Editing text in the blank composite target box?

I am having a very hard time editing text inside the composite target box. Sometimes it moves outside the target box and operates as a static text box. The target box itself shows/hides correctly though the text is not part of it. 
I am unable to use the blank composite widget to place grahics and text boxes inside the target box. 
There has to be a subtle principle I do not grasp yet.
Clues or help is apprecaited.
Jim

Hi Jim
If you have placed the text inside target then it should work fine. It may be a chance that the text frame is not inside the target but on it.
You can check that , if the text frame is inside target then you would get the interface option for text frame ( small blue circle ). But if the text frame is simply placed on the target then you wont get that interface option when you click text frame.
Thanks,
Sanjit

  • How to edit text in the yellow text box of a URL-link?

    Hey guys!
    I´m currently working on a website in Iweb.
    My current challenge is the following:
    - I´ve made a marked text a hyperlink. But when I rollover it, a yellow text box appears and shows the entire URL.
    Now, I want it to show a custom edit text.
    example:
    the link is: www.domainpage.com/home/subfolder/page1234/sweet.html.
    the yellow text box SHOULD SAY (example):
    "Sweet" tattoo
    How do I rename the text in the yellow box?

    This is a screenshot of what text boxes affect the page title.
    If you can't change the necessary text box to reflect the title you want you can add the title via an HTML snippet and the following code:
    <script type='text/javascript'>
    parent.document.title = "PAGE NAME TO SHOW IN BROWSER TAB/BAR";
    </script>
    Apply the code via snippet to each page you want to change the name to.

  • Using the Blank Composition Widget

    Hey guys,
    I'd like to know if it's possible (and how) to configure the Blank Composition Widget to show only the new blog posts, let's say five that would update automatically as I would add more to the BC Blog, without the need to go into Muse and constant updating.
    Thank U so much.
    The one who answers this will be a lifesafer

    Hi im8,
    You can refer to the following link for a jam session, its on integrating a blog from BC. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/muse-advanced-cms-integration/

    You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:

    In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

  • InDesign becomes unresponsive when editing text off the network. Techs are flummoxed!

    Recently my InDesign (CS6 running on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, 8gb ram) has become almost totally unresponsive when I go to open and edit a file off the company network. Our techs have no idea what is going on and are considering having to re-build my profile as a last resort as we have tried everything else.
    A bit more of a descriptoin of the problem: When I go to edit an InDesign file off the server it first takes longer than normal to load but eventually does. You can scroll up and down the pages, move and resize boxes, place new pictures but as soon as you try to do anything text based (edit new text or make a new text box) the whole program freezes to the point you have to task manager out and kill it. It is not a corupt file because if I copy the file directory with all links over on to my computers local hard disk the file works totally fine it is only when editing over the network and when edouble clicking to edit text.
    What we have done to try and fix the problem:
    Reinstal InDesign - No effect
    Cleared the preferences (shift + ctrl + alt + windows key on InDesign startup) - No effect
    Our techs have tried editing my profile registry to no avail and we are all compleatly at a loss to what is going on. There are several other instances of the program across the company (mainly versions 5.5 and one other 6) and they all work fine editing files straight off the network.
    Anyone have any idea what it could be, such a specific problem being only when it is editing text based areas? The techs dont want to have to re-build my profile as it is a lot of back end work to do to be able to re-instate it straight away.
    Many thanks in advance for any insights into the issue

    So we have finally fixed the issue and are currently cracking out the bubbly!
    It turned out to be the network path shotcut I was using to access the shared drive where I was editing the files from. I work for a restaurant so we have a shared drive where each site can access their files, this is where the food menu files reside and I had created a shortcut that, although accessed the correct area did it using a path which had a double backslash in it.
    The true path for the shared drive is  \\hm\mydocs\restaurant\menufile.indd and this is the shortcut I was using to open the file up from. For all other files like Word, Excel, even other Adobe programs like PSE10, and Lightroom it seems to work fine. For some reason InDesign does not like this path with the double backslash in. As soon as I changed the shortcut path to just m:\ (the letter of the shared drive on the network) everything was working again and we can all sleep, it was driving us mental. Re-installed windows, InDesign created a new network user profile the works.
    I hope this may help someone else in a similar situation in the future

  • Is it possible to deep link into the Blank Composition widget?

    I would like to link to a page that contains a Blank Composition and have the 3rd item selected by default. Is this possible?

    It is not possible to directly target a specific slide/item in a widget using a hyperlink. Everytime you pull up a page in the browser, any widgets on the page display the first slide of the widget.

  • Can my client add a link when editing text with the content management of Business Catalyst?

    I created a site using Muse. My client chose to host with BC and take advantage of the content management option. She has edited text to include her email and wants to create a hyperlink from that text to her actual email. Is this possible and if so, do I need to change the user Permissions to allow her to do this?

    Yes, she is editing content in the admin panel, but when she edits the text, she just gets the option to change text and update. There is not a button for hyperlink and then email. It seems like linking, something so simple, should be allowed. What do I need to do to allow this to happen for her?

  • Vertically-aligned tables shift down when entering/editing text within the table.

    Hi all,
    We have a sudden problem that is occurring, and I've done a lot of searching without finding anything close to this happening elsewhere.
    If there is ever a table that is aligned vertically within a text frame, you cannot edit the text without having it shift down one line break for every letter you type, until it's bottom-aligned within the frame. You can then click "align center", and it will re-align itself. Then, if/when you need to change even one letter again inside the table, it will shift down one line.
    We've tested it with two different docs on both Mac and PC, with the same problem. I've cleared my prefs on the Mac to see if that would make a difference, and it hasn't done anything.
    Any thoughts here? I can't recall anything that would have changed since this started happening, but it won't leave us alone now!
    Thanks!!

