Frame doesn't slide with text

I have a WP document that contains a spreadsheet frame. The problem is when I add text to the document, the text starts to scroll under the frame, forcing me to constantly rearrange the document. I know I can paste the frame at the insertion point, but then the spreadsheet frame is not editable. Is there a way around this?

Hi Timothy,
AppleWorks has two classes of 'objects', inline objects and floating objects.
Inline objects, as you've noted, are treated as if they were a (large) single character in the line of text, and maintain their position with respect to the text—as text is added above them, they are pushed down the page.
Floating objects float in front of (or behind) the text, and keep the same position with respect to the top left corner of (the front page of) the document. They move only when you move them.
A floating object may have the property Text Wrap applied to it. With Text Wrap applied, text no longer flows under the object, but is diverted around it. To apply Text Wrap, select the object (in your case the spreadsheet frame), then go Options > Text Wrap..., and choose Regular, then click Apply.
Hint: Position the object toward the left or right edge of the page to keep all text beside the object on the same side.
Hint2: Text in a Text Frame will not wrap unless the frame has Frame Links applied. (Options menu again)
Regards,
Barry

Adding a blank slide with text

In iPhoto I have created a slideshow that works well. However, I would like to seperate some of the slides into groups by adding a blank slide with text, is this posible?

Actually you need to do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto. That will create a jpg image file of the document and import it into iPhoto where you can use it in the slideshow.
You can also use a 3rd party image editor that can handle text, or one of the iWork applications if you want a fancy title slide.
Some Image Editors that support layers and text:
Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
GraphicConverter - $45
Rainbow Painter - $30
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free

Can I create slides automatically using a master slide with text placeholders if I have a database of the content?

I'm using Keynote, and I have a presentation that is over 100 slides all identical to the master slide. There are several placeholder text elements, and I have a database of all the text elements.
Is there any way to do a "merge" to create the slides automatically using the master slide template?

Sure, you can build in and out as many text boxes as you like -- just add a new text box, put in the text, and set the build for it. Do be aware, however, that the timing you get will not be very precise.
If you specifically want to present song lyrics synched to audio, you might find that there are better alternatives than Keynote. Brian Peat, who contributes here regularly, has a comprehensive list of song presentation software. This list may have a better option for you.

Portal Doesn't Display page with text/plain content type

Hi,
I created a WSRP portlet with text/plain content type and added it to my page, but I get the following error message:
Error: Could not get markup. The cookie or session is invalid or there is a runtime exception.
when I add the portlet to my page.
It works when I use text/html content, but text/plain doesn't work.
Any ideas how I can get my portlet to display in the portal?
Thanks in advance,

IE6 cannot display text/plain (support.microsoft.com/kb/329661).
Does the server know what to do (i.e. how to render) with text/plain?

I'm having problem with text boxes. Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line. Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

You are absolutely right. Thought Enter meant Enter. I was wrong. Thank you for the help.

Find a text frame on the page with script label

hello to all
I need to create a script to
find a text frame on the page with script label "xxx"
and read its contents into a variable.
The content of the text frame is a number.
thanks

Hi Roberto,
Welcome to the forum,
This will find the labeled textFrame on the active page.
var myLabel = "Foo", // change to label
      myPage = app.properties.activeWindow && app.activeWindow.activePage,
      myTextFrames = myPage.textFrames.everyItem().getElements().slice(0),
      l = myTextFrames.length,
      myVariable
while (l--) {
    if (myTextFrames[l].label != myLabel) continue;
    myVariable = myTextFrames[l].contents;
    break; // presuming there's only one "Foo" labeled frame on the page
    // Otherwise you'll nead an array
alert(myVariable)

How to get Horizontal Slider in line with text?

