Can't select vertical text formatting since Win 7

Please help.
Have recently upgraded to win 7 and now I cannot select any text formatting options in the drop down text menus. I can see them, but the drop down menu buttons don't work.
Has anyone had this happen?
I have spent so much time on the computer and it's so hard to get any work done.
Advice would be much appreciated
I would like to go back to XP but the computer guy says that's not possible.
Thanks

Thank you so much for responding Peter. I feel one step closer to being able to get my work done.
Your solution means that I can now use the tools in the tools palette, but no luck with being able to use the text selection drop down menus.
It's quizzical. I can select the fonts by clicking through file the file path> type> font. Just not through drop downs.
Any thoughts anyone?

How can I show vertical text?

Hi all, does any body knows how can I show a vertical text using g2.drawString() method?
For example:
g2.drawString("Help", x, y);
I want the text appear like:
p
l
e
H
of course with the correct rotation of each character.
thanks in advance

Here's the code we use in the JFreeChart project:
     * A utility method for drawing rotated text.
     * <P>
     * A common rotation is -Math.PI/2 which draws text 'vertically' (with the top of the
     * characters on the left).
     * @param text the text.
     * @param g2 the graphics device.
     * @param x the x-coordinate.
     * @param y the y-coordinate.
     * @param rotation the clockwise rotation (in radians).
    public static void drawRotatedString(String text, Graphics2D g2,
                                         float x, float y, double rotation) {
        if ((text == null) || (text.equals(""))) {
            return;
        AffineTransform saved = g2.getTransform();
        // apply the rotation...
        AffineTransform rotate = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(rotation, x, y);
        g2.transform(rotate);
        // workaround for JDC bug ID 4312117 and others...
        TextLayout tl = new TextLayout(text, g2.getFont(), g2.getFontRenderContext());
        tl.draw(g2, x, y);
        // replaces this code...
        //g2.drawString(text, x, y);
        g2.setTransform(saved);
    }That bug workaround is causing trouble in some JDKs, try the original code and see if it works for you.

Can't select code text

Hello all,
I'm new to dreamweaver and searched the forum, but couldn't
find an answer. I am helping out a friend who has a HTML website
that was done by someone else. He wants me to simply change the
background image. I open it in dreamweaver and when I move the
mouse of the image I get the "circle with a slash" symbol, i.e. its
not selectable. If I go to the coding area, all of the text is
grayed out and I can't select it.
I know this thing must be "locked" somehow, but have no idea
how to unlock it.
Can someone help out this very green newbie?
Thanks,
Danny

Danny,
Without the code to look at I am guessing. Is the page a
template and are you trying to access a locked uneditable area? Is
the background image applied using css (which I recommend that it
is whatever your answer!)?
Check those points and come back to the forum with your code
if you can't figure it out.
regards

Music Server Can't See External Drive Formatted for WIN with Disk Utility.

Is there any reason an external drive formatted for WIN (MS-DOS(FAT)/FAT32 or NTFS w/ NTFS-3G/MacFUSE) with Disk Utility would not work for intended purpose? I have a music server (Bryston BDP-1) that uses an attached USB drive for storage/playback of music and can only read FAT32 or NTFS formatted drives. I've tried both and neither is readable by the BDP-1, yet I have no problem reading/writing to the supplied 2GB Thumb Drive (FAT32), as well as another 2GB Thumb Drive (FAT32). Get Info shows; "FAT32" for all drives formatted as such.
Note: From what I'm told the BDP-1 uses a scaled down version of Linux for it's OS. Isn't that UNIX? Shouldn't it be compatible (Read/Write) with other platforms (i.e, Mac)? Bryston says the reason they use it because it's Open-Source. Does Linux only work FAT32 or NTFS?
I do have Fusion/XP, also access to WIN PC's, but I just hate to use it when I shouldn't have to. It makes no sense why the drive can't be read by the BDP-1 when formatted for WIN under OS X.
And there was one other issue, after the third try to format fro WIN the external drive suddenly began making faint clicking sounds instead of a spinning drive sound only when plugged into BDP-1 USB port. But it works fine when connected to iMac FW.
HW Specs:
Drive: G-Drive Mobile USB/FW 750GB

Exchanged drive. Works now.

