Cannot see/edit white text in editor mode

I am using contribute 3.11 and have run into a strange issue.
On a few of my webpages i noticed that when going into editor mode
contribute has a few of my page's text <li> highlighted in
white. (The highlights are only in editor mode and do not publish
as highlighted.) The problem is that my text is white and I cannot
see any of my text to edit unless i manually change the text color
to something dark and then change it back. I thought it might have
been the webpage or css but most of my pages have the same css and
they work fine in editor mode. Also, if i try to edit this in
dreamweaver it works fine so i know its not the page. Is there a
setting in contribute that im missing that highlights text for
editor mode. Any ideas???

Hi folks
Okay, here is a temporary workaround. I use this technique ALL THE TIME. Actually, just yesterday I used it repeatedly for about 5 hours for something I'm building in Captivate.
You will need to have more than just Captivate open. It doesn't really matter what, just that another application is open and maximized to fill the entire screen.
Scrub the playhead in Captivate until you get the image you want.
Without releasing the mouse, carefully press Alt+Tab to switch to the maximized application. Then release the mouse.
Upon returning to Captivate, you should see that the playhead is right where you left it. Somewhat in a state of suspended animation, As if you are still in the midst of scrubbing!
At this point you have some options. You may choose to click Insert and proceed to insert a Caption or a Highlight Box.
The edit area should remain put until you park the playhead.
I discovered this by accident one day and I really hope Adobe never "fixes" it as it's quite useful!
Cheers... Rick

Look in settings - message.

I switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy s4. Everything seems ok except text messaging with people who have an iPhone. I can send them a text, they can see it, but I cannot see what they text back. What can I do please?

I just switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy 4S and I like it except for text messaging. I can text, they can see it, but I cannot see their response if they are using an iPhone. Can you help me with this? What do I do please?

Congratulations on your new phone kathdogg! Now let's get your messaging working correctly. If you still have your old device, turn it on, go to settings, and turn off iMessaging.
If you are no longer in possession of your old device, you will need to remove your phone number from your Apple Support Profile. This can be done here: http://bit.ly/1cst2SC

Just updated to 1.1 and cannot see edit icons in filmstrip

Hello, in the middle of editing several hundred images and now that I updated to v1.1 I no longer see the icons in the filmstrip which indicate whether an image has been cropped or exposure adjustments have been made. I only see my star ratings. They do show up in library gridview but how can I get them to show back up in the filmstrip while I am in develop module? This is a major inconvenience if I can't get this to show up.
Thank you for assistance.

I have the same problem, but resizing the film strip does not work for me. No matter how big I make it the adjustment icons do not appear on adjusted photos.
Any other suggestions?

Cannot see OS X partition in Recovery mode

Randomly my Boot Camped MacBook Pro wouldn't boot into OS X. I see the Apple logo and it stays there indeffinatly. I tried repairing in the Disk Utility in the Recovey partition and that didn't help. I took my MacBook in to the Apple store and the tech there ran some command line utilites and made sure that the HD was physically okay, and it was. He suggested I boot into the Recovery partition and reinstall Lion from there as it would retain all my programs and files. When I first did this, the OS X partition showed as locked. Now I can't even see the partition. However if I boot into windows I can see all the files so I know the partition is still there. Any ideas short of reinstalling completely?

Done that before... nope
It just isn't there as if its not installed

Cannot see Display as Text (based on lov, saves state)

I have raised this question on the HTMLDB forum (Where is "Display as Text (based on LOV, saves state)" but in case its XE specific I am posting here too.
I have a tabular form in the XE version of HTMLDB, and wish to use the "Display as Text (based on LOV, saves state)" option. However, this option does is not available to me - are there some conditions necessary for this option to be displayed?
Thanks, Rob

Rob,
I doubt it's an XE specific issue. I've asked for more information in the original thread.

I cannot see my own sent texts

I cannot see my sent texts to other iphone users. This happens whether it is iMessage or SMS. It will show the sent message while it is sending and then the message will disappear. They will get it and respond to it but I cannot see it. Please help.

