How to scale text and text frame together by specifying measurements

Hi all,
I have a text frame that's 200mm wide (for example) and need to be able to scale it proportionally, along with the text it contains, by specifying the new width in mm (rather than as a percentage). Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I'm using InDesign CC 2014.
Many thanks
Jason

Maybe with a script, but I don't know of a way to do it in one step, the way you can scale with a percentage. If you want to do it in a few steps, this will work:
Set the position proxy to the left side of the text frame so that when you change the size, it will expand to the right
Change the size of the text frame to the size you need it to be
Snap a guide to the right edge of the text frame
Change the size of the text frame back to what it was before
Shift-Command drag the right side of the text frame until it snaps to the guide
That will get you want you want, but it's probably not the way you would prefer to do it.

    hi Atul kumar jais
    You have to create a text variable using replacement path for processing type and give the reference object which is the object which you created variable for, "replace with" one with key and anther one with text. Then you can display that in the header of the column or if you are using custom template, you can use webitem for it.

    hi,
      You cannot use the logical and  or condition together at the same time in SQL statement. Sachin is correct while using the and and or in the same condition. You can get the data using or condition in SQL statement, and then use the delete statement of internal table using the end condition. please find the following code for the same.
    select *
      from dtab
    where cond1 eq 'A1'
         or cond2 eq 'A2'.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
      delete itab where cond1 eq 'A1' and 'A2'.
    endif.

  • Selection text and text elements contents not displayed

    I have a language related problem
    I have 2 servers .
    In first server I logged in english language and the selection text and text elements are displayed in English.
    The requirement is I dont want to translate these texts it should be displayed in English only even if I log into SAP with other language.
    So if I log in german I see the texts in English in the first server.
    But this is not the case with second.
    If I log in with English I see the english texts but if I do in german I am not able to see this english text with proper contents .
    Can anybody let me know if there are any settings to be done ? As its working fine in first server but not in second .

    instead of using text element you hard the text in the program then you will display the text in same in English.

  • What is the difference between Standard text and Text Symbols?

    Hi,
                1.Difference between Standard text and text symbol,?
                2. Which we use Standard symbol?

    Text symbol
    Text symbols are symbols representing text elements. In fact, a text symbol can be defined for every text elements. The reading of the form is easier in the SAPscript editor. The name of the text symbol must not exceed 32 characters and its value 60 characters. The value assignement can be done in two ways:
    - Using the following command: "/: DEFINE &SYMBOL&='TEST_SYMBOLE'"
    - Using a standard text symbol.
    The text symbol value is temporary stored. When the print program finishes the execution, the text symbol does not exist anymore. The text symbol must have a value when it is declared.
    Also check this link,
    http://www.supinfo-projects.com/en/2005/forms_sapscript_en/5/
    Standard text are good, if you are using them in more than one SAPScript, because you have to maintain them only once, and not in every SAPScript.
    It is really good to write rarely changing texts into the SO10 standard texts (for example company name, and address).
    standard text is not always used in scripts. when ever u want to display some data u need to use standard text so that the data gets displayed. Say, u have a large piece of document which needs to be printed at end of script... rather than writing the whole thing in script, we create standard text using SO10 and then use the name along with standard text in script.

  • Text and some images together in a scrolling effect

    Hi.
    All the tutorials I find about scrolling effects are just with simple text. And all the tutorials about images don't say anything about applying it together with text.
    I have a rather simple scrolling credits at the end of my video and wanted to have three or four logos at the end. (I'd do anything for the sponsors hehe).
    The only way I could find to do this is to have two different scrolling effects to each individual image and another one for the text and move them back and forth until they fit. Even harder is to make them scroll at the same speed. Right now I've got one logo at the right speed, making them all do that will take hours.
    Does anyone know an easier way? How can I add the images into the text?

    Do you have Photoshop?
    Start with one of the video presets in PS that has the same pixel dimesions as your video footage.
    Make sure it is transparent.
    Add a New Layer and color it black with Shift F5 - this is only temporary to help you see the text while you compose it.
    Add a new text layer. Type your titles. When you need more space extend the lower part of the PS canvas: Image > Canvas Size. Repeat this as often as you need.
    Paste your logos.
    When you are done, go to the black layer and delete it.
    Go to Layers > Merge Visible.
    Save as a TIFF with the Preserve Transparency option checked on.
    Import into FCP (or FCE), make it as long as you need and superimpose on your background.
    Double click to place in the Viewer and set the scale to 100%.
    Use the position contols to move your titles up the screen. Render.

  • How to get key and text value of field "TNDRST" in VTTK from R/3 into BI

    There is one field call "TNDRST(Tender Status)" in SAP table VTTK in R/3. We can find  key value, but we are unable to find text for this field in VTTK. However we can see text value if we double click domain:TNDRST and go to value range.
    Questions, how to get key value and text of TNDRST together in BI. Do we need to create a master data source for TNDRST text information in R/3 and extracting into BI, if yes, how to? Are there any easy way to do it??
    Thanks,
    Sudree

    Hi Sudree,
    You need to create a generic Text Datasource to extract this information into BI System.
    1. Create a generic DS based on Table: DD07T
    2. The fields should be put in the extract structure.
              DOMNAME (Make this as Selection in the DS ) -
    Filter the Domain Name
              DOMVALUE_L -
    Key Value of Tender Status
              DDTEXT -
    Text / Description
              DDLANGUAGE -
    Language
    3. DD07T is the table with all the Domain names & their values, so in the Infopackage enter the Selection Value for DOMNAME as 'TNDRST' and then run it.
    Or you can create a view out of this table based on DOMNAME filter as 'TNDRST'.
    Regards,
    Chathia.

  • Suggestion on how to include image and text in epub export

    I have 12 images like the one below that are included in a book designed for print in ID but also exporting to an epub. I built the image in Photoshop because it needed a stroke and the stroke doesn't export from ID (?). Originally I build the entire image in PS with text. That exports fine.It is anchored inline.  But the text is a bit blurry. So I tried just using the image+stroke from PS and then creating a text box in ID inside the image. Then the text and image separated when exported to epub. Any suggestions on how to do this effectively?
    Mark

    I would suggest just keeping the text when you export to epub and then building a div border to create the box around the text.
