InDesign CS5 - Text won't align with shape

I've created shapes in InDesign CS5 and then added text boxes (separate elements). When I try to align the text and the shape, the text box acts as if the wrap function is on and the text is not visible. I've checked and the settings for both the shape and the text box are set to "no wrap."
I've tried searching for a solution online, but the answers I get are mostly related to wrapping text around a shape or other non-related issues.

Yes - I did that first, thinking I was "hiding" the text. But the text is in front...
The advice by Willi Adelberger helped - putting the text directly into the shape seems to be working, though I noticed that the text is still not quite aligned correctly...

Indesign CS5.5 won't open/start after a recent windows 8 update -- how to fix?

I just had a Windows 8 auto update happen and then my Indesign CS5.5 won't open/start. When I go to open it, it gets to the usual screen but then an error message shows up saying that Windows has encountered a problem and needs to shut the program down, and will notify me if a solution exists. What to do?

Do you see anything useful in the Event Viewer logs? Have you tired rebooting? Does it start if you log in with a different username?

Indesign CS5.5 won't start

Hi,
My Indesign CS5.5 won't start. Gets to 'Initialising' then 'Adobe Indesign has stopped working' I've tried reinstalling, then uninstalling all programs in the suite, then reinstalling, then uninstalling & reinstalling just Indesign, then using the Cleanup tool. Nothing worked. Any clues please?
Thanks
Grant

Hi Eugene, Peter,
Thanks for your tips. I had some trouble actually finding those files, but I eventually moved the caches to the desktop and that fixed the problem. All going well now, thankyou.
BTW in the process a couple of other faults were fixed as well:
'Open recent' wasn't working and occasionally no image was loading on the screen so thanks again!

InDesign CS5 on MAC - ID Crashing (With Serious Error Message)

After going into Document Setup with a document open, and changing the document orientation from landscape to portrait, InDesign CS5 crashes after clicking OK with an error message (see attached screen shot). I've deleted the settings file by starting ID with Shift+Command+Option+Ctrl held down. I ran some maintenance using the app OnyX (cleared caches, repaired permissions, etc.) Any idea what would cause this? I've stopped short of reinstalling, but that may be the only option. Also, I updated CS5 with the latest updates, and that didn't fix it either.

At this point you may have corrupt recovery data that is preventing ID from starting if it crashes each time you try to launch it. Move everything out of the InDesign Recovery folder intoa safe place (you'll probably want to delete it later, but you don't know yet) and see if ID will launch. Then try opening any files that you were working on at the time of the first crash. Hopefully they aren't damaged and you've only lost work since the last save.
If you have a crash report, pleast post it on pastebin.com, then put a link to it here.

DPS no longer supports CS5. You'll either need a copy of CS6, or will need Creative Cloud.

Images on sightseeing.html won't align with the column margins.

All six parts of the Bayside Beat tutorial were great!!! The only problem I had was the images on the sightseeing.html page won't align with the column margins. They won't move all the way to the left or right. In design view they align with the margins correctly, but in Live view mode or when viewed in a browser there is a space between the margin and the images. The space is constant and doesn't vary with the width of the browser.
I unzipped the final version of the site to a new folder. I viewed it in Chrome and in Explorer 11 and the images still won't align with the margins. I'm using window 8.1 and DW CC6.
It's not a big deal, because I learned many things from the tutoral, but I still would like to know what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for any help.
Design View
Live View

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial videos.
Just looking at the screenshot of Live view, I would say that the problem is you haven't set the left margin in the floatleft class to zero. The image is wrapped in a <figure> element. Most browsers add a default 40px left margin to <figure>. Setting the margin to zero in a class overrides the default.

I am using Indesign cs5 version 7.0.4 with a mac OS X version 10.9.4. I am having an issue where the save and save as option disappears. I am exporting the file as .idml and then resaving to avoid losing work but has to import all the images which takes ages. Any help out there?

I believe there are a couple of similar threads about CC or CC2014 behaving this way that might give yo some hints, but CS5 is not supported on your OS and may not run properly regardless of what you do. An in-place OS upgrade or an attempt to migrate the application would both be major problems for ID, so if you did either of those things you'll want to uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.

InDesign CS5.5 won't import docx/Word2010 with linked images.

Hi,
Maybe somebody knows what is going out
I have WORD 2010 document with LINKED MathType equations saved as EPS files.
In WORD 2010 they are LINKED or LINKED AND EMBEDED - but when I try to import this DOCX file into InDesign CS5.5 - images are missing.
Only EMBEDED images are imported/visible - but of course not linked.
I hope somebody can tell me if this is WORD or InDesign problem and how to fix this.
DOC file saved from WORD 2000 - imports perfectly fine - all EPS equations linked in WORD are perfectly visible and still linked in InDesign CS 5.5.
thx

I know Jongware complains bitterly that Word import can be really flakey. Did you try daving as plain .doc, too? Seems like MathType equations are also the subject of a fair number of posts, too, but I'm not sure they are really a similar problem. I don't suppose there's any way for you to convert the eqations to .ai or PDF and still use them as links in Word, or to embed rather than link?
I'm working on big tool to automatic mass processing big number of Word files. One of the steps is to prepare Word files with MathType equations for further manual processing. I have a macro (for Word2010) to automatically export all equations to EPS files. The next step is to reImport EPS files back to Word - so they will be imported into InDesign as linked files and then they could be automatically correctly positioned withing the text.
The problem is - I've done reImport step in Word2000 - as 2nd macro - and it works perfectly fine for DOC files saved from Word2000.
Of course I can do this in InDesign - but I think it would be faster in Word.
I think missing import of the linked files for DOCX files is a BIG bug ...

