybe that's just not necessary? It feels inefficient to make so many inline anchors and then trade them for a custom thing just for EPUB. But two different outputs means two different workflows. Sometimes you just have to do it twice.
    Does this make sense? What am I missing, before I waste dozens of hours doing it wrong?

    I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum for best results.

  • Type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?

    Indesign CS3: type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?
    is this true? or do I have a setting that I'm missing?
    thanks.

    Seems that it does, and in CS4 as well.
    What are you doing with type on a path that requires it to honor wrap? Could you do it by cutting the path and threading?

  • Applying a text wrap

    Well, I'm a newby (so appologies)... I've followed the steps to do a text wrap in the document I'm creating, but I don't see how to apply it once I've selected it in In Design.

    Thanks in advance!

    Text wrap panel?
    I guess I did not include enough context: I'm using a Que tech manual and am
    attempting to do some basic layout. I have created text frame and a graphic
    frame I want the text to wrap around. I laid the text frame over the graphic
    frame and then went to the window menu and clicked on text wrap... selected
    bounding box, selected invert (all according to Que), but then what??? I do
    not see an apply control or button that makes the text wrap. This is what
    I'm confused about... what to do to make the text wrap.
    Thanks!
