Reset Text Wrap and Object Placement defaults?

Using Pages 5.5.2 (w Yosemite).
Wondering if there's any way to set a default preference for the Text Wrap and Object Placement parameters in the Format > Arrange tab?
For example, more often than not I need to have Text Wrap set to "None", rather than "Automatic". I was at least hoping that once I'd set a particular object to "None", any new objects I created or which were dragged into that same document would inherit that same Text Wrap setting (in much the same way that any new drop shadow setting becomes the new default when applying the drop shadow effect to subsequent selections). But even THAT doesn't seem to be the case with the Text Wrap & Object Placement options -- much less being able to reset a new global preference.
Any suggestions (which still involve using Pages 5.5.2) appreciated.
Thanks,
John B

just discovered a related topic: when importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?
But that thread ends up going in a slightly different direction, since having to create placeholder shapes, and then duplicating (+ individually repositioning) same, for almost every time I dragged an image into a Pages doc would actually be MORE work than the current annoyance of having to reset the Text Wrap setting for most new objects.
I just want a way to set a global preference for that adjustment -- or at least a preference to have all new objects start off with the same Text Wrap (and Object Placement) settings as the last ones used.
Possibility? Or Feature Request?

Type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?

Indesign CS3: type on a path ignores text wrap around objects?
is this true? or do I have a setting that I'm missing?
thanks.

Seems that it does, and in CS4 as well.
What are you doing with type on a path that requires it to honor wrap? Could you do it by cutting the path and threading?

Text Wrapping and Spelling Using iCloud Email in the Browser (Safari)

Unlike any of my other email sites (GoDaddy, Yahoo, Google), the iCloud site does not real-time spellcheck or word-wrap.
It is not a browser setting, since as I said, the other sites in the same browser spellcheck and wrap just fine.
MobileMe wrapped and spellchecked too, but those have been replaced by iCloud. Too bad.
So the question is, running Safari and navigating to https://www.icloud.com/#mail, how can I force the Compose Message window to wrap text properly and also spellcheck without having to "invoke" the spellchecker? It doesn't do that now, and yet all the other sites do...

thx for your response. are saying websites such as hotmail and yahoo mail detect that they are being accessed via firefox and turn off the JavaScript that makes hot links? really? additionally, i have friends with firefox in which hyperlinks stay active when they are copied and pasted.
was the "Make Link" add-on you posted supposed to fix the problem? i downloaded it, but i don't know where the "context menu" is that is supposed to help me. how to i view this context window now that i have downloaded the add-on?

Preview pane no text wrapping and scrollbars missing, and how to copy corrected settings to other folders/make default?

Hi, (this may be in the 353 items thrown up on a search of Mozilla support, but there seems to be a relevance/sort issue.)
I don't want thunderbird to take up my whole screen. There are some problems when using a smaller window:
1. TEXT NOT WRAPPING IN PREVIEW PANE: can you please advise the settings to make the text automatically wrap to the preview pane width? It goes off the edge. I don't want to have to scroll to see it or make my preview pane bigger. (I did this ages ago and need to do it again as I had to rebuild TB)
3. COPY CUSTOM VIEW SETTINGS FOR ONE FOLDER TO OTHER FOLDERS OR SET AS DEFAULT: can you please advise instructions how to do this? (So I can apply my corrected settings to all other folders views!)
2. DONE: VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL SCROLL BARS IN PREVIEW PANE: (I solved this, this is for readers with the same problems!) The scrollbars will not show if the toolbars at the top of the preview pane are wider than the pane. (I think this is called a bug.) Workaround:
(a) maximise thunderbird window/widen the preview pane to show all the buttons across the top of the preview pane.
(b) click the x on the redundant navigation toolbar to remove from preview pane. (you can put all these buttons on the mail toolbar at the top of the whole window- click view, toolbars to show it).
(c) right click on one of the reply/forward etc icons at the top of the preview pane. Click customise. select icons only.
(d) resize the width of your preview pane to desired width, which can be quite narrow as long as it is wider than the toolbar (you'll see the scrollbar disappear when its too narrow).
Thanks!

