I am drafting a lengthy document, including copying and pasting passages from other documents, and on one page the text only goes half way down the page (even though the text frame fills the whole page) before jumping to the next page ~ how do I remove this empty gap in the text?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHere is a strange problem since this morning. The text wrapping window is totally empty! I don't have any setting options anymore.
Yesterday, everything was OK but not today. I don't understand why and I don't know what to dot. I restarted InDesign and the computer but nothing changed. The other setting windows are OK.
I am setting a mailer for a customer. Im using datamerge to to populate the addresses. I keep getting the one or more empty field names error when I try to bring in the list and I am not sure why. Here is a screen shot of the list All the information seems to have headings like it should so I dont know what the problem is. I now some of the field dont have date but it needs to be that way because some of the entrys do. I am Indesign CS6 on a MAC.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if it is somehow possible to search for empty entries after Data Merge is completed?
The 'Entries' are shown with Hidden Characters visible as you can see in attached screenshot:
I can copy those and insert into the Find/Change window but nothing can be found. I think these are not real hidden characters.

I am plotting this using an OKI C821 colour printer.
It prints with gaps between the black text/lines and the red and green sectors.
I want to eliminate the gaps.
I have tried increasing`VIEWRES' to 20,000 and segements in a Pline arc to 1000.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am placing addresses on a mailer. I need to remove lines where there is a blank field (ex. apartment numbers are on some but not others). I have checked the remove blank lines option in the data merge drop down menu but it doesn't seem to work. I also did the find/change option once the file was created and it also didn't work. I am not sure what possibly could be going on. I am using INdesign CS6 on a mac. Here is a screen shot of the file before the merge, the setting menu, the file after merge and the csv file.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have hundreds of diagrams in Microsoft word that need importing to Indesign. I have imported the illustration part of the diagrams via Illustrator but i now need to bring in the diagrams' text labelling.
The diagrams have a lot of text labels which each appear in their own text box, but if I save the .doc as an rtf and import it into InDesign, it imports all my individual textboxes into 1 large textbox which I can't seem to separate them from.
If I select one of my labels in Indesign and copy and paste it, it is now a separate text box - great, but InDesign won't let me select multiple text boxes within it's large text box and it just is not feasible for me to be selecting each box individually to cut and paste it.
Edit: Each individual text box (within the large textbox they have been imported into) appears to have been anchored on import. If I release the anchor this does what I need in the same way as cutting and pasting, but again, indesign won't let me select more than one and it would take far too long to select each box individually to release it. So I guess I'm either asking for a different import methos, or a way to select multiple textboxes that have been imported into a single text box.
I'm printing a document trying to get two out of each page. I imported text, formatted it within Indesign cs3 and not it's time to copy the block and paste it onto the right side of the page. But the pasted version had a .50 tab at the first word which does not exist on the original side. How do I fix this?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm a web developer currently slicing an illustrator file for web graphics. Some of the icons and images have shadows, lights, etc, and it's impossible to simply see by a naked eye which pixels contains some shade or nearly transparent color and which doesn't.
It would be extremely useful if I could somehow easily differentiate between empty and non-empty pixels, so I wouldn't miss any when slicing.
I have been using PSP9 for many years now. However, after trying out PSP X5 I liked some of the new features, so I decided to upgrade. Now I'm starting to regret it... For some reason, the new version creates this little "empty space" at the end of text which I cant figure out how to get rid of! I attached a screenshot to show you what I mean. Is there any way to remove this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI made a prompted entry, for example, in a sketched symbol,again, for example.
Now i edit the text and want to write a static text, not a prompted entry and none from that list, but i cannot get the empty, white, window, like in the picture, and like when i start a new text.
I am forced to choose only from the list.
I could add an empty text value within an multi value list in inventor 2010, but I don't think i can do the same thing in 2013, is there a possible way to do it?
Btw, when by an empty text value I dont mean a space.
Trying to remove any text frames with empty content but it doesn't seem to be removing correct textFrame layers?

First I am a new user of InDesign so it might just be me. I am trying to use text wrap and it works fine with a text box. When I try to do the same thing on another page with a link text, text wrap does not work.

As a I have to do this hundreds of times in a document I was looking for a search-replace option but I did not succeed.
Does this script also cleans up unpainted objects and empty text frames? Personally, I don't think so because the check of the script in extendscript and illustrator results negative.
var idoc = app.activeDocument;var straypoints = []; for (i=0; i<idoc.pathItems.length; i++) {
var ipath = idoc.pathItems[i]; if (ipath.pathPoints.length==1)
straypoints.push(ipath);} for (j=0; j<idoc.textFrames.length; j++) {
var itext = idoc.textFrames[j]; if (itext.textRange.length==0)
straypoints.push(itext);} for (k=0; k<straypoints.length; k++)
straypoints[k].remove();
I also want to automatically remove all objects who have a white fill (white background) and no stroke.
Problem is a created pdf-file of an html-file of a table that must be cleaned up. There are a lot of stray points, empty text frames, unpainted objects, white "cells" that are also be painted in the pdf.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to position some shaded text boxes within columns of normal text that all flow over approximately 30 pages. This is so that whenever I make text edits in the columns I dont have to manually go through and reposition the coloured boxed.
The method im using at the moment is to simply cut and paste the text box into the columns so that if I add or remove a line, the box moves with the rest of the text.
However the issue I'm having is the internal text box overlaps the normal text unless i hit return 10-15 depending on how big the box is.Is there anyway to avoid this?

I have some text blocks in Illustrator CS 6 that display the red plus sign that indicates overset text but there is no overset text. It occurs in files that were created with earlier versions of Illustator and now we are reworking them. It can't be deleted. I have cut the text in the box and pasted it into a new text box to no avail. It is not a screen artifact. I have tried copying everything in the file and pasting it into a new file and the little red plus sign comes along. It doesn't print, of course.

View 3 Replies View RelatedInstead of adding text as a prefix or suffix i would like to know if it is possible aswell to remove text from within text: For example:
I have these texts "I am not good", "he is not good", "what not to be" And i would like to remove the word "not" from all selected text so i would get "i am good", "he is good" , "what to be". The set word not will always be the same, so there is no need for user string input.
I know how to do this on Indesign...but I do not have that programme at present. I am using photoshop CS3 and am wanting to design a tattoo. It is an outline of New Zealand with some song lyrics inside as inspration due to the Earthquake we have had in Christchurch.
Is it possible for me to do this in Photoshop (roughly), or not? I have tried to look but I don't even know what it is called for the task I am trying to do!
I'm working with InDesign CC. How do I join or link two text frames into one continuous flowing text frame?
