Adding Overset Text in Separate Area

Hello,
I have a paragraph of text I am trying to add to separate lines. How can I add overset text into a new area? I know this is possible in InDesign... Thanks!

Syntax for identifying Area Text which has overset text

Is there a way to identify if the Area Text box has overset text using Applescript? if yes, can some one let me know the syntax please.
Thanks in advance

Hey Carlos,
Thanks for pointing me to the right post which has given me some solution. Though there is no direct method, solution given in the post really helped me out.
set testLength to length of lines of text frame 1 of document 1
Above AS statement will only count characters that are visible, this does not include overflowed characters.
Thanks to Ten A for the work around.

Overset text will not go into the text box that is part of the master for the next page

I am trying to (first time user) set up a simple trade-paperback sized book with some photos. Have set up several masters for chapter title pages, chapter inner pages, etc. When I copy text out of Word into InDesign, (copy/paste) the text overset box appears. I load it, then go to the next page, which I have already formatted using one of the masters. But when I select the desired text box ((Ctrl/shft) and click, the overset text forms a new text box, What am I doing wrong? thanks

I have done, this did work right for at least the left side of the spread, but never for the right side -
Make sure the left and right page master page text frames are threaded View>Extras>Show Text Threads. Here I have left and right page text boxes threaded on my A-master spread:
Checking Smart Text Reflow can make adding long text to master frames easier:
With Smart Text Reflow enabled I've released the master page text box on page 1, note the released frame has a solid border, while the unreleased master page frames on subsequent pages are dotted indicating they are still master page items and not page items.
The result of the paste:

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.

Can't get overset text to appear in frame [CS6]

I am at the very end of a story, using my standard text styles, and yet whatever I try, I cannot get the last paragraph to appear on the last page of the document. It is tagged as overset in the SE and triggers the usual error.
This document is part of a book. The text frame takes up the entire page — plenty of room for a headline style and one paragraph.
"Keep" options are all unchecked.
What else should I be looking for?
thanks

You should also check in story editor to be sure that the first line of overset text is not "unbreakable" for some reason -- No Break applied to a lot of text, Hyphantion turned off and the use of non-breaking spaces -- or that the format is realistic -- I've seen cases where left and riht indents added together were wider than the column or the text size was too large for even a single word to fit.

Text messages ringtones are not working in the Storm Two

Device: Storm Two running OS version 5.0.0.713 on the Verizon Wireless network.
Recently, I upgraded from a Storm One to a Storm Two because of a multitude of issues with the Storm One; not enough memory, constant lock-ups; dropped calls, etc. On the Storm One I had customer ringtones for contacts; so when a contact calls me the phone will sound a specific ringtone for that contact; the same for text messages from that contact. Now that I have the Storm Two the text message tones for the contacts are not working. In fact, even when I select a ringtone for text messages for a contact the phone will ring the generic ringtone that comes with the phone. If I go into the sound profile and change the generic ringtone to one of my own and the contact sends me a text/sms message the phone will ring the ringtone that I selected in the profile that is being used at the time. This is not the way it worked on the Storm One. On the Storm One; if I have a specific ringtone for the contact and that contact sends me a text message it will sound the text messages tone for that contact. These ringtones have worked for previous devices including my Treo and Palm devices. The ringtone files worked well in the previous Storm One.
So to make a long story short; I want to know why my text message ringtones are not working as designed/setup-up. If a contact calls me the phone will sound the ringtone for that contact; but if that same contact text me it will not ring the ringtone for the contact. This is annoying and I am at my wits end trying to find out why this is not working.

Hi Jain....
Field separator is for separating the fields.That means it will effect every field in the node.
But end separator is not like that.It will apply at the end ofall fields of a node.It will effect node not a field.
according to ur scenario if u use data.endseparator 'nl',output will come like this
2008/0701$101
2008/0701$102
2008/0701$103
2008/0702$105
if u want new line for every field try to insert a separate node for second field.That means
MT_DATATYPE:
Data -
1:UnBounded
. .OrderDate----
1:1
<Data2> 1:1
. ....OrderNo -
1:1
now give data.endseparator 'nl'
data2.endseparator 'nl'
if possible try like this....

False Overset Text in Links Panel

Mac OX 10.6.4
CS5
This is the problem I'm encountering: When I export to .pdf, Indesign Crashes. I've been able to narrow it down to one specific file and actually specific pages. But here is something I've noticed and cannot figure out. I've got three .psd linked files that are showing up as overset (OV) in the links panel, therefore when I click on them ID says it can't show me them because they are in over set text. But my live preflight says there is no over set text. ID jumps to pages still when I click that link but that whole story has no overset text. (i.e. not red overset in the outbox and no overset text in story editor mode. I can't figure out where those three linked objects are or how to select them to delete them. Any thoughts?

I would suggest running through the same steps as above (which it sounds like you've done) to see if you can isolate a problem, and in addition you might want to try exporting the stories to InDesign Tagged Text, then create a new file, move over the master pages, and place all the exported stories.
Also, be sure everyone is updated to the 7.5.3 patch.

The links panel indicates that the images are in overset text but we know for a fact that they are from a previous issue and are no longer in the ID file. Also, preflight indicates that there is no overset text in the file. It is one flow thoughout the entire file. Attempts to create PDF fail consistently. Each time someone has had to build the file again from scratch which for a file over 60 pages long, is not good for feelings towards the ID/InCopy.
This implies to me that you "recycle" document instead of building a template. ID is pretty stable, but no layout program is perfect and each time you do a save you introduce the possibility of small errors in the file. Somnetimes those small errors become big problems.
You can reduce the risk of problems on recurring publications by creating a template that contains your master pages, color swatches, styles, and any "static" content that might not be on a master page but still does not change from version to version. Each new version should be made from the template, so it is always a fresh second-generation copy.

