Images are pasted as anchored text in a text frame.

Whenever I paste an image I copied with ctrl+c from another software, its pasted into indesign as an anchored object inside a text frame.
What should I do to have all images pasted with ctrl+v always be pasted as a graphics frame?
ps: I have no object styles created or assigned to anything.

The images that are in-line in Word are likely actually in a table.
Try these settings in Word--a pita I know in graphic heavy Word docs, but they should then paste into ID in image frames.
Change from In line with text to In front of text.
Then switch to the Position Tab and uncheck the indicated checkbox--assuming it is checked...
The "handles" on the picture will change to look like these below. You should then be able to copy and paste.

  • Inconsistent placement of anchored text frame in data merge document

    Just writing up this bug so that anyone else who encounters it can find out what's going on with less head-scratching.
    It seems that InDesign's data merge feature gets confused when there are anchored objects in a text frame that's anchored inside another text frame, which can result in:
    exported PDFs that don't match the InDesign preview when viewed in Acrobat (so, nasty surprises on some pages after exporting)
    InDesign previews that - bizarrely - show differently depending on whether you navigated to the preview by hitting the arrow keys in the Data Merge box or by entering a number.
    (sadly I can't provide a file for confidentiality reasons - but the problem point had multi-line data merge entries, a text frame that was anchored in another text frame of equal width, and anchored images and text frames in this anchored text frame)
    There were certain entires where, if I navigate to them in the preview using the 'next' and 'previous' keys, there was 4mm less space between the nested text frame and the previous line than if I navigate to it by entering the number. Exporting as a PDF through data merge used the variant with more space.
    Re-working the area in question so that the nested text frame wasn't needed seems to have removed the problem (but loses the ability to vertically align these elements in a fixed size frame that is in the text flow).

    You didn't say what version of ID, or whter a single or multiple record per page merge, but the Preview is known to be buggy for multiple records since CS5 and might be for single records as well.
    I have an annual directory that is built by data merge with one section in each listing as an anchored frame, and I've never had a problem, but it's not as complex as your description, nor do I ever merge to PDF (though I've heard here from several users that it's more reliable).
    One thing you might want to try is merging without the preview step, but do it from a "fresh" file by copying and pasting your placeholders into a new document. If the problem is with the preview it seems that it "infects" the file and even merging without touching the preview button may not work.

    I copied text & paisted it and then draged the 3 photos from the file...then clicked on the photo then clicked the inline boxon tool bar nexed to floating one and that is how I did it
    I do not know what you mean "cut & paist"  how do I get the photo in from my picter folder if I do not drag it to the page in Pages? 
    I went to my photo folder and copied a photo and paisted the photo on the top left part of the page and it went there but there was no text to the right of photo...I could crop the photo to what ever size but no text to the right of photo...
    This is just too big of a mess of a program as it should be easier then this,,,I hav e 300 photos in this project and would have to re-paist them all...that is nuts...
    I see the button to the right of inline and floating that has 6 [lace to have the photo but the text does not float around the photo...
    If this is what your talking about this very little freedom in my page layout as I need it to let me place it where I need it to be and the wrap the text...
    There has to be an easier way to get my books ready for other formats other that Apple's iPad...iBooks Author was way eisier to make ready for iTunes...Love that program!!!
    Want my books for sale on all the other formats and was told by Apple Pages whould do it...
    I must be be out to lunch or the designers at Apple are ???

  • InDesign CS3 Scripting XML Import Multiple Images into same Text Frame

    I am having trouble importing multiple images into the same Text Frame using XML import. I imported 5 images into the text frame. However, all 5 images are laying on top of one another. Does anyone know if there is a way to have all images laying out like how Microsoft Word handles inline images, i.e., laying out next image to the right of previsous image in the same line and if there is not enough space left in the line, then wrap to next line. Thanks in advance. I understand I could use JavaScript to do post import processing, e.g, calculate the image size and place each images accordingly. But I am trying to see whether there is a way to do this without scripts.

