Text shifts down when overtyping

I'm in an office with 2 Macs with Indesign.
When typing over text (i.e. replacing a name on a business card) on one, the text is bumped down slightly. On the other terminal, this doesn't happen.
I assume that there will be a box to tick or untick, but so far I cannot work out where.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Regards
Ben

If the same file behaves differently on two different systems, I suspect a display anomalie. I saw something similar just yesterday with a business card I did in CS3. When defining and applying a style based on the formatting for the text, the text shifted very slightly on the screen, but there was no change in the specifications for the type.
It's possible, of course, that both you and I are seeing a case where the hidden paragraph break at the end of the paragraph has different specifications than the rest of the text (can happen when highlighting and applying local formatting), but that would affect the file in general and should be apparent wherever you do the editing.

  • Vertically-aligned tables shift down when entering/editing text within the table.

    Hi all,
    We have a sudden problem that is occurring, and I've done a lot of searching without finding anything close to this happening elsewhere.
    If there is ever a table that is aligned vertically within a text frame, you cannot edit the text without having it shift down one line break for every letter you type, until it's bottom-aligned within the frame. You can then click "align center", and it will re-align itself. Then, if/when you need to change even one letter again inside the table, it will shift down one line.
    We've tested it with two different docs on both Mac and PC, with the same problem. I've cleared my prefs on the Mac to see if that would make a difference, and it hasn't done anything.
    Any thoughts here? I can't recall anything that would have changed since this started happening, but it won't leave us alone now!
    Thanks!!

    Very interesting. I do lots of tables but don't vertically justify so I have never run into this. However I can confirm this behavior on a new clean test page I made, using InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) on Mac OS 10.6.6. I have no other problems with InDesign; it is running flawlessly. And no weird plug-ins or system hack software.
    My test file uses my default font (Adobe Minion Pro) and the default table (Insert > Table).
    It also shifts down when I delete a character in a cell. And the shift for me is more than one carriage return. I can get it back to center-aligned by top aligning and then choosing center align again.

  • How do you get the rest of the form to shift down when a field grows in a subform

    I am using ES2, I am trying to get a form to shift down when a field grows in a subform, and nothing I tries works.  I am not an expert in this area, but all the help I have tried on-line does not seem to workI would be more than happy to email the form to anyone that could give me some assistance.  I have already spent too much time on this project, and if I cant get it to work, I will have to move back to a simple word form without all the fancey bells and whistles, but I hate to move backwards.  Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kathy

    Thank you so much, I tried to duplicate the form from Assure and something is still wrong.  The background of the subform is not light green, I am not sure if the color was for display purpose only, but it still did not flow right either.  I was unable to find the option in the testfield to "Display all of the content (on exit).  I am also getting an warning note: The object may not work properly. Although the object is allowed to break, deselecting the "allow page breaks within content" option of the parent object restricts this object from breaking between pages.    Here is the settings as they are currently set:

  • ToolTip triggers are shifting down when previewing or exporting

    I have a page with two columns of text (lists of names). In "design" I set up triggers over each name corresponding to a pop-up tooltip with a picture and bio. Everything looks great in "design." When I preview the page within Muse or export HTML to test outside of Muse, the triggers are all shifted down below the text columns.
    I have tried changing the widget from ToolTip to Lightbox, changing the position and clicked and unclicked every option within the composition settings pop-up.
    What am I missing?!?

    I figured it out. I had "footer item" checked.

  • In fullscreen mode, is there a way to prevent the page from shifting down when displaying the menu and tabs?

    In fullscreen mode (F11), when moving the mouse toward the top of the screen to display the tabs & stuff, the page displayed is shifted down. This makes it annoying when returning down with the mouse - you want to reach a certain link, for example, but your target gets shifted up once the tabs & stuff is hidden back.
    Is there any way to make the tabs & stuff display 'above' the page content, like on another layer?

