Does a text box for an ebook have to be the exact size?

I'm using Indesign to create an ebook. The usable, non-bordered area of each page is 800 x 600.
For each page I use the Type Tool button to allow me to create a text box that fills the page area of 800 x600 pixels. I go to great effort to make sure it is aligned perfectly and exactly the right size. I have slight muscular problems in my hands which makes them unsteady so I sometimes don't draw the box exactly the same size and have to undo it and start again a few times. It would be easier for me if I didn't have to be so precise.
My question is if I used the Type Tool to draw a Text box that is bigger than the 800x600 page would this have repurcussions in how the ebook functions or displays or does it not make any difference?

I've not been using Master Pages.
I'm using Indesign to create an ebook which I will output an epub file.
I set the page dimensions then I have been adding a page as I progress and then using the Type Tool to create a text box for each new page.
So when you say 'ePub has no exact size predefined by the layouter it is like xhtml.' does this mean the text box size doesn't matter?

Default gutter width for drawing text boxes for overset text

I have master pages that were created with columns and the correct gutter width we want. When I drag a story from a window (a window that is part of our CMS) and place it on the page, the gutters between the text columns are correct -- p9 (or 0.125 inches). But if I draw a new text box or if I click the red plus to draw a text box for overset text, the gutter is a full pica (or 0.1667 inches).
I want any text box that is drawn on the page or any overset text box that is drawn to default to p9 for gutters.
I don't want to manually change the gutter for every new text box I draw.
I'm using ID with CS4.
Thank you.

The default gutter in a multi-column frame is set in the object style under Text Frame General Options. If you haven't defined any new styles you only need to edit the [Basic Text Frame] style. New frames will use the new gutter value when you add columns. If you have object styles for other text frames, you'll need to edit those, too. For existing frames, if the number of columns has been changed manually, you will need to reset the gutter.

Hello, I have an otter box for my iPhone 4s and recently the rubber schell has become loose and a little flappy. A lot of my friends have told me that the otter box breaks the lock button on the iPhone and sure enough it has happened to me. It's as if the lock button is frozen in place and won't click down. Can I return this phone for a new one? my biggest fear is that I'll have to go a couple of weeks with out a phone while I wait for my new one.. And with regards to otter boxes, should I stay away from them to prevent future issues like this from happening again?
Thank you for your help!

"Can I return this phone for a new one? "
Do you mean "can I get a new iPhone for free?" Nope.
Do you mean "since Applecare does not cover accidental damage, can I get a replacment iPhone, for around $250?" Yes.

When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it. I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.
thanks,

Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

Thanks for you reply.
But actually I don't want to show the \ (backslashes) to the user in my text box.
Ok let me elaborate this problem little more.
I want to show my text box as it is in normal editors e.g. In Matlab editor. There is a text box and on left side the gray bar shows the line numbers corresponding to the text. Further more i want that the user should be able to click on any line number to mark specific line as breakpoint (red circle or any graphical indication for mark).

You said "The messages i received when i did not have signal are not showing up."
How do you know received them?
If the sender got a message that the Messagers were not delivered than they were never delivered and the only way for you to get them is for the sender to resent them

Text Box issue - displays XML tag instead of the value in EBS

I need to use a textbox (or a autoshape with text) to place a data element in a specific position on the page in an RTF template. I tried using tables and it didn't help. This layout needs some elements to be placed at specific location and using an autoshape or a text box is easy. When I preview the pdf output on my desktop, it works fine. Once I upload the template into EBS XML Publisher, the value in the text box shows up as an XML Tag instead of the value in that tag. The same XML data when loaded and previewed locally shows the data instead of the tag.
Any thoughts on this? Is there a patch or something we might need for this in EBS?
Thanks,
Vinay

Thanks Tim for the quick response.
Yes - the versions are same. Also, I tried giving the complete path. The issue is that it is not even reading the text in the text box as an XML tag. It seems to think the whole text box is an object and hence just display that text as is. If it was reading and not able to resolve it, I guess it would have displayed blank (and not the tag as is). Again as I mentioned it works fine in local preview on my machine.

Is there a way to either run a "Score" thing in Keynote, or a text box that can be typed in during the presentation?

Keynote does not have this function.
The only way to do this is to use an annotation application. Google and find the cost and functionality you need, many have trial downloads.

I am trying to fit information in a text box. Is there way to move the information further up. There is a lot of wasted space on the top.

When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.
