Getting inline images to stay in text

I'm using RH7 in TCS 1 on windows XP.
I have text that contains icons.  For example, "Click the add icon (image) to add a new rule to the policy."  Sometimes the add icon stays in the parentheses and sometimes it drops to a line all by itself with a super large anchored frame around it.  Even though I manually shrink the anchored frame around the image, it does not return to its proper place within the line of text.
Any ideas?

I imported Framemaker files by reference into RoboHelp.  In this particular instance, the entire icon isn't even displaying.  It looks great in the PDF.

  • I am trying to create a button in flash that will display 4 separate images at the same time when clicked.  I can't get the images to stay on when I take the mouse of the button.  I need the actions script code to make this happen.

    I am trying to create a button in flash that will allow the user to click on the button and 4 separate images show up at the same time.  I can get the images to appear when I click the button but they will not stay on the screen.  I need to know what code I use to make the images stay once the button is clicked, then I need to know exactly where I place that code.  It does not appear to be possible to add the action code to the buttons layer since each time I add a new layer I just get another "up" "over" "down" and "hit" line.
    Thank you in advance

    It is not clear how you are trying to realize this from your description.  If you are trying to create this within a button symbol it will not work.  Explain your approach and if there is code involved, show what you have so far.

  • How do I get an image to stay where I place it without pinning it?

    Whenever I place my logo in the top left corner it winds up in the middle. Not sure why this is doing this but I can correct this error if I pin it. Then it stays exactly where I place it, but then it does not scrolll with the rest of the page, because it is pinned. Thank you!

    Hi Russ,
    Ideally, Image should stay where you placed it. Please send your .muse file to [email protected], add this forum link and refer it to me.

  • In the paragraph after a conditional build tag, an inline image gets wrapped in a div tag

    Hi,
    TCS5, so FM 12 and RH11. I have successfully applied some conditional build tags by turning off the apply conditional build tag setting and using the Conditional Build Expression in the WebHelp properties instead.
    In RoboHelp, everything looks correct.  I generate WebHelp and suddenly, a div tag is wrapped around the inline image in the paragraph that followed the text marked conditional.
    This did not happen with TCS 4 (FM11, RH10).  I am not sure why this div tag is applied only when I generate the help.  Any thoughts on what to check?
    Lauren

    Hi lauren,
    I tried to replicate the above mentioned issue, but did not get the <div> around the image in Webhelp output. Would it be possible for you to provide more information on this:
    At what point does the <div> start appearing around the image, as soon as the CBT expression is applied?
    If yes, what is the expression?
    What happens when expression is set to None again and individual CBT is under application
    Is there a spacing or the CBT text just follows the inline image?
    Please send us a sample file for the same, if possible. Thanks!

