Adobe Illustrator Text plug-ins with 2 important functions: restore flowable text boxes, and to be able to apply tab leadering in Adobe Illustrator (version 8 and higher).

The Text Restore function will turn out to be very useful when you are working on files in Adobe Illustrator that were originated in another applications, and that were converted to Illustrator over EPS or PDF: one of the problems resulting from such a workflow is that all (flowable) text boxes in the original applications are converted to a set of text objects in Illustrator, therefore limiting the editability, or making editing this text cumbersome and expensive.

The Text Restore tool does not change the fact that text is converted to point text on import, but it gives you the ability to restore paragraphs from a collection of point text items.

The Tab Leader function finally allows uses to simply create ingredient and food menu text boxes where you dont need white space between the items, but a line of dots ...

Whether youre adding visual background noise, using text as a texture, or flashing up words to reinforce some other idea in the piece, text is an important element of your composition.
It is also one of the more difficult elements to animate in most applications. We aim to simplify that.
Text Anarchy is a set of 8 plugins to speed up text animation in After Effects or Final Cut Pro.
Design terrific background elements with our particle system. Create common effects like typing-on text and sequencing lines without using layers, masks, or even keyframes
Some of the filters use particle systems specifically designed for text. Others allow the animation of characters on a letter by letter basis. And still others use paths to control the look and attributes of the text.

The Text Grabber XTensions module to QuarkXPress provides a unique new way for the QuarkXPress operator to select and modify text. Rather than drag-selecting text the old-fashioned way, the Text Grabber tool lets you Marquee a complete page area instead. This selection method lets you choose exactly which text you wish to change, spanning multiple text boxes if necessary.
Text Grabber is incredibly easy to use. Simply select the Text Grabber tool from the QuarkXPress tool palette, and drag the marquee around any page area you wish to modify. The selected area remains marqueed for easy reference, and the operator is presented with a dialog similar to the XPress Character... dialog.
Any changes entered into the Text Grabber dialog will be applied to all text within the marqueed area, regardless of which boxes contain the text. Change any text attribute you want: font, size, color--even the track amount, scale or baseline shift. You can even load the text attributes associated with your favorite style sheet.
Version restrictions:
- Changes made to a document cannot be saved.
