How to highlight hyperlink destinations?

I created a button in inDesign and once a user clicks it, it goes to a paragraph where I have inserted a Text Anchor. Since there are several other text blocks (paragraphs) on the page I layed out, is there anyway to highlight the paragraph where the Text Anchor is? I want users to know exactlty where to start reading.
If this is possible, besides highlighting, is there any way to have a graphic element like a small red dor or arrow to appear next to the Text Anchored text block?
Thank you for any help!
Best,
John

Your best bet would be to view the text in the Story Editor. Choose Edit > Edit in Story Editor. Another window will open which just shows the text of the current story. The text anchor shows as a little target (circled below in the Story Editor window). There is a much more subtle indicator if you choose Type > Show Hidden Characters (the : [colon] in the same location in the normal dispay of the text.

How to change hyperlink destinations

Hi, I would like to have a different setting for the
hyperlink destination for two layouts. For one layout I want the
links to open in a new window; for the other layout I want the
links to open in the same window. Is there a way I can change the
link destinations for the entire project; or is the only option
change each link individually? Thanks, Becky

From what I can work out you have two options - well three if
you include amending the links individually. My favoured method
would be to have two links and use build tags for each one and
assign these to your layouts. The other method would be use a find
and replace tool (e.g.
FAR. You can go into the
truecode to see the syntax required to be found and replaced. But
before you do anything with a find and replace tool, take a backup
of your project.

How to highlight drop destination

I have an application that allows the user to categorize items by dragging them to a list of categories, represented by simple textual labels. The drag and drop functionality works fine; but it's difficult for the user to see which category is the drop target, since there seems to be no faclity in Swing to highlight a drop target in real time.
Some of the buit-in objects do on the fly highlighting-- for example, you can see where your data will be dropped via a moving insertion point in a JTextField object-- but I don't see anything I can override or implement to provide this capability more generally.
I tried setting a MouseMotionListener on the drop targets, but you don't get mouse events during a drag (at least they were never called).
I can't believe there's no ability in Swing to do this. What am I overlooking?

I am not aware of anyhting, except maybe in Release 6 I think they might be adding stuff, but if you're implementing d'n'd yourself, you have the ability to register a DropTargetListener which can do the highlighting. Here are some of the methods of one I wrote a long time ago:     public void dragEnter(DropTargetDragEvent dtde) {
          ViewMediator.getInstance().highlightViewContainer(dtde.getLocation());
     public void dragOver(DropTargetDragEvent dtde) {
          ViewMediator.getInstance().highlightViewContainer(dtde.getLocation());
     public void dropActionChanged(DropTargetDragEvent dtde) {
     public void dragExit(DropTargetEvent e) {
          ViewMediator.getInstance().highlightViewContainer(null);
     }In general terms you highlight according to the location of the mouse pointer within your droptarget (via getLocation()).

How to automatically create hyperlink destinations based on numbered list?

I am very new to InDesign and am creating a template for an academic journal. Each article contains a list of references at the end and the references are cited in the main text (like what you see in Wikipedia if you are not familiar with scientfic journal articles). In exported HTML, the citation in the main text should be hyperlinked to the coressponding reference in the reference list. I have two questions:
1) It is possible to ask paragraphy style to assign each numbered item a hyperlink destination? If this is possible, I can then manually inserted hyperlinks in the main text.
2) one step further, is there any way (e.g. script) which can then insert hyperlink to those destinations based on pattern match? For example, in main text, the citation to reference #1 appear in the text as [1] which should be hyperlinked to reference #1.
One more question, is there anyone who knows how academic journals handle the flow from InDesign to html? Certainly, the exported html cannot go directly online without further editing.
Thank you.

Hi Eric,
I posted the script here. But it should be adjusted to your particular document. (Anyone with basic scripting knowledge can do this). I am sure it won’t work as it is. I assume that “comments” and “references” are in two different stories.
Can I have the scripts from you (for a fee or free)?
I don't sell my scripts: they're free.
Can the scripts handle the pattens like these [3], [1-5], [3,4], [6, 8, 11-13]?
This script can't, but another handles both single page numbers and page ranges like so:
I can post it as well.
Now I’d like to make one thing clear:
I made a set of scripts for creating hyperlinks in InDesign documents for further exporting them to ePub/HTML. I can’t make a script that would work for everyone because all books are very different. I simply adjusted scripts for every book I had to work with (mainly changing GREP expressions and names of styles) and I have numerous variations of scripts. I can post them if someone is interested but you should be aware that they have to be reworked.

