Flowing images/text?

I am using InDesign CS5.5 and need to flow multiple images into pre-designed frames and names into pre-designed text boxes under each frame. I have looked at data merge, anchoring, etc, but haven't found anything that will do exactly what I need .... yet. I have attached an Indesign file image(sorry, I don't see where I can attach the actual file) I put together to show you exactly what I mean. Can this be done?
I know how to link the text boxes and flow the names into place, but how can I flow the images as well? I need to make a composite similar to below, but on a MUCH larger scale; 400-500 images/names, AND the probability of having to either take out or put in images/names 2-3 separate times is very high. So...to make this layout work the most efficiently, I need be able to flow the images/names multiple times.
Bottom line is I need to set up my image frames to a certain size over the entire page, then flow images to the frames and names to the text boxes under each frame.
ideas?

I don't know a way to flow images but you can place them in a quick way by clicking place from file menu then you can select and place multiple images, then click to place the first image then press the left/right arrow key to navigate through your images and click again each time you place an image. Check this link you will find more details under the title "Place mutiple graphics":

Flowing Images

Does anyone know how to make images flow like text? Is there any software that will easily allow us to put images in a specific order without having to copy and paste all of the images. We are looking to create a "Trader" type publication that lists items by city,type,and price. We do not want to have to update these listings manually every month. Please help!

Image Text Wrapping html/css

Ok, I've searched around and I don't think this is possible but...
Every example of image text wrapping I can find requires that you put the <img> into your html before or after a paragraph. I'd like have it so that I can move my image anywhere on the left side of my div box and the text will flow around it. My concern is that I want my image placed on the left side but in the middle of a paragraph so that text from the paragraph wraps all around it on the top, right, and bottom.
I realize that you can insert an <img> in the middle of the words to the paragraph and float left in css but my problem with that is it seems if the text gets resized in a browser or something it won't naturally flow with the image but yet get stuck there and get funky.
Did I lose you guys? Any ideas? Is this possible?
Thanks again

To answer your question, you can place a floated image anywhere you wish but it will never look or stay exactly where you put it when text size is increased. Remember, print design is static, web design isn't. You can use EMS instead of pixels to keep things a bit more uniform when text sizes change.

Finder Cover Flow image preview size is small, cannot be adjusted and showing empty blank previews in Mavericks

When using Cover Flow the image preview in the main window (not the thumbnail list at the bottom) images appear but only use about 1/2 of the window space available. It is also showing black/blank preview images as I scroll through the files even though they are cached.
I enlarge the Finder to fill my 27 inch display, slide the size adjustment handle (three lines under the file name preview) all the way down as far as I can. The preview only enlarges to a certain point leaving the upper half of the window unused. I wish to enlarge the cover flow preview images to use this window space even if it affects the overlapping or number of cover flow images avaialble in the window. I am assuming this is becasue of the nature of cover flow showing the two previous and two following images to the left and right of the previewed image. As I scroll left and right occsionally one of the upcoming images will appear as and empty preview as well. It's all goofed up.
Hoping for any suggestions.
I have seen articles about using terminal to adjust "flow height" but never anything substainial that seemend like an informed solution.

I also would like to know if there is an answer to this. My landscape photos always display with a third of the cover flow window as blank empty space (matching your screenshot). This seems like such a waste. Is there any way to change the "padding" between the top of the finder bar and the cover flow preview?

Cover Flow images don't fill Finder window?

Hi everyone,
I like to use Finder in Cover Flow mode to browse through images. However, if I expand Finder to fill the whole screen, and I expand the Cover Flow pane to take up most of the screen, the Cover Flow images don't expand to fill up the Cover Flow pane. I have the High Res screen, so maybe it looks normal on a lower res screen but I think it's odd that Cover Flow doesn't try to expand the images to fil the space. Is this behaviour normal and is there a way to change it?
Cheers,
Jim

Solved the problem myself. I retyped the name of each folder (same name) under Pictures and added a space plus #1 after each folder name. Images appeared almost immediately on the content pane after that was done. Later I will then open up on my hard drive, under Cover Flow, two windows....one from the Pictures Folder and the other one from the Window Documents that contain the images transferred from an old hard drive. I will then select the images I want to keep and drag and drop the images from the Window Documents to the sub-folders in Pictures and that should do it. Attempting to do it from within Bridge will cause the images in Pictures to disappear so this other way is safer. Then I will trash my Window Document folder when I'm done. If anyone has experience this problem this might be a way to see if my solution might work for you. (I formerly had a window system and now have a iMac).

