Gold icon on Text Boxes?

I don't know if this is related to the SFWordProcessing bug or not.
Since that bug cropped up... I'm noticing a GOLD icon on the upper right of many text boxes... not all of them except for one site in which all of them have this icon.
HOvering over it brings the pop ups "TYPE TITLE HERE".. or something like that... but they are interfering with my view. Any way to turn them off?

Something new? Something I turned on and wasn't aware I was doing it?

What is the little yellow round square silhouette icon inside text boxes?

Hi,
I am wondering what the small icon is, that appears inside text boxes in the upper right corner.
It is mustardy-yellow with a thick rounded-corner outside frame, a thin inside frame, and the silhouette of a person.
Does it have a purpose? I can't select it, and it does not reveal anything on roll-over.
Just curious, thanks!

Using a non-Web Safe Font will not automatically turn that text box into an image file. However, its appearance on any computer that does not have that font installed will be difference as that computer substitutes a different font for it.

Is there a way to annotate a PDF by adding a text box any where on the screen rather than having to click on the text box Icon each time? It was like this before I downloaded Yosemite.

I use the Preview app to annotate my notes for class. It use to be where I could add text where ever I wanted on the screen just by double clicking. Now since I downloaded Yosemite I have to click on the text box icon at the top each time and it adds the text box in the middle and I have to move it to where I want it. This is very inconvenient for class. Any suggestions on how to get the old preview back or fix this problem?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

10.6.8 Unable to click in text boxes or on utility menu at top of screen, Dock icons lead to containing folders instead of programs

As stated in my subject, periodically I become unable to click in text boxes (in my browser, addresses/search) and am also unable to click on the various icons in the utility bar at the top of the screen such as bluetooth and volume control etc. Also, when this occurs if I click on Applications or one of my Dock icons it leads to the containing folder as a destination instead of the program itself. It resolves itself after awhile, but I can fix it immediately by unplugging my mouse and plugging it back in. At that point, everything works fine as if nothing ever happened. What is strange to me is that it fazes in and out, while being able to return to being fully operational.

Have you tried adding the following css selector to your css file.
.nav-bar a {
    text-align: center;
or insert it in the <style> tag you have on the page:
<style type="text/css">
body {
    margin-left: 200px;
.n {
    text-align: center;
.nav-bar a {
    text-align: center;
</style>

Flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box

hi, i hav problem with the flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box. im using macbookpro MAC OS X 10.7.5. i've search for solutions, lik relaunch the finder by pressing COMMAND+ALT+esc, but it didn't work for me...
any1 can help me, thx...

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Expanding text box in mail stationary

I am trying to put together a photo newsletter in Mail using the Tack Board template in the stationary. I thought that I would be able to expand the area where the text goes to add more text, but it won't let me type past where the blue box ends. Is this really preset or is there a way to lengthen the box and have more text?
I was assuming this as the little icon at the top when you are choosing stationary looks like its text box is bigger then the one when you open it.

Just be aware that e-mail is a very poor transport mechanism for such things. If any of your recipients don't have Apple Mail, they may not see the message the same way you do.

There is no way to change the template. Those templates are hard-coded with heavy doses of black magic.

Those are just static icons.

How to stop text box on iWeb page from automatically reverting to hyperlink when I click 'save'

As far as I see, the main text box in the body section of my iWeb page reverts to a hyperlink (connecting to a file) when I click save. I don't know how the hyperlink got activated to begin with--I must have done something, but I don't know what it was. I tried this many times to fix it: went to Inspector "hyperlink" section, activated the text box in the page, un-clicked "make hyperlinks active" (so they are inactive), then un-clicked "Enable as a hyperlink." That much works--the hyperlink (little white arrow in blue circle) disappears from the lower right corner of text box. But as soon as I save (command S), the text box reverts to a hyperlink.
If I don't click save and move around the pages, it does not revert to a hyperlink. It only reverts to a hyperlink when the file is saved. Why is it doing this and how to stop this from happening--how to permanently return the text box to a non-hyperlink?
The website page is: http://www.usronline.net/USR/VedicResearch.html. If you click anywhere randomly in the main text, you'll get a prompt to download a PDF file. This should not be, but I can't get this hyperlink to go away for good.
Many thanks in advance.

Please pardon the reply delay--a big project deadline had to be met. Now back to this work:
Yes, the text in the oval object had a drop shadow (the oval object itself did not). I removed the drop shadow from the text, but the image file icon stayed in the right corner of the oval object. I deleted the text and then the image file icon disappeared. But as soon as I typed text again inside the oval object (not even pasting the previous text) the image file icon appeared again. I deleted the oval object entirely and simply typed the text inside the main text box itself. The image file icon that was attached to that oval object is gone (along with the oval object).
Still the image file icon is attached to the main text box, though. I again tried to uncheck the Enable as hyperlink (same process as described in first posting) with that oval object gone, but when I "save" again it reverts to a hyperlink.
Next I tried this: I copied the text from the problem text box and pasted it into another text box (outside of the problem one). Still in the new text box with the pasted text, the image file icon shows in the upper right corner.
I also removed all the drop shadow features from this main text box (there was one more, on some words typed in the main text box), but it is still showing as an image.
I don't know how it became an image file, and I'm still stumped as to how to fix it (short of forgetting about trying to figure out how it became an image and just retyping all text into a new text box).
The link you provided for "Web Safe Fonts" is returning this: "The server at www.ampsoft.net is taking too long to respond." I'm using Arial and Georgia (Georgia only on the menu and header text) in the site, and I had verified before designing the site that these are web safe, so I had thought they were.
If you or anyone have any further suggestions or suspicions on this matter, I'd be glad to hear them.
Thank you.

