Text Wrap Options have Disappeared ID CS4

All the icons in my Text Wrap window have disappeared. The tab/pallet is still there, but empty. The pop out still lists “Show Options” and “Apply to Master Page Only” are still there, but grayed out. Thanks in advance for any help!!

Yipee.
Should have remembered that one.
Thanks for the help!

Text wrap options have disappeared

Dear All,
The options in the Text wrap panel have suddenly disappeared and the "show options" selection is completely greyed out...Text Wrap is completely blank. I'm working with Adobe InDesign CC. Any suggestions? The options were there yesterday, but gone today!

Doesn't sound like it's the right folder. You need to be in your user library, ~/library/ or hard drive/<your user name>/library/. I'm not a Mac user so I can't really guide you through the steps to get there beyond what's in the help tpoic and the tread information in the prefs post. You need to be very careful reading the path information -- there are very similar, but different paths listed for the two files.

Text Wrap options not showing in InDesign CS3

Using InDesign CS3 on a Mac 10.4. I've had this problem for a couple of months now and it's getting past the point of annoying. When I open my text wrap options pallete it's blank even when I expand options. I can see the text wrap icons in my header panel, but I no longer have options to change the right/left/top/bottom margins. Just a general "add wrap" and "remove wrap". Is there any way I can get my pallete back? I've tried defaulting my tools, but still it does not show up. I don't know what to do to get it back.

Did you try resetting preferences? While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. If you don't get the message about deleting preferences, you weren't fast enough.

Text wrap options are greyed out

Hi,
I am trying to create a "drop cap" by selecting a text box and changing the wrap options in the inspector however, the "object placement" options to wrap the text are greyed out and I can not change them, except for the options below, such as "object causes to wrap" check box and the "text fit" boxes.
Is this a glitch? I have restarted both my program and whole computer, as well as tried it in a new document, and it still is coming up greyed out.
HELP, I have a project due and I need to be able to add in drop caps!
Thanks

Hi Architecture Guy
Welcome to the forum.

Text Wrap Feature Suddenly Disappeared

I've been using InDesign for years and years. I currently have CS5. Suddenly, the text wrap feature was completely missing from InDesign. This feature was always something that I used almost on a daily basis- suddenly it jsut disappeared! I tried several things to make it come back, including the simple keyboard shortcut, but nothing worked. I talked to someone with Adobe and after they gave me several things to do in InDesign which didn't help bring the feature back, they said that they think that the text wrap feature's file must have gotten damaged somehow and I should uninstall and reinstall indesign. This is on my work computer and my company bought me the creative suite years ago, and i'm not sure where all the license info and all that is.
So my question is, does anyone else know a solution to this problem? Or do you think my best bet is to just uninstall and reinstall it? And will i have any issues doing this, since I don't have any of the serial numbers or anything from the original purchase? Thanks SO much for your help!

They had me delete the english preferences file (it's explained in the link that Salah Fadlabi provided in the first post.) I'll try to create a new user on the computer real fast. This is for my work computer (I use InDesign almost every day to create marketing materials) and I'm leaving work in 40 minutes. I'll try to do this real fast and then report back here. Thanks for your help

Report (Word type) text wrap options

Hi all:
I am using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW 8.5 and creating a report in MS Word. I have the report looking good, but it is really more of a starting point for the user, so I want to make their use of the file in MS Word easier by making a change that I have not been able to make. I include some graphs using the "Append Control Image" VI, but they are set to "Inline with Text" style text wrapping (a Layout option in MS Word). I would like them to be "Square" text wrapping. I have not been able to find anything in the RGT or any ActiveX property that even addresses this feature. Does anybody know how to do this in LabVIEW?
bj

Hi BJ,
I've looked through the VIs for Report Generation and I think your best option may be to set up a template for your report. With a template, you can have all of the formatting taken care of beforehand and then simply insert whatever elements you want from LabVIEW. Hope this helps!

Text wrap option not working..

Lately I have not been able to use the Text Wrap function in CS3. I feel like it's worked up until recently, but now when I open the Text Wrap window there are no options listed - it's just a blank gray box. When I click on the dropdown menu on the top right, the only two grayed-out options are "Show Options" and "Apply to Master Page Only".
I tried selecting an object first to create the text wrap, selecting the text box, rearranging the objects, but nothing appears.
Any idea why this might be happening or what I am doing wrong?

Text Wrap option not showing up

I am trying to text wrap, but the option is not available in
Windows>text wrap.
Am I missing something?

Do you mean warp text?
With the type tool selected look at the tool options bar.
You can also get the same warp options for non text layers under Edit>Transform>Warp.
If you want the text options other than what's in the tool options bar:
Window>Character and Window>Paragraph

Why does the text size option have no effect?

Hi, text is really small. When going through display option settings and enlarging the text using the A button it has no effect on actual pages. The text is still tiny. I have tried downloading 'no small text' but get the message that it's incompatible. Is there a solution? Thanks.
I have version 29.

It's unclear but that desktop font sizing change only affects "certain desktop optimized websites". It's really misleading.
There is no way to adjust font sizing on mobile optimized websites which I assume you're trying to adjust.

How do I recall old text messages that have disappeared from my phone?

I want to recall a text message which pre-dates the text messages existing on my Samsung S5? I presume that all text messages are held by EE for a certain period of time, and I would like to know how to recall a particular one.

Unless under settings you have made sure that they are backed up, then you will not be able to get them back. Have you checked the settings for messages? I know this is possible with the Lumia phones, but no idea with Samsung.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Text Wrap disappeared in ID CS5

Using InDesign CS5, recently the text wrap option entirely disappeared from the tools menu, as did any response to using a keyboard combination to make the dialog box appear. Also, reloading the program from the disks fails due to "too many errors." Using Windows 7 pro. Help!

What is preventing you from doing the reinstall?
You should know, though, that it won't replace the prefs unless you specifically choose to do so during the uninstall operation.

Text wrap not working properly CS4

Despite trying numerous times over last few days, reviewing multiple tutorials to make sure I know what I'm doing, I simply cannot get the text wrap options to work properly. In SOME instances (not all ... why?!?) I can select text wrap, but when I try to make further adjustments (wider margin or switch to object wrap, for instance), it simply does not allow selection. The choices once I'm in the text wrap box are grayed out (margins, contour box, etc) as not available. WHAT is going on?! Do I have defective software? Is it me? I've even reinstalled the whole CS4. <aarrggh> I am SO frustrated!

Things like this are almost always attributable to user error.
If you're new to InDesign I'd suggest investing in Sandee Cohen's Visual Quick Start Guide: http://amzn.to/ggnCUx
More details, screenshots, etc would help us, though.

Formatting options with text wrap

We are running BPC MS v10 and gave users the ability to enter comments with our input forms this year. I am pulling the comments into a summary report using a local member which works fine. The problem is I want to format these cells and use left alignment with word wrap enabled in order to view the full comment in each cell. When I select any of the cells in the comment column the alignment and text wrap options are both "selected" in the Excel ribbon but it is not wrapping the comments onto the next line. I have to uncheck the wrap text option in the ribbon and reselect before it will actually wrap to the next line.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Not trivial, but you could Select All, Copy to get the entire imported document onto the Clipboard. Then open a New Pages Word Processing document and then Edit > Paste and Match Style. The new document will match the defaults in the template. If you find that you will be doing this often, make a custom template for this use.
