Cmd  brings up dashboard, can I change it? I used to use it to change the text size in Pages

Upgraded to lion and all is good. However, cmd+ has been hyjacked by the OS to bring up the dashboard. I use cmd+ and cmd- to change the text size in Pages. Is there a way to change the Lion keyboard shortcuts to get the functionality back for Pages? The cmd- still works to reduce text size in Pages, so it's even more frustrating that cmd+ does something else.
thanks in advance

Well on my MBP running Lion 10.7.2 Command+ or - does not do anything, and that is using either Command+ or Command(+ shift)+. I do not have pages installed.
The point is that Command+ and Command- should control the text size in Pages (we're not talking about any othr program, just Pages). Those are hard-set (programmed in the software) keyboard commands for Pages.
In Pages, Command+ should increase the text size, and not bring up the Dashboard. And that is the OP's problem - that command is bringing up Dashboard, which it should not do. Apparently there is some setting somewhere that is causing Command+ to do the wrong thing - and that's what we're trying to find.
So at least on my MBP Command+ certainly does not bring up the Dashboard....
Good - it's not supposed to, nor is that what the OP wants.
By the way, if you use Safari and/or Mail, you'll find that Command+ and Command- adjust the text size in those programs. Ditto Numbers, TextEdit, Bean, and many other programs - it's a fairly common assignment, hence not one which usually needs to be added via Keyboard Shortcuts.

  • Changing the text size in Pages or Open Office with Automator.

    I have a question about the Automator software. I'm trying to change the size of the text in either Pages or Open Office. Present the text size is 10,5 and I would like to change this to 22. I wanted to ask whether this is possible and how I do this. This programme is very new to me. I have a German system and need to change hundreds of files. Many thanks.

    Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.

  • How can I make sure the text size on front panel will be adjusted by itself from PC to PC?

    In my VIs under VI Properties -- Window Size, I checked the two boxes:
     --Maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions
    --Scale all objects on front panel as the window resizes
    It seems that it worked for everything on front panel except the pure text wording that I put there for instruction purpose.  The size of those text stuff didn't get changed proportionally after my application was built and run on different machines so some of them got cut off and looked messy.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thanks very much!

    Hi Andrew,
    Thank you for looking at my problem!
    Both my development system and test system are Window XP. The font size are all set to Normal. What other details do you need to know?
    The text on front panel shows well on my development machine. But when the .exe runs on my test machine, the text size was not adjusted by itself so the text body got cut off.
    I found a way to "fix" this problem: I had to drag the text box down and right so there is enough magin between the text body and the box on the right and at the bottom. I had to try it a few times until it finally shows well on my test machine. However, with those magins, it doesn't look nice on my development machine anymore. Also, I only tried on one test machine, if it looks good on one test machine, will it look good on all the other machines? Eventually my app is going to run on Window 7. I'll have to test that out and find out if it's still going to be a problem. Anyway, I don't feel this is the right way to do it. I hope someone knows what I'm talking about and have a soluction to it.
    Thanks very much!

  • Using Firefox 8.0 on a MacBook Pro I can no longer enlarge the text on web pages by sliding apart two fingers. Why?

    I just downloaded Firefox 8.0.1. I have a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.8. In the past, I could easily enlarge text on a web page by sliding two fingers apart, or likewise, make the text smaller by pinching the fingers together. I can no longer do this with the latest version of Firefox. If I run Safari instead, I can still use this feature of the Mac. Is there a setting I need to change? Or is it a glitch in the new version of Firefox?

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4+ versions.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    * browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
    *Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

  • How to change the text size of a multicolumn listbox ?

    I would like to have all text in my multicolumn listbox biger and bold. I don't find anything with property node.

    Hi
    Use the Positioning tool to select the entire Multicolumn Listbox. Then use the Text Settings in the LabVIEW toolbar to change the font, style and so on. You will see that the font of all the items in your Multicolumn Listbox (including its label) are changed at once.
    If you want to change only one item, than you can use the Text tool.

  • Can anyone tell me how to increase the text size in my menu bar and drop down menus?

    Just bought a new 27" screen iMac.  The menu bar and drop down menu text is much to small for me to see without leaning close to the screen.  Does anyone know how to customize the text to a larger size.  This is an issue for any program I open.

    Once upon a time Apple displays packed in 72 dots to an inch (making their resolution 72 DPI). That meant that what we saw on screen at 100% scale was exactly what was printed on a printer - not to mention quite comfortable to read. However that advantage was eclipsed by the fact that photopgraphs and video were pixelated and the only solution to that was to increase the resolution - to pack in more dots per inch - which has the side effect of shrinking the size of text. Where I once used Word at 100% scale I now find it most comfortable at 150% scale.
    There are several solutions. One, as Lex gave you, was to reduce the resolution of the LCD display. But unlike CRT displays, an LCD is tuned to a specific resolution and when you change it the results tend to be blurry. Another is to keep the resolution as it is and to adjust each program (if the program allows it). This makes Word usable and your browser can be set to use no font smaller than a size you set (which has some unpleasant side affects at some Web sites), but some programs and some parts of programs cannot be changed. The menubar and menus are among them. The third solution is one that Apple promised several years ago but has not yet provided - a resolution independant GUI. We can only hope that comes soon. And there's another partial solution - look in System Preferences under Accessibility.

  • How do I change the text size in a PDF fillable form in Preview?

    I'm trying to fill out a PDF form I downloaded from my bank and would like to use Preview to fill out the form. No problem typing in each field until I got to where it asks for my e-mail address. My e-mail is too long for the form's provided area and I'd like to reduce the text I'm inputting into that field so it can fit. Before I do it with PhotoShop or just and inkpen, does anyone know of a way to selectivly reduce the font size of the text for a too-tiny-field? I've tried to open the fonts menu but it does not seem related to the fillable text field.

    Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options. 

  • Is there any way to change the text size in pdf documents

    Is it possible to change the font size and line spacing in Adobe Acrobat without zooming the whole page. Any help with that

    Text size with the Text Touchup Tool. Line spacing is a NO. What you want to do does not fall into the category of what PDFs are created to do. If you are just doing it for screen reading, use the zoom.

  • Can I make an InDesign CS4 .swf export scale depending on the open size of a browser?

    Hi there.  I would like to make my inDesign CS4 .swf file able to scale in accordance with the open size of a browser.  When I have used Flash previously changing the size of the document to 100% achieved this effect.  However, I'm not having much luck with this approach with my inDesign CS4 .swf export.  I'm loathe to export it as an XML file for Flash as I want to keep my fancy page turns. Any help would be very much appreciated.  I'm not very fluent in Flash-speak so I'd also appreciate it if anyone offering a solution could t-a-l-k r-e-a-l s-l-o-w.

    This is quite old thread, I don´t have those source codes anymore... besides many people still uses monitors with width of 1024, 1219px wide magazine would clip in those monitors, so I don´t suggest to use it without shrinking....
    Anyway, if you want to improve positioning of your SWF, you have at least two way to do it
    1) Go to free http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html and create a new html-wrapper for your project
    2) If that´s not enough or you want some extra features like zoom, print or search, go to http://www.edocker.com and download a free trial of eDocker.