Adding Conditional-Text conditions in bulk.

We are importing text from excel using XML via XSLT.
We would like to mark certain prices (excel columns or Indesign tags) as conditional text.
We are having a great deal of difficulty in applying conditional text using find-and-replace within Indesign, because of the variation in formatting of prices.
Below two products, where product B includes a thousands comma separater, a Tax Staus marker in the UK and a Truck Shipping marker in the USA all of which need to be included within the conditional text.
Product
UK (X1X)
Europe (X2X)
USA (X3X)
A
£1.99
3.50E
£3.59
B
£1,199.00 XV
3.500.00E
$3,590.00 T
Is it possible to apply conditions to tags?
Is it possible to apply conditions using XML or XSLT?

This problem was solved by a response to a more focussed question about GREP searching.
applying the conditions is straightforward once the correct strings have been GREP'd

Text in Illustrator CS6 displays the red plus sign but there is no overset text. How can I remove?

I have some text blocks in Illustrator CS 6 that display the red plus sign that indicates overset text but there is no overset text. It occurs in files that were created with earlier versions of Illustator and now we are reworking them. It can't be deleted. I have cut the text in the box and pasted it into a new text box to no avail. It is not a screen artifact. I have tried copying everything in the file and pasting it into a new file and the little red plus sign comes along. It doesn't print, of course, but is driving me crazy...

I just tried, but the text is point type, not area type, so expanding the box makes the type bigger and doesn’t show extra space that might be there. Looking at the hidden characters doesn’t show any extra returns. I also have a few of these plus signs that seem to be completely disembodied, just floating in space apart from any visible text. Thanks for your suggestion, though.

Overset text in Table of Contents

Indesign version = CS2
API = javascript
I'm having a problem getting overset text to appear in a TOC. I am passing true for the "includeOverset" param in the call document.createTOC() but the overset text does not appear. This is happening on both the CS2 desktop and CS2 server. If I open the generated document and re-generate the TOC then answer yes to the dialog asking wether or not to include overset text the missing text will appear.
Are there known issues with using the "includeOverset" when creating a TOC in the javascript API. Or are there other properties that I'm missing that need to be set.
Thanks Mike

Mike,
I also include overset text in my TOC that is actually off of the viewable spread. At first, it didn't work (even though I asked it to include the text). Then, I moved the field to be a few px within the viewable spread but left the text still off of the edge and it worked.
I am doing this through Javascript with CS3.
You may be having an entirely different problem... but I hope this helps :)

Overset text in Mac InDesign

I am producing a 32-page theatre program. I try to make a PDF of it and it says three pages have overset text. I cannot find any overset text, though. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Also, if you zoom to a low percentage with the view set to Normal you'll see the overset marks for any visible text frames. 5% view:
If the problem text frames are hidden you'll have to use preflight

I can't edit overset text in InDesign CS4

I have spent the last several hours trying to fix the overset text. Every time I click on the little red overset text in the lower right hand corner, another text box pops up. I have deleted it at least 150 times. I just cannot get it to work. I tried editing in story editor, but I've never used it, so I can't figure out how to do it. Ready to rip my hair out. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

As Kath says, the story editor is probably the place to start since you can at least see the text. It operates a lot like a low-end word processor.
It sounds like there is a problem in a line that prevents it from fitting in a frame. One common problem is that No Break has been applied to an entire paragraph or something similar (turning off hyphenation in narrow columns can do the same thing if you encounter a long string like a URL). Another common problem is that keep options are set in such a way that a paragraph cannot break. You,ll see style tags to the left of the text which can help you identify what styles are applied so you know where to start looking if the keeps are defined as part of a style.
Tables can also be an issue. ID will break a table between rows, but not mid-row. If a cell is too deep to fit the frame height it will exhibit the behavior you see. I think I've also seen a case where an entire table was set up as header rows, but I believe that caused ID to put one row per page, not to just go into overset.

Overset Text In InDesign

I've created a wall calendar in InDesign. In preflight, there are 80 errors, all overset text. Does this mean that the overset text just won't show up in print? Because if that's the case, I don't need it anyway. So would I need to delete it or deal with it at all if I don't need it printed? Thank you for any help. I'm still learning.

1.Salah Fadlabi is correct.
However, I always delete overset text, to avoid confusion and to be safe that
a third party person/print company opening the document won't be confused.
Different people work in different ways!
Hope this info' is of help.

InDesign overset text indicators

I have a document in which several pages have overset text indicators, but the text is not overset. There is actually space for more text within the text frames. I have not been able to see how to get rid of the overset indicators.

You will not be able to remove the overset indicator. But if you are being bothered of that indicator and since preflight panel always prompt you that you have overset text then I suggest that you have to removed those extra spaces you have in every frame.
Try this one if this will help you.
Save a copy of your InDesign file. (for Backup purposes)
If you are using Mac cmd + f or ctrl + f for Windows
In find change dialog Click GREP and in Find what: field copy paste this [\r]{2,} or this one [\r|\n]{2,}
Leave the Change to to blank:
In Search Select Document
Click Change All
See Screenshot:
Always check your InDesign files if you noticed that some text might be missing.
Hope it helps.
