Line on the left; Patterns in objects; Boxes round text

I produce teaching materials which have to be printed in grayscale, so I need lots of ways of distinguishing items (different kinds of headings, lists, boxes, etc) without using colour. A few features seem to be missing in this regard, but pls tell me if I just haven't spotted them yet:
1. I want a vertical line or 'bar' down the left side of certain kinds of text which automatically lengthens as lines are added. It's possible in Table but that's quite annoying as cells don't automatically split at the end of a page.
2. Objects, such as boxes of text, can be filled with various patterns - lines, spots, etc - in Word, but I can't find an equivalent feature in InDesign CS4.
3. I want boxes round some headings. Para Rules and Underline lets you put lines above and below but not at the sides. Is there a way of getting them without creating a new frame, pasting the text in, and anchoring the box?

May be useful to disable the "Track changes" feature

  • I repaired a cracked iphone 5c screen now I have a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. please help!!

    Hi all,
    Please help, I repaired an iphone 5c and have now tried two different lcd screens on it but all I get is a black screen or a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. I definitely have the cables connected properly etc and before I repaired it the phone had a cracked screen and there was a picture on it.
    I have tried hard reset and nothing. I have tried connecting to iTunes but it asks me to confirm on the iPhone which I can't do as there is nothing on the display.  I have tried randomly pressing all over the screen but it doesn't work. So I can't even try restoring it on iTunes.
    Please help any advice will be appreciated! I successfully have repaired iphone 4's and iphone 5 before but this is the first iphone 5c.
    Thanks.

    Since you were successful the last two times, I'm sure you will figure it out.

  • Black line to the left of redacted section

    We have couple of users who, when they redact a section of a document (using Acrobat 8 Pro), display a thin black line on the left-hand side of the area that is redacted.  It doesn't happen every time and that is what is confusing me.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Little horizontal lines at the left side of the page, printed on the HP Laserjet 4 plus?

    Folks, It seems that when I print to my HP laserjet 4 plus, I see some tiny horizontal lines on the left side of the printed page, spaced 4-5 inches apart, all at the very furthest left side of the page.  Is this something that I can turn off?  Are they some sort of binding marks?  I am printing to this printer via jet direct card, over TCP/IP, from a Windows 7 64 bit PC.  I love this printer, and recently changed out the exit assembly rollers, and now works like it was new.  I also have a 500 sheet drawer and a duplexer installed on it, and I would like to figure out how to get rid of those little horizontal tick marks that show up on the left side of the page.  Any help or assistance is GREATLY appreciated,  Thanks so much in advance!

  • Line on the left side of my screen

    Hi, i have a 2.4ghz macbook white, it fell from me recently but before that i noticed an almost invisible line on the left side of my screen, it wasnt broken or anything, after it fell the line became more visible, it turned into green and sometimes two lines, but now it is a thick white line that can cover 1 letter...
    i ran the hardware test and an error occurred 4SNS/1/40000000 TCOD-100.125
    Thanks for your help

    I had line(s) on my screen that would not go away and I only found one solution. Well, they would go away when I tried the Genius Bar (the only bar I hang out in these days). Anyhow, the lines were vertical 80%-90% of the time no matter what I was doing. Mostly one, sometimes 2, rarely 3. They even faded in and out when I was just sitting there! I took it to the apple store once and I couldn't show it to them. I took it home to see if it could get worse. Fearing it will eventually just fail as soona s my wrranty expires in teh end fo Feb, I took it in again. They are going to replace the logic board, but they have to order it then replace it; which takes a couple of weeks at least.
    So, the only solution was to replace the board. Oh, and if you can't prove it to them because the iMac seems to know the "doctor's office", just take a photo of the screen problem and take it in. That will be evidence enough.
    Applecare is great!

  • Can you place keyword headings outside the left margin without resorting to using text boxes?

    I want to place different keyword headings outside the margins of my document. Is there a way I can do this without resorting to textboxes?

