DW Extension issue: Lorem Ipsum Generator

Hello,
I'm having problem installing the Lorem Ipsum Generator for Dreamweaver.
I've installed it in the Extension Manager and relaunched Dw but I can't find
the palette wich allows me to use this extension anywhere.
I've unistalled and reinstalled it a couple of times through the Extension Manager
and relaunched Dw but it still doesn't work.
I see no icon in the Insert menu.
Any ideas?

Where exactly, do you have a link by chance? For some reason I just cant find it!

Remove Lorem Ipsum add-on

Keep geting "Uinstalling The Add-on Lorem Ipsum Generator failed Generator failed to remove
I don't want it installed, since it for an old version of Photoshop and i only have the latest version installed (Photoshop 2014 CC).
Tried to install it and uninstall it from https://creative.adobe.com/addons. To make the message go away !
The Add-on is not showing up in Adobe Extension Manager CC either.
Is there any way to remove this message ?

Contact Sheet is a welcome return. So many features can be adapted. I made this a few years ago by sizing up 40 images, and turning off titles, and ‘Flatten Layers’ when making the contact sheet. It was then fairly simple to FT each layer to give some overlap, and use Layer masks for creative affect.
It was eventually incorperated into a poster for the organisation running the event.
Some interesting JDIs (thanks so much for the typed list!).
The Eye dropper changes appeal to me, and Ctrl J now working on Groups is very welcome. Lots more there, but what worries me is that there are apparently twice as many new JDIs in CS6 as there were in CS5, which makes me think I must be missing a lot of the CS5 JDIs. is there a list somewhere?

Lorem Ipsum dans Dreamweaver CC

Bonjour,
je constate que plus aucune extension qui générait du faux texte dans Dreamwaver (Lorem Ipsum et Lorem and More) n'est compatible avec la dernière version (Dreamweaver CC).
Je pensais trouver une option de remplissage de texte de substitution comme c'est le cas dans InDesign, mais je ne trouve rien.
Que proposez-vous pour remplacer ces extensions qui étaient fort utiles?
Merci.

Does DW CC have built in Lorem Ipsum gererator ?

I am looking for Lorem ipsum for use in DW CC. I know that CC will not accept the previous versions extenstion but I need lorem ipsum and dont want to have to cut and paster from external source.

Hello,
maybe you can still use the DW "CS6" Extension Manager, so you could convert the extension to ZXP format. Now you can install and use it in "DW CC."

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet comes up on google search

I have created a new website using iWeb 2009 which has been uploaded successfuly. The Website's URL is: WWW.Sewingbug.net.
However, when doing a google search for Sewingbug.net
this comes up:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
sewingbug.net/ - Cached
Welcome to Sewing Bug~. Offering sewing lessons to children in the Aptos, California area. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ...
You've visited this page 3 times. Last visit: 8/10/11
Looking at a previous post on this site from 2007 with the same issue, I discovered that a text box with this template holder phrase was hiding behind a photo I placed on the website Welcome Page.
I deleted that text box and I have gone through the welcome page and deleted all of the text boxes templates that were on the page. There is no sign of a "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" on that welcome page.
I have published the site again but the problem persists. I still get the "Lorem......" when running a search with google as shown above.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks

Lorem ipsum feature

I read about the new lorem ipsum text generator, it's really a nice and helpful feature.
I saw on the youtube that it is found at Type -> "Paste Lorem ipsum"
but I found it Type -> "Lorem ipsum" only and I tried it many times but it didn't work
I'm using windows vista

I tried it by opening a New transparent layer and selecting the tool Text icon to make a text layer. Then opened a box to add type into the layer and then the lorem ipsum selection in Type Menu will allow you to paste the paragraph or what ever it is into your layer text box...You can then highlight the text and view it in what ever font, color or attribute you want..The paragraph is in Latin maybe?. I used wide Latin font here. Have fun with it... Hope my instructions were not too confusing.

How do i get lorem ipsum for dreamweaver cs5.5?

How do i get lorem ipsum for Dreamweaver cs 5.5?

Go to http://generator.lorem-ipsum.info/
and copy a few paragraphs of lorem-ipsum text.to you clipboard,
In DW, open your Snipppets panel and create a new snippet and paste your text in it and save it..

'Paste Lorem Ipsum' doesn't work.

I'm on the latest MacBook Pro, running Lion 10.7.3. Text tool works fine with text either that I type in directly or that I paste from the system clipboard, but Paste Lorem Ipsum doesn't work.

