Grouping Inline and Floating objects?

I have an image on my page (inline) and I have created a red outline circle with no fill (floating) that is over the image basically circling an item I want people to focus on in the image.
I would like to GROUP those to items to that they move together with the text as I'm editing. Clicking one, then Command-Clicking the other doesn't work. It doesn't want to let me group an item that is inline with an item that is floating. I sort of understand why, but I don't know how to accomplish what I need to do.
I want to draw a shape over an image, then merge the shape and image together somehow so they move inline and together with the text. Can I do this in Pages?
Thanks.

Hi Brian,
Make both objects floating. Group them, then make the grouped object inline, and place it at the position in the text you want.

Barry

Inline and floating objects

I have imported some images as floating objects and now I want to change them into inline objects. I have selected the object, but I can not get them to change. I have tried the menu bar button as well as the inspector, but nothing works.

This is context sensitive. What type of document is it? Page Layout or Word Processing? In a Text Box?

Inline and floating locked in portrait view

My photo book was rejected today because it's not viewable in portrait format. My intention was to have the book ONLY be viewable in landscape format and that it's more than obvious that you need to turn the pad to landscape to view it–the thing is primarily composed of landscape-format images!
I saw in today's "disappearing shapes" thread that you need to edit in portrait and layout in landscape, so I'm trying out that approach.
In portrait mode, I can't get an image to appear in the text column, only as a thumbnail in the left margin. Inline and Floating are greyed out, only Anchored is available.
How can I unlock these? Will that allow me to place the images in the text as in Landscape format?
Thanks.

Never click on anything like that and resubmit.
Test it on a device first.
Testing it goes without saying, right? Seems to work. You saved me a ton of work redesigning a compromised layout. If I could give you doube bonus points I would!
So by clicking disable portrait view it will force the landscape layout to resize smaller to fit portrait view like a pdf does?
No idea what that means, sorry. How could something resize from something it doesn't do...
Where did you learn that iBA's portrait view supports PDFs?
I was talking about looking at a PDF version of this book in iBooks. When you rotate the pad the landscape image simply rotates and resizes. Disabling portrait in .iba just locks the book in landscape no matter how you turn the pad. Perfect for my needs.
Thanks for your help.

Can not Group text and shape/object

I have previously made frequent use of grouping text and objects or images together. But in Keynote 4.0.2 this is not possible (for me at least). I am able to lock multiple images, but the group, mask and alpha buttons are not active when selecting a combination of the two (text and objects). Images or objects can be grouped together. Is this a bug or what ?

Open a NEW presentation (it should default to the Title and Subtitle slide of the theme)
Type some text into the Title
Insert a shape (square)
Select the shape and the Title
You should see that you cannot group anything with either the Title or Subtitle object of a slide. If you want to group text to an object, you have to create a new text object. Would this describe your inability to group (ie. limited to when you have Title/Subtitle selected?)

HOW can I reduce space at top/bottom of inline or floating objects in text?

To fit space horizontally (left and right) works fine, but vertically (top and bottom of object) does not do much to match (text is 10-on-11pt, object abt. 2 x 1 ins).

An AppleWorks trick that may work in Pages as well:
Start by setting the original object to NOT cause text to wrap around it.
Create a second floating object the same width as the object you want text to appear to wrap. Make the second object the same width as the original (or very slightly narrower), and somewhat shorter vertically than the original. Place the new object on top of the original with their centers aligned both vertically and horizontally. Adjust the object's size until the text wraps around the underlying original with the clearance you want. When the adjustment is completed, Go Arrange > Send Back and repeat until the new object is behind the original.
Optional alternate last step: Use the Inspector to set the new objects Opacity to zero percent.

Grouping Textframe and rectangle object ID Server CS4

Below code for simple grouping objects is not working. Since there is not selection in ID Server CS4.
ID Server CS4
Vb.net
Dim FigGp As InDesignServer.Objects
Dim obj As InDesignServer.Objects
obj.Add(rect.Index) 'throwing exception Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
obj.Add(CaptionFrame)
FigGp = ParentPage.Groups.Add(obj)

Bug editing list Items using webpart connections ,group by and inline editing

Hi Everyone. I came across a bug using out of the box features.
Let me explain well the details to reproduce the error. I used :
*2 Lists :
-List one : the consumer list with two columns :
-Number column
-Choice column
-List two :
The sender list with one column :
-Lookup column to gets the number column on the consumer list
*A webpart Page
*2 listviewwebparts in the webpart page
*Connect webparts to filter by the lookup column/number column
*Add inline editing in the consumer webpart
Till now everything works perfectly, inline editing works fine. Let's add some more view details :
*Add a group by in the view of the consumer webpart (group by the choice column)
=> Try to edit list items, you will notice that inside a group, inline editing is OK and inside another group it doesnt work!
If you get the same error, that would be nice to find where is the problem (I already found a similar bug and the problem was the sorting that needs to be in the same way for both connected webparts , ASC or DESC). But this one... ???

Hi Static,
According to your description, I create the consumer list and sender list, create a webpart page , add a chioce filter webpart and consumer list webpart. But after I add a group by in the view of the consumer webpart, the inline edit still work fine.
You can have a look at the blog:

Find inline objects and apply object styles...

