[CS3 JS] pasteInPlace keeping Text Threads

Aloha
I am working on a script the will copy all textFrames on all pages and do a pasteInPlace on a new Layer.
I have everything working with the pasteInPlace. Other than loosing the Text Threads from overset text.
Is there a way to have the newly pasted Text Frames do a overflow into the proper Text Frame?
In my case the overflow Text Frames are on a different page.
Example:
Page One has Three Stories. Two of them have overset text. One story is flowed into a Text Frames on Page Two the Second one on page Three.

I don't want to move them just make a copy of them.
I took a look at the layers part from a different direction. I am now just making a copy of say Layer 1 to Layer 2. This keeps everything intact.
But I am Also looking at doing the same thing but Document to Document.

  • [JS CS3] Show Text Threads

    Does anyone know the syntax to script the View > Show Text Threads command in CS3? It seems that it should be something like:
    app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.showTextThreads
    ...but that isn't in the DOM. I can't seem to locate it. Can this be done?

    Hi Fred,<br /><br />Here's a little function which will retrieve any menu action based on it <br />name (which appears in the UI). It's much quicker to access menus <br />directly (rather than loop), but this is an easy way to find them.<br /><br />function GetMenuAction(name){<br />    var menus = app.menuActions;<br />    for(var i=0;i<menus.length;i++){<br />        var menu = menus[i];<br />        if(menu.name == name){return menu}<br />        }<br />    return null;<br />    }<br /><br />Actually, this works too:<br /><br />menu = app.menuActions.item("Show Text Threads"<br /><br />Harbs

  • InDesign CS3 - Is it possible to thread anchored text across pages?

    New to InDesign. Just learned about anchored objects. Have anchored text that is longer than the text it refers to. Text exists in the first column and would like for text to thread to the first column on the next page.

    I don't think so. As you have it now, the callout stays with the line the object is anchored to, and it doesn't break and continue at the end of a page -- which is a problem when your callout line is near or at the bottom of the page.
    I don't suppose you could create separate anchored frames for each of the text lines in the callout ... It would work for a while, but you would run into problems when editing -- you cannot easily edit a single callout as the frames are not threaded, and if two of these objects end up on the same line in the original text thread, they would appear on top of eachother.
    Any of the other guys & gals out there with a good idea?

  • How do I keep text in a converted file??

    I want to convert a PDF file that I received as an email attachement.  Can I convert it without saving it first.  It is the type that will let you save a blank form but not the info typed in and I don't want to retype the entire form.

    When I try to save it only the form is saved not the text that was typed in.  I want to save the info so I don't have to retype it.Bob

    Hi, Bob.Yes, CreatePDF will allow you to save a PDF file as a Word file, so you can then type and add text to that Word file. If you received it as an email attachment, it will be easiest to: 1) save it to your computer's desktop, 2) upload it to the CreatePDF service.Please let us know if you have additional questions or issues.Regards,Dave

  • PDF to InDesign and text threads

    I have only a PDF of a 300+ page book. I tried using the PDF2ID plug-in to transfer to InDesign CS3, and it looks clean. However, each page comes in as a separate, unthreaded text block. Is there some way to thread all the pages at once?
    The book is pretty much straight text.
    Alternatively, are there other plug-ins that would do the job?
    Thanks,
    Gail

    PDF to InDesign and text threads
    Hi Sandee,
    Thanks for your quick answer. I tried the trial version and couldn't get the text frames to link so I wrote to recosoft and got the very puzzling answer below. So I'm wondering how this works. Would you know or would you know the direct contact of the gentleman who spoke at the InDesign meeting in SF in January?
    Thanks,
    Gail
    > I notice a couple of things, however.
    > 1. Converting a whole chapter, I notice that the text boxes are no longer
    > linked.
    Text Frame linking is only performed within a page and that also PDF2ID has
    to perform responsible Text Frame linking otherwise frames that shouldn't be
    linked will.
    A PDF file doesn't contain any kind of text frame linking information.
    PDF2ID makes this on its own.
    > I believe one of the new features is to thread text frames.

  • How do you save a text thread from being deleted off your phone?

    I want to save a specific text thread on my phone. Due to the fact that my phone on stores 90 days worth of texts this conversation will be deleted soon. How do I keep it on my phone?

    Are you using the stock messaging app, Verizon Messages, or another messaging app?  Each may have a different way of saving messages - long press a message in the thread, or long press the thread itself and see what aoptions you have.
    Using Verizon Messages, I see an option to "Save Messages" - you may be able to "lock" messages preventing deletion too.  Other third party apps allow you to download and save messages to a file you can store on your computer.

  • Is there a way to view earlier messages in a thread without going through each day? Also, can you make a photo album from the same text thread without going back to the beginning?

  • HOW TO KEEP TEXT AT BOTTOM OF PAGE USING JAVASCRIPT-ANSWERED

    UPDATE 5/12/2006: MORE COMPATIBLE CODE:
    Was using OnRequestEnd.cfm to load copyright info at bottom
    of each page but page size varied and copyright info would appear
    at different points on different pages. Didn't look good. Could not
    use tables to align the text for output reasons. Coded a way using
    CSS and JavaScript to keep text at bottom of each page. Be careful
    with CFFORM, us have to set the attribute 'wMode=transparent' in
    CFFORM so text is above form. Tested in IE and Netscape. Put at end
    of individual templates or inside OnRequestEnd.cfm - Enjoy!
    (css goes in your external css file or between local style
    tags)
    .copyright{background-color:#d8d8d8;color:Black;font-size:10px;font-family:Arial;width:10 0%;text-align:center;}
    body {border-bottom-width:0px;}
    (following goes at end of page or in OnRequestEnd.cfm)
    <span id="x" class="copyright">
    my copyright
    </span>
    <!--- *** KEEPS COPYRIGHT LINE AT ABSOLUTE BOTTOM OF EACH
    PAGE --->
    <script>
    if(document.body.scrollHeight <
    document.body.clientHeight){
    var s = 0;
    document.getElementById('x').style.cssText='position:absolute;bottom:'+s+';';
    else {
    var s = document.body.scrollHeight;
    document.getElementById('x').style.cssText='position:absolute;top:'+s+';';
    </script>

    To change it for a given text frame, the frame must be selected when you execute the menu command.