  • [CS2][JS] Search text & replace with inline Image

    I am working with a large layout with many entries. There is a text "placeholder" that I need to search for and replace with an inline image in that exact spot.
    I need to apply an Object Style to that image.
    There is a loop above this for each find/replace to perfom
    I have supplied samples to show what the variables will hold
    The following assumes that an Objectstyle named "image" exists
    //places the image
    app.changePreferences = null;
    findName = "OR-00014500-24-0000-1";
    fileName = "Ads:OR-00014500-24-0000-1:OR-00014500-24-0000-1.eps"
    myFinds = app.search(findName)
    for (j = myFinds.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
    app.select(myFinds[j]);
    app.place(fileName, false,{appliedObjectStyle:"image"});
    This doesn't apply the style to the placed object and I have tried many different ways to apply this in the properties.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I've seem to hit another hurdle....
    The code works well for searching and replacing the images. It applies the style to the image, but these images are not inline they are anchored. I ended up with a nice stack of images in the same corner.
    Ok... I need to then apply styles based on the images that have been placed already..
    This works well for cycling through the pages and with a bit more will change the style...
    myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    pagecount = myDoc.pages.length;
    for ( page=0; page < pagecount; page++){
    if (myDoc.pages.item(page).textFrames.length != 0){
    app.select(myDoc.pages.item(page).textFrames.item(0));
    piccount = app.selection[0].rectangles.length;
    if (piccount != 0){
    for ( bob=0; bob < piccount; bob++){
    app.select(myDoc.pages.item(page).textFrames.item(0));
    app.select(app.selection[0].rectangles.item(bob));
    // Get geometric bounds
    // alert(app.selection[0].geometricBounds);
    // Get object Style
    // alert(app.selection[0].appliedObjectStyle.name);
    // Do more here....
    I can't use this though :(
    I need to determine how many images have already been placed on the page before placing the image in the search and replace....
    myFinds = app.search(replaceName)
    for (j = myFinds.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
    app.select(myFinds[j]);
    myStory = myFinds[j].parent;
    myIndex = myFinds[j].index;
    //This will change using a series of Case Switches
    // Here is where I need to find the page and run the previous script or something like it myStyle = app.activeDocument.objectStyles.item("image");
    app.place(fileName, false);
    myStory.characters[myIndex].pageItems[0].applyObjectStyle(myStyle);
    app.select(myStory.characters[myIndex].pageItems[0]);
    //alert(app.selection[0].appliedObjectStyle.name);
    What I need to do is kind of combine the two....
    But I can't seem to get the current page of the selected image....
    I could use the page by page script, but it moves the character anchor point of images and pushes them to the next page. This throws off the pretty layout I'm going for.
    What am I doing wrong here ?

  • How can we get the image which is stored in clipboard by labview, is there any functions available like text from clip board

    How can we get the image which is stored in clipboard by labview, i can get the text in clipboard by using invoke node directly.but i cannot get the image, is there any functions or vi available.(image is in Png format)

    The Read from Clipboard method is, unfortunately, limited to text. If the clipboard contains an image then you need to use OS-specific functions calls. This is an example program for Windows. It's old, but it should still work.

  • Working with inline images: How to get them to the edge of the page.

    I'm making an epub and unfortunatly that means inline images. The thing is i want the images to go right to the very edge of the pages and nto have like a 2cm gap from all the edges. I have tried moving the margins however thhe image still remains firmly in the center of the page. Can I change this as it is really annoying me? Thanks .

    I tried and found that you have to in Page Setup choose a paper size that is borderless. in view menu click on Show Layout. You will get a grey border on the"paper". That is the part you printer can write on. I thin this could be the problem. If you have a borderless version choose it. I don't do ePub so I can't check if this the solution for you.

  • How Do You Make an Image Flow with the Text?

    Hello all,
    I am using CS4 InDesign on Windows Vista. I am fairly new to Indesign but try to do my research and homework well before asking what I hope is not a really dumb question.
    I am writing a book of approx. 350 pages that is an illustrated encyclopedia of 156 plants and their oils.
    Each 2 page spread is a single entry for a plant. The graphics frames on each spread are identical in size, position and styles for a consistent look throughout the document.As you can see (hopefully) each page is a single column. See screenshot below
    In order to overcome my first problem of positioning and sizing the graphics frames uniformly, I created the master pages with the graphics placeholders sized, positioned and formatted to my liking. This worked wonderfully and I placed all of my 300+ graphics by simply over riding each frame.
    Then in my editing I decided to add another 2 page spread somewhere in the middle of this fairly large document.
    What a NIGHTMARE. The text predictably shifted but now ALL of my graphics were no longer associated with the corresponding text! Arrrgghhh.I had not anticipated this behavior (used MS Word for 15 years) or I would have done something different.
    3 hours later I finished re -"placing" the images associated with the correct text.
    I researched the help file and found out about the neccessity of anchoring graphics to text. I have read through the threads in this forum, followed links to "indesignsecrets.com/make-an-image-flow-with-the-text" and " Working with anchored objects by Anne Marie Concepcion"
    My concerns are this.
    An inline graphic places the graphic back onto your text layer for some reason ( Previously my graphics each had their own layer)
    Not wanting to start (again) from scratch with my graphics I converted them to inline/custom anchored objects.
    But to select then cut then paste every pre existing graphic to anchor it inline seems to be cumbersome and counter intuitive although the top smaller graphic did position well and the text seemed to wrap ok.
    When I placed the larger bottom graphic on the left facing page using custom positioning I was not able to get the text to wrap at all.( The in line anchoring did not seem to allow for positioning on anything but the 'Y' axis).
    It seems that there would be a simpler way to place text and graphics where you want them and have them associate and flow together (or not) when you want them to and have text wrap easily around an anchored object without keyboard gymnastics. It would seem that the concept of a certain graphic being associated or linked with certain text would not be an unusual concept in desktop publishing.
    Am I missing something?
    Can you place an anchored graphics frame on the master page with your desired options?
    How would this be done if possible?
    Is there any other way (i.e grouping) to keep graphics associated with the desired text so that it flows together if extra pages are added?
    Is the fact that my graphics frames are on my master pages responsible for my text wrap difficulty? (I have text wrap enabled on my master pages)
    Are there any settings, redundant or otherwise, I need to be aware of?
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions or directions
    L.N.

