Hello, for a multilingual catalog project I would have to know how and with what tool I can place text from Excel or a database in text frames / tables. The basic idea is to provide the text box with an ID (eg << text_eng_art_nr_987654>>) and above to make the connection. Does anyone have a tip. Thanks in advance !!!

Data merge is really useful in many circumstances, but my first question would be about the size of the project. A really large catalog might be better handled by processing an IDML in some kind of translation memory tool.
If all of your multilingual content is already in Excel, then it's probably best handled with a Data Merge. Note that you can't save Unicode CSV out of Excel for the merge, so for many languages you'll need to save "Unicode Text" out of Excel and tweak your import settings when you select a Data Source for encoding (Unicode) and delimiter (tab instead of comma).

Can an InCopy editor add, remove and edit a text frame placed inside the main story text frame?

I think I already know the answer to this which is - no. I'll explain why I am asking the question in a second, but the reason I think the simple answer is no is because - text frames are controlled by a designer in the layout file, an editor using incopy can only edit the text and images placed inside text frames, and so cannot resize them, add or delete them.
Ok, so the reason I have asked this.
Is there a way around this so that editors in incopy can edit certain types of text frame that are contained within the main text frame? I'm using these text frames to contain specific paragraph styles, giving them a boxed look and also with an anchored icon in the top left of the text frame depending on the type of paragraph it is. See screenshot as an example of a green text frame that I am using to contain paragraphs of type "tip".
If it is not possible for editors in incopy to add, edit or resize these text frames (green tip frame in the example above), then how else can I style these paragraphs to give the same visual appearance, but without the use of wrapping them in a text frame?
One (not so good) way around this is for the designer to add the text frames in the layout file after he gets the content back from the editor, then moving the "tip" paragraphs into these newly created text frames. However when the editor updates the content in incopy and gets these new text frames in their copy, they can not then delete them if they wish to, or if they add or reduce content inside of these green text frames then the frames dont grow to fit their edited content. So I dont think its a solution for the designer to control the adding, removing and resizing of these frames.
UPDATE: I have just discovered that once a text frame has been placed into the document by the designer and the editor updates their copy in incopy- they can then use the "Position Tool" to select that text frame - allowing them to resize it, or delete it! Fantastic. But would the editor be able to add these frames in themselves to begin with? Maybe have a document containing all of the objects available to them, copy and paste one of them into the main document and edit its content? Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this? Essentially I would like the editor to control the insertion, editing and removal of these inline text frames.

True. But when all I am trying to achieve is a border around a paragraph, use of a table seems overkill to me. But if thats the only solution I have so far then I will have to go down that route.
It would be useful to have an object libraries panel in InCopy so that editors can drag across predefined text frames into their doc via InCopy, but I cant see that option in InCopy. is there one? I have also thought about exporting the frames as seperate InDesign Snippets and saving them to an objects folder, then when an editor needs to insert one into their doc they simply use File > Place > "Choose required text frame snippet". However I have found that InCopy can't place InDesign snippets so that theory was a failure. Is there another format I could use to save the objects and bring them into InCopy? List below shows my findings so far for trying to save/export a text frame from InDesign and then import into InCopy:
InDesign Snippet (.idms) - can't import into InCopy
InDesign Document (.indd) - imports content as an image - only editable in InDesign
InDesign Template (.indt) - imports content as an image - only editable in InDesign
InDesign Library (.indl) - can't import into InCopy - no panel available in InCopy for object libraries (that I can see...)
InCopy Markup (.icml) - only imports the text, loses the text frame

Adding pages and Text Frames to emulate the behaviour of "Smart Text Reflow"

I am creating a large number of tables in a document. If I have Smart Text reflow turned on, my script does not work properly. I have the start of the processing:
1. Add a new table
2. If the last page text frame overflows then Add a new page
With smartTextReflow turned off, I want to ensure that new text frames that match the primary text frames from the master page. It has to be able to handle getting the parameters from the left/right page text frame.

