Boxed text as inline extending past margins?

Hi,
I actually have a few questions. I have a boxed caption with cornered edges. Once I set the box to cornered edges, my ability to change the inset spacing individually goes away. I want the left, right and top margins to be .15in, but the bottom to be smaller, about .12 in. Anyway to geet around this?
And, with this same type box, the box extends beyond the margins of the text that I want to place it in. Is there anyway to do inline graphics that extend beyond the left margin.
And, is there a way to set up a outlined box with rounded edges that increases/decreases in size as I flow in text. I'm thinking of maybe making it a table, but maybe there's a better way?
Thanks in advance for any resources you can point me to.

You can't adjust the frame insets, but you can increase the paragraph indents to increase the left and right indents overall while leaving the top and bottom alone.
The only thing that can go inline in text and extend beyond the margins is a table. You could add a one-cell table in a paragraph of its own (center aligned if you want it to extend beyond both margins) and paste your frame into that. Out of the box, there is no way to auto-fit a frame to text content as you type or place the text, but I believe Typefi has a plugin...

  • Setting the colour of the search box text on a public website

    I am using the search box snippet in the header of my public website.
    The background of the header is a dark blue.  The search box background is transparent so the default colour of the text (#444) on the dark blue background is barely visible.
    The text colour appears to be set by the following entry in corev15.css:
    input[type=password],
    input[type=text],
    input[type=file],
    select,
    textarea,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
    .sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
    .ms-inputBox
    border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
    background-color:#fff;
    background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
    color:#FFFFFF;
    I changed the colour from #444 to #FFFFFF.
    Now I want to create a new post in the Blog.  The new post's Title and Body fields use the same entry in corev15.css to set the colour of the text.  As the background of the new post is white the text is invisible!
    Using the F12 development function in IE, setting the colour of the Search box text with an inline function works, but when I add style="color:white" to the <input> of the Search box snippet it seems to be ignored.
    What am I doing wrong?  Is there another way around the problem (I don't want to change the background colour of the header nor the background of the post page and there is no colour that will display the text well enough against both backgrounds).
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Thanking you in anticipation.

    Thanks for your help, Patrick.
    Adding color: white !important; inline in the <input tag of the Search box snippet is still ignored, however.  When I look at the HTML and CSS with F12 in IE, the inline mark-up is not set.  I guess this something to do with how the Search Box
    snippet works?
    I've made some progress, though.  All the pages of the site (except the Blog NewPost page) use the corev15.css file. So I've set the colour here to white.  The css entry is:
    input[type=password],
    input[type=text],
    input[type=file],
    select,
    textarea,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
    .sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
    .ms-inputBox
    border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
    background-color:#fff;
    background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
    color:#FFFFFF;
    The Blog NewPost page uses \_catalog\theme\themed\CDD8DBA6/COREV15-51C31438.themedcss. I've changed the same CSS entry as follows:
    input[type=password],
    input[type=text],
    input[type=file],
    select,
    textarea,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
    .sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
    .ms-inputBox
    border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
    background-color:#fff;
    background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
    color:#444 !important;
    Now this page sets the colour to #444.  This means that the text in the Title and Body fields is visible but the text in the Search Box (with its dark blue background) is not.
    The Search Box on Blog NewPost is not vital but I'd like to fix it.  How can I do this?

    A          B         C          D
    I am good  I am OK   I am bad   I am confusedIf so, why? If not, show us the required layout.
    Help us to help you. When you have a problem you should provide as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
    <li>Full APEX version
    <li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
    <li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
    <li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
    <li>Theme
    <li>Template(s)
    <li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
    With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting.

  • What is the the tag I can use in a custom conversion publish/print template for click box text?

    I have customized a conversion template to generate a storyboard but I can not find a tag to grab the text found in the click box text.  I am able to grab all text captions from text boxes.  HELP!

    Not that I know of.<br />
    Maybe it works if you would specify a font (!important) that doesn't have those glyphs.

  • Running a youview box from a broadband extender

    Hi,
    I run my Youview + box successfully from a broadband extender flex 500 successfully. I have the unlimited broadband infinity 1 package. I wish to order a second youview box(the one that doesn't record). I was told that I could not use this same system with the second box because it has to have an Ethernet cable to the modem. They consider the system I use to be 'wireless'and therefore not suitable. They say I can only run one youview box on a broadband extender system. Is this the case? Does anyone else run two youview boxes on the broadband extender system. They said it is not an Ethernet connection (I thought that was the whole point!) using this method. Please could someone confirm this for me and /or explain why it won't work!
    Many thanks.

    BT never used to accept Powerline adapters at all. At least they seem to accept 500mpbs devices as valid for one box now.
    However I suspect that they don't want to risk people complaining if people take out an extra box subscription and have problems if, say, both boxes are used for watching and recording HD channels simultaneously via Powerline.
    To be clear there is no reason why you can't run two boxes off the same Powerline AV500 network except that if one or both of your adapters have low throughput (due to mains interference, poor wiring etc.) you could struggle trying to use both boxes simultaneously for both viewing and recording IPTV. If you are prepared to take the risk, go for it! (BT won't help you if you have problems though).

