Square rectangle move/float with text

Is it possible to have square rectangles move with the text (cut/paste too) instead of remaining in same place of page where drawn?
Thx

One word: "Anchored Objects"
Look in the Help here for a detailed explanation, or in short terms just select the rectangle, cut it, place your cursor in the text wheer you want it to go and paste it.

Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
--inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
or
--independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
thank you!

well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
now too but not enough functionality...

How can I move an image/file around inside a document with text already in it?

I'm learning In Design on the job, and it's a real challenge. One big problem I'm having is, after I've placed an image inside a document with text in it, how do I place it precisely where I want it? Sometimes I need the image flush to the left, and sometimes I need to center it. When I place it, it doesn't land where I need it to be. Things I've tried work sometimes but not other times. I've tried going to Paragraph and reducing the setting to zero to move an image flush to the left of the text frame/column (I'm working with a three-column page). Sometimes that works, and sometimes it does not. When it doesn't, I've tried using the Selection tool to drag the image, but it doesn't respond. Could someone give me an idea of what I'm overlooking? I'm finding that InDesign has many settings, and all it takes is for one setting to be what it shouldn't be for things to go badly wrong. I'm having other issues too, but in this discussion I'll stick to this.

Sounds like you are anchoring the images in the text flow. That's fine if you need them to move along with text during editing, but is usually not required and often counter productive. If you place your images as separate objects in their own independent frames they can be positioned anywhere and moved at will. If they need to be anchored, consider using Custom Positioned instead of inline.

How to Trim Rectangle with text to create reflection?

Hello Everyone,
I am realtively new to Illustrator and I am facing a problem that I am hoping some expert here can resolve. I have some text and I have converted it to outlines. Now I want to create shine on it. I want to fill a rectangle with white color and then clip it with text to give reflection effect but I can't figure out how to do it. I have selected my text and rectangle and tried all options in path finder tool but nothing seems to work. Please guide me how can this be done.
Regards,
Afraz Ali

Afraz Ali,
If you want to have the colour/colours/colour transition of the rectangle where the text is is nothing outside it, in other words colour the text with the colouring of the rectangle, you may:
Use Live Type over the rectangle, select both, and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.
With outlined type, you have to turn the lettershapes into a Compound Shape first.
As you can see, it is simpler to just use Live Type, and it is editable.

How to make tables move with text

In Pages '09 and Pages 5.0, tables that I set to move with text do not move with text. They overlap text. That is, the table and non-table text occupy the same space, which does not seem to be the intention behind "move with text". In Pages 5.0, I try to fix the problem by selecting a text wrap option such as "Above and below", since I do want text above my table and below my table and I want the table to move with the text when the text changes. But choosing "Above and below" automatically changes the object placement option from "Move with Text" to "Stay on Page", so the table does not move with the text. Re-choosing "Move with Text" once again makes the table and the text overlap, which renders the document unusable.
I have been frustrated with this behavior for years. I got around it in Pages '09 by using linked text boxes and putting tables outside the text boxes or by putting multi-page tables in their own text boxes without any other text. Since Pages 5.0 does not have linked text boxes, my old work-arounds are no longer possible.
I must be missing something simple here. What is it?
Thanks for any help.
Rick

If the Table is an inline object then it follows the rules of the text it is sitting in.
ie Line Spacing, Space Before and Space After.
The Line Spacing is the crucial specification. The Table should be in its own paragraph and have Line Spacing Multiple set, usually to 1, with before and after spacing to set it off from surrounding text.
Inline Objects are one case where you should use Multiple Line Spacing because they vary in size and it is best to let Pages work out what space to give them.

I need to know how to put a photo in a box with text under photo, so they all will move in page

I need to know how to put a photo in a box with text under it, so they move together in a page of text.

The Acrobat SDK might be a starting point.
From there, perhaps a plug-in (built with C+).
Perhaps with a licensed release of a PDF Library (this could be $$).
The viable and cost effective alternative is use the tried and true.
Authoring in an appropriate authoring application with appropriate tag management.
Example: Adobe InDesign; Adobe FrameMaker or MS Word with PDFMaker (comes with install of Acrobat).
This way you place "Alternative Text" when mastering content in the authoring file.
Going the route and with some look-see (research) you may find programmatic approaches to placing the alt txt in the authoring file.
Note: as discussed in the Matterhorn Protocols there is no programmatic method that provides a fully accessible PDF (specifically, that is an ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF).
Regardless, here you have a sub-forum for discussions on Acrobat usage.
Consequently discussions on/of 3rd party software is rather out of scope eh.
Be well...

