Document Setup Primary Text Frame Greyed Out

I need to set Primary Text Frame for my already existing document, but it is greyed out. What is needed for it to work?

You must set Primary Text Frame on a master page. You can't already have content in the text frame.
Try dragging out the frame you want on the Master Page. With the Frame Edges turned on, pause over that frame and you will see the tool tip shown below. Click on it and it will become a Primary Text Frame.
By the way, you can only have one Primary Text Frame on a page.

  • Document Setup size change-frame defaults to centering

    In ID CS3, by default I have my Reference Point set to the upper left. I often get a repeat layout that may have a size change. If I originally had a 3"x5" ad and the repeat calls for a 4"x7", I reset the document setup. The frame goes to the left (0 x coord) but centers itself vertically (0.5" y coord). In QuarkXPress, the frame (box) would go to the 0 x and y coordinates. This is how i'd like InDesign to behave. Any way to do that?

    Hi Chinna, thank you for this - this is great - apologies if i didn't make it clear but this displays the info as an alert, and i needed it to appear in the "PageSize" text variable field as per the text in my post. However i think I've managed to work it out (pasted below if you're interested), and it works a treat now, so thank you ever so much for all your help.
    var doc = app.activeDocument; 
    doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.millimeters; 
    doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.millimeters; 
    for(var i =0;i<doc.pages.length;i++)
        pagesize = app.activeDocument.textVariables.itemByName("PageSize"); 
    pagesize.variableOptions.contents = doc.pages[i].bounds[2] + "mm x " + doc.pages[i].bounds[3] + "mm"

  • Text Tools Greyed out Acrobat 9 Pro

    I really need to do a quick fix on a PDF document. My text tools are greyed out. There are no security issues on the document. I put "never"  in the PDF/A view Mode as per another person suggested when I googled. I can't get anything to work.

    I opened the document on my home Mac computer and the text tool worked! My 'newer' home Mac came with Lion. My Mac at work was purchased in May 2008 and it came with Tiger. I had to upgrade it to Leopard and then Snow Leopard, then Lion. I think these upgrades have caused lots of problems. I took my Mac into an Apple Store and they upgraded it to the point for me to purchase Lion, which I did. I have a bunch of Adobe products and have had problems with many of them since upgrading to Lion (Tiger worked great). Bridge gets stuck all the time and I have to force quit it all the time. Can't drag and drop files very easily in Bridge. Photoshop has some problems, and there are other nusances I can't think of right now when I work in InDesign and Illustrator. Just don't know what to do about it. (I am the only Mac user at work.)
    I guess the text tools worked because I shut down the computer at the end of the day. I didn't think about rebooting when I had the problems because I am getting use to having so many! 
    Thanks for trying to help me. If you have hear of any of the other problems I wrote above and can lead me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative.

  • Include CD Text turned grey-out

    Oddity, I burn one cd, it includes CD Text, I'm able to select include cd text, fun stuff. I burn a lightscribe label for the disc [through SureThing, subsequently installed Nero]. Plopped the CD into my PS3, cd text recogonized, much fun.
    Burn a second cd. Plopped into PS3, no cd text detected, swapped back to iTunes, and it seems the Include CD Text option on that device is now grayed out. The other burner in the system can still select it.
    Have yet to attempt another burn until I dig up a cd-rw to test with. That, and they're burns for protected content, so I hopefully reasonably don't want to be burning through my 7 burn attempts debugging .
    HP DVD Writer 740b [drive that's now greyed out, the primary burning drive]
    LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S [drive that lets me select CD Text, however, it doesn't appear to persist between itunes sessions]

    Okie, consider me confused now. Tested the 'good' cd with another computer, no cd-text. So I'm guessing, the PS3 picked up the data off CDDB. How that really managed, I'm not too sure though, but hmm.
    Dug up a cd-rw, burned on the burner that supposedly can burn cd-text. Itunes doesn't pull auto-info on it, but a cddb/gracenote query in media player pulls up the appropiate album information. PS3 play test, mimics original 'good burn', it appears to pull cd info off cddb.
    So I'm left pondering, instead, why one of the albums I bought off iTunes has no album information then I remember, mcchris and suspect that it may not even have a cddb entry now .