    Hello Again,
    Thank You Bob but I am still a little fuzzy on this. I have already created object styles for the graphics frames. For instance the small graphic underneath the heading (Its a drop of oil) has an object style applied. Now I checked and it has the anchored object options checked in the style dialog box. When I reapply the style to the next similar graphics nothing happens. It is still not anchored. Do I need to create a new style based on "nothing" add my effects plus the anchoring options? Basically start over. If thats what I need to do thats OK. As to your instruction that object styles could accomodate this anchoring thing...thats what I thought too but somehow I can't get it to work. See object style dialog box screenshot below:
    For the larger graphic on the bottom of the left facing page. I still cannot get any text to wrap. In the screenshot example the text describing this particular plant doesn't go to the bottom of the page so the wrapping issue on this page is moot. However I have some entries where the body of the description is more involved and does go to the bottom of the page and the text WOULD need to wrap around the plant (larger ) graphic.
    Hi there Harb, Yes I found out early on that object styles can't apply size (that would be on my wish list for sure) That is why I found that creating my graphics frames on the master page with the correct size, effects and positioning tickled me so much. Can you believe I originally went through and MANUALLY resized and repositioned each and every 300+ graphics in this book but it still wasn't right. I'm nothing if not persistent. (Now if I could just get my grown sons to pick up their socks!)
    Anyway the master page graphics frames idea would be perfect if I could get the images to anchor in their respective spots on the master page as well.
    For your second suggestion. I am not clear about why I would need to break the threads of each spread so that each spread is a seperate article. Is the threading issue the thing that is causing my text to move on leaving their associated graphics behind? If so how do I go about doing this?
    So to recap:
    1. I need to know if I can modify my object style or recreate from scratch with the anchoring option (as I said it didn't work)
    2. Can't get text to wrap around the Custom anchored graphic at bottom of page at all
    3. Im not clear on the breaking the threading on the spreads
    I am willing to go back through and start from scratch (new master pages, styles etc ) if neccesary. This book is the culmination of 7 years of research and artwork.Basically the project is DONE. Now if I can just format it correctly.
    I can't thank you both enough for your time, suggestions, expertise and patience.
    Thanks again

  • How do I have an image move with a text box?

    I need to embed an image within a text box so that when I add additional text in the future, the image moves with the text that surrounds it.
    For example, if I have a paragraph of text, then on the following line vertically I have an image, then on the following line another paragraph of text ... When I add additional paragraphs of text above the image, how can I have the image track down to stay between the original two paragraphs of text?

