How can I change the flow of threaded text?

Hi I have a 90 page Indesign 5.5 document in which the text is threaded.
I need to move several pages to another part of the document.
When I move the pages with the pages pallet, the threads go all over the place.
How do I either re direct the thread so it runs in the order I want them to, or break the threads and
re thread them once move is complete?
I would be grateful to anyone who could assist, as I seem to be going in circles trying to remedy this problem.
Lindy.

What do you mean by break the thread? You can break the link between threaded frames by clciking on either the inport or the outport of a frame, then clicking inside that frame, but all of the text inthe the thread will remain with the "upstream" section of the broken thread and any text that was in the downstream section will become overset. You can then insert a new page, pick up that overset text and thread throughthe new page and back into the old section, which remains threaded together.
If you want to actually break the story apart into separate threads, you need to brboth break the thread and cut the overset from the original portion and paste into the empty section. This has been scripted by Dave Saunders for your convenience, or you can do it manually. You'll find Dave's script at http://jsid.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
If you eancounter errors when running the script, move it into a subfolder named "Version 4.0 Scripts" (without the quotes) and it should run,I think. For instruction on how to install scripts, see How to install scripts in InDesign | InDesignSecrets

You can't do that in Pages. If you need text in an arch use Art text 2 lite, free from the Mac AppStore.

How can I change the content of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

Hello all!
First time poster, and getting pretty frustrated with trying to figure out this one issue. Here is the scenario: I am using Acrobat 10 Pro to design what is essentially a giant order form. I designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and whatnot and then exported it to Acrobat to continue building the form.
I have a Radio Button group called "conference_opportunities" which contains different options at different price points, so they are all named the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).
What I have done is created a "MouseDown" event on the radio button that sets a variable called "ConferenceOpportunity" which is equal to the title of the option they are picking. I then want to take that variable and display it in a text box called "Conference_Option". I am using a variable because the values of my radio buttons are all the actual prices of the option they are picking, so I can't define the value as the title of the option.
So its an array of radio buttons, and at the bottom of the page there is the Option They Selected, the quantity (which can change) and the value (in dollars)
I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a sort of summary of everything they chose to purchase as well but I imagine its the same code.
I am not an expert Javascript person at all, so any code snippets would help greatly. I have looked over the Adobe Document on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I have also turned to the almighty google and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Everyone

All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

How can I change the background color in text box using RGB format

Can some one tell me if Mac Pages (version 5.0) allows users to customize the background color of a text box using RGB color format? It appears that the text color can be changed using RGB but background color is limited to a few standard colors. Thanks

They are just sample swatches, use the Color Picker to choose anything you want.

How can I change the Background in a text-field into lets say grey?

How can I change the caption of a text field using data?

Hi, I've read that this is possible to do but when you have an xsd file, I'm using a preview xml data file, so there is no way to link them together, any ideas?.
Thanks!.

1) In Designer, Tools>Options
2) Select Data Binding in the left pane and make sure Show Dynamic Properties is checked
3) Select the field that you want the caption to be driven by XML
4) In the Object palette under the Field tab you'll notice Caption is now green and underlined, click it.
5) If your form is bound to a schema you can see the hierachy when you press the button beside the binding entry field or in your case to access the Caption attribute in your XML type> $.textField1.Caption
Assuming '$' is your root node.

How can I change the sms background colour?

just upgraded to IOS7 on my Iphon 4s...don't like the over-bright white background on sms....how can I change the background colour for text messaging?

There is no option to change the background color in the messages app, other than selecting settings>general>accessibility>invert colors, but this changes the colors of everything.

When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" with the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message. How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed

When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind" the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox. How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message. I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.

Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread". I think that will make each message show individually.

How can I change the answers to the security questions?

I forgot my answers to the security questions. How can I change the answers??

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).

How can I change the overall duration of a project. I did it once but I can't remember and can't find the answer.

How can I change the overall duration of a project. I did it once but I can't remember and can't find the answer.

You could add more content.
Or if the project contains stills, these can be lengthened. Double-click on a still photo to open the Clip Inspector. Adjust the duration by typing in the Duration box. Be aware though that if you have transitions either side of the still, you may get odd results with the duration. See this thread for more details:

PS. I'm assuming you want to lengthen the project, not shorten it.
