Is it possible to center text between any set of verticle lines shown by the grid?

I'm trying to get text to be set at the specific spots on this background I'm using, so I turned the grid on. I have to put text at specific locations a lot. So it would be a whole lot easier and faster if I could just automatically center the text between the lines of the grid, rather than manually fiddling with it.

well smart guides in this case might get you where you want to go.
But if you have either point type or text frame it is pretty easy to do.
Turn on snap to grid in the view menu
draw a rectangle from one of the grid lines to to the other (with no fill and no stroke optionsl)
then place the text over the rectangle, turn off snap to grid.
in the align panel select to align by key object select both the text and the rectangle and click (with a selection) on the rectangle to make it the key object (do not hold the shift key down).
Then in the align panel choose the center icon for either horizontal or vertical alignment.
Vertically aligning the text means that a text frame has to snug the text and even at that it is often subjective so you might have to nudge for a visual
accepted centering and sometimes this is true of horizontal aligned center depending on the size and use of the text.
Oh yes after you center the text you can delete the rectangle.

Is it possible to copy text from word, paste it in InD and bring the footnotes with it?

Is it possible to bring in footnotes from Word without linking to the word file?
Thanks for the help!

Is it possible to bring in footnotes from Word without linking to the word file?
No -- copying from Word to InDesign uses the regular interapplication clipboard, and is copied as plain unformatted text.
"Without linking to the Word file" ... well, it is a user preference (in the Preferences panel, no less) to link to text documents or not. I think you could defeat the automatic linking if you import the entire file into a new ID document and then copy out just the part you need (and that would include footnotes as well as any and all other formatting).

Center TEXT in JTextArea?

Is it possible to center text in a JTextArea?
I searched it but nothing on the web ... Is there another way to do this?
with JTextPane or JTextEditor?
I want just to center some text ....
Thanks

Do you want editable centered text or do you just want to display centered text and thought that JTextArea/JEditorPane/JTextPane was the only way to do it?
If you just need to display centered text, you can use JLabel with HTML tags:
Example:
String message = "<HTML><CENTER>Centered Text!!!<BR>With line breaks even!!!</CENTER><HTML>"
JLabel centered = new JLabel(message);

Center text in photobook

how do I center text in a photobook?
thank you

JASCHI:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You have to copy the text that you've entered, past it in a text editor where you can change the alignment to center, recopy and then repast into the book text field. Be sure to check the text by creating a pdf of the book before ordering to make sure it gets rendered as you want.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

The linked text boxes are very important to my work flow. Not being able to flow text between pages has cost me a lot of valuable time in producing my newsletter. Any ideas?

In Pages 09 I was able to flow text between text boxes on the same page and to different pages but that seems to have gone away. This is one of the most useful items in Pages that I use. Now it seems to have gone away and I could find no replacement in doing my last newsletter, (which took at least 3 times as long to produce.) I am very disappointed in Pages 13 so far and look for some bright side to this software to change my opinion.

Apple has promised to bring back *some* features "within six montha." We're 4 months into the clock. They have brought back a couple of features (ability to cutomize the toolbar, for instance, and vertical ruler). But they still have a long way to go and there is no certainty that linked text boxes will be restroed. It wasn't cited in their original list of examples of what would be brought back. (Nor was mail merge, bookmarks, Applescript support, or many other items.)

How can I insert a vertical line between two underlined unfilled with text lines. I am trying to construct an invoice and I need a break. If I try any of the shapes or inset functions it eliminates my underlined lines and shifts the whole document.

I am trying to construct an invoice. How can I install a vertical line between two or more underlined lines to create a break. I have tried the insert, shapes and nothing works. If I try any of the functions the whole document shifts to the right and I loose some of the lines. Is there a work around, or is I work not able to do what I want?
Thanks

It sounds as though you may have "Object Causes Wrap" activated for the Line Shape. This will push other content away.
See the Wrap Inspector.

Center text horizontally and vertically on composition?

