Can I make the little white box with the cross in it disappear?

Layout mode. There is a tiny little square with cross in it, at bottom of text box. Cool. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.
Is there a way to make that little box disappear? So I can view the page as it will print out? I'm making graphic images with LOTS of those little text boxes ... it's hard to judge the final layout with all those little squares with crosses in them.
Ben

Hi,
The + is shorthand for "There is extra material contained in this text box that you can't see." To make the cross go away you need to increase the size of the box. Just to make things a bit more confusing, sometimes the "extra" material is the default text that is replaced by text you type into the box. Thus while you "know" that there is no text in the box not currently showing if you take a look you'll find placeholder text put there by Pages.
Best,
Win

  • I keep getting the little blue box with the question mark

    Hi
    I have 10.6.7 system software and my safari is 5.0.4
    I have called apple twice with this problem already but nothing has helped except for short times.
    I have reset safari about one dozen times and when I do I reset the top 7 items and I've emptied the cache in addition just in case. I've also taken my safari preference plist out of my library and trashed it.
    And I've run disk utilities many times and restarted my computer. Each thing I do will solve the problem for a short time, even up to a day or more (or less) but then it comes back. For instance on Facebook maybe 1/8th of the thumbnail images have the little blue boxes with the question marks but most don't. I can't figure it out. Sometimes even the iPAD safari gets them too but my firefox doesn't show them and neither does Safari on my eMac.
    Yesterday the question marks even showed up in ONE mailing on all 3 computers with the question marks in the blue boxes (meaning my iMac, my eMac and my iPad) but then it just all resolved after a few hours. This does sound like possibly a server problem except today it's happening (in Safari again) only on this iMac in Safari (not firefox) and not on the other two devices.
    One more thing, since they changed my radio on the roof for my wireless internet, the 5.8 phone cuts out the internet when I use it. The problem has gotten worse since they changed the radio to the same frequency as the phone, it's a much faster service than the 2.4 radio. I don't know if this is related or not.
    Thank you,
    Martha

    <Contact your ISP.
    Is it possible, Carolyn, that this would mainly and almost always be only affecting the iMac and Safari in the iMac if it were a server issue? Right now Safari has more blue boxes with question marks than ever and the eMac and iPad have none. Firefox on the iMac has none also.
    I should try a direct connection and by pass the router and see if that makes a difference.
    I will contact them tomorrow but I want to get clear in my head first all the facts and possibilities.
    Thanks!
    Martha

    when i open .jpg picture in photoshop on MAC the the background thumbnail in the layers panel looks like a white box with the brush inside instead of picture thumbnail. how to fix it?

    Very easy. That means you have a "no layer thumbnails" option selected.
    Go into the Layers Panel menu at the upper right of the Panel, choose Panel Options and you will see Thumbnail sizes to choose from.
    Select one, click OK.

  • Little white box on the numbers, stops playback, can drag it back in time but not forward, can't figure out how to delete it, how do I get rid of this thing?

    On the numbers that show where you are on a track, appeared a little white box. It stops the playback, I can move it left, or back in time, but not right, or forward in time. How can I delete this thing?

    Thanks for the replies. Yes it's the end of song marker-I didn't put it there. It appeared, a bug I guess?
    In this instance it could only be dragged left for some reason. I was working on another file and it did let me drag it right, maybe the the non-dragability was a bug too. It's all moot, because I went back to the file and it's blank! But I can start again, I have the WAV.
    I am a novice of long standing with antiquated hardware and software, but I'm having fun and creating some useful audio. Really appreciate the help.

  • Where is the little "F" box on the left before the address bar that allowed me to make quick posts to Facebook?

    Before this update I had a little box on the left in front of the address bar that allowed me to click it and get a quick post box pop up to Facebook from whatever page I was on, now it is gone and I cannot find it. I had to do a reset of Firefox because it was running very slowly. I got a little message at the bottom that suggested the reset and so I did that. I have never had issues when there was an update. But it seems that my add-ons are gone :( I had a little menu drop down on the left side in front of the Most Visited that had all of the social media quick links also and it is gone now. I will check back in 24 hours to see if anyone has any ideas on where my little quick post button went.

    That is not a standard feature of Firefox.

  • What can I do if my CS6 Box with the CDs was stolen?

    I want to sell my house and in the past weeks lots of people who were interested in buying it went through my house. Today I got a new MB Air and wanted to install CS6 Design Standard (received from Adobe Online Store as a box upgrade in Grace Period from CS5) - I noticed that all my Adobe Boxes except CS are gone - probably stolen. What can I do?

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • I've tried to troubleshoot downloading Firefox but it won't open on Windows XP. The Firefox Update box with the hour glass symbol runs for hours. Then I have trouble even shutting down. When I click on Firefox, no window, program won't quit, etc....

    Windows XP. I used to use Firefox and it worked okay. I'm not sure why I downloaded a new version but it won't open. The window that says "Firefox Update" continues to try to load. Hour glass symbol, for hours. If I try to click on the Desktop symbol, Nothing. Then when I try to shut down, it's slow, programs won't quit, or it freezes. I've removed Firefox completely and tried downloading again with the same results. Even with the latest version. Shit. Whassup?

    Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Can it reach the internet?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

  • What is the little square box in the string constant input?

    Hello LabVIEW World -
      I am attempting to understand a LabVIEW code that I did not write.  At one point, there is a string (Equal?) comparison that is comparing a string from a VISA Read to a string constant input.  The string constant has a little square box inside of it.
      Does anyone know what this little square box is?  (See attached screenshot)
      Thanks.

    When I place string constants like this I will display then either as hex or in the codes mode. Either of these will make the code more readable. Using the default ASCII string display is useless other than letting you know it is an unprintable character.
