Editing text is weird in dreamweaver!

i have been working on an apple for about a year now, and i
had gotten used to using command+arrow keys instead of home and end
like on a PC. this is the way i like it. in dreamweaver on a mac,
they used home and end and the command+arrow keys thing doesn't
work anymore. this is VERY frustrating to have all my other
applications work one way, and have dreamweaver work another way. i
love the code hinting and tag auto-complete stuff, but if i can't
get this fixed, im going back to bbedit!

you can edit the keyboard shortcuts and assign any available
key to any
available action.

How to add edited text from photoshop to dreamweaver

I edited text in photoshop to make it look nice and sparkly. I am trying to put it in a flash site but do not understand how. the context file only allows you to choose the color and type of font but nothing more such as drop shadows and such. when i go to edit the context code for the flash site what would the code for edited text in photoshop look like in dreamweaver context editor?

I am not sure I understand? There is no Photoshop code?
You would take the image you created in Photoshop and place it into your Dreamweaver document. Correct me if I don't understand what you are trying to do.

Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disapear

Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disappear.
When adding bold in design view (strong) to two words at the start of my paragraph the last line of the paragraph disappears. This is somewhat worrying as it means any editing I do in dreamweaver could do massive amounts of damage to the content.
We are pasting the original content into the code view so as to strip the formating Dreamweaver then decides to take the last line break in the source code paragraph and then delete it see example below:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean dignissim nisi id risus varius ut scelerisque massa consectetur. Vestibulum non tortor augue, sit amet dictum lacus. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Curabitur ultrices felis et dui tincidunt sit amet tristique est pulvinar. Nulla a lectus quis erat ornare ultricies. Sed ac elementum magna. Nulla aliquet accumsan nulla. In dictum accumsan tortor eget consequat. Suspendisse potenti. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc et orci eu augue condimentum sodales quis id mauris. Nam enim nisi, convallis eu volutpat non, malesuada quis nulla. Sed auctor nulla et tellus vehicula lacinia interdum odio lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio.</p>
So when applying Strong with the Bold button in the design view to the first words 'Lorem ipsum' the last part of the paragraph 'lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio' will be deleted. Bizare and very dangerous especially for Annual Report content.
Any experience of similar or solutions would be greatly received.
PS. I have restarted, repaired permissions, checked dreamweaver is up to date trashed plist's and removed duplicate fonts.

It could be a problem in the templates.
In all honesty, I just tried pasting text into the Design section of a page.
It doesn't even work on my Mac, and it took three tries to get it to actually paste in VIsta.
I had to go to the code and reformat it after it did paste, but it eventually went.
I don't work with templates much.
Well, that actually makes me feel a little better, if it makes sense to feel better to learn that it could be the expensive software and not just us. I guess I will view this as an opportunity to improve me coding speed :-) Thanks for the feedback.

Editing Text in Dreamweaver Display View

I have just started using Dreamweaver CS4. In older versions
of Dreamweaver, I'm used to seeing text in Display view and being
able to edit the text directly in Display view, rather than having
to edit text in Code view. But when I'm trying to edit text in
Display view on a webpage that has text in a scrollable window,
Dreamweaver does not allow me to scroll down the scroll box, so I
can't edit text that is lower down in the scrollable area.
Anybody have an idea on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks very much.
Jason

That would be the way....

and btw, i dont have knowlege in html and css coding, so if u could explain it so i dont have to do coding in text, but only visual, it would be nice. yea im a naab...
thanks in advance

Use graphics apps for images only. DO NOT export HTML from Photoshop or Fireworks. The result is table based code that precisely fits the image slices and nothing else.
When you try to edit graphics app generated code in DW, your page layout will fall apart.
The following procedure is the workflow you should follow:
Part 1 - Initial Design
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html
Part 2 - Markup preparation
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt2.html
Part 3 - Layout and CSS

Editing text on a Mac (Acrobat 9) causes text to show on Windows as ellipses

I'm a relative newbie to editing in Acrobat and forms but I'm usually a quick learner..
What I'm seeing is when I take an existing form with largely Helvetica Neue and edit the form on a Mac (my principle machine),
when I try to view the form on a Windows machine in Adobe reader, ellipses (look more like bullets) appear where my edited text is.
Funny thing is it is only the text I've edited within a single text box.
For example, if I started with
The fox jumps over the hen
And I edit it to say
The fox jumps under my bed
What I see on Windows Acrobat reader is
The fox jumps * ** ** *** ***
(using *'s in this form as the bullets I'm seeing aren't easily available)
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
==Forrest

