Default number of columns when you draw a text box?

When you draw a new text box (with the T tool), it is possible to set a number of columns, for example 5 default columns?

Set the number of columns without anything selected. This is the default behavior (in this document). If you want to change it for all new documents, set the number of columns with no document open.

  • Area opacity increases when you select a text box

    I recently updated my OS 10.6.8 to 10.11.6.

    I kept Acrobat 9.5, because I like the layout of the tools much better than in later versions.

    However, with the OS later a new problem arises. When I have the displayed property bar and click on a text box or the caption box, all second row tools remain the same size, but the area opacity becomes 10 times larger! The Ribbon containing it increases as well. Even when there is no selection in progress, once the opacity box balls she remains enormous in all work on this pdf.

    This causes the entire page to jump around while I wait for it to settle.

    I know of three other people who have had this problem, so I hope others have found a solution. I have explored removing the opacity box but can't see how to do it. the property bar appears enabled, no customization.

    Thanks for your help.

    I guess that you are referring to versions of Mac OS X when you say 10.6.8 and 10.11.6. Acrobat 9 is not supported and is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.11, and it is not surprising that you are facing problems. There is nothing you can do except again downgrade your operating system (or run the old version in a virtual machine, but in this case, you must get the server version of 10.6 - only which can be run in a virtual machine), or upgrade your version of Acrobat Acrobat DC.

    How can you get rid of the excess columns when you convert a pdf file to excel? How can you get rid of the excess columns when you convert a pdf file to excel?

    Hi carlk91869849,

    Once a file is converted to excel format, you can select the columns and press the delete button to delete their data.

    If I misinterpreted your question, I would ask to provide more details.

  • funny things happening when you draw a line

    We're talking Ai CS5.

    I have a work plan with a mixture between 2 wavy paths, the kind of thing that you hope that the customer will not ask new :-)

    A path is in line with a horizontal guide at the top on the artboard and down by another.

    I draw a line between the two guides and nowhere segment near the mixture and expect to get just a boring straight line. Instead I'm out a lengthened version of the plantings, starting at the top with the first path and passing all stages of mixing arriving downstairs with the second path.

    Sorry, I have to describe it that way, but when I tried again once it no longer works, so I can't show you the result. Can someone explain what's happened here?

    TIA

    Steven

    Looks like you were in the Mode of insulation of the Blend object - you could accidentally entered this mode without realizing it by double-clicking on the object of the mixture. Now when you draw a simple line, the mixture is getting redesigned because now he sees 3 trails blend instead of the 2 paths.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Larry

    Sound alerts and haptic depend on your settings. To check their:

    On your iPhone, app in the watch, go to: My Watch (tab) > Messages.

    -For example, you might set this parameter to custom, and then, under alerts, select each of the alerts to show, sound and Haptic.

    Also on your iPhone app in the watch, go to: Watch My > sounds & Haptics - check that:

    -The alert Volume selector is where you want it to be;

    -Silent Mode is not enabled;

    -The switch force haptic is in the central position or the right hand.

    -Eminent Haptic is enabled (to get before announcements of current alerts).

  • InDesign stops responding when you change the text of the network. Technicians are baffled!

    Recently my InDesign (CS6 running on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, 8 GB ram) has become almost completely insensitive when I go to open and edit a file off the corporate network. Our technicians have no idea of what is happening and are considering having to re - build my profile as a last resort, as we tried everything.

    A little more of a buton to the problem: when I go to edit a file, InDesign turned off the server it first takes longer than usual to load but finally made. You can scroll through and down the pages, move and resize boxes, place new photos but as soon as you try to do anything based text (edit new text or create a new text box) the program crashes until you have to Task Manager on and kill. It is not a file corupt because if I copy the directory of the file with all the links on my computer hard drive the file works quite well, it's only when editing on the network and when edouble clicking to edit a text.

    What we have done to try to resolve the problem:

    • Reinstal InDesign - no effect
    • Deleted preferences (shift + ctrl + alt + windows key on InDesign startup) - no effect

    Our technicians tried to edit my profile nothing helps registry, and we are all completely at a loss of what is happening. There are several other instances of the program within the company (especially versions 5.5 and one other 6) and they work all files fine edition directly to the output of the network.

