Find dropped text?

Hello,
I produce a 2-page newsletter for my college using InDesign CS2 4.0.5; each monthly edition has 10-15 short articles submitted by faculty. My job, as editor, is simply to arrange and size/format the texts. Always there are last minute edits from the review board, which can shorten or lengthen an article, so to meet our print deadline, I have to scramble to re-size textboxes or whatever needs to be done to make everything fit. Twice now, I failed to note that a sentence or short paragraph has dropped out of a textbox. I know about the small symbol at the lower right corner but in all the haste I don't always see it.
QUESTION: other than checking each textbox individually, is there a way to catch this mistake? is there an InDesign command to run on a "finished" file that would find dropped text and alert me with an error message/warning?
thanks,
Linda

Another way I've seen recommended -- though it DOES require action on your part to actually check -- is to zoom way, way out so you see all of the pages at a tiny size. The "overset text warning" boxes do not shrink, and are much easier to catch.

Drag and Drop Text in FrameMaker 10

I just installed TCS 3 with Frame 10. Prior to this release I could triple-click a paragraph and select the following (or previous) paragraphs by dragging the mouse. Now in Frame 10 after I triple-click, Frame thinks that I want to drag and drop text rather than simply selecting text. It only selects the one word on which the mouse cursor rests and insists on prompting me to drag the text somewhere. If I triple-click and release the mouse button, then the whole para is selected, but I cannot select any more text because I have already released the mouse.
How do I turn off the drag and drop text feature? I'm finding this "enhancement" frustrating at best.

AFAIK, the drag'n drop facility is hardwired into the code, so you can't change the behaviour. However, if you've made a paragraph selection using a triple-click, you can select additiona paragraphs by holding down the shift key and single-clicking at the point that you wish your selection to extend to.

It can be fairly involved once you realize how many aspects need to be dealt with. You'll need to find a tutorial that teaches you how to use drag and drop involving targets so that when you drop something you check if it hit a valid target (textfield in your case) and then process your text into that target. You should try searching Google using terms like "AS3 drag drop tutorial" and "AS3 dropTarget tutorial"   Here's a link from the latter of the two that has links to tutorials that might help.

Upgraded to Adabe 10.1x reader and drag and drop text problems

I cannot drag and drop text from my saved PDF files to word files or for example, into online forms since upgrading to Adobe new reader version today. How can this problem be resolved?

So after a month of trying to figure all this out I FINALLY fixed the problem!
Before you do anything just go to your destop > right click personalize (this is for windows 7 - might be different for XP; I honestly forgot, but same idea) > find "window color" > select "advance appearance settings
(I think can be found by just typing "window color and appearance" in the search from the start menu).
Finally select "active title bar" (If the font is SEGOE UI, then following the link is the best thing to do; IF ITS NOT, I would think you can just follow the same steps and modify accordingly to how you want your fonts to look in iTunes). http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/how-to-change -system-default-font-in-all-parts/dfce15db-7337-420a-a42e-517521a8502e

In Design CS4 drops text when opening

We have an issue involving opening pre existing ID files doesn’t matter which version they were created in, and when they are opened and you are prompted to find fonts and you replace them with our fonts, which by the way are the Adobe OTF Master Collection, text drops randomly throughout the file. The actual text box is still there but it is empty. We have this issue with customer submitted files also. For example, if the file was created in ID CS2 and you open it in its native version it is fine, same thing with files created in CS3, but when you try it in CS4 you run the risk of losing text. Even after you replace the text that is missing, the next time you open that file if it happens to be on another machine you run the risk of dropping text again. Even when you open it on the original machine there is a chance of dropping text. PLEASE HELP!

Well you are not the only, we have tried so many different things, I have
Adobe looking into also and have not heard anything yet.

Hi Amit,
In application area FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING , go for node LINE ITEM. Here create a step & maintain the prerequisite as per your requirement & in the check you can mention the code or you can direct it to a custom program like ZFI_RGGBR000.
Here while maintaining the check you will get structures BKPF & BSEG in which you will get the desired field you are looking for.
Just try to explore in your system how the other validations are maintained.
After you are done with all your code, you have to run the regeneration program RGUGBR00.

[AS] CS3- Find any text with style, then replace that text with a new applied fill color.

I am trying to find the simplest way in cs3 to find any text with style, then replace that text with a new fill color. I can find text and change text. I can find a style and change it to a new style. I can't seem to find a style and change the applied fill color. I do not want to change the properties of the style, just the applied color. Yes, I want the + sign, for now. I know, why not update the style, I am not allowed to. Any help would be great. Since the search is not available, I need a new response.
Thanks.

