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. :-)

Does anyone know if there is a text box generator for InDesign

Is there a text box generator in InDesign that will allow you to create a text box with XXX amount of words in it? I work for a newspaper pagination desk and we always get asked to keep a hole for a story that may have 500 words in it. If there is such a thing this would be greatly helpful for people in my position to use this and implement it in the whole office so that we could plug in a space and keep a rough idea as to how much space we need.
Thanks in advance for your help

Use Type > Fill with Placeholder Text to generate lots of text. Select some text, then use Window > Info to display the number of selected words. Expand or contract the selection by holding Shift, or Shift+Cmd/Ctrl, and pressing arrow keys. When you have the number of words you want, copy, press Escape, click an empty spot on a page, then paste; the copied text appears in is own text frame. Select the frame and use Object > Fitting > Fit Frame to Content contain all the text within the frame.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign placeholder text" without quotes for info on changing the actual placeholder text, and also info on a text generator.

how do I convert a Pages file (a form) into another programme like Word or InDesign? I do not have Pages

In OS X Pages '09 v4.3, do not be tempted to File > Save... copy as Word document. Instead, you want to export (or Share as Mail), both the PDF and the Word Documents.
If you choose Share > Send as Mail > PDF (and/or Word), make sure that in Apple Mail, that your composition window has Send Windows-Friendly Attachments selected. You can enable this from the paper-clip icon on the Mail composition window toolbar.

How to disable auto clear feature in a text box in IE10

How to disable auto clear button in Text box in IE10
Hi Team,
I saw this question on Microsoft forum but I did not find any reply to this question, therefore, I am re-posting it.
When I run web interface application on IE10, i see there is a new feature which has 'X' at the end of text box and on clicking it it clears the text.
Are there any settings of IE10 that can be changed to disable it or some code snippet?
I find the 'X' sign at the end of text box very annoying and would like to turn it off and make it compatible with older versions of IE and other explorers.
Looking forward to your answer at the earliest.
Regards
Sakshi

Text box columns in InDesign rendering in reverse

Hello!
When I paste text into a text box in InDesign with more than 1 column or thread from another text box, it's started rendering in reverse. Not flipped, but the columns are reading right to left, not left to right. I've obviously accidentally changed a setting somewhere, but can't find it to change it back!
Er... Help?

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.

Lagging when rolling over objects, text boxes, images in indesign CS5

I just installed CS5 suite onto my new upgraded machine. In InDesign, whenever I roll the cursor over and object, image, text box, there is about a 1-2 second lag in the cursor, almost like my system freezes as Indesign differentiates between the bounding boxes. My system is brand new and exceeds all system requiremnts for running CS5. Photoshop renders 3D lightning fast and I have encountered no other issues in any of the other Apps so far. Indesing itself runs fine until there are multiple frames on a page at which point just moving the pointer from one side of the screen to the other results in choppin movements and lag. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Set your Live Screen Drawing preference to delayed. Does that help?

I can't do anything with the text boxes in my InDesign file.

I consider myself pretty good with InDesign. But, right now, I'm totally flummoxed. I've just spent two hours designing a newsletter front and inside front page. I've filled the two text boxes with text that I stole from a Word file. But, now, I can't do anything in those text boxes. I click and nothing happens. Nothing highlights. The frame isn't locked. I don't know what to do. I'm kind of freaked out that InDesign can do this to me.

Feature Request: predefined text

It would be awesome if we could have the possibility of entering some predefined text into a textfield, for example if the content of the textfield is supposed to be a URL, then the field can already contain the "http://" string or any other text that is customizable.

Thanks for the feedback, its very helpful.

Feature Request - More text capability

I use Lightroom for all my photo printing, and would occassionally like to print greeting cards, with titles, location information, etc. printed on the back panel. Unfortunately, the standard text blocks and identity plate don't provide enough options (eg. multiple lines of text - is there a way to do that?) It would be very helpful to have the ability to add text blocks and position them as desired from within Lightroom - eliminating the need to create text in a separate application. I see this included in the books option - can't you add it to other templates as well?
Thanks

Can you create a PDF from the Book Module and print from that? Seems like you might be able to kludge something together, although I haven't given it much thought.

Feature Request: Dynamic Text

As it stands, there is no way to display computed text except by way of an edit_field, which looks like an input to the user.
Please provide a dynamic_text lr-view.
I mean the edit_field would be fine if it didn't have a box drawn around it, and if it wasnt editable... - It can be disabled so it isnt editable, but then it's hard to read (and looks like a disabled input instead of an output).
Thanks,
Rob

Hi,
I've definitely bound the title property of a static_text control in a number of plugins. It works fine so I don't think we need a new dynamic_text control.
The only item you need to be wary of is the width will be set to support the initial value only. So you may need to use fill_horizontal or explicitly set the width value to allow space for the future values it will be displaying.

Feature Request: Ignore text after the first "/" when sorting by artist

Ok, so I figured that when sorting by artist, the word "the" is actually bypassed - Great thing! I've also figured that when I include a "/" after the first artist name (and add another artist), it goes last on it's sort zone. I think it would be nice to bypass the rest of what's written after the first "/", so that when sorting by artist I could get the correct album sequence as well.

