Change color of future typed text in a pasted document?

How do I change color of future typed text in a copied document? Thanks. My son is doing online home schooling this year and has Study Sheets that he types in his answers. Currently, he highlights his typed text then chooses the color. Is it possible to auto-format this somehow? Thanks!

Pages relies a lot on Styles. Either you can create a paragraph style with a green text colour or just create a character style with a text colour. Here is an image from a document with several character styles in colour.
In the second image I have instead created a Paragraph style with green text colour. This is the only way you can get a template to remember a change of colour as the default is alway black. To create the styles you click on the small triangle to the left of None (for character style) or Body (paragraph style) and choose Redefine style from selection. Save as Template.
More about this can you read in the Pages User Guide downloadable from your Pages Help menu.

How to change color of the caret (text cursor) in a TLFTextField used for input.

This might be a very simple Question, but I have looked and searched everywhere and don't find how to change the color of the caret in a input TextField.
any ideas?
Thank you in forward.

This was driving me crazy, too--and the previous answers did not seem to work. I eventually found that if I click one of the data symbols in the graph in exactly the right spot (see below), it selects only the data symbols and not the line. I can tell this because the little selection dots will be around each data symbol, but no selection dots will be on the line between the data symbols - like the graphic in Yvan's answer. Then and only then will the color symbol in the tool bar show the color of the data symbol, instead of the color of the line. I believe that you then have to first click on the color swatch in the toolbar and then select your color (or choose Show Colors and select from the color tool). Just clicking a color in the crayon box, for example, did not seem to work unless I first clicked on the color swatch in the toolbar, then clicked Show Colors on that dropdown, and +only then+ clicked the crayon or whatever.
_The right spot to click_ seems to be just above the exact center of the data symbol, at least for the diamond shape symbol that I prefer. Sometimes it takes several tries to hit the right spot. If I miss it, the whole line is selected, which is indicated by the little selection dots on the line, between the data symbols. When I click the right spot, those selection dots go away, leaving only the data symbols selected. Then I can change the color, as described above.
I hope this works for you too.

Changing field size by typing

Dear,
Is there a way to use use a multi ligne texte field without à scroll bar.
Is it possible to let the field changing size with the typed text ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you set the textfield to plain text and limit to visible area and set the font of the value to '0' - then the font will start off at 12pt and will automatically reduce once the field has filled up. Takes some experimenting to get the size right for the average content the user will put in. Otherwise the font becomes too small.

Initially, a control has no caption. It's not just that the caption string is empty and the caption not visible, but the caption object does not exist.
I think this should probably be changed in future versions, because even if each control had a caption, it would still be a negligible small part of the VI. The current behavior made sense many years ago where HD and memory space was very precious. Not any more!
This issue comes up often enough that it warrants addressing the root of the problem.
It is hard to convince the casual that the caption does not exist if he can simply do a "show caption" at edit time and it will show in all glory, even with the default set to the current label. It is confusing!
There is even an idea about this that seems worth supporting (also read the link in the discussion).
What do you think?

I need help highlighting an expiration date on my Numbers '09 spreadsheet. I want the text/fill of a cell to change color when the expiration date of an item is within 180 days of the current date.

I need help highlighting cells on my Numbers '09 spreadsheet. I want the cell text/fill to change color when the date is 180 days or less from the current date. I already have a cell with the current date in it. I also know how to change the fill/text colors. All the cells have been formatted to show date only. I am having trouble with the formula. I can get to the Conditional Formatting menu and select "With Dates" but after that I am lost. Can anyone help?
Thank you for any assistance.

Set a Conditional Format rule as shown in the illustration below. The rule has been applied to all dates in column B of the table.

How can I change the color of the highlighted text when using the FIND function in Terminal?

When searching for text in the Terminal's buffer, the matched text is highlighted using a color which seems to be computed from the background's color. I'm using a black backgroud and the finder's highlighter is grey. How can I change this? I'd like to specify the foreground and background colors of the matching text. I couldn't find an appropriate setting in the terminal's settings, nor in the default settings using the command "defaults".