Can't select CMYK text colour for text fields in Acrobat Pro forms?

I have designed a business card template in Indesign, and now want to use Acrobat Pro to add in text fields so that a client can edit the contact details on the cards in future.
I need to select a specific text colour for the fields, so that it matches the rest of the design. The cards will obviously need to be printed and the document has been set up in CMYK, but when I enter the CMYK colour breakdown in the Properties > Text Colour panel, it won't apply the colour to that field. The text either stays at the default black, or reverts to RGB - which isn't suitable for printing and doesn't match the colour I need.
Can anybody PLEASE shed some light on this? Other similar posts have either not been answered or people have suggested JavaScript..? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with a JS code..? Surely there's an easier explanation?
Thanks in advance.

This is for a text field that you create in Acrobat, whether the form is used offline or online. The script is a custom Format script, which you can place by bringing up the Properties dialog for the field, select the Format tab, set a format category of Custom, and you should see where you can enter the script. Change the string "Instructional text goes here" to the text you want to display when the field is blank.

How can I keep my text format after pasting a text with a different format?

No matter when and where I start to write some text (whether it is a SImpleText, E-Mails, or anyother application's doc), if I have to cut and paste a text from a different source that is formatted differently than my original text (ie. the one I am already using ), once I have pasted the differently formatted text in my doc, the typeset changes while it continues to type with the same formatt used in the text I just pasted.
How can I continue typing with the same text formatt used before pasting the new text, after pasting the new text, without having to change size, font style etc. Is there a short cut?
What I have been doing to avoid this problem is: I usually type my entire text content (whether it is an E-Mail, or other doc) then, once I am done typing, I paste the text that was cut from a differently formatted document, so that my text remains with the same formatt in its integrity, while the pasted text stands out differently, but it is a bit complex doing that , because I not only have to remember to paste the other text when I am done typing (I run the risk of forgetting to paste the text I need to insert--which has happened already) or I keep struggling with my formatt change after the pasting of the new text, so my document text starts looking like the same text as the one which was just pasted.
Thanks for your time reading this!

(1) First, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing. By "SImpleText, E-Mails" you mean TextEdit and Mail, right?
(2) Some apps (TextEdit, Mail) use the text engine provided by Mac OS X. By and large, these apps will behave in a similar manner. Others (eg, MS Word) use their own text engine, and their behaviour can be quite different. For such an app you need to consult its manual.
(3) In TextEdit, if you want the pasted text to adopt the current style, then use kurt188's tip.
(4) However, if you may want the pasted text to retain its own attributes, while you continue to type in the previous style. I don't know of any shortcut or command that will achieve this. However, you can try to work around it.
(4.1) TextEdit has the Copy Style (⌘⌥C) and Paste Style (⌘⌥V) commands. If you haven't yet used it, ⌘⌥V will insert the default style. So type, paste, ⌘⌥V, then continue typing. If you have used, it will insert whatever style was copied. You can, type, ⌘V, click somewhere before the pasted text, ⌘⌥C, click after the pasted text, ⌘⌥V, and continue typing.
(4.2) Alternatively, type your text. Then type one more character, eg, "x". Then ←, ⌘V, ⇧→, and start typing. The new text should adopt "x"'s format. (This should work in Mail, too. I don't know, because IMHO e-mail should always be plain text.)

MS Word for Macs 2011 in Mavericks - can you help with text formatting?

When I try to copy and paste text in MS Word for Macs 2011 (14.3.9) the text doesn't retain its formatting. I'm running a year old 27" iMac with OS 10.9.1 Mavericks. My other Mac is still running OS 10.8.5 and the same verision of Word works fine.
Any ideas?

Works fine, here.
I've found it difficult to actually nail down what causes the odd behaviors in Office. I think it is due to the config files scattered all over, never knowing which one to delete.
However, you may be able to isolate the problem to your own account, or to the system by trying two things:
1) Log into another user account (a new one would be good, or Guest) and try there.
2) Boot into Safe Mode and try there: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
If it works in 1, then there is something in your account causing the issues.
If it works in 2, then the something is third-party software.

I can't change the text formatting with slideshow captions.