  • Audio MIDI Setup Issue -- "Thru" checkbox greyed out

    I received my new PowerBook (DL Superdrive) last week and transferred my files from my old PB (the final 1GHz Titanium model) over the weekend. On my TiBook, I used to plug an analogue radio into the Line In port and Apple Pro speakers (via an iFire) into the Headphones port. I then ticked the "Thru" checkbox alongside the M(aster) Volume Slider in the Audio Input section of Audio MIDI Setup (even in Tiger, once I worked out where the checkbox was -- see <http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=740942>) to listen to the radio through the external speakers and control output volume using the keyboard's volume & mute keys.
    Audio MIDI Setup on the new Powerbook has some differences, however, including:
    1. In the Audio Input section, the M(aster) Volume Slider IS NOT greyed out, but the "Thru" checkbox on this line IS greyed out., and the 1 & 2 Volume Sliders ARE also greyed out.
    2. Clock Source is "Internal Clock" rather than [greyed out] "Default".
    The first of these differences has left me unable to set up my audio as I used to. Instead, I've had to run a non-Apple audio application, LineIn, in order to achieve the same result. The trouble with this is that I've also experienced the audio stuttering loop described in <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302978>, possibly as a result of this app running.
    Two questions: First, does anyone have any idea how to get Audio MIDI Setup running on the new Powerbook as it did (does) on the TiBook, so that I can dispense with LineIn?
    Second, do any of the other Powerbook owners with the audio stuttering problem have similar issues with Audio MIDI Setup -- is it a common factor/symptom/cause?
    PB G4 15" 1.67GHz DL SuperDrive   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    The audio stuttering issue was resolved by an OS X update shortly after I posted this message, but I never did resolve the other issue, and continue to use LineIn to this day (now on a MacBook Pro C2D.

  • Imac mid june 2011 ..connected toslink to optical to my hometheatre and yest io only get stereo sound..audio midi setup 5.1 is greyed out ? help ?new to mac

    guys after a long time...i finally shifted to mac ...a long time windows user...so far the experience is been good..
    ok here is my first problem with this setup
    in india its a pain to get a toslink to mini adapter ...finally i found one and connected the mini end to headphone jack behind my imac...
    (imac 21.5 mid june 2011) and optical end to my hometheatre ...
    in audio midi setup the multichannel option is set to stereo 2ch 16 bit..
    perian is installed and set to use dolby prologic..
    i only get stereo sound from itunes,vlc or movist or even xbmc and boxee...tried them all configured the audio to use 5.1 but no luck,
    questions
    why is 5.1 greyed out ?in audio midi setup ?
    i am using my mac to create multimedia content and knowing how the sounds created will be heard helps me a lot..
    i have invested a lot (3 years savings in this mac) and i wouyld very much appreciate all your help..
    i also purchased a griffin hdmi port which connects to my tv but the audio is still stereo..
    finally got a toslink http://www.amazon.com/3-5MM-TOSLINK-FIBER-OPTIC-TOSLINK-mini-Toslink/dp/B00006LV F3 this one ...still only stereo...
    any help would be greatly appreciated .....

    Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
    One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?

  • InDesign CS6 and OpenGL 1.5 / image frames grey out in INDML

    Hi everyone,
    I work for a non-profit and I just upgraded to InDesign CS6 on my (signifcantly more robust) machine. Now thier (significantly wimpier) machine needs to be upgraded too as we send INDD files back and forth on a monthly basis, and both sides do edits to the file. The INDML file I export out of CS6 is greying out many of the linked photos (but not all) when they read the INDML file in with CS4.
    Two things:
    1) Upgrading the slower machine to CS6 is the place, but the hitch is that computer has a graphics card that is only OPENGL 1.5 capabale (GMA X3100). The CS6 specs state you need a card that supports OPENGL 2.0. We can't afford to replace the computer, so: I wouldn't dream of running photoshop CS6 on this old machine, but could InDesign CS6 function on OPENGL 1.5?
    2) Alternatively, why are only some of the pictures greying out in the INDML file? Can I fix this CS6 > CS4 issue without upgrading to CS6?
    Help! Thanks!

    The system requirements for stand-alone ID don't mention OpenGL at all. You might want to download a trial and see how it runs.
    .idml does not include any link previews (that's one of the main reasons the file is so compact). Images that are showing up on the other end must be accessible so that ID can regenerate the previews.

  • When i re-open a document format of text frames is changed

    I save my document with some frames with text. I close it. When I open it again the text is no longer visible, the format of the frame is changed. If i save it again, it may be stable...... incredible.