'''re: Flowed text.'''
Very odd you do not auto have this as it is usually set as default.
check settings:
'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Advanced' > 'General' tab
Click on 'config Editor' button
it will tell you to be careful :)
In top search type: flow
look for the following line:
* mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support; Value = false
* If it says 'True', double click on the line to toggle 'True' to 'False'
If you send plain text and want it Flowed text then check this line as well
* mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed; Value = true
* If it says 'False', double click on the line to toggle 'False' to 'True'
Close config Editor window - top right X
click on OK to save changes to Options.

Best-practice for use of object styles to manage image text wrap issues when aiming at both print and EPUB output?

I have a work-flow question about object styles, text-wrap, and preparing a long document with lots of images for dual print/EPUB output in InDesign CC 2014.
I am sort of experienced with InDesign but new to EPUB export. I have hundreds of pages and hundreds of images so I'd like to make my EPUB learning curve, in particular, less painful.
Let me talk you through what I'm planning and you tell me if it's stupid.
It's kind of a storybook-look I'm going for. Single column of text (6" by 9" page) with lots of small-to-medium images on the page (one or two images per page), and the text flowing around, sometimes right, sometimes left. Sometimes around the bounding box, sometimes following the edges of the images. So in each case I'm looking to tweak image size and placement and wrap settings so that the image is as close to the relevant text as possible and the layout isn't all wonky. Lovely print page the goal. Lots of fussy trade-offs and deciding what looks best. Inevitably, this will entail local overrides of paragraph styles. So what I want to do, I guess, is get the images as closely placed as possible, before I do any of that overriding. Then I divide my production line.
1) I set aside the uniformly-styled doc for later EPUB export. (This is wise, right? Start for EPUB export with a doc with pristine styles?)
2) With the EPUB-bound version set aside, I finish preparing the print side, making all my little tweaks. So many pages, so many images. So many little nudges. If I go back and nudge something at the beginning everything shifts a little. It's broken up into lots of separate stories, but still ... there is no way to make this non-tedious. But what is best practice? I'm basically just doing it by hand, eyeballing it and dropping an inline anchor to some close bit of text in case of some storm, i.e. if there's a major text change my image will still be almost where it belongs. Try to get the early bits right so that I don't have to go back and change them and then mess up stuff later. Object styles don't really help me with that. Do they? I haven't found a good use for them at this stage (Obviously if I had to draw a pink line around each image, or whatever, I'd use object styles for that.)
Now let me shift back to EPUB. Clearly I need object styles to prepare for export. I'm planning to make a left float style and a right float style and a couple of others for other cases. And I'm basically going to go through the whole doc selecting each image and styling it in whatever way seems likeliest. At this point I will change the inline anchors to above line or custom, since I'm told EPUB doesn't like the inline ones.
I guess maybe it comes down to this. I realize I have to use object styles for images for EPUB, but for print, manual placement - to make it look just right - and an inline anchor seems best? I sort of feel like if I'm going to bother to use object styles for EPUB I should also use them for print, but maybe that's just not necessary? It feels inefficient to make so many inline anchors and then trade them for a custom thing just for EPUB. But two different outputs means two different workflows. Sometimes you just have to do it twice.
Does this make sense? What am I missing, before I waste dozens of hours doing it wrong?

I've moved your question to the InDesign EPUB forum for best results.