I can't select "move with text" in object placement on Pages?

I just imported an image (command shift V) and somehow when I click on "move with text" it doesn't toggle anymore! It seems to be deactivated.
Could someone help me?

I just found out. The image was close to an end of session token.

Why are photos sent with text messsage square?

Recently all photos I send with text messages appear square. They are cut off at the top. When I view them in my photo stream they are rectangular. I do not use the square option on the camera.
The only way I have been able to fix the problem is to go to the photo I want to use, edit it and crop to a rectangular aperture. What a pain! Hope someone can help me with this. Please!
Thanks!!

Thanks for your response. I appreciate your suggestions.
The recipient gets the truncated version as well.
It's not the end of the world, but it does bug me that I can't figure out the cause.

Text put into a canvas element with context.fillText() always has a black box where each letter goes. If the text is black you just see the black rectangle. If the text is not black you see it on the black bounding box. Surely this is not right.

This has happened on the last few versions of firefox, as long as canvas has been supported. I see other people's screen shots from canvas tutorials, and the text always looks normal. On my system, any text put into a canvas element via context.fillText() will have a black bounding box for each letter, sized appropriately for the letter. If the text is black, of course you only see rectangles. If the text is a contrasting color, then you can read it, but it looks bizarre.

Thomas...same kind of crap here.
I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
Set to 72 pt.
The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
Using Transform will not sort it!

When I import or drag/drop an image from Finder into Pages, it floats the image instead of keeping it inline with text

I'm new to Pages and I've searched online for an answer to this question but haven't found anything quite what I need.
When I import an image from Finder (or drag and drop from Finder) into Pages, the Text Wrap default is "automatic" which seems to be "in front of text." I have to manually click each image and then change it from "Automatic" to "Inline With Text." Is there a way to change the default so it's not "Automatic" but "Inline With Text" to save me these steps for every single image I import?
(If importing from Media Browser would behave differently, I don't use iPhoto except for Photo Stream so I need to bring them in from where I've saved them in my Finder.)
Thanks so much for any help!

Good questions... I'll have to try and figure out when the problem first happened - I was thinking it was when I upgraded to Safari 5.1.4 but that might not be the case... I'll try your suggestions to see if any of them eliminate the problem (I have restarted recenlty and that didn't fix it) but I'll try repairing permissions,etc. Thanks!
hmmm... Mcbuffy: are you implying that you *don't* get the webloc when dragging an image out of Safari and that this isn't a caused by change to Safari but is a big/conflict in mine?

Problem with text resizing and moving

After much pain with this issue, I'm going to ask for help.
The whole issue(s) resolves around text upsizing, changing and moving in Muse.
No amount of grouping, layering and locking has stopped this issue for me.
I don't have divs that are a pixel off and whatnot. This happens even when I have a blank site and I test it (as seen in the example pic below).
The majority of the time, this is an issue when viewing Muse created sites on Android, although text does move when viewed on iOS.
Example 1:
I have a square div. I put text in the div that I want to stay contained in the div. Basic right?
View site on browsers and iOS devices it generally plays by the rules (although not always, there are some movement going on). When viewing this example text and div on an android device, the text resizes larger. This results in the text overlapping the div and moving EVERYTHING below it down. This makes it impossible to tightly design anything for a website.
I know Android has options within it for users to set text viewing size, but this worthless from a web designer standpoint. That is something I can't control.
Example 2:
I have 1 text field and set the typeface to 15. There is nothing else on the page, just a background image (under "Fill"). Viewed on browsers and iOS looks fine. When viewed on Android this text balloons to some enormous size (25+) that makes the website utterly useless. This random resizing makes it impossible to design to.
Example 2.5:
I take that same text from example 2, copy it into 2 of the same size text fields. They are placed next to each other, taking up the same width as Example 2. It now looks like 2 columns of text. Set the typeface to 15 again. I view it on Android and get the resizing issues from example 1 not example 2. It's noting to the extent of example 2 but like example 1, it still changes enough to ruins any design I'm trying to accomplish.
Is there any place in Muse to lock the text? I don't want to make the text into an image (obviously).
I been dealing with this in Muse for 6 months and haven't been able to find anything online or in forums about. I understand with the bevy of platforms out there nothing will look the same across the board, but right now I don't see how I can continue working with this issue.
Am I the only one dealing with this?
Thank you for any assistance.

