How to position text in a text field so that it starts in the upper left corner, rather than in the Middle?

Once more, I'm working on another form for the boss.  It is a form of assessment where you make a section for comments.  I know how to select the text field so it will allow several lines, but I can't find a way that allows me to set the starting point of the text in the upper left corner of the text box and then sink.  It always starts in the Center.  If I do the text box too small as an up/down arrow icon is displayed and the user must drag the arrows up or down to read the comments and is not the effect I want to create.

Thank you.

With the field of selected text, switch to the view of paragraph. You can switch between ' change the caption and value ","Change Caption"and"Change value"by clicking on the chevron. Select alignment for the caption and the value.

  • in Acrobat DC - I would like to change the font of a strikethrough text field after that I have check the box next to it.

    I work on a document in Acrobat DC and want to be able to use checkboxes as a checklist. Once the box is checked, I want the police in the text box the box is associated with having a police barred .

    Is this something that needs javascript?

    Textfield name is 4MedHistoryMedication1 , and there already Calibri font type.

    The box is named 4MedHistoryMed_1_RXonFile

    When the 4MedHistoryMed_1_RXonFile checkbox is checked, then the text in 4MedHistoryMedication1 will be Calibri ; So any content text already typed into this text field will get the police barred.

    Don't forget that I'm not familiar with Javascript.

    It will take JavaScript and the text field must be put in place to allow rich text formatting. You will need to set the value by using span in order to set the bar. Here is a sample script for the script of mouse upward to a check box that should help you get started:

    Script mouse upwards to the box

    (function () {}

    Set a Boolean value that indicates whether to set the property for each span made out

    which depends on the State of this check box

    var bStrikethrough = event.target.value! == 'Off '.

    Get a reference to the text field

    var f = getField ("4MedHistoryMedication1");

    Get the value of the text spans tabular field that represents the rich text value

    var aRV_spans = f.richValue;

    Set the property for each span made out

    for (var i = 0; i)< arv_spans.length;="" i="" +="1)">

    aRV_spans [i] .strikethrough = bStrikethrough;

    }

    Update the value of the text field

    f.richValue = aRV_spans;

    })();

  • How to correct text and images that are somehow outside the area of cardboard?

    This is the second document that my layout has mysteriously been presented outside the editing table. I saved this document yesterday and everything was fine. Today, there is a connection of several pages text box link, but on 4 pages my text and images have disappeared from the actual page and the table surrounding mount, but it shows the link text box later in the grey area. The last time I had to delete and re-create the pages, but don't have the time. I tried selecting all and using the arrow key to move everything, but he mistakes "this value would cause one or more objects to leave the editing table. I also tried selecting all and downward revision to 10% to bring it to the page or the editing table, but the same error. Any other suggestions? Screenshot below.

    It's a really long shot, but it would be interesting to .idml export and opening that. (see delete minor corruption by exporting)

    A normal 'substring' is what you're looking for.

    For a formula of the column in the response criteria tab:

    SUBSTRING ("YourPresTable". "YourPresColumn" OF 9)

    To make the RPD and the workload of shipping off the coast to the database rather than forcing the work on the server of the OBI or presentation:

    Substring ("01 - Sample App Data (ORCL)" ".." ") "" "BISAMPLE '." " D10 product (dynamic table)". ("' Prod_Dsc ' 9)

  • Enter multiple lines in a text box &amp; display the upper left corner

    I have forms where a large amount of comment might be entered in the form - perhaps an entire page.  When I create a large text box and allow multiple lines, the currently entered text displays in the center of the box and expands to fill the box, upwards or downwards to the Center.  Is it possible to have force the text you entered appear in the upper left corner of the box and flow down.  It's a box that people have written, is how they would do it.

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Click on the object and the palette of fonts (maybe it's not visible - you can activate in the window menu) click the paragraph on this menu, you can choose the text alignment.

  • How to change the upper-left corner of the multicolumn listbox?

    Can I change the properties of the cell (-1, -1), but I don't know how to change the text.

    Is it too simple or impossible?

    Kind regards

    Ljubo.

    In Excel, you cannot change the headers of columns (A, B, c...) and headers of lines (1, 2, 3,...).

    I have a 2D data table Y a 1 d of data table X. data of X are the same for all the columns of Y. The first idea was to use X values as row headings to give him special attention. There should be a header above the data of X (name, quantity, unit,...). See the example below.

    The solution is very simple: I created a label and put it on the upper left corner of the listbox.

    Good day

  • Get the position of the upper left corner?

    Hey guys,.

    by geometricBounds [1] and geometricBounds [0], I can get the starting positions of my objects.

    In my case I need the position of the upper left corner. When you rotate an object, the geometricBounds always reflect a bounding box so that I can not get the desired coordinates.

    How can I get the properties of the "points of departure" (the upper left corner of my object)?

    Thank you very much!

    You have entered the field coordination complex spaces here.

    In short, you can use resolve() to find the anchor points on one

    object. But you have to decide in what coordinate space to get the

    results.

    Your best bet is probably to use spread coordinates. The point 0,0

    who is in the middle of spread.

    So, given a pageItem i, try:

    i.Resolve (AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR, CoordinateSpaces.SPREAD_COORDINATES);

    My younger sister run my firefox just to this afternoon (she origin use IE), and she saw something that is not visible. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone must enter the password before running firefox?

    Another option is the master password + extension.

    You must first make sure that Firefox uses a master password, for more details on how to do that see use a master password to protect stored logins and passwords. Then with the master password + extension in its options, go to the getting started section and make sure that "ask for password at startup" and "Exit if cancelled" is selected both.

    As with all extensions, this protection is quite weak and can be bypassed if start you Firefox in safe mode that disables extensions.
