It seems you may be trying to make a timeline. There are timeline tools out there that may be better for your particular task than Numbers.

Numbers has no object like a textbox or line that takes input from a cell of a table. You can make suggestions to Apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback"

How to link a text box to an anchor frame in the master pages?

Ok, as the title states, we are trying to figure out if it is possible to link a text box to an anchor frame in the master page. When you look at our Master Page layout, we have a text box in the upper left hand corner of the left hand page, this is used for our machine serial numbers. Then we have an anchor frame that automatically fills out the figure number. Let's say I have pages 2 & 3 (left & right), they have a S/N at the top of the page for the machine, then pages 4 & 5 have a different S/N. If I have to add more pages in between pages 2 & 3 (bumping the current 4 & 5 to 6 & 7), the anchor frame bumps to the next page, but the S/N text box doesn't. Is there a way to fix it so that they both move to the next page? Thanks for the help.
P.S. I can include images and other info if needed.

I have included a two pictures that should help me explain.
Master Page:
This is the master page set up, the "Page Text Box" has the flow set to "B" while the S/N text box has the flow set to "A". This setup is for our parts manuals, the left page is usually an illustration while the right page is usually a parts list. The text box, anchored frame & paragraph tag are empty in the master page set up. The "page text box" has a flow of "B" and the "S/N text box" has a master flow of "A".
Body Page 1:
When we create new pages, the paragraph tag automatically fills in the figure title on the left page, then we add an anchor frame within the text box to hold the illustration. You will notice that I added in a "test" serial number at the top of the page. Now if I need to go back and add two pages before this, the anchor frame, illustration and parts list will move to a new page, but the S/N text box will not. The "Before S/N TBD" would stay on the original page.
This is what happens, the text box containing the illustration and the parts list "bump" to the next page, but the S/N text box does not. So the question we have is there a way to link that text box to the page so when we create new pages the S/N text box moves with the illustration.
Does this help?
Thanks for the assistance Error7103.

Is it possible to make a text box cycle/rotate through text, like a slide show does?

Is it possible to make a text box cycle through 3 or 4 separate pieces/groups of text, like a slide show does with photos? So that when I open my site a text area says "Statement 1", then 10 seconds later it changes to "Statement 2", then 10 seconds later it chagnes to "Statement 3", etc.
Its that possible with a text box? My desire is to have 3 or 4 testimonials that change every 10 seconds.
You can see that right now it's a single testimonial:

All help is appreciated
Thanks!

Right. Some plugins have zip file downloads while others are just copy & paste.
In DW, go to File > New > Blank page > JavaScript.
Copy & paste the Cycle plugin code into your new JS page.
SaveAs cycle.2.9.81.js in whichever site folder you normally keep scripts.
Link your HTML page to your new cycle script:
Insert > Script > Script (browse to folder containing your cycle script). Hit OK.
Don't forget to add a link to the jQuery core library, too. Plugins don't work without it.

Is it possible to add a text box to an image in Aperture?

is it possible to add a text box/caption to an image in Aperture? (I do NOT have photoshop)

Do you want to write it directly onto the image? Then install and use the free BorderFX plug-in for Aperture. It will let you write text annotations directly onto the image or onto a border.

Re-linking multiple text boxes in InDesign

So here's my problem....
I've laid out a magazine in InDesign. It has many features, complete with graphics, insets, etc. One of my contributing authors wants his story (as published) sent to him separately in order to have it translated into Japanese. It's six pages long. I've copied & pasted it into a new 6 page InDesign document. But now the text box links are broken. I want to re-link the text boxes (already filled with text) back together, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. I really DON'T want to have to reflow all the text and graphics again. Isn't there a simple way to just re-link the text Boxes?

Instead of copy/pasting, you would have been better off going to
Layout>Pages>Move Pages and moved them to a new document. Then the text
threads would have stayed intact.

Linking Dynamic text boxes?

Hi there,
This might be straight forward, but I would like to know how could one link dynamic text boxes so that the information would flow? In a way, the information would flow from:
(XML) Input A into BOXA00, BOXA01, BOXA02, BOXA03, etc.
(XML) Input B into BOXB00, BOXB01, BOXB02, BOXB03, etc.
(XML) Input C into BOXC00, BOXC01, BOXC02, , BOXC03, etc.
Any takers?

Hi i recently have made a function that can calculate the amount of text that will fit into a specified text box. See my attached file. Notice that the box will only accommodate the text in red since that is the maximum it can display.
"This here one is a very very very long long long text that cannot really fit completely into this box so we will have to cut it at some index point"
My function getTextExtent will return an object with properties
nIndex -> which determines the index at which the text will be delimited
fExceeded -> is true if the text is longer than the allocated height of the text field.

Linking Floating Text Boxes in Pages - What Happened?

A year ago, I prepared various documents (i.e., newsletter and book-type document) in Pages. I was able to link floating text boxes. A month ago, I got a message after opening my last year's newsletter indicating that the links to the boxes had been broken when I opened the document. In addition, the command disappeared from the command box. I found instructions in the Apple website, but these referred me back to the command that no longer exists in the command box.
I remembered that when I switched from Windows to Apple in 2009, I was impressed that I did not need a publishing software to prepare my newsletter. I was able to do everything I needed with Pages. I am wondering whether Apple decided to change the versatility of Pages and add a publishing software.
Can anyone help me? I really hope that Apple did not destroy Pages' versatility. However, I have learned that adaptation is the name of the game. Therefore, I will do whatever needs to be done. I just need to know what to do. Thanks for helping!

Is it possible to scale a text box by % but also transform the contents?

