Adjusting the layout to print all the text

Could anyone tell me how to adjust the layout in Pages? I've developed a marketing postcard and some of my copy on the far right of the card is covered by a light grey frame that I believe is the layout. All the margins are set to zero and I've tried to pick the layout from the ruler, to no avail. How do I move the layout (light grey frame) so I can print all my copy?

Hello Evelyn
From your description I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to. If you select View > Show Layout and then drag the corner of your window so that more than your page is shown on the right. You should see a dark grey box on the right hand side of the window. This is just so you can see the edge of your page.
You will find that your page is outlined by a thin light grey border. This represents the area of your page that your printer cannot print on. Pages picks this up from the print driver for the printer you have selected in Page Setup or the default printer. This can sometimes be quite large - on my printer it is 0.25cm.
Within the light grey border is the printable area of your page. You will notice that on a new blank document this consists of boxes for the header, a single column of text and a footer. You can control the dimensions of these by adjusting the relevant settings in the Inspector.
From your description of margins set to zero I suspect that you are referring to the non-printable area but you should see it around all of the page not just on the right hand side. Your printer may support borderless printing but how the OS X driver and Pages interact with this facility will be very device specific. You could try fiddling with the setup but the simplest solution would be to adjust the layout so that your copy fits within the printable boundary. It is pretty easy to do.
I hope this helps you but if you are talking about something else, please reply with a more detailed description.

How to adjust the text in input field

Hi Expert,
New in VC development. Can someone guide how to adjust the text in input field? Because of long text length it is not displaying fully in visual composer iView so user are not able to see the entire text in input fields

HI Kundan,
I assume that you have already tried different options perent in Label Postion for the field.
If none of these options meet your requirement then you can try the following workaround:
In the display properties, select label position as no label.
In the form view add a new UI Control for Plain Text or HTML text and change its Label to "Material Number".
Now place this new UI Control in before your actual Input field such that it appears as the field label.
Hope this helps.

Setting a label with the text from cmd

I know that label.setText("sdf"); usually prints out what ever we set in the label. But what i need help in is actually to get the text from the command prompt and print it unto the label. I'm doing a school project that requires users to click a GUI component menu "start server". This actually calls a batch file that connects the pc and a mobile phone with bluetooth. So, actually when the server(pc) is connecting, it prints out text like : "connecting..." . I want to disable the command prompt and actually print all those text unto a label on the GUI. Please help me somebody.

these are three classes that object_au suggested might help me to print things from a cmd to a label:-

Cmd brings up dashboard, can I change it? I used to use it to change the text size in Pages

Upgraded to lion and all is good. However, cmd+ has been hyjacked by the OS to bring up the dashboard. I use cmd+ and cmd- to change the text size in Pages. Is there a way to change the Lion keyboard shortcuts to get the functionality back for Pages? The cmd- still works to reduce text size in Pages, so it's even more frustrating that cmd+ does something else.
thanks in advance

Well on my MBP running Lion 10.7.2 Command+ or - does not do anything, and that is using either Command+ or Command(+ shift)+. I do not have pages installed.
The point is that Command+ and Command- should control the text size in Pages (we're not talking about any othr program, just Pages). Those are hard-set (programmed in the software) keyboard commands for Pages.
In Pages, Command+ should increase the text size, and not bring up the Dashboard. And that is the OP's problem - that command is bringing up Dashboard, which it should not do. Apparently there is some setting somewhere that is causing Command+ to do the wrong thing - and that's what we're trying to find.
So at least on my MBP Command+ certainly does not bring up the Dashboard....
Good - it's not supposed to, nor is that what the OP wants.
By the way, if you use Safari and/or Mail, you'll find that Command+ and Command- adjust the text size in those programs. Ditto Numbers, TextEdit, Bean, and many other programs - it's a fairly common assignment, hence not one which usually needs to be added via Keyboard Shortcuts.

How do I change the text color of desktop icons in OS X Yosemite?

I have a lighter background for my finder and keep many icons on it. Due to the lighter background, I need to adjust the text color of the icon to a darker color. I can't locate where to adjust from the default (white) to a grey.

Thank you for your response. My icons are difficult to read on a light background. Are there any third party modifications available? TinkerTool does not have this capability.
I do not know of any 3rd party apps to do the mod currently.
You can change the background pic or modify the original BG by underexposing it for better contrast.

Can I enlarge the text and/or icons in Photoshop CS5 or Bridge CS5?

My sight is poo rand I'd like to make the text and icons larger in Photoshop and Bridge CS5. Can it be done? I have a 27" monitor.

That is a problem then. I can adjust my text sizes in the palette titles, menus, title bars etc. in windows and it has had the desired effect in CS and CC. There is a problem with the text size in CC 2014 however that many are experiencing including myself. I still use CC most of the time because of the bug. Although I'm running 8.1, adjusting the text size in 8.0 and 7 worked just the same with renditions of Photoshop prior to 2014.
Good luck.

How do I make the margin beneath the text in a text box smaller?

Hi-
I'm trying to either make the inner margin in a text box smaller, or align the text on the bottom of the text box in fireworks. (by text box, I mean the box surrounding a text element).
With the extra space beneath the text, I can't place the text box close enough to the element beneath it without the two boxes overlapping. Not sure I'm making this clear; please see the screenshot.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Ahhh... that's a really good reason. It *would* be nice if Fireworks' text boxes could emulate the CSS box model and include features like background, border, padding, etc.
When you say that "adjusting the text box padding" didn't work for you, do you mean "adjusting baseline shift"? Because baseline shift should have absolutely no effect on the bounding box itself (though I don't know what it's effect is on exporting to HTML + CSS). The box itself stays rock solid, while the individual letters move up or down.
Nevertheless, it's not the greatest solution. In this context, if you want to preserve the flow of your text content while maintaining maximum control over its appearance—and avoid the conversion to absolute positioning—your best bet might be to use a single text box. If you think about it, there are plenty of ways to control the placement and appearance of text within a single box (although it may not be how you prefer to work). Keeping things "in flow" should keep them from being absolutely positioned upon conversion.
Aaron Beall has developed a nice set of Text commands for Fireworks—including a "Merge Text Boxes" command that could be helpful to you if you wanted to combine your multiple boxes into a single text box. (I was originally wondering if anyone might have developed a command to snap the bounding box of text to the text itself—to its inner "raw" dimensions—but I didn't find one.)

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I'd like students to be able to view my comments on printed version of their papers.

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I am a teacher, and I would like students to be able to view my comments on printed versions of their papers. I know word displays the comments off to the side of the document, and those comments can be viewed all at once and printed alongside the document.

There doesn't appear to be a way to print conmments in either Pages or Numbers in the Mavericks versions.

I have made a book of my I Photo pictures. In certain layouts there is a textframe. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything? Should I just leave it or should I delete the text "Write your text here" ?

I have made a book of my iPhoto pictures. In certain layouts there is a text frame. How can I avoid the frame becoming visible in the print if I don't want to write anything? Should I just leave it untouched or should I delete the instructing text "Write your text here"?

Most pages have layouts for pictures only or pictures with text boxes. Either select the same layout for that page but the one without the text box or put a space in the text box.
Putting a space in the text box will avoid getting the warning when ordering that there's an unfilled text box in the book. The box will not be visible in the final product. You can and should check the book before ordering by previewing it as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it

How do you print from the text (multiline) option so that all of the text is included?

I'm trying the trial version of formscentral and have made a form. In this form I used the text (multiline) option. I saved the form as a pdf and filled it out to test it. When I go to print the form the only text that appears is what's visible on the screen. How do I print the form so that all of the information is depicted?

This is something we are working on fixing but in the mean time what you can do is one of two things :
1) make the multiline fields taller so that it would fit all the text in the responses.
      You can do that by going to the Desing Tab and dragging the bottom right corner of a multiline text fields to make them bigger.
2) print the Detail View instead.
      From the View Responses Tab go to View > Detail View.
      Select the response you want to print
      Press on the printer icon at the bottom of the Detail View.
      This will print the data in a name/value pair format.

How do I print all of the text in a scrollable form field?

How do I print all of the text in a scrollable form field? When I print the form, the text becomes cut off based on the size of the field and displays a little plus sign in the lower right hand corner indicating more text. I want to print all of the text.

The form is HTML which means what you see in your browser window is what you will see in your print out. You can, as the form author, view the submitted data in the View Responses tab and print that out. You can also export the responses to Excel, CSV, or PDF and print that out.

If I print an email after it's sent, it prints out Subj, from,date,to and text info. I want to print all this info before I send, not just the text. How?

If I address and compose an email and try to print it before I send it, it only prints the text, not the "Subject," "From, Date," and "To" lines in the email. After I send it, if I go into the sent register and print the same e-mail it prints out all these lines along with the text.
I want to print the email before I send it and have the print-out contain all these lines along with the text. How do I set Thunderbird to do this all the time?

You will get the details you want if you print from the draft folder.

Printing all text inside the scrollbar in Text Field -Adobe Form

Hello,
I'm creating a form in Adobe Designer 7.0 with a Text Field that allows the user to enter as much information as they want. How do I set it to so that when the form is printed all the information that's entered also prints? Right now it only prints what's visible on the text box that I've defined. I have set the Text Field to Allow Multiple Line and Expand to Fit.
Thank-you.

Sure, you could do that fairly easily with just a bit JavaScript. It would have to be done by someone with Acrobat who receives the filled-in form. The text from the fields could be extracted and placed in a text file attachment that you create with JavaScript, and then extract the file attachment.
For the general methods you'd use, see:
createDataObject: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html
exportDataObject: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.463.html
Another less flexible approach is to extract to a tab delimited text file: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.460.html
For this, you can specify just the fields you want to include, so you don't have to bother with all of the fields in the form being included.