Hi,
I am trying to put my horizontal sliders in line with text information, but for some reason the alignmentbase property does not work. Any tips?
The code I use now:
<s:Panel id= "ViewTracksPanel"
                 title = "Viewing settings"
                 width="100%"
                 height="100%">
            <s:layout>
                <s:VerticalLayout paddingLeft="10" paddingTop="10" paddingBottom="10"/>
            </s:layout>
            <s:VGroup >
                <s:HGroup gap="30">
                    <s:RadioButton group="{viewingtype}" id="viewtrackHistory" label="Track History" value="History" />
                    <s:RadioButton group="{viewingtype}" id="viewLatestLocation" label="Current Position" value="LatestLocation"/>    
                </s:HGroup>
                <s:HGroup right="40">
                    <mx:Text text="Track Time Interval: {timeInt.value} Minutes "/>
                    <s:Label text="1"/>
                    <s:HSlider stepSize="1" minimum="1" maximum="60" id="timeInt" width="200" dataTipPrecision="0" change="timeInt_changeHandler(event)" alignmentBaseline="ideographicBottom" />
                    <s:Label text="60"/>
                    <s:Label/>
                </s:HGroup>
                <s:HGroup>
                    <mx:Text text="Display Time Interval: {Speed.value} Seconds"/>
                    <s:Label text="1"/>
                    <s:HGroup>
                        <s:HSlider stepSize="1" minimum="1" maximum="5" id="Speed" width="200" dataTipPrecision="0" alignmentBaseline="ideographicBottom"/>
                    </s:HGroup>
                    <s:Label text="5"/>
                </s:HGroup>
                <s:Label/>
This results in:
As seen above, the slider (& corresponding labels) are not on the same 'horizontal line/position' as the mx Text (ex. 'Track Time Interval' but a bit above?
I tried to put alignmentbaseline to all possible values but whithout succes.
Any advice would be really great!
Thanks.

I just did one line but I think you want this
        <s:HGroup verticalAlign="baseline">
            <mx:Text text="Display Time Interval: {Speed.value} Seconds"/>
            <s:Label text="1"/>
            <s:HSlider stepSize="1" minimum="1" maximum="5" id="Speed" width="200" dataTipPrecision="0"/>
            <s:Label text="5"/>
        </s:HGroup>
Also you don't need to wrap everything in a VGroup if you have a vertical layout - pick one or the other.

Slide advancer (Kensington) doesn't work with powerpoint

slide advancer (Kensington) doesn't work with powerpoint

Hi, Todd.
I don't use an AirClick, but a quick check over at Griffin Technologies indicates one must be using PowerPoint 2004 to control presentations with the AirClick and AirClick USB products.
If you're using PowerPoint 2004, then I suggest you take up the matter with Griffin Technology's Support. They also appear to have published some updated software for AirClick.
Another place you may want to search or post is the the PowerPoint group you can find on the Microsoft Mac Support - Newsgroups page. These are Google Groups with active participation from MS PowerPoint users, including a variety of expert users.
I don't mean to send you somewhere else, but I've found numerous answers there for folks with questions related to MS products. Accordingly, it has often proved to be the first, best place to look for answers to questions such as you are asking.
Good luck!

Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
--inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
or
--independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
thank you!
L

well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
now too but not enough functionality...

How can I move an image/file around inside a document with text already in it?

I'm learning In Design on the job, and it's a real challenge. One big problem I'm having is, after I've placed an image inside a document with text in it, how do I place it precisely where I want it? Sometimes I need the image flush to the left, and sometimes I need to center it. When I place it, it doesn't land where I need it to be. Things I've tried work sometimes but not other times. I've tried going to Paragraph and reducing the setting to zero to move an image flush to the left of the text frame/column (I'm working with a three-column page). Sometimes that works, and sometimes it does not. When it doesn't, I've tried using the Selection tool to drag the image, but it doesn't respond. Could someone give me an idea of what I'm overlooking? I'm finding that InDesign has many settings, and all it takes is for one setting to be what it shouldn't be for things to go badly wrong. I'm having other issues too, but in this discussion I'll stick to this.

Sounds like you are anchoring the images in the text flow. That's fine if you need them to move along with text during editing, but is usually not required and often counter productive. If you place your images as separate objects in their own independent frames they can be positioned anywhere and moved at will. If they need to be anchored, consider using Custom Positioned instead of inline.

