Overview of the disabled scale/resize text box

Usually, when I scale or resize a text box, it will turn into direct, giving me a glimpse of what the text will look like if I let go of the mouse, now if I resized a text box that is exactly the same until I let go of the mouse, how it move to its new position. It is very difficult to explain, and I can't really give an example image. I'm sure it's a very simple solution, I think I just need to check a box somewhere.


Any ideas?

Either change your preferences for Live screen drawing immediate value, or click and hold a moment before sliding the deferred value with him.

    Hi chbradshaw,

    Instead of filling & signature, tool, use the text comment comment tool, KB doc option. using comments in the PDF, Adobe Acrobat DC files (keyword: Add a text comment).

  • Help on resizing text boxes and the General image techniques

    Using CS2.

    I have two fundamental questions.  We have to do to get the best images to vector (with text) that I can for placement in InDesign documents.  The other relates to the specificity of work with text in FW boxes.

    The easiest way for me to produce vector images has been using PowerPoint.  I do all the graphic work, and then save it as a gif file.  I don't and then cropping in a graphic (Irfanview, PS) tool insert or place the image.  As long as there is no resizing, things work fine.  I do not know how things like IPR are controlled using this technique but I'm assuming that would be also with the graphical tool.  I know that Irfanview allows the CIO to clarify when resizing.

    The problem starts to appear when the gif object is resized.  Things are distorted and I lose the freshness of the image content.  I'm certainly not an expert on the graphics but I thought either, there is no resizing (just a cropping) or 2) to work in a tool such as FW where (I guess) so I need to make 1) actual size charts PP size of the final image placed there are better abilities to resize the vector images.  My feeling (again, not an expert) is that converts the process I use for vector graphics in PP to a bitmap image in the gif and resizing does not work as well for bitmap images with respect to vector objects.  Don't I have that right?

    Go to question 2:

    Can the text boxes be resized in FW without distorting the text?  Their size is visible when initially drasing them?  Maybe spoiled by PowerPoint, I like to define the width of the vector objects (e.g. rectangle) and the width of the text it will fill at the same size.  (I know that PP has the opportunity to put borders on text boxes, but when you work in FW I need to work with 2 objects, the rectangle and the text box).  I have a wide 81px rectangle.  Can I set a text box to 81px wide without distorting the text?

    I tend to want to control the dimensions of the real object so I can get good spacial alignment.  For example, I tend to set the width of a text to an odd number of px object so that any line that comes out of the text object coincide well with the text.  I must admit that it was perhaps time for me to use a different technique in FW (for example an alignment more than objects multiple vs knowing dimensions and locations seting).  My approach does need improvement?

    Thanks for the tips

    As I wean out of PP I started watching FW and Illustrator (I have both).  I did a logo or two in FW and have used it to build simple web graphics (e.g. buttons, menus).  It can, I believe, be a little more complicated than what I need in this case.

    Given that the PP is not a graphics program, its drawing capabilities are very limited. As a result, all graphics applications will have many more features that you are used to see and more that you need for a project.

    I did a little experiment with Illustrator and my first impression is that it will work better for me for this job.  It seems a little more intuitive.

    Is a general rule to use FW for graphics for the web and Illustrator of what I was doing in PP?

    Your suggested orientation is good. Also note that if you make a logo or a vector graphic in Illustrator (saved as .ai format), you can import into Fireworks and work with it as a vector object it. FW can import and use, simply create no, files and .ai objects.

    FW has some vector tools, they are hidden under window > others > Path. Because the FW is intended to produce Web graphics, it is a hybrid, capable of vector and image/photo editing application. Given that she has some of both, it is not necessarily what is Illustrator, nor all that Photoshop has. It has most of the features of the two programs, as long as the feature is useful for a Web graphics designer. For pure photo retouching Photoshop has the edge; for pure illustration, Illustrator has the edge. Both Photoshop and Illustrator supports profiles of colors and other important features for printing which is not the fireworks. All are good programs, but there are reasons to prefer one over the other according to the type of graphics, you need to create or work with and what is your intended use of the work. (But none of them will be greater than PowerPoint!)

