CS3 to CS2 text flow problem

I have saved a IND 3 doc as an INX file but when I open it in IND 2 bits of the text have enlarged causing overflow.
Any idea why?
(tried opening it in IND 3 again and it's fine)
thanks
Pete

There's no way to prevent text reflow moving between versions. Those of us at the InDesign Conference learned this week from the engineers that there can be subtle changes in the text composer or in the dictionaries supplied. (Or there could be a bug in the way CS3 saved INX.)
Moral: Stay in the same version if you possibly can.

Two Column Text Flow Problem

Aside from Pages not importing Word (from a Mac) properly when there's columns involved I have another column problem.
I'd like to find a way to make a document that has two equal side-by-side columns, lets call them Column A on the left and Column B on the right. So when I start typing in Column B on the right and reach the bottom of the page the text continues on that new page in Column B.
As far as I can tell it's impossible to do this as every time I reach the end of a page, the text jumps to the left into Column A. Is there any way to set it up so when you type in one column pages automatically jumps to that same column on the next page without having to add section or layout or column breaks for every single page?
This is a bit of a nightmare. It seems Pages can't do a simple two column document as it insists on linking them together for every new page it creates as you type text.
Can anyone help me?

There are definitely some liimitations in how Pages handles its flow of information. I dislike the fact that once you have placed your pages the way you want from the pages within a template there is no way of having the text automatically flow from one to the next (irritating since some of my templates are designed to be journals)
Pages won't do what you want. I am sure there are programs which are better suited to do so because they are designed for that particular market. I thank you, however for not stamping your feet and demanding that it be the very next thing for them to accomplish on their growing list of things to do next.
(and I tried a few different things, hoping to figure out a way to do this. One of which was to design a templlate which was half the width of a sheet of paper. It was determining what was placed on the second side which was difficult.)
now, of course, depending on how long your document was going to be you could try something different by making an infinitely long sheet of paper. At every point where the header would be you just incorporated a text box or shape with a wrap so your text would skip down to the next virtual page.
Of course, this sounds like far more work, and distracting to the natural creation process of a writer. Find the software which removes itself from your creative juices and lets you concentrate on being the awsome writer you are.

Footnote text flow problem.

My problem is that the footnotes don't split and then the rest of the document will not show in the text frame. The document has lots of footnotes and a lot of them are long (over 2 pages). I have the minimum space set at .125" and Allow Split Footnote checked. If I make the text block a bigger the next sentence will pull in and the the big gap is gone. Any ideas on how to get the next sentence to pull in?

I do have keep the first and last 2 line together. If I turn it off, the text still doesn't pull in. If I make the text block a little bigger, the footnote will split. (see screen shot)

6500 text flow problem

I've just upgraded my firmware and now when I text the words break at the end of line and don't scroll to the next line.

Do you have 'Keep with previous' switched on in the paragraphs on those pages?
Avoiding a last line on the next page is easier with 'Keep line together'. You can find both in 'Keep options' in the paragraph menu. Also, I find it easier to mark a paragraph with 'Start in next frame'. You don't have to touch the frames that way.

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

[JS CS3] How to detect text flow?

Hello,
Here is a fun problem: I have a series of scripts that checks for various errors in formatting of an ID file. The errors are tagged with XML tags. Very nicely, none of the scripts change the text, just record the errors. This includes that the scripts do not create any text flow, for instance, pushing words from the bottom of one page on to the top of the next page. However, once in a while I have discovered that the text does flow. I do not think the problem is in the scripts but in some instability in the file. Most of the time there is no flow.
So, I would like to write a script that detects text flow. I do not expect anyone here to write it for me but I would like suggestions on the following scheme or if anyone has a better road to follow.
1. Upon opening a file, a script would record the number of characters in the last text frame of any multi-text frame story. This would establish the original state of the file. Getting the number of characters in the last frame is easy, but the thing to ponder is how to record? A .txt document could be created that contains that information, but then how do I use it? Perhaps better is to record the info in variables written by the script itself.
2. Anytime that the number of characters in the last text frame changes an alert would pop-up stating this. Perhaps a snippet of the first line of the last frame would be included in the alert to help the user find the problem (there could be several multi-frame stories in the document).
I would like to be able to turn on and off the alert. While editing there will be of course text flow. But while merely checking I do not want text flow but do want to know when it inadvertently occurs.
I know that such a script(s) would involve Event Listeners, something I have not used before.
Any suggestions? I'm just looking for pointers before I start on the road of writing this.
Thanks,
Tom