    Thanks Zak!  I figured that out but now have another problem that I just posted. The app keeps locking up when I try to export HTML or upload my site to the server. Please give me any advise on how to handle it.
    Here's my other post:
    Hi,
    I just upgraded to the latest version of Muse. I made a few changes to my site and I'm trying to export the HTML. I've now tried 3 times and the app locks up at 89%. It completes all pages, but locks up there. When I look into the Muse Export folder, there is nothing there. The window reads "Finishing export" but it stays at that point for more than an hour when I finally give up and force quit.
    Any ideas? Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how to get my HTML exported successfully?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Just an update. Previously I was attempting to export HTML to the Muse Export folder on my computer. I described what happened above. Now, I'm trying to publish directly to my FTP site. Its doing basically the same behavior where it exports all desktop pages (189 of them) then it locks up. However, the interesting thing is that when exporting to the Muse Export folder on my computer this said it was 89% complete. When uploading to my server, it says its 59% computer when all pages have been exported. Both options result in the app locking up and never completing the export. I did check my site online to see if the pages were really updated. I made a change to the nav bar on the master so I should see that on every page. It is not showing up online yet even though the app says all 189 pages have been exported. Still looking for help, all advice and ideas will be appreciated! I do want to get my updates online.

  • Inline object in portrait-layout text disappears when switched to anchored?

    I'm trying to add a simple drop-cap to a text-only book that I'm putting together in iBooks Author.  In Landscape orientation, it works fine; I add a text box, position it at the beginning of the chapter text, set it to Anchored placement, and turn on Object causes wrap.
    In portrait orientation, however, "anchor" isn't working.  Specifically, if I create an object, copy-paste it into the pageless body text (so it's inline), and then switch it to Anchored placement (via either the Inspector or the toolbar), the object vanishes.  Completely--it's gone from the document entirely so far as I can tell.  I tried it with a text box and various shapes, and also tried creating a new document with a different template--the behavior was the same in every case.  The object just disappears.
    Now, that just can't be the intended behavior, but is this a reproduceable bug for other people?  And/or is there a workaround so I can get a drop-cap in portrait view?

    Hi Eric,
    I believe the problem is because the leading on the image paragraph is now set to 14pt, whereas previously it was probably set to auto. Auto leading is the only way to get images to push the text down like you want. Note also that for some reason, ID has a preference "Apply leading to whole paragraphs" turned off by default. Unless you select the whole paragraph, auto-leading will not work the way you want it to until you have this preference switched on.

  • Placing MS Word inline images onto the Baseline Grid

    Products:
    InDesign CC
    MS Word 2013
    Hi everyone.
    I'm placing a MS Word docx (default style formatting, images pasted inline with the text, each on a separate line) into an InDesign document with a baseline grid.
    The document places without any difficulty, except that the images are piled on top of each other. I can see tht the image is being placed on its own line on the baseline grid, so technically it's being positioned properly, but I need the text to Jump Object or  Wrap Around Bounding Box. When I change any image from No Text Wrap to one of the aforementioned, nothing happens. The bottom portion of the image remains inserted and aligned to the baseline grid.
    How do I get the text to Jump Object or Wrap Around Bounding Box when using the baseline grid?
    Thanks

    Ah, I seem to have found a solution to the problem. Not sure if it is the best or most efficient, but it seems to work:
    1. Create new paragraph style.
    2. Set Basic Character Format Leading to Auto.
    Then, rather than select the image as I was doing, position the cursor in the respective line hosting the inline image, and apply the new paragraph style.
    That caused the text to have the Jump Object appearance.

  • [CS2][JS] How to scale all inline images to 70%

    To all the script gurus out there. can you help me make a script that scale all inline images to 70%? 'coz we got this client and they supply us with lots of eps files then the instruction would be to reduce the size of all images without touching the original ones. it takes time to process all of them in indesign manually.
    help please.

    Thank you so much guys. I'll try it later. Although I have one more problem. I got this LabelGraphics script from Indesignsecret.com modified for CS2 (originally from CS3), and it works fine for displayed figures but for inline it only labels the figures in first page.

  • How to get background image to fill the browser and remain fixed in both IE and Firefox?

