Can't select text boxes with Type Tool to write in on pages, only on Master Page

I'm unable to use the Type Tool to select the tax boxes on a document page in Indesign CC. I can select it on the Master Page. I can write on the Master Page. If I apply the Master Page afterwards, the written text from the Master Page appear on the document page, just as it should. But whenever I try to select a column on a document page, all the Type Tool does is draw a new text box (which I can select and write in). What's up with that? I applied the Master multiple times. If I can write on a the Master Page, why not on the document page?

Individual master frames can be overridden on a document page by holding down Cmd + Shift (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift (Windows) and clicking on them with the Selection tool.
Empty master text frames are generally more useful for placing external text files and having them flow from page to page than for typing, and they need not be overridden to do that -- just move the loaded cursor inside the frame.

  • The text box with place holder text in my master is uneducable in my template. How can I fix it?

    I'm very new to InDesign.
    I just created a master based on a page design I liked by drawing its page icon in the layers panel up to the master icon at the top of the panel. Later I applied the master to a blank page in the same document by selecting the page in the layer panel and option clicking on the master page icon. It worked and I can fill the photo frames but the text areas are uneducable. When I go to the layers panel and open the layer with the text it's blank, however when I open the same file in the master, it's filled with text boxes.
    How can I add text boxes with placeholder text that is editable?

    Master pages themselves can't be a template, but any file in which the master page is used can be a template, just by saving as such. Templates can contain much more information, though, than just master object placement, including styles (very important), color swatches, and multiple pages. You can even have content on the document pages in a template file, and if you are doing placeholder text, it might make more sense to put it on the live document page than it does to put it on a master page.
    Master pages are best suited to content that will appear on multiple document pages.

    Hello, for a multilingual catalog project I would have to know how and with what tool I can place text from Excel or a database in text frames / tables. The basic idea is to provide the text box with an ID (eg << text_eng_art_nr_987654>>) and above to make the connection. Does anyone have a tip. Thanks in advance !!!
    Bernd

    Data merge is really useful in many circumstances, but my first question would be about the size of the project. A really large catalog might be better handled by processing an IDML in some kind of translation memory tool.
    If all of your multilingual content is already in Excel, then it's probably best handled with a Data Merge. Note that you can't save Unicode CSV out of Excel for the merge, so for many languages you'll need to save "Unicode Text" out of Excel and tweak your import settings when you select a Data Source for encoding (Unicode) and delimiter (tab instead of comma).

  • Can I add a link into a text box with in-browser editing

    Is it possible to set up a text box with some text and subsequently change the text to include a hyperlink with in-browser editing with a site hosted on a third party server?

    Hi Richard,
    You can add the the link to the text using the Hyperlink manager at the top. You can link it with any internal or external URL.

  • How can I make a text box with 2 columns?

    I can't figure out how to make a text box with two columns. I made one in pages and pasted it into iWeb but it seems to have turned it into an image when I published to a folder. I want to keep it text so the search engines will index it.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, David

    You will have to create two text boxes, configure them as columns and then paste into the first and cut where you want the columns to end and paste the remainder into the second column as on this page . I've tried saving a two column Word document as a web page and it just converts it to one column.

  • Totally frustrated. Need help with type tool in CS2.

    Must start by admitting I'm embarrassed to have to even find myself asking this question. . . But after working with PageMaker since Ver. 2.0 in the early '80s, finally was forced to switch to CS2 when I had to replace my Mac/Intel computer 3 (or was it 4 years ago?). Did so fighting and cursing all the way, and I'm still having trouble typing in Photoshop . . . not just today, but EVERY TIME I sit down to work on a project.
    Most are brochures and display ads, and though friends and colleagues insist my real problem is that I should be setting them up in InDesign, I'm convinced it's easier to work on graphics and text simultaneously in Photoshop.
    My problem is in grabbing text blocks in order to edit them. Occasionally I'm able to highlight the text I need, but usually I keep getting new type layers instead. I know it should not be this difficult, but as soon as I select the text with the cursor, I get a new, empty text box.It doesn't seem to matter if I am in the layers or edit mode.
    I may not be the most technically advanced Adobe user, but I'm not stupid. What the heck am I doing wrong? Can someone please steer me right?

