Boarders around text areas in pages

I'm trying to find some boarders to put around a text box in a pages so that I can make labels for craft works. Is there any way to do it?

Hi grb3630
Welcome to the forum.
I doubt that homesick school boys will do the trick for you.
However you may find this more useful:
+Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > Line/Picture Frame+
You can also do what Apple has done which is put an image behind the textbox.

Framemaker 9 PDF exports with red boxes around text areas

I have a doc, made in FM 7, using version 9
When I make a PDF i get boxes around some of the text. It wasn't there during FM design.
example
(see red)
Please help

you might consider saving the FM file as MIF and then looking at the MIF using the wonderful freebie MIFBrowser, from Graham Wideman, from here:
Wideman Adobe FrameMaker Topics
to find the problem area do a search for the string that is in the title
"Downblast Centrifugal
Exhaust Ventilator
Roof Mounted
Belt Drive"
although just pasting it here it looks like you might have soft carriage returns in it which will make it necessary to just search for the two-word segments.
After you find the phrase, use the left navigation area to walk "up" the MIF file, looking for the specific structure that those words are in (is it a text box, or rather a graphic frame inside a text box, correct?) Is this an anchored frame, or is it just floating? If it's anchored, where is it anchored?
In the MIF, see if you can identify any odd sounding properties of the text box or graphic frame. The MIF reference manual is a PDF found in the FM documentation folder.
Also, one other possibility is that there's something funky with the red swash that goes across the page that's somehow "contaminating" the text frame. What kind of graphic type is the red swash? Could you take a copy of the FM file and remove the swash and then make a PDF, to see if that solves the red outline.
edit: additional questions: are the swash and the text frame on the body page or on the master page? When Arnis suggested checking for graphics behind the text frame, did you also check the master page(s) as well as the body pages?

Select all the text on a page by touching an area that is white space

I have read that you can select all the text on a page by touching an area that is white space, for example at the edge of a column. Sometimes this works for me, but most of the time it does not. Should it? Is there more to it? Is this a documented gesture?
I want to be able to select all the text in a long page, where it would be very tedious to drag the copy handles. This would be the equivalent of CMD A on a computer.

Yea, thanks, I've read that. It doesn't cover selecting all the text in one gesture, which is what I want to be able to do. This doesn't seem to be covered.
I've been fooling around since I wrote the first post, and discovered that if you tap and hold to display the selection buttons (as noted in your quote) and then drag one of the blue selection buttons to the top (or bottom) of the text, then the other button will jump to the bottom (or top) and you have effectively selected all the text. This is what I wanted to do.
The reason I wanted to do it is so I can select all the text in an article that I want to read, then copy and paste it into an app I just got, Speak it!, and then have the app read me the article while I get some exercise riding my stationary bike.

How can I put a border around my page, or around text?

I rarely use Pages. Only when Textedit won't do something.
I want a frame (or box or border or whatever you want to call it) around my page. I haven't been able to figure it out from the Help. I found something about a "text box" but that seems to require creating the box first.
Thanks a lot!
Also, it seems that you don't have any control over where a text box is when you create it. There must be something I'm missing here.

Hi:
You don't say whether you've got Pages 1 or Pages 2.
The techniques are a little bit different. But in either one, you might find it easier to follow this to begin by choosing "View / Show Layout from the menu.
In Pages 1, you create a text box from the insert menu, choosing insert / text.
In Pages 2, you can simply click on the T icon in the toolbar. Use View / Customise Toolbar if it's not there, and put it there.
The text box will show on your page. Where it is doesn't matter: you can size and move it wherever you want - including outside the layout margins of your page. Just be aware that what you can print may depend on your printer. Some (mostly lasers nowadays) won't print to the edge of the page.
To size and move your text box, you click on the margin outside it and then select / all (Command / a) to put handles on it. If this doesn't let you move it, or it springs back once you have, then go to the Arrange menu and send it back. This is because when forward it can be confined by other things on the page - even provision for a header or footer in the blank template, for example: so you might not necessarily see what's stopping it being moved.
But Pages is a hands on program. It's always harder to describe what you do than it is to do it. Play around with it; get the hang of it. OK, so now you've got your text box. Now bring up an Inspector box, and choose the Object Inspector: the one with the square and the circle. That's where you put your borders in. Choose the line style, the colour, and point size you want, and there you are. You can do this with other text already entered: the box will hide it if the box is at the front, but if it's sent back text or other objects there when you started the box will show (and print) through it.
You can border your page with shapes in much the same way, but a text box is maybe the simplest. And you can also overlay text boxes or other objects if you want multiple borders, special effects, or when you really get into it, line and border fonts you can get from 3rd party suppliers. A freeware example is "Borders" and you can search for it in Mac OsX downloads.
Some printers will also allow you to surround your page with a border. If so, you'll find it simpler, but the border will go where the printer wants, and you'll only be able to set margins, which it will follow.
Here's a tip: if you want objects you work with centred on the page sometimes, you can choose in Pages preferences to have guidelines originate from the centre of your object as you move it across the centre of your page. When you get two of them, your object is centred. But be careful if you've set up for facing pages with the margins different: there's one centre for a left page, and another for the right one.
Too hard? Not if you use the program. You'll find out what's there, and use it easily. But Pages is not a toy, and it's not a mere text editor. Don't waste your money by letting it rot. Learn it, and you'll be astonished at what it can do.
You can also do borders with other objects, like shapes, and the principles are much the same. Choose what best suits your project, once you know what's there. But Text Edit? You've got to be joking. It's like the old IBM/DOS one with fonts thrown in. Better learn Pages before it bores you to death!
Cheers.