    You can apply an object style to all anchored images by script. A text frame containing main flow should be selected.
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var textFrame =  app.selection[0];
    var rectangles = textFrame.texts[0].rectangles;
    if (rectangles.length > 0) {
         for (var i=0; i < rectangles.length; i++) {
              rectangles[i].appliedObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.item("Cover");
    However, there is a better approach:
    Step 1
    Create place holders for a single "Book" element and format it as needed -- apply an object style to the cover.
    Step 2
    Import the xml file -- the placeholders are replaced with data from the 1st xml element
    Step 3
    Drag & drop the element containing all "Books" elements into the main flow -- all elements are placed and formatted the same way as in step 1.
    Finally, add a new page, click the overset text icon and autoflow text to add pages so that to fit all the text.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to fit frame to content when content contains anchored text box?

    Hi there
    I am creating a series of inline text frames within a text frame. Each of these inline frames contains text which includes an anchored text frame. If I tell my inline frames to fit to content they seem to ignore the anchored frames contained therein. Is there any way I can get them to consider the anchored frames they contain when they fit to content?
    I tried checking the geometric bounds of my anchored frame before and after its parent frame has fitted to content. Even when there has been no change in position the bounds after fitting to content seem to give numbers way off. I thought I might be able to reset the geometric bounds of the containing frame manually if the anchored frame therein had moved with the fit frame to content.
    Here is a snippet of my code:
    var anchoredBounds = anchoredFrame.geometricBounds;
    mainFrame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
    mainFrame.texts.item(0).recompose;
    var newAnchoredBounds = anchoredFrame.geometricBounds;
    alert(anchoredBounds[0] + "; " + newAnchoredBounds[0]);
    So “mainFrame” is the text frame containing text and the anchored frame, “anchoredFrame”. “anchoredBounds[0]” seems to correlate with the top edge of the frame when I check it manually after the script has finished (when it hasn’t move with the fit to content). “newAnchorBounds[0]”, however, always gives numbers that are way off every time. Any ideas why this would be the case?
    And most importantly, can anyone suggest how I can get my “mainFrame” to consider the “anchoredFrame” contained in it when it fits to content?
    I’m using CS4 on a PC. Let me know if it would help to post more code, or if I haven’t explained myself clearly enough.

    Is there any way I can get them to consider the anchored frames they contain when they fit to content?
    @Graham – as long as ALL the anchored text frames are "inline" text frames,
    mainFrame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
    should work as expected or at least sort of *.
    Without calculating anything at all.
    Just tested in InDesign CS5.5 (v7.5.3).
    Could it be that CS4 will fail on that?
    Of course, you can only rely on this, if the main text frame contains any "real" text at all. Not only the  special characters representations of the "inline" text frames. In that case the fit() method will do nothing at all.
    * it's debatable, if the fit() method yields desirable output.
    It depends on your expectations.
    See the following examples:
    1. Case 1:
    Text frame before fitting:
    2. Case 1:
    After fitting with the UI command, context menu: "fit frame to contents"
    (note the gap between the last baseline of the text and the text frame; note also  the new width)
    Is that the result you would expect? I guess not.
    3. Case 1:
    After fitting  programmatically with myTextframe.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
    4. Case 2:
    Before fitting
    same text frame as in #1, but different height
    5. Case 2:
    After fitting with the UI command, context menu: "fit frame to contents"
    A different width than in #2 and a gap at the bottom of the text frame!
    Not the desired result, I'd say…
    6. Case 2:
    After fitting  programmatically with myTextframe.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
    Same result as in #3
    So with scripting we could, at least, get consistent results.
    Of course, you could get the same results in the UI, if you double-click on the bottom center control point…
    Maybe it helps, if you are showing us some screen grabs:
    1. Your starting point
    2. The desired result

  • How to create, place, format and paste the clipboard contents into a text frame

    I am new to scripting and need help. I have an existing Indesign document. I need to be able to create a text frame on my current page, the width of my margins with the top of the text frame at the top margin and 1" in height, then format it to be 1-column, and then paste the clipboard contents into it and tag the text with a particular paragraph style. I am using Indesign CS4 on a mac, if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help.

