Link to text/spreadsheet without layout

Hello,
is there a possibility to only update the content of a link to a text/spreadsheet?
I choose to import plain text from Word into InDesign. But that text's gonna change. When the text has changed and I update the link in InDesign all my layout is gone cause there is no layout in the Word-document.
Is there a possibility to only update the content of a text/spreadsheet? When placing the text, I choose not to import the styles.
greetz,
Bart

Thanks for your response.
I don't think the investment in InCopy will be valuable for me. It's a single project every year.
So I'll do it manually.
I didn't choose to import with layout cause I've noticed that the layout changes often.
Thanks

  • [CS3] How to cut/copy/paste text frame without link

    Hi All,
    Please tell me how I will cut/copy and paste text frame with ignoring or removing links of text frame.
    After copying, the original text frame must contain its link but the newly create text frame should contain any link.
    Thanks,
    Aman Alam

    hey thanks for responding. pasting through text edit works, but if i just copy from the quote block and paste in the top of the message body, it keeps the quote formatting. if i Paste as Quotation, then it double-quotes it--two side bars...
    i guess part of the problem that i just realized, too, is that Mail must convert a message to rich text if you choose to quote text in a reply. because otherwise it could not possibly color the text, right? when i paste out of Mail and into Text Edit, the text color i saw in mail is preserved, meaning the text itself must contain formatting data (rich text).
    is there no way to reply to a mail and include the previous message as a quote without switching to rich text?

  • Links to text items in context

    When I carry out a custom search, the results displayed can be linked to via the display name or image link.
    However, when the user clicks on the display name link they are directed to a page which displays the text item alone - out of context from the page on which it would normally be found (ie minus normal template, style, layout). Is there a way (as on normal search engines) to be taken to the actual page on which the text item normally resides. I have used the page link on the result page to direct to attempt to replicate this but the page that is displayed when the page link is clicked is without the normal expected page template and is therefore not useful (ie it displays the text item on a blank page with the incorrect style and incorrect template). Is there any way around this so that the user is taken to the actual page or is there a way of changing the page template of the page onto which the user is directed to reflect the normal page templates?

    The search results are currently set to display in two tabs - pages and documents (both using standard search results one looking for items the other pages). The type or style of page result attributes could not be changed despite what is changed on the result option page of the wizard(you may be aware of this bug) so we are shown, in order, PAGE, CREATE DATE, PAGE GROUP and CATEGORY.
    When a user clicks on the Page link it is assumed that they would be taken to the complete page on which the result is based. However, this is not always the case. Each page in our page group consists of a navigation bar on the left and a header at the top with a multi-tabbed region below. There are two results that occur when the page link is clicked on: Either the user is navigated to the complete correct page on the site with the navigation page and other tabs in place (success) OR the user is taken to a page with a completely different style (Times new Roman even though there are no styles containing this font) and no navigation banner or other tabs. (disaster)In effect, it is showing just the content of one tab region in a blank template. This is no use to the user as they have then no way of navigating as they do not get the normal page setup.
    If I include PAGE as one of the attributes to be shown with the document results then you would assume that you could click on the pagelink to go to the page on which the document is shown. This is not the case and similar to the page results, the content of a single tab may be shown (not on the normal the page template) and the style is again times new roman (the page contents appearing without the other tabs, navigation banner and header).
    I hope this makes sense (as the logic of why it is happening doesn't seem to)

  • Editing the Text May Cause Layout Changes Message

    I have tons of files created in old illustrator 6.0 and now that I have CS2 loaded on Mac OS X.5.8 I'd like to open and edit some of these documents.
    It says, "This file contains text that was created in a previous version of Illustrator. This legacy text must be updated before you can edit it." It asks you to either Choose Update or OK to update later.
    So I chose Update for one of the files, save without compression. Then I open it and it looks OK. I thought that this UPDATING would allow me to work with the document freely. However, when I attempt to change some type I get a warning saying that "Editing the text may cause layout changes.• Choose Copy Text Object to update the text and preserve the original layout as a separate object. • Choose Update to update the text without creating a separate reference object." Why am I getting this warning? Do I really have to click on every bit of type I wish to edit and deal with this message each time? If I choose "update" the type disappears entirely and if I choose "copy text object" it grays out and I can't select it. Either way I have no way of editing my document.
    Please advise and keep answers as simple as possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi Mylenium,
    Wow. What a nightmare. We're not talking just retyping, it's really re-typesetting etc.
    Tell me, if I were to copy and paste the old document into a new one or something like that, would that bypass this problem?
    Also, someone in another thread which I started (link to it below) mentioned that I could "batch update the files as CMYK and with the legacy type updated as well." I know that it's separate issue, but I was wondering if I were to do this, might it help with this Text Editing issue?

