![]() ![]() Perhaps, there is another script out there. I am hoping there is a simple answer to this question. I need the text to word wrap within the box and keep the text size the same. How do I convert this text object of individual lines into a ?text box? so that the text will wrap within the box? When I stretch the box of text, it stretches the letters (and changes the aspect ratio of the text) which I don?t want. ![]() Question: since I am relatively new to AI usage. I am able to merge two text strings together with this command. Then, AI didn?t recognize it initially until I exitted AI and restarted. Initially in the download, I noticed it opens up a web page with the program in text so, I had to copy and paste to a text file (notepad) and rename the extension to. I am using Adobe Illustrator CS3, and I am working with a lot of legacy information which comes with text with individual lines and even individual characters. The merged textframe will retain all of the object-level attributes of this textframe. If you sort by top, then it’s the topmost frame. So, what the script does do, is retain the settings from what I call the “primary” textframe, the one that is first in the sorting order. Unfortunately there isn’t a good way to synthesize these since the settings between two frames because they can be in direct conflict with each other. The textframes that get merged can have any variety object-level settings applied to them (InCopy assignment, multiple columns, drop shadows, etc). In trying to take into account all of the possible cases, I tried to avoid guessing what the user wants, because I may end up overwriting something that he/she cares about. Re: Multiple columns and InCopy Assignment, I address a little bit of this inĪ lot of these things are at the level of the textframe itself and not the text content. It’s a very helpful plug-in, but I often get lots of text frames where I just want one. One example of where I know I’ll be using this is after converting files with the PDF2ID plug-in from recosoft. Here’s an example (before, dialog box, and after): You can also find a version for Illustrator here. The Merge Text Frames for Adobe InDesign script works in InDesign CS2, CS3, and CS4. Now, help comes to InDesign and Illustrator, in the forms of a couple of scripts written by Ajar Productions. If I recall, there was a cool feature of Aldus PageMaker (I’m sorry, but it’ll never really be Adobe PageMaker to me) that let you copy a bunch of text frames at the same time, then past them all into a single, merged story. But if they’re unthreaded frames, then getting all that text into a single frame can be a pain in the… well, pick your least favorite part of the body to have a pain of this sort. ![]() Not a big deal if they’re already threaded together. Sometimes I just have too many text frames on a spread and I want to merge them together. ![]()