Welcome to the annoying realities of working with text on websites... Nothing you describe is unique to Muse.
Every browser has it's own text engine and thus each line breaks text differently. Even the exact same web page on the same computer with the same fonts will sometimes result in different line breaks in different browsers, or even in different versions of the same browser. It's just a side effect of the nature of determining a line break, where even the most miniscule difference in calculations can result in an entire word fitting, or not fitting.
There are two "tools" that are especially important to understand and use effectively in order to create designs that work as effectively as possible with the variation in line breaks from one site viewer to the next.
Text Frame Height Always Matters
If a text frame is drawn to the exact height of the text wthin the frame, then any increase in the number of lines of text due to changes in line breaks will result in the text frame growing and other objects below the text frame being moved down.
If a text frame is drawn larger than the height of the text then when line breaks change the text frame won't grow unless the changes in line breaks are severe enough to result in the flowed text being taller than the text frame was originally drawn.
If you resize a text frame smaller than the text within the frame in Muse Design view, the frame will snap back to be large enough to accommodate the text, but a dotted horizontal line will appear within the text frame indicating the "minimum height" for the text frame. If line breaks change in the browser the text frame will grow or shrink in height down to the minimum height indicated by this dotted line.
Careful sizing of text frames can go a long way to creating a design that will continue to work well even when line breaks, and thus text frame heights change.
Grouping Has Consequences
As part of the output process, Muse collections the objects you've drawn into a hierarchy of horizontal groupings, vertical groupings, or stacks. When line breaks change in different browsers and text frames change height, when the text frames are located in this output heirarchy determines what impact the change in height has on other objects (if any).
For example, if you have a layout that looks like a 2x2 grid of text frames, by default Muse will interpret it to act as two colums. So if the first text frame gets taller it will push the text frame below it down, but won't impact the location of the two text frames in the second column.
If that's not the behavior you want, the way to tell Muse to treat things differently would be to group the two items in the first "row". This would cause the top to to be treated as a horizontal group. If anything in the group grows taller than the group, the group resizes taller and pushes the objects below it down. Thus if the top to items are grouped, if either one of them grows taller than the group it would push both the text frames below downward.
The 2x2 grid is just a simple example of the concept. In most cases you don't have to do anything special to get the behavior you want, but it is important to understand grouping has this ramification. Grouping an arbitrary set of objects on your page can result in undesired behavior when text frames resize in the browser.
For the Andriod screenshot you've provided, I don't have an immediate explanation. For us to explain what's shown we need to know the exact browser, browser version, Android version and device the screenshot is for. It would also be immensely helpful to have the URL for the page, so we can attempt to reproduce what you're seeing and view the exact code involved.

Creating a button with text in FlashCS5

I am fairly new with using FlashCS5. I just finished the class and created a button with text in it for class but now when I need to do it for a project I can't seem to get it to work.
I am trying to create a simple start and stop button to start and stop a Flash movie. I can get the buttons to work without any text, such as the word start and stop in the middle of each. Everything I've tried to do with the text on the button turns out the same.
What happens is that in Flash the buttons appear to work fine. The little hand with the finger shows no matter where I place my cursor on the button but when I test them the area where the text is does not allow the click to work. I have tried specifying a hit area and made sure that the hit area was larger than the entire button but still the middle where the text is doesn't work. Outside of the text area works fine.
Any ideas? I've spent 4 hours on this.

Thank you for the reply but what I am doing is much simpler. I am creating a gray rectangle and putting text in the center. I am then selecting both the rectangle and the text and converting it to a button. I am then editing the button from the library and adding a keyframe to the hit area, drawing a rectangle around the button to establish the hit area.
I am enabling simple buttons and when in Flash it appears fine. It is when I test that the area where the text is doesn't function as clickable.

Button wont work properly with text.

Hello,
I've been having a problem getting my buttons to work with
text.
What I'm doing:
1) I create a Circle graphic
2) I put some text over it (on the same layer)
3) I highlight the circle and the text and convert to symbol.
4) I then set the over, down, and hit states
When I turn on enable simple buttons it works perfectly on
the stage. But when I test the movie the text blocks the mouse
pointer from changing states. It'll change in-between the text, but
not over.
Any help would be appreciated.

Your text must be dynamic text rather than static text. Make
sure the text is not "selectable" and then it won't interfere with
the button. If you click on the text in the button, look down at
the bottom of the screen for the properties panel. You should see a
little Ab in a square. If it is highlighted, the text is
selectable. Click that Ab button to make it unselectable. If your
text is input text, then you are out of luck because input text, by
definition, is always selectable.
