Change text colour in mail replies

with Community Support help, I have found the 'colour' icon and how to get it on the toolbar when composing an email, but it's not an option in the 'reply' or 'reply all' mode - the choices to customize the toolbar there are far fewer and don't include 'colour'. It's a pain to have to highlight and go thfough the menus and submenus all the time, is there a way to get round this? I like to reply withing the body of quoted text and the only way this is workable is to use a different colour for the text - it was siample before i upgraded a few days ago to Lion! GRRRRR!

In the Reply window, click the Text button in the Toolbar -
and a new section will be added underneath the Toolbar. This section provides text formatting controls, including a button for Text color -

How do I change Text Colour in a Spreadsheet? The Help menu doesn't help.

Simple question whcih i cannot find the simple answer to: How do I change Text Colour in a Spreadsheet? The Help menu doesn't help.

Hi Lecia,
You have several choices.
Use the first set of controls in the Format Bar. One of these is a Color well (red in the image). Select the cell(s) in which you want the text coloured, then click the well to open its Color palette, and choose your colour.
Use the Text Inspector. Open the inspector, click the Text button (T), and use the tools there (similar to the set in the Format Bar).
Press command-T to open the Fonts Window. This offers a few more options than are available in the Inspector or the Format bar.
Regarding "Help": I'd recommend using the Numbers '09 User Guide, which you can download via the Help menu. Easier to search, and easier reading than the individual Help articles. search 'text color' to quickly get to instructions on applying colour to text.

Barry

Changing text colour in Pages for ios...button missing

I'm trying to find a way to change text colour in a document, -all available information states that there is a button, with an i on it (info button) to adjust settings such as font colour, that button is mysteriously absent for me.
The toolbar would need to look like the screenshots in this article for me to follow the instructions to format text colour: http://www.topappreviews101.com/pages-ipad-app-5.html
My buttons look like the ones in the screenshot here: http://www.ipadou.com/nouveautes-des-applications-apple-apres-la-keynote
I do have various formatting option with the buttons I have on mine, but not any that will allow me to format the text colour i.e the instructions available to me tell me to press a nonexistent button.
am I going mad/has something recently change/is there anything I can do about it?!
Any help would be much appreciated.

I could not get your links to show me what you were looking for, but I just opened pages and figured out how to change font color. I am using the most current version of pages for its, so I don't know if this works on older versions.
If I screw the instructions up, simply open a document in pages, touch the wrench then help, and search for color. Then look in the style section.
Anyway. Highlight the text you want to be in a different color. Touch the paintbrush looking icon in the tool bar. The touch style. Then touch the name of the font. ( or change the font). A color setting will appear. Pick what you want.

Trying to fill a shape or change text colour-it is always grey instead of the colour I picked?

I have been working on a file and whenever I have a couple of shapes and some text. When I try to change the fill of the shape or change the text colour it is always changing to grey. It will let me pick a colour, but the box at the bottom(foreground/background box) is always grey as well. Please help.

THANK YOU SO MUCH BARBARA! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my simple problem(eventhough at the time it was so frustrating). Thanks again. Leanne

Is it possible to change text colour in code view?

Hi all,
Not sure if this is possible as never seen it myself, but is it possible to change the text colour in the code of the html?
A site I am building at the moment is for a school who want to be able to edit text / links occasionally, and as they will only be using something like notepad and have no html knowledge between them whatsoever, I thought if I could highlight bits in the code which are 'not to be played with' it would make everyone's job a lot simpler!
Possible or not?

Changing text-colour for links

I can change the text-colour on my web-pages for ordinary text, but not for links. Is there any way around this ?

