Editing Text in new Pages

I have seen several posts about this, but no response yet that solves the issue for me. Creating a text box is easy, but once I click outside the box, somehow the box locks (it doesn't show "locked" in the format area) and there doesn't seem to be any way to place the curser back within the text. Right click shows a greyed out "align front/back" and left click shows the outline of the box. Editing text should be the easiest thing in any software to intuit, and I just can't figure this out. Please help!

Ok, I figured it out after fooling around with this for waaay too long. It seems that a triple click inserts the curser. Of course, like any triple click--sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't (all about perfect timing), which forces the user to spend a lot more energy than necessary on what should be the most simple of tasks. Very frustrating. If any of the developers are reading--please, this needs some serious rethinking.

Anyone having problems editing text on wiki pages in Workspace?

I have had some serious issues when editing text on new wiki pages in my new Beehive workspace. First when I tried creating bulleted lists (with several or more items), after publishing the lists the text would all get tossed to the bottom of the page after publishing. Then I gingerly recreated the bulleted lists by running all the text together, then pressing Enter at the start of teach list item. This worked with some effort. But then when I tried editing my lists to update the information, the cursor would inadvertently jump to another place in the page, select some text, then my next keystroke would delete it. Even then, once I recreated all the information on the page, when published some of the text did not show up in the published version (it was still there in the editor).
When I recreated the text and lists in Word files, then copied and pasted it into new wiki pages on workspace, the formatting transferred OK. But editing still creates problems. The Undo button will clearly cause problems, so I stopped using that, but I still am having serious editing issues. Any help appreciated.

I just started using the Wiki pages and what I need at the time are some sortable tables (only limited need for bullets at the time). I am having an incredibly frustrating time using the "advanced" tables. I use both the Rich Text Editor and Wiki Markup screens to do this. The interface is incredibly buggy! As you metioned, you can get things just so in the WYSIWYG editing tool and it is completely messed up when published. In my case just switching between Rich Text Editor and Wiki Markup (without doing anything) messes things up! And if you want sortable columns, you had better not make them links, as the columns sort on the invisible URLs...
I can only hope that the engine under the hood of this product is more reliable. I certainly expected more from Oracle...

Cannot edit text in Master Page

I don't work in InDesign often. I had created a template file for a book back in December of 2011 (originally created in CS3). I opened this file in CS6 today and did a Save As. Now it's time to edit a few things to customize it for this new book. So, I went into the Master Pages to tweak some things. But, I can't edit any text. I can click on some photos (not all), but no text is selectable or editable. What in the world has happened to my file?
I also went back to the final files for the book I did in December (not the template file, the actual working files). Those give me the same behavior. Text that should have been editable is not even selectable. Again, some photos can be selected and moved, etc. but no text/text boxes.
Is there some conversion that takes place opening a CS3 file in CS6 that is causing this to happen? How do I fix it?
Thanks,
Matt Tyree

The corrupted ID CS2 document has now been rebuilt using tagged text conversions, and is now only 3Mb, with .INX > .INDD conversions appearing to reducing the .INDD file size, rather than bloating each time.
However, the Acrobat X Pro 'Compare Documents' feature is less helpful than before (v6 Pro), e.g. showing spurious differences such as:
[Old text]: "personally-addressed"
[New text]: "personally-addressed"
and oddities like (perhaps flagging ID tagged text problems):
[Old text]: " METHODOLOGY"
[New text]: " MetHoDoLoGY"
[Old text]: " [?993 ]"
[New text]: " [?993]"
? = 'box corner' symbol. As this unanswered forum poster from 2011 says, 'Compare Documents' is too sensitive:

Cannot edit text in menu page

I cut and pasted from a pdf to a menu page. I want to work with the font to make it more readable, but I can no longer select the text. What did I do wrong? I can't edit in Encore or Photoshop. I can select the layer, but not the text.
I am trying to reproduce the page by duplicating it and adding the text again, but I cannot figure out how I got it there in the first place (to appear as it did in the pdf) It keeps pasting as an oversized text block in one column.
In other words, How do I edit text that has been pasted onto a menu page? Seems it keeps wanting to create another text layer - in Photoshop as well

In the previous print screen, the layer icon has a paintbrush in it. In the new menu page I cut and pasted the text is still 'text' layer. I am not able to format it other than change font color. I want to make it two columns of text like the original pdf, and change the font.

