Editor doesn't see text flowing around object

I've placed a psd file with a transparent background and next to it a text frame. The text flows around the non transparent parts of the object. When the editor opens the file, the image shows as kind of a preview version. Light coloured and with a non transparent background. But what's worse, the text isn't flowing around the object. Instead it flows around the object frame. See attached image. Left the view in Incopy, right in Indesign as it should be. What is causing this? When the editor edits the text and I open it again in Indesign, the text still flows around the man.

Both are CS3. I save the Indesign (with the correct text wrap around the alpha channel) and the assignment is opened in Incopy at a remote location (where ever the editors are). They see the image with the text wrapped around the image frame instead of the transparent part. The can edit the file and when I open it in Indesign again, the text flows around the non transparent parts again. The Indesign file is a new document. Doesn't matter whether I open the ID or IC file, both open with the text wrapped around the object. Only when the editor opens the IC file the text is wrapped around the image rectangle.

Text flow around objects such as giraffe neck in sample

Hi
I am new here. I bought pages yesterday. Awesome app. On the example pages there is a giraffe and the text flows around it's neck. When I tried to do something similar the text only flows around the whole square image imported regardless of white space. How do you get text to flow around non square objects.
In the getting started there is a butterfly and the golden viewer. In those cases the text also flows around the non square shape of these objects
Do you need an app to cut out such objects and paste them direct into pages?
Or in other words : how did they get the text to flow around giraffe neck?
Thanks a mil

Corne ~ Welcome to the discussions. See this Help page:
http://help.apple.com/iwork/1.3/safari/index.html#tan72488c93
...If following the instructions there for "+Wrap text around an object"+ doesn't do it, it implies that you'll have to cut around the image first. And this phrase there, seems to suggest that you'll have to cut around first:
"Especially if you have images with irregular outlines, you can use text wrap to create visually playful layouts in which the text follows the contours of the image."

Text Flow around objects

I have a two-column book with photographs/diagrams of different sizes. On occasions where these extend into the second column, the text flow is often uneven across the two columns. I can get the text in the right hand column to move down, but not the left to move up. (page 11) Sometimes the same sort of thing applies with the photo just in one column - the left and right text blocks don't line up. It's probably something simple I am missing, but what?
Another issue on similar lines concerns any box/photo/line/object I put in place. When I started with the program, I experimented a little with the Text Wrap settings. Somehow these became accepted as default, and every new line/box etc comes in with these settings I then have to alter. How do I change these default settings? I have re-set it any number of times, it still comes back to my first experimental values.
I am using CS6 InDesign on an i-Mac with OSX 10.6.8.
Thanks, Les

Check the Help files for an explanation of how to use the Baseline Grid feature. It's not fun, but it fixes your problem.

To change the default for the current document, set it to None with nothing selected.
To change the default for all future documents, set it to None with no document open.

Spotlight still doesn't see text clippings

Why has Apple and other search developers ignored text clippings in search results. I really like the way Tembo searches but it doesn't see them either.

Type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?

Indesign CS3: type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?
is this true? or do I have a setting that I'm missing?
thanks.

Seems that it does, and in CS4 as well.
What are you doing with type on a path that requires it to honor wrap? Could you do it by cutting the path and threading?

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.

Text blur around objects

Problem: text wrapped around an inserted object blurs, especially if the object has a shade. Increasing the Extra Space around the object reduces the blur, but does not get rid of it. And trying to achieve a wrap tighter than the default 12 points makes the blur very noticeable. The blur, though less visible, appears when Reflection, the jolly new feature in Pages 2, is used to go over text underneath an object.
This problem is particularly troublesome when producing professional print PDFs.
To see what I am talking about open the first page of the Smith Family Newsletter template and have a look at the characters to the right of the house photo in the centre of the page.
Has anyone dealt with this successfully? Would be very obliged if you could point me to a solution.

Hello sashura,
this happens when exporting to minor quality PDFs, because of the conversion of the shadow and reflection effects into images. Lower quality PDFs are stored with lower resolutions for bitmap images. If you need 1A PDF quality, use the ColorSync app for PDF saving. To do so, follow these steps:
1) Open the print requester in Pages and choose the item "ColorSync" in the 3rd pop-up menu.
2) There choose the last entry (for adding filter) of the pull-down menu "Quarz-Filter". Your document will be open in the ColorSync app.
3) Click on the button with the three filters in the tool bar of the window and a new window opens.
4) Create a new filter and name it for a PDF/X-3 filter.
5) Over the menu triangle button at the right of the filter name bar you can add filter content. Choose the component for PDF submenu and there the PDF/X-3 item.
6) Now you can see the filter attributes. In the row before the last one you can insert the resolution. This is important for shadows and fonts above and inside of shadowed shapes, too. With the attributes you have control over trim- and bleed boxes as well.
7) When you are ready with your settings, close the filter window and choose the just created filter with the pop-up menu at the bottom of the ColorSync window. Than press the accept button and save the PDF document.
With this you have the best control for PDF print options.
I hope this solves your problem, because since I use this I have no display quality problems for printing.