They revert back to a color and size other than what I specified. I have tried doing paragraph styles, charecter styles, unchecking the edit together. Nothing helps.

HIr
Yes, first I convert long_to_varchar for edit, and convert varchar_to_long.
I edit before before and later
Thanks

Can't select text when export in HTML and Images

I am entirely new to Fireworks and I can't find anyone to teach me Adobe Fireworks. I followed some youtube tutorials but most of them are vague. I am still figuring the way to export from Fireworks to Dreamweaver, without affecting its contents like bitmap images and the text. When I export in HTML and Images format and opened the htm file, I can't select the text I've inserted in Fireworks. Can anyone tell me what I should do?

I cant scroll below or above viewable section of text in any of my Macbooks, iMac, Mac Mini. Never have been able to, never could, except by pressing the arrow keys whilst selecting, to move up or down.
Its stupid
I dont have flash installed (never will do since my first virus of video ad sound running in background from Cnet was downloaded and kept returning until i deinstalled flash).
I believe that this is a universal issue because none of my Macs can scroll out of screen when selecting text, which as a webmaster and developer, is a pain in the butt
My issue is not in word documents, its in everything

Please, I need help - How can I generate a text file with Word format?

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
is it possible for me to create a text file - that is, with TEXT_IO.fopen, and so on - that's already formatted as a Word document?
We have a Forms program here, where it's needed to generate a text file with .RTF format, 8 centimeters margin, Times New Roman font, with size 7.
Best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Hello Shay,
sincere thanks for your answer. And, to answer your last question, I'm using client-server model.
Since I couldn't create this .RTF file by using built-ins like TEXT_IO, I tried to generate an .RTF file using Reports, passing the parameters DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT, as shown below.
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESTYPE', text_parameter, 'FILE');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESNAME', text_parameter, 'c:\franklin.rtf');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESFORMAT', text_parameter, 'RTF');
However, the just generated .RTF file is uncomprehensible. After opening the file at Microsoft Word, I can see the following message at the top of file:
This file was created by Oracle Reports. Please view this document in Page Layout mode.
... and informations doesn't appear as desired.
If I can't generate such text format by using TEXT_IO, and if generating an .RTF file through Reports shows me an incomprehensible result, how can I export the selected result to an .RTF file?
When Reports is opened, choosing Generate to file -> RTF doesn't export anything.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Can't Select File Format in Image Capture

I just installed SANE software to support my old HP 5470c scanner on my new Mac Mini running Lion. If I select Color or Black and White, I can't select a file format. If I select Text, I can choose TIFF, PNG, or PDF. Also the Scan button only works in Text mode, presumably because a file format is not selected. Is this an issue with Image Capture or did I need to set up some file formats some where?
Thanks,
Curt
P.S. I can get a color scan in basic mode although the scan itself is corrupt.

I had a similar issue where only a few file formats were available when color was selected (png, tiff and something else, which i knew was weird because i've always scanned to jpeg and that was not an option). The menu went back to normal, fully populated with all of the file formats once again when i toggled the DPI menu. I had been at 300 DPI, I simply switched it to 100 and then back to 300, and suddenly I had twice as many formats to choose from. Hope that helps.

Can't select text in header

Man... Just found out after build several web sites that, if you want a browser to show a title other than the explicit name of the page in the left column, you need to edit the text in the header.
Easy enough. So now, in an existing web site I've built, I turn "show navigation menu" back on so I can see the header text. problem is, I can't select it. All the names up there are the names of my pages. If I click on the box, I can resize it, but I can't select the text at all to change it. If I click on one of the page names, it takes me to that page, so the links are working.
To calrify... I don't want to show this header nav bar. I just want to be able to control the name that comes up in the browser frame, without actually changing the name of the page.
Am I missing something? probably.
Thanks.
B

When you first create a page there is a text box at the top just under the navbar with the name of the theme in it. Whatever is in that text box will be the text that shows in the top of the browser's window, i.e. Welcome, About Me, My Photos, etc. (that is if you don't change that text).
If you don't want to change what you currently have you can use the following code in an HTML snippet to set the title of the page to be displayed by the browser:
<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.document.title = "PAGE NAME TO SHOW IN BROWSER TAB/BAR";
</script>