    I'm not sure I can unravel the mystery with the resizing of text box.  I suspect theres an option is selected.  Knowing that it's possible, it's enough for me to do some homework.

    Maybe... don't think that text boxes at all. You have text objects. The object has a bounding box which is determined by the underlying definition of the police, but he is not in an text box. (Sometimes swooshs goes beyond area of definition of a character in the police, but that's another question). The bounding box of the text object is similar to the of a circle or a star or an irregular shape bounding box. There is a reference to the dimensions box, but the text is not inside some other independent container.

    To resize it, select the text object and change the font size using the Properties palette or using the tool of the ladder hanging out on a corner of the hierarchy (different from the bounding box, and I don't know why, sorry).

    I think that with Illustrator, you can set text (or other) boxes and fill them with text. * Research * Oh... Like these: http://school.tatoland.com/illustrator/aitype.html

  • How can I change the size of a text box without moving boxes?

    This is my problem:

    Regularly, I have several text boxes in a row area and need to extend the boxes to display all the text. I used the direct Selection tool to select all the boxes and then use the Middle bounding box handle to drag the boxes longer. When I do this the position of the box moves as well. If I type a number for the height of the boxes, it extends the type.

    How can I make the boxes more time to show all the text without moving the boxes?

    I use Illustrator CC2015 on Windows 7.

    Thank you.

    OK, I see now, this is happening to me also. But on a much smaller scale, so did not notice. My Y was pt 178. After scale if has 179.247

    1. With nothing selected appears hovering over the region, which I marked in red at the bottom of the pane click
    2. Hold the SHIFT key, click on the second box
    3. Click and drag on the 3rd bottom of the text pane and drag down.

    Who has taken my y-axis, let me know if it works on windows? Don't know how to get the tool to work.

  • How can I stop the Captivate adding in text boxes / tone clear when I film a project?

    Morning/afternoon

    Whenever I have a new Captivate 4 adds project always in the additional text boxes with 'Click on OK button' and 'Opens a window setting' and also adds in the film's point culminating own boxes.  How to disable this option?  It's not so much of a problem that I have to go in and edit each screen anyway, but I was wondering if there was a way to stop appearing in the first place.

    Thank you very much for your help,

    Use a right-indent tab and apply underscore tab.

  • How can I activate the spell for a text box that is just a line, for example submitted by e-mail?

    In an earlier version of Firefox, I found a site somewhere that told me what to do to turn on spell checking for text boxes that are just a line. I'm used to be able to send an e-mail with a subject that was not a misspelling. Now, it does not work. Please tell me how I can activate it once again. I'm on a Mac using Firefox 6.0.2. Thank you!

    See:

    You can set the pref layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 on the topic: config page.

    To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

  • Problems related to the film project title/text boxes.

    In the opening of my external hard drive iMovie projects, many title/text boxes throughout the film are whitewashed.  When I click it, the text appears, but when playing the movie, they come again white.  I had installed iMovie v.10, could not navigate, so returned to old iMovie 9.0.7 and reused, but found this problem with movies.

    iMovie 11 (version 9.x.x) is not compatible with El Capitan and results in errors that you see more than others. iMovie 10 also reported problems with the video in the event viewer and the chronology of white. Only iMovie 10.1.1 is fully compatible with El Capitan. I would upgrade to 10.1.1. Yes, it's a different interface, but not for difficult cases, you read up on it and watch a few tutorials.

  • What is the line outside my text box?

    Can someone help me please understand that this lighter blue line is above the text box? It seems to be an extension of the text box, or a spacer/padding?

    I guess you see a text wrap the area where the skin is attached to:
    the values of left, right, down: 0

    top: the amount that you recognize as 'thin blue line '.

