Fitting text to new margins

In indesign CS3...when you change the margins in the master and apply the changes to the document...how do you automatically change the text frame to fit the new margins? I can do it manually, but my document is 590 pages long.
Thanks,
Jana

Gee cool, thanks.
Wish there was some video or book specifically for creating books in indesign
Perhaps I might bother you for one more question if you are up for it.
I needed to put more gutter space on the inside of the pages as the book is so big...
is there any publishing difference between putting more space on the inside margin itself or on the gutter, or simply more on both?

Can't resize column to fit text

Can't resize column to fit text in numbers. option is "grayed-out" no matter what I do

It is either a glitch or a rather unfun new thing. No one knows for sure. You do have a bit more control if you go into your photos app, find your photo and tap on the little box with the arrow poking out of it. That allows you to send it to be wallpaper. You can do some scaling, although not as much as you used to.
Finding work arounds is about all you can do until it's fixed.

Format bold text in field and putting some text on new line - Help!

I am lost. I found the rich text formating item to click. But after that, I don't know what to do next. I want to bold some characters and I want some reponses on separate lines as I asked previously. As to spans and the commands - I have no programming experience. I have just been using what George has given me. It has worked well, but I just need the bold text in some of the field text to be printed and I need some items to be on separate lines. But I have no idea where to put the information you are saying about spans and I do not know the script to use to bold text or to start text on new line. Am I to insert it in the calculation box of the text box? Sorry to be so lame, but I am void in programming skills. Help!
For example, here is the script. In aISOreq{0], if I want to bold "Patter#1 Check:", where do I put the span and what script do I use to say to bold it.   Could you give me an example, please. Also, if I want to put "a. Medications on weekend?" on one line and "b. Activities on weekends? Types of activities? Supervision? With who?" on the next line, where do I put the span and what script do I use to say to put on separate lines? Could you give me an example for this also, please. I have literally just used the scripts George has given me and they work great - but that is all I know how to do. Thanks.

Look at the reference of the richValue property of the Field object. It contains a couple of examples of how it should be done. Also read the reference of the Span object.

Fitting text to frame.

Hi, from what I read, there is no real option to auto fit text to text frame like you can do for an image so looking for a work around. We load a lot of data from xml files into pre-built assets through Apple Scripts so want to try to avoid having designer go in and manually fix the exceptions that don't fit. I've been trying to use a paragraph style's justification options to do and it seems do a little of what we need but seems to only do if no spaces in text like 123456789012345678901234567890 then it will squeeze it on one line but if 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890, it will not. Not sure if this is the best way or not. Here is what I have in my paragraph style

The last thing you want to do is scale your text horizontally or vertically to fit copy to a page. I'd only ever do this for text that needs some sort of special effect look or something. I think it's pretty bad for anyone to use scaling to fit copy to a page to bring back two lines.
What you can do is look at the leading, perhaps reduce it by .25pts or something for the page.
Or select all the text and reduce the space between the letters http://www.adobe.com/education/webtech/CS2/unit_planning1/idb2_leadkrntrak.htm
But you don't want to overdo it, or the text will look all squashed up and unreadable.
I usually go for about -5pt, but no more than that.
I'm sure others would have their methods too, but scaling or squishing text using horizontal or vertical scaling just distorts the shape of the letters.
Ultimately you don't want to change anything and perhaps look at other elements on the page that you could alter to bring back the two lines.

Shortcut for Fit text on Box?

Hi guys,
Is there any way or shortcut for Illustrator CS 5 to Fit Texts as the same lenght of the Box Frame? This is a image sample
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1PwekCEGe3qN6mrq24V3UHC86svK8
i have a shortcut in InDesign to do this and it is very useful when aligning differente text frames. If the frame does not fit its text content the alignment is not right. I know i can do it by hand, but when you have many blocks is way time consuming.
Any help or ideas?
Cheers,
S

On the other hand, it is nice the script adjust to the text frame but i guess it would be nicer if the fit would adjust to the right lenght of the text.
"Length" should be avoided when describing dimensions. It can be interpreted as either horizontal or vertical. Use "height" and "width", not length. Better still, explicitly state horzontal or vertical.
What would be nicer is for Adobe to take a look at its other vector drawing program (FreeHand) and discover a far superior interface for text objects. Then trash Illustrator's entirely ill-conceived, cumbersome, unintuitive, and limited "Area Type" vs. "Point Type" distinction.
Enable the user to set any text object to auto-expand and auto-fit its contents either horizontally or vertically. FreeHand users have been able to do this to any text object with a mere double-click for decades. This can also be set to all the text objects in the document at once--a huge advantage for avoiding accidental overset text in map projects where hundreds of street labels are subject to the risk.
InDesign needs this almost as badly.

My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?

My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?

