Creating text and text frames

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6fb2a.h tml

I did try to experiment and verify this detail with Baseline grid, but no precedence seems to apply :
«If Grids In Back is selected in Grids Preferences, then frame-based baseline grids take precedence over document-based baseline grids. If Grids In Back is not selected, then document-based baseline grids take precedence over frame-based baseline grids.»
I have tried with (in all examples the text align to baseline grid have been verified)
• a text box with a custom baseline grid and a baseline grid for the document (both with different increments),
• a text box WITHOUT a custom baseline grid OVER a text box with a custom baseline grid and a baseline grid for the document (both with different increments)
In any way I could have experiment some layer taking precedence on the other.
Is there something i'm missing ?

Can we create graphic and text in the same window of smartform without using template?

we create graphic and text in the same window of smartform without using template?

Hi Kinjal,
as far as i understand you are talking about a template which you can partitioned and in one part you wants to show your graphics and in other part you wants to print your text, the border of template shall remain invisible.
If you wants to do it without using a template, you can do it as sujjested by Susmitha, but creating a template will provide you more flexibility that if you wants to change the attributes in future you can do it easily.

What is the difference between Standard text and Text Symbols?

Hi,
1.Difference between Standard text and text symbol,?
2. Which we use Standard symbol?

Text symbol
Text symbols are symbols representing text elements. In fact, a text symbol can be defined for every text elements. The reading of the form is easier in the SAPscript editor. The name of the text symbol must not exceed 32 characters and its value 60 characters. The value assignement can be done in two ways:
- Using the following command: "/: DEFINE &SYMBOL&='TEST_SYMBOLE'"
- Using a standard text symbol.
The text symbol value is temporary stored. When the print program finishes the execution, the text symbol does not exist anymore. The text symbol must have a value when it is declared.
Also check this link,
http://www.supinfo-projects.com/en/2005/forms_sapscript_en/5/
Standard text are good, if you are using them in more than one SAPScript, because you have to maintain them only once, and not in every SAPScript.
It is really good to write rarely changing texts into the SO10 standard texts (for example company name, and address).
standard text is not always used in scripts. when ever u want to display some data u need to use standard text so that the data gets displayed. Say, u have a large piece of document which needs to be printed at end of script... rather than writing the whole thing in script, we create standard text using SO10 and then use the name along with standard text in script.

Selection text and text elements contents not displayed

I have a language related problem
I have 2 servers .
In first server I logged in english language and the selection text and text elements are displayed in English.
The requirement is I dont want to translate these texts it should be displayed in English only even if I log into SAP with other language.
So if I log in german I see the texts in English in the first server.
But this is not the case with second.
If I log in with English I see the english texts but if I do in german I am not able to see this english text with proper contents .
Can anybody let me know if there are any settings to be done ? As its working fine in first server but not in second .
Edited by: Jalpa Shukla on Oct 22, 2008 11:19 AM

Hello Jalpa Shukla,
If you want to display the text in english language only better dont use Text-element
instead of using text element you hard the text in the program then you will display the text in same in English.
Try in this way, If not past the code i will give the solution

I would Like Muse to allow me to create tabs and text leaders within text boxes

I created a web site for a client of mine that includes a price list. My client wanted the price of each item to be consistently aligned. This is something easy to do in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign (for example) but surprisingly not possible within Muse.
Widget................................................$8
Product...............................................$8
I ended up manually creating a leader using periods (see example above) however the numbers aren't perfectly aligned because Individual text characters have varying, inconsistent widths. Those varying widths are not compensated by adding or reducing an additional period thereby causing a price list that appears slightly jagged in its alignment. This is especially prevalent in long lists.
The use of tabs with leaders would be the the solution to this problem.

Did you ever see nice tabs and text leaders in any web page ? Probably not, because they don't properly exist in html and css. It's difficult then for the Muse team to develop a feature that has no technical basis.
There is some rudimentary tab technique in the works of the W3C, but the current browser support is poor. Muse could offer some make-shift method (with fixed spaces or characters) but this is not compliant with the principles of html.
I'd rather want the team to bring out tables, and use these in stead of tabs. (Tables are pretty well available in html, since 1993...)

Text and text box is altered after I copy and past a frame between InDesign CS2 Documents

I am using InDesign CS2 4.0.5 on a MAC G5 running 10.4.1
HELP! I am working on a text book that has text picked up from multiple documents. These text frames have inset text. When I copy and paste the text frames, some of the text frames (but not all) loose the inset boundaries. Also some of the text changes so it now wraps. I have checked and double checked; I am using the same object styles and the same paragraph styles, the same character styles. I have even used the book feature to synchronize the styles. But without luck. I read the adobe tech note 333340 about CS2 files moved from Windows to Mac. I don't think any of these files would have been created on the MAC, but I am even having this problem on documents that I know were both created on the MAC. Any suggestions?

