Why I don't succeed to create two connected text boxes?

In iBooks Author I tried to create a text box connected to another pre-existent text box in the same page. First I clicked the text box, then I selected Format > text box but the option "add linked text box" was unselectable!
(in this image the text is in italian :S)

The first text box needs to be made into a hyperlink before you can select it from the second one.

  • How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

    how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
    Without free hand creating the sizing?

    Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

  • Undesired bullet pointed text automatically upon creating a new text box

    Hi there! Due to the snow I'm working from home today but I have a little problem back in work that would be nice to get some help on before i go back hopefully tomorrow so i can continue at full speed!
    I'm using Mac OS X (can't remember which version from the top of my head but something quite new!), and InDesign CS3. Basically, every time i create a new text box, or place an excel file into the document (having to do a lot of that at the moment, creating a price guide), it is in bullet point form, and although it's quite easy to go and turn it back off, with me having to do this quite a lot it's getting somewhat frustrating. It does it every single time i create a new text box even if i have turned it off for the previous one
    I'm pretty sure this is going to be one of those "oh, you just need to..." problems with a really simple answer...i hope so anyway!
    Cheers dears!

    Thanks guys, i now seem to have a related problem at home. Here i am using CS2 but working on the same document as at work. I have made sure nothing is selected and set my character and paragraph styles to basic, and hey presto, when i create a text box, all is well. However, when i create a table, and i type in a cell, the bullets return! I have just discovered that turning them off in CS2 doesn't seem to be as simple as CS3 - so firstly - how do i do that?! And secondly - any ideas why it is happening but only in tables?!

  • Threading two different text boxes

    Hi.. How do you thread two different text box with two different text format?
    Eg. Text Box 1: Font Size 50pt...
    Text box 2: Font Size 10pt..
    Once you thread the two text boxes; and delete the content in Text box 1, what ever the content that flows to Text box 1 from text box 2 should auto format to Font Size 50.
    Any Idea how to do this?

    If I understand you corrrectly, I don't know how to do that, but in case I don't understand what you want, can you please tell me if I have this right?
    You have a chain of text frames. When you start entering text, it is 50pt. When the text fills the frame and jumps to the next frame, all of that text is 10pt. and this is all done automatically. In other words, the first word of the second frame would change from 10 to 50 automatically if it jumped back to the first frame for some reason (like the first frame being made larger, or some of it's text being deleted).
    If that's what you want, then maybe someone else knows how to do it, but I don't.

  • Flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box

    hi, i hav problem with the flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box. im using macbookpro MAC OS X 10.7.5. i've search for solutions, lik relaunch the finder by pressing COMMAND+ALT+esc, but it didn't work for me...
    any1 can help me, thx...

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Two different text boxes?

    Hi,
    I just opened a template that comes with Pages. There are two different text boxes. One has the usual little white squares at the edges. The other one has yellow dots instead. What is the difference between them? Does anyone know?
    Thanks
    P.

    Hi, it's Pages 5.2.2 and the template is DIN5008-A and DIN5008-B which are specific to Germany, I think. Please see the screenshot. I haven't seen it in any other document yet.

  • Create a linked text box

    I'm working with the iBooks Publishing with iBooks Author and trying to do the tutorial for creating a new layout and running into trouble. I'm trying to do the linked text boxes it says to do. The book says when I create the first text box I should select it and then a little blue arrow will show up on the right edge near the bottom. But no such arrow shows up. Anyone have an idea of what I'm missing? Thanks.

  • Two column text box with header

    I have a text box that is set to flow as two columns. The beginning of the text box has a header then a list of bulleted items. My problem is that when the text flows to the second column, it is set at the top (in-line with the header). What I would like is to do something like set a top margin just for the second column so it will line up with the body text from the first column. Is there an easy way to do this or should I just use two text boxes and position the second box where I want it?

    Simplest is to use two text boxes.
    Dave Saunders has a script (http://pdsassoc.com/index.php?Nav=downs&Ban=Downloads&Info=downloads.html) that can do it with one text box by putting your head in a one-column table that intrudes into the second column. I've never used his script, and I see his website says CS and CS2, so I'm not sure if it would work with your version.
    You could probably achieve what you want (because I see you don't actually need the head to straddle, just the texts to top align with each other) by forcing a huge leading on one character in a frame that's set to First Baseline Offset by Leading.

  • How to create pop-up text boxes?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know if it's possible to make pop-up text boxes/windows in iBook Author? For instance, I can click on a text on the layout and a window pop-up with another text, in my case, they're references/citations. If this isn't possible in iBook Author, is there work-around for this, preferably, in iBook Author itself instead of creating widgets/imagest for every instance of the references. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Hoa

    The glossary offers this capability. However, using it for that purpose might be a bit confusing, especially if you also have "real" glossary entries.
    I'm not aware of any other way to create a pop-up.

  • 3 Questions- Two about text boxes and one about something else! (10 Points)

    Hi, I'm doing a large project in java and have ran into several issues. These are summed up in these three questions:
    1. How would I make certain words certain colours/formats? I have been told I should a JTextPane, but all my text is currently in a box created like this:
    static JTextComponent textbox = new JTextArea("", 23, 60);
    2. How would I give that above box (or the JTextPane if I used that) line numbers next to each line. Not part of the text box, but on the left hand side numbers go down every line, however (and here's the catch) when you scroll the text box, the line numbers have to scroll also, so they stay in touch with the lines.
    3. How would I launch an external application? At the start its just an .exe, however I have to load it with certain parameters? any ideas?
    Thank you
    Alex

  • IDCS2- How do I create lines in text boxes?

    I am working on a fill-in keepsake book that has many pages of prompts followed by journal lines. i.e. "The best part of the trip was____" and "People we met___" etc. I know there is a way to create the text box so the lines fill-in around the text and look nice and even, but can't seem to find it in the help or manual. Anyone know? Thanks!

  • Text flow into one or two column text boxes depending on the number of text lines

    Question InDesignCS3
    Is it possible to let text flow into one or two column textboxes depending on the number of text lines?
    Example 1)
    --Default text box--|
    | Text line 1 |
    | Text line 2 |
    | Text line 3 |
    | Text line 4 |
    ------------------- |
    If there are more than 4 text lines in the in the text box, this box has to become a two column box. like example 2
    example 2)
    |Text line 1 | Text line 4 |
    |Text line 2 | Text line 5 |
    |Text line 3 | Text line 6 |

    if (myTextFrame.lines > 4) {
    myTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 2;
    } else {
    myTextFrame.textFramePreferences.textColumnCount = 1;