How do you share thousands of pictures with text and captions outside of PSE? (PSE 4)

One of my dad’s retirement passions is family genealogy and old family pictures. Several years ago I gave my family PSE 4.0 for Christmas so that we could each have backup copies of our dad’s pictures. Usually once per year, I made backup copies of everything and emailed the DVDs to my brothers and sisters. Everyone knows the basic PSE 4 functions and share our dad's enjoyment with the old family photos.
My problem is that my dad is running out of pictures to scan. He wants to “share” or “show” his photos with others so that he can “borrow” their photo albums in order to scan their photos. He plans to attend a hometown high school reunion later this fall. He hopes to "collect" photo albums from cousins and classmates. I have been struggling with this for several days without any good ideas.
The scanned pictures lack any text (added as a layer?) or captions. Creating a slideshow (on my dad’s computer is slow). Also, a slideshow doesn’t let others select individual pictures to save from the slide show
He has old pictures pre-PSE 4 that allowed him to add captions directly to the picture when it was scanned. I never liked this approach as it "destroyed" the actual picture but these old pictures are more easily shared as individual pictures.
How do you share thousands of pictures with text and captions outside of PSE? Can you save or export a composite picture with all the layers?
Thanks in advance for your help and replies.

I think it is one of the printer option screens that gives me the choice of tabbed 4x6. All of the choices specifiy HP or Other so I am pretty sure it is printer software that offers me this choice.
Make sure your image has a 4x6 aspect ratio. I have been quite happy with the tabbed 4x6. Just need to remember to load the paper with the tab last.
So, in elements you set to 4x6, in printer options you should be able to choose 4x6 tabbed paper.

Captivate 7 question - slide with audio and light boxes not functioning properly

I am currently working a project and cannot figure something out.
I have a slide with 9 smartshape buttons on it. When each button is clicked it brings up a lightbox. Each lightbox has it's own close button. When the lightbox is closed by the user then the user immediately sees the 9 button screen and can choose another button to view and read, and so forth. I have the lightboxes working fine.
Now, I added text to speech. It is a mere 15 seconds in length, but it contains some important content and the directions. I want the text to speech audio to stop playing if the user goes ahead and clicks on one of the 9 buttons which then brings up a lightbox. I want the audio to then resume when they close the lightbox. OK I have all of that working in a technical sense.
I've also tried this advanced action, but this stops the Audio entirely, however it does solve the autoadvance issue. so I am just trading issues.
I also have "back and next" nav buttons on the slide, so the user must click one or the other to proceed off the slide. Ok those worked.
Here is the issue. Once I added the text to speech audio, at the end of 17.3 seconds, whatever lightbox the user may be viewing and they hit the close lightbox button, captivate automatically sends the user to the next slide. No clicking "Next" or anything. I can't figure out why this is occurring.
Prior to adding audio the slide worked as it should with the user being able to click each of the 9 buttons to "read some info" then close it and click another button on the slide, etc. They could do this in any order they wanted.
When I added the audio, I set the advanced actions so if a user clicked on one of the buttons, the audio would stop playing until they came back to the main screen. Ok no problem getting that to function - except it stops functioning at the end of 17.3 seconds.
What am I missing?
Thanks for any help!!!
Michelle

Correct I have only 15 seconds of audio with the slide. no audio with any of the light boxes. Those are "read only" light boxes.
If the user clicks a shape button early, before the entire audio has played, I want the audio to stop, so the user can read the lightbox info, then as they click back to the slide away from the lightbox, I want the audio to resume playing - so they can hear the rest of the audio. But, this is where is doesn't function properly as when the audio finishes playing at 15 seconds. The next shape button the user clicks on to shows the lightbox, but when they click to close the lightbox, the lightbox closes then sends the user to the next slide. They haven't had a chance to view any of the other shape buttons and the information found in those corresponding light boxes.
I hope this clarifies.
Any thoughts?
Michelle

Is it possible to do a multiple-records data merge that doesn't generate multiple text boxes?

Is it possible to do a multiple-records data merge that doesn't generate multiple text boxes? And if so, how?
For publications such as a directory with contact information, it would be easier to manage the layout by merging multiple records into one text box. However, it seems like the only option in InDesign is to merge the records into each of their own text boxes.

No, but it's possible to stitch the frames together after the merge, then reflow. See Adobe Community: Multiple record data merge into paragraph styles-applies the wrong style

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.
