I need to edit an inline graphic

I have some small graphic ICONs that are placed next to (Left of) some paragraphs of text.  Since these ICONs need to move up and down with the text I was moving them manually whenever I edited a paragraph.  Then someone showed me how I could select them.  Cut them to the pasteboard.  Then paste them as the first character in the paragraph and edit the attributes such that they appeared to the left of the paragraph but then whenever I edited the text, these icons would move up and down with it.
O.K.  So now I have a paragraph that has two ICONS next to it.  The customer has requested that I swap their positions.  I only have ONE inline graphic ICON showing in the story editor because when I placed these I cut them both to the pasteboard and then pasted them as an inline graphic into the story.
My question is:  Do I have to delete the inline graphic.  Go and get both ICONs again from my library of artwork and put them on the art in the transposed order and then cut them again to the pasteboard and re-paste into my story?  If so then I am not a happy camper.  Is there a way to UNDO the conversion to an inline graphic and somehow get them back to the pasteboard where I can paste them as normal ICONs on the artwork.  Then make my changes and then re-cut them to the pasteboard and paste back into my text story?
Anybody have any light they can shed on this?
I'll probably do the first scenario for the jobs at hand but it seems a long way around.  Interested if there is a better way.  Thanks!
Randy

It sounds like you had the icons grouped when you pasted them into the story so they are a single anchored object. Use the selection tool (black arrow) and click on the icons. Cut. Paste. Ungroup. Now copy and paste each icon as a separate object into your story.

  • TCS2 Inline graphics hidden by conditional text cause unwanted carriage returns

    I have some FrameMaker documents where there are some small icons in the text.  Their anchored frames are set to be "at insertion point" in FrameMaker. They work fine normally, but when the icons are hidden by conditional text, they cause unwanted carriage returns in the RoboHelp output. The text is split into different paragraphs in the middle of the sentence.
    For example, this is the FrameMaker input:
    And this is the RoboHelp (WebHelp) output:
    I notice that if I manually edit a topic in the RoboHelp editor, I can manually apply a conditional tag to an inline graphic without causing a line break.
    So, I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid this when using linked FrameMaker documents.
    Thanks,
       Philip.

    Your logs are generated automatically by your system as it runs - there is nothing further that you need to do. They are ordinary text files, so you can display them on a terminal using any of the usual tools - cat, less, grep, etc.

  • Selecting text under inline graphic

    I need to edit text under an inline graphic. I am not able to select / edit the text.
    I've tried to "send to back" (the graphic), but it still says above the text.
    I'm doing this in order to get round corners around a table.
    If you know how to drill down and select the text, I would be much obliged.
    I'm using CS4 ME version.
    Thanks for any and all assistance.

    There is no layering with an in-line graphic (what InDesign now calls Anchored Object). The object is inserted in the text flow, and since text flows as it is entered, an in-line object will be cover text that is before it in the flow (ie. before the insertion point) and  text after the insertion point will be superimposed on top of it. That doesn't mean that you can directly select that text that appears to be "on top" of the object though. To select that text you will need to position your cursor in text that is not covered by the graphic and use the arrow keys to navigate to the point in the text that you want to edit. (alternately you could just use find/change).
    You should still post a screen shot of what you're doing because there may be more to it than this. For instance, if your in-line graphic is a table that is already in a text frame as opposed to simply inserted into the text, you could be unnecessarily complicating things.

  • Bullets as inline graphic

    I am trying to use an inline graphic as a bullet but I need
    to be able to change the colour. Is it possible to do this or is
    there another way to place a bullet and have it able to be altered
    when needed.

    > I am trying to use an inline graphic as a bullet but I

    If you use a symbol as the graphic, you can edit the symbol
    and all of the
    bullets will change color.

  • I need to edit text in a jpeg file.  How do I do that?

    I need to edit text in a jpeg file.  How do I do that?

    Unfortunately you can't. A JPEG is a flat raster (pixel-based) image file which has no awareness of "text" inside it. You could try to erase the text and graphic under it and then recreate the text, but it's best to do so using a mastering format such as PSD (Photoshop) or PXM (Pixelmator), so that you can export as JPEG but keep your layered master for later editing.

