Body text color

In Mail, I cannot get the body text color to change from black. I can change the signature color, but the body text will only be black. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Mike

Thanks @cooperator
I will have our development team take a look. If there is a platform issue a ticket will be opened.

Using Export for Kindle, how can I get black body text to display inverse (white on black) on Kindle

I'm using ID 5.5 on a Vista system.
I've created a book file with some colored fonts and anchored gif images. Basic paragraph (body text) is black. The "Export to Kindle" mobi file displays fine on Kindle for PC and Kindle Previewer.
Kindle PC alows viewing on white, sepia or black background. Works fine on white and sepia, but when the black color mode is selected (night viewing option) the black text does not display as white text. What can I do to have the black text automatically change to white?
While trying to find a solution, I created an epub file of the book and, using Calibre, converted it to mobi. When this mobi file is loaded into Kindle PC, the black text does automatically change to white when viewed on the black screen. I would use this method of creating the mobi, but there are several other issues that make this process unsatisfactory (other text colors don't work well, image transparency losses, etc).
So, how can I get the black to white text thing using only Export to Kindle?

Grayscale is probably the best (Settings>General>Accessibility>Grayscale)

Multiple text colors in my spry menu

Can I make multiple text colors in my spry menu? I want to match the text color on one of my spry menu items to the hover color so that you know which link you are currently visiting. I haven't posted the site yet until I work out all the kinks. So, to summarize, I have my spry menu link text color (ul.MenuBarVertical a) set to #E00 and my hover color for those items (ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemHover) set to #888. All of the links also contain the same spry menu. I would like the link you're currently in to be #888 and the other links to be #E00 with all of them hovering with color #888. How can I give unique color to an individual menu item? Any help you can give is much appreciated!

Recomendations for maximizing readability of body text

To optimize readablity of several paragraphs of body text, I am curious to see what people would suggest for the items listed below (font: verdana, which I understand is among the most readable web safe fonts).
Are there other issues besides below that affect readability (obviously color)?
I have dropped in some values below that I think are very readable, but some of them do seem large compared to what is used in the templates.
Thanks,
Bob
Font Size: 18pt (12-16 seems to be the default in templates)
Line spacing: 1.2 (default in templates)
Before paragraph: 0 (0 is default in templates)
After paragraph: 10 (0 is default in templates)

You can use javascript so users can alter the text size themselves:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/textsizer.htm
Bear in mind that many people may have configured their browser to have smaller or larger text and thus override webpage code.
Comic Sans MS is supposed to be good for dyslexics; however I don't think it's cross-browser compatible.
You also might want to consider the fact that making everything larger will irritate people with smaller resolutions and increase amounts of scrolling to the point where it may defeat the purpose of making it more user-friendly (depending on how much text per page you have).
Make sure not to use tables other than for actual tabulated data as it causes problems for people with screen readers. Also, try to put ALT tags on your images where possible for the blind and those with images disabled.

The body text on my website shows as white on firefox, it is fine on IE and Safari...what is wrong?

I have two websites that I update via dreamweaver. I haven't made any changes to either and suddenly I can't view the body text on one of the sites on Firefox it should be blue, and it come up as white. All the rest of the site is visable, including the text in hyperlinks and toolbars. I can see it on Safari and IE ..any clues on what might be wrong. My other site isn't effected.

You're missing a pound sign in your color hex code.
.body {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    color: #002e54;
Overall, you have quite a few code errors that require attention.
98% of browser problems are caused by invalid code. See links below for details.

How can I edit the title or body text of received email?

I read somewhere in this forum a long time ago that, in Mail, you cannot edit anything within received email for security reasons.
With Eudora, I have always done things such as reformatting the body text of received email by applying colors or making text bold, etc., in order to make the email useful to me.
Is there a way around in Mail to edit either the title or body text of received email?

About a month ago, I spend zillion hours to migrate from Eudora to Mail.
Eudora has been wonderful to me since Day 1 back in the early 90's. But, it has been discontinued as a commercial product. I had used the Japanese version of Eudora for several years, but it did not like communicating with Exchange at work.
I tried and tried various email clients before settling on Mail.
When I pictured interactions among my Mac, iPhone, and whatever email client I choose, Mail was just the simplest way. But, Mail is not Eudora. And, I dearly miss Eudora.
If there is no way to alter the contents of received email in Mail, I would have to adopt your approach on a case-by-case basis.
Thanks for your help, though.