I have been sent a 'word document' in which are a series of boxes about thirty lines long to insure written text. When Pages opens the document it extends these to a whole A4 page how do I get it to retain the original layout

You can't change the way Pages import .doc files.
It was never written that it reproduce exactly the original one.
From my point of view, as I refuse to give a cent to M...soft, the best way to deal with documents issued by their Office suite is to use the free libreOffice.

How do you add an image in the text area of a page/section?

This has been driving me nuts!
When I try to add an image to a page, it will ONLY go into the header. If I try to drag the image onto the page where the text is, it gets hidden behind a layer.
I've looked at the menu choices and I don't seem to be allowed to bring the image to the front. Nor does clicking in the text area and then trying to paste or insert the image - it still goes up in the header.
What is the secret to placing images along with your text on a page in the iBooks Author program?
Thanks!

Wow, Apple has really constrained the "box" that we have to fit our books into!
I was hoping to take some iPad screenshots and put them inline with the text. Since they are portrait iPad screenshots, the book that I'd like to create looks much better (and makes more sense) in portrait mode.
Apple has released this awesome tool, yet they seem to have restricted the author from using any creativity at all.

Top of page like Text Area

Hi experts,
I want to have top-of-page like a text area where my grid title and program name I can have above one ALV grid. Could u say how it is possible. If u have the code, could u send me. I am not sure whether it is text area or not. It should come as result of report and not module pool program and It could have texts in different font sizes..
Thanks and regards,
Venkat

Use below code,
FORM TEXT_TOP_OF_PAGE USING DOCUMENT
                            TYPE REF TO CL_DD_DOCUMENT.
G_TEXT1 = 'Testing'.
G_DOCNO = 'You need to pass Document Number'.
G_TEXT = 'Heading'.
CALL METHOD DOCUMENT->ADD_TEXT
    EXPORTING
      TEXT      = G_TEXT
      SAP_STYLE = 'HEADING'
CALL METHOD DOCUMENT->NEW_LINE.
CALL METHOD DOCUMENT->ADD_TEXT
    EXPORTING
      TEXT = G_TEXT1.
CALL METHOD DOCUMENT->ADD_TEXT
    EXPORTING
      TEXT = G_DOCNO.
ENDFORM.
You should pass the below parameter in REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
I_CALLBACK_HTML_TOP_OF_PAGE = 'TEXT_TOP_OF_PAGE'

The only reason I see for such a requirement is "Notes" require more space for entering a detailed note and would be inconvenient to write it in small single-line text input box. But, still in this case, getting the entered text back to the page and displaying it will have the same inconvenience of reading it from that field. And, I still think that removing one amongst the two (text field or image link) would be good, design wise.
Anyway, did u try the following:
1. Add a flow layout to the table bean
2. Add text input and image item to the flow layout.
3. Attach the notes page as the destination uri for the image.
Did u start the working on it, let us know how far did u reach so that we can guide you through from that point.

Passing values to the TEXT AREA in .HTML page.

Hi,
I have data in internal table and in context node in custom CRM component.
I want to display this data in the textarea field. Is it possible to display this data in the text area? Should we use JAVASCRIPT for this one?
Can anyone please give me the smaple code for passing the values to the text area?
Please help me.
Regards,

Hi Pushpa,
You can set the internal table values to the text area field using SET_PROPERTY method .
Check for the context node in which that text field is there ,then get that context nodes current entity .Next set required values to that text area field.

How to link text frames in Pages 5.2?

How to link text frames in Pages 5.2?