In my .bashrc file, I have enabled a couple of grep environment variables.
GREP_OPTIONS='--color=always'
GREP_COLOR='00;38;5;226'
The latter is a vivid yellow.
From the shell, I can search my history:

ExtendScript Illustrator - Change color of text one character at a time.

I'm trying to write code for ExtendScript ToolKit to target Illustrator. I've been writing in JavaScript, but am open to switching to AppleScript if needed. The goal of the code is to change the characters in a text box one by one to the color of the image behind that letter. The end goal is to have the color of the text create the image.
Basically, I select a character. And lets say that character is at 720x648 (in pixels) in a 24x36 in image. Then I detect the color in the image layer at that location. Then turn the selected character to that color.
I have encountered two problems, finding a way to have the script detect the color of the picture at a given location (ideally in pixels) and then change that one character to that color.
So far my code is this, with a color hard coded in for testing purposes since I haven't figured out the detection part yet.
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
//get text from textbox
var numChars = 0;
textArtRange = doc.textFrames[0].contents;
numChars += textArtRange.length;
//loop through to select characters one at a time
for (x=0; x<numChars; x++){
     var selectChar=textArtRange.charAt(x)
     doc.characterStyles.removeAll();
     var charStyle=doc.characterStyles.add("NewOne");
     var charAttr=charStyle.characterAttributes;
     var detectedColor = new RGBColor();   //ideally the detected color would go here. But for now it is hard coded.
         detectedColor.red = 242;
         detectedColor.green = 51;
         detectedColor.blue = 51;
     charAttr.fillColor = detectedColor;
     charStyle.applyTo(selectChar); // I got an error here: "Object expected".
}//end for loop
To detect the color, I tried using the following code, but it only works in Photoshop and even there I can't find a way to store that color the way I need to.
app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.removeAll();
var pixelLoc = [UnitValue(16) , UnitValue(16)];
var myColorSampler = app.activeDocument.colorSamplers.add(pixelLoc);
I have put in so many hours into this and just want to rip my hair out. Any help or guidance anyone can give would be SO appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!

there's no native command to do this in illustrator,
I tried using the following code, but it only works in Photoshop.....
unless you get extremely lucky (working with matching Object names) photoshop code won't work in Illustrator.
a possible workaround, clip your text to your image, rasterize it, trace it, you might end up with a solid color per character, where you could read their color.

How do I change the color of all the text in a PDF?

Hi.
I have a large PDF, over 1000 pages. Some of the text is highlighted which makes it difficult to see on my preferred document background. In Acrobat XI how do I change the color of all the text in the document back to black please? Although solutions using any other software will be much appreciated too.
I searched this forum already, and the same question was asked back in 2007 when it appears the only solution was to use an expensive third party plugin.
Thanks.

I know of no new solutions since 2007 except the ones you found.
You could use the Accessibility Preferences > Change Document Colors to choose a text color. However, this is an individual preference and cannot be set as a default for others opening the document.

How do you change the color of the title text?

The main title text for the tap your currently on shows up centered one line above the tab row. The default is black text, with a gray drop shadow, but that doesn't work with dark background themes/personas. How do I go about changing that text color so that its visible on a dark background. I've tried changing font stylings in general for the browser, and I've tried changing the color values in the about:config for the persona, but none of that works. How do you change the color of the title text?

That colors option under content doesn't change the color of the title text, but thanks anyways

Possible to change color of text in a text layer?

Hi There,
Is it possible to change the color value of a text layer via ExtendScript? I scanned the documentation, but didn't immediately notice anything that would let me get to that property. Is it possible? If not, are there any workarounds?
Thanks,

Query regarding changing the background color of an input text

Hi,
I want to change the background color of an input text component.When I tried with the back-ground color inline style, it changed the color of the label instead of changing the background color.Is there any way I could do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
use the contentStyle property (or skinning af|inputText::content if you want to change this in one place for all input text fields)
