MemberVery Awesome… I can't thank you enough. I must say you are one of the most helpful and active InDesign Secrets gurus on the forums. Thank you again. At the risk of looking a gift horse in the mouth is there a way to make it apply to more than 2 frames? Say starting with the top left most frame and ending with the bottom right most frame?
Just wondering
This is helpful enough and works pretty quickly.
I am impressed with how fast you pulled this off in the first place. Thank you agian and agian.
March 22, 2010 at 3:35 am in reply to: Is there a script to combine selected frames as Threaded Text #55207MemberWell close… but not quite. This merges several frames in to one frame. I still would like all the frames to remain separate threaded text frame. I could use this to merge all the frames then copy all the text and then manually reflow it. It takes one step out of the process but i really would like to find something a bit easier.

Memberawww man… Yeah I figured there wasn't a way. The replacing the return trick is pretty nice…. not as nice as a quick apply but not bad. I am getting really excited about ID CS5… CS4's features were kept under wraps for so long it almost seemed like nothing was going to be added. That wasn't the truth and I was jumping up and down when I heard about Grep styles, conditional text, and smart guides. I dont know what big feautes I would add now but the small things like this quick apply and form creation would be nice. :)

Hmm not sure. I could send you my text boxes if you want to try and debug. I can't really figure it out.

MemberThank you… I will have to check in to the Zevrix solution. I am using CS4 but am unsure of how do use it in an automated workflow… so far the find and replace works without me even really thinking about it.
MemberThe biggest problem I am having with things is the quality difference between using the Export PDF and Printing to postscript file and then distilling. I wish they were consistant with eachother but they just are not. Distilling the files gives me smaller files with better quality under the same export settings in distillers.
Is there anyway to batch convert indesign Docs to .PS files?
MemberYeah i am trying to play around with the export setting for now. The problem is I need the files to be small. Since they will be uploaded to the web. the phone numbers are used to track how the customer receives the piece… can't include both numbers.
I am using my own PDF presets as well not the predefined one that ship with indesign.