How do I delete this non-existent hyperlink destination?

New to Indesign.
I need to use the "Blank White" header text as a hypertext destination and I want the name of the hypertext destination to be the same as the text.
When I try, I get:
Yet, there seems to be NO hypertext definition already in existence by this name. See:
Now . . . I have been dinking around in this document for hours creating and deleting hypertext destinations, making bookmarks, trying out text variables, etc etc.
I'm afraid that all this back and forth may have screwed up my file(s) and now I've got some phantom, hidden hypertext destination I can't find and is therefore undeletable.

That's a great suggestion, and I tried it, but the undeletable Hyperlink Destination survived.
And still didn't show up in the list of already defined Hyperlink Destinations:
So, I started eliminating layers and trying again to define a new Hyperlink Destination using the name "Blank White" that was somehow taken, each time I'd delete an entire.
After nixing a few layers, I was actually able to use "Blank White" again. I kept going . . .
Once I knew the affected layer, I then narrowed it down to text object responsible. Guess which one it was . . .
Yeah, the "Blank White" header itself.
Apparently I'd used the same exact text to define two Hyperlink Destinations, and in that case the Hyperlink Destination named "Blank White" didn't show up in the Hyperlink Destination Options dialogue.
Had to delete the affected text, then re-type it and re-define my Hyperlink Destination.
geeze . . .
Steve, thanks for your help, though!

Cross-references to hyperlink destinations (text anchors) results in file slowdown

I'm using text anchors for the first time in a 12-file book (~280 pages) for the table/figure list in the front matter. There are maybe 100 or so total cross-references in the front matter in tables (where one column is the text of the figure title and one column the page number).
About halfway through the process of adding the cross references, things got reallllly slow, and only in that one document. So slow that reformatting became almost impossible, because of the delays.
So I went through many of the usual troubleshooting steps, just in case. Trashed preferences, trashed the style, etc. I exported the file to IDML and created a new file from that. It helped, but I can tell that it's still not quite so snappy.
My question, then, is if this is to be expected with what may be a large number of hyperlinks/text anchors? All the other files in the book act fine, so it's not an InDesign-wide slowdown. Are there any best practices when it comes to using hyperlink destinations?
As an amusing aside, before I tried the troubleshooting steps I had a clever idea--to insert the cross references into a new, blank document and then paste them into the frontmatter file. Consist and ugly crashes to desktop resulted.

Peter,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, the TOC could do this and would be an easier approach. But I hadn't anticipated using it and so didn't have my ducks in a row as far as having the styles consistent for chapter titles, figures and tables. Next time I will do so. I can guess that as a TOC doesn't generate live links, it shouldn't have a performance impact like dozens of cross-references do.
Yes, the TOC is inert except when it's being generated.
Regardless of how "creatively chaotic" or "chaotically creative" your chapter, table, and figure title paragraph styles are, as long as all chapter titles are tagged with style names that are not used for figures or tables, and similarly figures and tables are not tagged with styles used for the "other," you can still generate a usable TOC. The idea is to capture all the paragraph styles for each category, and display each category's captured paragraphs as uniform TOC entries - i. e., all chapter title entries are the same, all table title entries are the same, and all table title entries are the same. If you don't want the categories intermixed, create a separate TOC for each category, place each TOC separately, unthreaded to other document frames.
If you'd like to try a few things to see if it's possible to quickly remake the TOC and regain a responsive working document, before doing anything else, save the whole project to a secure place, and work on the copy. Then:
* Move the Text tool insertion point to each cross-reference's destination by selecting the reference in the cross-reference panel and clicking the right-pointing arrow on the panel status bar; then verify that the paragraph is tagged with an appropriate style that doesn't belong to the other category of TOC items.
* After all the TOC-to-be items are identified and verified that they're tagged correctly, delete the text frame(s) that contain the TOC that's created with cross-references. All the references will break, of course. You've got the secure original project somewhere, right?
* Set up the TOC roughly; just pick the paragraph styles for each category - chapter, figure, table, and generate a TOC for the book. Drag to place the TOC on a clean new page, and DO NOT THREAD THE TOC TO NON-TOC TEXT FRAMES.
* If the extracted paragraphs are in their correct categories, you can create new TOC styles for the TOC entries, or, if they exist, assign them in the TOC setup dialog box, and regenerate.
If this result gives you a sense of what needs fixing, and you have the time, refine the TOC styles so you can get the exact appearance you want. By avoiding changing the source paragraphs in the main document, you'll avoid any risk of reflowing anything. Finally, after the project's completely done and handed off, you can spend time refining the rogue source paragraph styles, IN A COPY, for use going forward.

