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.

Can the text wrap tool options be reinstated?

I may have inadvertenly hit some keyboard code to remove the options, though I certainly don't remember doing so. There are no options displayed at all, only a box that can be checked or unchecked to use the text wrap on the master pages only. I have tried it both ways, and checked the master pages for possible boxes, but there is nothing. Has anyone else ever encountered this? I appreciate your help! Thanks so much -

What version of ID are you using? What OS?
Your description is a littel vague but it sounds like you've opened the Text Wrap panel flyout menu and all you see is the option to limit wrap on a master page object to other text on the master page. Is the panel itself blank?
If that's the case, see Replace Your Preferences

Text wrap with EPS graphic files

I'm using ID CS3 v5 with Mac OS Leopard 10.5.6.
I am trying to use the TEXTWRAP panel with an EPS graphic that has been imported into the text.
When I select the graphic and go to the text wrap panel none of the options are available to me - if I hover the cursor over any of the 5 options it changes to a NO ENTRY sign.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I too am trying to get various InLine (graphic) objects…
-- to flow with text (got it!), AND
-- have surrounding text wrap around them as they move (no luck so far).
It seems like this should be easy, but I too have failed to be able to figure it out.
I do know that objects that are NOT inline can easily have text flow around them, but I'm sure hoping that InLine objects can too.
Can anyone tell me (us) if InDesign can do what I'm/we're asking, and if so, HOW?
I'm using ID CS4 on a G5 iMac running Tiger.
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Every item I bring into InDesign is text wrapped automatically

Every photo I place, every text box I start, is already text wrapped. Somehow InD CS4 is automatically adding text wrap to every object. How do I shut this automated feature off? Many thanks in advance!

With nothing selected open the text wrap panel and turn it off. If that
doesn't do it, check your default object style.

Applying a text wrap

Well, I'm a newby (so appologies)... I've followed the steps to do a text wrap in the document I'm creating, but I don't see how to apply it once I've selected it in In Design.
Help...
Thanks in advance!

Text wrap panel?
I guess I did not include enough context: I'm using a Que tech manual and am
attempting to do some basic layout. I have created text frame and a graphic
frame I want the text to wrap around. I laid the text frame over the graphic
frame and then went to the window menu and clicked on text wrap... selected
bounding box, selected invert (all according to Que), but then what??? I do
not see an apply control or button that makes the text wrap. This is what
I'm confused about... what to do to make the text wrap.
Thanks!

Text wrap dialogue box is blank in CS3

I am not able to view the options in the text wrap dialogue box - why? I have restarted InDesign and my computer but there are no options showing in the dialogue box. I use text wrap all the time so this is a major problem for me. Thanks for your help!

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 issue:ShowDetaillItem chop-off in the PanelAccordion.

Issue: Text wrap issue in ShowDetailItem header. Tittle of the S+howDetaillItem+ chop-off does not display completely in the PanelAccordion.
I have a few texts that does not wrap in ShowDetailItem Header used for the panel accordion. I could not fix it after trying a few options like changing the css skin, and in the design property inspector.
Please suggest a way to fix this.

Thanks for your response.
Yes, we dont have enough room on the page.
I want the text to wrap and display in the second line as it has more no. of letters compared to the other texts available.
Please suggest me a way to get the text displayed the way I want it to be.
Thanks

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 disables vertical justification

Hi,
I am using InDesign CS3 5.0.4 on Windows XP Pro SP3.
I have the following problem: I have a text frame with vertical centrered text in it. Now when I put some object with text wrap near it, the vertical justification is just ignored (also blanked out in text frame options) and the text justifies at the top of the text frame. I think this is very annoying and I don't understand why this works the way it does. I remember this problem also ocurred in QuarkXPress but I hoped Adobe would do it better :)
I hope someone can explain this to me. Thanks.
Frank

How near is near? If the object is too close to the text for comfort it's going to need text wrap or there'll be a
collision. And vertical justification will be lost.
Does the object span the full depth of the text frame? If so, just ignore text wrap, narrow the text frame and take its
edge away from the object. If the object cuts into the text frame so some lines are wrapped and others are not, then the
vertical justification will be lost.
You could fiddle it by eye by breaking the text into three frames, with the text in the top frame aligned to the bottom,
the text in the middle and bottom frame aligned to the top. Then align the text in all the frames to the same baseline
grid (you can set a grid for each frame), and jiggle the depths appropriately.

