Why my text boxes act as the railways?

I use AI CS6, it opens today, and all the text boxes are behaving like paths.

I can only resize by using the direct Selection tool. I don't know what happened, I checked text preferences, nothing seems to be odd.

I would like to attach a screenshot, but the button "Insert an Image" brings up a white box that tells me the 'Operation timed out'.  Not my day for the software.

Basically, once I have create a text box, I lose the ability to resize unless I handled a corner both with the direct Selection tool.

dlatzen,

Questions like this and similar are usually caused and resolved, by enabling / disabling view > show/hide the bounding box or view > show/hide edges.

I mentioned both because they are easy keyboard mishits (Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + B and Ctrl / Cmd + H keys, just look at the entourage).

  • text box linking to the previous used document

    For some reason when I click on a text box, it opens the previous indesign file that I saved for the current file I'm working on. It pops up in front of the file I'm working on which is very annoying! There is a new feature that creates a link to previous files, that you saved?

    You have a hyperlink in there to the old file?

  • Expandable text boxes continue on the next page?

    So I'm still new to do with LiveCycle Forms. I managed to get about 95 percent of the done form. What I can't understand is how to get a subform with two expandable to be returned on the second page text boxes. Any ideas? I read that "technically" it isn't a second page that it was all based on the hierarchy but, I have a second page "(sans titre Subform) (page2.") I want the subform with expandable text boxes ended on the second page and push the content down. So far, all I got is for information to cut at the bottom of page 1.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    given that your text box is inside a subform that is on a Page, you must ensure that each of the elements who are the parents of the textbox are all resolved Flowed content

    Also, make sure that each parents are allow to jump to Page content

    You can find these options in the object palette > subform

    Also, make sure that your text box has Page breaks allow within the content option 'checked '.

    Hope this will help is

  • EP 6: change the size of the text box without changing the font size?

    OK, it took me awhile looong to finally install PES 6 (from 4 PES) and now it's been a Loooong time that I used it.

    4 PES, you just had to click on the text tool in the text box to see the squares bounding, and you can make the changes. In PES 6, it seems the only way I can get the bounding box to show is now with the tool selection... which of course does not change the size of the font as well.

    I did beaucoup Googling etc and that you can't find the answer. Help, please. I'm not a PSE newbie by any means. I used it for scrapbooking widely in the past which included a LOT of text resizing box... but it seems that 6 is designed differently than 4 and it is NOT intuitive at all. I've figured it out at some point, but it's been too long... > 1 year.

    Please help... need to finish scrapbooking for Christmas gifts...

    I wonder if what has been improved in later versions?

    OK people... it seems it's on my own computer performance issues! To do a break more significantly on areas bounding while using the text tool. I was so rushed... I had mice on and if something didn't happen immediately, assumed that he would not. Sorry for the trouble, but maybe this will help some other impatient soul like me!

  • Why my links do not work in the text box next to the e-mail in Outlook?

    I created an email template in Eloqua, which is a two-column layout. The text box on the left has links that work very well. The text box on the right has links that do not work. This only occurs in Outlook. If I find the email in an another e-mail client, all right. What could be wrong causing the links is not working?

    If another person has ever run into this and found a solution, please let me know. I'm pulling my hair out!

    I called support this morning and all I had to do was move the text box on the right side to the top of a few pixels and now everything works fine. I guess when the two tables are the same height, Outlook rides them and cannot process the links properly. I like it when it's an easy solution!

  • text boxes created in the end loop for using DIFFERENT fonts!

    I have a loop that creates videos with text boxes inside of them, all inside an accordion component. Basically, the code performs the Accordion with content navigation.

    Anyway, the strange thing is that text fields that use TWO different fonts! How is that possible? Even if my TextFormat fails for any reason, must not then fail because ALL created text fields and not only some (and why it fails)?

    Well, I just found that it works when I use instead of setTextFormat setNewTextFormat.

    Otherwise, it works also when I place the setTextFormat * after * setting text.

    I should have read the documentation before asking here :-)

  • text box appears for the accents on letters

    I have a new iMac dating a week who continues to appear in the text box for the accents and resumes typing (slowly). Support contacted today, they don't know, reset pram or something, no change. I have to restart the iMac to clean so I can type, takes about 10 minutes.

  • When I print a table (multiple pages) the text box under the table seems to be moving under the table and prints with the table of this overlap. My only solution is to push the text box further down the page before printing... Any advice?

