Trying to understand the default TEXT boxes in the templates?

Sometimes the default text boxes in a template cannot be deleted. It's as if they act as spacers ... for example a 'title' text box that if dragged down makes the page longer. A 'normal' text box doesn't do this, and it can be deleted.
I'm customizing a template. I customized a particular 'blog' main page. Then I wanted to make another similar 'blog' main page (this site will need three different blogs). I created another page using the exact same template ... and notice an extra text box (spacer?) that can't be deleted, and that seems to have disappeared from my original customized page - even though I CAN'T delete it from the new customized page. Very confusing.
What are those template text boxes that seem to be controlling space holders, and how should I use them properly?
All ears,
Ben

HI Peter,
well In Quark Express as as wrote earlier, that you can see other text frames highlighted immediately, after you select any of the text frame among the threaded text frames, say there are 5 text frames which are threaded together, even if I click on 2 nd or say 4th text frame, it shows me all the text frames highlighted which are threaded together, so If I am working in a catalog which has multiple pages, it's easy for me to see which text frames are threaded together, as if you make any text changes, say add or delete text in a text frame, the other text frames get affected by that. I mean text shifts accordingly, it's easy to track in Quark which text frames will get affected if I change something in a threaded frame.
Anyways, it seems this option is not available in In Design. That's fine. I am not in preview or Overprint previed mode.
Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    I m using JDeveloper 11g 5.1.1.1 : How to display the Input text box when the data in the table is empty or by using the dual table.
    Since there is no record in the table, screen is displying only the lable. not displying the Input text box.? Any property is there to enable?.
    One more case i tried by using dual (eg Select '0' as name from dual) created one view object and dragged in the JSF screen as input combo box with list of values.
    In this case also it is not displaying the combo box.Just displaying the Lable name and 0 only.

  • How to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page AND move things

    I usually work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but am creating two newsletter templates in Pages for a colleague, since it will be easier for her. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page that is driving me crazy. I just want a nice blank page that I can do whatever I want with. AND, I can't figure out how to select things so that I can move them, like shapes and text boxes. Some things seem to move fine, then other things just sit there. I am at the end of my rope!!!

    Hi, Dylan. Welcome to Discussions.
    If you're referring to the area where you just start typing when you open a new blank document, you can't get rid of it. But you also don't have to use it. You can insert text boxes and size and position them as you desire. Just be sure they're defined as Fixed on Page. When one is full and you want to continue it to another page (or to the side), click in the blank blue box on the lower right side of the text box. That will create another box and your overflow text will flow into it. Then position it where needed.
    Also, you can create a text box the width of the page and then set it for 2 or more columns.
    When you want to send something to the back and you may want to access it again later, just use the send backward command. If you send it all the way to the back, it will be behind the main text layer (where it will be safe from acvcidental movement) but you will have to click outside the work area and then drag the pointer to the object to select it.
    Hope this helps to get you started.

  • How to add the value of the two text boxes in the 3rd text box in ssrs table?

    Hi ,
    in my ssrs table i encountered a situation where i need to computing for the two text box values and i have to show that value in page header.
    for example i have to add the textbox9 value and textbox12 value then i have to show that value in the page header.
    Please help me with this requirement.
    Thanks in advance,
    Naveen

    Hi NaveenMSBI,
    According to your description, you want to sum the value of two textboxes, then display it in a page header textbox.
    Just PrajapatiNeta said, an expression in a page header or footer can refer to only one report item. So we can create a hidden textbox named textbox20 with the expression below in the report body:
    =reportitems!textbox9.Value + reportitems!textbox12.Value
    Then use the expression below in a page header textbox:
    =reportitems!textbox20.Value
    Besides, please note that in a page header or page footer section, only text boxes on the current page are available as a member of the ReportItems collection. For example, if ReportItems!textbox20.Value refers to a text box that only appears on the first
    page for a multipage data region, you can see a value only for the first page.
    Reference:
    ReportItems Collection References (Report Builder and SSRS)

  • I have updated to the new version of iPhoto but it will no longer let me edit text in the preset text boxes.  The text is highlighted for a nanosecond but will not stay highlighted so I can amend it.  Can anyone help me with this.  Many thanks.

    You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:

    In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

  • InDesign CC is bringing in style sheets from Word and other places that I copy type from, like email, Acrobat. In InDesign CS4, whenever I brought in text from outside it assumed the paragraph style applied to the waiting text box. The loss of this functi

    I used to be able to get text from a Word doc (copy it), and then go into my CS4 InDesign file and paste it into a waiting box that had a paragraph style assigned to it and boom, it would take on the assigned paragraph style of that text box. Now it brings in the style from wherever the text came from. If the font looks similar to what was there it can be too hard to tell that it's different. When you are working on a book with 200 pages and copying text from Word docs and dropping it in here and there in InDesign, it causes alot of extra work and problems.
    In fact I have lost alot of security functions I used to have in CS4 in CC2014 in InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat and it is making me want to go back to CS4 in a hurry.

    I actually FINALLY found the answer!!!! In the preferences area you choose Clipboard Handling and then you choose "Text Only" under When Pasting Text and Tables from Other Applications (see photo).