I have been able to solve my problem. I was really overthinking things!!!
Since I have designated the text frames on the master pages as primary text frames, when creating a new page, a text frame is created automatically. So the problem is then just link the previous text frame to the text frame that was created when adding the page.
TableAutomation.prototype.AddPage = function() {
     var previousTextFrame = app.activeDocument.pages[-2].textFrames[0];
     var np = app.activeDocument.pages.add();
     var textFrame = np.textFrames[0];
     previousTextFrame.nextTextFrame = textFrame;
The cost of the above code was about 5 hours of banging my head against the wall

This is my first use of this program. How do I remove a page break? How do line up my drop down box along side the text box on the left of it? The drop down is for a multiple choice answer for the question to the left.

If the messages are stored on the device and you can power the device up you can use the application posted at https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/770529 , the application has a screen capture option and you can use the screen as a guide to install MyBackup from Market or a number of backup apps from Market and then you can run the applications and backup data to your SD Card to restore to the replacement device.

Change X, Y position of a text frame based on some conditions

Hi All,
I am trying to re-position the Y position alone of all text frames in a documennt if that text frame has certain Y position. Here is the code I tried.
It works, but, it place all the text frames in to the given myTextFrame.move ( ["216.425 pt","54 pt"] ); one on another. Whereas, I need to change Y position of only the text frames with the following conditions.
The conditions are:
If X="216.425 pt" AND Y="103.89 pt", change to X="216.425 pt" and Y="54 pt"   OR
If X="216.425 pt" AND Y="78.945 pt", change to X="216.425 pt" and Y="54 pt"    OR
If X="216.425 pt" AND Y="79.157 pt", change to X="216.425 pt" and Y="54 pt"    OR
If X="213.425 pt" AND Y="486.647 pt", change to X="216.425 pt" and Y="54 pt"    OR
If X="213.425 pt" AND Y="74.409 pt", change to X="216.425 pt" and Y="54 pt"
Please help me on this to add the above conditions into the following code and reposition only the text frames has the above said XY positions. Is there anyother way other than "move" statement?
var myDocument=app.activeDocument;
var myPages=myDocument.pages;
    for(p=0;p<myPages.length;p++) {
    var allTextFrames=myPages[p].textFrames;
        for (s=0; s<allTextFrames.length; s++) {
                    var myTextFrame = allTextFrames[s];
                    var myTextFrameBounds = myTextFrame.geometricBounds;
                    var properly_aligned = "54 pt";
                        if ((myTextFrameBounds[0] = "103.89 pt") && (myTextFrameBounds[1] ="216.425 pt")) {
                            myTextFrame.move ( ["216.425 pt","54 pt"] );

Hi Jongware,
Thanks for your reply.
I have modified the code little bit after referring one of the post. Here is the updated code. It is working fine for the whole number (var oldposition1) as input value and does not work for decimal values (var oldposition2, var oldposition3, var oldposition4 and var oldposition5). However, it repositions the frames with decimal values (newposition1, newposition2 and newposition3). I am facing problem with the decimal input values for original position of text frames. Is there any other way to give decimal values as input as my document comes with these decimal values as X, Y position.
var oldposition1 = [216, 103] // original position, upper left corner
var oldposition2 = [216.425, 78.945] // original position, upper left corner
var oldposition3 = [216.425, 79.157] // original position, upper left corner
var oldposition4 = [213.425, 74.409] // original position, upper left corner
var oldposition5 = [213.425, 486.647] // original position, upper left corner
var newposition1 = [216.425, 54] // new position, upper left corner
var newposition2 = [36, 54] // new position, upper left corner
var newposition3 = [216.425, 437.4] // new position, upper left corner
var myObjects = app.activeDocument.pageItems.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i=0; i<myObjects.length; i++){
    if (Math.round(myObjects[i].geometricBounds[1])==oldposition1[0]&&Math.round(myObjects[i].ge ometricBounds[0])==oldposition1[1]){
        myObjects[i].move(newposition1);
    else if (Math.round(myObjects[i].geometricBounds[1])==oldposition2[0]&&Math.round(myObjects[i].ge ometricBounds[0])==oldposition2[1]){
        myObjects[i].move(newposition1);
    else if (Math.round(myObjects[i].geometricBounds[1])==oldposition3[0]&&Math.round(myObjects[i].ge ometricBounds[0])==oldposition3[1]){
        myObjects[i].move(newposition1);
    else if (Math.round(myObjects[i].geometricBounds[1])==oldposition4[0]&&Math.round(myObjects[i].ge ometricBounds[0])==oldposition4[1]){
        myObjects[i].move(newposition1);
    else if (Math.round(myObjects[i].geometricBounds[1])==oldposition5[0]&&Math.round(myObjects[i].ge ometricBounds[0])==oldposition5[1]){
        myObjects[i].move(newposition3);

