Link within block of text

i want to have a link that is within a block of text, so text before then the link and some more text after.
however i am really struggling to do this and the link keeps ending up on its own new line as a label or using htmlText. does anyone know any way of doing this?
thank you

Removing Links From Block of Text

Is there a method to remove all links from a block of text?
It's mostly plain text with many links throughout. I want to simply
remove all the links without doing one at a time.
Thanks,
Steve

or a hackish way to do this would be to highlight the entire
bit of text and then make one huge link, and then delete the a tag
as there would only be one a tag then.

Add style to large block of text without affecting existing styles within that text

Hello! First post here.
I have a long document of text that mostly does not have text styles attached (this was a mistake). However, there is a large number of areas of styled text within.
Is there a way to select all the text and apply a style to only the unstyled text without affecting the existing styles?
Doing this by hand text block by text block would take a long long time.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
THX!

What do you mean by "unstyled text"? It must have some definition, anyway.
Like others, [No Paragraph Style] and [Basic paragraph] are searchable, too.

Email text not displaying normally / links within email not functioning

All of a sudden, emails are not displaying normally; symbols and numbers are interspersed within words of emails, no graphics, no functioning links within emails on my BlackBerry Curve 8530. Verizon Wireless suggested I upgrade to a different phone. That's helpful.

Have you sent HTML emails to GMAIL, HOTMAIL and YAHOO accounts successfully before? Are those services capable of handling HTML formatted email? Not all email clients can handle that type of email.

[JS] Find hyperlinks in a block of text

Is there any way I can easily, given a block of text, find which hyperlinks have their SourceTexts inside that block of text, or overlapping it?
The only way I could think of was to loop through all the hyperlinks in the document and then check to see if any character in their SourceText was === to any character in the block of text we're searching. That seems a little wasteful.

This works, but it's slow:
// Returns an array of Hyperlinks whose SourceTexts are
// contained within (or overlapping with) textObj
function checkHyperlinks (textObj, doc) {
var foundLinks = new Array();
var overlap;
for (var linkIndex=doc.hyperlinks.length-1; linkIndex >= 0; linkIndex--) {
    overlap = false;
    var link = doc.hyperlinks[linkIndex];
    var linkText = link.source.sourceText;
    for (c=0; c < linkText.length; c++) {
      for (d=0; d < textObj.length; d++) {
        if (linkText.characters[c] == textObj.characters[d]) {
          overlap = true;
          break;
      if (overlap) break;
    if (overlap) {
      foundLinks.push (link);
return foundLinks;

Using nested styles to break blocks of text into different pages

Hello everyone,
I'm treating data collected through a Google Docs form and I've already set it up so that the questions appear on the left and are followed by the respective answers sequentially so that I have a simple way to copy paste the whole information to Indesign. Then I'm going to use nested styles to define individual styles for the questions and answers.
What I can't do, however... and I'm not even sure if it's possible, is how to tell Indesign to break text that is laid out sequentially into different lines or to break blocks of text so that they start in the beggining of the next page without having to resize the text frames by hand.
As a visual example this is what the data I've exported out of excel looks like:
Question 1 (tab) Answer A1 (line break)
Question 2 (tab) Answer A2 (line break)
Question 3 (tab) Answer A3 (line break)
Question 1 (tab) Answer B1 (line break)
Question 2 (tab) Answer B2 (line break)
Question 3 (tab) Answer B3 (line break)
(and so on in groups of 3 questions)
And I want to turn it into:
Question 1 (turn the tabs into line breaks)
Answer A1
Question 2
Answer A2
Question 3
Answer A3
(and then start at the beggining of a new page)
Question 1
Answer B1
Question 2
Answer B2
Question 3
Answer B3
I can't define the size of the text frames so that the next group of questions+answers starts at the beggining of a new page because some of the answers are multi-line fields and thus the number of lines of the answers are variable and they can come short of the text frame edge or pass it.
Can anyone share some insight of how to do this (or if it is at all possible)?
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your input.
I'm trying to automate this process as much as possible because I don't want to have to crunch the data manually myself later on, instead just teach someone else how to do it.
The first search and replace action seems basic enough but regarding the second one I would have to manually assign that paragraph style to the line where the data would break because one can only assign character styles in nested styles, right?
Also I've heard that ID CS5 automatically creates new pages based on a template when you paste information inside the first page, is that so? That would be great because that way the person wouldn't have to manually create pages and link the contents throughout the document but instead simply open my template and paste the information within the first master page. That's not possible with CS4, is it?
Thank you very much!

Possible to modify blocks of text as defined by Touch Up Text tool?

I have scanned a document and OCRed it. Using the Touch Up Text Tool, I can approach the text, but the text areas are not as defined by the tool. Is there a way to modify a block as defined? I.e. There is a heading over 2 columns of text. The OCR process defined this as one block of text.

Thank you very much for your input.

Trying to link buttons to specific text in document

I'm on a mac using Adobe InDesign CS6. I have been slowly getting into converting our newspaper into a digitial interactive document including buttons to different content, hyperlinks, etc.
My dilemma is I want to create buttons that will link directly to the text in a document, not just the page the text is on.
What I am currently doing is creating a bookmark for each page, then making text anchors within each bookmarked page for each story (usually placing the cursor at the beginning of the headline).
When I go to create the buttons to link to these stories, I am using "Go To Destination" and then choosing the appropriate text anchor. But when I go to output my document and preview the interactive form, the buttons are just linking to the page the text is on and not to the text directly.
I'm sure I must be missing something. Any help?