Heads up the Lorem ipsum stays in the book

I used a few photo gallery widgets in my book. But I didn't write descriptions of each picture. Just the first one in the gallery. Each picture you drag into the box shows up with the default Lorem ipsum text. I figured iBooks Author would know I didn't want that in the final version of my book, and didn't bother to delete it. Now I'm getting emails from people wondering why some of the descriptions are in a different language.
I'm not sure if there is a way to edit, and make changes once the book is in the store. Need to look into it I guess. Just wanted to post a warning in case someone else might make the same mistake.

Hallo,
yes, I also think that it is very annoying that this lorem ipsum text has to be deleted manually!
In the case of the gallery widget you can prevent this line for each photo if you select "same subtitle for all picures" in the inspector, widget, layout tab.

Dreamweaver content zeroed out - Lorem ipsum

I created content in dreamweaver. Do I use business catalyst to publish it? I am a CC subscriber. My subscription includes web hosing, is this Business Catalyst? Everytime I attempt to create a Business Catalyst site in Dreamweaver, it wants to overwrite my content with the Lorem ipsum content. When I manage to put content up, it is promptly zeroed out. What is the problem?

Hi Nancy,
Thank you for the information but I think I was not clear in my question.
It is my desire to create original content in Dreamweaver and publish it as I design it.
It is not my desire to use Business Catalyst but it is difficult to get information from Adobe about site hosting.
My Creative Cloud subscription allows me to host 5 web sites on Adobe but it is not clear how to use that aspect of my subscription. Adobe support does not appear to understand anything about this and refers me to Business Catalyst. For this reason, I ask "Do I have to use Business Catalyst?"
My desire is to create content in Dreamweaver. I would love to have an FTP account that allows me to put my Dreamweaver content up some of my 5 hostings that come with my Creative Cloud subscription. Adobe cannot tell me how to do that.
Dreamweaver has a button to create a Business Catalyst site. When I do this, a test site is created that contains Lorem ipsum placeholder content in a structured site. I want to create my own in Dreamweaver. If I am not careful, Dreamweaver will download this placeholder content and overwrite my content on my computer. I have lost work this way and now create a backup before risking letting Dreamweaver and Business Catalyst do their thing on my computer.
When I do manage to push content up to my test site, the content is promptly zeroed (the file sized change to zero and my content is lost).
Is there a way to talk to someone at Adobe that understands their web hosting?
Any help?
Thank you.

When I click the Sections button then click on the 1st page I get a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"! Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it. I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back.

In Pages when I click the 'Sections' button then click on the 1st page I get a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"! Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it? I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back. It is a full page in some unknown language. The only thing I can decifer is 'cupy uf cak'. Rdal

Roger,
The icon is +Sections, not just Sections, as in "Add a Section". When you click that icon you get a section break and and a new section template, complete with preformatted text called placeholder text. The reason "Lorem ipsum" is there is so you can see what the format looks like. The reason that it is Latin gibberish is so you won't get hung up on, or distracted by, what it says. It's just a display of format. Select the "Lorem ipsum" text and start typing your content.

"Lorem ipsum"-izer script to make your documents make less sense

I made some newspaper mock-ups and needed to change the text of existing pages into lorem-ipsum nonsense, while keeping the formatting and amount of text the same. So I made this scripts. It will change any words in the current selection into nonsense.
It's a bit slow because it loops through every single word in the selection and changes it into latin-sounding words with the same number of characters, and then adds or subtracts some letters to make sure the text is pretty much the same number of lines in the end.
I have only tested it with CS3.

Thank you Haakenlid, exactly what I needed now.

Add placeholder text / Lorem ipsum

Does anyone know how to add placeholder text in Illustrator? I know it can be done in ID, but I haven't been able to find it in Illustrator. I know I could copy & paste, but I'd like to see if there's a better route. I checked scripting forums as well, but was unable to find anything. Thanks!

I have a big snippet of placeholder text in TextExpander.
When I want a load of Lorem Ipsum, I just type
lorips and the following text pops into place in front of the flashing text cursor, in any app:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nullam ornare dictum ligula. Maecenas elementum suscipit nisl. Cras imperdiet leo ac felis dictum luctus. Pellentesque odio nisi, accumsan nec, scelerisque sed, consectetuer nec, justo. Sed tortor sapien, suscipit id, pulvinar vel, elementum id, lorem. Nullam consectetuer risus sit amet nibh.
