Rtf baseline shift control

I have setup a specific baseline in a form text field with placeholder text. It seems that the richt text data is linked to the text because when I erase all text and write something new the baseline shift is reset to 0.
What are my possibilities, I need a baseline shift all times, can I run a script that enables a certain baseline shift on all my fields?
I use rich text format.
thanks

Are you usually using a pc? Holding down the control key on a mac and clicking pops up the right-click menu in all software, it's a system wide convention (and a relic from the days Apple insisted that users should only be using a single mouse button).
To get the result you are probably looking for, i.e., overrriding a master page item, hold down *Command* and shift on the Mac.

Baseline Shift?

Is it possible to apply a baseline shift? I am trying to reduce a registered trademark and a rather large headline and need to bump the baseline of the mark up so it aligns properly.

Hi,
Baseline shift as a character-level text attribute is not yet supported.
You can only shift inline page items (e.g., images pasted inside text frames) relative to the baseline by moving them with the mouse, nudging them with arrow keys, or using the "Y" transform controls.

In Dreamweaver CC code view, how do I reenable shift-control+arrow keys to select words?

In previous versions of Dreamweaver (for Windows but presumably for other operating systems as well) and in pretty much any other text editor (except maybe for vi/m but including the one I'm using to write this message in now). I can select characters using shift plus the arrow keys and select words by pressing shift-control plus the arrow keys. It seems you now have to use shift-alt to select words. I don't want to have to undo about 25 years of habit just for Dreamweaver.
Please say this is an easy setting I can uncheck somewhere! Thanks!

That is an issue that has come up a lot lately...
Make sure to add your voice to the others here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform and hopefully in the next release they'll put it back to normal.

Is the ability to center an inline object with a baseline shift gone in Pages 5.0?

In the previous versions of pages I was able to center an inline object such as an imported equation with a baseline shift. I cannot find this in pages 5.0.
It is gone?

HT1343 On my 4 1/2 year old Macbook I could select multiple files by highlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro. What am I doing wrong?

ghlighting a file and then moving cursor over a file lower in the list, and pressing shift-control-click. I can't do that in now with Mac Pro. What am I doing wrong?

Holding down the control key will invoke "right-click."
Depending on the View, holding down Shift will with either toggle the selection (Icon View), or it will make a continuous selection from the previous selection (List View or Column View).
The only way to make a continuous selection in Icon View is to drag out a selection marquee around or through the icons.
I can't remember the behavior of previous OS's.

Photoshop CS5 - changes in "baseline shift"

When opening old Photoshop CS2 projects in Photoshop CS5, everything looks as it did before. But for about 75% of the text, the "baseline shift" field now has a value other than zero. It seems like I will need to set my "baseline shift" of the affected text back to zero then reposition the text. I would just prefer the "baseline shift" to be set to zero, as I am know I did not adjust this value.
Is it possible that the "baseline shift" value is something other than zero for certain fonts and I just never noticed that the value was not zero before? Or is this an issue of opening a CS2 Photoshop project in CS5?
Thanks,
Angela

Hunt,
I did some more investigating. First, can you let me know in Photoshop CS2 if the "baseline shift" value is automatically set to zero when inserting text? Or, if some fonts have the "baseline shift" automatically set to zero while others are automatically set to a non-zero value?
For my issue, it looks like the value of the baseline shift is directly related to the resolution of the project. For both TTF and OTF fonts, the following was found:
1. For projects with resolution of 72 pixels/inch (my DVD menus which have D1/DV NTSC aspect ratio setting), text has a baseline shift of -3.27pt
2. For projects with resolution of 150 pixesl/inch (my CD and DVD labels), text has a baseline shift of -8.33pt
3. For projects with resolution of 500 pixels/inch (my DVD cases), text has a baseline shift of -2.5pt
The only exception is the text created on a circular path. The baseline shift of this text was always zero.
Is this works-as-designed and something I just did not notice before? Or is this something that happened as a result of opening a CS2 Photoshop project in CS5?
Thanks so much,
Angela

