Question

Panel for holding text (not notes panel) and a search internet contextual menu option

I often get text sent to me via email which I then copy and paste to a frame in the pasteboard, but sometimes the document is hundreds of pages long and the changes are throughout.

Would really love a Panel for just Holding Text - I use Notepad at the moment but have to switch back and forth.

The notes panel doesn't work for me because you have ot be active within the Notes for the Panel to be available, and when you are in the Notes Panel the other Tools are not available.

The other thing I think would be very nifty is a "Serach Internet" and it would look up that word(s) in your browser... not sure if that's possible. But would be neat.

Hi,

you may have a look at this swiss forum thread to solve your second wish:

Edit:

you could name the textframe stored at the pasteboard in the layerspanel and store it for further use in a library.

This named Textframe could be moved by script to the active page ...

var myTargetTextFrame = app.activeDocument.pageItems.itemByName('Muster');//name of your Textframe
var currBounds = myTargetTextFrame.geometricBounds;
var myTargetPage = app.layoutWindows[0].activeSpread;
myTargetTextFrame.move(myTargetPage);
myTargetTextFrame.geometricBounds = currBounds;

Hello,

There is a script here.

which offers a different view on ID notes.
