CS3 Mac: Text white becomes black when the file is reopened

System: PowerBook G4, Illustrator CS3.0.2 and OS 10.4.11
I have attached a sample (only 85ko) in this position, and there is a to http://homepage.Mac.com/tlmurray/filechute/WTTB_sample.AI . The sample has two layers. The background is black and locked; the top layer contains the text. This sequence illustrates the problem:
  1. Launch Illustrator and make sure that the Panel of colors and character Styles Panel are open, and you are in preview mode.
  2. Open the example file. It appears as a black rectangle.
  3. Select the text by area or by i-Beam, is not serious. The text covers the rectangle, so you can target anywhere.
  4. Note the character Style Panel. You will see that the Normal Character Style entry does not have a sign, Illustrator, says the text matches the style +.
  5. Redefine the Normal Character Style by double-clicking it, choose the color of characters and click the shade of white.
  6. The text becomes white.  Good so far.
  7. Save and close the file.
  8. Reopen the file. On my system, the text changes to black.

Another similar sequence is to transform the white text by clicking on the white background in the color Panel or swatches, the accomplishment of a "Redefine character Style" in the list of options panels.

Anyone see this? Y at - it a trick I'm missing?

The problem isn't your Style of character!

The problem is that your white is not a color.

To see this, when you open your character styles and choose your "hue" white, is dimmed, since you can only color tint.

To resolve this issue, double-click your white swatch so that it opens the box of color options. under the colour / spot color box check the option of 'Global' .

Now, close the box options and go to you style of character and select white, you will notice color is now available.

Close and save, problem solved

He will explain why white resets, since illustrator does not recognize it as a color and the default values in black. However, every time you do one other color it is resolved and what makes the only consistent problem with the shade of white.

Tested and worked for me.  Hope it solves for you.

  • Compaq presario cq42 screen becomes black when the external monitor is unplugged

    Compaq presario cq42-137tu running windows 7 32 bit.

    I've been using a connected external display on the vga port and now every time I disconnect the monitor and restart the laptop the laptop LCD screen will display the original message of compaq and the black windows boot screen with the logo but then turns off. If I reconnect the extrnal monitor it will work fine (even if the external monitor is turned off)

    The screen of the laptop works fine without the external monitor connected in safe mode.

    I used both the HP support and the setting in the display panel to select single monitor and set the display on the screen of the laptop, but every time that the external monitor is not connected the screen turns off. The external screen does not need to be turned on, just to connect to the laptop monitor work. I also tried to download the graphics driver and put it back.

    If your laptop is a ComPaq base model then there is the (built-in) Intel UMA / GMA 4500 M - GL40 chipset with video memory sharing and you should consider downloading and installing the driver Intel graphics high definition (HD).

  • Captivate 5 - Quiz fades to black when the file is published

    Hi all

    I am using Captivate 5 and I am trying to publish a quiz as an exe, however once it is published and I see - screen screen turns black and nothing happens. I have to interrupt the session.

    I also tried to copy and paste the questionnaire into another project and run as a SWF in this project, I joined in and now the entire project crashes.

    Do know that if someone else did the experiment - I joined a picture like on the mask of the slides in my quiz, this might be the reason why it crashes?

    Thanks in advance!

  • PDF forms have problems displaying text and only appears when the field is selected

    Hello

    I created pdf forms to be distributed to the clients of the company. But we have some people complain about the visibility of the text. When they work as a team, the pdf they receive from a third party often appears limes or no text, the text is only visible when the field is selected. I need to find a solution for this, because our company's products are based on this form.

    If there is any information addition that I must add to understand what is happening and how to fix it, I'll be happy to write it.

    In society, we all have mac and forms where innitially created in Adobe acrobat 9 pro, but we now have Adobe acropabt pro XI.

    Users of Mac and Windows systems.

    Thank you

    This is usually caused by the form is filled out and saved by a Mac user who uses the preview application to view the PDF file. More information is here: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

    It's a good idea to inform your users that Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) should be used to work with Forms.

  • White falls when the file is printed.

    I have a white logo on a dark background. The logo consists of a mark with the text below. When the file printed brand appeared, but the text does not. It's on my record, my screen, my internal evidence, the final pdf and proof of the printer. The only place where that he gave was on the final printed piece...

    I had happen in the past with other logos and told me that the fix was to always use files .ai and .eps not. I was also told to add 1% of another color to any all white illustrator. These changes appear to have worked in the past. I did these two things to this file and it still gives up.