Yeah, I know what you mean. The "invisible" XML markers aren't exactly perfectly invisible -- perhaps they mess with the n-th digit of precision when justifying text, or something like that.
There still may be a minor flow between two successive text frames -- a single word that suddenly jumps to the next page, but paragraph spacing adjusts itself to keep the same number of lines.
A good idea, though. You could look into storing the number of characters per frame into the frame itself, as a custom label.

Importing INX from CS3 to CS2 problem

Greetings,
I'm working on a 16-page newsletter file saved from ID CS3 to INX that then won't import into CS2. When I try, a list of missing plugins come up that its saying are needed. The thing is, I've done this before and it wasn't a problem. Also, I've tried a blank test INX from CS3 into CS2 and it opens.
I'm assuming there's something in this particular CS3 newsletter file that's causing the snag, but have no idea what I'm looking for or how to fix it. A corrupt font, maybe? or corrupt image file?
I had a similar newsletter file last month that I did the CS3 --> INX --> CS2 thing with, and it worked fine as well. I just repeated that process with those old files and it still works, so the problem is with this new file. I'm not using any new plug ins or doing anything really different this month compared to last.
Any ideas? I'd really rather not have to recreate it from scratch, especially if it may not solve the problem -- it'd take a long time and we're in a bit of a hurry.
Thanks for any help.

I saw the hyperlink in there just by luck -- it was a long document and I was just scanning through, seeing what I could see. I went back to the InDesign CS3 file to remove it via the "Hyperlinks" panel, and resaved as INX, which opened in my CS2.
Unfortunately it didn't open in my colleague's CS2 after all though, which is why we were doing the INX deal in the first place... so we gave up and we're editing it over the phone. Real high-tech.
There really needs to be a plug-in or something next time around, Adobe, or preferably, built-in backward-compatibility like most other apps have. This whole "save as INX" thing is extremely annoying.

Problem with Pages text flow

In a 'Pages' long document the text flow is not consistent despite the settings in the Inspector being identical. On some facing pages the last line does not justify, on others the text refuses to fill large gaps that seem to occur at random.

No Gremlins, just your settings.
Prevent widow and orphans will haul lines over onto subsequent pages leaving gaps where necessary. If you don't want that then uncheck it. You understand what those terms mean?
Language applies to selected text just like bolding, fonts, color etc. If you are copying and pasting material from elsewhere such as the Internet they will have their own langauge or none. The default language is whatever you have set it in System Preferences.
Paragraph Styles will stay what they were in the document or what they were when you pasted them into the document. Use Paste and Match Style if you want it to conform to the style of where you are pasting it.
It is possible for a paragraph of text to have mixed styles due to author's changes. To force apply a style to text, double click it in the Styles Drawer.

Snippets: CS3 vs CS2

We're just moving up to CS3 from CS2.
In CS2, when I placed a snippet it was automatically placed in the position where it was when created. In CS3, I get a loaded cursor that wants me to click. In looking at InDesign help, I found there is a new preference under "file handling" that I THOUGHT would help, but it does not. I changed the preference setting to "position at original location", but I still have to click for the snippet to place.
I know it seems like it's not a big deal, but we have a script that places a snippet (among doing other things) and I really don't want it to stop for the user to click. They're used to things just showing up where they're supposed to be.
Is there another preference setting I'm missing?

Only that DWCS3 renders CSS-based pages better than DW8 did

Definitely. Can you post a link to a page?

Every single box is outlined after conversion from CS3 to CS2!!!! Plz HELP!!!