Passing parameters to the SQL Report from a text box in jsp

Hi All,
I want to dynamically generate the SQL Server Reporting Services by passing the query parameter from the url like this :
"http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fDashboardReports%2fHorse_Profile&rs:Command=Render&rs:HorseID=117415"
Where horseid id my parameter which is needed by report to generate the required data.
This query paramter value is picked from the text box on my jsp page.
But my problem is when i go to this url it says the message
"The 'HorseID' parameter is missing a value ".
I have done a lot of search on this topic. Everybody says that we can pass the values from the url like i am using. But still its not working.
Any body has any idea please give me some idea.
Regards.

If you receive a picture via email or text message in ios 7 and when you press the action icon to save the picture and you do not get the option to save to your camera roll. Press and hold on the the image and you will get an overlay pop up to save the image. I have no idea why some attachments don't have option in action menu to save in the camera roll but by experimentation and earned frustration I found the above to work in certain situations.
Be well and have fun and feel rewarded in your frustrations. For without challenges, life would be an utter bore.

Pop up text boxes on mouseovers

I'm looking for an easy way (and the easiest tool to use
between Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash [and I'm guessing
'Fireworks']...or maybe Flash---I have Studio MX2004) to create not
a 'pop-menu', but 'a Pop-Up TEXT box' on a mouseover event.
For example, please perform the following steps to see what I
would like to do:
1)Google 'Product Demos'
2)Click on 'Blackberry' link at top of list 3)A selection of
product thumbnails appears...click on any product link 4)A Flash
presentation loads....Click on 'Interactive Views' in the lower
right-hand corner.
5)Go to the upper left-hand corner and click on 'Included
Applications' to see the text pop-ups activated when you mouse over
parts of a graphic (in this case, each icon)....AND THEN...click on
the next one in the list, 'Handheld Features' to see text pop up
boxes activated once you mouse over the textual captions (or
pointers).
This is the effect I would like to achieve when a user mouses
over a section of a figure or illustration, or over a textual
caption itself.
Thanks!

Resizing text boxes in Pages 5.2

Looking for some pretty simple help here:
At this point I merely want to resize a text box and the edges of the box refuses to be active for me to pull it to change the shape! Why is this so hard now?
(Below is my mini gripe session about Page 5.2)
I'm using Pages 5.2 and the text boxes are suddenly very difficult to manage and it is very frustrating. When working with the boxes they are covered with too much graphics with the top and side bars, and when using multi boxes on one pages the control graphics make a big visual tangle. Adding rows, columns, deleting the same, even moving a box on the page is a struggle now because you have to find the little cross icon that appears on only one little place in the corner when before you could just drag the box from anywhere within the box! Very unpleasant changes......

Okay: I see part of the problem: I'm confusing tables with text boxes. I'd rather work with text boxes. Is there a way for a text box to have a solid, visible outline? That would make it much easier!

How do I eliminate the text boxes?

I have made ibooks before however this time I get the text boxes in pretty much every page. I delete the page start again to make a full page picture on a blank page and the text boxes appear again. I cannot figure out how to eliminate the text area. Also I cannot change the position of the pictures when the text boxes are displayed.

There is a menu to let you select the layout you want, textbox or no text box.
In iPhoto 11 it's the icon at the top of the page in the single page view:
Click to view full size
Earlier versions of iPhoto will have a layout button at the bottom where you can change the layout.

Acrobat 9.2.0 Update Breaks Text Box Tool, Possibly Introduces a New Security Flaw.

