Find overflow Text

Hi every one
is there a script that help to find the text boxes with overflow text (like in indesign with overset text)

Here is how to select the text frame.
textFrame.GraphicIsSelected = 1;
You can go to the page by using something like this with FrameScript:
Set doc.CurrentPage = textFrame.Page;
Unfortunately, ExtendScript doesn't have this .Page shortcut, so you will have to figure out how to navigate from the textFrame object to the Page object. If your text frames are always in an anchored frame directly inside the main text flow, then it is pretty straightforward. However, you may want to make a general purpose function where you can find the Page object for any FrameMaker object, regardless of where it is on the page. You should pose this as a separate discussion on the list. If I have time, I will try to work out the code for you.

  • [JS][CC] How can I get the last visible character in an overflowed Text Frame?

    Hello
    I'm new in InDesign scripting in javascript. I would like to know if there is a way to get the position of the last character in a Text Frame that is overflowed? I need this because I want to calculate how many characters are hidden (overflowing text) via script.
    I've searched in the forums about this but what I find is always a script for alerting if there's overset text or not.
    I'd really appreciate any help!

    Well, let's say that myFrame is an overflowing text frame.
    So, the last character in that frame would be
    myFrame.characters[-1];
    To calculate the number of overflowing characters, select the
    overflowing text frame, and run this script:
    myFrame = app.selection[0];
    myParentStory = myFrame.parentStory;
    alert("Number of overflowing characters is
    "+myParentStory.characters.itemByRange(myFrame.characters[-1],
    myParentStory.characters[-1]).length-1);

  • 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. :-)

  • Tcode FV50: How to find long text in FI Document line item Before Saving.

    Hi,
    How to find long text in FI Document line item.
    During Parking of the FI document through Tcode FV50 i m giving the some text in the long text not in the text field.
    I would like to validate the Long Text Before Saving in user exit "U300" under  the  "Sunstitution" .
    Please anybody can be help me out where exactly this long text is going to be stored or in which internal table or memory id.
    Please give me the answer as soon as possible .
    Note:- Read_Text function module is not useful. Because Read_text useful after saving document.

    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.
    Here utmost care should be taken while running regeneration program, you should select all the checkboxes in the selection screen except  GENERATE SETS, GEN SUBSTN ROUTNS IN ALL CLNTS  & TRACE PROG. GENERATE CALLS .
    Hope this make your doubt clear.

  • Can't view overflow text in document sent for commenting

    We use Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows in my office. When my coworker sends me a pdf form document for commenting (through the commenting menu), and that document contains form fields with overflow text, I can't get a scroll bar and can't access the overflow text. I do see the + overflow text indicator in the lower right corner of the field, but can't activate it by clicking on it. On the other hand, if my coworker sends me the same form document as a simple attachment, I can get to the overflow text with no problem. We're using Windows XP on Dell desktop computers. Thanks for any solutions.
    Paul

    If a document is enabled for commenting, all form fields are disabled. If extended for use with Reader (i.e., Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader), both commenting and certain forms usage rights (and a few others) are enabled. But if you have Acrobat Pro, she shouldn't need to do anything more than send the original document that has not been enabled for commenting. You only need to do that for Reader users.

  • [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<br />results, changing the color one at a time. It'll be a fraction slower, but<br />should do the trick:<br /><br />tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"<br />    set find text preferences to nothing<br />    set properties of find text preferences to {applied paragraph style:"The<br />name"}<br />    set theFinds to find text document 1<br />    repeat with i from 1 to count of theFinds<br />        set properties of item i of theFinds to {fill color:"Replace color"}<br />    end repeat<br />end tell<br /><br />The bug is fixed in CS4, BTW.<br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <[email protected]><br />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;

  • 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

  • Overflow text on PDF form

    I created art in inDesign and created forms in Acrobat 9. The issue is that when people fill in the form box with too much info the additional info does not display and cannot be printed. I have been given a sample form created in LiveCycle Designer which shows overflow text on a second page.
    Questions is - can I do the same function in Acrobat 9 or do I need to work with LiveCycle? That is show overflow text on another page/s. The document we are working is 24 pages long with about 24-28 questions which may have 3-7 sub questions.

    Hi Joko,
    I'd like to assist!
    Do you happen to have the latest Reader update?
    It could also be the form you are trying to fill out. Have you tried opening an old form you have had success filling out?
    Looking forward to hearing back from you!

  • 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.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • How can I find a text box with a specific word in it ?

    Hi,
    I have hundreds of settlement names on a map created with the text tool. How can I search on the name of one of them and find it on my map ?
    I am with FH9 but the method would no doubt be backwards compatible from MX. If it isnt I would launch MX just for this exercise.
    Would this also work if the word was part of a text box text ?
    I have the luxury of it being the entire text box !
    Cheers
    Envirographics

    If you have one large text box to search for the word, select it, then go to EDIT>FIND & REPLACE>TEXT...
    Type in your word and click FIND NEXT button.  If you have multiple occurances of the name, keep clicking the FIND NEXT button until the word hilites.
    If you have scattered text boxes on your map, don't select any of them but still go through the EDIT>FIND & REPLACE>TEXT... routine I mentioned. FreeHand will look through all text boxes to find your word.
    Oh yeah, this works the same in FreeHand 8 thru FHMX.
