Why is InDesign6 rendereing left-aligned text as right-aligned?

I have a Word Document and we're feeding it to InDesign 5.5 and InDesign 6. The text are left-aligned and were rendered as such by 5.5. InDesign 6 renders it as right-aligned. I'm not sure why this is happening!
Microsoft Word
Indesign 5.5
InDesign 6

^ I don't think so. I'm on a trial version that I downloaded from the english site.

  • Align text in a textarea

    Greetings,
    Could anyone point me out in how to align a text in a textarea?, as in left/right/center ?
    Thank you

    An easy way to do it is to use a JEditorPane... here's an example class:
    package com.clearlyhazy;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class AlignableTextPane extends JEditorPane {
         private static String LEFT = "\"LEFT\"";
         private static String CENTER = "\"CENTER\"";
         private static String RIGHT = "\"RIGHT\"";
         private String alignString = LEFT;
         private String realText;
         public AlignableTextPane() {
              super("text/html", "");
         public AlignableTextPane(String align) {
              super("text/html", "");
              setAlignment(align);
         public void setAlignment(String align) {
              if (align.equals(AlignableTextPane.LEFT) || align.equals(AlignableTextPane.CENTER) || align.equals(AlignableTextPane.RIGHT)) {
                   alignString = align;
         public String getText() {
              return realText;
         public void setText(String t) {
              realText = t;
              super.setText("<P ALIGN=" + alignString + ">" + realText + "</P>");
         public void setText(String t, String alignment) {
              alignString = alignment;
              setText(t);
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              JFrame tester = new JFrame("Alignment Test");
              JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
              mainPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 0));
              AlignableTextPane leftPane = new AlignableTextPane(AlignableTextPane.LEFT);
              leftPane.setText("This text is left-aligned.");
              mainPanel.add(leftPane);
              AlignableTextPane centerPane = new AlignableTextPane(AlignableTextPane.CENTER);
              centerPane.setText("This text is center-aligned.");
              mainPanel.add(centerPane);
              AlignableTextPane rightPane = new AlignableTextPane(AlignableTextPane.RIGHT);
              rightPane.setText("This text is right-aligned.");
              mainPanel.add(rightPane);

  • How to align text to left of tabbedpane

    I am trying to align my text in a tabbedpane and it only centers, is there a way to make the text within the tab left aligned?
    Here is my code:
    ================
    tabbedPane.addTab("Step 1/Campaign",null, new CampaignPanel(),"General Campaign Information");
    tabbedPane.addTab("Step 2/MOP", null, new MOPPanel(),"Method of Payment Entry");
    tabbedPane.addTab("Step 3/Shipping", null, new ShipPanel(),"Shipping Information Entry");
    I have tried to use HTML in the text by <P align="left">some text</P>, but that didn't do it.
    thanks
    Dean
    tabbedPane.addTab("Step 4/Leads", null, new LeadsPanel(),"Load and test Campaign Leads");

    If you want to change the layout of the text inside a tab, one solution is to override the layoutLabel method the BasicTabbedPaneUI... it's kinda complicated so I'm hoping someone out there has a better solution.
    Anyway, the line to look at in layoutLabel is:
    SwingUtilities.layoutCompoundLabel(
    (JComponent) tabPane,
    metrics,
    title,
    icon,
    SwingUtilities.CENTER,
    SwingUtilities.CENTER,
    SwingUtilities.CENTER,
    //SwingUtilities.TRAILING,
    SwingUtilities.CENTER,
    tabRect,
    iconRect,
    textRect,
    textIconGap);
    Here you can specify where things go in the tab. Arguments 5-8 deal with the text position and text position in relation to the image.

  • How to align text(left, right or center) on a button?

    I can not figure out how to align text on a button,

  • Left aligned text does not create a link in Muse 2014.

    I am creating my own breadcrumb and noticed that if the text is left aligned the first word or words of the breadcrumb in the text box are near impossible to highlight with the text tool, and any page link added does not function. However, if the same breadcrumb is right aligned within the same text box everything works as it should and all the links function. Realign the text to left and the first link of the breadcrumb is knocked out of action again. I have tried adding padding or space to push the first link away from the left edge of the text box but that does not work.
    Also, if the first link of the breadcrumb is say three words long, and the link is applied to all three words only the last word functions, example "Store Home Page > Widgets 1 > Widgets 2" here the only links that would function would be "Page > Widgets 1 > Widgets 2" right align and "Store Home Page > Widgets 1 > Widgets 2" function.