Problem editing text color and page properties due to favicon link

I recently added a link to a sites favicon using the link tag. Following advice on the net this was added beneath the HTML tag and before the HEAD tag. I was using a Dreamweaver template for the site and it updated all pages with the new link in the non-editable area above HEAD and just after the template declaration.
This was fine, unitl the user went to edit the site. He found that he could no longer get to page properties as he got an error that no page properties existed in editable areas... although there was an editable region for the page title. Also text color and highlighting were now disabled.
Moving the link tag into the head area has resolved the editing issue, but it seems a strange bug. Is there some way to add something between HTML and HEAD and have it appear before the InstanceBegin of the template?

You can edit text in any PDF by using trial version but as for as my knowledge and limited experience with Adobe I could not find any text color option in Adobe Acrobat. But you can highlight text in Adobe Acrobat. If you want to change the text color in PDF, I would like to recommend some another software which allows you to change the color of text and is available for download here.
Let me tell you how can change text color using this software. Open PDF file > go to "edit tab" > Click "edit" then highlight text to change the color. As you can see in the below screenshot.
Free free to ask. Hope it helps you. Don't forget to come back to share your views.

How to put image behind text on new pages?

Hey I usually drag photos into my pages doc and then write text over them by selecting "place object in background" or whatever it was. I do that to make flyers and tourbooks. On the new pages it is not clear to me how to do this.

Due the rewrite of Pages v5, about 100 features and functionality are missing from the prior release of Pages, the original that now resides in your /Applications/iWork '09 folder. My recommendation is to use the older, but more functional Pages ’09 v4.3.
If you want text to flow over a background image in Pages v5, do the following:
Under the Format panel Arrange tab, set Text Wrap to None.
Drop your image in your document and position it where you want. Even opaquely over existing text.
Menu > Arrange > Section Masters
Select Move Object to Section Master
Make Master Objects Selectable
Immediately, your image is now in the background with yellow grips, and any existing text is above it. At any time, you can move or resize that image behind the text.
Still suggest you retreat to the older Pages though.

Editing objects creates new page

I am working in ALCD 8.0. When I attempt to edit an object in any sort of way a new page is created in front of the page I am working on and I am unable to delete it. I have tried copying and pasting into a new document but that no longer works. Any help would be appreciated.

>is anyone else experiencing this?
Not me.
Do you have any strange (non alphanumeric) characters in the path or filename? These are accented latin, unicode stuff (non-roman letters), slashes, colons, etc.
You can potentially fix it by right clicking (or control clicking if you have a one-button mouse/trackpad) on one of the 2008 folders and hitting "Add parent folder"

How to auto format text with new Pages?

I lost my 'auto format' of fractions with the new version of Pages. Before I would type "1/2" and it would appear as "½". Where is that feature located in the new version of Pages?

You can load these manually through System Preferences>Keyboard>Text in conjunction with the relevant characters that can be found using Character Viewer (use the search window in Character Viewer to find "half" etc.) Cumbersome I know but it is a one time set up.

Can the default text in new Pages documents be changed? if so how?

Can I change the default font style in Pages? If so how? I want all documents I wish to create to open in a new font.

Hi Sheila,
Open a new blank document from Template Chooser. Set the font and anything else you want as your standard, then File > Save As Template.
Then in Pages > Preferences > General > For new documents > Use Template > Choose
Then when you open Pages from the Dock (or LaunchPad if your system has that) you will get a blank document based on that template. Same when you go to File > New (command n)
Regards,
Ian.