Hello,
I'm working on a short projects (15 minutes length). Every 30 seconds a title fade in/out against a blank (grey) composition. How do I go about easily centering the text (single word) on the composition both horizontally and vertically? I know I can horizontally center via the paragraphs pallet, but how do I center on the vertical at the same time?
Right now I'm modifying the Anchor Point of the text so it's in the center (visually) of the text, and then set the Position to the center of the composition, but every time I increase the type size, I have to go through this all over again...and with different titles coming up every 30 seconds or so, a simple text size change turns into a lot of work.
I can only image there's a better way to do this and would appreciate any advice for an AE newb!
Thanks,
Kristin.

It is possible to do this via scripting, but it won't be "live", i.e. you would have to run a script to grab the dimensions of the text layer each time you want to update its vertical alignment.
It is also possible to roughly align text vertically using expressions given three limitations:
1) You'll have to be willing to consider the height of the text layer to only extend from the cap height of the first line to the baseline of the last line, meaning descenders and ascenders wouldn't be counted as part of the height of the text layer.
2) You'll have to manually locate the center of the first line of text.
3) You'll have to be happy with a consistent point size and line spacing throughout.
Given those limitations, vertical alignment can be done as follows:
Add a Position animator to your text layer. Delete the default range selector you won't need it. Next add the Line Spacing property to the newly-created animator (using its "Add" menu). In the Character panel, set your text layer's line spacing to 0 (it will really be set to .01, but the difference shouldn't be noticeable once we're done). In the Line Spacing animator, set the desired line spacing (unfortunately, "Auto" isn't an option).
Now set your Text layer's anchor point such that it falls in the center of the text's cap height (the height of a capital letter with no ascender or descenders).
Next, add the following expression to the Position property of the text animator (NOT the Position property of the text layer's Transform group):
>STA = text.sourceText.split("\r");
>value - [0, (STA.length-1)*propertyGroup(countUp = 2).property.lineSpacing[1]]/2
The second line should be all one line, but the forum insists on wrapping it. Be aware that if you later decide to change the point size of the font, you'll need to temporarily disable the text animator and center up the anchor point again.
You can also use this method to force the text layer to shift up to accommodate new lines by deleting the "/2" at the end of the second line of the expression.

How do I center text in Final cut Pro?

Hi, does anyone know how to directly center text with more than one line of text in Final Cut Pro?
If I have more than one line it doesn't seem to center properly. I've tried wireframe (which is inaccurate), center values (which doesn't work) and Boris 3D (which does the job but the space between letters isn't accurate so I need to try an alternative method).
Any ideas?

In Title 3D you use the Position X/Y button to adjust the height. The spacing between the letters in Title 3D can be adjusted both in tracking and in kerning by placing the cursor between a letter pair. Title 3D is perhaps one of the most accurate and precise text positioning titlers available in any software.

How to center text in Pages to show correctly on iBook Reader

Hi,
First, I have to say that I posted the same question on ''Creating ePubs'' discussioun page but nobody could help.
I am trying something really easy but could not solve it. Hope someone can help.
Ok, I know that if I choose ''Chapte Name'' as a pharagraph style, iBook reader automatically puts it into a new page, so the new page starts with the chapter name on top. I dont have any problems with my chapters.
However, I want my book to start with a page that has a brief info about the author. I want this info in the middle of the page (also centered in the middle). Than I want to go to the second page with a ''dedication'' part where I write my thanks to people. I also want this in the middle and centered. And finally I want to add my book title and author name together on the 3rd page. After that the chapters will start.
So, as I told you, the chapters work just fine. But when I try to center the text in the first 3 pages, (I press return several times on my keybord to do it) the pages interwine with each other. For example, the last part of page 2 goes on top of page 3.
I think this happens because I press the return key to center the texts. So, is there a way to lock texts to the pages where they belong to prevent them to interwine with other pages even if I press return to center the text
OR
Is there another way to center text to prevent them to interwine with other pages...
Thank you