    …how can I apply this to the majority (400+) of my text frames at once?
    To change the setting of existing frames throughout your document, use Edit > Find/Change.
    Choose the Object tab.
    Set the Search: field to Document.
    Set the Type: field to Text Frames.
    If there is a formatting attribute common to all the text frames you want to target and change, click the glass/frame icon next to the Find Object Format field to access the Find Object Format Options dialog and set that common attribute.
    Click the glass/frame icon next to the Change Object Format field to access the Change Object Format Options dialog and set the Align: field to Justify under Basic Attributes > Text Frame General Options > Vertical Justification.
    Step through the Find Next/Change sequence to selectively apply the change, or click the Change All button if you're certain you want all the found frames changed.

  • Red triangle/exclamation point on text thread

    About a week ago, when I'd open up the menu listing all of my text threads with various people, I noticed a red triangle/exclamation point icon showing up next to the name of one person.  A few days ago, I began experiencing trouble opening up this particular thread; I would just get the "loading" message.  My friend has been able to send me texts, I just can't open them.  Any idea what this might be and why it seems to be affecting only one text thread?  Thanks!!

    I ended up calleing tech support and the problem was that I had not deleted any of my texts and I didn't have enough space.  I deleted old messages and the problem is solved.

  • How do I copy a very long iPhone text thread and email to myself?

    I would like to copy and email myself a long text thread on my iPhone to save as a permanent document in text format.  I only see now that I can do two possible things:
    #1)     Screen Shot page-by-page and then email to myself those photo images of the text conversation (but they will not be in text format)
    OR
    #2)     Select each reply, one by one, and then forward those to my email.  This could take an entire week to do.
    Does anyone know of a better option?

    Well, you didn't mention Mac, but to my knowledge, TouchCopy works on both platforms. And, my understanding of the OP was to send each one individually, whereas WiseJD was referring to selecting them all so you could copy them all and send, rather than emailing each individual piece.
    It wasn't that I thought it was rude, but that it was a complaint about something that someone said a year ago. You did not come here to ask a question, or indicate at all that you were looking for a solution to a similar question. It was just that you came on, slammed a response and left it at that. Those of us that take the time to answer people's questions as volunteers and users just like you. If you spend a great deal of time here, you will see a lot of different types of questions/comments that can get on your nerves. Here is a link for TouchCopy and it does work on both platforms. http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/

  • Grouping Causes Text Threads to Disappear; Photo commentary with captions

    Is there a way to group picutres inside my text frames without making text threads disappear?  As soon as I select my text, photos, and jump text, the text threads disappear.
    Also, is there a formal way of adding text commentary to a photo?  I'd like to use the term "captions" but I know that captions mean a different thing in InDesign.
    Thx!

    It worked, thanks.
    Any information on the picture captions?

  • Text Threads

    Is there any way to copy or print a text thread from my Trophy? I would like to show someone a complete chain of threads from a year ago until now and would like to know the easiest way to get that data.

        Good question Bales! As far as the whole thread is concerned, there is not a way to print that off. You can send the individual texts to your e-mail address via normal SMS and then have them all together. The easiest way to have that information is just to have it shown on the phone. You can reference http://bit.ly/T60Euh for further assistance! Thanks!

  • Show Text Thread in all opened Document

    I want to show text thread in all opended Documents, here is my script, but have error, anyone can fix?
    var myEnableTextThreads = app.menuActions.itemByID(24332);
    var myEnableTextThreads1 = app.menuActions.item("Hide Text Threads");
    var myEnableTextThreads2 = app.menuActions.item("Show Text Threads");
    ShowThreads();
    function ShowThreads(){
    var myDoc = app.documents;
    for (var i=0; i<myDoc.length; i++) {
    if (myDoc[i].menuActions.item("Show Text Threads") == true){
               myEnableTextThreads.invoke();
                 alert("Text Threads Shown");

    Hi,
    No such property is exposed for scripting, unfortunately.
    The one to observe is a menuAction.name ==> but this is only an effect of some procedure involved by menuAction. Even worse ==> script will show you the last menuAction status - not the one is currently applied to activeDocument. It will update after menu activation in UI, not earlier.
    So you can only toggle between both of them regardless on its current state, using app.menuActions.itemByID(24332).
    If you will try to check (by script) its current menuAction.name ==> sometimes is true, sometimes is false.
    If you will check it manually ==. is true cause is updated already.

  • Email a text thread?

    Is it possible to email a complete text thread instead of taking individual pictures and emailing them?

    If on Windows, get this:

    On a Mac, get this:

    Yea, they cost money, but they do the job quick & easy, plus a whole lot more.

  • Feature Request: overflow text (threading text into another text box) as in InDesign

    I would like to see overflow text (threading text into another text box) as in InDesign

    Brilliant. Thanks for the reply. The file I'm using is the same one I've been using as a emplate for about 3 years now, but I've recently upgraded to Windows 8 and re-installed my copy of InDesign onto that, so I could have inadvertantly flicked one of these settings on during setup.
    I'll look through the properties or something and see if I can find the language settings.
    Thanks Steve, I appreciate your help. :-)