Joanne Murray J2 What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what operating system (including 32 or 64 bit) is your Premiere Elements installed? Forgive the questions if you have been there and done that, but I do not want to take anything for granted that might hinder a speedy resolution to your issue. Are you opening an already created title that is sitting on the Timeline in order to edit it in the Titler or are you trying to create a new Title (Default Text or other)? Do you know how to work with the Selection Tool and Type Tool in the Titler? Once I know what version of Premiere Elements that you are using, I will give you specific how to details. Thanks. ATR

2 Repeating Frames based on the same group

I have this report which contains 3 groups, I have the requirement to break the 2nd group so that I create a 'footer' based on the 2nd group.
I have created 2 repeating frames (one which holds the account number, payment terms, currency) and the 2nd repeating frame based on the same group which contains the bank details
My report looks like this:
(1st Group)
Customer xxxxx
Address xxxxx
(2nd Group)
Account No xxxxx
Payment Terms xxxxx
Currency xxx
(3rd Group -repeating)
Trans id xxx
amount xxx
(2nd Group)
Bank Details xxxxxxxxxx <--will only have one per account
I had originally designed the report using 2 identical frame structure.
e.g.
Main
Repeating Group Customer
Repeating Group Account
Repeating Group Transactions
Footer
Repeating Group Customer
Repeating Group Account
This format worked when the Main group did not go over a page. The 2 Account Groups were coordinated.
When the Main group extended to more than one page, the 2 Account Groups did not match.
The jest of what I am trying to do is a footer of the bank details be printed at the bottom of the page always.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I didn't realise that this was such a difficult problem to solve. The requirements are quite simple (I thought)
1) Query
3) Groups
a) Company
b) Accounts
c) Transactions
My report needs to look like this:
{page 1}
COMPANY XXXXX
ACCOUNT: 123
Invoice ID Amount
aaaaaaaaaa 111.11
bbbbbbbb 111.11
Sub Total 222.22
--> To be printed at a predefined space on the physical page on each page. bold Bank Details for Account 123: xxxx bold
{page 2}
COMPANY XXXXX
ACCOUNT: 456
Invoice ID Amount
aaa 10
bbb 20
ccc 30
ddd 40
....<as many records that will force a second page
--> but..this still needs to print!!!To be printed at a predefined space on the physical page on each page. bold Bank Details for Account 456: xxxx bold
{page 3}
zzz 100
Sub Total 1000
--> To be printed at a predefined space on the physical page on each page. bold Bank Details for Account 456: xxxx bold
Say the next records in the query are for
COMPANY XXXXX, ACCOUNT 789 with one detail record.
COMPANY XXXXX, ACCOUNT 321 with multiple details records which will force a second page.
What is happening at the moment is that the 2 repeating frames based on the Account Group,
the first 2 pages will print out correctly, however, because the 2nd account goes over 2 pages and how I have this set the structure of the report (see above post), the bottom Account Group thinks that the account number is now 789 when in fact the top account group is still on 456
I really hope that this is clearer.
I am working on Reports 10g on a 10g database
I have tried to create a ref cursor & separate the query to bring back bank details. but with no luck.
A person had suggested that I create a separate frame and hold the bank details, which is fine. but as I previously stated, those bank details need to print on every page at a specific area on the physical page.
If this might be of use:
Repeating Frame Group Customer, Vertical & Horizontal elasticity Fixed
Repeating Frame Group Account, Vertical Elasticity: Variable & Horizontal - Fixed
Repeating Frame Group Transations, Vertical Elasticity: Expand & Horizontal - Fixed
