Adding a rectangle behind every piece of text in CS5
Hi,
I am making a series of map tiles (30) and would like to have a white rectangle behind every peice of black text in a certain layer. I know how to add a rectangle and position it behind the text, but want to avoid this repetive process.
I understand that each piece of text has a 'bounding box' - is there a way to add a fill to this box for all text at once?
Thanks,
Mike.
Mike,
You may:
1) Select all the instances of Type,
2) In the Appearance palette flyout tick Add New Fill, drag it down below Characters, and change its colour to white,
3) With the white Fill selected, Effect>Convert to Shape with the desired oversize.
Edit: Once again, hi Kurt.

Dear All
Hello from rainy, windy and cold North East England! I need to ask for your help as I'm new to iMac and new to iWeb and it's frustrating the life out of me!
I'm just beginning to build a website for my business. Previously, I used Frontpage, but it's been that long since I used it - I've forgotten half of it and so, I'm using iWeb instead as it's silly to use an iMac for business but a PC laptop for the website design.
I've got the background image I want on the homepage (beautiful image of a rain forest - even if I do say so myself!) and I'm trying to enter a text box at the lower half of the screen, in the centre of the page saying 'click to enter'. I type in the text, I edit it so as to change it to the font style of my company (Gill sans MT) and then I publish the site to a folder so that I can see what it would look like when viewed via the internet. When I do this - the font changes size to a bog standard size of 'so small you need a magnifying glass to read it', it changes colour from black to purple (which looks disgusting) and it changes font style from Gill Sans MT to Times New Roman.
It doesn't matter if I delete the entire site and start again or delete the text box, and insert a new one. I've googled this subject until I'm blue in the face and I can't find an answer - can anyone suggest anything that will help?
Many thanks for your help,
Best wishes,
Sean.Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: If you don't use Web Safe Fonts any computer that does not have that font installed will substitute another font for it and change the look and feel of the web page.
So it's safest to use one of those web safe fonts.

Slanted rectangle behind text - any chance to automate the process?
Hi there,
I would like to create effect which you can see on this image:
The black and orange rectangles behind the capitals. The source which is pictured above comes from professional studio. They put separate rectangle behind the textframe:
Imagine, that you create a catalog of 500 products. Each product has one black and one color rectangle. There are 20 different color codes for the bottom rectangle (these rectangles vary a bit in length, depending on the size of the text above). I feel putting a square object to the bottom layer like a bit clumsy approach. It is like creating paragraph dividers by Line Tool. Could you recommend some more tidier way for this? I am almost sure, that I will put a thousand of those rectangles to the layout and the client will decide ( a day before print), that "the reversed skew would look more professional"…
The best way for this would be a Paragraph rule, but — what a surprise — no chance to skew the ends.
I tried to create the new stroke preset, but no skew options.
I also skewed the line manually and try to create the Object Style from it. The skew was not inherited by the new Object Style.
Do I really do this manually in the age of spaceflights, cellphones and even electric tea kettles?
Thank you!Hi all,
Marc Autret has confirmed me his OK to unveil this great code.
AjustementMagique.jsx permits a horizontal "scaling", in particular for tables. It works fine with ID CS4 (a very little bug sometimes). Not tested with CS5.
But ... it does not work under ID CS6, CC and CC 2014!
Marc gives his blessing to the heroes who would wish to do the update!
Enjoy!

How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?
How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code? I would prefer to just run through a set of code every time I need a polygon. If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.
>>How would I go about adding multiple rectangles using the same lines of code?
You could create a method that creates and returns x number of Rectangle elements:
public IEnumerable<Rectangle> CreateRectangles(int numberOfRectsToCreate)
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfRectsToCreate; ++i)
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
rect.Fill = Brushes.Blue;
rect.Width = 100;
rect.Height = 100;
yield return rect;
..and then call this method from anywhere in your code:
IEnumerable<Rectangle> rects = CreateRectangles(5);
foreach (Rectangle rect in rects)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
yourStackPanel.Children.Add(rect);
>>If I just have to create multiple polygon adding statements that's fine but I'd prefer just 1.
When adding Point objects to a Polygon you can only add one per call to the Add method but you could call the Add method inside a loop, e.g:
for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
//add to StackPanel or do whatever with the Rectangle elements:
Polygon p = new Polygon();
p.Points.Add(new Point());

My husband got a new phone number, however, every time he texts me it says it's coming from his old phone number. I've even deleted him from my contacts and my hotmail contacts, resynced my hotmail contacts, then added my husband as a new contact. Both of his phones were iPhones but his previous carrier was Verizon and his new carrier is Viaero. I'm still on Verizon.
I've fixed my own problem.
In the end, the issue was with iMessage on the other phone, not mine.
While I had it connected to iTunes (the other phone, not mine), I could see that iTunes thought it was the temporary number (07429...). I turned iMessage off and back on again and the phone number in iTunes changed to the old (i.e correct) number (07903...).
Subsequently, texts from my phone to the other phone showed up as blue-bubbled iMessages.
Hope this helps someone!