  • Editing text in graphic in site #3 selected from the GoLive examples

    Hi All
    I own v6 and am using the CS2 tryout and am looking to buy the v9 edition. I have created a site in v6 and upgraded it to cs2. I have looked in the manual without success for the answer to the following four questions:
    1. The top of each web page has a graphic on it which text which is presumably editable when creating/customising the page. I cannot see how I "open" the graphic to edit the text.
    2. The graphics also have (pixel?) sizes on them. I am not sure how to remove them.
    3. If I wanted to eplace some of the graphics what is the best procedure?
    4. How do I set the margin for the text in cells/tables? I have one cell/table where the left hand text goes all the way to the margin. I'd like a couple of pixels of margin (white space).
    Answers or suggestions for any of the above would be appreciated. TIA/gary

    Hello,
    1. If it's an image, you'd need to edit the image in a graphics editor outside of GoLive (Photoshop, Fireworks, etc.).
    2. If you select the image, the pixel size should show up in the Inspector. Try changing it from the pixel setting to "image" in the pulldown menu (meaning don't set a specific size, just use the image as-is).
    3. Are you looking for ways to re-build the graphics, or re-insert new graphics after they're made. If the former, see #1 above. If the latter, and you've already added the graphic to your site window, then you should be able to either drag and drop the new image over the old, or use the Inspector to re-link the source attribute to another file (and change the size).
    4. Using old-school HTML attributes, you could select the image and set the hspace and vspace in the Inspector. Otherwise, the preferrable solution would be to use the CSS Editor to, for instance, make a new class style with the desired margins, and assign that class to the image in the CSS palette.

  • How can we place an image in already created inline graphic frame?

    Hi,
    AIM::
    To place an image in the inline graphic frame.
    OBSERVATION::
    As i have analysed the snippet Runner,i came to know that it allows to load the placegun with the file(in my case image). but in order to place it,we need to click on the document..and then the image is placed at (0,0) of the page(I suppose Indesign does it automatically).
    what is needed,is to place image in already created inline graphic frame. i have created a inline graphic frame at some position in the story,but now i required to place image in this created frame.

    I have the same problem. Can you give me a short code sample for that.
    I have an image and want to place it in the currently selected frame...

  • [CS2/CS3] - Browsing all inline graphical objects

    Hello,     I have a text frame, where are placed inline graphical objects (square, circle, ...) and I want to browse all these objects.<br/><br/>
    Sample:
    I have valid UIDRef to entire text frame, but when I use this code:
    InterfacePtr<IHierarchy> hierarchy(textFrameUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
    int32 childCount = hierarchy->GetChildCount();
    value of childCount == 1, when I use recursive call to get child I am given also value "1" and this node has no children.
    Thank you for your help !

    Thank you for your answers,
       I followed your advices and I browsed code from "CodeSnippet", where is an access to get OwnedItemStrands.
    According the attached snapshot from Programming Guide (p. 375), I am able to get kSplineItemBoss, that is fine, but I need to skip from Text fundamentals to Graphical fundamentals. I need to be able to catch ISpread interface of graphical objects?
    Thank you, marxin

  • My drawing turns to pixels after I edit a copied graphic

    I have notied similar occurances over the last couple of days ...
    I have found that  edited grpahics that were previously fine start to be pixelated instead of vector.  I can still edit the lines and anchor points but it is shown with pixels.
    This has happened under a number of circumstances.
    - copy a grphic from one drawing to another .. the first one is fine, the 2nd blaah
    - I completed a drawing then renamed it to edit it .. the edits are no longer displayed as vectors.
    I have the before and after files .....
    Before https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6527347/Sportstest%20-%20Pattern.ai
    After  https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6527347/Sportstest%20-%20MTB%20Pattern.ai
    I am using CS6 ... and I am still very much a baby user
    Many thanks for any help

    Mylenium
    Thanks for your time
    But I am really lost ... as I said .. a baby-user.
    1) Is the original file ok?  The gradient fills and logos look fine on the file.
    2) If I need to rebuild the files from scratch (I need to have the same graphic colouring), can you suggest how I ensure that the file is correct and adaptable as I will be using the same design but different colours for other files?
    I appraciate your help

  • Just got imac need to edit my website...How?

    iweb seems like it only will create a new site using its themes..but I need to work on my existing site..graphics..text etc....can mac do it...is there some freeware I can download?
    Thanks

    You'll need to be much more specific about what type of site you're working on and how you edit it.
    If you simply need to edit the HTML/CSS/PHP code, TextEdit will be servicable, though I recommend the free "TextWrangler" application.
    http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler/
    With regards to accessing the files, I assume you need an FTP client. For that, I recommend CyberDuck.
    http://cyberduck.ch/
    Dreamweaver is available for the Mac as part of Adobe CS4 (or whichever version you purchase), though it is certainly not free. I have heard of a free page builder application. I'll try to find it and edit this post with a link when I do.
    Kompozer was what I was thinking of (http://www.kompozer.net/) though it isn't as elegant as I remember. Trellian WebPage is also pretty decent and very similar to FrontPage. http://www.trellian.com/webpage/
    Again, you'll have to be specific about your needs.