Feature Request: Control Text Orientation on Chart Labels

I notice that chart labels will automatically rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise when there is not enough space to display them vertically. However, I would like to be able to control this behavior so that I can make vertical labels when my charts are larger. A simple toggle option would be great.

In the Alerts tab of iChat preferences, select Video Invitation from the Event pop-up menu. Then select the Run Applescript checkbox and select Auto Accept.applescript from the adjacent pop-up menu.
Granted, this doesn't give you password authentication, but I don't believe anything is available for providing that capability.
Hope this helps.

Posting Feature Requests for others to Copy/Paste

I recently posted a Feature Request I sent to Adobe for another member to copy/paste as his own FR since he liked the suggestion (see the FR below).
After doing so, I got the idea that we could all do this: copy/paste FRs we send to Adobe into threads on this forum to help each other support the idea with similar requests, or even copy/paste the FR as our own. With limited resources and time, there's only so many requests Adobe can implement in every new version. That why it's so important that new features the Premiere Pro team invests their hard work and time on be the tools that would benefit the greatest number of editors. The more people back up certain ideas, the more likely they'll be implemented sooner than later.
There's power in numbers, so how about using this forum to share our best ideas and make it easier for others to add their voice of support? It's great that Adobe provides us with a way to send them feedback, but it's too bad that it's a one-way conversation with very little, if any, dialogue back and forth between the submitter and Adobe. That's why I thought it would be great to bring more of that potential dialogue here, where we can share ideas and support the creation of an ever better Premiere Pro!
If you've never posted a FR or BR (Bug Report) before, you can easily join the effort to make Premiere Pro become all that it can be, here: www.adobe.com/go/wish
Comments? Ideas? Please share!
Here's the FR I pasted in another thread, as an example.
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Drag&Drop Modified clips into Project Window
How would you like the feature to work?
Ability to Drag&Drop clips with effects, motion settings, keyframes and/or markers back into the Project Window from the Timeline for later use.
Why is this feature important to you?
The Project Window is far better than Sequences for storing/organizing modified clips for future use, since it is:
Searchable
Sortable
Viewable in Icon and List views
Full of helpful metadata columns such as 'Video/Audio Usage'
Foolproof in that the original sequence can be deleted without losing any created subclips
Given these advantages, why only allow us to store modified clips in Sequences? Please fix this by allowing users to Drag&Drop clips from the Timeline to the Project Window while preserving all of their modifications (effects, keyframes, motion settings and/or markers).

Comments? Ideas? Please share!
As it has already been discussed in this thread (and duplicated threads are not allowed in Adobe Forums), the aforementioned feature request is mainly based on the false statement that an editor can either store raw clips in the Project panel or modified clip in the timeline. That's false because an editor can nest modified clip right in the timeline and the nested sequence will be automatically stored in the Project panel, turning into a regular reusable asset.
Unfortunately, the OP, as was also outlined in the duplicated thread, carefully avoids any mentioning this ability, which becomes your second nature if you use After Effects (which is unlike FCP is a part of Adobe Suite).
However, since the OP asks for sharing ideas, I do not hesitate to do this once again. Here is the feature request intended to improve the usability of such PrPro assets as 'Sequences' without breaking existing workflow:
*******Managing Sequences*******
It would be nice if managing capabilities for such assets as 'Sequences' were extended with the following features:
- similar live thumbnail view, which was introduced for footages in CS6. A small 'Sequence' badge in the top left corner of the thumbnail would allow to differentiate between sequences and clips;
- enabled metadata and ability to handle them like for any other regular asset;
- ability to remove empty audio or video tracks completely, i.e. get a sequence as an Audio or Video asset only;
- pop-up dialog box on hitting 'Nest' command, which would allow to give meaning name instead of default 'Nested Sequence XXX', contain 'Delete All Empty Tracks' checkbox and a button for advanced dialog for logging metadata right on a brand new asset creation.
These features would improve an ability to exploit sequences as reusable assets and preserve consistent applications behaviour throughout the Suite instead of breaking existing workflow by inventing new FCP style 'subclip with effects' type of asset. See this discussion in PrPro Forum for some more details:

Inline Text Boxes getting converted to inline tags on text reflow in parent

Hi,
We extract text from a text box in a Indesign CS3 document. The text box can have inline text boxes. The text of the inline boxes is extracted as well.
The text extracted from all the text frames is processed in an xml and processed. After processing, it is reflown into the boxes.
When we try to import the text in the parent text frame having inline boxes, the inline text boxes are converted to inline tags.
Can we keep the inline text boxes as it is rather than they getting converted to the inline tags.
Thanks.

Hello Harbs,
Thanks for the reply. By recreating the boxes, do you mean to say that we draw the boxes again and place them in the main text frame as an inline box.
But the problem again is that if we attach the xml element of the parent element to the text frame, it will flow all the contents including the inline boxes which will be again convert them to inline tags.
Or is it that we flow the parent text and then look for all the inline tags and draw boxes in place of these tags. But the question here is how do we differentiate between an genuine inline tag and the one which is converted from an inline box.
Can you help in describing the solution in your mind.
Thanks