  • Anchored text boxes in XML

    I am wondering if anyone can help..
    I have created a structured indesign document (structured as in tagged for XML import). My problem is the first tagged object is an anchored text box which needs to sit on top of the second anchored tagged picture box. This layout is fine before importing the xml file. however after import the first anchored text box disappears and is replaced by normal text.. is there anyway to stop the box disappearing after import?
    any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using Indesign CS4 on a PC.

    Not that I know of off the top of my head. I'd suggest that, if you are allowed to do so, gin up an example INDD file, put it up on YouSendIt or a similar service, and invite the forum-ites to take a crack at it. Probably, one of us can come up with some clever method to avoid the need for anchored frames at all; I can't visualize why you would need to do so, and my fair-to-middlin' knowledge of XML export and import in ID makes me think that you can't flow text into and out of anchored text frames with XML. However, I will dig into it and see if I can't confirm or deny this hunch of mine.

  • How to select a text frame that has been "Sent to Back"?

    Hi Framers,
    In FM 7.2 (all patches up to date, running on Windows XP Pro), I added a note inside a text frame next to an anchored frame holding an image. I nudged the text frame close to the image but it blocked out a tiny portion of the image. So I selected the text frame and from the Graphics menu clicked Send to Back.  Solved that problem, of course. Now I want to change the wording in the note but can't do it because the entire text frame has been sent to back -- how can I select it to Bring to Front so I can edit its contents???
    This MUST be something totally obvious, right?  Can I plead pre-holiday brain freeze?
    TIA,
    Gay

    I selected all and moved my cursor all around the page (around various pages, actually, since Ctrl+A selects the entire chapter), and I see what you mean by the color of the arrow's head changing between black and white. Is it significant that the ONLY time it's black is when I'm outside the frame of the page itself? (That is, in the white, non-editable space around the actual frame borders on the page.) Clicking anywhere, whether inside or outside the active area, deselects everything.
    HOLD THE PRESSES!  Even though I *knew* I hadn't grouped my text frame with anything else, after reading your suggestion, I selected the page frame to make sure I hadn't somehow grouped it with my text frame: I hadn't -- but then, on a hunch, I sent IT (the page frame) to the back -- now I can select the text frame!

    Hi, Gay:
    The "I-Beam" pointer tool is called the Smart Pointer, because it changes to an I-beam when it's over text, and to the Graphics Pointer tool when over a graphic, or part of a graphic, or when you press Ctrl. It's easy to select the main text frame when you Ctrl+click on its interior text area inadvertently, when you're trying to select an anchored frame edge, or when you use Ctrl+A to select all. It's frustrating to have some of these unintended events happen when you're not expecting them. Always work with View > Borders ON, to display the edges of objects and reduce confusion, and always watch where you click. You can zoom iin to large magnification to see things better.

  • How to create a child text frame within main text frame that flows as the text does

    Is there a way to create an anchored text frame that flows with the main text and goes on from the top of next column or page with the same type of horizontal alignment?
    I want to create a cuttable and paste-able, title, anchored small text frame and main text unit format that will repeat with different contents with as less manual labour as possible. (There is a simple example of what I am trying to achieve as a screenshot)
    Thanks in advance for any answer given

    One of the limitiations of anchored frames is that you cannot split them or include them in a text thread.

