InDesign text links unlinked

Regarding InDesign CS6 Update - I did the recent update of Adobe Suite and the result is problems with InDesign.  Now my InDesign file has links that are not linked.  Over 600 links!!  And they are all text boxes.  There is nothing linked to the text boxes. And when I unlink, nothing happens.  Manually unlinking 600  links will take a very long time.  Plus everytime I open the file, the number of links increase.  It started at 500 a month ago and in a month it grew buy over 100 more!  What is going on?  This update is causing a big problem!  What can I do?

Hi Peter,
This is confusing that there are no updates to InDesign CS6.  The update was about a month ago to the entire Adobe Creative Suite.  When doing the update, it was updates each of the software in the creative suite that was independently updated in the entire process.  The update took hours.  Maybe it did not include InDesign in the update, and it was the rest of the create suite applications there were updated. 
Based on your theory that other software I run might be causing the problem, maybe it is one of the other Adobe applications in the creative suite that changed and thus caused this problem.
I really don't care how the problem happened anymore, I just want to fix the problem.  There are now over 650 text links that are unlinked.  And this number keeps growing as I continue to work on the project.
Please help me fix the problem so it goes away permanently.

  • Is it possible to create a text link to a video in an interactive pdf

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how to create a text link to a video within the same interactive pdf?
    I've seen that you can create buttons to link to video's but nothing about linking from text
    thanks in advance for any assistance

    HI Bernd,
    The video above does not show me how to link to a video have it start playing.
    I know it is also possible in indesign to have a button link to a specific point in a video, but I haven't been able to find out how to do that from a text link.
    so for example. the text could say "watch our video, or click here to learn about subject two".
    where - "learn about subject two" takes the user to a specific part of the video, and makes it start to play.

  • Using text links to open accordion panel

    How do I use text links (from the page's main menu) to
    programatically open a particular panel.
    here is the page:
    http://debrankin.com/tee/SITEDESIGN/
    for example: I want to click on "Resumes and Cover Letters"
    in the left hand menu to open the first accordion panel (by the
    same name). I have this set this page so that all panels are closed
    initially.
    i know i'm missing something because this obviously does not
    work: i've looked for documentation and this issue is inadequately
    addressed!

    Not really. The problem is that you have attempted to create
    a
    JavaScript object called accordion1 before the accordion HTML
    is even
    loaded into the browser. Moreover, the script that
    initializes the
    accordion is already in your HTML where it should be (after
    the
    accordion), but it uses Accordion1, not accordion1
    (JavaScript is
    case-sensitive.
    Remove this after your menu.
    > <script type="text/javascript">
    > var accordion1 = new
    Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
    > </script>
    Change the links in the menu to Accordion1.openPanel(0),
    etc., and it
    should work.

  • How do I  create more than one CSS style for text links?

    Hello,
    Just like the title says, I need help with creating more than one CSS text link style in Dreamweaver CS4. For instance, I want the navigation on the website I'm building to have a different text link style than a link in some part of the body copy. I've been playing with Dreamweaver for a while and can't find any way to do this. If it's even possible to do this, I would really appreciate any help.

    Yes it is possible but as you have failed to provide a valid link to your site, I will tell you in general Terms:
    1) First create a class or an ID to to your Nav bar;
    2) Now style your navbar in such a way that these styles will only apply to your nav bar.  To do this, you start your style by doing something like this:
    ul#vavigation {.........}
    ul#navigation a {.........}
    ul#navigation a:hover {.........}
    ul#navigation li {.........}
    your html code might look like this:
    <ul id="navigation">
         <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
         etc etc .........................
    </ul>

  • How to change text + links in footer of existing template

    Hello,
    I need to change the text and links on the template footer that goes to all TABs. (Home, Articles, About Bluemont, BCA, Contact Us).The file is named NavigationBlank.dwt."
    This footerwas created to link visitors to our "join or contribute" page on another site. Now I want to stop using that external site and build the capacity to take memberships within the BluemontVA.org site itself. However the template footer can't be changed so easily as text on a page.
    I am webmaster for a local nonprofit (web address =  www.BluemontVA.org), but work on a website I inherited. It is a wonderful design, but I don't fully understand it. I have not worked with templates before.
    I have read O'Reilly on "Adding a basic editable region"  in a template, but need further help.
    A couple questions worry me:
    How much damage may I have done already by trying? For example, I do seem to have removed the old text/links and added a new text message on the NavigationBlank.dwt page -- but these changes do not show up on the other TAB pages.
    Also, when I place the cursor n the design side  it no longer tracks to the corresponding spot on the code view. (the cursor shows up in code view way above where it is supposed to be by the text). This is true for the home page and also for several pages I took a look at.
    Can I follow instructions to change the template from any of the pages on which it appears? Or do I have to be at NavigationBlank.dwt?
    Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