    It sounds like you are alternately opening it in different versions of Pages.
    If you 'upgraded' to Pages 5 from Pages '09 they are both on your Mac.
    It sounds like you created the document in Pages '09 and then next time opened it in Pages 5 which does a poor job of translating the older format. Then when you saved it in Pages 5 it of course no longer changed the next time you opened it in Pages 5.
    In the process of 'upgrading' Pages 5 Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 many of wwhich are causing these problems.

    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Every now and then my SEND button for texts is greyed out and unfunctional

    I'll be texting someone just fine then suddenly the SEND button freezes up and doesn't allow me to continue the conversation.
    Anyone else?
    Thanks

    Hey! I get the same problem. I'm so happy I found someone like you, cuz no one at Rogers (my carrier) or Apple knows what's going on. I've recently tried going to "Settings" "Messages" and turning OFF "Show Subject Field". I do not yet know if this will solve our problem which is constantly frustrating, but I saw this in a discussion forum so I've just tried this. Let's keep each other posted on this intermittent issue okay? I get so bugged when I'm texting back & forth & suddenly for no reason the "send" button goes gray & simply won't allow me to continue no matter if I turn the phone off/on or whatever or even delete that string of texts & begin again to same person, (who's now been waiting too long for my reply LOL) Cheers, Steve. iPhone (647) 300-9222 Toronto.

  • Audio midi setup 5.1 function greyed out

    seems it has been disabled for use by airport express to stream 5.1 audio by way of pcm ; is there some way to OVERRIDE the default stereo speaker selection so i can use the 5.1 digital output as currently it only plays stereo .....

    kinda confusing to me ....that XBMC website is really a nice cross platform fix to wipe the hard drive and create a home theatre media center (htmc) seems i to me i cannot do what i want without going thru a bunch of hoops - i seemingly have a crippled mac pro that cannot play back 5.1 audio music digitally and as another poster suggested i could always buy a third party audio card that i think could be broken in the next os update /new 10.7 (lion) coming later this year ....i'm kinda frustrated because to me audio of any codec should be able to be at least played back on a $3000.00 machine for comparison i have an old windows box running ubuntu 10.0.4 doing very nice analog 5.1 surround sound that computer cost me $200.00 6 years ago; but i digress my amplifier/receiver can play digital audio 5.1 from my stand alone blu-ray player so i know it is not my amplifiers output it all seems to lead back to the macpro...dolby dts -thru imovie is said to work - but all i wanna do is listen to audio thru the digital out put on the back of the machine ........

  • Text wrap options are greyed out

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a "drop cap" by selecting a text box and changing the wrap options in the inspector however, the "object placement" options to wrap the text are greyed out and I can not change them, except for the options below, such as "object causes to wrap" check box and the "text fit" boxes.
    Is this a glitch? I have restarted both my program and whole computer, as well as tried it in a new document, and it still is coming up greyed out.
    HELP, I have a project due and I need to be able to add in drop caps!

  • Why is the Compare Document Feature is greyed out?

    Hello Everyone,
        I am trying to compare two very similar large documents.  I want to use the compare document feature but it is greyed out.  What would cause this to happen?
    Thanks
    Derek L.

    Here's what happened and worked for me.  My solution, observations and recomendations.  I have FCPX 10.0.9
    After creating a 2 minute plus video feature , I discovered I could not export (share) the project.  The share option was greyed out.  Also greyed out was the File> 'Reimport from camera / Archive' option some have suggested as a solution.  There were no errors or any indication why this was happening, which is a huge problem with this editing software and I will address that below.
    My problem was isolated to exporting (sharing) one timeline (project) so, reinstalling the entire program was not a logical option.  This is what I had to do...
    I was faced with the prospect of chasing my tail for weeks on end hoping that I could find an answer buried deep within the FCPX manual or online but, what I did instead was, the grueling task of creating a new project and copying clip by clip from the non-share project and pasting each clip into the new project until I found which clip or clips were the problem.  Each time I pasted into the new project I would look to see if the 'share' menu was greyed out.
    By doing so, I did indeed isolate the bad (?) clip in the new project and what I did in the 'non-share' project was simply reimport that one video clip.  Like magic the non-share project was able to export (share).  Share menu no longer greyed out.
    This taught me a valuable lesson.  1.) FCPX does NOT always give you the ability to isolate a clip it, for whatever reason, does not like.  Meaning, you're up the creek without a paddle when export / share time comes.  Huge, huge problem that needs to be addressed.
    2.) My humble recommendation is to ALWAYS check your 'Share' menu as often as you can tolerate. Specially those of you producing long projects. It's a pain but, if there is just one clip FCPX doesn't like you will NOT be able to export project.