BUG: Changing text colours within a text block: Keyboard shortcuts problem (Photoshop CS5)

In earlier versions of Photoshop, I could double click a Paragraph Text to edit it, then select individual words and change their colours using the Ctrl+Backspace and Alt-Backspace keyboard shortcuts (to change them to either Background or Foreground colours).
In PhotoShop CS5, Alt+Backspace is OK, but Ctrl-Backspace deletes the highlighted word! Not good. I believe this is a bug, can it be fixed to revert to the old behaviour?
(Photoshop CS5 Extended x64 on Windows 7 x64)

I fully understand what you're saying, and while I'm all for compatibility, user interface change cannot be accomplished without, well, change.
Imagine, for example, that thousands of people could have reported that they couldn't delete the prior word with Ctrl-Backspace while using the T tool in Photoshop, while they could with every other application on their systems. Imagine that none of the users like you reported that they were happy with things the way they already are.
Perhaps the best approach in a situation like this would have been for Adobe to add a configuration option somewhere to allow individual users to make the choice. But EVEN THEN there's a push from the Marketing types to simplify the number of choices given to customers, probably because doing so reduces support costs (imagine, for example, someone brainlessly setting it to your flavor of Ctrl-Backspace, then calling support to complain that they can't delete the prior word as they have always been able to do). There are a lot of requests on this forum that read like "I must have changed a setting somewhere, but I'll be darned if I can find it."
Microsoft and Adobe have both moved lately in this direction (reducing choices and configurability), reportedly to "reduce the cognitive load" on presumably ever less intelligent users, with ill effects in many cases. Unfortunately, "you can have it any way you like so long as it's our way" seems to be the way of the future.

Changing text colour affecting more than one text box

I am creating a word cloud in a shape as a design.
I want to use only 3 colours for the words randomly. Each word is in a seperate text box
I am finding however that when I change the colour of one word it automatically changes a few? I cant work out why?

What I've done in the past is
Find out how many characters per line.
Setup character style called VarLine 1, VarLine 2, VarLine 3 etc.
Set up a paragraph style for your text.
Go to the nested style.
VarLine 1 up to # characters
VarLine 2 up to # characters
VarLine 3 up to # characters
etc.
Set up your Variables for
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Then set each one to pick up the appropriate VarLine character style.
This works to a certain extent, it will need tweaking, as each application is different. I'm not sure if it will work in your case, but you never know.

Can I create a keyboard shortcut for changing text colors in Mail?

When composing an email in Mail (v5.2), I often have the need to change the text of a few words to red to highlight them (e.g. names of people assigned to an action item) but want to do it via keyboard shortcut. I know I can do the following:
Press Command-Shift-C brings up to Colors panel
Choose the color (e.g. Red) with my mouse
Type the text
Choose the color (e.g. back to Black) with my mouse
Continue typing text
And that's if I want the color panel to stay visible (add at least 3 more steps all together if I close it in the interim).
I've tried using keyboard shortcuts to assign a color (couldn't find the right menu path) and Automator to create a script (the color panel always has to be in the right location which it may not be). None of those techniques work.
It's an annoyance more than anything else but I imagine it should be possible.
Thanks for any assistance!
John

Not only is this very possible, it's also very easy. You can do this not just for Quark but for any application in OS X. To accomplish what you want, do the following:
* Firstly, quit QuarkXPress completely. The rest of the steps won't work if it is still running.
* Go to the Apple menu and select System Preferences.
* Click the Keyboard & Mouse System Preference Pane
* Click Keyboard Shortcuts
* Click the + button to add a new shortcut.
* Select QuarkXPress as the application.
* In the Menu Title field type "Place Name" exactly like that but without the quotes.
* Click inside the Shortcut field and type the key combination you want to use for this shortcut. I suggest using Command + one of the F keys, like Command+F1.
* Click Add.
* Close System Preferences
* Run Quark, open a document, and try it out!

How can I change text leading in Mail?

When pasting text into Mail from some other apps there is a significant formatting difference, particularly in that line spacing increases. I've tried first pasting the text into TextEdit and applying Plain Text formatting then copying that and repasting into Mail but no difference in result.
Are there any tools for formatting text in Mail, like changing leading?
If I can import that leading then surely Mail must be able to work on such formatting?
Many thanks in advance.
(Btw, the forum for Mail & Address Book failed to function so I put this post here).

