Can't add text to book pages

I just installed Aperture 2.1.2 and am trying to add a text box over an image on a book page. On the actions bar the only buttons that work after selecting the image are the Set Photo Filter and Set Background. The buttons for Text Style, Metadata Format, Add Text box, Add Metadata, Add Photo, Send Backwards and Send Forward are "grayed out" Also, if I try to select Add Text from the Book Actions button at the bottom of the Book pane, all of the options from the Add selection are grayed out. I am able to select and resize an image (I get yellow box around it). What do I need to do to enable these actions? The Aperture Manual just say's to use the Add Text tool, but it's not active on my system.
I am able to edit text on pages thet have pre-formatted text items.

Have the same problem and wondering if you ever found out how to make the Content and Layout buttons visible. Strangely these buttons are there if I use Aperture on my PowerBook, but not and my desktop Mac. Drives me crazy because I need to add more text and captions to some book pages.

  • How can I add an existing cfm page to a project?

    CFB3 Question: How can I add an existing cfm page to a project? I created a project and copied a file into the project folder but I can't seem to find a way to add the cfm file into the project.

    @Carl - Well heck, yes I did... But after reading your response I went back and tried right-clicking on and refreshing different things and what worked was right-clicking on the project name in the Navigator window and then clicking on refresh in that context menu.
    Thank you Carl!

  • How can I import text produced in Pages into Adobe inDesign?

    How can I import text produced in Pages into Adobe inDesign?

    Menu > File > Export > Word .doc/x
    I doubt it will do graphics and layout, but maybe, depending on your version of Indesign you may hit lucky (but probably not).

    how can I add a language on pages (Greek) to check the spelling when that language is not on the list?
    I can see other languages available for spelling check, but not Greek and I dont see how to add it.
    I have added the Greek keyboard on the Mac, so I can write in Greek , but I dont know how to check the spelling in Greek on pages

    You can try to add a 3rd party spellchecker

  • How can i add text to photo in iphoto?

    How can I add text to photo in iphoto without having lion or mtn lion?

    You can't add text to a Photo in iPhoto. You need an external editor for that:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    No. Adobe Reader is a READER, doesn't do editing of PDF files. You can't do that in Adobe Reader on Mac or Windows either.

  • TOC help, can I add a copy of page to TOC

    hello
    I'm making a photography portfolio book and want to but TOC at the end of the book, with a copy of the picture/page and then using the hiden text on the page to add a caption on TOC.
    Many thanks for any help

    I'm afraid I don't quite understand the question.
    You can have as many TOCs as you like in the file, if that's part of it, and you seem to know you can include hidden text. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that you could indlude an image of the page as an inline object in the hidden text and it would also appear in the TOC.

  • How can I add text to a field based on XML tagging?

    I'm fairly new to using XML in InDesign layouts, and I'm currently facing an issue getting a bunch of content from database records formatted in a print document (text that flows over dozens of pages). I've figured out how to create an InDesign template, but I need to be able to add text between some of the XML elements in two different scenarios:
    1. Add text or line breaks before or after an XML element that always appears in the document. For example: Adding "Description:" before the XML-tagged description content, or adding a return after the last element in a list.
    2. Add text before or after an XML element only if it appears in the document. For example: If there's a second phone number, tagged "Phone2" in the XML, then I want " or " to appear before it in the layout. Otherwise there's just one phone number and it continues on to the next piece of content.
    I have tried inserting this text into the InDesign template, but keeping them means having to also keep parts of the template that aren't used on every import--so I have a bunch of "or Phone2" bits of text to find and replace afterward. That's OK, but I'd like a more elegant solution that doesn't leave potential mistakes in my layout.
    In my preliminary research so far, it looks like an XSLT or scripting might be able to handle this, but I don't know where to start. Can someone tell me if what I'm looking for is possible and suggest the best way to do it? I'm going to have to trial-and-error a solution for this myself.
    I am using ID CS6 on a Mac. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks for your reply. The line that you mention is added at the top of the message, and includes the original sender's email. I would like my name to appear, next to each line I add in the text of the original mail.
    For example:
    Assuming my name is Joe Smith, what I would like to have as the final reply is described below.
    The lines that start with "[Joe Smith]" are my replies, to the original items in the original mail.

  • Can I add a custom .html page as a separate page within my site?

    I'm creating a website for my local baseball association using iWeb 1.1.2.
    I'm given several .xls files for schedules, rosters, etc. and I can save them as an .htm/hmtl page.
    But within iWeb, it doesn't look like I can import them as a separate page within my site.
    Is this possible? I suppose my only option is to create an external link to the pages correct?
    Will iWeb '11 allow me to do this?
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can in one of two ways:
    1 - put the custom page on your server and embed it into one of your iWeb pages using an HTML snippet and iFrame code as done in this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page.
    2 - put the custom page on your server and in iWeb create a totally blank page, name it for the custom page and add the following redirect code in an HTML snippet:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.window.location = "URL TO THE CUSTOM PAGE"; </script>
    Thanks to Cyclosaurus for this code
    When the visitor clicks on the page in your iWeb navbar they will immediately be redirected to the custom page.  You'll need to add a link on the custom page to send them back to your iWeb site.
    If you modify/update the custom page it will be automatically updated in your iWeb site without having to open iWeb.
    UPDATE:  3 - or add an HTML snippet to on of your pages and put the HTML code from the custom page into it.  That will display the custom page on your iWeb page.
