CANNOT SELECT BLOCK OF TEXT. HOW TO CORRECT?

I understand your frustration but please do not use all caps when posting--it "sounds" as if you're yelling to the eye.  In any case, are you sure you're using the select tool and not the hand tool?

  • I am so frustrated.  I put ab object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens.  It is so frustrating!  I then open up Everweb and the same thing,

    I put an object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer, just the text cursor shows) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens.  It is so frustrating!  I then open up Everweb and the same thing, I create an object and then try and elect it to make it bigger etc and cannot.  I know it must be something system wide as it happens in apps other than Pages.

  • Update 4.1.2 deleting large blocks of text following backspace correction

    OK, this is a difficult for me to explain, but here goes nothing.  I have been having an issue since the update.  When typing a message, when I backspace to correct a wrong word/spelling, and then select the correct word from the predictive text bar, most of my message gets erased and replaced with the one word I selected.  Even weirder, the word gets inserted in between the few characters of remaining text.  The first couple times it happened, I thought I had accidentally selected the block of text with my cursor, but that was not the case.  The text is not selected, but acts as though it is and gets overwritten/deleted.  This is happening in Messaging and Gmail (and I am assuming all other typing applications).
    Is anyone else having this issue?  It is making me wan to throw my phone out the window!  Please let me know if you know a fix for this.

    Mine is doing the same thing!  I got the update last night and it is deleting practically my entire message when I backspace.  Also, the puncuation options do not pop up anymore like they used to at the top of the keyboard unless you hit space and then backspace. 
    I'm right there with you...I want to throw this thing out the window.  I've seen some cool things this update did, but things I hardly ever would use.  The fact it messed with my texting (something I do a lot) has really ****** me off.

  • Newbie Mac user:  Selecting block of text via the keyboard only?

    Hi,
    I'm switching over to a Mac from a PC and haven't been able to find an answer to this question. How do I select a block of text only by using the keyboard?
    As an example, on the PC from wherever the cursor is in a document, if I then hit Ctrl-Shift-end, the entire rest of the document from the cursor down is selected. Another similar task would be to select all of the text from the cursor to the end of the line, which on the PC can be done with Shift-end.
    Are there Mac equivalents?
    Thanks.

    COMMAND-SHIFT-end to select from the cursor to the end of the line. COMMAND-SHIFT-pagedown selects from cursor to end of document, use pageup to select entire document.
    Other alternatives:
    Press SHIFT and use the right arrow key to select characters. Use OPTION-SHIFT and right arrow to select words. COMMAND-right arrow key moves cursor to end of line and OPTION-right arrow moves cursor to next word.

    In many instances wherever Windows uses CTRL in a shortcut the Mac uses COMMAND (Apple Key - ⌘)

  • Speaking selected blocks of text in preview

    Hello everyone.
    Hi, I am a fan of Speech functionality and use 'Start Speaking' in Preview for reading blocks of text back to myself.  Whatever text was selected is what would be read.  Now suddenly, every time I try to do this, it starts reading from the start of the document, regardless of what is selected. I discovered that selecting View > PDF Display > Single Page instead of Single Page Continuous makes it at least start reading from the beginning of the page I am on, but this is still annoying in most cases.  The behaviour works as before in web browsers, but not Preview.
    Any idea why this is? Did I change something? Why would the behaviour suddenly change?
    Thanks

    Never mind , a post in the sidebar answered the question.

  • I'm having problems (1)selecting onscreen text, (2) having problems resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

    I'm having problems (1) selecting onscreen text, (2) resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • How to efficiently select a block of text in iOS

    I'm a relatively new iPad user who has brought his iPad into hospital. I'm frequently find iOS to be quirky. There are frequent times when I cannot select the specific phrase i want to capture. iOS guesses and almost always guesses way wrong, way, way too much. I'm startled that Apple has no tutorials on the iOS operating system itself. What am I missing?

    If you don't have this already, you may find it somewhat helpful.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    You can also download the user guide as a free book in the iBooks Store. You will need to download the free iBooks app if you haven't already done so in order to download the book.
    Selecting text in iOS takes a little getting used to. It might help if you pinch out on the screen in order to enlarge the text and that makes it a little easier to refine the area that you are trying to select.
    I forgot about this one. This might be helpful as well.

    How do I delete a block of text on my IPad. For example, when I want to forward an email & want to delete the previous sender's info.

  • Converting PDF to Word changes the text to symbols. How to correct?

    Hi. I'm using Acrobat XI Pro and converting PDF's to Word docs changes the main text to symbols. I've tried this several times and always get the same result. Any idea as to how to correct? Thanks.

    Does the same thing happen if you select some text in the document, copy it
    and then paste it to Word?
    If so, then it's most likely a faulty font encoding.

  • How do I select similarly colored text using the magic wand?

    I converted a large document from RGB to CYMK (File | Document Color Mode). I'd like to select all of the text that was RGB(0,0,0) and is now CMYK(75.02,67.97,67.02,90.16) so I can change it to CMYK(0,0,0,100). I think the magic wand is the way to do this (correct me if I'm wrong).
    I have text in a dozen or more text areas. Many of the text areas overflow text into another text area. Some of the text in the text areas is "black" but there is also text with other colors that I'd like to remain unchanged.
    For example, I'd like to select all of the black text in the following two text areas without selecting the red text. I thought  that I could click on the black text and have all the black text (but not the red text), selected, but the entire text box is selected (and nothing in the second text box is selected). Can the wand select some text within several text boxes? If not, how should I go about changing the black? Thanks.

    Thanks Mylenium.
    If I use the Same Fill command, it does select both text areas. But if I then choose a replacement color (e.g., CMYK(0,0,0,100)) all of the text in both text areas is changed to black (i.e., the red text in my above illustration also changes to black).