Hi there guys,
I'm quite new to the forum, but I have come through an issue that is weird to me...
See: One of my clients I'm a freelance designer– is an ad agency whose only graphic designer is on marriage vacation.
This guy converted some files from Indesign CS3 to CS2 so I can go on whit the projects while he is out happily just married in Thailand...
The problem is, however, whit every single box, doesn't matter if they are text or image boxes or even empty boxes. Neither if they already had outline or not. They all have somehow come up whit a black outline. And I'm starting to lose my nerves on fixing that...
Moreover, there are some text boxes –footnotes and the like– that contain a web address or an e-mail direction. This "www.xxxxxxxxx.com" and the "[email protected]" stuff is outlined within the text box with the same black line that will disappear only if I type back the thing...
Is this maybe a known issue? Has anyone ever heard or experienced that?
Any workarounds or known fixes or whatever?
Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to read and answer!!!

The outlines around hyperlinks are just visual indicators for you so you'll know they are there (not all hyperlinks show up as URLs) and won't print. You should be able to turn them off in the hyperlinks palette if you want to. If you just re-type the hyperlink text it will no longer be a real hyperlink, if that'st required.
As far as the strokes on everything, I'm not sure. Is it possible there's an object style applied to all of these items and the stroke is now defined in the style. (Does CS2 support object styles? I've forgotten and don't have it on this machine to check). It could also be some sort of translation glitch in the move from CS3 to CS2.

Apostrophe glyph does not transfer from CS3 to CS2 by inx

Can someone please confirm this: The Apostrophe glyph does not transfer by inx from CS3 5.0.2(640) to CS2 4.0.5(688).
It does transfer by inx from CS2 4.05(688) to CS1 3.0.1(838).
It also does roundtrip in CS3, CS2, and CS.
This is not a problem for me now that I know about it. I just wanted to report it for the benefit of others, as this is a commonly used character.
I tested this with Times (T1) in a very simple file containing just the apostrophe glyph followed by the lower case "x". These tests were conducted in Tiger 10.4.11.
It seems like it may be related to the similar problem with bullet glyphs that has been mentioned by Sandee and others in this forum.
Al

I can reproduce the report by Klaus of being able to put in the "missing" apostrophe with a text editor. But using TextWrangler I was unable to find the "missing" apostrophe in the CS3 inx by searching for "'" or "0027" (the Unicode value for the apostrophe). Now, since IDCS3 is able to open its own inx including the apostrophe glyph, it must be encoding it in the inx in some special way. Exploring the IDCS2 inx for a test file with the string "CHICKEN 'N WAFFLES" shows that it is saved as "c_CHICKEN"+"&apos"+";N WAFFLES". Then searching from the top for the string "&apos", finds 5 instances of it. While a simillar search for "&apos" in the CS3 inx finds only one instance of it. Clearly IDCS3 and IDCS2 write their inx files differently. No surprise there. Searching the CS3 inx for *parts* of "CHICKEN 'N WAFFLES" locates: <txsr prst="o_u65" crst="o_u62" paln="e_cent" ptfs="c_Medium" ptsz="U_18" font="c_Helvetica"> <pcnt>c_CHICKEN </pcnt> </txsr> <txsr prst="o_u65" crst="o_u62" paln="e_cent" ptfs="c_Medium" ptsz="U_18" ligt="b_f" font="c_Helvetica" OTca="b_f"> <pcnt>e_SSSq</pcnt> </txsr> <txsr prst="o_u65" crst="o_u62" paln="e_cent" ptfs="c_Medium" ptsz="U_18" font="c_Helvetica"> <pcnt>c_N WAFFLES</pcnt> </txsr> Now if I paste in a copy of the lines : <txsr prst="o_u65" crst="o_u62" paln="e_cent" ptfs="c_Medium" ptsz="U_18" font="c_Helvetica"> <pcnt>c_N WAFFLES</pcnt> </txsr> after the first occurrence and save the file from TextWrangler, it will then reopen in IDCS3 with the text string "CHICKEN ''N WAFFLES" (note the two apostrophes). But in the case of the string " 'x" as the only contents of the text frame where the apostrophe *does* transfer from CS3 to CS2 it is encoded this way: <txsr prst="o_u6b" crst="o_u68" ptfs="c_Regular" ptsz="U_18" ligt="b_f" font="c_Times (TT)" OTca="b_f"> <pcnt>c_ '</pcnt> </txsr> <txsr prst="o_u6b" crst="o_u68" ptsz="U_18" font="c_Times (TT)"> <pcnt>c_x</pcnt> </txsr> Note the "&apos" in that code, which is what CS2 is able to import. Conclusion: IDCS3 does indeed save the apostrophe in the inx in a completely different way than IDCS2, and in different ways under different circumstances. So the bug is that Abobe forgot to take into account how the new way of writing the apostrophe would affect IDCS2's ability to import it. Al