If Image is Saved As a Text, Would the Image Text, As a Link, Be Indexed by Search Engines.

Hi I want to put a text long the height of the brown box.
The text would be vertical as one looking at the page.
I believe with page make the text can be rotated.
If Image is Saved As a Text, Would the Image Text, As a Link, Be Indexed by Search Engines.
or how else to do this?
an

If Image is Saved As a Text
Impossible. It's either image or text. Save a JPEG as a Word document. Try it. Seriously, change the file extension, open it in Word and see what happens.
Would the Image Text, As a Link,
Huh? You lost me here.
Be Indexed by Search Engines.
Indexing of search engines. Yes, Google sees links and Google sees alt text for images. Google does not see images nor Flash.

How to display embedded image & text in content presenter web template

We have a requirement to display both text and embedded image together like in WYSIWYG editor in Webcenter spaces. The content has to be dynamic and is context sensitive so that users in the same role can edit and publish the content. The users who are in different role would see different piece of content.
To achieve this use case, i think Content Presenter enabled with Site studio is the best choice. I have created element and region definitions with WYSIWYG and region templates in site studio. Created contributor data file in UCM. Content Presenter in webcenter is configured with that region definition and the region template etc.
At design time, the contributor data file is edited and some image / text is added in WYSIWYG editor.. But however at runtime view, i could see only the text added in WYSIWYG editor and the file name of the image embedded....Any one successfully used Content Presenter with Site studio???

Is there a way to add images , text and button in the individual marquee of a carousel

Is there a way to add images , text and button in the individual marquee of a carousel ?

Write a custom carousel. Usually carousel components are just ULs that use something like jQuery to rotate through the LIs. The foundation carousel component is really just designed for some specific use cases. Generally I would just recommend rolling your own.

Cover Flow image different from

Most of the time, the album artwork in Cover Flow is identical to that on the thumbnail image in the bottom left corner of my screen (sorry - don't know the correct term for it). However, on occasional tracks they're different.
I think I know why, but don't know what to do about it...
I have a huge collection of old singles that I digitised. There being no album title, I created one called Singles and it keeps them all together. The thumbnail image always varies with the track but the Cover Flow image only displays the artwork of the first track by that particular artist (so for example, the Cover Flow artwork for all Elvis Presley singles is the same, and it's the first one in the list).
I'd be grateful for any ideas for how I can correct this?

Well, I'd have to set something up like that to check....but I don't have a bunch of singles hanging around.
The closest I have to it is Tori Amos' +Strange Little Girls+. Each track has a different picture on the actual CD, so I scanned those in.
Cover flow shows the artwork from track 1. The other tracks only show their specific artwork when they are selected, and only becaue I went to the artwork tab and dragged around the images so the one I wanted was first in thebox.

Cover flow images

cover flow images look terrible, like out of focus, like being displayed in a different resolution. images are higher than 1024x798. is the a setting somewhere to adjust this
new to the mac osx just installed 10.5

It's not that simple. If there is no preview it does indeed create one, but mine are really poor quality. If there are existing previews it seems to use those. The image used in cover flow is not (necessarily) the one you get when you select Get Info. I've found some where the image is completely different because the image got edited at sometime and one of the previews never got updated. I've no idea how to fix this easily though.
I found some files that had reasonable previews in cover flow, but now they've been replaced by poor quality ones.

While generating PDF from webpage or website some of the images/texts doesnt show up in PDF. Also, there are a lot of formatting inconsistencies.

Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs ! ! !

Can anyone please help, the websites hosted with us are developed on adobe CQ5.4 content management tool and when they are exported to PDF some of the images / texts doesn't get generated in the PDF. Also, the css /theme doesn't get generated resulting in formatting inconsistencies.
However, if the same website is generated using some online PDF converters all Images & texts are coming fine with correct formatting.
Is this issue due to using CQ CMS as that has a lot of components or is there a limitation with Acrobat XI pro trial version or anything else ?
Appreciate if some one could provide inputs.
Thanks

Missing "Charts, Images, Text Labels" demo from iWorks Numbers page.

Really just an issue with the number iWorks page on the website.
At the address below, Apple has a few watchable demos:

Image,Text drag in applet

Hai there,
I want to allow a user to show an image and /or text on applet
and must allow it to be dragged.
I am able to do them separately oe. can drag image or text but
when both are present they act as single unit while dragging.
How should i allow each one to be dragged separately ?
Should i use seperate threads for both of them?

Background, Images, & text is blacked out. I can not see any menus to edit anything...
The curser shows there are links when you move over. I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and restarted my computer with no luck.
I can not see the menus to try and reset Firefox or change any settings.
HELP Please

hello obrienn214, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Best-practice for use of object styles to manage image text wrap issues when aiming at both print and EPUB output?

I have a work-flow question about object styles, text-wrap, and preparing a long document with lots of images for dual print/EPUB output in InDesign CC 2014.
I am sort of experienced with InDesign but new to EPUB export. I have hundreds of pages and hundreds of images so I'd like to make my EPUB learning curve, in particular, less painful.
Let me talk you through what I'm planning and you tell me if it's stupid.
It's kind of a storybook-look I'm going for. Single column of text (6" by 9" page) with lots of small-to-medium images on the page (one or two images per page), and the text flowing around, sometimes right, sometimes left. Sometimes around the bounding box, sometimes following the edges of the images. So in each case I'm looking to tweak image size and placement and wrap settings so that the image is as close to the relevant text as possible and the layout isn't all wonky. Lovely print page the goal. Lots of fussy trade-offs and deciding what looks best. Inevitably, this will entail local overrides of paragraph styles. So what I want to do, I guess, is get the images as closely placed as possible, before I do any of that overriding. Then I divide my production line.
1) I set aside the uniformly-styled doc for later EPUB export. (This is wise, right? Start for EPUB export with a doc with pristine styles?)
2) With the EPUB-bound version set aside, I finish preparing the print side, making all my little tweaks. So many pages, so many images. So many little nudges. If I go back and nudge something at the beginning everything shifts a little. It's broken up into lots of separate stories, but still ... there is no way to make this non-tedious. But what is best practice? I'm basically just doing it by hand, eyeballing it and dropping an inline anchor to some close bit of text in case of some storm, i.e. if there's a major text change my image will still be almost where it belongs. Try to get the early bits right so that I don't have to go back and change them and then mess up stuff later. Object styles don't really help me with that. Do they? I haven't found a good use for them at this stage (Obviously if I had to draw a pink line around each image, or whatever, I'd use object styles for that.)
Now let me shift back to EPUB. Clearly I need object styles to prepare for export. I'm planning to make a left float style and a right float style and a couple of others for other cases. And I'm basically going to go through the whole doc selecting each image and styling it in whatever way seems likeliest. At this point I will change the inline anchors to above line or custom, since I'm told EPUB doesn't like the inline ones.
I guess maybe it comes down to this. I realize I have to use object styles for images for EPUB, but for print, manual placement - to make it look just right - and an inline anchor seems best? I sort of feel like if I'm going to bother to use object styles for EPUB I should also use them for print, but maybe that's just not necessary? It feels inefficient to make so many inline anchors and then trade them for a custom thing just for EPUB. But two different outputs means two different workflows. Sometimes you just have to do it twice.
Does this make sense? What am I missing, before I waste dozens of hours doing it wrong?

I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum for best results.
