Can't drag text boxes

When I try to drag a text box it automatically looks like I'm holding down the alt key and thus makes a copy of the object.

I mean when I try to move the text box object. Sorry for the long delay, but I believe this fixed itself in the last update.

How to convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

When I convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 it is a static document, thus not allowing me to make the text boxes expandable. How do I take a current Adobe 10 PDF with Text and convert it to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

Hi Alan,
TextField objects can expand dynamically. There are a few things that you need to do:
1. The TextField object should be contained in a subform that is set to Content: Flowed. This isn't technically necessary, but if you have anything below the expanding text box and the subform is set to Positioned, the text will expand and overlay what's below.
2. On the Field tab of the text field's Object property tab, check the Allow Multiple Lines checkbox
3. On the Layout tab, check the Expand To Fit checkbox under Y:/Height
4. Set the PDF Render Format under Form Properties/Defaults to Dynamic XML Form. If you're previewing in Designer, don't forget to set the preview to Dynamic too.

How can I embed text box on photos?

How can I embed text box on photos?

Did this software slow down the system in your experience?
No, not afaik. It behaves like any other external editor. You do not need to have it running in the background all the time. Just activate it from the contextual menu after ctrl-clicking the image you want to annotate and select "Edit with plug-in -> BorderFX" from the pop-up menu (or Photos -> Edit with plug-in -> BorderFX) .
Corky02 really said it all - the only draw back is that this plug-in really is more like an export plug-in and the edited version will create a new master.

Can't Move Text Boxes

I am trying to add mobile pages from my mobile site, but when I copy/paste the text boxes from the desktop version, then try to move them, Muse crashes. It also crashed when I created a new text box, added type, and tried to move that. Here is the error message that I received each time:
I have the latest version of Muse installed. I cannot move ANY boxes by clicking and dragging, but I can resize them. I have a ton of pages to do and can't spend the time nudging them or typing in values. I have no idea how to fix this, can anyone help?

Hi,
Could you please share your .muse file with us to investigate? Please email it to [email protected] If your file is greater than 20MB you can use something like Adobe SendNow or SendThisFile or Dropbox. Please do not forget to mention the link to this forum thread in your e-mail so that we can identify the file.

Can I export text boxes in InDesign to a word processor

-- I need to take the text areas of our catalog proof and put them in a text document. Been looking at all of the Export > options with no luck. Haven't been able to just move them - don't really want to do a copy & paste of all of the text in each box -- would take too much time. Tried exporting to pdf - but it wasn't editable - tried epub - got just BLACK -- tried snippets
Looking to hopefully choose multiple text boxes (not bother w/ the images) and either copy and paste in a document where the text could be edited. Idea here is to edit copy from print catalog to make web optimized copy for each product. Has anyone done something like this or heard of someone who has?
I have been able to, open indd file - highlight a page or section, save as a pdf. Open in Acrobat and then Save As > rich text, or Word doc - then I can delete out the images... .
Okay -- so I guess I'm looking for something more streamlined... straight from the Indd. file to text. Anyone have any cool ideas out there?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I'll check that out. I did try something where it was going to export the 'stories' but I think what I got was all of the formatting markup too, it was useless to me, though I'm not positive how I got that. LIke I said, I tried every export option.
I am using CS4 -- and its funny you should mention Buzzword, macinbytes, I just saw that while googling about Bridge as a possibility. Though we'll be upgrading to CS5 early next year (budgets and year-ends, you know! : ), I need to figure out some option and how this procedure is going to work as soon as I can.
Keep the ideas coming! Someone has to know how to do this and done it!? : )

Can't Drag Text from Terminal Window to Mail

I can drag and drop text from Mail to the Terminal window but not the other way around. I can drag text from Terminal to Word but not Mail. Is there a setting I have wrong somewhere?

Do we know if this is in the plasn for 10.5? It just seems like one Apple app to another Apple app should be abel to drag and drop text. It does work from Mail to Terminal... I can always copy and paste the text but it just gnaws away at me I guess.

How can I link text boxes between different Master Pages in InDesign?

Can't drag text

This must be the simplest process in iDVD. I am at the beginning, making the main menu. The Help guide says:
1.Choose Project > Add Text. The phrase "Click to edit" appears on the menu.
2.Double-click the text to select it, and type the new text.
3.Drag the text to place it where you want it.
Just like I thought it should be, pure and simple. But the drag only results in highlighted text; nothing moves. I tried grabbing the borders of the text box but nothing moves. Is this just too simple for me to figure out? How do you drag text?

