BarredText Description

An InDesign plug-in for tracking text changes. BarredText allows you to anchor a vertical bar into the margin of selected text (for example, to visually mark edits to a text). Once the bar is anchored, it remains attached and will automatically track changes to the text. It will move, expand or shrink as needed when text is added to or removed from the marked area.Simply select some text range, and use the API – BarredText – Attach Text Bar menu item to a stretch of text.Once the bar appears, you can add or remove text in the marked area – the bar will automatically grow or shrink as needed.You can remove a text bar by putting the text cursor somewhere inside of the associated text and using the API – BarredText – Remove Text Bar menu item.To remove all text bars from a story, put your text cursor in it, and use the API – BarredText – Remove All Text Bars in Story menu item. All text bars will disappear from all text frames that are part of the story.To allow customizations, the plug-in adds a new swatch called TextBar as well as an Object Style called TextBar to any document in which you add text bars. You can change the color of all text bars throughout the document by simply adjusting the swatch.You can change the distance from the left-hand side of the text frame, and many other properties of all text bars by modifying the object style called TextBar – the Anchored Object Options of the object style are where you can manipulate the text bar offset from the text frame.The text bars created with the BarredText plug-in are nothing more than anchored rectangles that are filled with the swatch TextBar.At the bottom of each text bar rectangle, you’ll notice there is an additional, tiny rectangle filled with ‘None’ – this little rectangle is the end-marker rectangle. It is non-printing, and it helps the plug-in keep track of the end of the marked text range.The text bar rectangle is anchored to the beginning of the marked text range, and the end-marker rectangle is anchored to the end of the marked text range.You are free to resize or reposition the text bar frame as well as the end-marker frame. This is handy if you want to move the bar further away from the side of the text frame. Requirements: · InDesign Limitations: · 20 days trial period.