    Someone has an idea of what it could be, such a specific problem being only when you're editing text base areas? Technicians do not want to have to re - build my profile because there is a lot of back-end to do to be able to restore immediately.

    Thank you very much in advance for any light on the issue

    So have finally solved us the problem and are currently cracking on the Champagne!

    It turned out to be the network path shortcut I used to access the shared drive where I just change the files to. I work for a restaurant so we have a shared drive where each site can access their files, it's where the food menu files and I had created a shortcut, although accessible the zone made him using a path that had a double backslash in it.

    The true path for the shared drive is \\hm\mydocs\restaurant\menufile.indd and it is the shortcut I used to open the file of. For all other files such as Word, Excel, even other programs like PSE10 and Lightroom Adobe it seems to work correctly. For some reason any InDesign dislikes this path with the double backslash in. As soon as I changed the path of the shortcut to just m:\ (the letter of the drive shared on the network), everything worked again and we can all sleep, he drove us mental. Reinstalled windows, InDesign creates a new network user profile works.

    I hope this can help someone else in a similar situation in the future

  • Can't draw the text box on MasterPage for the numbering of the pages

    I'm spending PageMaker in InDesign CS4. I have a problem of numbering of the pages in my document of 50 pages. I have facing pages and was able to draw a text box on the left side of my Master Page (A) to insert numbers. I now have numbers, that is, 2, 4, 6, etc., printing on the left side of my document pages. (Not sure why paging was applied only to the left.) I was not able to draw a text box on the right side of the Master Page (A) while I can number the odd document pages, if this is the way to go. The right text box does not consume. I googled the problem and tried several different methods, but can not get to the right page numbers. Any help would be appreciated. Uh oh, I fear the saying "you can't teach an old dog monkey" may be applicable.

    Zoom out until you see Master left and right Page (easier is to hit Alt + Ctrl + 0: 'Fit spread in window' in the view menu).

    Copy the box with the page number, you already have and paste it immediately - it should appear somewhere in the neighborhood of the center of your screen.

    Select it with the black arrow (not the white or the text tool) and slide it into place on the right page.

    I just updated my indesign to CC of CS5. One thing I notice which is annoying is some text boxes and images go live. For example, if you close a text box in CS5 you close the box you see reformat the text to set the new size. In CC, the text does not reformat until you are done change the size of the box. It's the same for the images when resizing or rotation re. You don't know what you have until its finished. If you are a little guess instead of see what you're doing while. Is there a way to change this, or does anyone else have this problem. Maybe it's just what does CC. But I'm not a fan... Can anyone help?

  • The existing letters disappear in pdf when I add the text box

    If I get letters in the text disappearing as soon as I type anything in a new text box. I have acrobat pro 8.1 Windows XI.

    My pdf document looks very good. All the text is there that's supposed to be here. I have to add areas of text on some pages, so I click "Add text", I click on any area in my document and the text box appears. As soon as I type anything at all "random" letters disappear throughout my document. I say randomly is a l e meantime, etc, but it's the same letters of the words disappear each time. A month ago, I was working on the very document that does exactly the same thing and had no trouble adding text without letters endangered.

    I've been playing with it for several hours now and I'm ready to punch a hole in the wall.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for 'all' the help (I'm kidding, of course) but I figured it out on my own.

    Tried many, many things and what has worked in the end increased the dpi of the pdf when it was created first. I'd put it at 300 dpi, which was the same default setting for all other documents I created and manipulated without a problem, but for some reason, it does not work now. I tried to 600 dpi and it is fine. All letters remain in place when I add new text boxes. Probably the other ppp settings would also work, but I have not tried.

  • Mobile side.  Using the drop down of your video.  I once put some text on the Mobile page the Menu drops down, but behind the image.  When I remove the text box the menu works correctly.  This also happens with a HTML code placed to Paypal.

    Please check layers panel and put in place the menu item in the list, you can use the layers panel and move up or attempt to move the content.

    If there is still the same, then download a few screenshots of the design view.

    Thank you

    Hi, when I create a text box, and I type text in it, then I resize this text box, I want to see inside moving text at the same time I'm re-sizing of the text box. It does show me not LIVE what is happening inside the text box while I'm re-sizing of the text box and the same goes for the area of the image, I hope I could clarify my question.

    When resizing of a text box, click and hold for a moment before starting to resize. This will allow to see live redesign.