    Im having problems shaped a text box so that my table does not print right on top of it. I want it inside of my table (it's 'tems and conditions' budget)

    Any advice would be great.

    I face the same problem as well. Would like to know if there is a better way to get the text box to move with the table instead of the effect that overlap. Have to manually adjust the layout, whenever I want to get a reasonable print of a document (or export it to PDF) seems counterintuitive, especially when it causes the document seem ill-disposed on screen.

    I am running version 3.6.2 of the numbers in the case where that matters.

  • I want my text box to resize the web page when you add lines of text

    Hi all

    I'm new to Muse, I am quite familiar with illustrator and photoshop. My question:

    I downloaded a model, and it allows me to learn and practice the muse a bit. I want to know how I can add a text box that automatically resizes the Web page when text lines are added. Currently my text box just go to the footer when I type. Which setting I have to look?

    Thanks to you all!

    Don't forget your footer items are marked as a footer element and that your text box is not.

    Right-click on the components and check or uncheck the footer element

  • Radio buttons change a text box to display the different values

    Hey I am relatively new to muse and I wanted to know if there is a way to choose an effect to another thing. A text box to read '1' and then checking option 2 for example selecting the option 1 changes make the text box read "4".

    If someone could help me that would be so useful ive been stuck for centuries and could not find any help. This is my last resort.
    Thank you.

    This requires scripts to change the values of elements within a form. Muse does not offer this to off the bat, but you can find plenty of examples on the web that you can insert into the custom HTML code.

  • How to resize a text box without distorting the text?

    I'm trying to resize an area text, but whenever the text gets distorted. What I am doing wrong?

    To resize the box, double-click its icon of layer.

    The difference between a text box (aka paragraph Type) and a layer of Type normal, is that for the shape, select the text tool and click where you want the insertion point.  For the latter, you click and drag to make the type box.

  • Create a custom stamp, which can be edited or has a text box to enter the 4 digits

    I need to do these in stamps for inspections on the ground. I am using acrobat for operations more and more now that I see the versatility in the management and creation of form. I have the guide to quickly access the fair of the stamps used in Acrobat X. I was wondering if there is a way to add a text box to them like a stamp or is there a different function, I should use. These are glued on a pdf of a floorplan that I organize.

    Thanks for any help.

    Yes, you must create a custom dynamic stamp with custom scripts to prompt the user for input.

  • How can super impose type on an image; whenever I have placed the type on my photo type in text box moves outside the image I don'tthink I have text wrap on?

    Why can't impose a great guy on my picture?

    Click on the image and go to window > text wrapping to open the skin palette. If something other than the article that I circled is selected, pass the circled point. This is the setting where no dressing is applied to the image. If this does not work, check if there is another object that is in contact with the text block. Maybe it's something that's behind the image, or perhaps on another layer.

  • Conditional display in the text box based on the calculated value

    Hello

    I have radio buttons that each have a numerical value. For example = 1 A = 2 C = 0. In the example below, the total is equal to 5.
    examplescreen01.gif

    The sum is displayed at the bottom of the document and is passed to another text box:

    examplescreen02.gif

    Instead of '5' displayed in the text box on the right, it should display a "Control" Word like this:
    examplescreen03.gif

    The displayed word is based on the totals through this range:

    1-2 = 'absorbing '.

    3-4 = 'practitioner '.

    5 to 6 = "control".

    The script I used to pass the value from the left to the right text box in the chart above is:

    name of the field to text box;

    var cTextBox = 'Cabinet Talent strategy knowledge - total';

    get the value of the field with the name in cTextBox;

    var sTextBox = this.getField ("cTextBox") .value;

    Set the value of this field;

    Event.Value = sTextBox;

    That I need to add to this script to show one of the words, such as "control" above?

    I am a complete novice to scripting. I found the above script online and somehow got it to work.

    I thank very much for any help or pointers, you can provide.

    Best regards

    Chris

    Sorry, there were some errors in the code that I provided above. Try this:

    If (sTextBox > = 1 & sTextBox)<= 2)="">

    Event.Value = "absorbing";

    } ElseIf (sTextBox > = 3 & sTextBox)<= 4)="">

    Event.Value = "practitioner";

    } ElseIf (sTextBox > = 5 & sTextBox)<= 6)="">

    Event.Value = "master";

    } else {}

    Event.Value = "";

    }