    I'm confused.
    Working With Dreamweaver Templates (.dwt files).
    PART 1
        1. Create a page with all the sitewide elements (common header, footer, sidebar,  CSS styles, etc..) that you will need for your project.   This requires some careful pre-planning even for small web sites.
       2. Validate your code & test this prototype page in all major browsers. 
       3. When you're completely satisfied with the page layout, SaveAs Template.   DW will save this as a .dwt file in a site folder called Templates.
       4. DW will ask you to add Editable Regions for stuff that will change from page to page.   Do this and SAVE.
       5. Close your Template.dwt file.
    PART 2
       1. File > New Page > from Template.  Select the template you wish to use.  Hit OK.
       2. This is a child page.  An exact duplicate of your Template however you can only edit content within editable regions.  Everything else is locked.
       3. SaveAs index.html (your home page) or some-other-filename.html.
    PART 3
       Repeat PART 2 for each additional site page required.
    PART 4
        1. Open your main TEMPLATE file and add a navigation menu with links to your site pages.  Do not put this into an Editable Region!  If you do it won't show up on child pages.
       2. SAVE.
       3. DW will ask if you want to populate changes to child pages.  Hit yes.
       4. Publish all site pages to your server.
    PART 5
       If you should ever need to edit your TEMPLATE .dwt file, Repeat PART 4.

    Hi everyone, in DW Cs5 how do you make text links on the same page different colours, I have some text links across the top of the page, these go with a certain colour scheme but some more on the page it's self these need to be a different colour.
    I have done this before by accident but unfortunately I have no longer got that file. Information for text in either html or css would be very helpful.
    Many thanks

  • How to remove the "text link" of an action link

    Hi everyone,
    after searching the forum and web with no luck, I need help on this topic. I'm working with many reports which link to others dashboards. These dashboards were created in OBIEE 10 and migrated to 11.1.1.3.
    What we wanted to do (and achieved in 10g) was to be able to click on some data (on a value of a graph, a value/column header in a table) and navigate to another dashboard. OBIEE 11g does this from the Criteria tab --> Column properties --> Interaction and selecting Action Links.
    In 11g, when doing this Action Links and clicking on a value, appears a "text link" ( screenshot : [https://picasaweb.google.com/102130000310148493868/Screenshots#5646178057282726354] ), so the user would need to do 2 clicks (one on the value and other in the text link).
    Is there any way to remove this Text Link? It can be a bit annoying if there is always one option, and needless.
    Thank you

    Hi Elena!
    In teh Interaction Tab (in the Column Properties window), once you create the action,you will right there a check box that says: "Do not display in a popup if only one action link is available at runtime". Clik on the check box, and you are ready to go!
    Please assign points if helful.

  • Text Link Styles not working in Footer Section

    I have a master page with a footer that has three columns of navigation text links inside.
    In order to match my design I have created a customer text link style for these links.
    However when I preview my site (in muse and browsers) the roll over effect (should show an underline) doesn't work.
    I've searched the forums and found that someone else had a similar problem and it was down to them having a paragraph and character style stacked on top of one another. However I have checked this on my links and this is not the case.
    NOTE: I have already successfully managed to create a similar style that resides in a side bar navigation panel in some of the sites internal pages and these link styles are working fine.
    So, I'm not sure if the file has become corrupt or if I'm missing something that I've done wrong?
    One question I have is at which point to you apply the text link style?
    1. By clicking on the line of text to select it?
        OR
    2. By clicking further into the text box; as if you were editing it, then selecting all of the characters in the word you want to make a link. With the word selected, click on the style name in the Character Panel to apply it?
        OR
    3. as with the above example, once you have selected all of the characters in the word you want to make a link. Click on the Hyperlink drop down arrow (from the main toolbar) and choose the style name you wish to apply, from the drop down box 'Text Link Style'
    NOTE:
    I'm running version v2.3, Build 50, CL 771675
    AIR Runtime: 3.5.0.600
    UPDATE:
    I couldn't wait any longer, so I just deleted the text boxes and styles and re-created them both and they seem to work now. Lot of additional work though that I'd rather have not had to do.