  • Table of contents and the order of multiple text frames flowing across pages

    I have a multi-page document,
    on each page, there are 2 text frames:
    - A text frame for containing a PAGE TITLE
    and
    - A text frame, flowing from one page to another containing: a MAIN TITLE, a SECTION TITLE, and flowing body copy (on page 1); and another MAIN TITLE, a SECTION TITLE, and flowing body copy; (on page 2)
    When I generate a TOC, using the Page, Main and Section Titles styles, the expected outcome would be:
    Page Title             1
       Main Title           1
    Section Title          1
    Page Title             2
       Main Title           2
    Section Title          2
    But because the Main title and Section titles are all within one flowing text frame and the content flows across multiple pages, and each of the Page Titles are within 2 separate text frames, the actual TOC generated is:
    Page Title             1
       Main Title          1
    Section Title         1
       Main Title           2
    Section Title          2
    Page Title             2
    ...where the TOC lists all the TOC items from the flowing text frame in one grouping first, then the individual free standing text frame title.
    QUESTION: Is the only way to automatically rectify this is to combine all the text into one flowing text frame? or is there another workaround?
    Have played with the left/right, top/bottom alignment of the individual text frames; also experimented with the object layering, to no avail..
    Thanks for any insights.

    I ended up using a product called InFlow from EmSoftware.  The solution offers a plugin to InDesign that builds pages on the fly when there is overset text.  The setup is pretty minimual and it seems easy to use.  The only drawback that the plugin MAY have is that it does not remove the pages it built if the pages are not needed from record to record.  I could not test this myself since my test data did not test more then one record, but when I turned my proof set off, the pages that were built were still on screen.  It does seem to work well for what we are looking to do, so if anyone is looking for something that will build pages on the fly in situations where the "Dynamic Story Handling" is not available, I would suggest looking into this.

  • How to copy/paste anchor text box to its anchor point in text and delete all empty anchors?

    hi all
    i have a document of few pages but one story. The right column is the main text box and on many places anchored text boxes are placed which appeared on the left column as shown below.
    i want text of each anchor-text-box to be cut from its place and paste at its insertion/anchor point and delete all empty anchored boxes.
    I am trying since morning but i unable to reach anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be helpful.
    virender

    Ok, let's say you have one main text box (not anchored) and three text boxes that are anchored to text within it. The first one is anchored with text, the second one is unanchored, and the third one is empty (I'm not going to get into inline anchoring vs. custom anchoring since you didn't bring it up in your post).
    We cycle through the items on the page:
    function main(){
      var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
      var myPages = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
      for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++){
        var myPage = myPages[i];
        //Checks that the page is valid, and that it is not a master page. If either is true, skips to the next page.

          //We only care about text frames.
          if (!(myItem instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
          //I think the only way this would happen would be if you had an image or
          //something else unexpected within the frame. I check for it so no content

          //If we're still in this iteration of the loop, all qualifications are met.
          //Flatten the text frame.
          //I don't use layers that often so, to me, flatten makes sense. You may want
          //to use a different term if there's a chance for confusion.
          flattenItem(myItem);
    function flattenItem(funcItem)
         //Hold onto the anchor character.
        var myParent = funcItem.parent;
         //Duplicate the text from within the frame so that it appears right after the anchor.
         //There may be other methods, but this works for me. I try to avoid copy/paste
         //so as not to deal with any clipboard mishaps. I added a check in case of empties.
         if (funcItem.texts.length > 0){funcItem.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myParent.insertionPoints[0]);}
         //Replace the anchor character itself with a space (or whatever) which also
         //deletes the text frame it was anchoring.
        myParent.contents = " ";
    I guess the takeaway might be that you're not looking at the main text frame and then checking to see if anything is anchored to it. You're looking at each text frame and figuring out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.

  • Illustrator image copy/paste onto the Indesign the text should automatically converted into image?

    Hi All,
    Is there options to get the image copy & paste into the Indesign, if i done manually the frames and lines stroke, colors, are coming fine, but the text object only converted the image. i want to edit text  in indesign.
    this is possible for scripting or manual?
    regards

    You can copy/paste from Illy to ID by selecting the text with the type tool in Illy and then pasting it into ID. You will not be able to maintain the formatting. If you want to maintain the appearance the text will be converted to outlines.
    If you need to get anything other than very simple objects from Illy to ID then you should save as AI and use the file > place command to place those objects as linked graphics into ID.
    Your closing statement is irrelevant. Whether you like it or not, this is the way it is.