You know, I already had tried that about 17 times. There is no hand cursor. But I found out what is needed by myself. You have to go to the Media tab and drag the movie project into the menu window. That activates the ability to move the menu items! Grrrr... Hey, Apple! Add that step to the Help guide list. Now I will search to see if anyone else has already posted the question of how how to get a "Return to main menu" button.

Touch 2nd Gen can not scroll text box down

I have a 2nd gen Ipod Touch and want to login to a public wifi which requires accepting a text box Condition & Terms.
It says: Please scroll to the bottom of the terms and click the checkbox to show agreement before clicking on the 'Accept' botton to access the system.
My question is: there is no way I can focus on the text box only and scroll down. Please advise. Thanks,

Nope, you're done. To get iCloud you need at least a 3rd generation Touch. And, you CANNOT upgrade your 2nd Gen to make it a 3rd Gen..

Can't select text boxes with Type Tool to write in on pages, only on Master Page

I'm unable to use the Type Tool to select the tax boxes on a document page in Indesign CC. I can select it on the Master Page. I can write on the Master Page. If I apply the Master Page afterwards, the written text from the Master Page appear on the document page, just as it should. But whenever I try to select a column on a document page, all the Type Tool does is draw a new text box (which I can select and write in). What's up with that? I applied the Master multiple times. If I can write on a the Master Page, why not on the document page?

Individual master frames can be overridden on a document page by holding down Cmd + Shift (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift (Windows) and clicking on them with the Selection tool.
Empty master text frames are generally more useful for placing external text files and having them flow from page to page than for typing, and they need not be overridden to do that -- just move the loaded cursor inside the frame.

I can't move text boxes out of box at top of page

I am using the iWeb SEO program to optimize my site for search engines. In so doing I created my own hyperlinked page names in individual text boxes and then placed them at the very top of the page. The trouble is that they will not show up when I update the site and I cannot move them out of a box at the top of the page.
There is a thin, wide rectangle sitting atop a thin line that runs all the way across the page. I cannot delete that thin rectangular box and if I try to drag it down it hits the line and just pushes the line further down. The same thing happens if I grab any of my navigation boxes (Home, etc.) If I attempt to move them down than that thin line moves down as well pushing the rest of the content down as I go. How do I rescue my navigation boxes from this area and why in the world are they locked in there in the first place???????

Hold the command key to dag textboxes from one layer to another.
And the default navigation links are locked in the naviation layer by design.
To add your own custom navigation, have a look here :

URGENT!!! How can I disable text boxes in JSP / Java Script??

Hi! Hope you can help me with this one. It's kinda am having difficulty disabling / enabling text boxes in my JSP or JavaScript code. How can I do this? thanks a lot in advance...GOD BLESS!!

I'm not really sure with Netscape browsers but with IE 4.0 and above there are two properties you can add to the <input> tag. They are Disabled and Readonly:
<INPUT TYPE="text" VALUE="testing" DISABLED />
<INPUT TYPE="text" VALUE="testing" READONLY />

Can't change text box in resume template

Hi,
I filled out my resume in a Pages template but now want to expand the text box (I believe that'd be the term) but it won't let me. Maybe it's not a text box after all. Any ideas?

By expand do you mean add text to it or make it physically bigger?
I take the later.
The size is set by the margins:
+Inspector > Document (1st tab) > Document margins+
+Inspector > Layout (2nd tab) > Layout > Layout margins+

Can you span text boxes in Pages?

With Pages for Mac, a small arrow at the bottom of each text box allows you to direct overflowing text to another text box. Is there any way to do this with Pages for iPad?

Can't drag text files into my iPod

I've seen that usualy below the iPod icon on the left side of the window of itunes, it use to appear "90's" "most popular music", something like that (some sort of playlists), but now it only appearas the little iPod image with nothing below (unless I create a Playlist). So there's nowhere I can drag my text files (Help says I should drag them into the "Notes" folder, but id doesn't appear there!)
What can I do??

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
First you have to enable your iPod for disk use. Go into Edit-->preferences and hit the iPod tab. Then check enable disk use. Click ok.
Now go into My Computer and find the drive representing the iPod. Open that. This is where the notes folder is.
