objects and text boxes 'locking' indd

Hello, all of a sudden my text boxes and objects placed in inddcc can not be moved with my arrow selection tool - as they are locked (they are not). I can't find a release or a preference to adjust. I have to move items a tick at a time with my arrow on my keyboard. Help!

  • Why can I not move objects and text boxes in Indesign CS5.5?

    I've recently upgraded to Indesign CS5.5.I have worked on a document and everything was fine, but I suddenly realized I could move is no longer areas of text or objects using the direct Selection tool and dragging. Objects do not just move. I can move them by selecting them and then painstakingly moving with the arrow keys. I can also reshape their dragging points middle and corners. The objects are not locked and are not on a locked layer. The "anchored object ' options are grayed out and I can not also copy one of the objects."  Please can someone help?

  • Impossible to move objects or text boxes in inDesign CC

    I was working on an inDesign document without problem, and suddenly, I was unable to move objects or areas of text with the selection tools. I could move only with the help of my arrows. The objects are not locked and are not on a locked layer. This problem occurs now in all my other documents, and create a document did not help.

    I found this thread (why can I not move objects and text boxes in Indesign CS5.5?), which suggests that I have my inDesign preferences 'trash '. I did, and it does not solve the problem. I also uninstalled and then reinstalled inDesign, but that didn't fix the problem either. I use a version of Mac OS X 10.9.5.

    Can anyone help? Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Create a PDF from Word 2010 file is not correctly convert pictures and text boxes

    I have 11 Acrobat and my co-workers with 9 and 10 can correctly convert Word documents with images and text boxes, but v.11 cut the text and is not convert the images correctly.

    Hey Luke,

    You may need to check with other files in Word also to analyze whether the problem is with word or Acrobat.

    Open a word document, add images, then try to convert it to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer as PDFMaker option well.

    Let me know what happens.

    In addition, to make Adobe PDF as default printer and check.

    You could even go in PDFMaker preferences and uncheck the option "enable accessibility and reflow with tagged Adobe PDF" on the tab "settings".

    If that don't work, then please share the file with me by e-mail (email ID sent via private message) so that I can check my end.

    Kind regards

    I'm trying to highlight objects and text in a pdf file converted from a cadd drawing but can't do either?

    It may be that the PDF file is simply a graph. The highlight tool works on the text, not graphics. You may need to use the marker or another graphic tool.

  • objects (lines) and text boxes are not able to make larger or smaller

    first: for no reason at all, all my text boxes are now implemented in the text block.  I don't know how that lit.  When I go to 'type '.

    and try to choose "threaded text" it won't allow me to select - it is not highlighted.  So I have no idea

    How to disable this option.  Now, I can't stretch my text boxes depending on what is in them - IE: make bigger or smaller, that is to say: there's only two boxes hanging out - one on each side of the text box and they allow me to drag to enlarge the box - only to move the whole box (before there were 4 boxes to manipulate the size of the text box - a on every corner - now, there only two) and this seems to apply

    in many other objects now.  When I draw a line, I have to make sure that the line is the exact right size because once I have draw - it will not allow me to make it larger or smaller - it only allows me to move it to a different location - I don't understand what's going on

  • Master Pages and text boxes

    I'm trying to set up my master page with a few text boxes, but I try to get so that the text boxes I put in place in the master page, I can use and edit text in my Document. But what is the point of putting the text boxes in the master pages if you can't use them on your pages. This could be something simple, but I can't understand it. IM use cs4. Help, please

    Thanks for the help, I was hoping that I didn't have to place text on each page

    There is nothing wrong with putting a text on a master page object. To edit a template on a page, command + shift + click on item.

  • Unable to rezise any object or text box

    I can't resize objects or the text box in a document. I use Illustrator CS3. Bounding box and the edge are already turned on. Could someone help me please?

    As I said, encompassing are already turned on.

    It happens with any object or any area of text in any document, even if I create a new document. I can't resize or rotate with the move tool (black arrow) and I can not also transform objects (moving only one line or a point..) with the direct Selection (white arrow) tool. The only thing I can do white these tools is select.

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > System Restore > restore time/choose your own date > next

    If you use Norton, disable it before using the system restore.

    Also:

    2. click on start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

    See you soon.

  • How do you define the default font size and color for the text caption and text boxes?

    When I click CTR + e to open the text properties box when you are working with markup tools, the default font size is 9.

    I understand how to change the font size for the individual text boxes but the size is up to 9 whenever I create a new box.

    Is there a way to set a default font for brand boxes place size? I spent hours searching and have not found one.

    This problem appeared only with the latest version of Acrobat Reader DC (15.017.20050).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Son of text and text boxes

    In InDesign CS4, I start a text box and enter text.  When I hit the key "enter" to start a new row, InDesign automatically creates a thread of text into another text box.  I don't want it and the program never used to behave this way.

    Any ideas on what I can fact?

    TIA

    Looks like you might be using the button ENTER on the numeric keypad, which is a column break (and if you have only one column per page or frame it passes then then one).

    If you do not use the numeric keypad, chances are you are on a computer windows laptop and you have a bios that maps the two enter keys together, and the behavior will change depending on the State of the NumLock key. If this is the case, let know us and we can tell you how to make custom keyboard shortcuts to work around the problem.
