How can I sequence non-threaded text frames for localization?

Is there any way to sequence non-threaded text frames? I want the text to appear in order in SDL (translation software).
Thanks all. RR

Last time I checked, the Articles tool only affected reading order in PDF. I know of no translation tools that consistently do a good job harvesting text from PDFs, and SDL's tools only accept IDML. TextStitch is useful because you can just let it auto-stitch the whole document if all frames should be read in a top-down, left-right order.
However, StoryCollector and other SDL tools also collect frames in that order. So, using the QuickStitch function of TextStitch, you can rapidly thread all the frames in a document. Note that you will want to ungroup any group that contains a text frame before you begin - TextStitch gives you visual feedback, "blackening" frames that are going to be included in the threaded story, but it doesn't black out threaded frames in groups, so if you want to be able to see what you are doing, then you'll have to ungroup.

HT201317 how can i sequence photos in photo stream for a slideshow

How can i sequence photos which have been taken over a period of months and exported to photo stream in no order for a slide show which must have the photos ordered manually?
thanks

You can't resequence the order in photo stream if that's what you are asking. You say you've been taking photos over a period of months - I hope these are not just in photo stream, because photos stay in the stream for up to 30 days (and only a max of 1000 pictures). You need to copy the photos [once they've been synced by the stream to a computer] to an album (on a mac) to folder (PC) were you can organize them any way you want.
Always sync photos to a computer (either by USB or iCloud) as you would with a digital camera. Never trust them to iCloud alone - too many users have lost most/all their photos when performing restores or whatever.

How can I simply create a text frame with perfect rounded ends?

I'm recreating a new edition of a book that was originally created in Quark. It uses round-ended text frames. When using the simplest method of corner options, the ends aren't proper semicircles, even though the radius is set to half the height of the frame.
The other problem is that I can't reduce the width sufficiently to make it look balanced. I use the direct selection tool to close in the right-hand end, so that I don't distort the shape. There's no right indent for the paragraph, but as I reduce the width the text breaks into two lines, even though I've greater space after the text than the left indent. My best solution was to create the shape in Illustrator and copy and paste into InDesign, assign text content, centre thte text vertically, use 3mm left indent. I still couldn't pull the right-hand end in tight enough. So I had to resort to making a group of the lozenge shape with a normal rectangular text frame on top.
Does anyone know why these problems occur, and can Adobe improve the corner option?

One last refinement: It's convenient if the script allows you to Undo/Redo its actions -- let me add that for completeness' sake. The following is the complete script again, no further editing required.
//DESCRIPTION:Overlay round corners on a single textframe
// A Jongware Script 2-Apr-2012
app.doScript(function(textframe){
if (textframe instanceof Group && textframe.pageItems.length == 2)
roundedRect = app.selection[0].polygons[0];
textframe = app.selection[0].textFrames[0];
textframe.properties = {strokeWeight:roundedRect.strokeWeight,strokeTint:roundedRect.strokeTint,strokeColor:roundedRect.strokeColor};
roundedRect.remove();
app.selection[0].ungroup();
left = textframe.geometricBounds[1];
right = textframe.geometricBounds[3];
height = textframe.geometricBounds[2] - textframe.geometricBounds[0];
center = (textframe.geometricBounds[2] + textframe.geometricBounds[0])/2;
radius = height/2;
leftRounded = textframe.parent.ovals.add({geometricBounds:[center-radius,left-radius,center+radius,left+radius]});
riteRounded = textframe.parent.ovals.add({geometricBounds:[center-radius,right-radius,center+radius,right+radius]});
rectBetween = textframe.parent.rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[center-radius,left,center+radius,right]});
roundedRect = rectBetween.addPath([leftRounded,riteRounded]);
roundedRect.properties = {strokeWeight:textframe.strokeWeight,strokeTint:textframe.strokeTint,strokeColor:textframe.strokeColor};
textframe.properties = {strokeWeight:0};
app.select(textframe.parent.groups.add([roundedRect,textframe]));
}, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, app.selection[0], UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Overlay Round Corners");

Non-printing text frame for use in exported pdf

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of words in a text frame and I've set the text frame to be be non-printing in the attributes panel. I was hoping that by doing this, that when I exported to pd, it would show in the pdf file but not print, but as it happens it doesn't show at all in the pdf.
Is there a way to mark a text frame as non-printing in Indesign but still have it show in the pdf and not print in the pdf?
Would be grateful for any advice.