InDesign CS5.5 Won't Place Word 2011 Files (Mac); Missing Filter?

I'm confused. I opened approximately 15 Word files, cut all the photos, then saved them as Word 97-2004 files. Then I opened an InDesign CS5.5 file and tried to place each Word file but I keep getting a "No filter found for requested operation" error message. I was able to place a couple of the files but I got the error message for all the rest.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lloyd

Text won't align to the right in IE

Hi! I'm having pesky IE
problems again:
http://zooop.net/flatrate/
The Contact Us/Login text in the top right corner won't align
to the right, as the code requests it to do.
Also, the newsletter sign-up box at the top of the page,

I'm thinking its because of the splitting and merging of your
table
cells. You know you should not build a page using one giant
table which
you then proceed to split into 'irregular' areas, which the
browser has
trouble deciphering.
You can test this out by inserting a 1 row x 2 col table
above your main
table. Use the same code/css on each of the cells and you'll
find the
text goes over to the right.......that probably tells you the
construction of your main table is 'wonky'

Text value not aligned with text caption

Hello,
In my text fields, the text value is always slightly raised from the text caption. Is there a way to get them to align?
Thanks,
Gail

Hi Geo,
I have tried top, middle, and bottom alignment and although they give different results, none are actually aligned with the caption text.
The top and middle alignments still have the value text raised above the caption text.
The bottom alignment gives a puzzling result of the value text being sunk below the caption text and actually somewhat cut off at the bottom.
For some of my text boxes I have thrown together a work-around solution for this by setting the baseline shift for the value text to -3pt. Although this does seem to work, I don't imagine this is how the program was INTENDED to be used and I'd like to understand how to get the text aligned without having to tweak baselines.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Gail

InDesign CS5 file won't open

At my work, we are working on formatting a book in InDesign. We are using the same base template for each file. I created a front matter document with a table of contents (TOC), list of figures (LOF), list of tables (LOT), acronyms, and glossary using that base template. Everything worked fine; I was able to generate the TOC, LOF, and LOT, and could work with the file with no problem. Then I saved and closed the file. Later that day, I was unable to open the file.
The message I get includes the statement, "You may not have permission or the file may be open already."
No one else had opened it and there are no lock files. The other person using InDesign also cannot open it. I made a copy of the file and saved it in another location and still could not open it.
The files are all on our network. We are using InDesign CS5 and Windows7 (64-bit). The only difference between this file and the others are the modifications that I made to some TOC paragraph styles so two paragraphs could be displayed side-by-side in the TOC (i.e., Chapter 1 Introduction all on one line, where Chapter 1 comes from one paragraph and Introduction comes from another by having no leading on one paragraph style).
Can anyone suggest a solution for this? This is rather urgent as the client needs the book by the end of next week.
Thank you so much for your help.
regards,
Marina Michaels

Yes: The message I get says, "Cannot open (file path and name). You may not have permission or the file may be open already."
Thanks!

InDesign CS5.5 won't open in OS X 10.10

I just installed Yosemite and hadn't had any troubles with anything until I tried to open InDesign CS5.5. It keeps telling me, "To open “Adobe InDesign CS5.5.app” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I've searched for Java SE 6 and cannot find a way to download it. I downloaded Java 8, but the program is still not opening and I still get the warning dialog. I have work I need to get done and cannot work on till this is fixed. Any help is appreciated.
2012 Macbook Pro, Yosemite 10.10.

Sorry, Derek, that's false. Thanks for your input though.

Indesign CS5 crash during startup - problem with Graphics.rpln

I work in an architectural company and already several of our computers have experienced this very rare and unusual behaviour. During start up of Indesign (not clicking on any file but just launching Indesign) it crashes with the following error:
"Adobe Indesign CS5 has stopped working"
We use Windows 7 64bit, so the first step I did - I went into Application Log which says, so appears to be a problem with Graphics.rpln.

I have tried everything I could think of - removed and reinstalled Adobe CS5, manually removed Adobe folders under %Appdata%\Local and %Appdata%\Remote folders (why can't Adobe delete those things during uninstallation is always a total mystery), changed video adapter drivers, cleaned Temp folders, everything I knew...
None of the other apps like Photoshop or Illustrator CS5 malfunction - only Indesign. What is going on?
Can it conflict with other software we use? We have Bentley Microstation, 3D Max, Office 2010, Kaspersky Antivirus and LOGMEIN installed on this computer...Any clues, guys?

Looks to me like you've never installed any of the patches. Last patch for CS5 was 7.0.4, so I'd start with that and see if ti helps.

Indesign CS5 shortcuts won't work

i have just installed creative suite 5 and when i came to open indesign none of the keyboard shortcuts or toolbars were there. i previously used a free trial of indesign cs4 before uninstalling it to install cs5. i have been to edit> keyboard shortcuts> set, but there is nothing there (nothing in the drop down box) and when i have tried to manually assign shortcuts it won't let me save them. i have also been to c:> program files> adobe> Adobe InDesign CS5> presets, and there are no keyboard presets saved here unlike illustrator were there is a folder called keyboard presets. if anyone can help i would be very grateful

There is an Adobe Technote available that covers missing keyboard shortcuts etc in InDesign CS4. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408055.html am wondering if you are encountering a similar issue in CS5. Might be worth having a look at this.
