Break two threaded text frames into 2 separate unthreaded text frames

I have the most trouble with this. CS4.
What I'm wanting to do is separate two sections, if this is the same answer. I want my sections stand alone, unthreaded. Thanks!!!!!

In your scripts panel you'll find one under Application > Samples called Break Frame. Select the frame and click that. Done!

Import text values into Attribute ( Edit---- Text)

Dear MDM Gurus,
Kindly let me know how to import Text values into the Text Value of a ttribute.
If we get into Data Manager ---> Taxonomy Mode ---> attribute -
> Text Value -
> right click to get the "Edit Text".
Believe the TEXT can old more info than the TEXT Value itself.
Appreciate any inputs.
Thanks.

How to insert, merge linked text frames into existing long linked frame story?

I have a book with a single story, many linked frames/pages. The index takes 4 pages in the last part of the book, but not the final pages. I have regenerated the index and it is 4 pages of linked frames in a separate story in extra pages I generated at the end of the book. I selected the new index pages from the pages panel and moved them to the proper location in the book. I want to delete the old index & pages, but that still leaves me with two stories with the main story frames jumping around the index story frames. I want the index to be part of the main story so that if the text expands the index will move.
In short, insert and merge a story and its associated text frames in the middle of another story.
My move pages approach got it in the right location, but it will not float if the page count changes.
The only way I can see to do this is go back to my new index, select it all in the story editor, copy it, go to story editor on the original story, and paste in the proper location. This works, but it seems as if there should be a way of also doing it with frames, in ports, out ports, etc.

I must be unclear on the concept. I moved my new index into the existing story between the two desired pages. This shows the original story on the left with the text threads going around the inserted Index story:
Now I click the outport of the text frame on the left and alt click into the Index frame. That overwrites the contents of Index.
Not what I want. I actually want to split the text as well, and just thread thru the index frames and then continue with the original story. I did the above as a test case. For my actual problem, copying the index story in story mode, and pasting it over the appropriate text in the original story solved my problem.

Breaking up a Country map into separate provinces.

I want to separate (like a jigsaw) al the provinces in a country. I want to use them in powerpoint, place them in the correct order, when clicking on a specific province it will enlarge and information of the province can be displayed. Is it possible to do and if so, how?
Thanks in advance for any help.

So you selected “Pagination” on your FM Heading 3 paragraph tags right? And then mapped them to use the RH Heading 2 style? Is that what you’re doing? Maybe you need to post some screen shots (use the camera icon in the web interface) to show us what you’re doing.

I cant text flow using 3 different text files on the same document?????

Im starting out with 3 different files of text saved as "tab delimited text" from excel, I open a document in ID with 107 pages and create 3 boxes in the master on top of a pdf. I then override all 107 pages so that the text I insert will flow to the next page and so on, once I paste the 2nd text file into the next text frame it skips the original 107 files and starts flowing into new pages. Im ready to pull my hair out, I have been trying to figure this out for 2 hours. I dont know what to do at this point. I think Im getting a migraine.
I would have done a data merge on 2 of the files but the third HAS to be text flow (which gives me the same problem above) because it has to be physically changed to fit each page.

Are you Placing the text from an external file, or pasting it from the clipboard?
If Placing, move the loaded cursor inside one of the master frames on the first page, hold down the Shift key and click, being sure the cursor is not on any sort of guide. The entire text file will flow using the master text frames, and ID will add all the require pages to place all the text.
If pasting, you can either override the frame on the first page only, or make a temporary first frame on the pasteboard. Paste into this frame, which will result in a red plus sign in the bottom right corner of the text frame indicating overset text. Switch to the Selection tool (black arrow) and click on the plus sign to pick up the overset text. Hover the new loaded cursor over the frame on the second page, or over the first page as above if you used a temporary frame, hodl the Shift key and click. Delete the temporary frame, if you used one, and the text will reflow to start in the first real frame, but you may have to pick up overset again in the last frame due to the reflow.

How can i type text in one text box and have the same text appear in a second text box? (on the same page)

I'm trying to make a simple CD label template and would like the text typed into the title text field on the cover to also appear in the title box on the back cover when typed just the once.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
chuck b.

Hi Chuck,
Not possible with a Text box, but can be done with a table.
Type the text in cell A1 (top left). When you exit the cell, the text will appear in C1 (top right).
Table can have fewer cells; cell borders may be set to 'none' to make them invisible; font and size may be different is each cell (as shown).
The formula in C1 is pretty simple: =A1
So it's possible, but on the whole, I agree with Peter—Copy/Paste is just as efficient, Drag and Drop onto (styled) placeholder text works quite nicely.

Barry

Unthreading text frames for Idiots

I know there is a quick way to unthread text frames but for the life of me I cannot remember what it is. I know I can copy the text from the thread & start a new thread. But that seems like the slow way to do it. I swear I held the shift key down and double-clicked but can't seem to get this to work.

Do you want to break the story into two separate frames? If so, use the Break Frame script in the Samples.
Do you want to suck the story back into a frame. Click the outport and then click inside that frame. That breaks the story and doesn't leave you with a loaded cursor.

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done?

How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive? The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import. Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC.

No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either. It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected. VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB. All of which cannot be opened or selected.
Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC. Is that the same? Thank you for your time and response.

Scripting Selective XML into a Single Text Frame? (& Some Other Stuff...)