It might work to put it on it's own layer, mark the layer as non-printing, so it won't print from ID, but export a layered PDF (you might have to include non-printing layers to get it inthe PDF, but I don't think so). In Acrobat pro you can then change the layer properties to visible, but non-printing. It's a real pain to do this.

How can I read non-deleted text messages from months ago without having to continuously press "Load Earlier Messages"?

I never deleted text messages from a specific person in case I ever wanted to go back and look at them. Now months have gone by and I don't feel like continuously pressing "Load Earlier Messages" for hours trying to get back and look at them. Is there anyway I can upload the whole conversation on to my computer and read the entire conversation from the beginning?

Yes.
I use iBackupBot.

Please help! How can I change the font / text size for the checkout page? I asked Support and they sent me here- thanks in advance for your response.

Hello everyone! I build an e-commerce shopping cart via BC and integrated it with a muse website as seen at sarahcosmetics .com
Everything is great, but my clients clients are complaining they cannot see the text well once they're in the checkout page.
I was able to enlarge the font in my Registration-Buy form in the Online Shop Layouts / Module Templates under the Site Manager. This helped enlarge the font size in the checkout form however my issue arrises on the next page when they have to enter their details like CC information name, address etc. the font is way too small and I'm not sure where to access the tools to enlarge that.
If you could PLEASE help I would greatly appreciate it. I told my client I would handle it asap and I have no idea how to fix this.
Thank you in advance for your help.

InDesign CS3: How do i add a new text frame to an existing threaded story?

I have a table that is much too large to be in an existing story (my document is currently formatted in 2 columns, but the table that I need to insert needs to span across an entire page) so I had to create a separate text frame for it. What I need to do is break the text thread and reroute the story so that the table is included. Is there a way to do this?

With the selection tool click the outport of the frame you want before the table, then the inport of the frame that should have the table, then the outport of that frame and the inport of the one that should follow.
You'll need to put the table into a separate paragraph, and that paragraph should be set to start in a new frame, as should the one that follows (you can also accomplish the frame transitions by inserting frame breaks).

How can I get Multi-color text it a swing componet?

How can I get Multi-color text it a swing componet?
I've tryed JTextPane and JEditorPane.
If they support having text in more then one color then I don't see how.
I want to make a color-coded Java editor in Java, but I can't color-code if I can only have one color.
JComponent.setForeground(Color fg)
is not what I need.
maybe Java doesn't support it yet.
but I hope it does.
Please help, thanks.

Hi,
I've made you a little example with a coloured JEditorPane and JTextPane:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ColorDemo extends JFrame {
 public ColorDemo() {
 super("ColorDemo");

 JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane("text/html",
 " This "+
 " is "+
 " a "+
 " JEditorPane ");
 editorPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
 // coloured JTextPane
 JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
 textPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
 Document doc = textPane.getDocument();
 Style def = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().
 getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
 try {
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.blue);
 doc.insertString (0, "This ", def);
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.red);
 doc.insertString (5, "is ", def);
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.green);
 doc.insertString (8, "a ", def);
 StyleConstants.setBold(def, true);
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.black);
 doc.insertString (10, "JTextPane", def);
 } catch (Exception e) {}
 JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
 contentPane.add(textPane);
 contentPane.add(editorPane);
 setContentPane(contentPane);
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 JFrame frame = new ColorDemo();
 frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
 public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
 System.exit(0);
 frame.pack();
 frame.setVisible(true);
}Hope this helps,
Kurt.

In your example, the 'Whoever' bit is just plain text. i.e. no hyperlink (for me).
I think you are talking about the links on the list of threads, whereas Aketi is referring to the link in the actual thread (at the top of the page).I feel a litlte outgunned {noformat};){noformat} ..... however I currently stand by my postulation their is no URL hyperlink where both the threadID (2234623 for this thread) and messageID (eg 9651344 for this post) are present in the same URL. URLs with the messageID obviously link to the thread on the basis the message is a child of the thread, but the threadID is not explicily present in this case.

How can I get just the text to resize, rather than the entire web page?