    Hi Eli,
    You cannot place text outside the document margins without placing that text into a shape or a text box. Objects, including text boxes and the text they contain, may be placed outside the margins.
    Jerry's solution involves moving the left document margin closer to the edge of the table. As you've seen, doing so also adds cmplications to managing text behaviour on the left side of the page.
    Here's a variation on Jerry's suggestion that may be easier to manage:
    In the Document Inspector, set the left margin to the position at which you want the keyword headings to begin. (0.5")
    In the Layout Inspector, set the left margin to make the document margin + this layout margin equal to the position you want for the 'regular' margin fo the body of your document. (0.5" to give the default 1" body margin).
    Assuming there is text before the first Keywordheading:
    Click immediately after that text, press return to insert a paragraph break, then go Insert > Layout Break to insert a Layout break.
    Type the single 'word' "Keywordheading" (without the quotes, and with no spaces), followed by a return, then go Insert > Layout Break to insert a second layout break.
    Double click Keywordheading to select it.
    Apply any formatting you want (I used a two point larger font size and Bold) for the heading.
    In the Layout inspector, set the left margin to zero.
    You now have a 'master copy' for your keyword heading, which can be copied, then pasted to each location you want this type of heading to appear.
    Select the first Layout Break, the line with 'Keywordheading', and the second Layout break, as shown in the image.
    Copy.
    Click immediately after the text preceding the next Keyword heading.
    Press return, then Paste.
    Repeat as needed.
    If you have alrady entered the text for these headings, you can use these steps to move them into the keyword heading spaces:
    For each heading:
    Select the words that make up the heading. Cut (command-X)
    Doubleclick 'Keywordheading'. Go Edit > Paste and Match Style.
    Repeat for next heading.
    If you have not yet entered the text for these headings:
    Doubleclick 'Keywordheading' to select it.
    Type the heading.
    Repeat.
    Note that after inserting these heaings, you can copy the three lines (Layout break, word(s)&return, Layout break) of any of them, then replace the text of that heading with the text of a new heading.
    Within the indented parts between headings, bulleted lists will behave normally.

  • MacBook has a bunch of lines on the left side of the screen.

    Hello all, how are you doing?
    Anyways to away from all the bullcrap, my MacBook is having issues with its screen and I really don't know what to do. I didn't use it for a few days when SimCity came in, and when I finally decided to use it, it had a bunch of lines in the screen that are quite annoying. For the most part I ignored the problem because at one point all I had to do was open and close it and the lines would go away, but now there not going away and as of yesterday my entire screen has been having problems. Like a few minutes ago the entire screen was going white so I closed it and it went away, but I just want to fix this now before my screen is completely broken. One thing that I did find out with my natural curosity or experminting to fix things was that if I bent the edge of the screen on the left side, the lines go away so hopefully that's telling somehow.
    Any help will be appreciated and I'll post two pictures below.

    The screen or the graphic card are damaged. In your case, you have to take your MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller to have the computer repaired, because it's not a software-related issue

  • Yellow line on the left hand side of my screen iphone 4 after 18 months why has this occured whats the soloution?

    I have had my iphone 4 for 18 months on contract..I have had no problems at all up until the begining of this month.   The first issue was that the home button, double click issue wasn't working too well.  I read that their was a way to calibrate the button which I had done ( please note this does not include opening up the phone) and I noticed that it works much better.  However lately I have noticed that I have a yellow tint, line vertical on the left hand side of the screen.   It is very faint when I wake my phone but then gets darker and darker. 
    I have read that people have noticed this on buying their new iphones however mines has just appeared.  my contract is up in 6 months so I'm not keen on spending extra on the phone is there anything else I can do?

    Try the basics from the manual.  Restart, reset, restore.

  • Iphone 4s has yellow line on the left of the screen in camera app

    Well basically as the title says. I bought my iphone 4s on Friday, came home and turned it on. Went through all the steps to get it up and going. Decided to test out the camera and it had a bunch of multi colored lines running across the screen. Decided to take it back to the sprint store, by that time(about 15 minutes) they were gone and the lead tech said it was probably just booting still but 15 minutes seemed excessive. Got home camera was fine but now I have a giant yellow line running down the left of my screen. I've tried cleaning the camera and screen so I'm assuming it is a problem with an internal lense. Would it be best just to take it back and get an new one or take it to apple and let them service it. Sprint is a lot closer then apple and Ill get a brand new phone right there and not have to wait.  The bottom is really the left side of my camera/screen
    Also I'm not exactly sure why all my pictures rotate when I sync them with my computer:

    I have literally had the exact same problem with my AT&T iphone! It's so irritating because the camera is one of the main features of the 4S. I am going to get a new one from the Apple Store I think.

  • Align document to the left (not single objects)

    Hi,
    your help is needed. I created a layout in Pages and even if I click on adjust to complete page width, the document is not shown across the whole width of the screen. Left of the "0" marking of the ruler is a grey space that's unused.
    How do I get the document to be aligned to the left and be shown on the full workspace.
    Thanks a lot!
    FinRon

    FinRon,
    The grey space is the region that your printer driver has told Pages your printer can't print to. Many printers have a small part of the page that they can't put ink on. For some printers this area is rather large. And, some printers have paper selections including borderless printing that will completely eliminate the grey area. So, it's not Pages, but your printer driver that has the limitation. Check the available paper sizes for your printer and select a borderless option if you want to print to the edge.
