Anchored objects and first line in InDesign CS3

Hi, thanks for reading. I know that when you want an achored object at the beginning of a text block to all push away ("wrap around") the text, including the first line, you have to put it into a line before that.
What I don't like about it, is that I then have an empty first line and everything else is pushed one line down. Now I could move the whole textbox up, to fit to the rest of my layout, but that's not the way one should work in InDesign. Is there a way to get around the first line?

T-
Select the anchored object and put text wrap on it. Then select the anchored object and go to Object/Anchored Object/Options. Select Position: Inline and set the Y Offset to the negative number that aligns your text where you want it.

    Hi Dale,
    You can follow the article: System requirements | InDesign to check whether CS3 products can work on InDesign CS3.
    Also please let me know what error message you are getting while re installing InDesign.

  • IDCS6(MAC) 10.9.4 - a script that will make an anchored object and paste in clipboard contents

    I'm trying to create a script that will create an anchored object that will paste in clipboard contents.
    So far I have:
    var frameRef = app.selection[0];
        var parentObj = frameRef.insertionPoints.item(0);
        var anchorFrame = parentObj.rectangles.add();
    And this works fine, creating an inline object, that can further be defined (with anchor point settings etc).
    However, it is when I go to use app.paste() or app.pasteInto() that all hell breaks loose.
    The line of code I added was:
    anchorFrame.content = app.pasteInto();
    and the error I get is:
    What am I doing incorrectly?
    Colin

    @Colin – For the paste command you like to use, you have to:
    1. First select an object, in your case the added rectangle object
    2. Then use the pasteInto() method from the app object
    3. There is no content property for a rectangle object
    Watch out what is selected after you added the rectangle.
    What you have is a selection of the text frame when you start your code in line one.
    Adding a rectangle will not change that selection.
    The following code will do the job.
    However, if you use pasteInto() the pasted objects could be only partly visible inside the frame.
    Depends on the size and position of the added rectangle relative to the original copied page items.
    Make sure that you give the rectangle a proper size after or while you are adding it:
    var frameRef = app.selection[0];
    var parentObj = frameRef.insertionPoints.item(0);
    //Will add a rectangle sized 40 x 40 mm
    var anchorFrame = parentObj.rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[0,0,"40mm","40mm"]});
    app.select(null); //Optional
    app.select(anchorFrame);
    app.pasteInto();

  • FB05 - trans to be processed and first line item PK for doc type

    Hi all,
    Me quite confused of the entry for the following document type in FB05
    DG - cust credit memo
    DR - cust invoice
    SA- gl acc doc
    SB - gl acc posting
    KG - vdr credit memo
    DZ - customer payment
    Need the help to let me know for document type above, what radio button to choose in transaction to be processed and also what posting key use at first line item.
    Also if i choose the wrong transaction to be processed radio button, any impact?
    thanks
    rgds

    Document type is primarily used to distinguish different various types of transactions. Ultimately, there are only two effects in accouting - debit and credit. Thus, doc type helps distinguish btw various types of accounting entries. It also controls certain field status while document posting and also drives the number range for the accounting document.
    Posting keys determine whether a transaction will be a credit or a debit. They also have an influence over the field status of the document entry screen. Posting keys are broadly divided into those belonging to
    Customer                             - Acct type C
    Vendors                               - Acct type V
    GL                                       - Acct type G
    Fixed Assets                        - Acct type A and
    Material Mgmt. transactions   - Acct type M
    For each account type there are both debit and credit posting keys. You can clik on F4 on the posting key field and see the various entries. You will understand.
    Thus, which posting key to enter depends on the transaction you want to enter.

  • No page break between table header and first line of the table main area

    Hi all.
    I'm printing a form which contains a lot of tables. Sometimes while printing the table header line remains at the bootom of  the page and the lines of internal table are printed on the next page (also with header because i have marked 'at page break' in the header). How is it possible not to break header line of 'Table'-node and the first line of internal table?
    Regards, Nikolai.

    Hello Niki,
    try to use page protection......
    create a folder and place the text that r to be displayed without break.........
    and check the checkbox page protection.
    I think you cannot put an entire table in a folder & turn "Page Protection" on simultaneously.
    Any ideas?