This problem was fixed by reading the forum "InDesign CS2 kicking lines out of a text frame for no reason - Help?". Although my text wasn't moving to the next page, I tried changing all the documents to the same unit of measurement and the copy and past worked!!!

WScript.Quit

Hi Robert,
Your problem starts here:
Set DepthMarker = myDocument.Textframes.Item
...which item? Item takes either an integer (the index of the item) or a string (the contents of the label property, if any).
Next, however, is that you should be more specific about *where* the text frame is in the document. What page or spread is it on? Let's say that the frame "DepthMarker" is on page 1:
Set DepthMarker = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).TextFrames.Item(1)
If there's only one frame on that page, you're in great shape. If not, you need to come up with some way to differentiate one frame from another. Script labels are a great way to do this. Let's say you've used the Script Label panel to add the label "DepthMarker" to the relevant frame on page 1, and added the label "WarningText" to another frame. In that case, you'd use something like this:
Set DepthMarker = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).TextFrames.Item("DepthMarker")(0)
Set WarningText = myDocument.Pages.Item(1).TextFrames.Item("WarningText")(0)
...When you use a string to refer to a page item by its label, InDesign returns an array, so you need to get the first item in the array (assuming that there's only one page item on the page with that label).
Hope this makes sense! I'm typing it off the top of my head because I have to go speak at a conference tomorrow and am short on time--but it should get you pointed in the right direction.
Thanks,
Ole

How to scale text and text frame together by specifying measurements

Hi all,
I have a text frame that's 200mm wide (for example) and need to be able to scale it proportionally, along with the text it contains, by specifying the new width in mm (rather than as a percentage). Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I'm using InDesign CC 2014.
Many thanks
Jason

Maybe with a script, but I don't know of a way to do it in one step, the way you can scale with a percentage. If you want to do it in a few steps, this will work:
Set the position proxy to the left side of the text frame so that when you change the size, it will expand to the right
Change the size of the text frame to the size you need it to be
Snap a guide to the right edge of the text frame
Change the size of the text frame back to what it was before
Shift-Command drag the right side of the text frame until it snaps to the guide
That will get you want you want, but it's probably not the way you would prefer to do it.

Iphone 4s-when wifi is off and I am away from my home connection can I receive and send texts and text messages? I want to keep my wifi off to limit data (email etc) to when I want to check it. Cellular is roaming"voice only" it says.Can I get texts?

When my wifi is off and I'm away from my home connection - it shows wifi off (unless I turn it on to check my email etc.) - and in the settings cellular it shows "voice only". Will I be able to receive and send texts in those settings? Or check voicemail. I had wanted to keep my email from coming in all the time and only want to check it periodically - so I turn ON my wifi when I want to check my email. But when my wifi was off away from home- I hadn't seemed to be getting my texts. So- do I need to keep wifi roaming connected when away from home to receive and send my texts in real time. (which is what I want) or am I still able to send and receive texts with my wifi off when I'm away from home. (When I'm home I am connected to my home data plan automatically through wifi and I get texts when I'm home - but I'm thinking I'm not getting texts in real time - is it because my wifi is off when I'm away from home? My cellular shows voice only when my wifi is off away from home. Am I doing it right to receive and send texts away from home? Or do I need to open up the wifi in order to receive and send text messages. I know that I would need to turn on wifi roaming - which will use data - for email checking or sending - as well as to use browsing apps and now I'm guessing to receive voice messages I may have missed? So do I need wifi on to receive texts too? Thank you - GregorySC

Hello GregorySC,
In order to send and receive SMS or MMS messages, you will need to have an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS 5.0 or later
A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages

Suggestions - predictive text and text entry

I don't know if this forum is intended for suggestions but here are a couple anyway.
1. Because email and sms text do not operate in landscape mode the keyboard is very small. This leads to a large number of text entry errors compared to ther devices I have used. The screen sensitivity is excellent so this is ont a problem with using a touch device. Allowing landscape data entry would go a long wawy to solving this problem - the keyboard when used with safari in landscape mode is a lot better (perhaps 10% of the missed keys). An alternative which would be better for single handed use would be to ditch the qwerty layout and have a key pad that runs to 4 or 5 rows of keys instead of 3. In most cases it is only neccesary to see a single line of text entry so there is plenty of screen re-estate to do this.
2. The predictive text feature on the iPhone is very poor. This is due to a fundamental error in its design. The current implementation assumes that the current word typed is complete but may be misspelled. To be more useful the feature needs to assume that the characters typed are correct and suggest complete words that start with the fragment available. The predictive text in Windows mobile is infinately better that that of the iPhone (and one of the few features I miss from my old phone!).
If this is the wrong place for posting these suggestion - sorry

Text and text box unavailable

Used iWeb 09 to build a web page with a template: Now the left column is unavailable for edit or selection as a text box. If I "select all", it is selected with all other elements on the page--and I can move the box--but still can't edit the text in the box. Any help appreciated