You can work around the bug by just doing a find, then looping through the results, changing the color one at a time. It'll be a fraction slower, but should do the trick: tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3" set find text preferences to nothing set properties of find text preferences to {applied paragraph style:"The name"} set theFinds to find text document 1 repeat with i from 1 to count of theFinds set properties of item i of theFinds to {fill color:"Replace color"} end repeat end tell The bug is fixed in CS4, BTW. -- Shane Stanley <[email protected]> AppleScript Pro Florida, April 2009 <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>

Use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it

I am trying to use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it.
(This is in a Function.)
Let's say ParmIn_Look_For has a value of 'black dog'. I want to see if
ParmIn_Search_This_String has 'black dog' anywhere in it. But it gives an error
Syntax error on command line.
If ParmIn_Look_For is just 'black' or 'dog' it works fine.
Is there some way to put single quotes/double quotes around ParmIn_Look_For so this will
look for 'black dog' ??
Also: If I want to use the option of ignoring white space, is the last parm
'ix' 'i,x' or what ?
SELECT
REGEXP_INSTR(ParmIn_Search_This_String,
'('||ParmIn_Look_For||')+', 1, 1, 0, 'i')
INTO Position_Found_In_String
FROM DUAL;
Thanks, Wayne

Maybe something like this ?

How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.

How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.
If I select the text layer and click the text style button in the library it just creates a new text style for Myriad Pro 12pt - I'm not using that anywhere in my document.
Can anyone help? Seems like a bug to me as I'm trying what the video tutorials are saying.

I realize AI is an illustration program.
Do you realize it is an object-based vector-based program? Do you know the difference between raster-based and vector-based content?
My question seems to be all over the forum but no one has been able to answer other than exporting to these file formats, which make text look awful and of no use....
And yet everyone else in the world makes proper web images every day using a plethora of programs, including these...go figure.
Am I missing something?
Yep. Pretty much.
Hello Adobe! People use transparency on website logos.
Hello, cocteau! What you're calling "transparency" is inherent to object-based vector artwork. But web browsers don't support object-based vector artwork, except via file formats like Flash and SVG, or by viewing as a PDF in a plug-in version of Reader. Raster imaging in general only supports "transparency" by either indexing a specific color (i.e.; "don't display this color", as in GIF) or including an alpha channel (i.e.; "blend all the pixels with existing pixels, based on values from this extra channel", as in PNG). It's all in the raster file format you use, cocteau; it has little-to-nothing to do specifically with Adobe software. Such things are among the most basic matters understood by someone doing web design.
When I export an eps from .ai file, and open the eps in photoshop,...I save as a gif for the web, it goes back to the original problem...creates jagged text. I"m giving up on this garbage...Thanks a lot adobe! Lower the price of this software if this is all that can be done.
Once it leaves Photoshop (or Illustrator, or whatever) as a non-proprietary raster image format, it's all about what the format can do re "transparency". You can do this stuff with most any graphics program. You should read about basic web design and the differences between raster and vector content, rather than rant.

How to find the text of a viwe

How to find the text of a view?
I tried all_views but it only types the partial text. What can be the problem and the possible solutions?
Naveen

We also found there was a "COL TEXT A80" in our glogin.sql. I don't know whether we put it there or whether it was installed by default. This resulted in some views which had been defined with longer lines having words chopped in half, which is no good for creating scripts. Therefore when selecting view text I also issue a

Using CTRL + F not working to find any text within the query result

Hi friends,
I am trying to use find option to find any text within the result section of a query but when I do CTRL+F the find window appears and I can input the text that I wanted. But when I press Enter it is not giving me any result though the entered text
is in the query result. I am using Sql Server 2012 Management studio. Any Body please help me. There is a job that I have to search certain things after running a script and now I am doing copy paste to excel and doing searching from there.

Prashant,
Looks like you are trying to do in SSMS, and it is because the result set is in Grid view , if you want to use CTL + F then your result should be in Text format, try to do using CTL + T ( To get result in Text) and then use CTL + F to find any
text.

Finding a text in All vi in memory - nightmare

Hello All
Quite often it happens that I need to search through all vi in memory to find some text. Some of vis in memory are password protected, and I do not want to search them. But LV keeps asking for a password to those vi and it takes ages to search through those vi.
Is there a way to tell LV not to search in vi, which are pasword protected?
I could not find any option in LV configuration.
Thanks in advance.
Pawel

Hi,
If you have the passwords, you can put them in the password cache (by using
them once). Guess you would have done that if you had the passwords.
If all passwords are different, you can make a vi to open them dynamically,
each with it's own password. Still, you need the passwords...
Regards,
Wiebe.