Hi, My name is Bheki Yende
I'm experiencing a problem with an app I've just purchased from iTunes, I have tried every piece of advice from the "iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store" and still nothing is working. I would like to get my refund on this pls.
This is an inconvenience, I don't understand why I have to contact the developer for a faulty product in your store.
I've paid iTunes to get this, so iTunes must fix this problem for me or give my money back.
ThanksThis is a user forum, you are not speaking to Apple here.
You will need to contact iTunes support here, regarding this issue. They will usually respond within 24 hours. -
Getting the Physical Length of a Piece of Text (in mm etc.) in Javascript
I'm trying to write a script in Indesign CS5 (Windows) that can measure the physical, 'rendered' length of two pieces of text of similar length (in mm etc.), calculate the average length of the two, and adjust the tracking/horizontal scale of one or both of the pieces of text so that the physical length of both texts are the same.
I need a script because this task must be done thousands of time in a long document.
I'm struggling to find a way to access the 'rendered' length of a piece of text in Javascript.
I know among the attributes of a text box is whether the text has overrun. So I could copy the text to a special text-box, and use a for loop to reduce the dimentions of the text box, 1mm at a time, until the text box overruns, thus determining the length..
I could also get the length of a rendered string using python with it's built in GUI toolkit Tkinter:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2922295/calculating-the-pixel-size-of-a-string-with-pyt hon
And then have an indesign script that takes some data from the python script and sets the tracking/horizontal in Indesign with some fudge factors.
Both ideas seem like real kludges.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks
DavidYou can simply iterate through each line in text to get the widest line. Something like this:
Main();
function Main() {
var text = app.selection[0],
minLength, maxLength, start, end;
for (var i = 0; i < text.lines.length; i++) {
start = text.lines[i].characters[0].horizontalOffset,
end = text.lines[i].characters[text.lines[i].characters.length-1].horizontalOffset;
if (minLength == undefined || start < minLength) {
minLength = start;
if (maxLength == undefined || end > maxLength) {
maxLength = end;
var length = maxLength - minLength;
$.writeln(length);
But this approach seems to be a little less precise than creating outlines since (I guess) it measures up to the beginning of the last character; discretionary hyphens, line brakes, etc. are not included into the measurement. -
Problems rendering Every-line Composer texts with Adobe Media Encoder
I find the text paragraph setting "Adobe Every-line Composer" a huge time saver when dealing with large amounts of text in after effects. I rarely have to do any manual tracking or line breaks to make it look good, as opposed to working with the standard Single-line Composer.
The problem is that when I render through Adobe Media Encoder (which I'm forced to do since they removed H264-mp4 support from AE:s internal renderer) the text is treated like single-line composed text. So the final render doesn't look like my AE project.
I've found two solutions to this problem:
1. Render a lossless video file in the AE renderer and then compress it with Media Encoder. This takes more time and HDD space, and it doesn't allow me to continue working in AE while rendering.
2. Only use Single-line composed text and make all adjustments manually, the old school way. This would not be a problem if I had not already used, and fallen in love with, the Every-line option.
Is there anyone that can think of a third, and preferably better, solution?
I use the CC 2014 versions of AE and AMC.No, the text doesn't animate at all. It's just a normal static text box. The text part is extremely simple. All animations are done in other layers and pre-comps, combined with pre-rendered 3D graphics from Cinema 4D, rendered as image sequences. My problem is a bug, plain and simple. Or perhaps you could call it a "lack of feature support" or an "incompatibility between AE and Adobe Media Encoder".
My problem appears only when my AE project has text boxes with the "Every-line Composer" option enabled (press the menu button in the Paragraph window to find it), AND the project is rendered through Adobe Media Encoder, no matter which output format I use. I have no problems what so ever inside of after effects, or when rendering Single-line Composer text in AMC.
So, the problem is that Media Encoder doesn't recognize Every-line composed text. Instead it changes it to Single-line composed text, messing up text tracking and line breaks.
To clarify: the Adobe Every-line Composer is analyzing the entire text box instead of only the current line. That way it can automatically change the tracking of individual lines to better distribute the line breaks and build a better whole, avoiding those stray words on the last line for example. Extremely handy, if you could only render it.
I never wrote anything about animating text or that the codec is related to the text problems in any way. AMC is the problem. The codec is only a secondary problem since its the lack of mp4 H264 support that forces me to use Media Encoder in the first place, instead of using the AE render queue as I did in previous versions of AE. I like many things about rendering through AMC, like being able to continue working in AE while rendering, but there are still way too many glitches. And of course, there's the inability to render flv-files in AMC CC 2014, and Adobe's inability to provide a solution other than "Use an older version of AMC". Flv is their own damn format for christ's sake.
Well, enough rambling.
To put it simple:
Has anyone had a problem with "Every-line Composer" in combination with Adobe Media Encoder? Did you find a solution other than the two less-than-perfect ones in my first message?
Thanks! -
Returning a piece of text in a SELECT
Hello!
I'm doing a search in a table that has four fields:
ID
NAME varchar(128)
TEXT1 varchar(500)
TEXT2 varvhar(500)
Well, I need to search for a word in fields TEXT1 and TEXT2. My
first step is to do the following:
SELECT ID,NAME
FROM TABLE
WHERE CONTAINS(TEXT1,'word',1) > 0
AND CONTAINS(TEXT2,'word',2) > 0
Well, til here is all ok, but now... I need something more
difficult:
I need to obtain for each ID, the piece (or the first piece) of
text where 'word' was found on, considering that this word can
be allocated in TEXT1 or in TEXT2.
Thank you very much!!
Carlos MorenoCarlos...
I'm not familiar with the CONTAINS function, but I'll assume it
returns a number greater than zero when the desired condition is
met.
The way your where clause is written, the result set will
include only those rows from TABLE where 'word' is in BOTH TEXT1
and TEXT2.
I'm guessing about what you want, but here goes...
SELECT id
, name
, CONCAT( DECODE( SIGN( CONTAINS(text1,'word',1) )
, 1, CONCAT( 'From text1: '
SUBSTR( text1
, 1
, INSTR( text1
, 'word'
) + 3