    The final file was built in InDesign and has been provided to the printer as a PDF, high resolution and a collected file.

  • AVI background becomes black when sequenced

    The background (blue sky) becomes black when I put my avi in first. Avi is rendered with 3ds max. Anyway to fix this? I prefer the blue of the sky .

    My guess is that the AVI has an embedded alpha channel. If this is the case, try this:

    Right-click on the item in the project Panel, go to edit > interpret footage and select 'Ignore Alpha Channel' checkbox in the Panel that appears.

    If this does not work, post back with a screenshot of your properties file, as shown in the first, or an application like GSpot (I guess that you're on a PC).

  • The text element values value when the user clicks a report line.

    The text element values value when the user clicks a report line.

    I have a report based on the EMP table and two elements P911_EMPNO, P911_DEPTNO. When I click on one of the lines the EMPNO and DEPTNO is copied to the text elements.
    It works fine if I leave the EMPNO and DEPTNO as SHOW report, but if I then these clear values are not retrieved the report form (my javascript is very limited).

    I need a method to retrieve the data hidden in the report and display in the text without the reposting of the page elements.

    Also, would be nice if the line was highlighted until another line is clicked but especially is my priority.

    Elements
    P911_EMPNO, P911_DEPTNO (field of disabled text, saves the State)

    Report
    Select * from emp using the model of report below.

    Custom model.

    Hello

    When you use this type of report model, you actually control on where the column values are used - and they can be used several times.

    For example, a setting of 'Model line 1' for one such model could be:

    <tr>
    <td class="c1">#1#</td>
    <td class="c2">#2#</td>
    <td class="c2">#3#</td>
    <td class="c2">#4#</td>
    <td class="c3">#5#</td>
    </tr>
    

    #1 # fact refers to the data in the first column, #2 # for the second and so on. So you can do:

    <tr onclick="javascript:dosomething('#1#','#2#');">
    <td class="c1">#1#</td>
    <td class="c2">#2#</td>
    <td class="c2">#3#</td>
    <td class="c3">#5#</td>
    </tr>
    

    For example, by clicking on the line would trigger the dosomething() function and pass in that the values of the first and second columns. Also note that the 4 # does not appear now - this column is 'hidden' (but note that you must check the box to show the column)

  • Look for the timestamp when the file is moved

    I want to find when my file is moved from one folder to another folder with in the same drive. Suppose I have a text file and I just cut this file to a folder and paste to another folder, but in the same drive then I see that none of the date changes i.e. Date_created, date_de_modification, Date_Accessed. Could any body tell me how can I identify when the file is moved from one place to the other place.

    Can anyone help please as it is necessary in an emergency.

    Thanks in advance!

    I suggest you do this:

    1. Change the first two lines of the script more far down to suit your needs.
    2. Save the script as Filemonitor.vbs in an appropriate place.
    3. Invoke the script from a command prompt. He will continue to run in the background until you press Ctrl + C.
    4. Add a file in the target folder. Within 10 seconds, you should see the output in the log file.
    5. Add the name of the script to your startup or logon script so that it runs automatically.

    sTargetFolder = "D:\Test."
    sLogfile = "D:\Log.txt".

    Set OFSO = CreateObject ("Scripting.Filesystemobject")
    «sFldr = "" "" & Replace (sTargetFolder, "-","-") & "»
    Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
    Set cMonitoredEvents = oWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _
    ("SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE" _)
    & "Targetinstance ISA"CIM_DirectoryContainsFile"and"_ ".
    (& ' TargetInstance.GroupComponent ='Win32_Directory.Name = "& sFldr &" ' ")
    Do
    Set oLatestEvent = cMonitoredEvents.NextEvent
    Set oLog = oFSO.OpenTextFile (sLogfile, 8, True)
    oLog.WriteLine Date() & "" & time & "" & Replace (oLatestEvent.TargetInstance.PartComponent, "-","-" "")
    oLog.Close

  • Re-read in values in the measurement file when the file is updated

    Hello

    I'm trying to control a power supply with labview and adjust the tension. I currently work reading in a file and measures affecting the value in the file. I now have the question I want to update this value when the file is modified, as read in the file again when it is updated and set the voltage again. I've tried several things, but if I put the file in the while loop, then it plays once and then returns 0 after the first loop. Outside the while loop it reads only the initial value.

    I'm quite new to labview so any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you