[AS CS3] Another MathType Baseline Shift Question

Hi Guys,
I am using the below script to place MathType Equations into an InDesign File
Basically it searches for tags <<Filename.eps>> and replaces it with a inline graphic.
My question is:
Is there anyway I can get it to read the height of the InLine Graphic Box and then get it to baseline shift so it's centered height wise on the line, instead of the set amount of -10pt that is uses now?
We have to open the MathType Equations in Illustrator to change font and colour to Pantone etc, so they are save back as Illustrator EPS's
Below is the Script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
set baselineVar to "Yes"
set countVar to 0
set imageCount to 0
set docPath to file path as alias
tell application "Finder"
set imageFolder to folder (choose folder with prompt "Please choose the folder containing the appropriate MathType files") --"MathType" of artFolder
end tell
activate
set allStories to stories
repeat with s from 1 to count of items of allStories
set theStory to item s of allStories
if class of theStory is story then
set theLim to count of words of theStory
try
repeat with i from 1 to theLim
if word i of theStory contains "<<" then
set theText to contents of word i of theStory as Unicode text
set theOffset to (offset of "<<" in theText)
set endOffset to (offset of ">>" in theText)
set imageName to characters (theOffset + 2) through (endOffset - 1) of theText as string
set imageFolderPath to ((imageFolder as string) & imageName)
set wholeTag to characters theOffset through (endOffset + 1) of theText as string
if baselineVar = "Yes" then
set baseline shift of characters theOffset through (endOffset + 1) of word i of theStory to -10.2
end if
delete characters theOffset through (endOffset) of word i of theStory
tell theStory
tell word i
tell character theOffset
place imageFolderPath as alias
set countVar to (countVar + 1)
end tell
end tell
end tell
end if
end repeat
end try
end if
end repeat
end tell
activate
if countVar = 0 then
display dialog "No Images were found" buttons "OK" default button 1 with icon 2
else if countVar = 1 then
display dialog "1 lonely Images has been placed." buttons "OK" default button 1
else
display dialog (countVar as string) & " Images have been placed." buttons "OK" default button 1
end if
end tell
Thanks

The place command will return a list containing a reference to the placed image. You can then get the bounds of its parent, compare them with the baseline, and change them accordingly. -- Shane Stanley <[email protected]> AppleScript Pro Florida, April 2009 <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>

Press power button once - MBP goes to sleep, Shift-Control-Media Eject (⏏) doesn't.

Hello, i've read here http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20131025154203251 and somewhere else, that in Mavericks, pressing the Power Button once, puts your screen to sleep.
But after reading here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5869 seems that it doesn't.
I also noticed that by pressing it once, your mac goes to sleep, but not immediatly.
So is the only way to put only the screen to sleep is by using Shift-Control-Media Eject (⏏) ?
Thank you

@speleofool Thanks for posting and congratulations on the new device! The Nexus is a great phone! Regarding your issue about waking up, this is very odd for a new device. I did some research and it seems this is not a known issue with the phone. I would recommend doing the following steps:
Settings>Apps>Choose all Apps>choose System UI>clear data>force stop.
This will stop your screen from freezing and wake up when it should. I would make it a practice to clear data from apps that give you trouble. I hoped this helps. Thanks.

Eyedropper Shift/Control on curves RGB

The eyedropper tool using Shift/Control does not index on the curves adjustment in CS6.
It use to work for me in CS5.
Am I doing something wrong or have they changed the short cut keys?
Details:
I am portrait photography and I color correct by the numbers in CYMK via the Info pallet.
1-Use the Color Sample tool to drop a sampling spot.
2-Open Curves layer in RGB.
3-Grab Eyedropper Tool and use to Shift/Control Click to drop a pin on the R, G, B channels to adjust color with CS5.
Cannot get the eyedropper to index on any of the curve channels in CS6.
Any suggestions?

wmphotos is correct.
When you used the eyedropper tool in previous versions a shift-click will set a point on the photo. A control-click visualizes the point on the curves panel for the channel curve that is displayed. A control-shift-click establishes a point on all three channels of the curve (red, green and blue).
The control-click and control-shift-click do not set any points. Setting these points on the curve is the best way to correct color. This need to be fixed, or its a deal-breaker to me.

How to fix faux subscripts/superscripts made with baseline shifts

Hello all.
There is a script on the forums used to convert locally formatted styles to character styles – Preserve Local Formatting script and CS4
It is a brilliant script, but as I have unexpectedly found out (and would have found out if I read the post in more detail) is that any "faked" sub/superscripts created with baseline shifts won't work. To quote the other thread:
The script searches for attributes such as "superscript", "subscript", "small capitals". If small caps are faked in the document with capitals in a smaller font, the script will not find them. If superscript or subscript are faked in the document with a smaller font size and some baseline shift, the script will not find them.
Initially I didn't think this would ever be a problem... I thought "who the hell would make a subscript or superscript like that? wouldn't they just click the subscript or superscript buttons?"... unfortunately, no!
I thought a solution would be to make a GREP that could be added to a findchangebylist script that ships with InDesign. First thing to do would be to create a GREP to look for any positive baseline shift and change it to superscript; and a GREP to search for any negative baseline shift and change it to a subscript. Sounds simple... until I tried to implement it, as the dialog won't take a + or - by itself... it has to be a proper value.
Has anyone else faced this issue, and if so, what was the solution/outcome?
Colin

