Indesign Question.

[micro]

Is there any way in ID to resize multiple text frames to be the same width without doing it manually one by one? a script or plugin maybe?

[micro]

ahem. anyone?

If your text frames are stacked vertically you can grab the points with the white arrow. It's annoying that with the black arrow you can't resize multiple frames at once.

There really should be a "transform each" option that lets you put in real dimensions, not just percentages. But AFAIK even Illustrator doesn't do that.

if the text boxes existed on a Master then you'd just have to update the master, i think. Otherwise, I dunno.

i have often wondered about this as well....doesnt seem like there is. Mr. ADOBE, are you reading this?

[the hipoisie]

oh, I got it!
1) Resize one box
2) Select all the ones you want to resize
3) go to Object > Transform Again > Transform Again Individually

ok I have a question on something as well....and to put it out there I rarely use In Design...why is it if i place a tiff, jpeg,eps, or pdf, as an image is it that it places it all pixelated? I am trying to place a 300 dpi tiff into this booklet and it keeps dropping it in looking like total shit.

Go under the View options and turn on Overprint Preview.

that's just the preview setting that it's in. Either go to view>Overprint preview, or select the box and rick-click/Command click and go Display performance>high quality preview.
