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 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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedBeen working forever on a lengthy project with lotsa text and lotsa of photos inline with the text.
Whenever I do any minor modifications anywhere in the text or spacing, of course all the photos move to the wrong places.
Unless the photo is a small one and is placed truly within the text, in which case I can anchor it and it stays where it belongs.
but sometimes the photos w/captions (grouped) take up a full page.
Then there is no text on the page to anchor them to.
Is there anyway to anchor them to the text on the previous page?
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.

How can I easily make the diaper a PMS color and add it to the grayscale baby and still maintain two colors (PMS + K)
Right now, I'm cheating and combining the PMS diaper onto the grayscale baby in Indesign..... but I really need to have this in Photoshop so I can add shadows to make it more convincing. I tried converting the grayscale to CMYK and deleting all channels but black, didn't work as it took away all the information from the image.

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've placed a logo in my InDesign file that I saved out of Photoshop. It appear blurry when in InDesign and I do have it set to high image quality display so that isn't the issue. It is also set as CMYK and I haven't resized it after saving from Photoshop.
I tried saving a jpg so it would be crisper but then I have a white box behind it when placed in the InDesign file.I need to send it to print but can't let it go until I'm sure it won't print like a blurry mess.
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?

View 3 Replies View Relatedwe 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAny way to preserve spaces between text boxes or frames, in other words if i designed a template consist of two text boxes the space between the first and the second box is 9.77 mm then i removed some text from the first text box (auto fitting to content) so the height of the first text box will decrease and the space between the two text boxes (9.77 mm) will increase, what i want to do is to fix this space so if any text box decreased in height the other text box lefted up or down to fix this space (9.77 mm).

A client sent an InDesign IDML file. I opened it at exported its stories as .txt files.
When I tried to place the texts in a new InDesign CS5 document, the text displayed strangely. Mostly, I see rectangles with exes through them. It looks likethe headers of an unreadable format. Some of the characters are normal alhabetic glyphs.
When I open the text files in TextEdit, they display normally. If I copy and paste, the texts look fine in the InDesign document.
What could cause this problem, and how can I fix it?
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.
I am taking a long shot at this because I know its possible, but I cant seem to figure out how to do it. My problem is that I have a lot of resturants clients who have different menu (take out, dine in, delivery) that contain the same items over and over agian. Problem is that if there is a change in one you have to manually change it in other menus. I am wondering if there is a way to setup these menus where you change the text in one file (doc, txt, rft, incopy or whatever)? BUT the tricky part is that, each of these files have its own indepdent text & paragraph styles and that cant be disturb by the edits.

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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way, maybe by script, to have a paragraph style include some default text?
For example, if I assign an empty paragrahp the Note style, It would display as formated, but would include the string "NOTE:"^t (i.e. NOTE: with a tab character following).
or perhaps the style Caution might display as formatted with the word caution in all caps underline (CAUTION) followed by a forced line break (^n).
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 big document with a lot of headers and subheaders that I need to move around. It's too big of a job to do it manually so I want to use paragraph styles for this but I can't seem to find where to set this. Is it even possible?

After exporting a pdf from indesign (high quality settings), pdf looks fine on screen and in print preview but printout misses 2 lines of text for no apparent reason.
Document also prints fine direct from indesign.
Have tried various fonts (including standard ones) with no change.
Searched for a new driver for my printer but the last update was for OS 10.5.
I have a document that is separated into categories of information, (i.e. radio stations, newspapers, network programs, cable programs, etc.). I tried to add section markers to each page where a new section begins. But if I make edits and add information before, and a new page is created, the section marker stays on the same page and doesn't move with the beginning of the section itself. I am using a primary text frame with smart text reflow, which I assume has something to do with it. I tried changing the end of story option to "End of Section." I also checked preserve facing pages (because a section needs to start on the right page). I thought that this would make it enough text was added that a new page was created before a section marker, the new page would be created before the section marker and the section marker would move its content.
So, for example,
Section 1 (Radio Stations)
first page has header that says "Radio Stations," followed by entries of radio stations
Section 2 (Newspapers)
first page has header that says "Newspapers", followed by entries of newspapers
So say section 1 starts on page 15, and section 2 starts on page 29. I need to add a few radio stations on any page in section 1, let's say 22. I add some information, text after flows into next pages, but the section 2 marker stays on page 29 even after the first page with header "Newspapers" has now moved to page 31.
