Can I change a size of basic text block?

I wonder can I do smth with a size of any text block that Indesign creates if I, for example, copy-paste some text into the page?
I repeat, I don't create any text block, just make the paste command. Then, some text block will be created with my text inside.
Usually this text block is too big especially if I paste just 1-2 words. Right for now, such block equal almost 53 mm squared.
Can I change it? The width is not that important but the height of such block causes some obstacles during the work.

hm..
so this way it is might be also auto-size:height only used, and even to set some minimum height to avoid a block getting too flattened.
though, autosize options are good for some specific projects, and not really for daily use..

Can you change the size of the menu bar text ?

I am getting on in years and it is harder to read the text in the menu bar. Is it possible to change the size of the text in the menu bar ?

Christopher,
Also If you want, you might look into the "Zoom" Accessibility feature.
System Preferences > Accessibility > "Zoom" in the list on the left > Pick the Zoom settings you like.
I myself am fond of and use the options "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom:" and Zoom Style: "Picture-in-Picture"
The "Picture-in-Picture" makes a little magnifying like glass that follows my cursor around compared to the whole screen zooming in.
The Modifier key one makes so that When I hold down ( Control ) and scroll it zooms in. You can control the depth of the zoom by scrolling more or less.

Hope that helps,

how can i change the size of the picture i have copied and paste

If this question is about TextEdit, I don't think you can do it in TextEdit, after pasting the image. TextEdit is meant to be a basic text editing program.
You will have to open the image file in an image editing application. You can use Preview for doing this, or something more fancy. If it's Preview, just open the image file. From the menu bar, under Tools, select Adjust Size. Make the image the desired size. Then, select (outline) the portion of the image you want in the Preview document window. Copy it, and paste it into the TextEdit document window.

How can I change to size of a book and keep all the layouts I have created?

How can I change the size of a book and use the layout that I have already chosen (I accidently laid the book out for a larger size book than what I acctually wanted)?

Just in case of problems duplicate the book (select it and edit ==> duplicate or Command=D) and then click on themes and select the same theme in theprper size - verify that everything worked (sometime different sized text blocks cause minor problems that require attention) and preview it -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
then order

After creating a pdf can I change the size of the font when uploading in acrobat and what version?

What do you mean by "uploading in Acrobat"?
(Note that if you change the size of text, it won't reflow, so you end up with a mess. Answer is, probably not useful)

How to change the size of the text inside a label?

Hello,
I would like to change the size of the text inside a label.
Is there any way to do it Web DynPro?

Hello Roy,
Not possible. WDLabelDesign contains only 2 values: STANDARD and LIGHT. As workaround you can use TextView. It supports a lot of "designs" (e.g. label_small).
Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

How can i change the size of PDF files ?

how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

How can I change the size of the FINDER toolbar so that its eaier to read i.e. make the text bigger.
How can you move the orientaion of the left side menus so that they sit above a document when using word. If you have a single document open you tend to place it in the centre of the screen and the drop down menus are so far away.

I don't know of a way to change the size of the menu bar.
For the other, take a look at Menu Pop. I don't know anything about it. Just happened across it the other day.

How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

Hello,
Here is the problematic:
1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

I can't change print sizes in certain folders!

This is a maddening problem!
I have an HP 8750, which I have no problems with.
I just got a Kodak 5100 printer. The problem is that in certain folders, if I try to change the print size of an image, say Letter to Borderless 4x6, it doesn't stick! In the upper left region, it'll show the new size I selected, but the margins, cell size, image size, etc., don't change.
This only happens in certain folders within the Library! If I move an image from a folder that has the problem into another folder that's working properly, I can resize the images in that folder. If I move it back to the "bad" folder, it won't work again. Likewise, taking an image from a good folder to a bad one makes it so I can't change the size.
This only happens with the 5100 printer. If I switch to the HP, I can set the paper size just fine, even in a "bad" folder. If I switch back to the 5100, it goes back to the size I set before.
It also only happens in Lightroom. If I export the image into Photoshop, it works fine.
I'm thinking this is a bug.

Here's a random sampling of folder names that work and don't work:
works:
E:\Digital Photos\Maria2
E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\Lollipop
doesn't work:
E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\Yellow
E:\Digital Photos\Maria
E:\Digital Photos\London\fig
E:\Digital Photos\London\rejects
Notice there are 2 subfolders of E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\, and one works, one doesn't.
Now I haven't systematically checked every file in any particular folder, but if I find that one file in a folder works or doesn't work, every other file I randomly pick so far has also worked or not worked just like the first one.
