Newbie: Can't find a way to resize the text area box

I know it's really basic, however, of all things, I can't resize objects including text area boxes.

I draw the box, put a small text in it and then using the tool selection click on the box.  Instead to get the sizing handles, I get little black boxes in the corners.

When I hover over them the pointer turns white but a click-and - drag only moves the object.

I know it's something simple.but far...


Thank you

Tom,

Turn on the bounding box.

View | See the bounding box

Mac: Command + SHIFT + B

Win: Ctrl + Shift + B

With the text in the box, the sizing handles are available when the selection tool is active.

    Got the new update and it works very well

    Instructions say to copy text email or web a "yellow Highlight" is displayed.  What is this reference to?  This isn't even proper English...

    In the menu, I can choose SELECT ALL, but what happens if I want to only strongly certain parts of a Web page or an e-mail?

    What is this "yellow Highlight" referring?

    Hold the shift and type the text on the screen. Type several guard zones selecting and they will turn yellow. To then copy the area hold a finger on the gesture area up until the button lights, and press C on the keyboard, this copy.

  • Whenever I open iphoto 09 (8.1.2), it makes advertising ilife 11. However I can't find any way to do the upgrade.

    Everytime I open iphoto 09 (8.1.2), he announced the upgrade to ilife 11. However I can't find any way to do the upgrade. I don't think that this computer can handle the upgrade to yosemit and photos. I'm operating a white macbook memory 1.5 GB with osX 10.7.5. IPhoto has apparently been abandoned for the photo. But where does that leave us with older equipment?

    If you don't want to or cannot run El Capitan on your Mac, buy a DVD of iLife 11 from a source like Amazon or eBay.

  • Can not find a way to launch the program (Adobe Photoshop 4, 0LE) on the network.

    Original title: Windows 3.x apps Windows 7 migration

    I have a hard drive of a computer that ran the XP - Pro SP3.  He got the full operating system, as well as my documents, and quite a few requests in this regard, I would like to use.  The drive is now in one of these cases speedboat that allows to make it transportable.   Now, I received a somewhat newer, faster PC running Windows 7 Home, and I mounted the HARD drive and domestic system-7 on my network.    I can open the HARD drive.

    I have a request, old Adobe Photoshop 4, 0LE, that does what I need on the network HARD drive.   I have the original disc and the serial number.   I can't understand how to launch the program on the network.

    I prefer to install the application on the new machine directly from the CD, but I don't get an auto-run switch that allows me to install.   I can read all the files on the disk; and I can find (7) at the command line prompt, but I forgot my ms - dos and can't remember to install or execute commands.  I can't find a switch 'install new software' as I'm used to. just a switch 'uninstall '.  This is not convenient.

    So: can I install my drive to source original CD on my 7 newish machine app?  Or can I run it 7 on my outboard HDD network?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    4 Photoshop is old and is not compatible with recent versions of Windows. Its installer is 16 bit, so may not work on 64-bit Windows.

    If you have Windows 7 Professional or higher you could use XP Mode and install PS4 in that or use http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx.

    You might install VirtualBox and try https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows .

  • Can not find a way to bypass the Group

    The following query runs as is, but only because I have included IntervForcl, IsSpecial , in the group by clause. I don't want group by these things, that month. I have no idea how to write this query, do what I want, I tried everything. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    The end result is supossed to look something like this:

    PostedDate RushMargin NonRushMargin InteriorMargin

    2013.01 65.4% 42% 21.5%

    2013.02 62.7% 43.5% 32%

    2013.03 67.3% 41.1% 29.8%

    SELECT CONVERT (varchar (7), APPostedWhen, 102) AS [PostedDate].

    [InteriorMargin] = BOX

    WHEN intervforcl = 'k' THEN CAST (((APAMOUNT) AVG / AVG (ARAMOUNT)) * 100 AS DECIMAL (12,2))

    END,

    [RushMargin] = BOX

    WHEN IsSpecial = '1' CAST (((APAMOUNT) AVG / AVG (ARAMOUNT)) * 100 AS DECIMAL (12,2))

    END,

    [NonRushMargin] = BOX

    WHEN IsSpecial <>'1' THEN CAST (((APAMOUNT) AVG / AVG (ARAMOUNT)) * 100 AS DECIMAL (12,2))

    END

    Inspections

    WHERE DATEDIFF (MONTH, APPostedWhen, SYSDATETIME ()) < 6 AND ARAMOUNT > 0 AND APAMOUNT > 0

    GROUP OF CONVERT (varchar (7), APPostedWhen, 102)IntervForcl, IsSpecial

    ORDER BY [PostedDate]

    It is a forum for oracle pl/sql.

    What you think you have TSQL.

    However we need conditions case inside aggregate functions, I guess.

    as

    CAST ((AVG (affaire quand intervforcl = 'k' alors fin APAMOUNT) / AVG (case...)) (ARAMOUNT)) * 100 AS DECIMAL (12,2))

    and so on.

    Be careful on the way in which the aggregate function deal with NULL values.

  • Any project not related, can't find a way to bind the clips into edited sequences

    I had a guy edit video for me and I have its hard drive.  I copied everything on my hard drive and open the project Premiere Pro, it allows to change the project.  Everything appears, I can see the sequences and changes.  But when I try to view his work, he simply says "media offline".  I tried to do it through his hard drive, same thing.   Premiere Pro does not automatically link the files of the way I think it is supposed to do, and I can't understand how I'm supposed to do.  When I'm in a sequence, if I select a clip or not, the 'link' tab project up there is gray.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks, Ron

    I understood the question.  Not one that I expected.  I had assumed that the guy who edited this video for me provided me with all the video files.  There, not even close.  Ugh.  Stalking him now.

    Magnifier very occasionally active.  Seems to have nothing to do with a particular program or action.  The option does not appear to be verified in the ease of access options. I have a totally useless feature that makes the barely usable machine.  The only way I found so far to recover the problem is to close everything and restart.

    Check that the control panel - mouse - perhaps a button is set to magnify

    Start button - all programs - accessories - Ease of Access Center

    Click on - make the computer easier to use

    -Uncheck turn on Magnifier - OK

  • Resize the text without scale text block

    Hi people,

    Is it possible to resize a text frame without scaling the text in the 2014 AI CC SDK?

    I'm working on an AI CC 2014 plug-in and need to resize a text frame without scaling of the text. However, I'm not having a bit of luck to find how to do this. Is what I want to resize the text block in the Type area Options Panel makes, but I'm not able to understand how what classes/methods it uses, or whether they are still exposed in the SDK of.

    I tried to use sAITransformArt->TransformArt(), but I can't find a way to stop the text to scale with the text block. I considered, after processing, reformat the text which has been nationally, but that doesn't seem right.

    My current thinking is to move the text of the framework which should be scaling in a new block of text size correctly, and then delete the existing framework, but before that, I thought I would ask here see if do I it's harder it must be because I'm missing something.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    See you soon!

    -Jim Birkenseer

    You must use sAITransform-> (TransformArt) on the subject of track of the image of the text, not the entire text block.

    For example:

    AITextFrameType textFrameType;
    sAITextFrame->GetType( art, &textFrameType );
    if ( ( textFrameType == kInPathTextType ) || ( textFrameType == kOnPathTextType ) ) {
        sAITextFrame->GetPathObject( art, &art );
        AIRealMatrix sMatrix;
         // Set your matrix as needed here...
        sAITransformArt->TransformArt( art, &sMatrix, 1.0f, kTransformObjects );
    }