HT1277 Text does not flow around images properly when I send emails from Mail to Outlook.

I often send group emails to let friends know about our upcoming band gigs. I use a nice header image, and sometimes have images in the text.
In Mail, I can make text flow around the images (float left, float right, etc.). But when I receive these emails at my office in MS Outlook, the pictures just display inline, with all text starting after them, instead of flowing around them.
This is not the case when I format similar emails in Outlook and receive them in Mail.
What can be done?

You're probably not going to like the answer: Welcome to HTML-based email, and web (browser- or mail-based) rendering incompatibilities and quirks.
Newer Microsoft Internet Explorer is (much) better than older releases, so see if a newer Windows client or a newer version of Outlook does better.
If you really want to see what's going on here, view the raw HTML that's getting generated, and see what Microsoft wants or uses or expects within Outlook, and send that.

RE Text to flow around shape

In Pages 08 or 09 - Is it possible to get text to flow or follow around e.g. a sircle or anoter shape?
What I am thinking of here, is something simular to word-art in MS word.
You got some bad advice and accepted it and closed the topic.
It's absolutely possible to have text flow around a shape. In word processing mode, highlight/select the shape/image, click the Inspector>Wrap. Set Wrap=yes. You can define how the text wraps around the shape, above-below only, surround, etc.. you can even define how closely the text wraps to the shape.
Wait a little bit the next time you ask a question. The first person responding may not have the answer.

Nope, wasn't rhetorical at all, Just wonder why it still has to be so hard to find. I did finally figure out that if I copied the pic into the Pages doc. from I-Photo via the Media Icon/tool, the text began to wrap. I was frustrated before while trying to finalize a bio before my partner left so she could take it by a gallery displaying her work for an upcoming show. I remember wishing for this capablilty in the late 1980's and was really frustrated because in MS Word 2008 for Mac I couldn't find any possibilty of Word or Text Wrapping and within Pages 2011, I could not get the necessary menu to highlight and therefore work. If Mac just used the right mouse button and allowed icons, etc. to show up when moused over and help links to pop up when right clicked on, it would save soo much time.
Thanks for your post, it eventually helped me.

Smart text flow doesn't work in scripting

This is getting to be really frusting. I have enabled smart text flow, it only works if I open the app and modify a textframe. It never works when I run it through a script????? How do I activate this stupid feature using a script?

Hi,
This works (for me):
var document = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = document.textFrames.add();
var page = document.pages.add();
var nextTextFrame = page.textFrames.add();
document.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;
document.textPreferences.limitToMasterTextFrames = false;
document.textPreferences.deleteEmptyPages = true;
document.textPreferences.addPages = AddPageOptions.END_OF_DOCUMENT;
textFrame.geometricBounds = [10, 10, 280, 200];
nextTextFrame.geometricBounds = [10, 10, 280, 200];
nextTextFrame.previousTextFrame = textFrame;
for(var index = 0; index < 100; index++)
textFrame.contents += "Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World ";

Firefox doesn't show text on certain websites.

On several websites that I visit regularly (e.g. Autosport.com) Fiefox will not display text whilst other browsers do. This is very frustrating because I much prefer Firefox!
I have screenshots of Firefox v IE but apparently I can't post them until I have a received a reply.

How safe is it to delete Lucida Grande from my Windows Fonts folder?
</blockquote>
I think it depends on how it got there. If it was dropped by Safari for Windows, which is no longer a product that Apple supports, I think it's safe to remove. If it belongs to some other software, then that software might object to losing the font. I'm not sure of the best way to determine that. I suppose you could hedge your bets by dragging it into a different folder so Windows just doesn't see it.

Table with a textArea editor doesn't stop editing

I need to have a table with TextArea as editor (to show the information) but it must be changed through a Dialog and return to the render (also a textArea)
The problem is when after modify the information with the editor I call fireEditingStopped(); and it doesn't return to the render it remains in editor so I can modify the text and when I change of cell It returns to the text put by the editor. I need that the user can't change the text showed in the textArea only be modified through the Dialog.
In the next code I isolated the problem, so the Editor change the original text with "NEW VALUE" simulating the action of Dialog (which is not included).
Thanks a lot and thanks for the patience for my bad English.
