Re: Image placed in table masking out table borders

Under the bottles? Yes. My mistake, the term "border" refers the outside of the table and that's where I was looking.

Can you add a slight bottom margin to that cell? Or all cells? Just a point or two?

I would like my image to go right to the rule. It shouldn't be masking the rule. Just wondering if this is a bug I should report, because I don't see it being a wanted behavior.

Actually that would require you to maintain two documents. Liquid and Alternate Layouts can be contained in one InDesign document with live linked assets. It's much easier and cleaner.

I do understand what you are asking—and no it should not—but I can't replicate the behavior with a graphic cell, image larger than cell, and clip contents to cell on.

Clearly, I'm moving slowly this afternoon, so someone else may see a solution. If you determine it's a bug, you can report it here: Feature Request/Bug Report Form.

That's odd that you can't replicate it. It always happens for me. I know I've trashed preferences at least once since this has shown up. A possible solution seems to be direct selecting the image and setting Effects to multiply. But it seems like a bug.

...mostly because it's Japanese. Several other approaches might be favored for content you fully understand, but Japanese (assuming you don't understand it), is best left alone; resized as a single unit.


Re: Auto save for InDesign documents?

How would you like the feature to work?

In addition to the current autorecovery, allow the end-user to configure, at regular intervals, the ability to save an open document to a selected location (i.e. a specific volume/folder or to a cloud location - i.e. Adobe's storage cloud).

 

You are describing comprehensive, incremental backup software like Retrospect and that would not be a trivial addon. You have to consider file sizes with apps like Photoshop and InDesign. I routinely have multiple 1GB+ PS files open at the same time—InDesign files can be 100s of MB each. In that case, timed incremental backups would fill a large drive in no time, or think of the bandwith problems moving 100MB copies to a cloud server.

There is always a risk of reflow when changing versions, and it isn't surprising if it happens for a dot release when one of the things modified is the text engine.

Liquid or Alternate Layout is what you are asking for. Here is some information on how to get started:

Thank you. What an awesome resource! I had no idea that I could do this in InDesign.

If I didn't know about Liquid..., I would have settled on linked frames (and static formatting based on the master A4 copy) but I definitely prefer having the flexibility to reformat the content.

 

Thanks for your help.

Tried with cell converted to graphic cell, then place the image ( indesign 11.3 windows)

A long time ago [ … and I know what you think: … "in a galaxy far, far away" !  ], I asked myself how it inverse cooly some chars groups with different applied char styles like here (above, the beginning; below, the result):

Re: Text flowing horizontally across two text boxes

I was going to suggest using one text frame and using a rectangle with a wrap applied for this but it seems Obi-wan has that covered.. So I will revert to my second thought -- complete script.. Type everything in one text frame (on the left page of the spread) and run this script with the text frame selected:

 

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var pageWidth = app.documentPreferences.pageWidth;

var pages = doc.pages;

var sel = app.selection;

var gb = sel[0].geometricBounds;

var secondFrame = sel[0].parentPage.textFrames.add({geometricBounds:[gb[0],gb[1] + pageWidth,gb[2],gb[3] + pageWidth]});

sel[0].parentStory.justification = Justification.LEFT_ALIGN;

var lines = sel[0].parentStory.lines;

for(c=0;c<lines.length;c++){

    if(lines[c].characters[-1].contents != "\r"){

        lines[c].characters[-1].contents = String(lines[c].characters[-1].contents) + "\n";

    }if(lines[c].characters[-2].contents == " "){

        lines[c].characters[-2].contents = "";

    }

}for(c=1;c<lines.length;c++){

    if(lines[c-1].characters[-1].contents == "\r"){

        secondFrame.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\r";

    }else{

        secondFrame.insertionPoints[-1].contents = lines[c].contents;

        lines[c].remove();

    }

}if(sel[0].parentStory.lines.length > secondFrame.parentStory.lines.length){

    sel[0].parentStory.lines[-1].characters[-1].contents = "";

}secondFrame.parentStory.justification = Justification.LEFT_JUSTIFIED;

sel[0].parentStory.justification = Justification.LEFT_JUSTIFIED;

I also try to reproducing the issue, but there's no problem. Try suggestion mention by ohmanath, here is the link to how to reset indesign preferencces:

I have to ask my computer service man to reinstall Win / on my office computer, there is dozens of computer programs that suddenly stop working. What is the sense of a new Win version if I can not work any longer. I have during more than ten years developed a working environment with many programs that has been working well together. Now my whole workshop is  ruined lika after an earth quake. I do not have the money nor the time to build me a new workshop with large investments in programs and equiopment. I have to return to win 7 or close my firm and go fishing in Walden pond. par.lindstrom@balticbooks.se

Re: How do I turn off Autofit permanently?

I agree. I didn't use InDesign for some time and when I returned to it, it took me hours to realize why resizing shrunk the content. Its an incredibly annoying feature, especially because it is on by default.

 

It seems that with every software update, as more and more features get added and the GUI real estate gets more cluttered, the core tools and most basic steps become increasingly counter-intuitive. Drawing a simple line in Illustrator can also became a very taunting task. If your not using the software on a daily basis, its probably quicker to take a pencil & ruler, draw a line on a piece of paper and then scan it in...

 

I would love to see a video of someone new to Illustrator given the task of drawing a line, coloring it and then adding an arrow at the end. If someone can do it under a day, he deserves a medal!

 

I hope you can enjoy the humor in this (and don't take me all to seriously)...

Have you checked that the layer with the missing fill is set to print (Layer Options>Print Layer)? With print Layer unchecked a layer's objects will be visible with Overprint/Separation Preview off  but hidden when OP is on. When you export, layers with print layer unchecked are hidden in the PDF.

I have indesign cs4. The "place" function is not working. It has in the past. Any suggestions?
