Can objects be anchored to boxes instead of/in text?

I'm working on a newsletter and have created my "continued on page x" and "continued from page x" boxes to connect my articles together. I've been able to create Object Styles for each one and have anchored them to the text box. My problem is that if I should happen to resize the main text box which contains the article, for instance, the text obviously flows; and depending on where the anchors are, they may jump to the next text box. My workaround has been to place my anchors close to the middle of the text in the text box (especially after the first text box). Occasionally I run into problems if the text is edited or removed then I lose the anchors altogether.
Is there a way to anchor objects so that they don't reflow, can lock to a particular box or simply anchor to the box instead of the text? If there is a better way, I'm open to that too.
thanks!

There's a trick which I've been preaching for years:
Use text on a path to anchor the continued text to your text frame.
You'll need to construct your text frame the right way around to
prevent the text on the path to creep around the frame as it's resized.
You'll need to be careful in CS4 though, because of a bug which
prevents text on a path from being exported beyond a certain page...

Raw HTML data in reply box instead of formatted text when using forums or webmail interface

At work, we use an internal webmail service with SmarterMail Enterprise 5.5 to communicate. Since upgrading to FF6, the reply text area no longer shows formatted text, and instead just shows the raw HTML code of the message you're typing. The size of the message box area is also reduced to about half what it used to be.
Text formatting also does not function on several message board forums around the internet. Seen many others complain about the same.
This did not happen in Firefox 5, and does not happen now in Chrome or IE8. Something about FF6's handling of webmail interfaces and forums or the handling of an extension that affects a webmail interface or forum is off.
Any help?

AFAIK, no. Acrobat/Reader will only generate plain-text emails.

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

The top screenshot is the Windows Open dialog box. All File > Open... commands in all Windows programs bring it up. Try File > Open in Notepad for example.
It belongs to Windows not Adobe. You cannot change this because there is no such thing as an Adobe Open dialog box.
The bottom screenshot is Windows Explorer. It is Windows' OS File Browser, not an Open dialog. It is not called up by Photoshop or any Windows program.
You have to click on "My Computer" or a Folder icon to get to it. You can double-click a psd, jpeg or other image file in the Explorer window so that it opens in Photoshop.
There is Adobe Bridge and Minibridge Alt + Ctrl + O or File > Browse in Bridge

Some of the apps previously downloaded have now become blank - white box instead of picture. Name of app still appears. Have tried hard reboot and sync to make sure everything is up to date. Anybody ever had this? How can I fix?

One more thing to try. Double click on the home button. Scroll in that bottom line of icons (swipe finger to left) to the app that are all white. Hold your finger on the app until the - sign appears. Tap it to close the app. Hopefully it will then show up correctly. (As they say about chicken soup curing a cold, "can't hurt")

Can we have a multiselect box in OIM forms?

Hi guys,
How can we have a multiselect in the object form.As I can see default form doest support this.
Is there any way we can include one.
phil

There isn't direct way to doing this, but you can use child forms for multi-select option. Having child-forms in request forms isn't that user friendly - so alternative to that would be modify the default Lookup field behavior to have check boxes instead of Radio - buttons. This behavior can also be controlled per field basis.
You may want to look at tjspForm.jsp and tjspLookupFormTiles.jsp.

EPUB - GRAY BOXES Instead of Images

When exporting my epub book, I get gray boxes instead of images. Has anyone else run into this or know what to do to resolve this issue?
All the images are linked properly and InDesign is saying I don't have any errors. The only way I can get images to show up is ONLY if I select "Use Existing Image for Graphic Objects". But if I select this, I lose the cropping and orientation adjustments I've made in my inDesign file. I've even tried just copy and pasting an image into the document itself.
Needless to say I've spent way too long trying to figure this out and haven't made any progress...

If other people can export it fine but you can't, then I would suggest some troubleshooting of your InDesign install.
Have you tried rebuilding your preferences and then re-exporting?
Have you made sure you're not using any third-party plugins that automatically load with InDesign?
Assuming you've done those two tests and are still having a problem, then try it on a test account on your computer. Package the InDesign file and put it on a thumbdrive (or I guess you could just download the files from the link above) and then log out of your account on your computer, and log in again to a fresh new account with admin privileges. (If you haven't created one yet, you should do that first before logging out ... lol)
When you log in to the new account, all the apps are available to you but none of your other account's files or user settings. So open InDesign, download/copy over the packaged file, and open the layout and export. See if that makes any difference.
I have a short course on lynda.com on troubleshooting InDesign (just 10 short videos) that goes over these and other steps.

If dev done in unittesting box instead of sandbox.

what r the consequencesif developemt is done in unittesting box instead of sandbox.(if changes done in existing Z FM )
and how this shall be rectified?
new pgm saved as local object should be ok.can be deleted and started from sandbox.
but if changes done in existing Z FM and new table created directly in unittesting box instead of sandbox.

Hi, generally developement will be done in DEV. Sandbox is better not to consider as a system at all.. its just a junk box.. no one is really bothered about...
most of the the times..developer access key is not given in unit testing server.. so you cannot make any changes...
if you made any changes for the ZFM in one server and want to reflect in another server.... you need to create a Transport request to the Function group to that FM.. and ask your basis guy to move to ur requested server..

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

Why is my preview area showing only greyed out boxes instead of photos?

