I’ve got a related text wrap question. Is there a way to set a master text box, containing say a chapter heading, so it divides the text to be roughly equal in length on each line - ie the last line does not have one word, or is not, say, shorter than 40% of the length of the line above?

I see. That’s bringing a copy of that item from the master page onto my page. Not quite what I had in mind, but easier than copying and pasting. Thanks!

Tim, text on a master page is kind of like in a bubble… it doesn’t wrap on the document pages until you pop the bubble by overriding the master page item (command-shift-click on the object).

I have a box with text wrap on some of my pages and I want text that’s on the master pages to wrap around it. It wraps on some pages but not others. What can I do to make that master-page text always wrap?

Tim –

Sadly, no. Ignoring text wrap is an all-or-nothing proposition.

Hello, just wondering if you can set a text frame to ignore text wrap from an image but obey the text wrap of another, so effectively telling it which text wraps to obey and which to not follow.

Cheers

By default, text wrap on master pages effect the pages to which the master is applied. You can disable this feature, to make wrap only effect items that reside on the master page. Just select the item on the master page that has the text wrap applied to it, open the text wrap panel (ctrl/cmd+alt+w) and click the preferences arrow (top-right of text wrap panel) and select “Apply to mater page only”.

If your text wrap on master pages is not working, then you should sheck to see if it is applied to mater page only.

I want to know if it’s possible to get text in text boxes to wrap on pages that have master page items with text wrap applied to it. (eg I have text boxes on pages 6 to 12 and want the text to wrap around a circle that resides on my master page.)

Sorry for the confusion, Donna. The “Watch the Videocast” is a site-wide link to the “videocasts” category, just as the “Listen to the Podcast” link is a link to the “podcasts” category of the site. In any of the individual posts for the specific episodes, you’ll find links to the downloadable episodes themselves within the text describing the episode (usually worded something like “in this episode”).
