Changing text within frames without adding space at bottom

Anyone know if there's a method for changing text within frames so that the successive text automatically flows into position without creating blank space at bottom of that current or a subsequent frame?

Peter,
You can combine the discussions if you want.  I actually deleted a sentence beginning the second discussion explaining that it was related to the first.  I thought it might impede the discussion.
Let me describe my problem more completely.  I'm adjusting a book that was carefully crafted using frames for each page so that the text extended to the bottom of each page (frame).  This often splits text within a paragraph between two pages.  This was done so that the customer doesn't feel they are purchasing any blank space and for the aesthetic purpose of filling each page with text.  The only exception is the beginning of new chapters or sections.
The problem is that I want to change a word here and there in preexisting paragraphs.  When I do, space often one-third the page length is generated at the bottom of a page (frame).  To fill that space and extend text to the bottom of the page again requires -given my current understanding of options- selecting the paragraph (beginning on one page and completed on the second) that has become interrupted by the blank space and performing a "keep lines together" option.  Unfortunately, this usually generates new blank space on a subsequent page, requiring a new "keep lines together"; in a seemingly unending regress of this procedure.
What I require is a method enabling me to add text within a paragraph that will avoid the generation of the blank space by flowing the subsequent text (composing one or more paragraphs and splitting a paragraph between pages if required) to the end of the page; completely filling the page without requiring any use of "keep options" or whatever.

  • How do I change text within a paragraph in VB-script?

    I am having some problems with changing the text inside a paragraph without affecting the styling of other paragraphs. It may be that I am using a wrong approach to changing existing text, I don't really know.
    As an example, I have the following two paragraphs inside a table cell:
    12
    35
    These two paragraphs have different paragraph styles applied to them.
    If I now change the contents of the first paragraph to a 1 digit number, the style of the second paragraph changes to the same style as the first one.
    Paragraph1.Contents = "4" & Chr(13)
    The text is correct after the change, but the styling on the second paragraph is wrong:
    4
    35
    I have also tried using Paragraph.Lines(1).Contents and Paragraph.Texts(1).Contents, but the result is the same.
    Is there any way of changing text inside a paragraph, which ensures that noting other than that text is affected?

    Hi Frank,
    The problem is occurring because you're effectively removing the paragraph end by replacing the entire contents of the paragreaph. You want to use the Characters collection and the ItemByRange method so that you can leave the paragraph end untouched.
    I'm pretty sure it would look something like this though I haven't tested this:
    Set SChar = Paragraph1.Characters(1)
    Set EChar = Paragraph1.Characters(-2)     'giving you the 2nd to last character.
    Set TxtToDel = Paragraph1.Characters.ItemByRange(SChar, EChar).
    TxtToDel.Delete
    Then you can set Paragraph1.InsertionPoints(1).Contents to the new text.
    If the ItemByRange doesn't work you can always loop through the character collectoin and delete all but the last characters in the paragraph.
    Good luck!

  • How to move an object with its animation path, without adding a new keyframe?

    Hi,
    If I create an object which has a keyframe animation, how can I change its location/scale without adding new keyframes? That is, I want to move the whole thing with all its animations & keyframes as a single entity.
    thanks
    Arun

    Hi,
    big thanks for that. Unless Im doing something stupid when I did that it made a new copy of the object but did allow me to place that new instance elsewhere.
    Is there any way just to move an object and its path without making a new copy?
    All the best

  • HT3529 How do I send a group text, I have set up groups in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually

    How do I send a group text message, I have groups set up in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually ?