    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance, very much.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How do I link to a spreadsheet (Numbers) from a word file (Pages)?

    I'm doing an assignment for a computers class that is based more around Windows applications than Mac applications. The assignment itself is quite easy, except that I need to link to a spreadsheet that I completed previously. However, whenever I attempt to insert a hyperlink, it only allows me to link to anothre Pages document, not any other type of file. How can I make it link to a Numbers file?

    The answer is: You don't! If you need the Numbers document why not do all of it there. It works like a Page Layout document. Take a look at the supplied templates to see how it works.

  • How can I protect formulae in a newly created spreadsheet without locking the whole sheet ?

    How can I protect formulae from being overwritten on a newly created spreadsheet without locking the whole sheet ?

    Olly,
    I'll be picky here on nomenclature ;-)
    Tables and other Obects can be locked, but Sheets can't be locked.
    If you wish to shield some parts of your content from accidental modification, arrange your layout to put that sensitive content in tables separate from the tables that need to be accessed, and lock the sensitive ones. It's also possible, but rather clunky, to place shields over the sensitive area. A shield can be made by Inserting a Shape and positioning the shape over the sensitive area. With the shape selected, go to the Graphics Inpector and set the Opacity of the shape to zero. You will then be able to see through the shape but will no be able to Click through it to get at the cells below. This method is inconvenient because you have to worry about keeping the shape aligned with the table should the table need to change size or shape.

  • In browser editing: Can my client add new images with hyper-links to their websites without having to replace images already there?

    My client would like to be able to add new images to their site themselves and use them as hyper-links to external sites without having to replace an old image with the new one (or blank place holding images - far from ideal). Is there ANY way that this is possible? They do not wish to update and add new images/links regularly and it is certanly not intended to be used as a blog or way of being able to constantly keep content new and fresh otherwise I would set them up with a blog account and add that to the site. It is merely a way of adding links to other local businesses every once in a while.
    Please see the page they wish to update... Friends. (Please excuse the layout... the customer will not be able to resize or edit the images themselves and wishes to add them as-is!)
    Thanks in advance for any help. If anybody knows how I can ask an Adobe official mod, that would be great... that, or make a request for a future addition in an update?
    Warm regards,
    Ben Gathercole

  • When I create email link the text disappears

    I don't produce websites but I make edits as needed if not too complex. I know this is probably beyond simple but I'm not getting it. I'm trying to create an email link on client contact page. I type in [email protected] Preview in browser. Fine. I highlight the email address. Go to create email button link. Preview in browser. The link is now there but the text is invisible. I'm using DW in CS5. Delete the line. Put the cursor where I want it. I select create email link and type in link name and the email address which are both the same ([email protected]). Not working.
    Update: Googled how to make email link in DW and followed the instructions. Everytime I make a link the text becomes invisible but the link work.

    A wild guess:  Your link color is white on a white background.  Or your link color is black on a black background.   Link colors are usually contained in the sitewide CSS.  Without a URL to your problem page, it's impossible to comment further.

  • Did you know how to link the text in two or more text boxes?

    Did anyone know how to link the text in two or more text boxes in Pages 5.0? Thanks for your answer.
    Qualcuno sa come collegare il testo in due o più caselle di testo nella versione 5.0 di Pages. Grazie per le vostre risposte.

    It's just one of the many, many features that have been eliminated or changed. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu and review & rate the new versions in the Mac App Store.
    If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09. You can continue to use them to get things done.

  • Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them eithe

    Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue.  I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all.  Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

    Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
    My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

    Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Hello Apple.
    It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed?  (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
    Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
    I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
    I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.