Hi all, I could use some help (using version CS5.5).
I want to import (via Javascript) an XML file similar to this:
<movieRoot>
     <dvds>
          <movie>
               <title>2001: A Space Odyssey</title>
               <edition>Special Edition</edition>
               <features>NOTHING</features>
               <notes/>
          </movie>
          <movie>
               <title>Airplane!</title>
               <edition />
               <features>Extra Laughs</features>
               <notes/>
          </movie>
     </dvds>
</movieRoot>
I've been able to successfully do this, so no problem there.
Then I want to dump the child elements under the XML element "<dvds>" into a single text frame that spans 2 columns per page. That's easy enough too, except:
1) I want to filter the data so that empty elements or whose contents equal "NOTHING" do not appear.
2) I want to add static text title above some of the elements that remain (outside the XML proper).
3) Then I want to format the text (using Paragraph Styles).
Tall order, I know, but I'm keen on figuring it out. I initially created a document using placeholders and used the standard XML Import to populate it with data, which was filtered using scripts to remove extraneous placeholders and static text. It gave me the result I wanted, but as the XML will be regularly updated and since the "filtered" tags result in non-standard XML entries, it means starting over from scratch after every XML update. So I turned to scripting...
For point #1, I was able to filter properly using a recursive IF statement, tested here using message alerts:
I've included a bunch of variables for (hopefully) easier viewing.
var myXMLRoot = myDocument.xmlElements.item(0); //movieRoot
var myXMLParent = myXMLRoot.xmlElements.item(0); //dvds
var myXMLElement = myXMLParent.xmlElements.item(0); //movie
var currElement = myXMLElement.xmlElements.item(0); //title
for (i = 0; i < myXMLParent.xmlElements.length; i++)
    myXMLElement = myXMLParent.xmlElements.item(i);
    for (j = 0; j < myXMLElement.xmlElements.length; j++)
        currElement = myXMLElement.xmlElements.item(j);
        if (currElement.contents != "" && currElement.contents != "NOTHING")
            alert (currElement.markupTag.name + ": " + currElement.contents);
It worked great until I tried to get it into an existing text frame. Since I want all the info in one text frame, placexml was out of the question, and markup worked but overwrote XML tags -- such as assigning the entire text frame to <movie/title> when I wanted it assigned to <dvds> with <movie/title> tags nested within it.
If you can help me with anything, this is really where I need pointed in the right direction most. But if you're feeling generous or bored...
Then for points #2 and #3, I want to take what's left ("filtered" XML data) and add additional text and formatting wherever certain tags are found.
For example, applying the paragraph style "MovieTitles" for any text within <title></title> XML tags; or adding the phrase "Special Features" (with paragraph style "Headers") above any text marked with <features> tags, while the content within those <features> tags applies the paragraph style "NormalText."
I've got some of this worked out in pieces already, but it generally falls apart because I can't get the tag structure correct in the text frame. I can provide more info as requested. Any help would be mighty appreciated!
UPDATE: Surprisingly, I've actually had some good success this evening on solving most of these problems. I'll post my results once I've finished up just in case anyone else can be helped by what I've learned.
One question remains for the moment: I've inserted text within an XML element, but outside of XML tags (e.g., </title>EDITION:<edition>) using "insertTextAsContent":
[xmlElementHere].insertTextAsContent("EDITION:", XMLElementPosition.beforeElement);
Does anyone know a good way to apply a paragraph style to that text without using a find & replace function later (after placing the XML into a text frame)?

As posted into the other thread:
Yes, each record will be in its own frame.
You can use one of a couple solutions to stitch (link) each frame to the other, delete all but the first page and the first merged record, then resize that first merge frame and reflow the entire document.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1341730?start=0&tstart=0
Please review this thread. There is a couple posts with a script and you would want the last version of that script. You would have to follow the directions, as well as add a column at the beginning of your data and fill it with consecutive numbers.
Alternatively, there is a free plug-in by Rohiko for stitching merge data frames together, then follow the process above to reflow the document.

Import video and be broke into separate clips by scene breaks.

Is there no way anymore to have iMovie create separate clips for imported movies by scene breaks on the camcorder? I know previous versions would recognize when the filming stopped then started again and separate these into separate clips.
(I'm talking about in the Even Library not Projects)
I know I can select one frame and delete it to create separate clips then but its one more step and will lots of scene breaks makes it a pain in the @$$

I am importing from a Sony Digital 8 camcorder through firewire just like I always did. When I imported the footage in imovie o9 instead of detecting when the recording stopped and started again and breaking it into separate event clips it put it as on big clip.
It imports the clips as .dv files

How to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript

Hi all,
Please suugest - how to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript.
Thanks

@Larry – ah, your interpretation could be the right one…
May I rephrase the question:
"How to split threaded text frames to single ones?"
"SplitStory.jsx" or "BreakFrame.jsx" under Scripts/Samples indeed could be the answer.
From the comments in the code of "BreakFrame.jsx":
//Removes the selected text frame (or text frames) from the
//story containing the text frame and removes the text contained
//by the text frame from the story.
//If you want to split *all* of the text fames in the story, use the
//SplitStory.jsx script.

How do I unthread text frames in CS4 InDesign Mac?

I've looked everywhere and tried what I found in Adobe help. I can't FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out how to unthread text frames in InDesign CS4 [Mac].
Please help. I know it must be simple.
Thank you,
Margot

Run the SplitStory scipt thats in the samples in the scripts panel.
A waord of caution, though. Splitting a threaded story caused ID to treat the text at the top of each frame as a new paragraph, even if it was caninued from a previous frame. This can result in unwanted changes like an indent, if such is called for in the paragraph style, or an extra number or bullet item in a list.
