SoftCare Overset Manager 5.1

The SoftCare Overset Manager plug-in for Adobe InDesign CS and Adobe InCopy CS gives you complete control over text length and text overset, enabling you to count, display, edit and print overset text. SoftCare Overset Manager is the ideal tool for everybody dealing with text-intensive files on a regular basis.


With SoftCare Overset Manager you can choose to automatically show or hide overset frames for the selected text flow or all text flows on the page. The overset frames are attached to the bottom right corner of the text frame or to the last text frame of a text flow. They are highlighted with a light yellow background color. The background color makes it easy to spot instances of text overset on an InDesign file, thus helping to prevent costly mistakes.

SoftCare Overset Manager calculates text length by number of characters, words, lines and manuscript lines. You can measure the length of text in the current selection, text column or text flow, and see values for the text that fits in the text frames as well as for overset text, separately. The SoftCare Overset Manager palette allows you to measure the current text selection against the remaining amount of overset text for easy and precise copyfitting.