Nevermind. I figured it out:
System Preferences > General > Sidebar Icon Size
BTW, that vivid neon blue for, most notably, radio buttons and arrows on pulldown menus, is really annoying.
I miss skeumorphism.

Change text colour based on text in another text box

I am playing around with data merge in CS6 to layour customised artwork and I'm stuck.
I have the data merge working no probs, bringing in the correct artwork and the names to go on the artwork. What I cannot seem to acheive is how to get the names to change colour based on the club field i have in my data set.
I have the following fields:
@design - brings in the artwork
name - bringing in the customers name to be printed on the artwork
club - brings in the club name
I presume I have to apply a paragraph style to the <<name>> field to get it to change colour, I cant work out how to use a GREP style to get it to change based on the <<club>> field though.
Any help would be much appricated or alternative ways to do this.
I have around 500 records to propcess on a weekly basis so being able to automate it would be a big help.

I think it can be done with GREP styles, though I'm very weak in GREP skills.
This this example has the club name before the player's name:
I burned out trying to recreate the successful example with the player name preceding the team name. I think it used a different lookaround method. Any suggestions are welcome.
One problem I'm stuck on is how to make the expression that captures the player's name work with one, two, three, or more names, like first, middle, last, esq., etc. Currently there needs to be the same number of word placeholders in the GREP expression as there are words in the player's name.
In this example, the bteam search fails. I moved it to another position in the GREP style dialog box, but no success. I created dteam to see if perhaps there was a limit to the number of searches. It succeeded when I deleted, then recreated, the bteam search.

Changing text colour

Hi,
How do i change the color of text when show connect & normal color when disconnect??

Turn on execution highlighting and I believe that you'll see that the problem is that the string 2 value is being updated after the colors are set. The colors will change as they should until the text changes, at which time the color of all the text changes back to the indicator's default text color. As I said in my earlier post, make sure the indicator updates before changing any of the colors and you should be fine.

Text Colour Changed when rectangle overlaps

Hi,
I need tips to change text colour in a paragraph when 2 rectangles ovelaps. Basically all texts in the paragraph is filled with black colour. 2 rectangles are placed below the text as background. One of the retangles is filled in dark blue and the other one is filled with yellow. How do I change some of the texts to white colour when dark blue rectangle touches them so that they will look noticeable? Thanks in advance.

David,
Here is an illustration of the instructions in post #2:
1) Create a copy of the Type in the back, but still over the dark blue rectangle, and change the Fill to white;
2) Create a copy of the dark blue rectangle, change the Fill to white, and move it on top of the original black type (stacking order);
3) Select the (now) white rectangle and the original black Type and Transparency>Opacity Mask>Make, ticking Invert Mask, but not Clip (unless this has changed in later versions, of course),
a) With the basic parts,
b) With the copies in 1) and 2) added,
c) With all the parts shown displaced to reveal the stacking order and to point out the two copies to be subject to the Opacity mask in 3),
d) Final appearance:
Remember: This is only one of the possible answers provided by members of the association.
Edit: I hope it is not too clownish to show a white rectangle on a white background; only the OP and OP follow up posts have a different colour.
Edit Edit: It is less clownish to add a grey background.

In ios7 is there a way to change the colour of a sent text?

Since upgrading to ios7 & on my iphone 5 the sent text messages in a conversation (my messages) are white on green and I don't find it that easy to read when I want to look back over a conversation. I tried making it bold in the Accessibility area of settings but that it no better. Inverting colours gives me a horrible purple. \does any one know if there is anyway I can make the text other than white - black on green would be fine.

Hello again, Helen,
While this doesn't actually change the colour of the mouse pointer, Mouse Locator does make it very easy to spot, even on a large display.
And it's freeware into the bargain!