Yes to receive an iMessage the recipient would need an iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and an internet connection. This is a messaging serviceprovided by Apple so the recipient does not need to check emails. If the contact does not have internet access at the time the iMessage is sent then a normal SMS through your carrier can be sent instead if you have "Send as SMS" turned on in Settings>Messages.

Losing active text in new quick reply

I am reading email, I receive a text in new pop up window, I start typing quick reply, the person sends another text, thr new text overwrites the previous box, I cant find everything I started typing!!

So, I figured out that some time on Thursday, 17 January (for me, at least) Yahoo! email began disallowing those of us who choose to use Mozilla Firefox (17 or 18) with tracker blockers like Ghostery and AdBlock Plus's Fanboy's Tracking List from sending outgoing email. Any email to which I replied was populated with the phrase
"Yahoo! Mail found the original email, but encountered problems displaying it. Please try again later."
and I could not even address, let alone send, a new email.
I'm not yet sure which particular trackers I needed to allow so that I can send outgoing email, but I do know that if I whitelist "mail.yahoo.com" in Ghostery and turn off AdBlock Plus's Fanboy's Tracking List, then I can again send email via Yahoo! email. Probably ScoreCard Research and Right Media need to be allowed, since those pop up in every Yahoo! email, but I'm sure there are others with which Yahoo! wants to track their users.
I'm not sure why they would do this, other than the obvious, to track their users. But there are repercussions that will cost them. I was happy to see SSL implemented recently on Yahoo! email, but after this move, they've made me search for a new, reliable, secure email service for the first time since the 90s, and when I find one (suggestions?), I'll never think about Yahoo! again.

Illustrator CS6 - Fit Text to Shape

I am trying to fit text to a shape without warping the text (i.e. not using envelope warp). The shape is a simple rectangle with a rounded top and I just want the top of the text to form around that curve, leaving the bottom and sides as is. I know this is a very simple task in Illustrator but for some reason I'm not getting it and the envelope warp is doing just that - warping all of the text. What am I missing?

SMB,
The other non distorting automatic way is Area Type. You may select Align Center in the Paragraph palette, then click the top of the path with the Area Type Tool and start writing (with the right settings in the Character palette).
If you need the topmost line/part of type to be warped, that is another matter.

Help with adjusting layout, re-sizing text frames and images to fit new margin?

i'm using InDesign CS5.5. I have a layout with several text frame boxes as well as some jpg and pdf images. I'm expanding the margin on one side and want to expand the text frames to utilize the extra space rather than just shift everything over. I've used the adjust layout script (which still requires some manual adjustment after) and obviously everything can be done manually but I'm looking for a more efficient solution. One challenge is that my pdf image needs to be re-sized separately to maintain scale of the image, the text frames just expand horizontally. What I would like is to have is a script that can do all of this at once, or is there a way to save the layout settings and apply them to my other documents? I have almost 300 documents to adjust... Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks.

It could probably be modified to run on all open docs or a folder. You should ask over in scripting. InDesign Scripting

Dynamically size movieclip to fit text's string height and width

Hello,
I am trying to dynamically size a movieclip to fit the size of a text's string height and width (This text is inside the movieclip)
here is my code so far..
var Font1_ = new Font1();
var Format2:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
Format2.size = 36;
Format2.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
Format2.font = Font1_.fontName;
var MessageBox:MovieClip = new MessageBoxMC();
MessageBox.Text1.defaultTextFormat = Format2;
MessageBox.Text1.embedFonts = true;
MessageBox.Text1.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
MessageBox.Text1.wordWrap = true;
MessageBox.Text1.width = 800;
MessageBox.Text1.height = 400;
MessageBox.Text1.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
MessageBox.Text1.cacheAsBitmap = true;
MessageBox.Text1.mouseEnabled = false;
MessageBox.Text1.text = String("Use the Arrow Buttons to move");
MessageBox.width = MessageBox.Text1.width;
MessageBox.height = MessageBox.Text1.height;
MessageBox.x = 400;
MessageBox.y = 200;
addChild(MessageBox);
this isn't working for me.. anyone know the best way to do this?
I also want the text to be centered in the movieclip, with a border of around 2-4 pixels
I am also not sure if i should be using text.length? any advice and input is greatly welcomed.
thanks in advance!

Essentially, you need to check for a change in .textWidth or .textHeight, which are different from .width and .height.
This code works for me (assumes a background box called bg and a foreground text instance fg inside a moveclip and an X and Y bounds offset variable to say how far away you want the box from the text and a textFrameNudge to provide a tweak value).
     // Resize background box
     thisBox.bg.x = thisBox.fg.x - boundsOffsetX + textFrameNudge; // I'm using .4 as the tweak value for textFrameNudge
     thisBox.bg.y = thisBox.fg.y - boundsOffsetY;
     thisBox.bg.width = thisBox.fg.textWidth + boundsOffsetX*2 +textFrameNudge*thisBox.fg.getTextFormat().size;
     thisBox.bg.height = thisBox.fg.textHeight + boundsOffsetY*2;

Expanding text fields to fit text

I have a customer who would like to be able to put large amounts of text into a text field and have it all print. The amount of text can vary, so he would like to have a box where he can enter the text and have the box size adjust to the amount of text entered, even to the point of adding extra pages if necessary. I have tried using the Expand to Fit option, but all that seems to do it allow the text to scroll while the box stays the same size. Is this something that is even possible? If so, how? Thanks.