    Very interesting. I do lots of tables but don't vertically justify so I have never run into this. However I can confirm this behavior on a new clean test page I made, using InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) on Mac OS 10.6.6. I have no other problems with InDesign; it is running flawlessly. And no weird plug-ins or system hack software.
    My test file uses my default font (Adobe Minion Pro) and the default table (Insert > Table).
    It also shifts down when I delete a character in a cell. And the shift for me is more than one carriage return. I can get it back to center-aligned by top aligning and then choosing center align again.

  • Difficulty editing text in iPhoto book project.  I add a page layout with text, but can't edit the text box., Difficulty editing text in iPhoto book project.  I add a page layout with text, but can't edit the text box.

    I'm am having difficulty editing text in the iphoto book project.  I have a text box that is pre-populated with text.  I can edit the text once, then if I need to change something, it won't let me delete anything, only add to it.  Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks!

    You should be able to double click in the text box and add or delete text. First  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that doesn't help launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos, create a book  and check to see if the same problem persists. Post back with the results.

  • "Close" button in Blank Composition Options "Parts" Box Isn't Operational?

    I'm using a blank composition with targets to add menu choices within a page. I can open the target boxes with "Stay on Rollout" or "Hide on Rollout" by mousing over the trigger. I want the target box to stay as long as the cursor is over it because I'm putting additional hyperlinks inside the target box. However, when I roll out of the target box I want the box to disappear so I can see the page behind it again, IF no new navigation was chosen inside the composition target box. Right now the "close" button in the "Parts" section of the Composition Options menu appears to be non-operational. I can only choose to have the target stay on rollout, or hide on rollout. If I choose stay, I have to mouse over another trigger to make the first box hide again. Am I using this wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 

    Hi Brad,
    Unfortunately it's a new product that I can't put up a link to yet.
    However, no page elements are overlapping on top of the "close" button; in fact the button is just grayed-out in the Parts Menu, you can't select it, it seems non-operational.
    Basically what I'm trying to do is use a blank composition to create "fly-outs" within a page. It works partially well, except for the issues i delineated in my original post. Is this the best way to create fly out menus? Here is a link to another site that does what I'm attempting to replicate:
    http://www.seemonterey.com
    If you mouse over the menu items in the main menu at the top of the page, you'll see flyouts which will either hold if you move the cursor over one and/or select a navigation trigger inside that flyout, or disappear when you mouse over another main menu item and then a new flyout appears from that. It's a nice effect, I'd like to do the same on my project.
    Thanks again

  • Text placed within a blank composition thumbnail causes errors in preview mode?

    Greetings Adobe Community,
    I'm having some trouble placing text within a blank compositions thumbnail. While in design mode everything is fine and dandy, however, as soon as I preview my design, both in browser and preview mode the thumbnail gets displaced. It's very annoying and I can't seem to stop it from happening.
    I've tried to upload pictures detailing the issue but I keep getting this message (below) which should probably be a question topic of it's own.
    "An error occurred trying to retrieve data from server. Please try again in a few minutes. Error Code: Object doesn't support property or method 'createContextualFragment'"
    Anyway I uploaded the images to photobucket.
    Here is what it looks like in design mode

    If anybody has a solution to stop this from happening I would be most grateful.

    I believe you are trying to get a color state for composition when its active ? please publish the site and provide the url to have a look.

  • Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?

    Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
    I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now.  I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf.  At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
    This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
    I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
    So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
    Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software?  If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
    Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
    Any experience with this?  Should I leave well enough alone?  Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
    Thanks
    Steve

    The printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
    I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
    If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
    Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities.

  • Can I add a new trigger to the beginning instead of at the end of a blank composition widget?

    Hi guys,
    I am creating a photo gallery page using the Blank Composition widget. I want to be able to add new content regularly by adding new photos to the top (beginning) of the gallery so my newest photos show at the beggining of the gallery.
    Currently, the little + symbol to add another trigger only adds a new trigger to the right (bottom) of group of triggers, effectively putting newly added content to the back of the gallery instead of at the front. Am I able to get it to add a new trigger to the beginning of the group and have that trigger be the first in the group to display?
    All the widget's seem to display this same order behaviour, so I'm quite stuck on how to get around this. I've tried re-arranging the triggers, but that has become insanely cumbersome every time I want to add new photos to the beginning of the group and move the older ones further down the gallery order.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated with this, cheers, David.

    OK
    I'm a newbie.
    I have the same problem. I've looked at some recommended 3rd party widgets and they don't do what I want either.
    Another method would be to start a nabble.com blog and embed that in to Muse, but then the news would not be seen by web crawlers and benefit your ranking on your own page. (I think)
    This is a rubbish work around but, I'm going to add a new news widget every month. I only get 5-6 bits of news a month, so by adding a new widget above the last each time, that will push the old news down the page.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Combining multiple pdfs and then adding info to the blank fields.

    i combined multiple pdf's together to make one package.  The forms had text field in each of them, when i combined them i tried to add text to the blank spots and the info autofilled from page one on to all of the pages.  I do not want this to happen.  when i go to the tasks-> Forms-> Edit fields, it brings up each page with the text box and a number next to each one that page.  All of the pages have some numbers that are the same and i can not change them so the info does not fill in from info on other pages.  How do i stop this?

    Do you need the fields to remain interactive or need to extract the field data after you merge the document together?
