I'm stuck pasting frames as anchored objects, but this would be way easier. I searched AI help to see if I could export the character style, no luck, ID doesn't seem to have the Asian type options (just "Inline input for non-Latin text," which doesn't help). <BR/><BR/>Is there any way you know to get this into ID short of converting to outlines then cop/paste, which isn't really practical, or setting books in AI, which is impossible?<BR/><BR/>ps--great site--I've been browsing for an hour, and I'm not even much of an AI userAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-59913713876707789942007-12-30T19:51:00.000-05:002007-12-30T19:51:00.000-05:00Yep, it was in one of my video podcasts... but it ...Yep, it was in one of my video podcasts... but it obviously wasn't searchable and the server that I used to use for my podcasts no longer exists.

I've found that it depends on the font you use. Trajan seems to leave an odd space there (easily fixed with a little kerning), but for example, when I used Univers, the alignment was fine. I got different results with different typefaces. Why is this happening? It might be related to some small underlying issues within the type engine. For example, if you use the character rotation attribute, you get weird spacing which also requires some manual kerning adjustment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01795570164435872662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113929.post-4909971827828890102007-12-27T15:58:00.000-05:002007-12-27T15:58:00.000-05:00Did you notice, that the right justification isn't...Did you notice, that the right justification isn't correct on the two small lines?

This technique is a real time saver and much easier than using tables or inline frames.<BR/><BR/>One thing I would recommend after successfully using Mordy's simple technique, is to turn off Hyphenation first. Also, I couldn't find the Warichu option in Photoshop CS3 after turning the "Show Asian Options" preference on, so maybe Illustrator offers the only complete answer to this layout problem. Fortunately, I could copy and past from AI to PS successfully with just a few adjustments necessary afterward.<BR/><BR/>tom<BR/>(aka Plumeragent)<BR/>-----Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
