Problems using the text tool
Hello
I am a bit newbie to Indesign, and I was just wondering if someone could help me. I have problems with the text tool.
I worked on my first rare documents, (postcards on 1 simple page), but when I come back to add some more text using the text tool it does not create the usual type frame/box and the cursor will just directly on the upper left side of the document? I don't know that I have to do something wrong.
My apologies if the answer is dead simple.
See you soon

You probably have a rectangle as the background on your page? When you click anywhere on the rectangle with the text tool, it converts your bulk text rectangle and the insertion point jumps to the upper left corner of the frame.
It s a little annoying, but you can get rid of this feature of preferences, in the Type tab, there is a text check function tool converts frames for blocks of text (or something like that) just uncheck it... To change these rectangles accidentally converted to frames grapgic (select the rectangle and choose object > Content > graphic)
If Don t you want to stop using this feature, you can also draw your block of text off the page, you type text and it moves the right position

Photoshop CS5.1 64 bit crash, usually after using the text tool.
The problem started after I replaced my hard drive with an SSD and added an internal HARD drive, so I guess that it is linked to that. When it crashes, Windows gives me the following message is displayed:
Signature of the problem:

Additional information 4: 069f4e7522beac631f124f1ea513a1b2
I tried to update and roll back my graphics driver, I checked my swap file (because my SSD uses Samsung magician, and I found a few posts a few years ago which suggested that might be the problem), but I can't understand this.
Other Production Premium CS5.5 programs seem to work perfectly, and only Photoshop is having issues. I tried to reinstall (in which case a vital file has been damaged or missing). Photoshop displays all errors of himself, he just died.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just seen elsewhere asked on another forum
Is it possible for a panoramic image using the text tool, I know you can use the Alt key in Illustrator, but it doesn't seem to be an option in Photoshop.
Hello
On a Mac, while the cursor is in a text box, you will need to hit: Shift + Option + command + SPACEBAR.
Who holds the key 4. I guess you can map it in Photoshop keyboard shortcode preferences.

I installed the latest version of Photoshop from the creative clouds and my tool work started weird type, whenever I try to use the text tool to correct a paragraph in a the entire layer leyer turns black and I don't see what I'm doing. Also, the entire workspace is greater and the tools of icons so that they does not fit in the screen... Any body can help?
If your running windows make sure you have the latest device driver for your graphics card installed. All entries must be selected and be on a black background, but you should be able to see is that the text.

It's something that would drastically improve the speed of my workflow. When I click inside a composition using the text tool, the text layer is always positioned at the beginning of the composition.
Is it possible to make the text layer from the current-time indicator, so don't constantly do defiler to the beginning of the composition and drag the text layer forward in the desired position?
Thank you very much.
There is a preference: create layers at Composition Start Time.

seems to pale, as dark instead of the dark gray text using the text tool
Why the text entered using the text tool seems pale? The color is not a clear black, as in Microsoft Word or any other processor.

I played with the options that people have suggested and finally managed them to draw text in 'black' and 'recording' and see the difference when "Proof colors" is selected. It seems that it is simply the way that InDesign draw text on screen, which is certainly less sharp than Microsoft Word (if I'm wrong, I'll be happy to know).
Thank you all for helping me. This forum is great.
You should NEVER use the 'Registration' color for what what is content in InDesign. No text, no box. Black Black Dungeon. If you create print then work in CMYK and use the [Black] in square brackets because it will be default overprint.
That InDesign is less strong, I never have heart or seen, but how to crisp your policy comes, depends on your settings personal screen in Acrobat. Most never will send you an INDD open to your client or printer, but always a PDF exported, how it looks in InDesign to format PDF is not important. And you should avoid the use of transparency above the text, because this could rasterize text (and also of the vectors) which will not look so crisp as if the text (and vectors) may be vectors for the output.

situation in PS CC incredible error by using the text tool
Everything was fine. Yesterday I wanted to use type tool. I have attached a page 1
and who's going to see. As you can see the new file was created using the default values of the PS, I created a po box and then all goes completely to H * ll. I've included the display of characters so you can see what I was trying to do.
First the cursor is WAY WAY over THE BOX, I had defined 24pt type size, "BOLD", and you can see he's just crazy. There is nothing I can do. So, I tried just using the text tool to add a type. Same thing. #2 of screenshot
Watch that. So I opened PS CS6 and everything works as expected.
Something happened to the PS CC.
you set it up to print 37pt above the line so this is what it does
you only have a single 37pt so that easy to find

Fireworks crashes / hangs when you use the text tool
Mac Octocore > OSX 10.6.1
Master Collection > Fireworks CS4
First, I noticed the change to text box. Then Fireworks CS4 would freeze during one of the following:
• Resize grouped text
• Moving text box
• Click on the text box to edit with the text tool
• Double-click the text box to change the pointer tool
So I started a new file, but met with the same result. Thus, Fireworks CS4 is currently useless if the text is necessary. I can create vector objects, but simply by clicking on the canvas (or by clicking on the fonts menu) with the tool Fireworks CS4 text instantly gel. I had similar problems with Fireworks CS3 edition, but if I started a new file, I was at least able to reuse the text tool and type. Now, I can't even recreate the file. I have to give up Fireworks and using a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator before my schedule gets even further behind.
I am at a total loss.
Neil
The question of the gel with the type tool on Snow Leopard has been studied by the team of fireworks and the solution was posted on my blog at http://blogs.adobe.com/sarthak/2009/10/fireworks_cs4_text_tool_on_sno.html

Why my text will appear on my photo when I use the text tool?
Using the horizontal type tool I can do a text box, but no text - the flashing light appears in the box and when I type any text will not appear. Although, in the layers of the right side panel, he named the layer what I typed then why it will not appear on the photo? Even if you do all of the other layers invisible text layer still does not appear on a white background.
Help, please! My only other option I can think about is text transfer in other locations. Then I need to erase all white space around the text and its super boring.
Select the text tool and try a reset.