SUBSTR( text2

) AS text
FROM table
WHERE CONTAINS(text1,'word',1) > 0
AND CONTAINS(text2,'word',2) > 0
;The column text should contain the contents of columns text1 and
text2 up to 'word', prepended with the 'From text1;' and 'From
test2:'
If the AND in the where clause is replaced with and OR, then the
parts of text1 and text2 will only be returned if the
contain 'word'.
I did not test this code.
Good Luck...

I cannot copy a piece of text within my web cms, security prohibited
when i open my cms fom the website, i like to copy a piece of text, but the warning comes, that the browser prohibited it seems to be a security issue .
Pls help
i just want to copy and paste within my cms.Let's start with something very basic, and that is, you do not need to use the paste button on most websites. The button just reads what is on your clipboard and sticks it into the form. You can do that yourself using Ctrl+v or right-click>Paste.
For your security, I suggest using those standard Windows keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+x cut, Ctrl+c copy, Ctrl+v paste) or the context menu.
Occasionally you will find a paste button that runs a clean-up script or otherwise does something useful. That is where the (admittedly a bit complicated) instructions come in handy.
To open your active profile folder, you can use:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Which help article are you using for the modifications?
Finally, please be cautious in opening up your clipboard to sites. You may have stuff you copied from other pages or other programs that you do not want to share with most sites. -

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Mail supports multiple undos. Keep on undoing from the Edit menu! Not sure how far back that undo buffer is, but keep on trying. If it doesn't work, test it so you know for the future. -
Finding A Piece Of Text Within A Text?
Hi.
I am trying to create a program to find a piece of text within a file (containing text). I know that my life could be made much easier if I had the util.java.regex package but it doesn't seem to import.
I am working on a Windows XP Platform.
I have tried the Hello World program which works fine but it is just trying to import this package...I am trying to work through this slowly so that I can understand each stage... so where I have come upto now is why does the following code not compile. I am just interested in taking a .txt file at the standard input which is used to serach against an Actor's name that I specify in the next (argument?) line?
Thanks for all the help
My Code so far...
import java.io.*;
// This line always has to be put in
public class MyFirstFileReadingAppTwo
// Main method
public static void main (String args[])
// Stream to read file
System.out.print("Enter your filename: ");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileInputStream (System.in));
String userName = null;
try
// Open the input stream
String file = br.readLine();
BufferedReader reader2 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
// Read a line of text
System.out.println(new
ln(new (fin).readLine() );
// Close our input stream
fin.close();
// Catches any error conditions
catch (IOException e)
System.err.println ("Unable to read from file");
System.exit(-1);

Adapt a piece of text to a curved shape?
Hi to all,
i want to adapt a piece of text to a curved shape, you have
some examples here:
http://www.saveyourmovies.com/images/text/TextEffect_ReShape_001.gif
Is it possible with FH MX 11? how can i do it?
if it is not possible, do you know any app to do it?
NOTE: im a mac user, but lets try it windows users.I made this example for you;
http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/2480/testingtoolsgt4.jpg
(if url is not working, erase all after .jpg)
First type and make your curve, mark both and use Attach to
Path
Then you see some kerning faults that you can take care of, I
didn´t, and after this you convert to paths
If you can find an Xtra toolbar, you will probably have a few
tools to distort with
I used Fisheye Lens and then 3D Rotation after that
If you then would like color fills, maybe gradients you can
do it in one step, or ungroup and treat each letter as you like...
Good luck! -
Every time I text my wife's I phone it sends the same text to me.
I share an apple account with my wife. Every time I text her I phone from my I phone I get the same message sent back to me.

When you use the same AppleID to setup iMessage, you both end up sharing the same iMessage account. The cleanest solution to your problem is for one of you to get another AppleID and use that for your iMessage, thus completely separating eachothers iMessage accounts.
Each of you can have as many AppleIDs as you wish (all you need is a unique primary email for each one, using free email accounts, for example). And, you can use a different AppleID for each service that Apple offers - iCloud, iMessage, iTunes, the App store, these forums,...
So, you can both use a common AppleID for all your purchased content from iTunes and the App store, but use different and unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage so those accounts are not shared.