This could be as simple as a zoom setting. When in acrobat if you zoom in, say to 200%, and then click the link, does it go to the page or the paragraph?
You detailed things fairly clearly above but to be sure, when you set the text anchor, did you set it as a text anchor and not URL or page? When you do this it should add it as a destination so you won't see it in the Hyperlinks panel. Then with the button, ensure it's the correct text anchor and set the zoom level to whatever you would like - inherit would take the current zoom setting from Acrobat when the document is opened. I can't test on CS6 but CS5.5 seems to do this fairly well - the zoom setting to me made it look like it went to the page and not the text.

Windows Mail App: Links appearing as plain text.

Some of my emails are not properly displaying web links through my Yahoo account. For example: I am personally subscribed to a website known as Slickdeals (http://slickdeals.net), and none of their Deal Notifications have active links within
the Mail app. Instead, website addresses appear as plain text, even though the same links work just fine when logging into my Yahoo Mail account through IE or Google Chrome.
How can I fix this issue? I actually love the Mail app, but this is simply a deal-breaker for me if it can not be amended.

website addresses appear as plain text, even though the same links work just fine when logging into my Yahoo Mail account through IE or Google Chrome.
That could just be a difference between E-mail client treatment of text strings which look like URLs but are in HTML and therefore are not links. Different E-mail clients also provide different functionality in support of such strings when Plain-text
messages are involved.
Notice that now IE10 has a helpful right-click Go to copied address command to help reduce the inconvenience of such a situation.

Why can't I use links within my email messages? When a link is clicked, nothing happens--it doesn't go to that specific website.

HI Ana ...
I had FB working again two days ago, and yesterday in mid-serve Safari just "couldn't find the server" once more...
That's a different issue...
First, if you can just use English, open System Preferences > Language & Text then select the Language tab. Drag English to the top of the list then restart your Mac.
Now for the server issue. Try using Open DNS. That shold help the "couldn't find the server" issue...
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.

Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Try accessing Facebook on Safari now.

Creating links within a photo gallery

I created a few albums and I want to know how to create links for specific photos. For example, I would like to link from one of the photos in gallery view to a larger version of that photo. I created another page with the larger photo but I cant create a "click here" link within the description. The inspector allows me to chose create hypertext link after highlighting text but it doesnt work. Also, if I create a link outside of the description the link appears on every page in that gallery. I also noticed that the link I created on the main gallery page appears on every page. Further, I would like the link to open in a new window.
Thanks for the help.

After I published the site the link I created in the photo description works in the album view but not when you're viewing the photo itself.
Any suggestions?

Links within a textbox

Does anybody know how to handle URL links within a textbox in Jdeveloper 3.1?
Thx.
null

Well, it really depends on what you want to do. Whether you're talking about a Java client or an HTML client (JSP or servlet), what you mean by "handling" URL links, and whether you want to generate a read-only string that users can click, or use an editable text field and process the input somehow.
The simplest of these is to include a link in an HTML client: you generate your link in your JSP or servlet, including the appropriate tags. If you want to generate a link from a Java application you're probably talking about using the java.net.URL class to connect to a URL, or launching a browser as an external application.
In any case, this sounds like as much a Java problem as a JDeveloper problem, so you might want to consult some Java tutorials or books for more information.

FrameMaker 8 to PDF: disappearance of blocks of text disappear

Since updating to FrameMaker 8, have been unable to generate a usable PDF file. Blocks of text are missing from the PDF.
After "repairing" FrameMaker 8, able to generate accurate PDF file once or twice, then problem starts again.
Anyone know what this is all about?

Indirectly. The original link was to the thread in the Webx forums where this was discussed. ANY link prior to April 2009 to the old Adobeforums will not work. No provision was made in the Jive format forums for updating all of the existing links when the forums were migrated.
Thank you for posting the link to the blog where the hotfix is mentioned.
FWIW, the old link was to this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1235530

Dynamic linking within TextArea component

how can i include an MC or button inline within the HTML text
of a TextArea component -- and also have that object link to an AS
function? i want to have icons within the text of my TextArea that
open pop-up windows within the Flash application (MC linkage).
is this possible?
is asfunction used? if so how?

Well if you are still interested in using a text component
instead of a Button the way you would go about this is using
textWidth. Here's how I've done it before using a text / label
whatever you want that shows text.
// => Set our text we got from database
myText.text = "This is the text I got from the DB";
// => Validate it so that way we make sure we get right
numbers
myText.validateNow();
// => Find out how wide our text really is.
var textWidth:Number = myText.textWidth
// => Reset the width of our text component and add 20 for
a little buffer
myText.width = textWidth + 20;
Now my suggestion is if your going to be dynamically creating
these on the fly from a database call you throw it into a method /
class and have that do all the work for you so all you have to do
is pass the text to it and it resizes itself based on the example
above.

Can't open any links within my emails. The display reads, "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (blockedhttp) isn't associated with any program." How can I fix this?

Looks like blocking software to purposely block a page by messing with the url.
