Change the color of the text just highlighting the placeholder text

Hello

Is this possible with Indesign CS6 to simply change the color of the text when I just click on the placeholder instead of having to highlight the text in the placeholder every hour.

This is done in Illustrator, but when I do the same in Indesign, it's the bottom of the placeholder that changes color and not the text.

I want to be able to click on several areas of placeholder text and just change the color of the text when required?

Thank you

Select the text block with the selection tool, and then press the letter (J) on the keyboard. and the Swatches palette or color, select your color.

  • Change background color of TLF text. How do I?

    Hello

    I have to TLF text (read-only) with the name of sMath10 inside MovieClip named content10. I want to chage the backgorund color from white to gray when the value of the text under 26 then. How can I do that. Please?

    Kind regards

    It's sMath10 is a valid reference in the scope of your code using the following syntax.  otherwise, try content10.sMath10 instead of sMath10 (if content10 is defined in the scope of your code).

    sMath10.background = true;

    sMath10.backgroundColor = 0xff0000;

  • I need to know how to change a color of vector

    Whenever I paste this particular vector of black and change the color, all of the marquee for the vector changes this color. I want just the vector itself to change the image. The "?" leads me to believe that the vector doesn't have even a filling so when I change the color for the selected set area rather than just the shape. I looked at how to generate a fill, but this doesn't seem to be in the latest version of illustrator. I just want to change a few lines, from black to white. Help? (Thanks in advance)

    John,

    It seems that if you have a group or something, with different fill properties.

    What happens if you try Alt/OptionClick of the object real change with the direct Selection tool, and then see and try again, if possible?

    You may also look in the layers palette with the (relevant) layer expanded and may select the real object there.

    I use pages 4.3 and earlier of passage to 5.6.2 - I just tried to highlight a word in a document and change the color - nothing happened.  Tried selecting the color first, and then type a new Word and that doesn't work either.  Am I missing something?  Is there any quick way to the color of the text in 5.6.2?

    To well highlight a word or a selection of words in the v5.6.2, Pages you will need to select the text, click the image below on the gear watch icon and set the fill color of your character. To remove the highlight, select your text, click in the ink of fill color of characters and click transparency icon in the lower right.

  • How to change the highlight color for text

    I am trying to select and highlight some text in the PDF file. Here is my sample code. I want to change the color of the highlighted text. Something similar to what the tool select text in acrobat.

    Hilite HiliteEntry;

    Hilite.Offset = 10;  Highlight the tenth Word

    AVDoc currentAVDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();

    CurrentPDDoc PDDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc (currentAVDoc);

    Thanks a lot for the help so far. So, I was successfully able to create a text selection highlight annotation. Here is my code, if someone else have similar questions.

    More a question. in my highlight annotation, I get two rounded half-circles to the left and the right. Don't know why?

    How to change the highlight color, click the button image and text and sound. are there packages of buttons for use in my project?

    Hello

    Even if the point of things based Web links buttons created using them is of simple images. Captivate uses simple images. If you need to put your creative hat and not to let the fact that you see the word 'web' scared you somehow. An image is an image. Use on the web, use Captivate. Same case!

    If you change the properties of the button, you can activate the legend of success. Fix any sound that you like with the legend of success and it will play when you click the button. If you do not want to see the legend of success, delete the text and configure it as transparent.

  • Change the text color with the eyedropper tool

    I've seen cc Photoshop tutorials where you can change the text color by using the eyedropper tool on the color swatch Panel. When the text is selected and the color swatch Panel is open. When I chose is which color I want out the color swatch Panel all them it does to change the foreground color and return to the soil box, why it changes the color of the text, as I have seen in tutorials?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    When highlighted often is difficult to tell what color the text. You can work around this by doing the above, pressing ctrl-H or cmd - H on the keyboard and the highlight will be removed, but the text remains selected. Its exactly the same procedure that you use to make the mobile dotted lines disappear just leaving an active selection. Obviously the text tool must be still in use for all this to work with text.

  • Muse is not let me change the color of the text in different States - "changes to text can be edited or formatted by the State [...]"

    When I watch tutorials on the buttons of the State etc.. I see that Muse allows you to select different States, then highlight the text and change the color to set the color of the text in this State.

    But whenever I select the State I want to change, and then select my text and change its color, it changes the color of all States as a default color to be applied only for a State.

    I get the message "text ranges cannot be edited or formatted by the State. Change to this mode effect all States. "in the window of the States while text is highlighted.

    But people seem to be able to do it just like that. Any help is very appreciated.

    Hello

    States are associated with blocks of text rather than the text itself. Please make sure that the entire text block is selected instead of text to apply changes on different States.

    Please see the attachment.

  • Impossible to change the color of the text

    I have a simple illustrator document with a text on this subject.  The text is green.  I would like to add additional text in the document to the exact shade of green that the current text is in.  Believe it or not, I can't understand how to do this.  I can choose the text I want to be green, and select a color from the menu color chart, but shades of green available there is not the exact shade of green that I need.  I tried to select my newly written text, click on the eyedropper tool and then clicked on my old text (which is in the shadow of the Greens I want), but this change desperately police my text newly written in the same font as the original text, without changing its color.

    If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.  Please be detailed in your response/instructions.  Thank you

    I thought about it!

    So, in short... the green color you have on the word CAR is a gradient. If you look closely you can see the small pieces of black on the edges of the word. Black is the color of the original text, and the Green gradient is sitting on it like an apparition. It's a bit complicated that you can't just apply a color gradient to live text but here is how you work around it.

    1 save the green color (gradient) as a sample by selecting the word CAR and dragging the filling above your Swatches Panel icon.

    2. then, select the text you want to change (the word 'In'). Change it there so no fill and no respect.

    3. with this same word selected, open the appearance Panel. In the menu drop-down control panel, choose Add new fill...

    4. He will choose automatically black. Just open the fill option and choose the shade you did step 1.

    5 Bam! This is your desired filling.

    6. as a step further, if you want to get rid of the black text which is peeping out, just behind the green on the word CAR use the text tool and highlight the word car.

    7. in the fill section, click on the small thumbnail of black to select and then click the option (no white box with red slash) to remove it.

    8. here you go, clean lines.

    I don't know if you wanted to have a green gradient on your text, or if you wanted just a green color. Here, I saw the solution to apply a gradient to text alive and reproducing the same gradient on other pieces of text.

    I hope this helps solve your problem, if it has not already been resolved!

  • How to change the text color in CS4

    Hey everybody. I know I'm not comfortable in Dreamweaver, but had DW8 before moving to CS4 and I'm pretty handy with it. In version 8, if I wanted to change a text color, I simply highlighted text and choose a color. No worries.

    However in CS4, I seem to be only have this ability in my CSS, (not the HTML properties) properties. Then, when I try to change the color, it gives me a dialog box asking questions such as 'new CSS', 'for this page only", etc. and I don't understand what I'm supposed to do.

    Can someone tell me in a friendly way (step by step) how to change just one color of text on a page? I went to help and he said to use the color picker, but brings back me to my original problem.

    I'm either something terribly wrong or ADOBE did a simple task in the brain surgery!

    Thanks in advance for the help!