There are several fonts listed...
HelveticaNeue (Embedded Subset)
HelveticaNeue (Embedded)
HelveticaNeue
HelveticaNeue (Embedded Subset)
HelveticaNeue,Bold
HelveticaNeue-Bold (Embedded Subset)
HelveticaNeue-Bold (Embedded Subset)
TimesNewRoman,Bold
What's weird is I literally edited a small amount of text within text boxes (I did not add any new text
boxes because I don't have the original source document). The font properties for these text boxes
is set at the text box level and only the text I edited is unviewable on the windows machine. The
text I did not disturb displays correctly.

To answer your specific question "Is it possible to edit a google site using dreamweaver" the answer is NO. The reason is that Google does not allow uploading of web pagesusing any means such as FTP. Google provies hundreds of templates to choose from and like you I don't like them at all.
Microsoft had a free service long time ago that allowed you to upload your own pages but this has been stopped for new customers. New customers are required to sign up to their Office 365 Service <http://tinyurl.com/bucc6t4> and this costs money. However, you can build and host a website with a custom domain for your business.using their free software called Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2010 <http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16573>. I believe they also have a 64 bit version to download but I only use 32 bit on my 64 bit systems!!
Hope this helps.

Set permissions for everyone to edit text on a website (Was: Editi text)

How do i site my site up so any one can editi the text on the site

Are you sure you want just anyone to be able to edit text on your site? That's a little dangerous don't you think?
If what you're really asking for is a password protected online editor, you need a Content Management System or CMS.

CS5 Properties Bar Edit Text gone

Just upgraded from cs3 to 5 and when I am in the body of my pages, I do not have the ability to edit text as I used to. What I mean I do not have the ability to click and highlight text and bold it, or center it, or change its colour. All of these setting were in the bottom properties. Now I am seeing much less choice in the properties bar. Is it something I have to turn on, or install? Sorry if this seems silly.

No not silly at all but what it signifies is that you're about to change the way you used to do things (like styling text). Back in the old days, you could use non-semantic and horrible code like font tags, and attributes like "align=center". Those days are over.
So some examples for you to parse through -
This will be our example HTML code:
<p class="testCSS">This is a paragraph of text</p>
Let's style this paragraph. Between our <head></head> tags we'll add the following: <style></style>
And in between <style> and </style> we'll add CSS code like this:
.testCSS{
Let's say we want that text to be centered, a bit larger than the surrounding text, and an increased line-height
.testCSS{
text-align:center; /*or left or right or justified*/
font-size: 1.4em;
line-height:1.4em;
Let's say we want that text bold. We'll add <strong></strong> tags around the text we want bolded. For italicized we use <em></em> tags around the text we want italicized.
<p class="testCSS"><strong>This</strong> is a <em>paragraph</em> of text</p>
Fundamentally you're going to need to learn Dreamweaver is not a word processor and that for best results you will need to learn HTML and CSS.
Hope this helps.

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.
Thanks

How do you edit text that is in a text box?

How do you edit text that is in a text box? I just want to change the font color of the text. Solution in the Help files recommends selecting the text and then selecting Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
   Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
   Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
This is what the help files recommend
(Optional) To make further changes to the text box:
   Using the Select tool or the Text Box tool, click an edge of the text box to select it, and then drag a corner to resize it. Use the Properties toolbar to change the border and fill options.
   Double-click the text box to edit the text or change the text attributes. Drag across text to select it, and then select options from the Properties toolbar.
When I try the above solution I don't have a "Options" in the "Properties" toolbar.
Why would they change a process that was so simple in previous editions to such a hidden awkward process?

Try with a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer and/or changing the blending mode.
If the effect is too much for the rest of the bulb, you may be able to mask it out.
It would help if you post a representative picture here on the forum page for us to look at.

Add or Edit Text Dialog Box Disappeared

I am attempting to add text to my pdf using the add or edit text tool in Acrobat Pro X. However, the dialog box that allows me to change fonts, size, color, etc. has disappeared. Does anyone know how to make the dialog box come back?

Hi,
This is a new problem. It started about 2 days before I posted the question. I have not updated my Acrobat recently and I was previously able to use the dialog box with no problem. I have tried in several different documents and the dialog box is not showing up.
Thanks for your assistance.