  • Messages with Inline Graphics Locking Up Mail

    Yesterday everything was fine with Mail.  Today, any time I click on a message with inline graphics Mail freezes (rainbow cursor) and I have to force quit and come back.  The only way I've found to continue using mail is to avoid or quickly delete those messages.  The problem being, I need to forward one, and I can't forward it fast enough to avoid Mail freezing.
    I haven't seen anyone else with this issue (my third since upgrading, I must be lucky, I'm having problems no one else is!) so starting a new thread.

    One possible solution would be to organise your inbox into folders.
    Its never relly good on any system to have one folder that has everything in it.
    Try going to you web gui for that mail account and organise your folders and move mails from your inbox into corresponding folders for better organisation.
    Several folders containing the same amount of one folder will usually load a little quicker as the folder may not be accessed to download its content unless veiwed.
    So having 10 folders with organised content, and you inbox as an area thats to hold only new emails would work much much quicker with imap.
    Most imap servers will only update the contents of a folder when its veiwed.

  • Colour below paragraph text in inline graphic way

    Hellow,
    I am doing children story book in indesign cs5. Every story has  title, picture, story, questions and some other fun matter.
    Story flows in two and two and half pages. Below STORY MATTER ONLY we want to put colour which flows one frame to another or one page to another.
    I am doing full INLINE graphic i.e. every thing in one frame  flowing automatically if I reduce or add matter in between.
    Can it possible colour patch below story matter  adjusted atuomaticelly if matter reduced or added and flow from one frame to another.
    Can we define in paragraph style colour below paragraph.

    Dear Peter Spier
    Yes, I tried paragraph rule also. But It dosent work because if paragraph ends with one or two words, colour patch dosent stretch to right edge.
    Then colour dosent go little beyond matter.
    I can use Anchor object, but I need to adjust anchorde patch as per matter.
    You will get better idea from the image below
    Have you considered applying the background color as a filled rectangle on the master page, and creating the white separators around graphics, and activities items as anchored objects with white fill and/or borders?

  • What type of software is needed to edit Microsoft based doc,ppt,exl , etc on the iPad 2

    What type of software is needed to edit Microsoft based doc,ppt,exl , etc on the iPad 2

    I just opened Word and Excel files (technical documents) that were emailed to me in Pages and Numbers, respectively. The Word document was just fine regarding the text but the tables were garbled because merged cells in the original were not merged. I couldn't see any formatting problems with a detailed spreadsheet.
    If you're editing a text document you probably won't have any problems on the iPad; if there are tables or images/graphics, you can expect formatting issues about half the time. (I also deal with a lot of graphics intensive Word files from students on my laptop and have a similar incidence of formatting issues. But most of these documents I just have to read and understand, so I don't care if there are formatting issues.))
    I've had similar experiences with PowerPoint/Keynote translations. If it's a basic presentation with common fonts, things are very smooth; if not--there can be some formatting issues.
    Bottom line: if I just have to edit basic content, I wouldn't hesitate to do that on my iPad. If the formatting is crucial, I'll wait until I have access to my laptop which has Office.

  • XML inline graphic

    Hi Guys,
    I really need some help with this. A deadline is fast approaching and I feel like I am going in circles with this.
    I have an xml file with content from a database. Everything is coming through ok except for the inline graphics. They are coming through as text boxes that are as small as they can be (not the original size or even the size of the content - see image below). See the red plus sign? My first clue since it's supposed to be a graphic box.
    When that box is expanded to reveal the content, it actually displays the XML coding. See the version declaration? Weird.
    And this below is how the image should look on import. This is just done from the stylesheets by hand.
    I have also tried using a DTD file with only this in it...
    I got that from one of the tutorial files in Lynda.com. Which I have viewed basically the entire course a few times and I am still missing something. Its a flowbased document. Does anyone have any advice or input? I have pored over the internet and I am not really finding anything that is helping.
    Im not sure what I'm doing wrong. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
    - Sarah

    I should have also provided the actual XML. The yellow line is the tag for the image that i am trying to import. Also tried with a jpeg file and with a closing tag instead of self-close.
    Im using map tags to styles and this particular tag does not have a style associated with it. But I do want to apply a paragraph style to the actual line it is on.

  • Using CS5 - need to edit and save pdf

    I have a pdf file that is a sales flyer.  I need to edit just the first page of the 50 page pdf file.  I can open and edit page 1 no problem.  I need to know how to save it back into the complete pdf file as page 1.  Right now all I can figure out is how to save that individual page.
    Thanks for your help.

    You cannot. You still need Acrobat or InDesign somewhere in there to merge your edited page back with the others. That being said, the whole thing could still explode in your face as PDFs are simply not meant to be editable work files...