Problem with new page triggering in ADOBE Forms

Hi all,
             I am workin on a Purchase Order adobe form. I have a requirement to dispay Other stipulation text after completion of all the information. The text should be displayed on a fresh new page. I can able to display the text on new page, but if the text is not there then its displaying a blank page. How to avoid this blank page.
Can anybody please help to solve this issue
                      Thanks.
                      Ranganadh.

It is because you are calling a NEW-PAGE in the main window and you have not mentioned which should be the next page. For that you need to Go to SE71==> Pages==>Standard Attributes==> Mention the <b>Next page</b>
Assign the same for both the pages !

I cannot edit text in a PDF created from scanning

I am using Adobe XI, and I have created a PDF by scanning a document.
When I do click on a paragraph to edit text, all the page appears selected, it seems to be an image. At that moment a message pops up saying: this page has not editable text or digitalized content. The editing tools are disabled, so I cannot edit text.
If I do export a page to Excel or Word, I can edit text there, although there are some kind of data that is not converted properly (even when I have executed OCR).
I have edited preferences, but I am not sure if I did it correctly.
Thanks

I am using Acrobat XI Pro on PC.
Of course, I have done all the steps you mention, but I wanted someone to confirm me if these setting values are correct in order to obtain the best results. I repeat the paragraph of my previous discussion that I want to clarify, just in case some of you can help me, mainly about optimization
I digitalized the document from the scanner. This scanner is installed in the net, so I personalized the settings in Acrobat and I chose memory mode instead of native mode.
Mode color: black on white
Resolution: 600 ppp
As you say in your mail, I understand I should choose ClearScan OCR not searchable just at this moment.
Well, and what about the options of optimization?, JBIG2 (without lost)?, 4 CCITT?
And filters?, I have: activated, low, activated, medium
Are these values congruous or compatible?
Thank you

New Page command not working in SMARTFORM

I have a text file in an internal table of type TSFTEXT. I'm passing this internal table to my smartform. The smart form has 1 page, 1 main windo and 1 text element. The text has a text type of "Dynamic Text" and a fieldname = <<internal table of type TSFTEXT>>. The start property = "New Paragraph".
In the internal table (TSFTEXT), i have a few NEW-PAGE commands. These seem to be ignored. How can I force the smartform to create a new page. Here is what the internal table looks like.
/ here is some text 1
/ here is some text 2
/ here is some text 3
/ here is some text 4
/ here is some text 5
/:NEW-PAGE
/ here is some text 6
/ here is some text 7
/ here is some text 8
/ here is some text 9
/ here is some text 10
Thank you,

As far as I know, NEW_PAGE is not applicable in smartforms. That only applies to Sapscripts. As you stated in your requirement, to have a new-page in smartform, try to adjust the height of the main window. Once the records on the internal table reaches the total height, then it will automatically create a new page...

Hi,
I think there is no way to do this, atleast for Adobe Designer v.7.0. But if you know XML or java scripting you can try that. I dont have much knowledge on it.
   However there is one way. Add dummy records in the table so that there are mulitple of 50 records for each employee. I have also heard that adobe designer 7.1 has some extra options. Please try that if possible.
Please let me know too if you find anything out. It will help me too..

Create a new page in Text Edit?

I know Text Edit has limited functionality but I havent been able to find any tutorials or basic information on Text Edit and eventually I may get Pages or Word for Mac, but for right now, I dont really need anything fancy so I'm hoping Text Edit will work. Im thinking there's no reason you couldn't do a resume even on here - although I think Pages has pre-done layouts which would make it look a lot prettier.
Anyway, simple Text Edit question: Is there just a way to create a new page - basically a page break like you did in Microsoft Word on a PC where you would hit control+enter. Im assuming there should be as that seems like a pretty basic function.
Also if anyone uses Text Edit regularly, can you tell me what are the basic things it can and cannot do...what do you need Pages (Or word for mac) for and for what will Text Edit suffice. (I assume, for example, that Text Edit is not going to allow you to automatically do page numbers while Pages will)