  • Anchored objects and text wrap

    HI, I have some large images that I want to anchor to the top of the page extending to the off sides to the spine. I've tried and tried with the 0 space paragraph, etc to get the text to wrap properly. It's usually just a fragment of the last sentence prior to the image that runs under the image (and there is no alert that it IS under there!
    Using CS5.5
    Thoughts?

    The issue is that the images are always supposed to be hugging the top or bottom and outer margins. when the image is at the top or say is a 2 page spread aligning at the top margin how can I anchor it to a paragraph content?  The big issue is when the  line wrap only partially and there is no visual cue that something is wrong.  I have tons of images in this multi doc ms that need to hang around the attending subject matter BUT with a majority of the images starting at the top margin, it is dangerous to anchor them becasue of the mis-wrap. Ha, I even thought I could put a non anchored empty text frame under the image.  That fixes the flow under the icture issue - until the image moves.
    Thoughts?   Workarounds?

  • Show the object and the line number, where the error happens in Forms

    Hi!
    Al lot of our programmer use the ugly when others clause to raise messages like "error <sqlcode> happens in ....". Often this hides the really error in some underlying procedures. Is it possible to call the error stack from forms like in 10g database dbms_utility.format_error_backtrace? Actually FRM-40735 hides all this information. This should be work for client and database pl/sql errors!
    With kind regards

    First of all, send every programmer in your organization a message to STOP doing that. I am afraid there is nothing you can do when you have to call some stupid code from your form that contains the when others then... sequence.
    Below is an email I sent out just two months ago. I'll share it with you:
    Hi _______,
    I looked over the _________ package to try to determine why it was so difficult to find the source of the problem. The problem was that the line number reported when the job failed was line 326, which is the Raise command at the end of the __xyz__ procedure.
    When someone writes:
          exception when others then raise;it causes line number reporting to fail when an unexpected Oracle error is encountered. Furthermore, the line does absolutely no good, because Oracle will automatically raise unhandled errors without that code.
    The only thing that code does is cause problems when someone looks for the source of a failure. Without that code, job failures can be located in just a few minutes.
    That same code sequence is repeated three times in the _________ package. The problem may also exist in the __abc___... functions that the _______.lookup_xxxl function calls, since no line numbers were reported from there, either. It would be very helpful if you would remove the problem code, and PLEASE instruct everyone on your staff to never use that sequence anywhere.
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - end of email - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Now, in addition, you can trap FRM-40735 in your on-error trigger and then display the message found in DBMS_ERROR_TEXT. In fact, you might try the format_error_backtrace from there, too.

  • Search Text and Replace with Graphic InDesign CS3

    I will be working with an XML file to be reformatted in InDesign.
    Is there a plug-in or a way to global replace a character (e.g. "$") present in various places in the body text with a tiff image of similar size?
    Or is it possible for a web programmer to set it up so that when I import the XML file that InDesign will ask to re-link all occurrences with a graphic that I can specify?

    Place the graphic in your InDesign document. Copy it to the clipboard.
    Use find change and fill in the find field and click the flyout for the

  • [JS][CS3-CS5] anchored objects/inline back to text

    g'day there.
    been handed a reformatting job where the client has supplied text in word with additional textframes (they have made callouts next to their body text), meaning when the text is imported into indesign, the text has hundreds of anchored objects containing the callouts. is it possible to take these anchored objects and convert them back into the actual main textframe? ATM, the only way to do this would be to cut and paste.
    i have done a search on the forums and elsewhere to remedy this and there are plenty of threads advising on how to take text and make anchored objects out of them, but what i want to do is the reverse.
    thank you.
    colly

    i feel strange answering my own question, but i stumbled across this older applescript and it seemed to do the trick, so thought i'd put it out there.
    tell application "InDesign CS5"
        tell document 1
          set thetextframes to text frames
          repeat with aframe in thetextframes
             set theCount to count of (text frames of aframe)
             tell aframe
                 repeat with i from theCount to 1 by -1
                   set boxContents to paragraphs of text frame i of aframe as string
                   set contents of first insertion point of parent of text frame i to boxContents
                   delete text frame i of aframe
                 end repeat
             end tell
          end repeat
       end tell
    end tell
    full credit to peter kincaid who wrote the script. all i did to make it work was just to tell the application CS5 rather than CS1 which was in the original script.
    the actual site i found the script at was:

  • Italics and boldface not preserved in cut-and-paste from InDesign CS3

    This is using Mac InDesign CS3 5.0.1 and Mac Dreamweaver CS3
    9.0.
    When cuting-and-pasting text from InDesign CS3 to Dreamweaver
    CS3, basic text formatting such as italics and boldface are not
    preserved for me. When I select Edit, Paste Special in Dreamweaver,
    the "Text with structure plus basic formatting (bold, italic)" is
    not selectable when the clipboard holds InDesign-origin text.
    If I paste the same InDesign text into Word, the formatting
    is preserved and if I then cut-and-paste from Word into
    Dreamweaver, boldface and italics are preserved. But I don't want
    to cut-and-paste everything twice!
    Do others experience this too?

    Apparently it is an issue with Leopard (and Illustrator)
    Workarounds:
    1) Export from InDesign as eps or PDF, or
    2) Copy paste into Photoshop as a Smartobject, and then double click the layer to edit smart object (it will open in Illustrator)
    I know, it's a pain.

  • Accessible PDFs from InDesign CS3 and Acrobat Pro 8

    Is there a good website or book that explains how to create an "accessible" PDF with text and images (no intaractivity or special fields to enter information)? Maybe a book for non-programmers.
    I find a lot of general information and it always states that it's the best to do the tagging from the beginning in InDesign but what else does it ivolve? In what order should I do what?
    Thanks.

    I'm doing one of the exercises provided by Adobe and have a question (InDesign CS3). I just learned that you can assign the "Artifact" tag to a graphic frame in two ways: Either via "New Attribute" in the Structure window (Articat/TRUE) or by right clicking and "Tag Element > Artifact").
    The results are different though. The New-Attribute-way keeps the name "Figure" and adds a Bullet to it saying Artifact=TRUE, while the right-click-option changes it from Figure to Artifact and adds no Bullet.
    Is there any difference for the person receiving the PDF and what is the better version (for what)? Thanks a lot!

  • Anchor Points and Intersect Guide Lines Disappeared

    Hi! I must have hit some type of command on my keyboard but now my anchor points and intersect guides have disappeared that would normally appear when I roll my mouse over the anchor point or the intersecting paths. I have hit Ctrl + H as well as went to the menu manually and my edges are showing. How do I turn back on this ability to see my anchor points and intersecting lines guide in Illustrator?
    Thanks in advance!!
    Edit: I run on Adobe Illustrator CS5

    Is View > Smart Guides turned on? If not, enable it.
    If Smart Guides are already turned on, check if Align to Grid is enabled in the View menu and turn it off.

  • Anchor Objects that go haywire

    Hi - we are a small studio that use InDesign CS3 on mainly Intel Mac's and two iMacs (not Intel). Most of our books are educational so they often use icons. To speed up corrections further down the line (when text might be inserted or deleted) we set these up as anchored objects and have even gone so far as to make object styles for the anchored objects offsets. Most of the time this works really well.
    The problem we are experiencing now is that while doing corrections to a particularly text heavy academic book (A4, 2 columns) the icons have started to jump all over the place.
    As far as I can make out it all started happening when a large heading jumped into the next text frame. The anchored objects all moved down as they should. But when the heading was corrected and brought back into it's box, the anchored icons did not go back to be alongside the text they were with before.
    It's almost like the zero point has moved or something. Does anyone know of a global way to fix this? Otherwise we have to go and select each anchored object and clear the overrides. (Did I mention it has a lot of icons!)
    Sorry for the long explanation, I hope you can make sense of this and have a quick answer)
    Eloise

    Daniel,
    You can always use a copy of the T shirt outline as a Clipping Path for an Object>Clipping Mask.
    Otherwise, it depends on the actual artwork; in some cases you may use one of the Pathfinders.
    If you have CS5, you should also be able to use Draw Inside.