I am unable to import my photos so they can be seen. Whether I try to import them from the hard drive, camera card, or my desktop (following the tutorial), I do not see photographs in the preview area, only greyed out boxes instead of photos. If I imported 6 photos, I have six greyed out (photo-sized) boxes. The specific photos are there somehow, becuase they are properly named when I scroll the mouse over them, but I see only flat grey, no pictures. As I said, this happens even when I follow the tutorial and import from my desktop.

George,
I appreciate you responding to my inquiry. We (that would be the "royal" we, which would be my husband) finally determined that the monitor was not configured properly. "We" discovered this out after uninstalling and reinstalling Lightroom several times.
To answer your question, I was trying to import both photos taken in JPEG, as well as RAW, both were problematic. I could import no images. It was interesting that I could tell all of the data was coming over (when I floated the cursor over a grayed-out box I could read the data), just not the images.
I have a Nikon D5100. I purchased Lightroom 5.0 just before now(two days ago), and was trying to install and play with it. I upgraded to 5.2 as I was going into it for the first time (it is an automatic question). I knew there was obviously a problem when I couldn't see any images. Particularly when I went into the tutorials -- it just reemphasized that something was wrong. Who ever thinks of how their monitor is configured?????
Thank you for following up. I was very frustrated for many, many hours.

Can you view text outside of the canvas? as with the view menu you can see animation paths, bounding boxes and handles??? many thanks

re: Motion 5
can you view text outside of the canvas? as when using the view menu you can see animation paths, bounding boxes and handles???
I'm in the middle of a text animation design treatment and unless my memory is completely failing I thought this was an option.
An example would be selecting all layers and being able to see all bounding boxes and animation paths while moving along the timeline.
Of course this could be quite a mess if you couldn't selectively chose which layers, its just with this current project it would be so helpful if
I could see the text beyond the canvas to aid in my animations.
many thanks,
robert

thanks for both of your responses
I do understand shift + v " to "Show Full View Area" and shift + z to fill screen, etc.
and command + & - for zooming
what I'd like to do is selectively view, say, the text outside of the canvas as you can see the bounding box
which contains the text or object when selecting one or all layers in the layers column
I haven't used this feature in a while though I do recall using it in the past.
Any help would greatly appreciated

JSPX Design View shows 'boxes' instead of WYSIWYG

For a particular project I've just created to examine/try some custom JSF tags, when I edit mypage.jspx file, I get a display of nested boxes instead of a WYSIWYG view of the mypage.jspx page.
This does not happen in a similar project that I've already completed & can display a .jspx from that project in a window next to the one displaying the boxes for mypage.jspx.
Any ideas how to get it to display correctly?
The code of the page that doesn't display correctly is below:

Doing this showed me that I was missing a library - JSTL.
I added the JSTL 1.2 library, then closed and re-opened the .jspx and am seeing the page correctly.
I am still getting an error when loading one of the 2 pages in the project. In this case an ADF/JSF only page. The page does display properly, but I get an error message in the log.
The error is:

Creating a PDF from a SAAS app creates boxes instead of Japanese characters

I'm using an online app (Unleashed Software) to "print" invoices, and the printed invoices show boxes instead of Japanese characters. The really weird thing about this problem, is that it occurs only on certain devices. I've tested on Macs, Windows, Android, and iOS, and on some devices I get the problem, and on some devices I don't. It's not just a Windows problem, or a iOS problem. Additionally, I use different browsers, from Chrome, to IE, to Firefox, to Safari. Changing the browser doesn't seem to help when it's on a device that won't output Japanese characters in a PDF properly.
I'm wondering how PDFs are generated when using online software. Since I can't reproduce the problem on certain devices, it seems to me that the software is using some local settings to render the PDF incorrectly.
Any ideas of how I could go about troubleshooting this problem?

Hi,
Could you please answer the following questions
1.What version of Crystal Reports are you using?
Go to Help-> About to find out.
2.What is the font you are using on the report?
Try to change the font style to MS Gothic or Arial Unicode MS, most preferably MS Gothic.
And export the report to PDF format.
This may help you
Thanks,

F053 boxes instead of images on multiple websites.

At some point little icons or images became replaced with small boxes with a "F053" or "F0XX" where XX is a set of numbers on several websites, I cannot seem to get that fixed.
Image link: http://postimg.org/image/f7zp1wvnh/
Resetting firefox is LAST RESORT.
Thanks in advance.

Those missing icons are actually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can see by the little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click to toggle its value).
You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Show text in dropdown box instead of value....

Hello,
I'm having this annoying problem. In a dropdown box, I can only see the value, not the text associated to the value. I think this is strange since I've worked with this before and don't remember having to select the "Text".
Do I have to do anything?
By the way, If I swap the value with the text I can see the text, so I know the problem is that I'm seeing the value instead of the texts. They are available just not being shown.

Enter Passcode is now a text box instead of a 4 digit PIN code...

hi,
recently, I somehow got into a state where my phone (first generation iphone running 3.0) got into a state where the passcode is a text edit box instead of a four digit PIN code. i tried entering my PIN, didn't work, tried entering every password I use -- still doesn't work. what is going on here? i would like to be able to use my phone again someday...
anyone know what's going on?
thanks.
-phil

Well the only route I can think of if it only happened due to error and not that you are using a phone connected to a company Exchange server is to restore it. Though believe it won't let you by normal means, you have to put it in recovery mode and then restore it as new.

Can objects be anchored to boxes instead of/in text?