Text wrap around an achored object

I'm continually frustrated by a text wrap issue around an achored object in a story. I have two anchored textframes that are taking up the top half of a text frame, one of them has a full column text wrap applied to it which forces the first title of the regular text to begin beneath it. My issue is that sometimes this title falls too close to the anchored text frames but if I add space to the bottom of the text wrap, the title does not snug to the text wrap but will stay tight until the wrap adjustment invades the cap height and then it will suddenly jump way down what looks like the full line height of the style, creating way too much of a gap. I can't seem to get a clean even space between my anchored textframe and the first line of text. I'm doing hundreds of files with this set up and they are looking different because the anchored text frames are all different sizes and I can't get that space between them and the first title to be uniform. I'm sure I'm missing an option somewhere, but I can't figure out what it is. I want the first line of text to snug up to the edge of the text wrap, and it just won't do it. I've looked through all my style options and can't figure out what I'm missing. "Align to grid" is set to "None," and "Start Paragraph" is set to "Anywhere."
I'm really confused by this. Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong or if I've run up against a limitation in the application?
I'm using CS5 on a Mac 10.5.8

Sorry Grant,
Your "solution" does not work in this instance. The boxes you see in my image are the first things on that page. The anchor paragraphs are set to start in a new column so that they purposely start a new page. The story starts 3 pages before this and you can't have anchored objects more than a spread away from their anchors, so your solution simply does not work. I would have to break my lesson into multiple stories, which is the very thing I'm trying not to do to keep my workflow efficient.
It looks like it is a limitation of ID's anchored object workflow (which has never been ideal, but I'm trying to work with it). Unfortunately, tables are also not a safe solution because long tables used together with span/split column features cause ID to crash (predictably)--as far as I can tell, Adobe doesn't appear to be interested in fixing this bug. I've learned the hardway not to combine them in any workflow unless I want to restart ID multiple times a day.
In case you are wondering, this complicated workflow resulted from a shortcoming in ID anyway. I have to place the text in table cells so that I can use the SIde Heads plugin to pull them automatically into anchored objects. I have to anchor them into floating objects to get the rounded corners on background squares that is BEHIND the text. I could do it as tables in the flow of text if I could create anchored backgrounds with rounded corners that floated behind the tables, but unfortunately, ID will not let you change the stacking order of anchored objects--they always float in front and there is no option to push them behind--and tables are uniformly square and boring. I tried several times to create an easily automatable workflow for this project, and complicated as it is, this is the only one that actually works.
I will have to manually adjust the paragraph spacing and leading. That seems to be only adjustment that gives me the fine control that I want. I just wish it were consistent from document to document so I could set it in the style and not have to eyeball everything.

Wrapping and auto-shrinking text in a text box??

Hi -I'm new to using Pages and have a question that I couldn't track down the answer to in the Pages manual. When I am using a text box, I want to automatically have the text wrap and shrink. I can't resize the text box larger because of the newsletter layout. I could do this easily in Word when I work with a text box but can't figure out to do it here. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I can't picture what you're trying to do. I understand not resizing the text box, but what is it that you want to wrap & what to shrink?
I think you might be asking how to make the text you've put in the text box to fit the space available. You can "play" with the various adjustments in the text inspector. I find adjusting the line spacing by 0.1 & the character spacing by 1-2% can really make a difference without affecting the readability. Also, you can turn hyphenation on & off in the document inspector. One more thing to try is a different font.
Wrapping of text around the text box or any object is controlled in the wrap inspector. The object must be floating for text to wrap around it.

Saving in Acrobat 9 and Opening file in Acrobat 8... text wrap does not work

I work with a client who has Acrobat 8, I use Acrobat 9. I am saving a pdf that has form fields that need to wrap text and scroll. They have the properties of "multi-line" and "scroll text" already checked, and when I test it on my computer, the text wraps and scrolls, as it should. However, when my client tries to type inside the form field, the text will not wrap, even though it is wrapping on my version of acrobat. How can I get the text to wrap on my client's version (8)?

