Being blocked from repositioning text box

Hi there,
I must confess to being very new to LiveCycle.  I am trying to turn one of our forms into an electonic fillable one, and have been lucky so far with what I have done.  However I am stuck badly now, and it does't make sense.
Please see the attachment which will highlight the problem.
When I try to move that text box, that vertical orange line appears and it won't let me move the text box into the box where i want it.  I can move it left and right, but not precise enough at all to get the box where its needed.
This has not happened at all before, and is only affecting this text box.  The text boxes are all formatted the same, and are copies of each other.  When I tried adding a new text box I still get the same problem.
Can anyone please shed some light on this?  I have tried looking through the help, but have no idea what it would be under so didn't get far.
Also, is there a way to create one text box and have it duplicated accoss a whole row (to match the grid on the pdf)?
Many thanks,
Steve

Hey,
I can't say for sure what is causing the positioning issue, as I've never seen what you are describing, and the picture is a bit fuzzy. As for your question regarding the multiple textboxes per row, I would suggest looking into the table object. You can defined as many rows/columns as you need, and each cell can be set to act as a fillable textbox, a static text element, or pretty much any other form element that you can think of (including a subform, which is very useful).
I usually stay away from tables, as I prefer having the ability to specify exactly how eveything looks/acts/feels, but I think tables would be perfect for your situation, as you are making a grid of sorts... without a table, that would be a lot of text boxes to manage.
Additionally, this might very well bypass the poitioning issue that you're seeing (whatever it may be).
Sorry if this wasn't 100% helpful, but best of luck to you.

    How to hide cut/copy/paste/Replace… menu on the UIWebView when it is being displayed over the keyboard.
    Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
    I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
    Any clues will help a lot.
    Thanks.

  • Passing parameters to the SQL Report from a text box in jsp

    Hi All,
    I want to dynamically generate the SQL Server Reporting Services by passing the query parameter from the url like this :
    "http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fDashboardReports%2fHorse_Profile&rs:Command=Render&rs:HorseID=117415"
    Where horseid id my parameter which is needed by report to generate the required data.
    This query paramter value is picked from the text box on my jsp page.
    But my problem is when i go to this url it says the message
    "The 'HorseID' parameter is missing a value ".
    I have done a lot of search on this topic. Everybody says that we can pass the values from the url like i am using. But still its not working.
    Any body has any idea please give me some idea.
    Regards.

    If you receive a picture via email or text message in ios 7 and when you press the action icon to save the picture and you do not get the option to save to your camera roll. Press and hold on the the image and you will get an overlay pop up to save the image. I have no idea why some attachments don't have option in action menu to save in the camera roll but by experimentation and earned frustration I found the above to work in certain situations.
    Be well and have fun and feel rewarded in your frustrations. For without challenges, life would be an utter bore.

    This is iweb development where after publishing, things look different in IE than other browsers. U r correct that this is due to IE software but is iWeb related. After all, one uses iweb not to just publish in Safari but for all browsers.
    Which means that you are only considering half of the problem, but that's your choice.

  • Exporting Text from multiple text boxes?

    I'm using InDesign CS3 on the Macintosh. I need to export text from multiple text boxes/stories into one text file. The Export File command only exports text when the text tool is selected and the cursor is in the text box. Unfortunately, I have 8-20 individual text boxes per page, none are linked, and my document is 100+ pages, so selecting each text box individually is much too time consuming. There must be a better way - Please help!
    Thanks!
    Carolyn

    The text exporter plug-in seems to work! I did a quick test - text still will need some clean-up to make sure it's in the correct order, but MUCH better than exporting each story individually. THANKS!

  • Can numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and calls?

    You have to check with your carrier. I know Verizon you can log in and block calls.
    You can not selectively do this on the phone.

  • How can i release text from a text box?

    How can I release text from a text box? I want the shape of the text box without the text in it.

    So all you need is to make a line around the text?
    For this you don't need to release the text box from the text. Just apply a stroke to it.

