Adobe Illustrator CS5-Classroom in a book

It's taken me a couple of hours to get to page 26 and now I am stuck.  I am finding the software does not always work as described by the book.  I am on Lesson 00, Working with type.  I follow the directions, which I have read over and over again, but my type does not show up on the graphic. A tiny blue box appears where the type should be though.  Has anyone else encountered this problem and conquered it?

Kurt,
Adding text to a graphic using Type.  Instructions:
#1. Choose Window > Workspace > Essentials to reset the panels.
#2. Select the Type tool, and click once on the artboard in an area where there are no objects.  You will reposition the text later in the lesson.
#3.  Type FelliciTea.
No text shows up, only a tiny blink.
Was it inappropiate for me to ask this question on this forum? If so, could you please direct me to where I can get help?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 Classroom in a Book

    Hello,
    I've bought the "Adobe Photoshop CS5 Classroom in a Book" and watched the videos.  In the video training, chapter 3 Image Editing Concepts, Kelly announces that she will deal selections, puppet wraps, layers, masks. I haven't found the videos. Do you know where I can find those videos?
    Thanks

    Hi Nini Tjäder,
    Thanks for the link but I actually have the book that shows the same thing except the links from amazon unfortunately doesn't show the tools and what they do. Thanks anyways. I was able to find a site that shows the list of tools like in the book but better in one single page. I just wish I knew what my professor meant by "concepts" and "skills" since there could be a variety of these but what?

  • Can you use Adobe Illustrator CS4 Classroom in a book tutorials(on CD rom) without buying the software?

    I recently purchased Adobe Illustrator Classroom In a book CS4, and am having trouble getting to the lessons through the CD-rom which came with the book. My question is do I need to purchase the Illustrator CS4 product to use the tutorials/lessons? I would REALLY appreciate some help, it's needed for a college credit for a design major. Thank you!!

    There's the trial version that you can download from adoble.com.  I think it's good for 30 days.  Other than that, doesn't your school have a computer lab?
    There's no way to open the files and work with them other than in a copy of Illustrator.  You might be able to open them in inkscape (free) or Freehand (no longer available) but then what are you learning?  Not Illustrator...
    [edit]  You should be able to get most of the lessons done in an older version of Illy though, which might be more affordable (if you can find them for sale)

  • Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Classroom in a Book Chapter 10

    While converting my vertical menu library item to a Spry Vertical Menu, my <div.content> element dropped down on the page. Pages 244-45 offer a "fix" for this issue (deleting the second ul.MenuBarVertical rule) and I did this, but <div.content> still isn't returning to its origional position (i.e. it's still dropping to the bottom right of the vertical Spry Menu Bar Menu Bar 1 (side_content) and directly to the right of the div .sidebar1).
    I'm running DW CS5.5 on my machine, will this make a difference?

    Thanks for the suggestion, Hans.  Unfortunately, I'm using a different type of Spry Menu than what Gramps was referring to.  Attached is a screenshot that might help provide a visual of what's going on.  Main_content should float to the right of side_content.  I've tried resizing the width of the Spry Menu in side_content, but that doesn't seem to work.  Instead, main_content will either float further to the right, or it will slightly overlap the sidebar image placeholder.  Any suggestions? I can provide code if needed.

  • Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Classroom in A Book

    Hi! I'm having trouble with the last lesson (17) when uploading to the web server. My issue is that when I uploaded the .php files (dynamic pages) they do not work on the web host at all. In other words, how to do I configure the php pages with the databases?
    When I try to open the .php files I get an error message:
    Warning:  mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/a3414097/public_html/Connections/LocalPHP.php on line 9
    Fatal error:  Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/a3414097/public_html/Connections/LocalPHP.php on line 9
    Can I even have the LocalPHP.php file since I'm uploading to a host on the internet?

    SnakEyez02,
    Well, I tried setting a database on 00webhost but I don't know how to tie everything together? In other words, I have a connections folder with LocalPHP.php but thats a localhost (virtual) PHP database file... how do i convert/change it to remote server on 00webhost? I have to contact the actual 00webhost representatives and ask them for help? Is there a way to resolve the issue with PHP by myself? Could you help me configure the database on the remote (00webhost) server and write a procedure on how to alter my LocalPHP.php file or additional code to be appropriate for remote server trasfers?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Illustrator 10 Classroom in a Book CD-ROM files

    Hi Folks,
      I've had Illustrator 10 for sometime now, the student version, and I recently purchased the Adobe Illustrator 10 Classroom in a Boob at my local Salvation Army without the accompanying CD-ROM.
    I know that Illustrator 10 is old but so is my system (Win. XP Pro) so I would need to purchase a new system plus the new vs. of Illustrator and to be honest i just don't have that right now, so ...
    I'm hoping someone can tell me where I can get my hands on a copy of the Illustrator 10 Classroom in a Book CD so I can start using the book and learn to use Illustrator 10; at least with some basic understanding of the program I can get my foot in the door somewhere, even as an intern.
    Any help would be grately appreciated.
    Thank You

    Hi Monika,
      My apologies for such a late reply, life has a way of showing up in very interesting ways ...
    Thank you for your reply and suggestion, much appreciated.  I didn't find the title "Adobe Illustrator 10, Classroom in a Book" in either AdobePress.com or Peachpit.com, the title is to old and they no longer carry it, which is why I posted the question here in hopes of someone still having a copy of the CD and perhaps be willing to share the exercise files.
    I guess I may have no other recourse but to try ebay and the like, as you suggested.
    Thank You

  • Free Excerpts from Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Classroom in a Book

    Hi Guys,
    I just posted a new blog with links to excerpts from the Adobe Premiere Pro Classroom in a Book. Along with the excerpts are links to the pertinent topics in Help. These links should clear up any confusion you may come across as you work through the excerpts.
    If you are new to Adobe Premiere Pro or are switching from another NLE, I can highly recommend this book. The links to the excerpts are here on my blog.
    By the way, at the bottom of the blog post are links to free excerpts for Adobe After Effects, including video tutorials.

    Adobe is getting better all the time, should  have been easy to read 5 years ago, it does give you more confidence.
    Thanks

  • CS5 Classroom in a Book Delayed AGAIN

    Amazon just sent me a notice that Premiere Pro CS5 Classroom in a Book is delayed again
    The new "possible" date is somewhere between Sept 8th to the 14th
    I will HOPE this means that the author(s) are working with Adobe to document the latest program features

    You know, Curt needs to give up any hope a "real life," and get busy!!! He has buyers clamoring.

    PS - it's probably all completely written, and Adobe Press is the holdup here. At least that's my guess.

  • How do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book

    how do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book?

    Do you have a copy of Illustrator installed?
    Then just begin at page 1, read it and practice what you read. Step by step.
    If you don't understand parts of it, dive into the manual as well or ask a question in this forum. But mind that not everybody has a copy of the Classroom in a book. So you need to ask your questions precisely and post screenshots of your artwork.

As far as i know I'm using Adobe Java 7. None of my CS5 suite works anymore............and i really dont want to upgrade to a monthly cloud service fee as i hate this policy with a passion.

    This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
    I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked  OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks!
