InDesign :: Find All Text Wrapped In Commas And Make Them Italic
Feb 17, 2014
I know the Find/Change tool is quite powerful within Indesgn but I was wondering if there is a way for it to find all text wraped in “ ” and make them italic
I have two 10,000 word documents filled with quotes and I was thinking an automated process maybe more accurate than be skimming it and doing it manually.
how to fit text to path like the example below. I can get text wrapped to a circle, but I am not sure how to get the outside edge to be wider than the inside edge like the example. Using X4.
When I am editing text, GIMP will no longer apply italic nor bold effects. (Underline works though.)
I just upgraded from 2.8(.2?) to 2.8.6, and now I have this problem. I also just upgraded from Win XP to WIn 7 and upgraded from 32-bit to 64-bit, so I don't know if that is a factor.
I have files I created with the last version of GIMP that I can open and see the text properly formatted, but if I adjust the text the formatting disappears and WILL NOT come back.
GIMP won't print anymore either. My printer is set up correctly and I can print from other programs, but when I print from GIMP, it LOOKS like it went through, but the printer fails to do anything. I wind up having to tell GIMP to print to the microsoft xps writer (which DOES work) and then open the xps file I just made and have windows print it.
I have section headings in my document that have a Paragraph style applied to them. They are always of the form d.d.d.d( ) follow by a short sentance of text. For eg:
5.2.2.1 The rain in Spain falls gently on the crane
I am looking for a GREP style that can underline every word character with a character style but not the spaces between the words. It seems to involve nested iterations which I'm not sure how to do including a non-marking expression. Well it aint working how I think it should…
5.2.2.1 The rain in Spain falls gently on the crane.
I think this GREP style should get it: (?<= )((S)+(?:s))+ The positive looks back on the Tab between the last digit of section number and first word but the non-marking subexpressions are not excepting the spaces from underlining, instead I end up with all the Head Text underlines like so:
5.2.2.1 The rain in Spain falls gently on the crane
If i used a text file or an image as a link in more than one indd file, is it possible to know in which and how many files indd this files is a link? if yes, how can i do?
As a photojournalist I upload my pictures to news agencies, using captions and keywords to add information to the files. While captions work fine, the keyword formation of Lightroom puts me in trouble, when I export the files to upload them to the agencies.
I would need the keywords to be separated by commas, like here:
Germany, Berlin, Angela Merkel, Politics
Unfortunately, when I export the images, Lightroom writes them without separation-commas (only puts the keywords in separate lines), like this:
how to apply a brush to a path, but I'm not. I literally want to know how the brush wraps...what it's technical sequence is around a complex path.
I'm creating a set of brushes meant for wrapping around a text path. I'm trying to push the limits of what's possible by doing some unique things and have had various results. For example, when you create a path from a text layer, where does it create the start and end anchor points?? When I apply my brushes, they seem to always start in the bottom left of the text...is there a way to change that? By better understanding the process of how it wraps around and inside each character, i can create better and more efficient brushes.
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'm having extreme trouble creating a high-res 3d wrapped image. Here [URL] .... is the image.
You can see that the 3d rendering is only a few points, all smooth curves. My raster effects settings are high (CMYK 300PPI). The symbol image that I've wrapped is a 300PPI JPG file created from Photoshop, saved as a JPG, then placed and embedded in AI. Yet that text is atrocious. You can even clearly see the poor anti-aliasing colors that are going on. Several letters are not able to be read at all.
I've tried rasterizing the object using high res settings, anti-alias on and off. I've tried copy/pasting as a smart object into Photoshop. I've tried almost everything I can think of and I can't get this text to appear crisp on the bottle. It's a simple bottle, only 4 or so points and there are only 3 possible surfaces to map. I deliberately drew it that way to reduce any drag on the system. I'm on a 2009 iMac running Mountain Lion and 16GB RAM, i5.
This issue has plagued me honestly for months and I always end up doing a significant amount of retouching in Photoshop because of it. I'd like to create a crisp 3d wrap in AI if possible to hasten my workflow.
Maybe the answer is that AI isn't really suited and I need to look into a more dedicated 3d program.
I have a huge list of drawings I need to apply this update to. Updating Styles isn't really an option as we haven't enough consistency in the styles we have used.

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.
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.
I have a children's book, fixed layout created with Illustrator and indesign, that I want to make available for Kindle. The book is built in Indesign CC with full page image on a layer and text boxes on the layer above it. My background is in print design so I don't code..
I installed the new OSX update, Mavericks. Hadn't noticed anything weird in its running, except that when I went to run Photoshop my most commonly used font, Lucida Handwriting Italics was missing. It's still in my font book on my Mac, so that's not the issue, but it's like Photoshop just doesn't recognize it. I tried downloading another copy, but my font book said that I had duplicates and I had to disable the newly downloaded one. I need this particular font for my job.
My converted FreeHand files show the Background and Guides layer names in italics. Is there some simple way to change them to regular or back to italic in Illustrator?
I have a drawing which has hundreds of levels on and i'm trying to establish what the MEAN level is and the AVERAGE level. I thought the best way might be to extract the text to excel and perform it there but at the moment the only way i can do it is to copy and paste the text and its taking me forever. Is there a way to either a) extract text to excel or b) calculate a MEAN value based on texted selected?
A program that prompts:"select objects:" then I can select some objects like as text, line, circle,... after that program find all texts in selected items and swap text
swap means: xxx/yyy ===> yyy/xxx ; "/" is a divisor