@Rob: Perhaps I should have given some background for what I was trying to do.
I have a client who is importing dozens of pages of simple chemical equations from microsoft word and it is in the word file that the baseline shift method of creating subs/supers was done. What my client wanted to do was import the text without losing important appearance details such as this, and bolds/italics, but then be able to assign his own paragraph styles without faux sub/supers returning to a regular style. My procedure to the client was to:
Import said word file into indesign file that contains appropriate paragraph/character styles to be applied;
Run the default "findchangebylist.jsx" to remove any double spaces, tabs etc.
Run a modification of Jongware's "preptext" script that will apply to all text frames rather than the current text frame.
This was working well until we both noticed H2SO4 did not have the numbers as subs, even though the word file clearly did. Closer inspection on the word file showed that the subscript button was not toggled, but the baseline shift had been, hence why the preptext script had missed a key piece of formatting.
With the preptext script, items that had subscript and superscript locally applied to the text would now be assigned "Sub" and "Super" character styles, and from there I agree - the more discerning typesetter could to into the character style and make the apperance of the said subs/supers more appealing. I believe a way of using the opentype subs/supers would be to replace the words SUBSCRIPT and SUPERSCRIPT in the said script to be OT_SUBSCRIPT or OT_SUPERSCRIPT respectively, provided an opentype font was being used for the formatting.
So in this instance, this script serves a rather specific purpose of fixing this particular document, rather than being applicable on a wider scale.
It is also important for anyone working with epubs to note that subs/supers made with baseline shifts (whether applied as character styles or not) will not appear in the resulting epub. Subs/supers made with the subscript/superscript buttons (again, whether applied as a character style or not) will appear in a resulting epub, so this is another consideration (I don't know if this is true if a customised CSS has been applied, but for straight export to epub from InDesign, it appears to be the case). This can be said for other forms of faux styles, such as skewing type to make a faux italic.
@Peter: I agree, there isn't a perfect solution, but for the situation that I have, the script does what it is intended to do.
It should be noted for readers of this post that this script is specifically purpose-driven, and that I would not use this script if a document contained:
fractions made using baseline shifts;
character or paragraph formatting that used baseline shifts;

Shift-Control-F Does not hightlight text

In older versions of Acrobat Reader, using shift control F would open the search window. If you have already searched, then text would appear in the search window. If you want to search with a new keyword, just press shift control F again and the old text is highlighted so you can write over it. In version 8 and 9 you have to manually erase the text. It was much more efficient in the older version. Is there a preference that can be set. This is a big negative so I don't use the new versions. 99% of what I do is searching for text, so version 8 and 9 are not usable for me.

Baseline Shift Missing?

Hi,
I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Mac OS X 6.6 but can't seem to find the option to move certain text up or down. I tried the leading with no response so I tried looking for the baseline shift but can't find it in Illustrator. I keep summoning the character panel but still no option for it. I tried copy and paste text from InDesign but it keeps creating outlines. Does Illustrator not have a baseline shift property?

Use the flyout menu (small triangle, upper right of the Character panel) and choose Show Options. 4 more windows will appear, one of which is the baseline shift.

Every time i start my MacBook Air i get the spinning wheel and have to soft boot (shift, control, option, power) it three or four time s before it starts

Every time i start my MacBook Air i get the spinning wheel and have to soft boot (shift, control, option, power) it three or four time s before it starts. It has only been over the last week or so I also found Safari will not load up and tyou have too open then shut from the drop down then restart it to get a page, any help pleas?

Do this:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
     Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall
     Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
     Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                three times faster than wireless.

[T510] Keyboard combination Shift-Control-X not supported?

I think that on my T510 laptop the keyboard combination Shift-Control-X is unmanageable. When I press this keyboard combination before booting any operation system (i.e. after the bios start screen disappears) I get a system warning sound. I cannot use this keyboard combination in my operating system (Windows 7).
Other similar keyboard combinations are possible (e.g. Shift-Control-Y); there is no warning sound. There is no problem to use this combination in Windows 7.
I would like to use Shift-Control-X. Could it be supported by e.g. a Bios update or is it just not possible because of hardware restrictions?
Thorsten

That makes sense. What you are really asking is how you can program your T510 keys in various combinations. Such things are normally application specific. Have you tried here:
