Creating a template, can't move txt boxes together

Wholesale
Value Line
When I move these two boxes together they merge together.

Then it sounds like the textboxes are inline, ie pasted into the text.
click on a textbox > Inspector > Wrap > Make Floating
If it is a Word Processing document, there are 2 kinds in the Template Chooser, the default text area (set by the margins) is as it says default and always on the page.
If you want it to be more like Indesign you are bound to be disappointed in one way or another, but you can try the Layout mode templates where everything is a floating object except the Headers and Footers.

Can't Move Text Boxes

I am trying to add mobile pages from my mobile site, but when I copy/paste the text boxes from the desktop version, then try to move them, Muse crashes. It also crashed when I created a new text box, added type, and tried to move that. Here is the error message that I received each time:
I have the latest version of Muse installed. I cannot move ANY boxes by clicking and dragging, but I can resize them. I have a ton of pages to do and can't spend the time nudging them or typing in values. I have no idea how to fix this, can anyone help?

Hi,
Could you please share your .muse file with us to investigate? Please email it to [email protected] If your file is greater than 20MB you can use something like Adobe SendNow or SendThisFile or Dropbox.

I can't move text boxes out of box at top of page

I am using the iWeb SEO program to optimize my site for search engines. In so doing I created my own hyperlinked page names in individual text boxes and then placed them at the very top of the page. The trouble is that they will not show up when I update the site and I cannot move them out of a box at the top of the page.
There is a thin, wide rectangle sitting atop a thin line that runs all the way across the page. I cannot delete that thin rectangular box and if I try to drag it down it hits the line and just pushes the line further down. The same thing happens if I grab any of my navigation boxes (Home, etc.) If I attempt to move them down than that thin line moves down as well pushing the rest of the content down as I go. How do I rescue my navigation boxes from this area and why in the world are they locked in there in the first place???????

Hold the command key to dag textboxes from one layer to another.
And the default navigation links are locked in the naviation layer by design.
To add your own custom navigation, have a look here :

Editing site created with template: can't see nav menu

This is potentially a stupendously dumb question but I have
never used DW templates before with editable/noneditable regions,
and I need a little guidance.
I am using DW8.
I am preparing an estimate to make some minor changes to a
website that was created using DW templates. I downloaded and saved
a few of the HTML files, the css file, the default.dwt file, and
the lbi files to my local drive so I could noodle around in there
and scope things out. The odd thing is that the navigational menu
is missing from the downloaded files. Will the answer be obvious
once I have access to the full directory of web files? I did see
code for an alternative menu for older and Mac browsers, and there
is js language instructing to "write menu to screen" if that helps.
Code for the dwt file is attached.
Thanks so much in advance

> and there is js language

then the menu is probably all or partly JavaScript.
Code for the dwt file is

Animation: how can I move objects (and their transform keyframes)?

Hi,
I have created a project with a group of layers which all move (have transform keyframes set up).
Now I want to move the group, but when I do this and then run the animation, the position of all the transform keyframes I have set up remain in the same place.
Is there some way to move a group of objects and the location of their transform keyframes at the same time, or will I have to go through each keyframe and move them individually?
Thanks!
Jack

You need to get some understanding of HTML and CSS to know
why building a
web page is not like using a page layout program or even a
word processor.
Unfortunately that will require some effort on your part.
You cannot just place things on the page in HTML - you need
to build an HTML
infrastructure to hold the elements you want to appear on the
page, and to
hold them in the location where you want them to appear. As a
simple
example, consider a 1 row by 2 column table, where each
column is set to 50%
width, and the table itself is 800px wide. An image placed
into the second
column will be located exactly 400px from the left margin of
the page
(assuming a) the image is less than 400px wide, b) the table
has zero
borders, cellspacing and cellpadding, and c) there is nothing
wider than
400px in the first column.
Make sense?

Can I move the sequence of yhe Pics in an album stored in revel?

I have saved pics in Revel and then created Albums. Can I move the swquence of pics in one of these Albums?
[email protected]

Within an Album I would like to be able to change the sequence. Now when I change a pic (ie) crop it in photoshop the date changes and that determines its place in the Album. I know I can change the date, but it would be better to move the pic by dragging it to the desired location in the Album.
Thank you for your interest!

Can I add specific text to Template via pop up text box on opening file?

In most word processors it is possible to create a template that asks you for specific text when you open it, so that you can have the letter three quarters written within the template, and only need to replace names, addresses, date and so on.
In Lotus WordPro for instance, before I even see the file, I have to fill in a dialogue box with the persons name, the subject of the letter, and four or five specifics unique to them. The WP then adds this info into the letter, and all I need do is to occasionally write a further full paragraph.
How do I do this in Pages? I can't seem to find anyway to do it at all. I have a suspicion I might need Apple Script, but I'm not sure how I can do that. I have a book of how to code, but I don't know where to store the macro, nor to write it yet - the book's just there if I need it.
I want to open the file, and then be asked one item at a time for the personalised answers to questions that occur in every report/letter.
Any ideas?
TIA
Mac

Thanks for your suggestions, Magnus, you really have had a good think for me - I appreciate that!
What I am doing is report writing in which 90% of the report is the same for everyone. Except the cover page with Name and Address details, and Report title; the initial section which is the same for everyone except for specifics such as amount to invest, reason for investment, term to invest over, things like that.
The end of the report is the recommendations section which is where I use freetext to create a bespoke solution - this cannot be automated.
Just automating the cover page and the intro section save me huge amounts of time which I can then use on research and fund analysis, leaving the principles of investment section pretty much the same for everyone, as here I'm describing the principle and theory.
After I created this Report Template my average report creation time went down from about 3 to 4 hours, to about 45 minutes. I guess the automation itself doesn't save as much time as the templating does, but it allows me to concentrate on the important bit and not worry if I have left something out - or in - that changes the overall thrust of the report.
I cannot load Lotus WorpPro on Parallels, nor on Virtual PC, so the lack of automation really is a pain here. I see it as a weakness of Apple products for business, as I am sure Microsoft do which is why they have dropped VBA support for Office 2008.
I have got NeoOffice as well as OpenOffice for Mac on my system, but really they aren't atable enough to use, and the formatting is pretty flaky. It certainly isn't completely consistent with Office itself.
So, I am left with the conclusion that progress only means a reduction in features!
But maybe I'm missing something?

Can't move objects or text boxes in indesign CS6

I'm using a Mac (10.8.5), CS6 InDesign, and today my move tool stopped working. Any object or text box I create I can't move with the selection tool/dragging it -- they'll move with the arrows on my keyboard. I tried resetting the preferences (cmd + opt + control + shift). Any other fixes?

The solutions in this thread may be helpful:
Suddenly can't drag objects... tried several potential solutions with no luck so far.

I can't move any objects or paste into text boxes on InDesign CS5.5

I have tried to move objects that I have placed or created in InDesign and can't move them at all. Also, I can't paste what text I have copied into a text box.
I'm using InDesign CS5.5 and on a Mac with OS X10.6.

Sounds like one of three things:
Objects are on the master page, Objects are locked and you haven't change the prefs to allow you to select them (but not move them), or objects are on a locked layer.

While creating master item, can I add a check to copy from template

Hi,
While creating master items, can I add a check on copy template on the item to ensure item is created using some template?
This will ensure many attributes gets proper value. If template is not copied, in later phases user faces problem with few attributes not being set.

Regarding the final PDF you produce with the Print button; when the user hits the Print button the usual printer dialogue box is launched and s/he can select which pages he wants to print and the number of copies. I think this is what you said this is what your customer wants.
Note: when you add the Print button, within the Acrobat Forms facility, you then go to Button Properties dialogue box and select Actions, select the trigger (i.e. On Mouse Down); Add an Execute a menu Item, click on Add and select File > Print from the drop-down list. A bit complicated to explain here, but easier enough if you have a play around with it. Acrobat Forms are a wonderful facility – well worth exploring the many things you can do with them. Especially if you set up your document first in InDesign!

Hi how can I move the main text in the "San Fransisco CV" up.
The name thats in the "box" as the "adress" ect, is easy to move up...
But the main text please...

David,
The various templates in Pages seem to have been designed by individuals without much guidance or mandate for standard approaches to layout. In a way, tha's good because you have a variety of philosophies to choose from.
The message is that you can't take what you learned here and assume that all the templates work this way. I answered your question by turning on the Layout View and looking at the Inspectors to see what controls had been used.