  • I am being blocked from my "favorites"on my iPad 2 with the following....... You are not authorized to open this file. What do I need to do

    I'm being blocked from my favorites on my iPad 2 with the following........... You are not authorized to open this file. What do I do?

    I'm not sure whether you have tried the "usual" things:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    * Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * classic Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • HT1349 I have purchased a new PC and am being blocked from accessing my itunes account why ???

    I have purchased a new PC and am being blocked from accessing my itunes account why???

    You are being blocked how ?
    If you mean that your library isn't showing then it won't automatically appear on it. You can authorise your iTunes account on it via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option (with iTunes 11 pressing Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear). You will then need to either download your content onto it (what you can re-download will show under Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage), or copy if from your old computer or your backup.
    If you are referring to something else ... ?

  • How can I make the Counter move from inside text box to inside Footer?

    I am tweaking a page. At this point, I cannot move the Counter and the Email Me icon from the bottom of the text box to inside the footer like someone here said he does.
    Why do the Counter and the Email Me icon resist being moved?
    I am in Graphics mode. I never had this problem before.

    Lorna,
    I'm not sure why you can't move it down into the
    footer — by inside the text box, do you mean the page
    "content" or "body" section, or did you somehow get
    the icons into a text box? I know that you can
    "force" a text box into the footer (or header) by
    selecting it, then dragging it while holding the
    command (Apple) key down at the same time.
    Hope this helps.
    Bob
    Bob,
    When I say Text box maybe I am not using the right word. I am referring to that entire space on the page which is dedicated to receiving documents or images. If you have a lot of pictures or words, then that text box/space has to be lengthened to accomodate.
    I am saying that the two icons -- Counter and Email Me -- are sitting (or were sitting. It's morning now and honestly, I can't recall from last night!) at the very bottom of the text box/space.
    I made a Footer (55 pixels) specially to accomodate the Counter and Email icons. The problem, as stated, was/is that those icons would not budge from where they were sitting.

  • Text has different look from one text box to the next on same page issue

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of creating a new site that contains quite a bit of text from a book I wrote. I've taken the text from the original source, put it into text editor and made it into plain text. From there, I've pasted it into the iWeb text boxes and adjusted the text look (font is Arial, justified alignment). When viewing it in IE (probably others?), one block of text looks different than others.
    http://www.goaheadtakethewheel.com/Test13.html
    I've verified that the font size and other options are all the same on iWeb. For the life of me I can't seem to figure this out. The only way I can think of possibly resolving this is to re-type each section from scratch. Given that there are about 75 wordy pages...UGGGG!
    Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks for your time and help!!

    You could first try deleting your iweb preference file <com.apple.iWeb.plist> it is in your Library/preference folder.
    To create a new domain file, first save your current file in a safe place, such as an external hard drive, burn to a CD, etc. By default it is in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. All your work is in this file, keep it safely backed up, if you lose this file you lose all your work, you can't restore from the published web site. When you get this file saved safely off your computer and open iWeb it will create a new empty domain. Once you have the new file created you can bring the old file back to the computer. You can put them side by side in any folder (give them different names so one won't replace the other) At this point you can double click the domain file itself to open iWeb. You could try cut and paste between the two domains. I'm not sure this will solve the problem but you could try it on one page, publish to a local folder and see if it helps. Sounds like a lot of work.
    Which ever domain file was last used is the one iWeb will subsequently open unless you double click the actual domain file to open iWeb. Be careful and good luck.

  • Move from one text box to another w/o using tool box

    I'm constantly needing to move from one editable text box to another editable text box -- or to a vector graphic and back to a text box. I'd love a keyboard shortcut to move around if there is one.  Having to constantly click the cursor in the tool box to activate a text box is so tiresome.

    Bearskate,
    As I (mis)understand it, from other tools to the Type Tool, you can just press the T key.
    Unfortunately, you cannot press the relevant other key with any kind of Type object selected because that will just add that letter somewhere.
    You can see the keystrokes for the different tools when you hover over them.