    Sorry, I forgot to say, to see how the email link at the
    bottom of the page should look please see www.bethhockley.com
    Thanks,

  • Footer & Text Link Issue

    Http://Infinite8imaging.com
    On some pages the green footer bar i created is being forced off the page (pushed down), I am not sure why. it doesnt look like his in preview mode or when i "preview page in browser", only ater i export to html and upload. Please see link below for examples
    http://www.infinite8imaging.com/photos.html
    Edit: Seems to only happen in internet Explorer, why? can i fix this?
    Also, all text links are leading to same place, I double checked the Muse file and all links are aiming correctly to different pages. just when its exported, they all lead to my business card page? See links below for examples:
    http://infinite8imaging.com/cards.html
    http://www.infinite8imaging.com/covers.html
    http://www.infinite8imaging.com/banners.html
    Is anyone else having these issues?..its times like this where i wish muse allowed an open html edit mode.
    I also get this glitch sometimes, i was actually moving the bottom of the page down more to see if it would correct the footer problem on this page, and it seems to have.. but now the page itself is cut off.
    http://infinite8imaging.com/retouching.html
    Thanks in advance.

    You have some problems with your code and they are showing up in Internet Exploiter and Firefox because they are less tolerant of those errors.
    Your code suggests you need to understand that an ID happens once on a page. You can re-use a Class.
    IDs are set up in your CSS with a hash:
    #header { }
    Classes are set up in your CSS with a dot:
    .left_content { }
    Use the W3C Validator to check your work, fix the problems and you may find that everything looks just fine in Firefox nad Internet Exploder.

  • How to make text links on one layer appear differently than on another layer?

    I have text links in some layers that I want to appear as white bold font and text links in other layers that I want to appear as black or blue unbold. I think this might be with CSS but I can't figure it out.

    It doesn't go in there at all. Style rules should go in a style block in the head of the page like this:
    <style type="text/css">
    #Layer5 a {
      color: #FFF;
      font-weight: bold;
    </style>
    Even better, though, is to put all your style rules in an external style sheet, because this automatically applies the rules to every page in your site that the style sheet is attached to.

  • Changing the Name of Text Links to a File

    I happily discovered that iWeb will create download links to files such as text, spreadsheet, word processing, PDF, and the like, if you zip them. However, when I create a text link to a file, the linked text takes on the name of the file, such as YourDownload.zip, rather than keeping the description I entered when creating the link. So links to files don't work the same way that links to URLs or other web pages within a site do, in that the link path (the URL) is separate from the name or description of the link. Is there a way around this apart from using graphics objects for the links?
    Any advice would be most appreciated.

    Once the text link is created you can go back, select the text and change the name to anything you want. It doesn't have to the the name of the zipped file. An annoyance but easily overcome.

  • Can I add a text link to another place in a Pages v5 file?

    Simple question:
    Can I add a text link to another place in a Pages v5 file?
    My client would like to include a visible, inline Table of Contents in his ePub. Apple Pages v5 deletes the visible Table of Contents. Can I manually create a Table of Contents with clickable links to the appropriate chapters?

    Pages 5's greatest claim to fame is its general inability to do anything much, aka "simplification".
    So the answer is No! and because this is also Apple, You don't want to do that!
    Luckily however, should you still have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder, you can use that instead.

  • How to change style properties of text links

    Hello to everyone.
    There is a very irritating thing going on with the style properties of a text link.
    I want my text that acts as a link to other pages, to retain the properties of a normal text. iWeb keeps underlining the text and changing the colour of it.
    Is it possible to alter that without fiddling with the css file? I can change that if have to but that means that I'll have to manually edit the file in more than 50 pages...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Dimitris

    Dmitris,
    There is no way to do this in iWeb directly. As you have already alluded to, the only way to do this would be to edit the CSS files for your pages. You could do this by hand, but judging by your message it doesn't sound like you would have too much fun doing this.
    I would suggest that you look into a program like MassReplaceIt...
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/massreplaceit.html
    This is basically a glorified find and replace type of tool. You can tell it to find a whole block of parameters in the CSS file and change it to whatever you like. And the benefit for you is that you can save these actions so that you can redo them whenever you publish the pages. MRI is smart enough to change only what needs changing. And searching out all the CSS files in all subdirectories is a bonus for you, Dmitris. Just point it at your site folder and let the program change all 50 CSS files in one click!
    Good luck!
