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!

  • 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.

    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.

  • Can not change the text because of letters being cut into several pieces.

    I use Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 in Windows 7. I'm trying to enter-set a file and some lines of text are not editable on a regular basis. When you select a letter, it is cut in a bunch of small images, making it impossible to change the font. The customer wants the title on their business card for United Nations in bold, and I'm unable to change the title. How can I release the return type of an editable form?

    Thank you

    Sin.

    I do not know what type of objects you have in your file, but you can give it a shot with the color of the background on the text object. Keep in mind even if it can work for you is not the way type is designed for a thinner font. So, the quality of the design may not be up to a professional level.

  • Please help; Impossible to change the position of my wallpaper!

    I know this isn't a big problem; but I would like it's working properly anyway.  I tried a new image for my wallpaper, and it showed as an image full screen.  I didn't like it then, immediately, I went back to the original image, and it was too full screen.  I went to the desktop background and the position is as I've had with a frame black (I also tried other colors) around the image, but it was not of themselves.  I tried all the different positions and nothing will change.  The image will change, but any image I try is full screen.

  • Acrobat Standard DC - can't change the text and text box properties

    Earlier this week, I lost the ability to change the properties of the text and text boxes.

    When I add a comment with a text box or in the text caption, I do all the time, I used to be able to change the font color, size, alignment, etc.

    Now, when I go to insert a text box or the legend, all the options in the properties bar are grayed out.

    This issue effects ONLY the text in the box and the caption functions. all the other drawing functions work very well. I can change the color, fill and the type of lines around the text, I can just change the text.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

  • How to change the text in a form published in LCD / Acrobat 9?

    I have therefore some minor changes to a form that was created in LCD 9 and Acrobat 9 Pro.  Apparently, this seemingly simple task is now impossible with the newer versions.  When I try to edit in Acrobat XI I get the message "this form cannot be changed in Acrobat" but I have no way to change the text on LCD.

    Users of release forms 9 really blocked?

    Yes, it looks like you used to be able to directly edit the pdf 'work' base layer in a LCD pdf.

    The painful solution was to:

    (1) copy the shape of the LCD for a background version

    (2) select and delete ALL the objects in the LCD screen of the form of the background

    (3) use print-to-pdf to create a non - LCD of the shape of the background version

    (4) clean form pdf print background objects,

    (5) use Acrobat XI to edit the text

    (6) open the original form in LCD and then edit-> work replace to replace the background pdf with the updated release of step 5

    (7) maintain the layer background for the changes to come

    This is quite annoying, because with the old version was the only step:

    (1) open the pdf in Acrobat and edit text

    In any case, thanks for the info. I'm not sure what was the logic behind this downgrade XI, but it was enough of a very negative experience that I'll do everything I can to avoid pdf for Adobe products in the future.

  • Change the text in the textfield does not work

    Hello!

    Another problem, I do not know how to solve:

    I have a dynamic textfield, which lies in a graph, and based on this graphic I designed a movieclip with interpolations of fade-in and bland-out of this graph.

    However, when I play the movieclip (ctrl + enter) and I want to change the text in the textfield with textMovieclip.textfield.text = "NewText"; the text is correctly set, but the textfield object disappears from the display. When I play this movieclip with the defaulttext I put in the textfield (without changing this text) everything works fine.

    Fonts required are integrated, I is not serious if I change the text before playing the movieclip or after and textfield is not only in the back behind the scenes. And for example to change the color of the defaulttext works without any problem.

    What have I forgotten? Do I have to put another value also?

    Welcome, Tschouba

    It's not like you have activated your textfield object autoSize property. or is your hidden textfield? and using something else than a simple 'u' in music and about?
