vjoon Overset Manager Description

A plug-in for Adobe InDesign and Adobe InCopy CS or CS2 that gives you complete control over text length The Overset Manager plug-in for Adobe InDesign and Adobe InCopy gives you complete control over text length and text overset, enabling you to count, display, edit and print overset text. Overset Manager increases production security by warning you if the document contains overset when you print or export a file. Overset Manager is the ideal tool for everybody dealing with text-intensive files on a regular basis.With Overset Manager, you can see at a glance if a file contains overset and which text threads are affected. And you can show or hide overset frames for the selected text flow or all text flows on the page. From the Overset Manager palette, you can go directly to a specific overset frame, and start editing the text.Additionally, you will be alerted when printing or exporting a document containing overset text. With its extensive feature set, Overset Manager significantly increases the level of production security and helps to prevent costly mistakes.Preferences can be set to determine the background color of overset frames, as well as their position relative to their master frame. Overset frames can be placed comfortably at the top right corner in the document so that even long overset text will be visible. Alternatively, overset text frames could be placed to the left of the original text frame when using right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew.By counting placeholder text, Overset Manager allows you to determine the exact text length needed to fill a text thread in order to give correct instructions to an editor. Overset Manager calculates text length by number of characters, words, lines and manuscript lines. The length of manuscript lines is set in the Overset Manager preferences. By setting the preference to a decimal number, e.g. 5.5, it is also possible to calculate the number of standard words needed to fill the text frame.You can measure the length of text in the current selection, text column or text thread, and see values for the text that fits in the text frames as well as for overset text, separately. The Overset Manager palette enables you to measure the current text selection against the remaining amount of overset text for easy and precise copyfitting. If a text frame is not completely filled with text, the palette displays an estimate number of missing lines for underset text. Here are some key features of "vjoon Overset Manager": · calculates values for text column, text selection or text thread · text column or text thread can be calculated even when selecting part of the content with the text tool, as the type of selection is set in the plug-in palette always shows the amount of overset to a text thread, even when counting just part of the fitting text · shows text length when selecting a text frame with the selection tool · offers preferences for setting the number of characters per manuscript line · number of characters per manuscript line can be integers or decimal numbers, e.g. to estimate the number of average words by setting the value to 5.8 · counts only line per table row when calculating tables · shows how many lines and tables are included in the overset part of the text · added preference to choose the position of the overset frames · added preference for the background color of the overset frames · a drop down menu to jump to the overset and yellow background in the palette if overset exists · added warnings about overset in the document before output · estimate number of missing lines for underset text threads Requirements: · Adobe InDesign · Adobe InCopy · If you are using K4 Publishing System - K4 Publishing System 5.1 or higher Limitations: · 30 days trial
