Can I type different text into insances of the same symbol?

Example:
If I have a A-B-C poster in which I want each letter to be in a rectangle-shape symbol, is there a way that I could have, say, a blank text-box in the symbol, and then type a different letter into each symbol?

When it comes to symbols you would need to create 26 symbols for each letter of the alphabet, so symbols are not the way to go.
If all you need is a rectangle around each letter
Set a letter, set fill to none
Switch to pointer tool
Appearance palette flyout  >> add new fill, set color you like for type
Appearance palette flyout  >> add new fill, select bottom fill in appearance panel, set color you want for rectangle
Effect >> convert shape to rectangle (turn on preview, enter settings similar to mine)
Effect >> path >> Outline object (optional - this helps center the type in your container by getting rid of the extra space built into a font)
Now you can option drag copies and change the letter, and the rectangle will stay same size if you chose absolute, or resize if you chose relative)

  • Why can't two different users use Itunes on the same computer with different log ins

    They can, but not at the same time.
    If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message.  If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
    If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

  • How can I bind two text view elements in the same line?

  • Can i have different game center accounts on the same apple id (ie my daughters iPod and my iPhone)?

    my daughter has an ipod touch 4th gen and i have an iphone 4.  does she need to have her own apple id in order to play gamecenter games on her own account?  if so, is this a new thing?

    Creating a new iTunes account does not remove any purchases made on a different account.
    If you want to create a new account : iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    Or if you will want to use it in the stores and don't want to give credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    Or if you are not currently logged into an account in game centre then you should have a 'create a new Apple id' link at the bottom of the login screen in it.

  • Can you run different processors in G5 at the same time

    Hey, I have a G5 dual processors, one 1.8 top and 2.0 bottom.
    Can I run them together in a G5?
    Both work properly.
    Thanks

    Well, I found out, in one way it works, but ultimately doesn't.
    With a 1.8 in the top and 2.0 in the bottom, the computer boot up to the startup hard drive but the fans amped up, I assume to avoid overheating.

  • Is there a way that you can have two different text fields (email, phone) that one at least one of them must be completed before submitting the form? Can it be done using javascript in the validation tab? if so, how?

    Is there a way that you can have two different text fields (email, phone) that one at least one of them must be completed before submitting the form? Can it be done using javascript in the validation tab? if so, how?

    Here is one solution:
    // mouse up action for submit button;
    function GetField(cName) {
    // get field object for cName field with error checking;
    var oField = this.getField(cName);
    if(oField == null) app.alert("Error accessing field named " + cName + "\nPleae verigy field name, spelling and capitalizeation.", 1, 0);
    return oField;
    } // end GetField function;
    var oPhone = GetField("phone");
    oPhone.required = oPhone.value == oPhone.defaultValue;
    var oEmail = GetField("email");
    oEmail.required = oEmail.value == oEmail.defaultValue;
    if(oPhone.required && oEmail.required) {
    app.alert("Missing required fields.", 1, 0);
    } else {
    app.alert("Submitting form", 3, 0);
    // additional code for submission;

  • I can't type bold-text in Japanese using HTMLEditor

    I am using JAVAFX to develop tool.
    While I create a screen of HTMLEditor in eclipse,
    It does not be "bold-text" when I enter Japanese, although I'm pressing the "Bold-button".
    At this moment, I'm choosing the font, MS Gothic, PGothic,
    it does not be bold either.
    I can type English in bold-text, but I can't type bold-text in Japanese.
    I appreciate if you tell me the reason why this thing happens.
    Is this kind of a "bug" in the HTMLEditor?
    Or somekind of setting problem?

  • Can we type cast class into interface?

    Hello all,
    Can we type cast class into interface?
    If it can ,pls explain me in which suituation can we do?

    You don't need to explicitly typecast a class to an interface, if the class is implementing the interface.
    Example: List list = new ArrayList();    // Cast not required.And search on Google first. I'm sure this question would be answered by the lamest of tutorials.

  • I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

    I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location.  They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

    In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
    If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

  • Browser can't find a text file opened via the save as dialogue box

    Hi there,
    I have a servlet which outputs a file using the servlet output stream, with the following lines set:
    response.setContentType("application/msword");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename="+ fileName);
    servletOutStream.write(myBytes);
    servletOutStream.flush();
    It works fine for .doc files and it seems the mechanism is that it is saved to the Temporary Internet Folder and delivered from there when the user clicks on the 'open' or 'save' option in the browser popup dialogue box. However... when I try this with text files, (setting the content type to "text/plain") I get the open/save dialogue box up correctly but if I try to open the file it says it cannot find the file, and gives the path under the Temporary Interenet Folder. If I look in there the text file isn't present - though the .doc files are.
    So... it looks as if the problem is that for some reason it doesn't save the text files correctly to the Temporary Internet Folder.
    I can't deliver the text files inline as a solution as the filename is lost and it thinks it's an html file (which the client doesn't want).
    Any ideas?
    Alison

    At least also set the content length. Your browser may be configured be the default application to open textfiles. If the contentlength is not set, then most applications would refuse to open the file without choosing for 'Save' first and manually open it.

  • Cannot paste text into Dreamweaver after the fancy new version changes

    After the latest update I can no longer paste text into dreamweaver.  I'm sure it's because of some corrupted file but don't know where to find and make that correction.

  • How can I combine a lot of text and images on the same screen?

    How can I combine a lot of text and images on the same screen?  I can get a couple of words on the screen with a graphic but not 10 lines.  I need 10 lines on the page with the image. 

    Priscilla,
    I routinely combine 10 lines of 36 pt bible or lecture text to a suitable background using Boris Title 3D.
    Many times the text is too long to fit the screen using Boris, so I devide it into 2 or more parts with no transition between sections.
    In my case, the text is on the screen as the speaker quotes them.

    YES, that is the free 5GB icloud memory for each apple ID. Can I not add the free 5Gb of my second Iphone to my original apple ID (5GB also) as I want to use one Apple ID name on both 2 Iphones? Is it necessary to have a different apple ID for the second Iphone to avail the free 5GB it carries with it?