Do you know of any solutions to my problem? To clarify, my client uses Windows XP Professional, Adobe 8 and Internet Explorer 7

JTextArea as ListCellRenderer in JPanel with JSplitPane and text wrapping

Hi.
I have problem with JTextArea text wrapping. The JTextArea is used as ListCellRenderer in JList and it has set:
textArea.setLineWrap(true);
textArea.setWrapStyleWord(true);I can dynamically add new Notes, modify and remove notes on JList. The capacity of the Text is various so the size of cells is various.
The JList is in JScrollPane configured like this:
JList notesList = new JList();
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(
                    JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS,
                    JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER
scrollPane.setViewportView(notesList);This scrollPane is put on the left component in the JSplitPane.
When I put one note with any capacity I want, word wrapping works great even if I move the splitter. The size of cells in JList changes as I want. When JList has more width the cells have less height, when JList has less width the cells height grows because of text wrapping.
Problem
Sometimes and I don't know when and why the cells size is fixed.
I put new note to the list, JList lays the cell, calculate the size and disply it. It is good but when I move splitter the size of the cell is the same. It seems that during moving the splitter the JTextArea doesn't calculate their size.
I would like in every cell in JList to see whole text wrapped. When I make more width by slider I would like to see whole text with less number of rows. When I make less width with the slider I want to see whole text wrapped and more higher cells.
Can someone help me where to looking for ideas.

Text Wrap not working in Muse (CC 2014)

I'm attempting to wrap text around a slideshow. I have already inserted the slideshow in the text box, used the wrapping options to justify to the left, with the text running to the right and beneath the slideshow. In the design layout, it shows up perfectly. However, in the preview tab as well as previewing on the web, the wrapping does not show. The slideshow simply appears over the text, with the text running behind the slideshow. Any ideas on how to fix this problem or is it simply a bug that Adobe needs to eventually correct? Thanks for your help!
All my best,
Rob

Hard to tell from the screenshots. A couple nuances of text wrap that may be unexpected:
1) If you select an item with text wrap and move it up or down in Design view, that will move the item but will not change the area that is knocked out for text wrap purposes. Thus text can overlap on object that has text wrap applied if the item has been moved up or down while in the text flow.
2) Where an object is inserted in a flow is important. Generally it will provide the most predictable behavior if the graphic is inserted at the very start of a paragraph. If a graphic is inserted in the middle of a paragraph and text wrap is applied, exactly where the graphic will appear will be dependent on how the browser line breaks the text of the paragraph before where the graphic was inserted. A change in line breaks can result in the graphic appearing a line higher or lower in one browser versus another, since every browser has it's own text layout engine.
Assuming neither of the 2 points above fit what you're seeing, it's probably most expedient to send us the .muse file along with a link to this thread for context at [email protected] and a note to let us know where to find the problem situation within the file so we can see the exact situation and settings for what you're encountering. If the file is larger than 20Mb you'll want to send it using a service such as Adobe Send, WeTransfer, Dropbox, etc. Thanks.

How do you adjust the offset of a text wrap?

I'm trying to adjust the offset of the text wrap and the Indesign help I found just says to specify it. But WHERE? I see the text wrap options on my tool bar but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding place to change the offset distances.

I finally found a way. You can go to Window and open the Text Wrap Dialoge Window. It can then be anchored to the side with your other special effects windows and you can make adjustments there.

Caption under text wrapped image

I would like to place an image into a text block, apply text wrap and add a caption under the image. CS5, Mac.

Pardon my ignorance. This is my first time here. The question is how do I do it?
I place my image, add text wrap with enough space for a caption at the bottom. I type the caption as a separate text block and drag it into the open space where it just disappears. It used to work in CS2 but doesn't in CS5.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

When importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?

when importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?

Then use a Layout template.
I am a designer and I use Word Processing templates with layout breaks and all the other tools available because Layout templates are just WP templates with a lot of options removed.
Pages is not Indesign, but then Indesign is not Pages, …and Pages 5 is not Pages '09.
Unless your flyers are for the Web, why are you using Pages at all?
I am curious, what does your post have to do with the O.P.'s question? …and why are you posting it here?