Photoshop CS3 (nor CS2) won't launch since CS3 install

Since installing Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium I can no longer open Photoshop. It repeatedly crashes on the launch window. For the sceptical, my CS3 Production Premium collection was all legitimately authorised and registered.
Of the other CS3 apps that installed (can't install Encore, Premiere or Soundbooth on PowerPC) they all open and run perfectly fine.
I uninstalled all CS3 and re-installed CS2. Now Photoshop CS2 won't open either (but everything else is still fine). Exactly the same problem, Photoshop crashes during the launch window.
What has CS3 changed to my system that prevents Photoshop opening and can I correct the issue? From searches on this subject Someone suggested repairing permissions before and after installing CS3. This had no effect.
Thank you for any help.
//-- edit- the crash seems to happen when 'Building TWAIN menu items' --//

You can try trashing and regenerating Photoshop preferences when you launch.
Hold down command/option/shift while launching Photoshop. You will be asked if you want to get rid of Photoshop settings. Choose yes.
See if this works; you may have to reset some of your Photoshop preferences afterward. I'm not sure why you can't install the other applications.
Also, it may have something to do with activation; did you activate your copy of CS3? You should be able to have CS3 and CS2 both running as far as activation is concerned, but are they on the same drive? This might be a problem if one version is trying to read the other's settings during launch.

Text box problem or question

I'm having the text field problem. I have two text boxes (inside my .fla file) one i can add more text without the box expanding and can then select the text and croll down to view the missing text and the other one just gets longer the more text I add. I'm trying to duplicate the text box that does not expand the more text I add to it.
All the settings in the properties are the same on both and I've tried it in MX and CS3 and the both have the same properties in both.
I'm stumped can anyone help.
I'm attaching the file.
Thanks!

If you right click the textfield on the stage you can select the "scrollable" option for it. Another option to duplicate the textfield is to copy/paste it.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

I recently purchased a new desktop computer and installed Adobe CS3 Master Edition on it and I get the following error:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Out of the entire suite of tools only Photoshop will not launch. The weird thing is i also had the same Adobe programs installed on my laptop and I have not made any installation updates to that machine and i am getting the same error. I have always installed the same software on my two home machines with no problem until now. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

You'll probably going to have to uninstall, then re-install the application; but you need to provide a lot more information;
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Text Flow from service order to requisition

Hi Everyone,
I having a problem regarding text flow from service orders IW31/IW32 to requisition ME53N.
I created/updated a service order in IW31/IW32 and enter some text in "Operation Short Text" column. When I release the service order the short text should ideally be reflected in purchase requisition. What's happening right now is that "If the length of text entered in IW32 is more than 40 characters then the text is reflected in requisition ME53N otherwise any updates to this column text are not reflected in ME53N".
I debugged ME53N and found that it gets the value of text using READ_TEXT so I hope the same is stored in standard text while saving IW31/IW32. I checked the text also which is created after saving Iw32 and it contains changed data only if the length of the data is more than 40 characters.
To me it looks like standard SAP process that the text will flow from service order to purchase requisition only if the data length is more than 40 characters. If anyone has any idea can you please share. Is there any sugesstion for correcting this. Any reason or OSS.