    You can use iCloud:
    Step 1. Log into www.icloud.com using your Apple ID.
    Step 2. Click on Contacts and then click the groups ribbon (the red icon with two people) which is on the left-hand page when viewing All Contacts.
    Step 3. The left page changes to a list of Groups (only those groups stored in iCloud are shown). Click the + button at the bottom to add a new group.
    Step 4. Type a name for the new group and press Enter to save it. To change it after this, double-click its entry in the groups list.
    Step 5. To add contacts to the new group, click on the All Contacts group and locate the first person to be added (you can use the search bar to find them quickly).
    Step 6. Drag their name on top of the new group and drop it to add it to that group.
    Step 7. To add more contacts, repeat steps 5 and 6, but you can add multiple contacts at once by pressing Ctrl (on a PC) or Command (on a Mac) and clicking on each contact in the list that you wish to select. Then, drag one of the highlighted names to the new group and they will all be added.
    It's possible to add names to more than one group, and you can create as many groups as you like.
    Step 8. Launch the Contacts app on your device (iPhone, iPod touch or iPad) and you should see the new group appear almost immediately - as long as you have an internet connection.
    Until Apple builds in a function to create groups directly within the Contacts app, this is the best way to do it.

  • Adding text to editable region creates space in the rest of my layout

    I created my layout in PS, sliced the images and then imported to DW (html and images).
    Layout looks great.
    I created editable regions in the template I created from the .html
    One I start inserting text into these regions, my container moves and it throws the rest of the layout off by adding space between the editable region and the area above it (a big black line horizontally through the page).
    Is there a way to keep the container/editable region from moving or growing with the text so that it doesn't change my layout?
    On a side note, this change doesn't appear in live view. When I preview in browser, Safari layout looks great, but text doesn't appear. In firefox, text appears, but layout is a mess.
    Here is the code from the editable region to which I am trying to add text:
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="main_content_area" -->
            <div id="site_layout_contentmain">Content for  id "site_layout_contentmain" Goes Here</div>
          <!-- TemplateEndEditable --></td>
    ANY help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!!

    If it pulls apart in Firefox, chances are it pulls apart in all browsers when text size is increased.
    The problem with Photoshop code is that it is a) rigid, b) unstable and c) invalid.  
    To illustrate, run your code through the on-line validation tools below.

    Photoshop is OK for designing quick comps to show the client but they won't hold up on a real site.
    IMO, the benefits of starting over far outweigh the inconvenience.

  • How do I change text attributes within one text box in Motion 3?

    I am trying to change text attributes within one text box in Motion 3, but am only able to change the font/size for the entire box. Is there a way to change the attributes to individual lines of text within a text box without creating an entirely new one or using the "Lower Third" text effect?
    How do I create (two different) multiple colors, fonts, bold, italic, underline in one text box within Final Cut Studio Motion (FCP, FCS)

    Thank you! You saved me hours of tinkering around with multiple text boxes. It seemed like it should be something pretty elementary. It didn't help that I am not familiar with proper terminology, so thank you for defining glyph.

  • Acrobat XI Pro Mac: Changing Text Color moves Text within Paragraph

    Dear Acrobat Experts!
    I've been using Acrobat Pro for over a decade now (Win and Mac) - but Acrobat XI Pro Mac shows some behavior I cannot deal with:
    When I'm changing text color of say a couple of words within a paragraph, usually the formatting changes and text is being moved/shifted. It looks like the text with altered color requires more space and consequently the following words are shifted which very often ruins the whole formatting. This makes Acrobat XI for me nearly unusable, I had never a behavior like this in former Acrobat versions (Win or Mac).
    I cannot believe that this is "normal" - so what's the mistake I'm making? For illustration please see the two screenshots I included.
    I'm looking forward to your helpful comments!
    Oliver

    Hi Sukrit!
    Thanks for your assistance.
    This is the first and only Acrobat version ever I had this problem with. I am running Acrobat Version 11.0.10 under Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite on a MacBook Pro 15" Retina display. I am working on Mac only since Acrobat Pro 7 - the versions before were Windows.
    So I cannot comment on Acrobat XI Pro Win.
    This is happening with all of my PDF docs - regardless of origin (textbook, scientific journal, or PDFs I generated by myself as export from office applications etc.).
    The only difference is the amount of changes to the formatting (shifting of text).
    To illustrate my workflow I generated a screencast and uploaded it here:
    <Dropbox - Acrobat_XI_Pro_Mac_3.mp4>
    Looking forward to hear from you again!