Hi there,
Usually the "Expand to Fit" option under the Height property of the object is what you need.
You also would have to make sure that your text field is "Allow Multiple Lines" & Field Format set to "Rich Text"
Parents objects (subforms & page) are "Allow Page Breaks Within Content" and the Content set to "Flowed"
And once those settings are set make sure that your text field is Expand to Fit on the Height property!
Hope this help!

Iphone 5 not getting text from new numbers?

im on ios 7.0.4. Recently, ive been having the problem of not getting messages from new numbers. I receive all texts and calls from all current phone numbers ive ever had contact with. But for the past month, any new numbers that text me first, i do not receive them. But if i text and or call them first, it works fine. Which isnt always a convinence. They sent me screen shots of my number and their text; they all have different phones on different services.

Perk123, this is a text messaging mystery! I'm on the case. I recommend that delete all unwanted text messages on your device and power it off/on to soft reset it.
You will also need to advise your friend that has the AT&T iPhone to reset the network on their device. This can be done by accessing Settings >General >Reset >Reset Network.
Lastly your friend needs to verify if your contact has been set up to block calls and text messages from your mobile number. This option is located in Contacts >your contact> Block this caller.
Keep us posted.

How can i AppendText to richTextBox only if the text is new(different) from the text that is already in the richTextBox ?

Code
public void ScrollNews()
listsext.Ext(page);
combindedString = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, ListsExtractions.myList);
richTextBox1.SelectAll();
richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
richTextBox1.AppendText(combindedString);
scrollerText = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, ListsExtractions.myListWithoutLinks);
scroller1.TextToScroll = scrollerText;
if (NewsLevels.newsLevel && NewsLevels.shouldStart)
UpdateTextControls();
scroller1.Start();
NewsLevels.shouldStart = false;
if (NewsLevels.newsLevel == false && NewsLevels.shouldStart)
UpdateTextControls();
scroller1.Start();
NewsLevels.shouldStart = false;
string[] rlines = richTextBox1.Lines;
richTextBox1.SelectionStart = 0;
richTextBox1.SelectionLength = rlines[0].Length;
richTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red;
richTextBox1.Select(rlines[0].Length, rlines[1].Length + 1);
richTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Green;
RedColorAlert1();
if (lines == null)
label5.Text = "0";
else
label5.Text = lines.Length.ToString();
The line is:
richTextBox1.AppendText(combindedString);
I'm calling this method ScrollNews every X minutes with a timer.
The way it is now it will AppendText all the time. But i want it to Add the combinededString only if the text in combindedString was different from the text that is already in the richTextBox. Somhow to keep all the time the last text and compare it and
if there is a new text then appen it.

public void Scroll()
listsext.Ext(page);
combindedString = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, ListsExtractions.myList);
richTextBox1.SelectAll();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append(combindedString);
richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
richTextBox1.AppendText(combindedString);
The problem is that now it will keep adding to the richTextBox the content in combindedString over and over again. I need somehow to check each time if the content in combindedString already exist in the richTextBox if not meaning it's new content then AppendText
it.
If it's the same already exist do nothing don't add it.
EDIT
I write to a text file the content of the ombindedString variable .The first content the lines is the combindedString:

And this is a screenshot i couldnt copy the text of the richTextBox1.Text
richTextBox1.Text content image
co uld be that the format of the text in the combindedString and the richTextBox1.Text looks different so it think it's not exist ?
Update:
Not sure if it's important but the combindedString i'm adding the text to it from the variable ListExtractions.myList
myList is List and i build this List like that:
private void ListToStringList(List<string> myl)
for (int i = 0; i < AllNews.Count; i++)
myl.Add(AllNews[i].text);
IFormatProvider provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
DateTime myTime = DateTime.ParseExact(AllNews[i].original_time, "DyyMMddTHHmm", provider);
string results = myTime.ToString("HH:mm דווח במקור בתאריך : dd.MM.yy : שעה");
myl.Add(results);
myl.Add(AllNews[i].link);
myl.Add(Environment.NewLine);
myListWithoutLinks.Add(AllNews[i].text);
myListWithoutLinks.Add(results);
myListWithoutLinks.Add(Environment.NewLine);
for (int i = 0; i < myl.Count; i++)
myl[i] = Regex.Replace(myl[i], @"\t|\n|\r", "");
And use it:
ListToStringList(myList);