    Do you have a URL to a site that demonstrates the problem?

  • Left-aligning text in Final Cut 7

    I am using Final Cut Pro Version 7.0.3, doing mostly subtitles for TV series.
    Because of the amount of titles done daily, and because we left-align around 30% of all our subtitle text, I would save a lot of time if there was a keyboard shortcut to left-align text in the subtitle clips.
    Text Settings under the Control tab in the Viewer, automatically chooses Center Alignment, which is fine, but how can I left-align text without having to choose from the Alignment options? I could not find this option in the keyboard layout, so I could not assign a key for left-alignment.
    Does anyone know how to do this?

    This is not a direct answer to your question, but in my experience most FCP-7 users don't use the Text option in text intensive projects. As you have discovered, the Text options are limited.
    Instead they use Boris Title 3D which is bundled in FCP-7:
    Boris Title 3D gives you much more control over your text, and defaults to left justification:
    You might take a look and see if using this tool (which Apple provided to address the shortcomings of the Text generator) can help you.

  • Right aligned text in textfield

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set the text in a textfield to be right-aligned, as it is a number textfield. I'm trying to do this with awt only (as opposed to Swing).
    As our number system is Arabic, I figured on doing the following:
    <code>
    txtfld.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
    </code>
    However, that didn't do the trick, though I'm deuced if I know why!
    Any other suggestions?
    Cheers

    DrClap wrote:
    ...Arabic numerals are the ones like 0, 1, 2, and so that are used all over the Western world...Actually, no. I always thought that, too, but I just learned that most Arabic nations use "Arabic-Indic" digits to represent numbers, not the so-called Arabic digits we use in the West (I think I'll just call those "ASCII digits" from now on). However, they are written left-to-right, not right-to-left like the rest of Arabic script. @OP, if this textfield is to contain only digits, you may want to change its internal alignment instead of its orientation. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that with an AWT TextField.

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • For SAPscript INCLUDE TEXT, how to align as Paragraph format

    Hi experts and ABAP colleagues!
    Need your help on this sapscript problem:
    How to align texts taken from "INCLUDE TEXT" in SAPscript, according to tab defined in Paragraph Format?
    For example, I defined BG to have tabstop at the 2nd column (or equivalent to 1st tab position) where I need to print the text, and then declared it in SE71 like below:
    However the text prints at the leftmost instead of at the 2nd col position - (8th char tab defined in par. format BG).  Hence it is not aligned to its proper heading.  Line Number instead of Description - which is not okay for client view that needs these Thai texts. 
    The technical details I included below.  Kindly examine:
    1.)  Window >Main > Text Element > Include Text command
    /E   ITEM_TEXT
    BG   ,,&TTXIT-TDTEXT&
    /:   INCLUDE &T166P-TXNAM& OBJECT &T166P-TDOBJECT& ID &T166P-TDID&
    /:   NEW-PARAGRAPH BG
    Note:  I used command "NEW-PARAGRAPH" and had exactly the above code in se71.  Anything missed here?  Pls. help.  Thanks.
    #2.) Paragraph Format > Tab
    No. -
      Tab Position -
    Alignment
    1            8,00 CH            LEFT
    2            28,00 CH          CENTER
    etc.
    Note:   and then i put in  ",,&TTXIT-TDTEXT&" (see above) with the 2 comma's beforehand to say that its on the 1st tab or at the 8th character where it should be printed, but does not give intended result... pls help.
    #3.) Paragraph Formats > Standard Attributes
    Left Margin - 0 cm
    Alignment - Left
    no blank lines checkbox - ticked
    Note:  Is there any more attribute i can manipulate from here to force display at the right position?
    Thank you so much in advance for all your help.  Our project team will really appreciate it.  May the Lord bless you as we go through our SAP work!
    Sincerely,
    Celeste

    Here's a thought, instead of using tabs, try writing a method that takes a string that is the starting string, a pad character, and a length and returns a string padded to that length with the specified character.
    public String padR(String src, String padChar, int len)
        // ... You get to fill in the rest suggestion try to do it without a loop
    }Have fun,
    PS.

