Design view greyed out

Hello
I have this css file and i can only view the code, when I try to click on the design view its greyed out. This wasnt the case last week when I could view it fine. Can anyone help me? Thanks

There is nothing to see in design view in a css file, it is always grayed out. Perhaps you were working with embedded css instead of a css file.

Sudden Change to Slide Show Display/Presenter View Greyed Out

Two weeks ago powerpoint was acting normally. I would come into class, hook my netbook up to the projector, set my monitor output option to extended desktop and start my slideshow in presenter view. This morning I went into class and I was unable to use
presenter view. It was greyed out. I had to clone the displays and wing it without my notes. Also, the slideshow itself *looked* different. There was an orange menu bar at the bottom that I could not get rid of. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Michelle,
Do you mean the "Use Presenter View" option under "SLIDE SHOW" tab on the ribbon is greyed out for you?
When you are in the "Slide Show" mode, please try to right click on the slide and see if you can select the "Show Presenter View" from the context menu.
Have you ever made any changes to your computer recently? You might want to try installing any required updates, including updating your graphic card driver to the latest version, then try again.
"There was an orange menu bar at the bottom..." - Is it possible to share a screenshot of it with us? You can send the file to this email account:
[email protected] and inform us here (the email subject should be the link of this thread).

DW-CS3 / Split/Design View grayed out

In Dreamweaver CS3 (9.0.3453), when starting a new site, only
the CODE preview button is available - Split/Design views are
grayed out.
Also, everything in the submenu under View > Visual Aids
is also gray
Also, Refresh Design View is gray.
I'm a visual kinda guy, and haven't been able to find a fix
via Google.
NOTE: Everything was ok when first loading, then blew out.
Haven't been able to fix, and reinstalling doesn't work (I use Revo
Uninstaller to totally remove, so as to get a clean install -
nothing)
Many thanx for any help.

I think it is probably the type of document you are creating,
for example if
you go to open a javascript or xml or css document, it goes
to code and
grays out the disign and split views. So you might be opening
the wrong type
of document.

Design view grayed out

Hi
Design view is grayed out for build 13875 on a large project. When a component is dragged in, a white circle with a diagonal line appears (can't put it here indication). Design view is visible and works well on small projects, like button skins. Clicking the refresh button doesn't bring back design view. It's a drag working blind. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks for reading.

Design view is out of whack

I was working on Dreamweaver CS3 a couple of days ago and all
of a sudden (I'm pretty sure I pressed something) the design-view
went weird. I usual work in split view to see the coding and design
simultaneously. Now, the design view displays the given page I am
working on differently than how it would be seen in a browser.
For example, I have my home page, which shows a title and
four text links to the left of a centered image. However, in the
design view mode, it is shown as everything being aligned to the
left. The title, then the image, and then the four links.
I'm sure this could be easily reversed if I only knew what I
had pressed to make it this way. Please let me know if you can
help. Thank you!

> However, in the design view mode, it is shown as
> everything being aligned to the left.
That's an indication that a link to an external css
stylesheet is broken, or
that displaying CSS is turned off.
Look in the View menu under the CSS section, it's probably
set to not
display css.

Print current view greyed out in Acrobat 9.4.1

I can't select Print current view for some reason. I tried selecting different printers but am unable to select this option. I saw an earlier post that said take the cursor off of page navigation, but I've done that (and don't even have page navigation open) but still cannot select "current view" print.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I figured out that if I zoom to an area 1 page or smaller the "current view" print is available.
What I'm trying to do is print the bottom 1/3 of one page and the top 1/2 of the next page. Apparently if the view spans 2 or more pages the current view print option is unavailable.
Is there a way to do what I want (print 1/2 of the bottom of page 2 and top 1/2 of page 3)?

VS 2012 report project query designer greyed out

The graphical editor stopped working while editting a report project dataset. Now it shows all the button greyed out. It now only works in "Edit as Text" mode. I can't seem to find a fix.

My 'Design View' has stopped working in CS5. How can I get it functioning again?

I've looked through the existing topics and couldn't find an answer.
I hadn't made anything in DreamweaverCS5 for a a few months, but when I went today to create a new HTML document, I couldn't do anything in 'Design View' . I have not changed anything with the program at all. I still checked Edit>Preferences>File Types/Editors and .html is not listed for 'Code View'. The 'Split' and 'Design View' buttons are clickable, but when I click in 'Design View' the Properties Inspector grays out. I also can't type anything into the field. There are two icons at the top, one for the meta tag and the other for the title tag in the 'Code View'.
I haven't the slightest idea as to why this is no longer working. This has never happened before. I did nothing but create a blank document. I'm on a PC. Any help with this would be extremely appreciated.