At my wits end: Placing anchored object inline with text & wrap

Granted I never learned InDesign the way I should. Once upon a time I fared well with Aldus Pagemaker. But I've just spent the last two hours trying to resolve a massive gap in my knowledge and I can't do it. I'm exasperated and desperate for help.
What I want to do: I have a tech manual with lots of text and need to place graphic objects in a way that the text will wrap around the object and if I need to edit the text, the graphic will move with where I inserted the graphic.
What happens:
1. I have a text frame with text. I place the cursor at the beginning of the paragraph and click File> Place, thereafter choosing a graphic.
2. Using the selection tool, I click the graphic and then click the icon "wrap around bounding box".
3. The text shifts a teeny bit but does not wrap around the object.
4. Object is, however, inline/anchored, with text.
OR
1. With nothing selected I click File> Place, thereafter choosing a graphic.
2. I place the graphic on the lower part of the page over a blank space.
3. I move the graphic over the text and then click the icon "wrap around bounding box".
4. The text flows but when I edit the text, it does not flow around the graphic.
Conclusion:
I am retarded. I even went through Lynda's example here: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0073 I was able to place my object in her document and watch the text flow around the text wrapped graphic.
I read the help docs (I'm a big fan of reading).
The only thing I can think of is I've set my text box up wrong or I have no idea. I'm so frustrated I am seriously almost in tears.
My example document (I'm under an NDA and can't release my original document, but I duplicated what I've done in the previous one) is here for anyone who can tell me what I've done wrong. Thank you kindly.

Alrighty, this is bizarre. I couldn't leave well enough alone and I'm still trying to hammer this one out. But I just followed my first method described in the original message and then...
I clicked and dragged the edge of my graphic and the text began to flow around it and it moves with the text.
What on earth?
While I can do this for each image, I'd rather not. What am I still doing wrong, although I seem to have a half baked workaround.
Cheers.

Text wrapping buttons no longer appear in Pages 4.1

When a movable object is selected in Pages, the relevant toolbar appears. When the Text Wrapping button is clicked, however, the drop-down menu is blank:
I tried this in multiple documents and the same thing happened.
The text wrapping tools still work, but it is impossible to tell between them except through trial-and-error.
I just updated iWork to 9.1 (Pages 4.1) and that's when it started happening.
Is this just a glitch in the new version or can I do something to fix it? Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks for any help!
Cheer,

Apple removed colors from most of the system windows .
For instance, there is no longer color for the circular buttons at left top of windows
They didn't change the GUI in some applications. It seems that this apply to apps which must be able to run in Snow Leopard as well as in Lion.
Removing the colors in rev 9.1.0 would have introduced inconsistency in Snow Leopard in which iWork '09 will be 'frozen' soon.
Keeping them introduce an inconsistency in Lion but, as you know, I guess that next major version of iWork will be Lion only, I guess that colors will be removed in this one. So the inconsistency will disapear.

Anchored Objects with text wrap, need vertical space

Hi. I'm a fairly new InDesign user and have just this past week learned about anchored objects, threading text frames, numbered lists, and some other fun options. So far InDesign has done most everything I need fairly elegantly. However, I have not been able solve one issue.
In my book I have numerous pages that have this issue; I'll just describe one case. On this page there are 4 graphics running down the right side of the page. These are not anchored graphics. They do have text wrap defined on the left side and bottom. There is text that wraps lovely on the left.
Each of these four graphics has a specific paragraph it needs to top align with. However, the text it aligns with may not take up as much vertical space as the graphic does. When I anchor each graphic with the paragraph it needs to align with, the four graphics overlap each other.
At the moment, to make it look right, I have placed each graphic individually and added a blank paragraph above each paragraph of text that should align with a graphic and use the Space Above of each blank paragraph to have it align with the graphic.
I'm not even sure what to search to try and solve this. I looked briefly into compound paths, but that didn't look like it would help.
I hope this is clear and thank you for any assistance at all.
Andrea

No problem. Click your cursor somewhere in the paragraph that ought to be aligned with the next image down, then run this Javascript.
It's not entirely accurate, as it uses the font size to do a minimal adjustment where it actually should use the font's cap height -- but you cannot get to that through scripting. This final adjustment is necessary because ID does know the baseline, and your first line ought to dip just below this to have the top of the first line aligned to the top of the image.
//DESCRIPTION:Align paragraph with image.
// Jongware, 15-Jul-2010
if (app.selection.length == 1 && app.selection[0].hasOwnProperty ("baseline") && app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].index > 0)
     // find nearest image on the right
     ypos = app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].lines[0].baseline;
     pg = app.selection[0].parentTextFrames[0];
     while (1)
          if (pg instanceof Character)
               pg = pg.parentTextFrames[0];
          if (pg instanceof Spread || pg instanceof Page)
               break;
          if (pg instanceof Document || pg instanceof Application)
               exit(0);
          pg = pg.parent;
     img = pg.allGraphics;
     dist = 999999;
     nearest = null;
     for (i=0; i<img.length; i++)
          if (img[i].geometricBounds[0] > ypos && Math.abs(img[i].geometricBounds[0] - ypos) < dist)
               dist = Math.abs(img[i].geometricBounds[0] - ypos);
               nearest = img[i];
     if (nearest == null)
          alert ("no image found nearby!");
     else
          prevm = app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits;
          app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.POINTS;
          top = nearest.geometricBounds[0];

          app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = prevm;
This image shows three paragraphs aligned with their respective images (it won't work on the first paragraph, but that ought not to be necessary anyhoo).