    Is it the web page display that is changing its own position, or is it something
    about the toolbars that is pushing the page down? I have the same issue with
    my browser using an add-on to show a multiple line bookmark bar.

  • Text shifts down

    This happens to everything now- including templates I download online presumably made by people who know what they're doing. Text always shifts down as in the screenshots:
    Design - http://i.imgur.com/37pBUq8.png
    Preview - http://i.imgur.com/AqUUOQo.png
    and this started happening randomly, before the text displayed properly in the same exact files without any changes that I'm aware of.

    Hello,
    Please make sure that those text boxes or the Group of text boxes are not marked as footer Items.
    To check this you can select the text box and make sure the check box for Footer is " unchecked". This could be issue with pinning as well.
    Look at the screenshot.
    If this is not the case then share the file with us to take a look at it.

  • Is there a way to stop the text shifting between mac and pc?

    I can't believe there is still no fix to the vertical text shift issue when transferring fla's between Mac and PC's. Create an fla on a Mac put some text in it, save the file and open it on a PC and see how the text has dropped.
    Adobe please tell me I'm missing something here or at least acknowledge the problem and explain the cause.
    This problem has plagued flash for as long as I can remember. None of the other applications (Photoshop, Illustrator etc) have this problem. It wastes huge amounts of time and causes massive quality control issues especially when outsourcing work.
    We're using CS3 now and the problem is as bad as ever. It happens with all text fields and all font types.
    Please help.

    Don't get your hopes up that anyone from Adobe will see your posting.  These are user to user forums and appearances by anyone from Adobe are rare.

  • Running iOS 8 on iPhone 6 Screen shifts down

    My entire screen shifts down when I have my finger placed on the home button. Maybe itouch reads my finger print and the screen shifts down. It doesn't happen often. It's random. So far it has happened on the home screen, while I'm using Twitter, and line or viewing photos in the photo app. So it doesn't seem to be an app issue. It usually happens when I'm about to press the home button. Or maybe I have already pressed it.

    No, that is the Reachability feature so you can reach the top portion of the screen without moving your finger. You might want to take a look at the User Guide to check on other features you might not be aware of. http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • Text shifting out of alignment when previewed in Muse or in web browser

    Hi,
    I am having issues with some title text not staying where I want it to. Here are some images: http://imgur.com/a/ZX6z9
    The first image shows how I have the page set up in the planner. The text in question is the title "Art Portfolio". If you look at the other two images, the second one being Muse's preview function and the third being in Safari, you will see that the title has shifted down a little in relation to the rest of the site. It is easily noticed because it throws the title out of alignment with the menu.
    Anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue? I can compensate by moving it a bit higher in the planner, but I would very much prefer that the software worked as intended rather than me having to intervene.
    Thanks for any help!
    Andrew Bennett

    Hi Thrfoot,
    I have a similar text issue with resizing occurring in preview and live mode. I believe text boxes (unlike web pages) are responsive to browser width. Just for grins, try keeping your Orbitron font and making the text box slightly wider and see if that helps. It may not, but I had to jiggle mine about quite a bit to keep it in line with everything else.
    Cheers,

  • Text is broken when scanning UP the page; but good scanning down the page; why?

    Text is broken when scanning UP the page; but okay scanning down the page. The text looks like a shot gun has been fired through it. It used to be good both ways until the last update. This is not a problem in any other program including Internet Explorer. I have an image to show you but there is no link here to attach.
    After clicking Allow I got ..........The add-on could not be downloaded because of a fault at the support site.

    Try to create a new Boolean pref on the about:config page via the right-click context menu with the name layout.paint_rects_separately and set the value to true and leave hardware acceleration enabled.

  • Blog text box shifts down

    My blog entry pages do not diaplay correctly.  The text box shifts down, leaving the browser background at top.  I'm using "white" iweb template.  Other pages display OK.

    It was not selected to begin with. I tried adjusting the file with and without that feature selected and the result was the same. They still shifted. Could it be something else?