  • Problems Aligning Text in Headers and Footers

    I have tried to add headers and footers to documents and the  alignment is wrong.  The center footer/header should be center-aligned  and the right header/footer should be right-aligned.  Unfortunately,  they are both left-aligned.
    The preview shows the headers and footers aligned correctly, but when  the headers/footers are inserted in the document, the alignment reverts  to left aligned, although it is centered and on the right side of the  page, as appropriate.
    This is not a problem in Acrobat 7.
    Please advise if this is a bug and is awaiting an update, or if there is  something that I need to do to fix this problem.
    This is a screen shot of the preview windowindicating the proper alignment as indicated in the ovals:
    Here is the actual document once the header and footer are added.  Notice how the alignment switches to flush left:
    Any guidance is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Nope.  The good folks at Adobe have neither addressed this issue (and I have
    heard from others that it is a problem for them as well) nor have they been
    very good about maintaining my account to be able to log in and follow up on
    it.
    The truth of the matter is that it appears to be a glitch in some, but not
    all, versions of this product and clearly it is not a big enough problem for
    them to want to fix it.
    I wind up using Acrobat 7 when I need properly formatted headers and footers
    or ‹ and this ought to get the attention of the folks at Adobe and maybe
    prompt someone (anyone!) to take a look and fix this glitch ‹ you should
    check out PDFPen.  It does much of what Adobe can do including headers and
    footers.
    If I didn't already have Acrobat 7 (and 8 and now 9), I would ditch Acrobat
    and just use Preview or PDFPen.

  • How to align text to another text box

    I am very new to Indesign and I am signed up to Lynda.com so watching few a lot of tutorials, that said I need help with aligning text.
    I have a text box that is 100mm across. It has text centered. "£5"
    then above this I have in a smaller font saying "from"
    from
    £5
    I need to get the "f" of from to line up with the beginning of the £ sign? So that If I change the price to £500 the from sticks to the "£" Sign.
    To explain again the from needs to align to the left of the centred text.?
    Hope that make sense?
    Matt

    This can be done by putting the "from" text into a custom positioned anchored object just before the £ sign. You'll need to set the X coordinate relative to the anchor, and adjust the offset on both x and y to get the positioning where you want it.
    I'm sure there are lessons on Anchored Objects on Lynda.com.

    i'm using drawString method in my application. i'm using it to draw certain data in a editorpane. in that i have to align the text content but i don't know how to align the text in it such as right alignment,left alignment and center alignment...

    JEditorPanes render text on their own, there shouldn't be any reason to call Graphics.drawString() on your own, unless perhaps you are creating custom Views.

  • Is it possible to use tabs to right align text in Muse, as you can in InDesign?

    Can I use tabs to right align text in Muse, as you can in InDesign?
    I have a beauty treatment followed by a price and I want to right align the price, keeping the treatment on the left of the text box.
    Thank you!

    For what would typically be a two column tab stop layout, I'd generally use inline text frames and the Wrap panel.
    Put the price in it's own text frame. Then cut and paste the text frame BEFORE the item name so it's an inline text frame within the text frame containing the descriptions.Using the Wrap panel set it to float to the right. Then select it and set the right offset so it floats outside the right side of the original text frame.
    Start with this.
    Cut and paste the text frame at the start of the item paragraph.
    Choose the third icon in the Wrap panel to cause the item to float to the right of the text frame.
    Turn off the lock for the 4 wrap offset values.
    Adjust the right offset to a negative value so the item is outside the text frame to the right (to wherever you want it).
    Repeat the same steps above for the other items.
    Note that once it's set up this way you can freely edit the descriptions or change the width of the original text frame and the prices will adjust accordingly. This will also result in things lining up in the browser even if the text layout engine of a specific browser line breaks the text differently.
    This approach is tedious, but the end result will continue to line up as you make changes in Design view and will line up in every browser/OS/device.
    Someday Muse will support tables, which would be the more natural way to achieve this style of layout on the web. Until then, inline items with wrap is usually the best approach for this type of two column layout.