And what troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
Relaunch the app?
Restart the device?
Reset the device?
Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

Problems with white text & transparency from Photoshop to Acrobat

Hello Adobe Community!
What I am doing: I have a design I created in Photoshop CC. This design has a transparent background. I am attempting to save this as a PDF in photoshop so I am able to open it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and print it on any color paper with only the design showing
Issue: When I open the saved PDF in Acrobat. I can only see my white text and a faint outline of part of my design, and not even all the rest of the design.
Then when I print it on color paper only the text shows up (with black stroke) on the paper along with my crop marks I made in the PS design. also when printed on color paper the text become transparent for some reason (Showing the paper color through the stroke), even though the text was made white and the PDF document shows white text
Here are my steps:
1.Create Design
2.Save as..
3.Save as type - Photoshop PDF
4.[] As a copy, unchecked
5.[Check] Layers, Checked
6.OK
7.General Settings -
Adobe PDF Preset: [High Quality Print]
Standard: None
Compatability: Acrobat 9/10 (PDF 1.7+)
Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities, Checked
Embed page Thumbnails, Unchecked
Optimize for fast web preview, Checked
View PDF after saving, Unchecked
8.Compression -
Compression: None
The rest of the settings are default.
9.Open PDF from file
10.Print with default settings
11. Look at my butchered design in print
12.Continued Frustration
So for some reason its like Acrobat is 'Ignoring' the white in my design? I'm so confused and I've been at this for hours, going through forum post after forum post and it seems like i'm doing everything correctly but I'm not getting anywhere with it.
I hope I added all necessary information, this is my first time posting here.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Would someone mind looking at the file? any help would be very much appreciated.
Note:Also I inverted the entire design making it all black instead of all white. followed same exact steps as above, and it printed perfectly. My confusion/frustration continues.

You wrote: . . . also when printed on color paper the text become transparent for some reason (Showing the paper color through the stroke), even though the text was made white and the PDF document shows white text.
You can't print white using an inkjet or laser printer because there isn't white ink or toner in your printer.
The white needed to come from your paper which should be white.
All printers and presses use CMYK inks or toner.
What is the definition of White? C=0, M=0, Y = 0, K=0 so not a single droplet of any ink is being placed on the paper in any area that is supposed to be white..
Of course the color of the paper will show in areas where there is no ink.
When you see something white that is printed on a dark paper it using a special spot color Opaque White on a offset press..
(there is a single inket model from Epson that can print an ink that appears to be white. The model is $7,000 by the way. the [white] ink is $350, all the other inks are only $90)
From the Epson website:
Epson UltraChrome HDR White Ink introduces an all-new Organic Hollow Resin Particle Technology, which forces light to randomly scatter, producing the illusion of seeing the color white.
Notice that even Epson only claims it produces the illusion of white.
The only way around this issue is to print on White paper and print the "color of the paper" everywhere else on the paper that doesn't have your design elements.

Safari Mac won't display Rich Text HTML editor in Yahoo web mail

"Safari 3.2 (Mac)", "Yahoo email", "Compose Message" Toolbar, Rich Text (HTML) editor.
In Yahoo's Compose Message editor, I don't see the Rich Text (HTML) editor and its toolbar while using Safari 3.2 in Yahoo mail (classic). In Firefox, I see the Rich Text editor toolbar and it works fine.
I've searched on this forum, including Yahoo and others, and don't see this complaint. Is there something I've overlooked?
Is Safari Mac even capable of running the Rich Text editor in Yahoo email?

Hi Semi,
I found this in the Yahoo Mail Help:
How do I write in BOLD, italics or Color, or change font size?
On the Compose page, above the upper-right corner of the compose window, there's a link that either says Rich Text or Plain Text. Click this link to switch back and forth between the two. Since the link is the switch, you'll actually see Plain Text when you're in Rich Text.
In Rich Text, you can change the look of your message in a bunch of different ways. Again, since the link is there to switch from one mode to the other, if you see Plain Text, that means you're already in Rich Text! If you see Rich Text, click it.
The Rich Text toolbar appears above the Compose window.

IPhoto 7.1.3: Can view and enlarge photos but cannot see them in edit mode

When selecting and attempting to edit photos, the photo does not appear in the "edit" window below the thumbnails. This "edit" window remains blank. Edit functions appear operable but I cannot see what is happening to the photo until the edit has been made and shows up in the thumbnails. Anyone have a similar issue or suggestion?
Thanks.

The procedure for creating and populating a new library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
If the problem is persisting into a new library - how big is your HD and how much free space on it?