Text Color in disabled text field

Hi,
In our application, The default rendered text in disabled fields is not visible properly. In order to improve the visibility we applied different color using content style for those fields.
We did see the change in the fields after applying content-style. But it is a painful job to apply the content-style for each input field.
Is there a way to configure default text color in ADF which is applicable for all the disabled fields in the application?
We also tried the option of setting the color using css in following manner:
af|inputText::content{color:#333333;}
But this didn't have any impact on the text color.
Please let us know if we can achieve this through a single point fix in the code.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Dimitar,
The :rtl is a special case, as is :ltr and :alias. These are always placed at the end and are purely for the engine, they do not generate any style class on the DOM whereas other peudo classes generate a p_AF<state> class on the MAIN DOM element, which is why you must place the class on them. For example:
af|inputText:disabled::content becomes
In the CSS: af_inputText.p_AFDisabled af_inputText_content
In the HTML <span class="af_inputText p_AFDisabled"><input class="af_inputText_content">

How do I change the text color of footers on select pages? (InDesign CS6)

Good afternoon,
Months ago, I worked with a graphic designer to put together a 100-page workbook for my training company. He turned all of the files over to me and I'd like to make a small change before we print another run for a new client. Specifically, I'm having trouble changing the text color on select pages. Since a picture says 1,000 words, let me give you an example:
As you can see, the copyright information on the right side of the page is difficult to read here when placed over the photo (you may have to look closely, but it's along the guy's sleeve). What I'd love to do is change that part of the footer (not the left, page number side) to white text. This would make it quite a bit easier to read. There's a number of other pages in the book that I want to make this change to. I'm not sure why I never noticed it or mentioned it to the designer. I suppose I've become more discerning since then.
Let me tell you what I've tried to do:
I learned how to override master pages by CTRL+SHIFT clicking on the footer. However, this has not worked for me. It allows me to change the page number part, but not the copyright side. Additionally, sometimes when I override the master the formatting of the footer goes goofy. For instance, the left side and right side come together and end up in the middle of the page I'm working on.
I'm looking for a quick way to go through and make the footers easier to read on pages where they are backed by a photo. Hoping you can help me. Please let me know if you need any other information.
Best,
Taylor

I think you should have left it as it was. It seems like what you had was single pages flowing as spreads within InDesign. Like below. That is the correct way, and when you changed it to all single, it did create your footer problems.
Will you be sending the file as a PDF to your online printer? If so, then leaving the InDesign file set as below is fine. The PDF output will separate the pages.
All you have to do is make sure that Pages, not Spreads, is chosen when you output the PDF

Different text color options?

What is the difference between changing text color through the drop-down color swatch options and the recolor artwork option?

Under what circumstances?

Unable to change text color (from Black)

For the next person who blunders into this and searches for an answer...
If you have a Condition Code whose decoration is a custom color, and you delete the color, the text goes to Black, and you cannot change the color of text bearing that CC - with local color override, or a Character Format that applies a color (I didn't try Paragraph format).
I am copying formatted content in from an older document that doesn't conform to current templates. I had deleted unused colors in the source, but not unused Condition Codes, one of which rode in with some text. What was controlled by the CC in the old doc is now controlled by a color Character format, except that when applied, the text stayed stubornly black (until I nuked the CC).

Dear FrameMaker 7.1/Unix user,
This does not surprise me. As long as the condition is applied and "Show Condition Formats" is active FrameMaker will show the Condition Color (now: Black) and not any underlying text colors.

Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 book module?

Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 Book Module?

I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

How to change text color in CS4

Hey everyone. I know I'm not fluent in Dreamweaver, but had DW8 before upgrading to CS4 and I'm pretty handy with it. In version 8, if I wanted to change a text color, I simply highlighted the text and picked a color. No worries.
However in CS4, I seem to be only have that ability in my CSS properties, (not HTML properties). Then when I try to change the color, it gives me a dialogue box asking questions such as "new CSS", "for this page only", etc. and I don't understand what I'm supposed to do.
Can someone tell me in a user-friendly way (step-by-step), how to simply change a text color on a page? I went to the help topics and it said to use the 'color-picker', but that takes me back to my original problem.
I'm either doing something terribly wrong, or ADOBE has made a simple task into brain surgery!
Thanks in advance for assistance!
Mark

Beginning with CS3, DW became more compliant with W3C web standards which call for content (HTML) being separate from style (CSS). Thus you now have two properties boxes: one for HTML content and another for CSS styles.
Create a few CSS classes using the CSS style panel.
CSS:
.red {color: red}
.blue {color: blue}
.green {color: green}
Highlight a word or sentence on your page and apply the appropriate class to your HTML.
HTML:
<p class="red"> this is red text</p>
<p class="blue"> this is blue text with <span class="green">GREEN WORDS</span> in the middle</p>

IPhoto quits when I try and change text color in book

When editing a new iPhoto book (version 5), I was changing the font color. As I clicked on the text color icon in the fonts window (show fonts from the iPhoto menu), Iphoto just quit. It also lost all my formating thst I had for my pics. I tried the font color change in other applications using 'Font Book' and the same icon works without crashing the application.
This is a new thing, because I have had no trouble with the first book I made.
Thanks

Just wondering, when you pull up the inspector, is the writing that is coming up blue a hyperlink (when you click on it, will it take you to a web page or an e-mail)?