Remotely editing text files in Windows WinRM/PSExec/Powershell/cmd

Hi!
How can I remotely edit a text file in Windows?
I am running and administering a number of Windows 7 workstations and Windows Server 2012 machines. I would like to be able to remotely edit text files on any of these machines. I can connect to any of these machines via psexec or powershell remoting. I
can also connect via rdp, but for the workstations I would rather not kick the user off unless I absolutely have to.
For example, we manage state configuration using
Salt. Local configuration files are stored in C:/salt/conf. I would like to be able to edit these config files on the fly.
This question on Stack Overflow covers the same topic, but none of the answers are particularly satisfying. Some of the possible solutions
are:
Remote Desktop: as I say, I would rather not have to kick a user off their workstation
Edit a file over a UNC path: this only works for files on a share, and setting up arbitrary shares for quick edits seems like a bad idea.
Install some manner of ftp or ssh server on all the target computers. This would certainly work, but it is it necessary with WinRM already active? I feel like installing and configuring extra software across all the machines in my organisation would be
a last resort.
Edit with a command line editor (e.g. vim, emacs) over a remote powershell session. This doesn't work. I don't understand the technical details, but a powershell remote session isn't interactive in the same way that ssh connections are.
Edit using powershell's -replace operator, out-file and add-content cmdlets. This works, but is hardly the same as a fully featured text editor.
Retrieve content from the remote, edit locally, and post back to the remote. This works, and is arguably the best solution I've found. Code sample from SO:
PS C:\Users\Meredith> Invoke-Command -Session $ps -ScriptBlock {get-content c:/inetpub/myapp/web.config} > web.config
edit web config
PS C:\Users\Meredith> get-content web.config | Invoke-Command -Session $ps -ScriptBlock {set-content c:/inetpub/myapp/web.config}
The last two options are the workflow that I've been using for now. Regex replacement for very simple changes, and copying to local and editing there for more complicated ones. Neither is ideal, but they work. It just feels incredibly old fashioned.
I'm considering writing a plugin to my editor of choice (vim) to perform the remote fetch and save, to make my workflow a little bit smoother. Before I try that, I just want to know if there's anything that I've missed, or misunderstood.
Cheers

What is the "redirector"?
I posted the same question to Stack Overflow, and was told about administrative shares. I wasn't aware of this, and it's exactly what I wanted. I can open the filetree of a remote machine with the path \\machinename\c$\. Perfectly simple, now that I know
the answer.

Editing Text in Acrobat Pro DC

I've followed all the instructions for editing text but when I go to select a text box the entire area is selected and the only choice is to move objects on the page (flip, left/right, etc). I'm unable to click on the blue box to select that specific text box I need to adjust. There is no option for me to select Tools to follow the other help instructions "If a bounding box doesn’t appear, choose Tools > Recognize Text > In This File."
I'm trying to work on a PDF that someone else created (who is on vacation, lucky) and of course the client needs it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I don't have Acrobat DC here right now, so I can't give you step-by-step instructions for text recognition.
But have a look at https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/how-to/edit-scanned-pdf-files.html?set=acrobat--fundamenta ls--edit-pdf

How do I leave editable text and images in a PDF?

I recently bought a flyer template and it came as an editable PDF. Here is one of the templates http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
Every field, both text and graphic object, is fully editable in the free Adobe reader. I have Acrobat X and have tried all the methods of producing something like this but nothing has worked. I wish to produce not just one page template PDFs that can be edited like the one above, but I also have a 20+ page magazine, which currently is distributed in PDF form and I wanted certain image and text fields within the magazine to be customisable too.
I design the magazine using InDesign and the exported pages are composed of 1 large background image with text fields laid over the top. I have tried exporting it as an interactive PDF, ticking the layers option for Acrobat, but when I try to create an editable form (Tools>Forms>Create>Open file) it does not recognise any of the text fields at all.
Can someone please help me before I slam my head repeatedly in a door? I have been searching for a solution for so long and I'm getting rather frustrated.
Thank you in advance
Wendy-G

Thanks for the replies I've had so far, but I really need some detailed help to sort this.
I want to be able to create a PDF that has editable text and editable graphics over a background image, that can be edited in the free Adobe Reader, as per this item - http://www.wendygarratt.com/images/flyer.pdf
I know this was designed in LiveCycle and I have LiveCycle and Adobe Acrobat Pro X, but LiveCycle is new to me. I am a quick learner (I use Photoshop, InDesign, etc) and need help in getting started.
I am willing to work with someone to help get this sorted but it is urgent that I get to grips with this.
Thanks so much for helping