I used to be able to re-size just text on a webpage by typing Ctrl + +. Today, the entire webpage re-sizes, and when I move to another page it reverts. (I see this mostly in Facebook.). Why did this change, and can I go back to having just the text re-size?

Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

You will need to find a third party solution for online storage in order to share things like photos with others. Some popular solutions to this are dropbox and sugarsync.
You cannot sync non-iCloud email accounts across your iOS devices and computers unless they are IMAP accounts like iCloud. If they are IMAP accounts, you will do it in the same way as you have always done.

What is the best way to import a graphic? & How do I create a text frame for a figure caption?

Hello all! I've been working from the FM book for almost 2 hrs trying to figure this out, so now I need your help. I am almost to this point:
Problem I: Importing a graphic
First of all, which is the best way?
-Insert an anchor frame and then import the graphic into the frame OR
-Just insert the graphic and get the anchor frame by default
Here’s my importing and sizing problem:
I hit ENTER to make a new paragraph line (side note: the book says make a new paragraph by hitting ENTER, import the graphic, and then ESC m+p to shrink wrap so that you can avoid the graphic overlapping the above text. I do exactly this (I believe), but my graphic still overlaps the above text when I shrink wrap. What the...?)
I insert an anchored frame with position Below Current Line and alignment CENTER (I chose to the insert anchor frame, since this way I have control over its alignment, correct?)
Anchor frame is selected when I import my image file
In the Imported Graphic Scaling box, what do I select if my file is HUGE (3072x2304)?
-Fit in selected rectangle (when I choose this the image imports small and fits in the anchored frame with lots of white space around it)
-72 dpi
-75 dpi
-150 dpi
-300 dpi
-Custom dpi: 96 (I’ve tried changing this to a smaller number (20) and I get a message that says “cannot handle a bitmap of that size.”)
I’ve had the best luck with selecting FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, and then I just scale the image with my shift+click. If I choose 72 dpi or Custom, my image imports HUGE, and I just can’t manage it. I don’t have a method for resizing these images outside of FM.
Problem II: Creating a text frame for a caption
Once I have chosen FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, I try to insert a text box underneath the image (and inside the anchor frame) to type a caption in it.
In Create New Text Frame box, the default is Number 1 and Gap 0.25. I click SET.
Next, I double-click inside the text frame to begin typing, but the cursor is OUTSIDE and UNDERNEATH the text frame! What the heck??? I’ve done this before and it has worked just fine. Then I had another problem where when I did get the text inside the text frame, I would select the text frame to move it, and it left the text behind! (I moved the frame but the text was separated from it and left behind.)
THANK YOU in advance for your help. I hope I wrote this out clearly enough. I appreciate those who respond. P.S. I'm in FM 10.

My favorite method is to use a one-cell table for graphics and captions.
Import the graphic by reference into the table cell. Create a "Caption"
paragraph tag and assign it to the table title. (The title can be set
for above or below the table cell. I prefer below.) Now, whenever you
insert this table, it will be ready for graphic and caption. Another
advantage of this method is that graphic and caption always stay
together at page/column breaks.
When you create the table format above, assign it to have a -2.0 space
above. Then, create a paragraph tag, such as "TableAnchor" and assign it
-2.0 pt font size and -2.0 space below. (You can substitute a different
point size, but it must be the same in all three places. The TableAnchor
paragraph will hold the table and these settings let tables fit against
the top margin where necessary. Otherwise, they dip down a bit.
I wrote this from memory, so I hope I remembered all the steps!

How can I print out all texts from one person

How can I printall of my texts from my very bad lawyer?

It's not a file, so you can't "open" one file. Every message (and note) is a single file on the computer.
This Applescript will grab all the notes in the selected mailbox (i.e. the selected Notes item in Mail) and put them in a textEdit document.
Note that Mail doesn't differentiate between a note and an email message, so if you run this while a normal email mailbox is selected, it will gather all of your email messages.
tell application "Mail"
set theMailboxes to the selected mailboxes of message viewer 0
repeat with aMailbox in theMailboxes
set theNotes to the messages of aMailbox
set theText to ""
repeat with aNote in theNotes
set theText to theText & content of aNote & return
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
set myDocument to make new document at end of documents with properties {text:theText}
end tell
Copy and paste this into a new AppleScript Editor Document, select the Notes mailboxes you want to print the notes from, and click the Run button (Green button with arrow).
This may take a while.