Unchecking "Shared Hyperlink Destination" causes InDesign CS5.5 to crash

This occurs on multiple Macs (running either Leopard or Snow Leopard) in our office. The links are connected to conditional text in InCopy. Here's the scenario:
1) Open the InDesign document and select the linked text.
2) Get a dialog box: "You must check out the contents of this frame in order to make changes. Check out now?" Click "Yes."
3) Copy the text of the link, right-click and select "New Hyperlink."
4) In the "New Hyperlink" window, paste in the text of the URL (leaving in the http://).
5) Uncheck "Shared Hyperlink Destination." InDesign immediately crashes.
I've been told by our designers that you have to uncheck "Shared Hyperlink Destination" to prevent changes to all of the other related links in the document. I don't work with InDesign on a regular basis and have very limited knowledge of InCopy. I tested the current version of InDesign (7.5.3) on my Mac and the same crash occurred.

Thanks to you both. Excuse my ignorance - I presumed that 7.5.3 was a paid-for-upgrade to Creative Suite 6 (or higher?!)... I thought I had the Updater set to prompt me for updates, but I obviously didn't.
Anyhow - I've since run the updater, but the crash happens the same way. Here's the new crash report.
http://pastebin.com/JNvtTRbn
Hopefully there's something of use in this - I really don't want to have to manually do this: I have nearly 200 film titles that need to be listed in alphabetical order with their respective page number, and the TOC feature would be the perfect solution if it actually worked...
As a matter of interest, how stable is Creative Suite 6 / Creative Cloud? Worth the leap?

Import list of hyperlink destinations

Howdy. I'm going to be adding text hyperlinks to an existing InDesign file. I'll have to do it somewhat manually because the same text will get linked to different URLs in different places. What would save me a lot of time is if I could import my entire list of possible hyperlink destinations, so they'll be available via the pop-up menu in the hyperlinks panel. How might I suck in a whole list of URLs in one fell swoop?

You can create and edit hyperlinks that send users to external web sites, other pages within a site, email addresses, and phone numbers.

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer?

When you follow a hyperlink in Excel, usually it should open in your default browser. You shouldn't have to do anything special in Excel to create the link when Firefox is your default browser compared with IE. However, the Insert Hyperlink dialog might work differently. I think it might be able to automatically pre-populate a URL from IE, while in Firefox, you need to copy the URL from Firefox's address bar and paste it into the Insert Link dialog.

How to highlight the messages in the WDA?

hi experts,
Iam new to Webdynpro.i just want to know how to highlight the texts displayed . like BOLD,italic etc and also colors.
Regards,
murthy.

I dont think you have it via standard message area. Probably you can have a TextView UI element and use the properties Design and semanticColor to achieve this. If you have a contextNode , thats mapped to the texview and message manager writing text to this node. Solution should work.

How to remove hyperlink in Reports Region

How to remove hyperlink in a Report region (Based on some filter condition)
Example : In Report Region, I am getting value as 10, 20, 30, 0, 44, 55, 0
In the above value, I need to remove the hyperlink for 0 values.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Balaji S

If you want a link column for values other than 0 and a blank for those with 0 then the best way to do this is to use a case or a decode to return a LINK image or text to a hidden column; I usually return the Edit icon only. You can then use the 'column link' region on a different column to create a link in the usual way and set the Link Text to the hidden column (e.g. #EDIT# in the example below). If you have set the target page to require a Checksum this will then be added without having to code it into your sql. E.g.
SELECT some_columns,
CASE WHEN numcol != 0 THEN '<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#e2.gif" alt="">'
ELSE null
END "EDIT"
FROM your_tableIf you want the same column value, but those of 0 to not have a link and those other than 0 to have a link then you need to code the link into your sql. e.g.
SELECT some_columns,
DECODE (numcol,0,numcol,'<a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:11:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:11::">'||numcol||'</a>') "EDIT"
FROM your_table# = your URL e.g f?p=&APP_ID.:11:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:11::
If you require a checksum on the link you need to add the apex_util.prepare_url function to the URL.
Cheers
Shunt