Is it possible to scale a text box by % but also transform the contents?
Object > Transform > Scale only transforms the box.
Grabbing and dragging a corner while holding shift/ctrl is not accurate enough.
Thanks

Object > Transform > Scale only transforms the box.
Object -> Transform -> Scale of 200% when applied to a text frame full of text works here: frame doubles in size, text doubles in font size. (CS5.5. and CS6 on Win7) It works on images, too.
In fact, I almost can't reproduce the behavior you report at all. The exception is this: If in CS5.5. I fill a frame with text, and then select the frame with the Direct Select tool (the white arrow) and use Object -> Transform -> Scale, then just the frame changes in size, and the text doesn't change. When you select the frame, which selection tool are you using?

How do you link 2 text boxes in new pages

How do you link two text boxes in the new pages. The old one was much easier to use.

I think this is impossible! Ive been trying today and I couldnt do it. Then I opened up an old document that had text linking in it and I got a message telling me that the text boxes were now unlinked! Why would you remove that? For me this software is now useless. How on earth do I get my old version back?

How to link two text boxes so that text flows from one to the other.

In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, I have managed to link two text boxes with JavaScript.
I have deselected the "scroll long text" and selected auto text size.
I have entered the script into the "custom keystroke script"
if ( event.fieldFull || event.willCommit ) this.getField("Details2").setFocus();
Now my problem is this works for IE but I can't get it to work with adobe reader or pdf expert on iPad.
I need my forms to work with both, windows & ios.
Any suggestions?

See the following article:
JavaScript - setFocus Method for tabbing to next form field
And see if iOS can even handle the sample form.
iOS and android devices are not a powerful as your desktop of laptop computer and have limited support for JavaScript within PDF forms. This limitation for specific apps ranges from none to quite a bit but not all JavaScript.

Livecycle Designer 7.0 - How do I link a text box in a form to a radio button or checkbox?

Hello,
I am using Livecycle Designer 7.0 to create a form. I have a scenario where I have several options on a question where they choose one radio button. The last option of the radio button has a text box accompanying it and I only want it to be able to be filled out/typed into if that particular radio button is chosen. Not to be able to be typed into if that particular radio button is not chosen as an answer to that question.
How do I do that?
Also how to I do the same for a text box to be entered into and typed into only if the accompanying checkbox is checked?
Help?

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask Designer related form questions in the Designer forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_es/livecycle_des igner_es
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

Is it possible to have a text box in front of a widget?

I have my layout ready on iBooks Author. Every widget was sent to back of each page (Send to Back). Some have text boxes on top of them (Bring to Front). Everything looks perfect.
When I open the iBook on an ipad, all widgets are at the front of the pages, and all text boxes are covered by the widgets, were superposition occurs.
I want my text to be on top at all times, just like its shown by the iBooks Author interface.
One last thing, if I open the iBook on the ipad, the table of contents thumbnails shows everything like its supposed to be. Its the pages themselves that are all wrong, with unreadable text caused by the widgets, as described above.
Which makes me thing this is clearly a bug.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

You can't? Just to give you some context, I work as a graphic designer, I'm creating for the first time an iBook for a client and I have quite a few examples already.
A couple of vague examples:
- Imagine a diagonal animation from the bottom left corner to the top right corner of the page. I could do this with keynote or html, for example. Now imagine you want some text floating at the top left and bottom right corner.
I wont get into details, but the fact the animation is "cutting" through the text is very much relevant to the context.
- A page with a bold white title, a strong photographic lowkey background and some kind of interaction of top of it.
- A page with a keynote widget occupying almost the entire area, and a title in text format (that would superpose with they keynote but not with its graphics)
- etc etc
These are all impossible scenarios.
The actual interaction with text/images and interactive elements is nonexistent.
But I understand now that the interactive bits of the book must be separated from the other content - its context -which is a shame. And I understand it's not a bug, from what you say. The iBA interface shows the book like a PFD export, in a way, as well as the thumbnails at the Table of Contents, were all the text is visible. The actual pages have a different behaviour.
Thank you very much for the fast feedback. I will use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu, as suggested.

Is there a way to have a "text box" stay with a table or chart?

I have multiple tables on one sheet. I understand that the table is named over in the left side of the screen. For what i need to do, I am looking at multiple tables on one sheet. Its easier to know which is which by having a text box above with its desctription. If I need to move that table I would like for the text box to move with the table it is for, rather than having to move them both seperately. Is there a way to like "merge" them together? I've selected the two together and looked for an option in the inspector & in the menu bar, yet still cant figure it out.
=/ help!!

For a table, you can use the Table Inspector to Show Name (checkbox near the top of the Inspector pane).
As seen above, the Table name can be formatted using a choice of font, size and colour (not changed in the example). To format, click on the displayed name to select its frame/box. Then use the controls in the format bar to chose font, set size and color, and set the background colour if desired.
I had finally just figured that out before I read this, after quite some time of messing around with it. Thanks for your quick response. Wish i realized these discussions were available when I first started using numbers! How very helpful!!
And to fireflyer, thanks for that advice I didnt know you can do that and I will be able to use that in many situations! =)

3 Questions- Two about text boxes and one about something else! (10 Points)

Hi, I'm doing a large project in java and have ran into several issues. These are summed up in these three questions:
1. How would I make certain words certain colours/formats? I have been told I should a JTextPane, but all my text is currently in a box created like this:
static JTextComponent textbox = new JTextArea("", 23, 60);
2. How would I give that above box (or the JTextPane if I used that) line numbers next to each line. Not part of the text box, but on the left hand side numbers go down every line, however (and here's the catch) when you scroll the text box, the line numbers have to scroll also, so they stay in touch with the lines.
3. How would I launch an external application? At the start its just an .exe, however I have to load it with certain parameters? any ideas?
Thank you
Alex