  • Carry over formatting to the next page without adding a text box

    I've written 15 books on the old pages and had no trouble carrying the formatting to the next page without adding a page or adding a text box to the added page.  I just kept on typing.  I've added the new pages and had trouble right from the start so I went back to the old and got a good start, but going through that added procedure on every new page gets old in a hurry.
    It shows the number of pages at the bottom, but a new page doesn't come on automatically  when I type. 
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    1. Why not continue to use Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder?
    2. In Pages 5:
    Setup (gear icon far right of toolbar) > check Document Body
    and the text will flow from page to page.

  • Style sheet changing when applied to text within a table

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using ID CS2.
    I've defined a paragraph style sheet with the regular weight of a certain typeface, however when I apply this style to text within a table, the typeface changes to the bold version of the font even though the regular version is specified in the style.
    Does anyone know if this is a known issue with styles being applied to tables or is it a sign of a corrupt file or something? Is there a fix?
    Thanks

  • Typeface changes automatically when changing color on text within a bullet

    Something very weird is happening when I change the color of the typeface within a bullet. As soon as I click on the new color in the Colors palette, the typeface changes to another typeface (one that doesn't even show up in the Fonts palette, so I don't even know what it is). I went back to make sure the slide master had the correct typeface, which it does, and I have the typeface installed on my computer.
    This does NOT happen when I select the entire bullet, just when I select text WITHIN the bullet.
    Any idea what might be causing this?
    Many thanks for any help you might provide.

  • Changing text direction for Hebrew lines within a document.

    We are new to Creative Cloud.  We need to be able to chnage text direction within an In Design document.  We looked up how to do it, and while the directions were clear (clicking on change character direction from the character options menu), our character options menu does not include changing text direction as one of the options.  We just joined the creative cloud a few weeks ago and have the most updated version; what do we need to do?

    Do you have the CC Desktop Appliction installed (It's sort of a command central for CC)? If not, get it at https://creative.adobe.com/

  • BUG: Changing text colours within a text block: Keyboard shortcuts problem (Photoshop CS5)

    In earlier versions of Photoshop, I could double click a Paragraph Text to edit it, then select individual words and change their colours using the Ctrl+Backspace and Alt-Backspace keyboard shortcuts (to change them to either Background or Foreground colours).
    In PhotoShop CS5, Alt+Backspace is OK, but Ctrl-Backspace deletes the highlighted word! Not good. I believe this is a bug, can it be fixed to revert to the old behaviour?
    (Photoshop CS5 Extended x64 on Windows 7 x64)

    I fully understand what you're saying, and while I'm all for compatibility, user interface change cannot be accomplished without, well, change.
    Imagine, for example, that thousands of people could have reported that they couldn't delete the prior word with Ctrl-Backspace while using the T tool in Photoshop, while they could with every other application on their systems.  Imagine that none of the users like you reported that they were happy with things the way they already are.
    Perhaps the best approach in a situation like this would have been for Adobe to add a configuration option somewhere to allow individual users to make the choice.  But EVEN THEN there's a push from the Marketing types to simplify the number of choices given to customers, probably because doing so reduces support costs (imagine, for example, someone brainlessly setting it to your flavor of Ctrl-Backspace, then calling support to complain that they can't delete the prior word as they have always been able to do).  There are a lot of requests on this forum that read like "I must have changed a setting somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can find it."
    Microsoft and Adobe have both moved lately in this direction (reducing choices and configurability), reportedly to "reduce the cognitive load" on presumably ever less intelligent users, with ill effects in many cases.  Unfortunately, "you can have it any way you like so long as it's our way" seems to be the way of the future.