    Try this on for size:
    Type Tool Tips for Photoshop
    Most folks understand how to create text in Photoshop. You select the Type Tool from the Toolbox, or you tap the "T" key on your keyboard. Then, in the Character Palette you set the attributes for font, color, size, etc. A simple click in your document window will mark the spot where you may begin typing unbounded "point" text. Or, you click and drag in your document window to create a paragraph text box. Type out your text, then tap your "Enter" key to commit the text to its new layer.
    It's pretty straightforward, and Photoshop offers a decent set of tools to adjust how your text looks. One hitch that long-timers will tell you about, though: It's generally accepted that Photoshop isn't the best application to be using if you have to have to create a lot of text because it doesn't have all of the adjustment functions necessary to produce large amounts of professional-quality text. Well, the real world being what it is, sometimes, and for some users, Photoshop is the only application they have to work with; might as well make the best of it, right?
    So, once you have text entered onto a layer in your document, how do you then reselect iteither all of it or just a portion and navigate through it easily? What follows will answer some of those questions.
    Note: The keyboard shortcuts that follow assume you are using a Mac. If you're using Windows, substitute the CTRL key for "Command."
    Double-Click on the boxed 'T' thumbnail on the desired Text Layer in the Layers Palette. This will select and highlight all of the text on that layer.
    Then, if you want, you can use some keyboard shortcuts to move the "Blinking Bar" Type Tool cursor through the text.
    Assuming that your text is enclosed in a click-and-dragged out paragraph text box--When all text is highlighted:
    "Home" key will move cursor to the beginning of first line of text.
    "End" key will move cursor to the end of last line of text.When text is NOT highlighted, but cursor is flashing within the text:
    "Home" key moves cursor to the beginning of the line it's in.
    "End" key moves cursor to the end of the line it's in.
    Command + "Home" moves cursor to beginning of first line of text.
    Command + "End" moves cursor to end of the last line of text.
    Shift + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the line it's in.
    Shift + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the line it's in.
    Shift + Command + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the first line of text.
    Shift + Command + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the last line of text.Arrow keys can also be used to select text in various ways. When your cursor is flashing within the text:
    Shift + Right Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the end of the text.
    Shift + Left Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the beginning of the text.
    ⇒ Add the Command key to select whole words at a time, in either direction.
    Shift + Up Arrow selects text from cursor position back to the next line above the cursor.
    Shift + Down arrow selects text from cursor position forward to the next line below the cursor position.
    ⇒ Add the Command key to select text starting from the cursor position, and accumulating either back to the beginning of the first line, or forward to the end of the last line.
    That covers most of what (or more than) you need to know to navigate through and highlight text. There are some other key combos, and now that you have an idea of what to do, I'll let you experiment and discover them on your own.
    Type Tool Visual Indicators
    Keep a close eye on your Type Tool cursor as you move it near to and away from a hunk of text in your document window.
    When you see it as a plain old "I-Bar" cursor⇒
    ⇒...that means that it's ready to select a position within that text, or to select a hunk of that text.
    When you see a "boxed I-Bar" cursor⇒
    ⇒...that means your cursor is outside of the selectable area for the current text, and is ready for you to click (to start right in typing some unbounded point text) or click-n-drag (to create a paragraph text box). This will, of course, create a new text layer.
    How can you get a visual indicator of where that selectable area for current text begins and ends without blindly moving your Type Tool cursor around the text? Double-Click on the "Boxed-T" thumbnail in the Layers Palette. The text for that layer will become highlighted in your document window. See the black area that surrounds the text? That shows you the actual space occupied by the characters. If your Type Tool cursor is inside this area, it will display the plain "I-Bar" cursor. If it's outside of that area, it will display the "Boxed I-Bar" cursor.
    Want to FORCE Photoshop to create a new Type Layer, even though you're seeing the plain I-Bar cursor?
    Hold the SHIFT key, then either click, or click-n-drag out a paragraph text box.