  • When pulling down a long pulldown menu, the menu, instead of starting a new row, will extend past the bottom and behind the browser so that I can't navigate to an item that's below/behind the screen.

    When pulling down a long pulldown menu, the menu, instead of starting a new row, will extend past the bottom and behind the browser so that I can't navigate to an item that's below/behind the screen. FF should be making a second row for these long pulldown menus, right?

    Nope, there is no second row. There should be a scroll arrow "button" at the bottom and the top of that drop-down to allow you scroll, or you can use the scroll wheel on the mouse scroll further down (or back up).

  • How do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear on a MAC?

    how do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear in Adobe Reader XI on a MAC? I know windows is Ctrl-E but can't figure out what to hit for Mac.

  • Can't get "true" height of text box (text object) in Photoshop CS4-CS6 on Mac

    I'm seeing this behavior in CS4, CS5 and CS6 on the Mac using AppleScript. When I get the height of a text object layer as such:
         tell app "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
              tell current document
                   set textObjectHeight to height of text object of art layer 1
              end tell
         end tell
    The value returned doesn't match the height of the text object. In my mind the text object is the box that's displayed when I click on text in a text layer with the text tool active. The value for the width appears to match, just as I'd expect.
    I'm trying to get the height and width of the text box (text object) so that I can draw a box "underneath" it on another layer so that one can tell where the text box is. Kind of an FPO-type assistant. I'm currently using the position values and the height and width to create a colored box. I realized that the height isn't exactly right.
    Any help would be great appreciated. I've not explored the use of Javascript thus far, but am open to that as a solution.
    Thanks,
    Stephan

  • Header extends past the page in Adobe Muse after uploading to web

    Here is an example of my issue. Both are set to 100% width and both are edge to edge when i put them in...however as you can see, the header extends past the rest of the page instead of being aligned with the rest of the content.

    That's a nice looking site, Elaine. Well done.
    This link may help you decide to widen your website a bit:
    http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp
    It clearly shows the trends to larger monitors. That being said, you definitely don't want people encountering horizontal scroll bars when they come to your site. I would say you could safely expand to 1024 or possibly 1200 to accomodate members' artwork.
    A suggestion for you...when you go to the Gallery page and click on the various members' names, it scrolls down nicely to their respective part of the gallery. But then you have to manually scroll up or down. You can make the menu of members' names "sticky" so that it stays with the viewer as they scroll. They can then easily move to different parts of the page without all the scrolling.
    For a small example of that see this prototype page I'm working on:
    http://jenshairchair.businesscatalyst.com
    Unfortunately, I'm not at home right now and can't remember the exact terminology of what that's called or how to accomplish that. When I get home later today I can follow up here with instructions if someone else hasn't.

  • I've lost my contacts, texts and photos from past year! Help!

    Tried to update my 3G today, but now I've lost all of my Pictures, Contacts an Texts from over the past year. Help!! Please! How do I recover any of this, pictures are most important
    Thank you in advance!!

    You should have been importing all pics taken with the iphone regularly as you would  any digital camera, most especially before any update.
    If for some reason you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.

  • Can I get a print out of all text messages for the past 90 days including pictures?

    Hi I am attempting to get a printout of all text message for the past 90 days to include text and pictures.  How can I do this?

    Messages + (Verizon messages app) stores up to 90 days of messages, but I think it starts when you install it - it doesn't go back prior to installation.  Other apps (SMS Backup, for one) will also allow you to save and print out your messages. Again though, I believe it only goes back as far as installation, so if you haven't been uisng the app(s), you won't have the previous 90 days available.

  • Changing boxed text to underlined (help my brother's resume out)

    i am trying to finalize my brother's CV and I am new to pages. He sent me a docx doc which i am opening in Pages and then saving out as doc and pages as well as printing to PDF.
    for some reason his docx UNDERLINED TEXT is now showing up in my pages document as BOXED text even though it originally showed up as underlined in the edited doc and in the printed PDF. I mean, it has literally changed to boxed text so now when I send the pdf to him it looks bad.
    can anyone please help me figure out how to get this boxed text to look underlined as well as perhaps to tell me if I can control the thickness or even the greyscale color of this line?
    TIA!

    Hi Peter.
    That explains the other stuff. Linked text fields. Interesting.
    Thanks. This was hard to figure out but i think it was a object that I can control in Inspector. I am not sure what it is called in Pages but I see now that I can control the location of the line and the heaviness etc in the Yellow Cell Tab in inspector...
    THANKS

  • Menu Bar extend past screen limits on 27" IMac at 2560x1440 ?

    My Menu bar and for that matter the whole desktop extends past the sides of the screen, so that I actually have to scroll to get to items on the far sides of the screen. If I reduce the resolution to 1600x1280 the same thing happens. When I go back to 2560, the desktop has an approximate 2" border on the top and left side that shows a blue background. The computer is a 27" IMac, 2.8 Ghz Intel Core I7, and I don't know that I did anything wrong or what's happening. The computer is about 4 months old.

    Have you tried checking whether the "Accessibility" control panel settings changed?
    It seems to me you have some visually impaired setting enabled.
    I think I've done this inadvertently by holding a modifier key (command?) while using my scroll wheel.