  • Script that will automaticly set the focus to the next text box after the previous one is completed

    Specificly, entering a SSN into a form with three text boxes. 1st box for first 3 digits, 2nd box for middle 2 digits, and 3rd box for last 4 digits. I would like the user to be able to enter the 1st three digits into the 1st box, and after the 3rd digit is entered, the focus jumps to the 2nd box, then once the middle two are entered, the focus jumps the the 3rd box without having to manually use the tab key to advance through the boxes. Thanks.

    See JavaScript - setFocus Method for tabbing to next form field for a sample form that uses a document level script and custom keystroke script. See Entering Document Scripts and Entering scripts for form fields by Thom Parker for detailed instructions on entering or viewing these type of scripts.

  • Can I change the default text sizes in the Character Menu?

    At my last job I used a program called Creator to create the projects for which I now use InDesign.  In Creator there was a section in the Preferences that allowed you to specify what font sizes were in the drop down menu, but I don't see such a setting in InDesign.  Its not a huge deal, but its nice to have, say 20pt in your drop down menu as a type size if you use that particular size a lot, as opposed to typing it in every time.  Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?  Thanks!!

    Thanks Bob, I didn't think of that, I suppose that would work.  Basically I would just like to have more text sizes to choose from in the drop down menu, I guess its more an issue of laziness on my part than anything else.  I could make a character style for it, but then I'd probably have 10 different character styles just to change the size of my text when it would be less hassle just to type in the size I need.  I was just looking for a quick fix default option that I was used to having at my old job.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the Location Bar?

    I can use Alt+D to get to the Location Bar to type in a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page has been opened, by using a short-cut key? I didn't recognize any of the commands in the Shortcut Keys page as being what I want.

    This was helpful, but didn't really answer the question. Pressing Tab when I"m on the google Location Bar takes me to the search text box, which is what my motivation for writing the question was, but I notice that on many pages, it doesn't work. This page, for instance.
    I went to the about:config page and changed the <b>accessibility:tabfocus</b> from 1 (tab through every element) to 5 (only tab to the text boxes and links) but it seems to still tab through every element.

  • Changing text features (font, point size etc) in multiple text boxes at the same time

    That pretty much says it all: I'm using pages for some simple initial rendering to send my graphic designer and it would save me some time if I could change the font & point-size for all the various text boxes at the same time.
    Cheers,
    Rax

    Thank you both!
    How 'bout changing the actual content uniformly? Am I still stuck changing each box individually? I know that I am pushing it to do things that it wasn't made for, but I can dream, can't I?
    Thanks again,

  • Someone said to add the title on each web page on the main text box. Which is that?

    I read in the discussion items that you should not bother with meta tags but just wirte the title in your main text box on each page with the word image in the beginning. Where in the main text box? The first one on the page? That has my web page title. Help. Judy

    iWeb uses the textbox in the Header layer of an iWeb page as the title in the browserwindow.
    Do not remove the original textbox, as you cannot replace it other than by selecting another theme and then change it back to the original theme again. Ruining the layout in the process.
    If the textbox in the Header is missing, iWeb uses a textbox down the page in the Content layer. If that textbox is also missing, it uses another textbox. If that fails it uses the pagename in the Sidebar.
    Sometimes you may want a different text in the titlebar and not display it on the page itself. Or not display it at all.
    So use that textbox in the Header layer. Type your text. Then select the textbox. In the Inspector choose T, click a color to open the color palette and drag the opacity slider to 0 (zero).
    Do Command-T to open the font palette and make the font smaller. (Or do Command--(minus)) Also use a font that doesn't change to an image. Arial is a good font. Perhaps do it first before making the text invisble.
    Resize the textbox. You may want to change the height of the Header layer.
    Do Command-Shift-B to move the textbox to the back, possibly behind other objects.
    Next add a optional second textbox to the Header layer and use that one to display text on the page.
    If you want to move the textbox to the front again to make changes, but can't remember the location on the page, drag the area with the mouse to select the objects.
    Deselect objects you do not want to move forward by Command-dragging the mouse over these objects.
    Next do Command-Shift-F to move the textbox to the front. Repeat the steps in reverse order to make the text visible.
    Practice.

  • I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there.  What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there.  What am I doing wrong?

    Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking.  Filters are basically ignored by the tracker.  Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker.  Did you change the timing after doing the tracking?  If so this would also require you to re-track the shot.  Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.
    Cheers!

  • How to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text

    how to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text. In other words how to break the line in the code of a text box.
    thank you

    There are a couple of ways of doing this:
    If you're editing on the canvas, press Shift + Enter.
    If you're working in Express View (see lower right hand corner of Project Siena), you'll need to copy a hard return from another app such as Notepad.
    I believe a better implementation of hard returns are in the list of requested functionality that you can find here:

    I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form.  However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer.  Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

    While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

  • I am trying to make a Birthday card for my sons 2nd birthday, and It keeps saying both about the "default text" and now that it wont fit on the paper. but everything seems fine....HELP???

    please help!

    Are you using iPhoto '11 on a Mac?
    Try to print your Card (using the main menu bar "File > Print" or save the printed version to pdf.
    Then you can check, which text still is default. The default text will be missing from your print - see for example the screenshot below. Also you can check the measurements on your printed copy. In the print menu you can use the arrow buttons to step through the pages of your card.