  • Can't Move Text Boxes

    I am trying to add mobile pages from my mobile site, but when I copy/paste the text boxes from the desktop version, then try to move them, Muse crashes. It also crashed when I created a new text box, added type, and tried to move that. Here is the error message that I received each time:
    I have the latest version of Muse installed. I cannot move ANY boxes by clicking and dragging, but I can resize them. I have a ton of pages to do and can't spend the time nudging them or typing in values. I have no idea how to fix this, can anyone help?

  • How can I embed text box on photos?

    How can I embed text box on photos?

      Did this software slow down the system in your experience?
    No, not afaik. It behaves like any other external editor. You do not need to have it running in the background all the time. Just activate it from the contextual menu after ctrl-clicking the image you want to annotate and select "Edit with plug-in -> BorderFX" from the pop-up menu (or Photos ->  Edit with plug-in -> BorderFX) .
    Corky02 really said it all - the only draw back is that this plug-in really is more like an export plug-in and the edited version will create a new master.

  • How do i control 2 text boxes with 1 scroll bar? (CS4)

    I want to control 2 Dynamic Text boxs with the 1 scroll bar component? I want them to scroll simultaneously with the user only needing to use the one component. Thank you in advance for your help

    The textfields should have the same number of lines.  You can have the scrollbar (sb) assigned to one textfield (t1) and then have an event listener/handler for the scrollbar adjust the other textfield's (t2) scrollV property to match the first one's scrollV property:
    import fl.events.ScrollEvent;
    sb.addEventListener(ScrollEvent.SCROLL, adjustTs);
    function adjustTs(evt:ScrollEvent):void {
        t2.scrollV = t1.scrollV;

  • Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

    HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
    I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
    Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
    Thanks,

    In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
    if (dropdown1 == 1) then
    $.clearItems()
    $.setItems("Year, 2 Year,  3 Year")
    elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
    $.clearItems()

  • Design View - Can't Select Text, Only Divs

    This is a page I did not build, and I hope I can describe this properly. Here's the published page -
    www.wheeltime.com
    I'm in CS4 and there are two things going on when trying to edit in design view. The first is I can't select text of content. Clicking to select said content, say a line of text or a word, selects and highlights the entire div container and all the content within in one big chunk. Why is DW not letting me select the actual content? This is the first time I've enver encountered this issue. 
    This is the same for all the div ontainers on the page. But another, perhaps related problem, has to do with this content area. In design view, there's a fixed height, so not only can I not select the content, but I can't see it all. It's OK in the browser, expands as it should. I've looked at all the properties anywhere and don't see any height attribute anywhere, especially those that enclose this area of content.
    One this that has be wondering - this content area is warpped in a "main-content" div, with a class applied. But this div has no corresponding entry or properties in the style sheet. I can see where a div can be used that has no specific properies of it's own, but is it OK to not be mentioned at all in the style sheet? And can this affect what's going on in design view editing?
    So, I guess the question is - what is governing this inability to edit in Design view?  Thank you in advance!!

    Have you tried double clicking the content?
    I'm not sure what causes this exactly, but I downloaded your page and ran it in my DWCS4. It did the same thing until I double clicked the content of the divs. That allowed me to select it without issue from that point on.
    It may have something to do with the content being wrapped in <span> tags within each <div>.
    Onto your other question, your <div id="main-container"class="container"> is being affected by the .container class in your style.css file rather than a #main-container id.
    EDIT: HTML id's like <div id="main-content"> serve to identify elements for many purposes, not just css. There is no problem with giving an element an id simply for organizational purposes, though usually they are used as targets for javascripts, css or php scripting purposes.