Can an InCopy editor add, remove and edit a text frame placed inside the main story text frame?

I think I already know the answer to this which is - no. I'll explain why I am asking the question in a second, but the reason I think the simple answer is no is because - text frames are controlled by a designer in the layout file, an editor using incopy can only edit the text and images placed inside text frames, and so cannot resize them, add or delete them.
Ok, so the reason I have asked this.
Is there a way around this so that editors in incopy can edit certain types of text frame that are contained within the main text frame? I'm using these text frames to contain specific paragraph styles, giving them a boxed look and also with an anchored icon in the top left of the text frame depending on the type of paragraph it is. See screenshot as an example of a green text frame that I am using to contain paragraphs of type "tip".
If it is not possible for editors in incopy to add, edit or resize these text frames (green tip frame in the example above), then how else can I style these paragraphs to give the same visual appearance, but without the use of wrapping them in a text frame?
One (not so good) way around this is for the designer to add the text frames in the layout file after he gets the content back from the editor, then moving the "tip" paragraphs into these newly created text frames. However when the editor updates the content in incopy and gets these new text frames in their copy, they can not then delete them if they wish to, or if they add or reduce content inside of these green text frames then the frames dont grow to fit their edited content. So I dont think its a solution for the designer to control the adding, removing and resizing of these frames.
UPDATE: I have just discovered that once a text frame has been placed into the document by the designer and the editor updates their copy in incopy- they can then use the "Position Tool" to select that text frame - allowing them to resize it, or delete it! Fantastic. But would the editor be able to add these frames in themselves to begin with? Maybe have a document containing all of the objects available to them, copy and paste one of them into the main document and edit its content? Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this? Essentially I would like the editor to control the insertion, editing and removal of these inline text frames.

True. But when all I am trying to achieve is a border around a paragraph, use of a table seems overkill to me. But if thats the only solution I have so far then I will have to go down that route.
It would be useful to have an object libraries panel in InCopy so that editors can drag across predefined text frames into their doc via InCopy, but I cant see that option in InCopy. is there one? I have also thought about exporting the frames as seperate InDesign Snippets and saving them to an objects folder, then when an editor needs to insert one into their doc they simply use File > Place > "Choose required text frame snippet". However I have found that InCopy can't place InDesign snippets so that theory was a failure. Is there another format I could use to save the objects and bring them into InCopy? List below shows my findings so far for trying to save/export a text frame from InDesign and then import into InCopy:
InDesign Snippet (.idms) - can't import into InCopy
InDesign Document (.indd) - imports content as an image - only editable in InDesign
InDesign Template (.indt) - imports content as an image - only editable in InDesign
InDesign Library (.indl) - can't import into InCopy - no panel available in InCopy for object libraries (that I can see...)
InCopy Markup (.icml) - only imports the text, loses the text frame

I cannot see any of my text boxes in the vertical view.

I just checked the first chapter of my iBook in the vertical display. I cannot see any of my text after the section introduction page. All of it is written in text boxes that I created. I can see all of my widgets and text in the standard horizontal view but when I switch to vertical all I can see is the section introductions and the widgets off to the left hand side. This is a guide to surface palpation. Each page is its own set of instructions instead of being one long piece of continous writing. Is there a way to reformat my text boxes so that they are visible in the vertical view without starting over?

The portrait mode only supports the flow of text (and pictures pasted into the text), and widgets (they will all be positioned on the left).
You need to design in landscape mode knowing how the portrait mode works. Text boxes won't show up in portrait mode.

How to edit multiple text boxes (not linked/chained) in story editor?

I don't have a book with running text, but lots of pages (70) with separate text boxes on each page plus some captions. It is a design for exhibition panels.
It is really painful to proof read. And taking a print for all these pages to proof read is a waste! Is there no way I can see "all" the text in a view, one by one (without selecting the text boxes on each page) to simply review and edit the text? Is the story editor so basic? (I don't see any options or functions in the story editor window!)

No way I know of in InDesign but what you could do is export all the content to an InCopy assignment. Open the assignment in InCopy and then check it out. That will give you all the stories to edit in Galley, Story or Layout view.
InCopy is a part of Creative Cloud. If you're on something earlier, there's little else I can offer unless you happen to be on CS6 since InCopy CS6 can still be purchased.
