Embedded graphic in a text window

Hello. I am really stumped on this one. I have inherited a project with Headline text windows. Each Headine text window has a bar embedded in it -- something like this "HEADLINE HERE ----------". I need to adjust the color and length of the bar. I can not cut it out or unanchor it it from the text window. I can not move the bar to the left (closer to the type). If I drag the text window out to the right, the bar continues the length of the text window. Help! Thanks.

Turn on your invisibles (Type>Show Hidden) so you can see what's creating the white space—right indent tabs don't show in the Tabs panel. Your screen capture show's that there isn't a regular tab there. It could be a tracked m-space like this:
If you want to control the space replace the white space(s) with a tab like below and drag the tab arrow to flex the space:
Or, simply change the tracking on whatever space is there.

Embedded graphic in deleted text in a tracked change (CS4)

I Placed a Word file full of tracked changes and graphics. When I check the list of links (all embedded at this point), the first one is marked with page "DT". When I try to Go To it tells me "Cannot show link: The selected item is in deleted text in a tracked change."
I didn't know ID understood tracked changes, except in that it seems to accept all of them as it imports. I guess I could just ignore it there, but its presence offends me. Whatever it is, it's something I don't want. How can I get rid of it?

Sorry to keep bumping this, but I'm amazed no one else has run into it yet.
Should be fairly easy to test: Open Word, put some text in, turn on Track Changes, add a picture, delete the picture, save the file, Place in IDCS4 with "Track Changes for InCopy" turned on. You should get the embedded picture listed in Links with no way to get rid of it.
If someone can describe to me how to take this through InCopy (do I have InCopy?) maybe I can get rid of it that way.
It's gotten worse: I thought I'd be smart and unembed it and delete the linked file. Now I'm constantly reminded that it's [not] there when I open the file.

Embedding graphics in a text block

I do a lot of work that requires the use of bullet points. Many of the bullets are custom graphics. Additionally, I frequently need to use symbols not found in pi fonts that need to stay with the text.
In Quark Xpress I have the ability to paste a graphic directly into a text block so that if I have to re-flow the text, the graphic stays in place. Is there any way of doing this in Illustrator. It seems to me that I was able to do this in a previous version but maybe I'm dreaming.
Thanks

Freehand could do it. InDesign can do it now. Sadly, Illustrator can't, and never could.

When I forward an HTML email with embedded graphics to someone, it forwards it as plain text.. this is driving me batty.. how do I forward such mails INTACT??

I have the latest Thunderbird installed on a new 64-bit Winblows Eight netbook.. fantastic program, but one problem is driving me absolutely batty, and after using the latest Thunderbird for weeks, I simply can't figure out how to fix it..
I'm on a lot of mfr. and other kinds of mailing lists, like eBay watch list alerts, and so on.. these are not s p a m (although I get plenty of that.. who doesn't).. but lists I WANT to be on..
Many such emails from those mailing lists are in HTML format with embedded graphics.. I'm not talking about graphic file attachments, but embedded graphics which are coming from the senders' servers, and appear AS a graphic in the email.. sometimes such emails are one huge graphic with hardly any text.. all well and good..
However, here's the problem.. when I want to forward such an email to a friend, Thunderbird ALWAYS formats it as plain ASCII text.. I know this because I look in the "sent mail" folder, and can see that it has turned an HTML email with embedded graphics into plain ASCII text..
I absolutely can't figure out how to get it to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT, so the sender receives it looking the way it looks when I receive it from a mailing list, or an advertiser, or eBay, or whoever..
Is Thunderbird capable of forwarding an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT?.. If so, how / where do I turn on that capability?..
If the capability to do this isn't built into the program, is there an add-on I can install that will give it that ability?..
I am not new to computers.. but this really has me stumped.. I want to put Thunderbird on my 32-bit Vista laptop and stop using its horrible "Windoze Mail" program, which I've been using for years, and is slower than snot, and has all kinds of other problems..
So, assuming whoever reads this FULLY understands my question, PLEASE tell me how to get Thunderbird to have the ability to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics AS-IS, so the receiver(s) I forward it to see it exactly the way I see it when I receive it.. if that ability is built in, please tell me how to turn it on.. if that ability is not built-in, please tell me what add-on I need to install to give Thunderbird this capability.. if Thunderbird absolutely can't forward an HTML email with embedded graphics at all, please also tell me that..
A virtual box of candy and a dozen long-stemmed roses to anyone who can give me a solution that works..
Thanks..

Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..

Color of embedded graphic different in Adobe Reader 9?

Hello,
I have a cross-platform and cross-version issue that I am hoping that this is the right place to get get some insight on. I normally do most of my work on a Mac (OS X 10.5.4 PPC), and created a document in Microsoft Word 2008 (w/latest patches) that has one embedded graphic, a custom black horizontal line that I designed myself as a PNG with some alpha transparency. When I print the document to PDF, either using the built-in renderer or the Acrobat 8 PDF printer installed on the machine, I am able to open the resulting PDF in either Preview or Acrobat 8.1.2 on the same computer and it looks as expected.
However, if I take it over to my PC running Vista SP1 (w/latest patches) and open up the PDF in Acrobat Reader 9.0, the color of the embedded graphic is different, a kind of orange-y brown which looks really horrible; it is as if the normally grayscale embedded image has been tinted. The text of the document remains black, it is only the embedded image that has had its color changed. If I open the Word document on the PC in Word 2007 (again, w/latest patches), however, the embedded graphic looks grayscale, as expected.
I have tried a few things such as specifying the image format as grayscale within Word 2008 before printing to PDF, converting the PNG into GIF with Photoshop CS3 on the Mac (which shows it as grayscale) and re-embedding it and printing to PDF/X instead of PDF, but none of these seem to make any difference.
Unfortunately I don't have access to Acrobat Pro 9.0 for the Mac or Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 for the PC so I cannot tell if it's the switch between platforms or between versions that lies behind the issue, but does anybody have any ideas on how to make it look the same across platforms?
Thanks,
A