Hi Eveyone,
I am trying to find placed inline rules and apply object styles through javascript. Because we need some baseline shift to those rules. I getting some error while find the rules. FInd the syntax below,
app.findObjectPreferences=app.changeObjectPreferences=null;
app.findChangeObjectOptions.properties =
objectType: ObjectTypes.unassignedFramesType
app.findObjectPreferences.strokeWeight=1;
app.changeObjectPreferences.appliedObjectStyles=app.activeDocument.objectStyles.item("WOL" );
app.activeDocument.item(0).changeObject();
Can anyone look into this help for me. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Thiyagu

Hi Dave,
I have tried the script after removing "s" in it. Now i am getting error like "object doesn't support the property or method 'appliedObjectStyle'". Please look into this and help me out. Herewith i attached the 'error' dialog snapshot.
When i tried this in loop its working fine. Find the script below.
app.findObjectPreferences=app.changeObjectPreferences=null;
app.findChangeObjectOptions.properties =
objectType: ObjectTypes.unassignedFramesType
app.findObjectPreferences.strokeWeight=1;
myFindObj=app.findObject(true);
for(i=0;i<myFindObj.length;i++){
myFindObj[i].appliedObjectStyle=app.activeDocument.objectStyles.item("WOL");
alert ("DONE!");

Finding floating objects

Is there someway to find floating objects in a Pages 09 document?
I am trying to export to an epub and Pages 09 tells me that floating objects cannot be exported and to convert them to inline. I have many figures in the document most with captions which I have produced by inserting a jpeg file, then a text box, grouping the jpeg file and text box, and putting the group inline. All figures show as an inline group when I select them. There don't appear to be any stray jpegs or text boxes floating around. Yet, I still get the export error message.

The only thing I see when I do 2 is that in the Info menu floating objects gets selected. Nothing appears in the document window to indicate that it as found a floating object. When I do 2 on the page where the photos appear in the document window but do not appear in the epub, I see nothing.
Making master objects selectable and background objects selectable does not seem to change anything in the document. Making background objects selectable does set the radio button in the Info window.

Opening a Word Document in Pages - floating objects not supported

I am trying to open a Word document in pages. It is a table of labels with artwork and text. Pages tells me that floating objects inside cells are not supported and were deleted. I've tried making them inline with text in the original document and then opening in Pages, but then I can't make them floating again. Anyone know how to do this? I really don't want to have to buy a Microsoft product!

Don't buy a M…soft product, use the free openOffice or the free neoOffice.

Assigning a new value to Float objects

Hi,
With BigDecimals, you can assign a value without explicitly creating a new object like this:
BigDecimal b = new BigDecimal(5.23f);
b = BigDecimal.valueOf(625, 2);
As far as I can see, the only ways of doing this with Float is:
Float f = new Float(5.23f);
f = new Float(6,25f);
//OR:
f = Float.valueOf("6.25");
Are there any other ways? Which is most efficient?
Cheers,
Rewbs.

Hi,
With BigDecimals, you can assign a value without
explicitly creating a new object like this:
BigDecimal b = new BigDecimal(5.23f);
b = BigDecimal.valueOf(625, 2);BigDecimal.valueOf:
"Translates a long value into a BigDecimal with a scale of zero. This 'static factory method' is provided in preference to a (long) constructor because it allows for reuse of frequently used BigDecimals."
"frequently used BigDecimals" seems to mean all values form -16 up to 16. For all other values a new BigDecimal object is created anyhow.

No there are no other ways, and the first is definitely the most efficient one. The constructor does no more than creating a new object and assigning the value to it's value field. The other method involves parsing the string, check whether it is a valid representation of a float, ... , and then create a new Float object.

Download and Upload(!) ABAP-Source and DDIC-Objects?

Hi,
is there a standard transaction or third party tool
to download and upload(!!) ABAP-Source (function modules,
function groups, module pools, reports...) and DDIC-Objects
(tables, structures, data elements) to a local file system?
In terms of uploading these objects it would be desirable
that the transaction/tool creates packages/development classes/.. on its own.
I would need that to copy the same source and ddic-objcets to different customer systems without doing it "manually" everytime.
Does anyone know advice?
Thank you,
Bernhard

Adding a custom button to the Builtin Button Group of an MVToolbar object.

I suspect this is not possible, however, I would like to add a custom button to the built-in button group of an MVToolBar object. I have attempted to do this with the following code:
// Create an array of the built-in buttons I require
var toolArry = new Array();
toolArry.push(MVToolBar.BUILTIN_CIRCLE);
toolArry.push(MVToolBar.BUILTIN_RECTANGLE);
toolArry.push(MVToolBar.BUILTIN_REDLINE);
// Create the MVToolBar object using the array items created above
createLocToolBar = new MVToolBar("createLocShapes",toolArry,MVToolBar.HORIZONTAL);
// Add the Toolbar to the map view object
mapview.addToolBar(createLocToolBar);
// Create the required custom button
createLineBtn = new MVToolButton("createLine",MVToolButton.TOGGLE,"/i/blue_arrow_down.gif","/i/blue_arrow_up.gif");
// Attempt to add the custom button to the built-in toolbar
createLocToolBar.getBuiltInButtonGroup().add(createLineBtn);
Upon running the above script, the built-in buttons I've defined in the array are displayed as expected, but the custom button does not appear (no errors are displayed either).
If I comment out the above line and instead include the line below, the custom button is displayed, but of course this is not part of the built-in group.
createLocToolBar.addButton(createLineBtn);
Any assistance greatly appreciated,
JR

Thanks for the reply, Michael. I understand that the Login.jsp needs to be modified and redeployed, but the question is how to create a new button with the same look and feel as the Login button. Currently we have modified the Login.jsp with a "Forgot Password" html link, but it would be prefered to create a button to match what already exists. I understand that this might be outside the scope of this forum, but I was hoping that someone that has done this (specifically the original poster if he found a solution) could share the relevent code.