  • Get the frame to a text box

    I'm having problems to find the exact image of a page of text box element.

    The code I use is simply:

    InterfacePtr < IShape > itemShape (pageItemUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());

    clippingBounds = itemShape-> GetPrintedBBox (PMMatrix (), Transform::SpreadCoordinates());)

    InterfacePtr<IGeometry> pageGeometry (pageUIDRef IID_IGEOMETRY);

    PMRect pageBounds = (pageGeometry-> GetStrokeBoundingBox (::InnerToParentMatrix(pageGeometry)));

    clippingBounds.Top (clippingBounds.Top () - pageBounds.Top (());

    clippingBounds.Left (clippingBounds.Left () - pageBounds.Left (());

    clippingBounds.Bottom (clippingBounds.Bottom () - pageBounds.Top (());

    clippingBounds.Right (clippingBounds.Right () - pageBounds.Left (());

    For the text box in the attached screenshot, it gives me back clipping limits like X:174, Y:175, W:246, H:470. However, you can see in the screenshot the text block itself is X:174, Y:190, W:246, H:454

    The values I'm getting seem to correspond to the scope of the selection highlight if I have the highlighted text.

    I have yet to find all values / combination of the values the text-related interfaces that will allow me to directly get (or replace) rect real framework, as illustrated by InDesign.

    Anyone know how to do in this regard?

    Thank you

    Hello LizW,

    do not assume that page originated at the top left of the page. If you want to have the coordinates of point page relative to the left and top of the page and then transform the bounding element of its internal contacts page to disseminate the coordinates and, except internal coordinate of the page. After that translate the outcome of the origin of the page area delimitation.

  • restrict the issue of characters text box

    I am relatively new to Flash programming, and I'm having a problem where all the text boxes will allow only characters 2,3 and 4 to enter. They were put in place with the .restrict = "0-9" to allow all the numbers.  I even created a test text box, and that has the same problem.  Is there something I'm missing, which is the cause?  I use Flash Pro CS6 on a Windows XP computer.

    Usually, when characters do not appear in a textfield it means police must be integrated into the TextField.  If the textfield on the stage, select it and in the properties panel, click the Embed button and choose the font/characters you want to use for the textfield object.

  • The multiplication within a text box...

    Hey all!

    Currently I am developing a mini-test within a project (Action Scipt 2) I created and could use some help.

    Basically, it's a multiple-choice test/questionnaire which adds 1 point to a text box (which will be the number 0 in it to start) If a wrong answer is selected.

    Example:

    Question 1 Total: 0

    (a) answer 1

    (b) answer 2

    (c) answer 3

    (d) answer 4

    Say so the answer 3 is the right answer, when you click on it it will go to the next question/framework. But if a, b, or d is clicked, I need to show some kind of 'Wrong' meesage (which will be a text box), display the 'NEXT' button (which is not visible/clickable until an answer is selected) to go to the next question/framework and add 1 to the box 'Total', at the same time.

    There will be a total of 3 sets of 20 questions (60 questions in total) and at the end of 3 rounds, if the user ends up with say 20 in the "Total" box, 5 points will be automatically deducted leaving it with a total of 15 (5 points subtracted is sort of a bonus at the end). Thus, on frame of 60 for example (the last picture), he would says the box 'Total' to subtract 5 by the end number of code. If the total is greater than 0, it will go to a certain range, and if the total is 0, it will go to a different image.

    Who is? Any ideas? I do it too hard... is there an easier way?

    var scoreVar:Number = 0;  initial scoreVar

    scoreTF (scoreVar);  update your textfield

    answer3Btn.onRelease = function() {}

    scoreVar ++;  increment scroeVar because it is a correct answer.

    scoreTF (scoreVar);  update your textfield

    }

    function scoreTF(n:Number) {}

    yourtextfield. Text = n;  assigns the value of scoreVar to the text property of yourtextfield

    }