And just like that, I figured it out.
For some reason, the 'head content' had overtaken the 'Design View'. I clicked the down pointing arrow on the grayed out Properties Inspector just to try something else, and also to see what was hidden. When I did that, the top part of the 'Design View' peeked out a little from under the 'head content' area. I enlarged the 'Design View' field and realized what was going on. I still have no idea why that happened on it's own since I've never enlarged the view for 'head content' before. I actually usually don't have it enabled. I guess it's like a lot of people complain, Design View is quite buggy.

Design view inop DW CS3

Design view grayed out, inaccessable. The file has an HTML
extenstion. Files I had previously been able to use Design View on,
Design View no longer works. I suspect I inadvertantly turned it
off, but how?

Problem resolved by renaming file extention from HTML to HTM
- Why in Wilbur's name this fixed the problem, I haven't a clue.

Why is the column browser greyed out when viewing iPod music?

Hello,
I can not display the "column browser" for my iPod Touch, like I can for my iTunes Music Library (iTunes for Windows)
To confirm we're on the same page: the column browser is the specific display/view with "Artists" and "Albums" filters (and optionally 'Genres" , "Composers" and a few other not-so-useful options) in Columns at the top of the screen: selecting different combinations allows you to easily filter the "results" panel below, which displays all the individual songs that match those filters.
I have seen other questions on how to display the column browser, which relate more to the iTunes Library Music, opposed to the iPod touch music. (FYI the fix for the Library is to click "songs" and then the option for column browsing is available in "View/Column Browser/Show Column Browser")
If i display the sidebar, and select 'Music' under my iPod Touch, it just displays ALL songs. The option for "show column browser" is greyed out and not selectable. If i hige the sidebar, and click "Music" in the top left column under the name of my iPod, i get the same view. If i click "Music" from the big centered bar at the top of iTunes (but below the standard File/Edit menubar) this just shows my Sync options...
So question is: How do I display the column browser for my iPod music?
If i can't, question is: Why did you hide this feature and can you please bring it back?
And a general comment: Please let the brilliant Jony Ive loose on the iTunes design ASAP: it desperately needs a designer's eye to make this interface more intuitive. There are about 5 incongruous button/menu themes utilised at different places, and none of them are particularly well thought out. I'm a student of the school of thought where you can (if needed) utilise a few different interface design styles on one application to suit different users and different scenarious: but they need a talented designer to harmonise. The current iTunes is like years of changes piled on top of each other with no clear direction. Not an enjoyable experience!

Hello,
All outputs from the SCXI module are measured in differential mode. You can still mix differential and single ended measurements (if you use the remaining channels of your daq board).
The easiest way to mix modes is with virtual channels. All SCXI analog input channels will be differential, while you can make other virtual channels differential or single ended. If you don't want to use virtual channels, you can use AI Hardware Config in LabVIEW to change the mode.
Hope this helps. Regards,

Data View and Data Source buttons Greyed out

I have Site Admin permissions on an On Prem SharePoint 2013 site.
In SharePoint Designer 2013 the Data View and Data Source buttons are greyed out.
Can anyone shed some light as to why this is occurring?

Hi grantzre,
Could you provide a screenshot about the location you want to insert the Data View web part and Data Source?
I think you may put the mouse cursor in the incorrect place to add the data view web part, please try putting the cursor before the tag </ZoneTemplate> and see if "Data View" button is enabled, then you can insert an empty
dataview web part and then insert the data source in tag <DataSources> by clicking ribbon button "Data Source" (also click the ribbon button "Parse HTML" of the page if needed).
Thanks

Design window - all panels greyed out (CC)

Hi.
Just using the trial version of DW CC, and liking it so far!
I'm using Split, and when I go to make a link in Design, the Properties box below is greyed out (as is the Insert panel). The only option left is to actually highlight the text in the Code panel and insert a link.
I've seen tuts where people are able to highlight in Design and place a link, etc. What gives?

Do you have Live View active?
You can't edit from the Live View window, if you turn it off, you should have access to those panels again.

"Arrange by..." options are greyed out in Finder's List View.

Hey there, just a quick one...
I'm having trouble arranging my files/folders by Name, Date Modified, Size etc when in List View. This is fine in my regular Finder window but I clearly remember being able to do when (for example) Saving, Opening and all other popup Finder windows in earlier versions of OS X.
I should also say that I do have TotalFinder installed but I believe it was a problem even without it installed.
Here's a pic to demonstrate what I mean. In normal Finder windows there is a little drop down arrow when you hover, making each catagory a button essentially. This is what it looks like when I'm trying to Open, Save As or something similar... Greyed out, essentially. Problem highlighted in yellow.
Any ideas, suggestions or general help you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Could it be just somethign as similar as a System Preferences option or even holding down a key etc? Cheers.

Click the Arrange button on the toolbar and select the desired option.

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