With "Download Headers" option checked, opening plain text emails results in cropped body text

When I open raw plain text emails (i.e. not formatted as HTML) I only see the first
255 characters of the email body; all of the remainder is chopped off, and never appears no matter how many times I re-open the email.
I have narrowed this down to my somewhat unusual download preferences in Outlook. They are configured as follows:
Send/Receive -> Download Preferences -> Download Headers (checked).
I know the email text is there in full, because when I point my web browser at OWA, I can see the full body.
If at first I choose Mark to Download and then Process Marked Headers, I can then open the plain text email and see the body in full.
When I open HTML emails I have no problems, regardless of whether the email download was forced or not.
This issue existed on my old Office 2010 installation for XP too. It persists now I have upgraded to Office 2013 on Win 7.
This is not an acknowledged issue yet within the Outlook team (in fact, a possibly related issue was
reported by someone else 3 months ago but suggested to be a font corruption issue, which is incorrect).
It seems like Outlook just forgets to download the full text for plain text emails when opening them. It's repeatable every time, so it doesn't seem like a race condition. (To reproduce: set your Inbox download preferences as above, then send
yourself a plain text email, wait for the Inbox headers to finish refreshing and then open the new email).
We use a 3rd party provider (Cobweb) for our email service and I believe they are using Exchange 2013.
We use ESET Smart Security Suite and I have tried disabling the scanner for that but see no change in the outcome. I would appreciate if anyone without ESET could try to reproduce these steps for themselves and confirm.
Starting Outlook in Safe Mode does not solve it.
Note: I already asked this
question at the Office Community site and it was suggested I
post on the Exchange Server Outlook Clients forum. The feedback there suggested it to be client related, so now I've been directed to post here!
Thanks,
Marcel

Hi Melon, thanks for your response.
My plain text font is set up as the default, Automatic.
In any case, I can see the first 255 characters of the plain text body, so plain text font colour can be eliminated as a potential problem.
After the 255th character, the body text then stops. There are no "hidden characters". If I shrink the window height to accommodate just what I see, the vertical scrollbar does not appear. This confirms that there are no hidden lines of text
below.
The mail is simply not downloaded from the server correctly. If I drag the mail onto my desktop, then view that file in Programmer's Notepad, I can see that after the position representing the 255th character in the body of the email, there is garbage (control
characters).
If, instead, I first mark the email for downloaded and then click the "process marked headers", wait for it to download and then drag it onto my desktop, by contrast, the body contents look complete and this is reflected in the fact that I can
see the whole email when I open it in Outlook.
This problem has so far affected me on four different PC setups (1xWinXP, 3xWin7) and two versions of Outlook (2010 and 2013). However, Cobweb -- our cloud email provider -- did recently upgrade to Exchange 2013, so that might be an important factor.
I don't think I can remember seeing these plain text issues in the 10 years previous to that upgrade during which I've been using various flavours of Outlook.
I have supplied repro steps in the original report above. Could someone please try these? I have expanded them in full below for simplicity:
To reproduce:
1. Change your download preferences in Outlook. They are configured from the ribbon bar as follows (assuming you are using Outlook in Cached Exchange mode, connecting to Exchange 2013):
Send/Receive -> Download Preferences -> Download Headers (checked).
2. Send yourself a plain text email containing more than 300 characters of text.
3. Wait for the Inbox headers to finish refreshing.
4. Open the new email.
Result: The email body will be truncated at the 255th character.
Expected: The email body should show all the characters.

How do I add an email body text for remittance advices / payment advices?

Hello,
I am trying to send an email body text with the pdf remittance advice to my vendors.
Background:
We are running automatic payments to vendors via transaction F110. We have configured the pay run to produce remittance advices for vendor payments. Finally we activated the BTE 00002040, through transaction FIBF, to use a custom copy of the function module SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040.
Our payment run sends emails with pdf-file attachments to our vendors correctly.
<b>The Issue:</b>
I can not find a way to add text to the body of the email with the attached remittance advice.
Has anyone advise on how to populate the email body with text?
Thank you and best regards
Karsten Arold

Hello Subhashree,
I have not implemented the functionality, but I found rerference to SAP Note 1033893 in another forum post.