    Basically what it says in the title. I've come very close in achieving this but something just doesn't tie up in the html and css code...
    First of all, I'm using IE8 and the latest version of Firefox to test this.
    I used 2 sources of information for getting this done: 1) http://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/ and 2) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8958697/css3-background-size-cover-doesnt-make-image-co ver-vertically
    In Case 1 the example on the page called CSS-Only Technique #1 gives code that works almost perfectly for me, except that obviously I need a background image, however the CSS provided there is clearly just for an image dropped in the body of a page with no regard for other content that may already be there. The html code that I put on the page is simply <img class="bg" src="../images/background_image.jpg">
    Obviously I used the CSS code provided in the example, minus the last bit which is "@media screen" etc etc, which seems irrelevant to me. Obviously substituting values to suit the image on my page.
    So what happened is that it almost worked as intended in both the browsers (which means the image filled both browsers width-wise as intended and also remained fixed when I zoomed in or out in each case) except that the image went over the top of the current content that I had there already precisely because it's not a background in this "technique". (A curious side-note is that the image didn't push down the content, as I'd have expected in normal circumstances, but went right over the top of it so it hid it (like z-index).
    One thing that does bother me about this "technique" is that if you click on View Demo just below the code provided you will see on the working example page (forest background) the image clearly works as a background and the content sits happily on top! So I don't know whether the person providing the example was trying to mislead people or what! Or he got lazy and showed a different page that didn't use the exact code he provided. No matter.
    In any case this leaves me with the job only half finished, as I still need a background image that works like the 'normal image' code provided.
    On to Case 2 and on this page the first example provided gives the CSS for the background image - namely the code within html {...} part and also shows the same 'normal image' code as given in Case 1. In this case however, although the person provided a suggestion, the css and html doesn't really tie up properly plus some of the css and html seems a bit redundant. So this time when I used the 'html portion' of the CSS code (i.e. just the bit that was most relevant) I got two different behaviours in each browser and neither of which was quite what I'm looking for. In IE8 initially the page looks fine (background fills the page and content is on top) however when I zoom in or out the background also zooms in or out accordingly so is NOT fixed. In Firefox the background image DOES stay fixed, however because the image originally is not the whole height of the browser I'm guessing the code stretches it downwards (while keeping proportions - so the image essentially enlarges) to fill all of it. The quick way to get around it is to probably add some white space to the bottom of the image just to give it enough height that it doesn't stretch/resize automatically. But it would be nice to find out anyway how to get around this in the code. Overall I would say that the result in Firefox comes closest to the desired solution but of course it doesn't help matters with IE8.
    Apologies for the lengthy description but that should at least provide plenty info for anybody that might have a possible solution for me. Essentially what would be great is if somebody could advise me how to take the code from Case 1 and apply it to a 'background' piece of coding like the type that's contained within html {...} in Case 2. Like I said, it's so nearly there but I just can't make it work atm after trying to combine the various bits of code this way and that... Alternatively, if somebody has another html-css version that works nicely for achieving this then please by all means let me know! Thanks v much in advance!

    This works in modern CSS3 supporting browsers.  But not pre-IE9.

  • IChat Inline Images No Longer Working After a Fresh Install of Snow Leopard

    My roommate and I share the same computer network and iChat through Bonjour. This is mostly for us to drop data to each other as we both work - urls, images, etc. He upgraded to Snow Leopard as a completely fresh upgrade and reinstalled his existing software with no new software added. As soon as he upgraded, he could no longer receive inline images from me, and he has to go into the file transfer window to see the images. I can see inline images from him with no problems. I can't upgrade to Snow Leopard at this time. How do we fix his image problem?

    I have not set my Snow Leopard computer to Not Start Up iChat if it is Quit (unstarted on computer start up) when someone IMs me. (Off line Messaging.)
    I get sent a File when I am Off line on a Sunday if I miss a particular group chat on Saturdays.
    I never seem to get a Chat started as this Group Chat has finished.
    The Last Group chat I was in though does pop up as per my Setting for Saved Transcripts.
    It is a File not a pic.
    It is not "in a Chat" either.
    I am not sure how close my situation is to what you describe as to Closed Windows for the Bonjour Buddy list or other factors (there is no Off Line Messaging for Bonjour but the Buddy List Window can be closed)
    I regard it a a partial replication.
    It may give clues.
