InDesign :: Text Wrap Not Working With Linked Text Box
Feb 24, 2014
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.
we have tried EVERYTHING. we use adobe indesign for our school newspaper and for the past 3 days we have been trying to get one of the articles (text) to wrap around a photo. the photo is a simple rectangle shape. for all of the other pages, the text wraps around photos perfectly fine. but for some reason on this one page it will not wrap around any picture at all. of course "text wrap" is selected for the photo and we also tried going to the text frame options and unchecked ignore text wrap. that still didn't work. we tried putting it on "detect edges" and that also did not work.
I'm trying to wrap the text around an image in InDesign - it works fine when the image is to the left of the text box, but when I move it to the right it's not having any of it.
Using InDesign CC, I want to wrap text around a graphic that is anchored into the paragraph. I'm able to do this if the graphic is anchored into the left side of the paragraph by choosing Inline or Above Line and adjusting the Y distance.
However, I need to anchor the graphic on the right side of the paragraph so that the right edge of the graphic aligns to the right edge of the paragraph, as shown below. Is that possible?
I have a layer with text wrap underneath another layer. I don't want the text wrap to affect the layer above but I want it to affect the current layer. The order of the layers and objects is as follows:
Layer 2 text 2 circle 2 (text wrap so text 2 stays inside) Layer 1 text 1 circle 1 (text wrap so text 1 stays inside)
However the wrap from circle 1 affects text 2 as well and I don't want that to happen, while I still want it to wrap inside circle 2.
I have designed a C# application to To Print I Cards Of School. Here I am sending data from my application to a CDR FILE (Already Created ) Which Contains ADDRESS Text Field..Now I Need to Print Address(which contains 60 characters or more) on this Text field .
I Have Used The following c# Code.. To Replace Address text field that contains text 'Address '.....
s.Text.Replace('Address',"Text To be replaced .......")...here s is Active shape...
This Works Fine But How can i WRAP TEXT....of Address field.
I am animating text so that it appears after a 3 second delay on page load. However, it does not seem to work at all. It worked for a paragraph of text, but it won't work for text that seems to be surrounded by other objects. I tried moving the animated object to the top-most layer, but that did not work.
When I click on an object to retrieve it's extended data, the data keeps writing to the right, it does not return to the next line, when the text approaches the end of the screen. Very difficult to analyze information.
I am setting a book in Indesign CS2.I use "Text frame options" > align > justify on all my pages. On a page that was so justified, I inserted a picture using the "text wrap". Soon as I did, the text stopped being aligned along the foot of the page (which looks rotten, because the facing page is justified and so the spread is now no longer aligned.
I tried to I use "Text frame options" > align > justify again, but now the option to align is now greyed out.
When I click on an object to retrieve it's extended data, the data keeps writing to the right, it does not return to the next line, when the text approches the end of the screen.
I'm Trying to Wrap Text Around a Coin, I've searched A lot of the Tutes, but Found that Not one, up to now, has Wrapped text around anything? Do I need a Plugin? Or Am I just Too Brand new?
Is there a way to export text from InDesign to Photoshop and preserve the type as editable text in an area text box, similar to the export to PSD in Illustrator? Designed many web site pages in InDesign, and now need to covert all pages over to Photoshop quickly.
I 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?
I need to change the text "IA" (just what is between the brackets) with another "IA" (I can not show this graphically) where the "A" is shifted upwards 3 pt.
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.
My text will not wrap around a map that I have created in CorelDraw. The map consists of lines (depicting roads, streams, and railroads that were drawn using the freehand pen) and place names and titles. In both contour and square wrap settings, the text box only recognizes the text objects on the map and ignores all the line objects. I have grouped everything on the map and it shows as one object. Is there a simple solution so that my text will properly wrap around the map. This problem is holding up my publication schedule!
i need to put some perspective into my text, but i have no idea how to do it. the image i have is a wall from an angle. i need to know how to make the text look like it is on the face of the wall. any ideas?
if there are not to clear, post a reply and i will try to scan the image with what i want drawn on it and then upload it here.
I have a an image and i want to wrap text around it to form a love heart shape similar to this image: URL....Is it possible to do this in bespoke/manual way, or is it a case of using various degrees of the arc functionality?
I am attempting to do a text wrap in Illustrator. Everything is on one layer. Both items I wish to wrap text around are above the text itself. The text is actually the bottom component in the layer. Each of the two items is a graphic with text and each is grouped prior to asking it to wrap text. The text wraps just fine around one item, but will not wrap around the second item. I earlier had created a very similar file and the text wrapped fine around both items, so I know it can. But it doesn't want to in this instance.
I 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?
The attached is a jpeg of an InDesign file. I have the image of the guy that has text wrap around him and would like fake that in Photoshop. Is that possible?
I am having trouble w/ entering text that will auto wrap. I am using PS 6. I drag the text box (which should put me in paragraph mode) and when I type, the words 'disappear' off the edge of the text box instead of auto wrap.
If I hit enter, the next line jumps to the bottom of page/box.
I don't want to have to type each line as a separate text box, but so far that is the only way to get it to work.
I want to put text on a Christmas ornament. How can I make it look like it's actually printed on the 3-d sphere? I've tried warp text, but that doesn't look right either. Is there a way to do it? Is there some sort of text path tool and then I can apply warp?
I'm very new to Xara Web Design (I have version 9). I'm trying to wrap the text around my photos. The 'help' file advises to repel text under and/or repel and anchor. I have tried both options and my photo just lands in the middle of the text. The tutorial just says to use the 'select' arrow and move the photo around and the text will form around it. No go....what am I doing wrong????
For some reason, a text wrap wont work. I've placed the object above the text. but every time i try creating it I just get this odd looking outline around text (see image below).
I've tried looking up how to do this and been unable to find anything. I would like to write something closer to a textbook where there is a lot of text on each page, but perhaps a few images dropped in. But, the layout would need to be custom. I