One of the consequences of working all night on this was that there is errata, or improved insight.
As I mentioned previously, each of the four document parts that I tested is in its own section. This means that each of the first three document icons, in thumbnail view, has its own distinct yellow race track around it. The chapter/body text is in a fourth multi-page section.
On the first page, with invisibles and layout mode shown, I have a ¶ (pilcrow) showing on line 1, column 1. If I place the cursor before this mark, the text inspector shows the following:
Style is body
Character spacing is 0%
Line spacing is single (1)
Before paragraph is set to 172 pt.
After paragraph is set to 6 pt.
Now, if I place the cursor before the About the Author string:
Ruler set to 1.6 inches
Style is Heading 1
Character spacing is 0%
Line Spscing is single (1)
Before paragraph is set to 196 pt
After paragraph is set to 6 pt
Place cursor between end of Author and Pilcrow and press return.
With the cursor before the author description:
Style is body
My font choice was Baskerville, Regular 12 pt.
Left ruler set to 1.6 inches. Right ruler to 6.2 inches.
Character spacing is -4%
Line-height is set at multiple (1.2)
Before paragraph is 0
After paragraph is 12 pt.
Position cursor between last character and pilcrow - press return.
Insert section break
This is all there is too my first page:
For the Dedication page:
Line 1, Col 1 has the pilcrow and style is body
Character spacing is 0%
Line height is single (1)
Before and After paragraph are set to 0
With the cursor just before Dedication:
Left ruler set at 2.6 inches
Style is Heading 1
Character spacing is 0
Line height is 1.5
Before paragraph set to 190 pt
After paragraph set to 0 (yeah, raised my eyebrow too)
Place cursor between trailing n and pilcrow, press return.
With cursor on first line of names, just prior to first character:
Style is body text with Baskerville Regular 12 pt override.
Text justification is left.
Left ruler is set to 2.9 inches
Right ruler is set to 6.7 inches
Character spacing is 0
Line-height is 1.2
Before and after paragraph are 0
Insert cursor before last Pilcrow and press return
On the next line, there is a Pilcrow at col 1, place the cursor in front of it.
Style is body style
Character spacing is 0
Line-height is multiple (1.2)
Before paragraph is 0
After paragraph is 216 pt.
Press return to set the jump.
Insert section break
You can likely insert step 14 at step 7 and skip 9 - 13. It was late.
The Dedication page looks like this:
Hopefully, you missed something, or it wasn't sufficiently explained previously. I hope you can duplicate the above and discover unique, centered content in your ePub.

Center text in SLiM Login Manager

I'm working on some SLiM themes and I was wondering if it's possible to center the text of the username and password the user is typing? It always starts from the left and I haven't found any option to change this behaviour? Is it not possible?
I hope someone knows a definite answer for this, cheers.

Don't think so. You can reposition the input boxes but SLiM offers no text outlining option to my knowledge.

Getting text between two special characters as a new line

Hi all ,
I hope some one can point me in the right direction or tell me if its possible or if there is a function that can do this in tsql. I have table with two fields in a table ORDERNUM,NARRATIVE. The values in the NARRATIVE field are some what like this (they
come from a flat while and are delimited by a "^"). The examples are like :
OREDERNUM NARRATIVE
1234 ^Parcel shipped^picked^entry passed then returned back^white ford truck number 78455333^freight charges entered^parcel weight entered^parcel supervised^ticketsscannned^broken glass on
floor^
what i want to is seperate the text between the "^" as new line like
1234 parcel shipped
1234 picked
1234 entry passed then returned back
1234 white ford truck number 78455333
Can anyone please help me, is there a way or can any one show me what function does this? SUBSTRING for sure is not an answer as there is no fixed length for this.
Thanks

Why is it not possible to highlite text inside every PDF?

Hey guys,
Does anybody know why I cannot highlight text inside a few PDFs?
I know already the following:
If you scan a document and save it as a PDF, it is normally an ordinary picture and therefore you cannot highlight anything. However, I can highlight text inside some scanned PDFs. I assume that somebody (who and how?) used some sort of OCR software. If that is the case, Adobe Reader recognizes the “picture” as text and you can mark easily. So far so good.
The questions are: Who has to enable OCR scanning? Does Adobe Reader itself has a feature for OCR scanning? If I got a document, which is not yet “OCR scanned”, is there a possibility for me to enable OCR and therefore highlight the text afterwards?
Thanks in advance for your help (and excuse any language mistakes)!
Julian

Adobe Reader can't perform OCR. Adobe Acrobat has this feature.