There's not really anything you can do with just Reader. The creator of the form set it up to behave this way, by intention or not. It could have been set up so that a user is unable to enter more text than can be displayed in the area defined for the field, and that the font size would automatically decrease as the limit is reached, down to a minimum size of 4. If you know who created the form, you may be able to request a new version.

How does one Float a Graphic Object with Text? (Don't want the Graphics Frame stationary)

I now know just enough InDesign to be dangerous. So, help me from blowing myself up.
SITUATION:
I desire a Callout/Quote Box to emphase a quote--to separate it from the flowing text of the manuscript. So, I created a curved-edge rectangle (graphic object) to make the "box", then filled it with the quoted text). All was well in the land of Adobe Novice UNTIL I deleted some text above the newly-created graphic box/quote box. I need the graphic to flow with (stay embedded in; hold its position in) the text outside the manuscript, not say anchored to page.
QUESTION:
Is there a way to have a graphic object which is placed in a manuscript flow with the manuscript text, so that it "holds its position" relative to the text. For example, if I delete a paragraph of text above the graphic object, I want the graphic object to adjust accordingly.
ASIDE:
I am open to any other tricks or methods others use to insert callout or quote-boxes within the flowing text of a manuscript/book.
Thanks in advance.

Create your callout. If you will use it often, you can actually grab it and drag it to the desktop for reuse in any Document; it becomes an InDesign Snippet (.inds).
Copy the callout graphic, insert your text curser into the text frame where you want the callout. You've just Anchored an Object.
This is where you want to read up on Anchored Objects. You can highlight and baseline shift the callout (often necessay for anchored objects) , change leading, apply text wrap with standoff (you would select it with the selection tool for this), all of which are way beyond what I have ever tried, but managed it in less than 3 minutes. Basically treat it as a selection of type. The challenges will be line breaks, keep with, gosh knows.
Bob mentioned CS5.5 has more friendly features, which I am not familiar with, and are beyond quick replies.
Work through the above at your discretion, ask more DIRECT questions as needed, and you will get help.

SAPScript: Positioning a Window (Graphic) behind the main window

Hello,
I want to print a graphic behind the main window. But I am not able positioning a window or graphic-window behind the main window. The result is that my graphic always shows up in front of the printed text of the main window and not behind the text of the main window, as I wish. I thought that the order of the windows determines which windows is on top? But I am not able of putting a window before the 'MAIN' design window.
Regards, Lars.

Hi Lars
Please check the following thread:

I think, trick must be in 'TYPE'.
Try to explore what options you can have (here it is BMON). I will also try.

Problem with Java scrolling text window on Mac OS

The Java scrolling text window created by AWT "TextArea" scrolls in the normal way from the top on Windows, whereas it scrolls from the bottom on the Mac OS. That is, the text file is first displayed from the bottom on Mac, so that the user has to scroll to the top of the file each time a new page is opened, which is a very nuisance. Have you run into this problem and do you know how to over-ride the Mac OS default? Many thanks.

TextAreas suck in general, this has been discussed many time in the forum. As a duct-tape fix, you might play around with setCaretPosition() after inserting your new text. Good luck

How do I prepare a graphic novel or text novel as an app download?

How do I prepare a graphic novel or text novel or any sort of readable material as an app download thru the App Developer software? Or do I have to buy other electronic publishing software?

The iOS Dev Center is packed with examples and code that is available to all registered devs, but it is up to the individual to learn and create what they need accordingly.
If you require something less daunting, closer to a recipe, Apple recently introduced iBooks Author, which may suit you better.

Embedded Graphics do not show in Links Panel?

I'm guessing this is an embedded graphic. I received a packaged file for print, all is fine, but I'm pondering the "image" shown. (I was curious how they formatted the rules and type and started selecting)
After removing everything else from the document, Find Font show no fonts used; the links panel is empty; info for the frame lists nothing; it is not outlined type. One layer; show hidden characters is on.
The file package report lists Links and Images: 1 link (a stock photo used on page 1), 0 missing, 0 embedded.

I've been playing with building my own "Info" panel. It isn't as pretty as the built-in one, but it gives me better "raw" file format information in some cases. It would be interesting to see what it reports as the object type, if you want to send me your doc ...

Grouping & Back-references with regular expressions on Replace Text window

I really appreciate the inclusion of the Regular Expressions in the search & replace feature. One thing I am missing is back-references in the replacement expression. For instance, in the unix tools vi or sed, I might do something like this:
s/\(firstPart\) \(secondPart\) \(oldThirdPart\)/\2 \1 newThirdPart/g
which would allow me to switch the places of firstPart and secondPart, and totally replace thirdPart. If grouping and back-references are already present in the Replace Text window, how does one correctly invoke them?