The correct term in Pages is Text Boxes, and true linking is not implemented in v5.2. You can Unite, Intersect, Subtract, and Exclude multiple Text Boxes via the Arrange panel. These attributes only appear when two or more Text Boxes are selected. Also, on the Arrange menu, you will need Object Placement set to Move with Text, and the Text Wrap set to None for more accurate positioning.
In the following example, there was initially a Text Box with overflowing text that was duplicated. With both Text Boxes selected and aligned, I could then use the Unite feature from the Arrange panel. This allowed the text to flow into the second box. Selecting text in one box and dragging upwards continues the text selection between both boxes. Hoefler italic applied in one box is applied to both. Appropriately placed, another trip to the Arrange panel to enable Text Wrap around and text fit adjustments.

I cant copy/paste from an article to my web site, get a Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.HELP

Tried to copy/paste from an article to my web site and got a "cannot copy /paste " warning and was directed to a security perferences site that said that Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.
Tried to find my Firefox profile directory using the start menu and was directed to hit enter to go to web. Feel like i am getting run around.

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.

How do I remove text boxes from Pages

I have an awful time with Pages on my lap top. I am used to Appleworks 6.2 on my older desktop (PowerMac G4 / OS 10.4.11). If I specify a US letter page I get that in Appleworks, it is then 8.1/2" x 11", without running into pre-existing formats or other similar distractions. I can immediately type a neat business letter.
Not with Pages. On my MacBookAir, with Pages 4.3 and OS 10.8.4, I can type alright, but when I want to print what I typed, only a small part of what I typed shows up in in Print Preview of my typed page. After a bit of backtracking, I notice a blue-lined rectangle on my typed page containing the portion of my typing that appeared in that Print Preview. It is apparently a self-formed "text box", that was not a part of my blank template page and was not inserted by me while or just before I typed.
I did not find any way to delete the edges of that text box. The "delete" option under the pull down edit menu is blanked out. If I click on the "Text box " symbol in the menu bar it does not let me switch off the text box, but instead gives me another text box inside the first one! I suppose this is to allow user to print only a single keyboard stroke of the entire letter. The "Inspector" seems to have no options to set text boxes.
Pages "Help" Menu has nothing of how to delete a text box, or how to prevent it in the first place from screwing up what you have typed in such manner that it becomes unprintable.
Similarly a small rectangular box formed on both the top and the bottom of each page (which could be a space reserved for a header or footer), but again I do not use these on my business letters, and they appear self-formed by Pages, and I would like to know how to prevent them, or delete them.
In other words I like to get a blank page to start with, which will only set up and type what "I, THE USER" enter on my keyboard.
Can anybody tell me how to this with Pages?
(PS. I can do it with even with Thunderbird !)

1. Open a blank Word Processing template (they are listed in the Template Chooser sidebar), you have opened a Layout template that requires Textboxes for you to type into.
2. To select a Textbox hold down the command key and click on its edge or lassoo it, then hit delete.
3. If you don't want Headers or Footers, uncheck them in the Document Inspector
4. Download the Pages09_UserGUide.pdf from under the Help menu and familiarise yourself with Pages' basics. Also look around your Menus and Inspectors which are laid out logically from left to right from broad to details.
I suggest you click inside your textbox first go command a and copy the contents before you delete it and then paste that into a new Word Processing template.

Image gallery around text

Hi there,
I'm new to web design and not 100% sure if I should be asking this in a Dreamweaver or Flash forum, but I'm hoping someone would be able to advise me on what to do.
I want to incorporate an image gallery into a Dreamweaver page. I've made the gallery in Flash. When rolling over small images at the bottom, an enlarged version will appear on top. Next to the enlarged image will be text. From what I understand, for search engine purposes, usability etc it would be better if this text was not in Flash. In fact, I would like the layout in terms of how the pics and text are positioned to be in a similar fashion as this site: http://www.calcotmanor.co.uk/meetings_events/barn.htm where the text sits next to and above the Flash elements.
I have tried this using tables in Dreamweaver and inserting the swf however I do not know how to incorporate this so that the image gallery and the enlarged image form an 'L' shape around the text. I'm not set on using Flash necessarily - if there is another way I can do this using Dreamweaver (I don't need the images to change by themselves, just to show the enlarged version when user hovers over thumbnails) then I would appreciate tips on that!
Many thanks in advance for your help!

I actually tried that and hated it. I'd be better off with manual navigation at
the bottom of each page (these are sub pages)

How do I get rid of various lines around text boxes when using navigation panes

How can I get rid of these various lines that are displaying sporatically around different text boxes . . . but only when the navigation panel is displaying? I previously had the issue and changed the text box properties to no fill. It fixed the problem in the document with no navigation panel, but once the navigation panel is displayed the lines appear. And yes, I fixed the text box properties before creating the bookmarks for the navigation panel.

Every device, browser and browser version has its idiosyncrasies.
Just using a stroke and a drop shadow should not have been enough to require Muse to convert the page fill to an image. Were/are there also other effects on the page? Are the page corners slightly rounded?
Bevel and Inner Glow definitely require an image to be created. Most other effects/properties do not.