Anyone have any ideas for this one?
Once we upgraded to version 9.2.0 (This is a major security release that fixes a Javascript security flaw) our text box tool no longer works the way we want it and crashes the program.
Try this:
1. Open any PDF document on a Windows XP SP3 computer with Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0.
2. Add the 'Text Box Tool' to the toolbar by right-clicking the toolbar and selecting 'MoreTools' then placing a checkbox next to the 'Text Box Tool'.
3. Click the 'Text Box Tool' on the toolbar and draw a new textbox anywhere on the PDF document.
4. Click out of the textbox to cancel typing mode, then single click back on the textbox that you just created.
5. Right-click the textbox that you created and select 'Properties..."
6. Under the 'Appearance' tab,
a. Select Style: No Border
b. Select Fill Color: No Color
c. Check the box 'Make Properties Default'
d. Click OK.
7. Click the Text Box Tool again, and draw another textbox (Since there is no border you will not see it but you will still be drawing a textbox).
8. Let go of the mouse when you are done drawing your textbox rectangle and the program will crash at this point.
Results:
1. "An internal error occurred." dialog box is displayed.
2. After clicking ok the following "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" dialog box is displayed:
"Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
R6025
- pure virtual function call
3. After clicking ok another dialog box is displayed:
Error signature
AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 9.2.0.124 ModName: acrobat.dll Offset: 000509dd
4. The same error has occurred on all five computers that we tested the new version on.
Expected results: A new textbox is created and you may start typing in text (This was the behavior in version 9.1.3).
Additional Information
At times, we need to add information to PDF files (i.e missing dates, etc). We have always used the Text Box Tool to do this with no border, and with no fill color as this is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to add information to PDF files in a precise manner. We want the fill color to be transparent so that we can fit text in between and exactly on lines easier, and so that there is not a solid background box behind the text. We want no border because a border around text that needs to go on a line looks stupid. Up until version 9.2 this procedure worked fine. Now, the program will crash. Perhaps this even adds another security vulnerability if the crash could be exploited. We want to maintain security by patching Adobe to address the JavaScript vulnerability that was addressed in version 9.2.0, however, we are not able to update our users as the new version breaks the fundamental purpose that we use Adobe Acrobat for. We are stuck with the vulnerable version 9.1.3 until this problem is addressed. Disabling JavaScript is not an option either, as we use a Java plug-in on a daily basis.
Any thoughts would be great, I have attached screenshots of the errors.

The question still is not answered.
The problem continues in Acrobat 8.1.7 for Windows, even after updating toAcrobat 8.2.0. ( I can't comment on whether recent updates to Acrobat 9 fix the problem in Acrobat 9.)
The internal error after text insertion problem occurs even with PDF documents created in Acrobat 8, i.e., not only old versions of PDF files. We have the text box insertion icon in the toolbar, and the properties set to "no color" for the box and "0" width for the text box lines, as other commentators have noted.
The problem did not exist when Acrobat 8 Pro was installed, it was introduced by one of the updaters.
The main reason we use Acrobat, rather than much cheaper PDF-creation software, is to annotate PDF files (including inputting data into spaces in standard forms).
So justify the high price of Acrobat and fix the problem please, Adobe !

Is it possible to change the size of a text box on a photo book page

I am a first-time user of the photo book application in iPhoto. I am wondering if it is possible to:
1. change the size of a text box
2. have more than one text box on a page
3. move the text box around.
Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions someone might have.

Syncing Multiple Text Boxes in a Single Indesign File

In theory this problem seems rather simple and there should be a simple way to accomplish my task, but every search I've tried for syncing text only explains how to thread text boxes.
What I need to do is layout a template that is 4UP on the page. Currently, whenever I make any edits to my text I have to copy the change multiple times to reflect the change in each instance of my layout on the page.
What I'd like to do is sync all my textboxes so that any changes or updates will automatically be reflected in each instance of the layout. In the past I've accomplished this in Illustrator using symbols and instances a symbol, but I've yet to find a simlar method in Indesign.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I had stumbled cross referencing, but didn't understand I needed a seperate reference for each paragraph within the text box. This worked pretty well, however when making changes to the original reference sources, I found the cross reference would break so by time I updated and re-linked each reference in every text box it ended up taking more time than simply copying the original text box 3 times. I guess I'm looking for more of a dynamic solution.
Thanks for the help!
Zach Barner
Hi, Zach:
Thanks for the feedback. You shouldn't have to relink or update multiple changed cross-references in a document individually.
I did a test on my suggestion, because x-refs aren't supposed to break completely when source context is changed. I saw that I didn't caution you about deleting the cross-reference marker (AKA "Text Anchor"); when you create a cross-reference to source material, in the same or different documents, InDesign inserts a cross-reference marker at the beginning of the source paragraph. If it's not visible, enable Type > Show Hidden Characters. It looks like a colon character (:) in the layer's indicator color.
NOTE: InDesign uses the term "Destination" to describe the paragraph that a cross-reference pulls into the cursor position when you insert a cross-reference, and it uses the term "Source" to describe the pulled-in destination paragraph that's displayed at the position where the cross-reference is inserted. This usage derives from the terms used for InDesign hyperlinks, where it makes better sense. Depending on your pre-InDesign experience with cross-references in longhand, typewritten, or other computer applications, you may find it, as I do, counterintuitive. I think of "source" as what you pull in, "destination" as the place where you display what's pulled in, and "reference" as the thing that's pulled in. I also use the term "source document" to describe the document that contains the reference's source, and I use the term "container document" to describe the document that contains the reference (the stuff that's pulled in.)
So, when you change a cross-reference's source material in the source document, if you take care not to delete the cross-reference markers/text anchors that are created at the beginning of source paragraphs, the references in the container document's Hyperlinks/Cross-references panel display a yellow warning triangle for each changed source, and you can update them in one action.
Updating the changed cross-references can also be confusing: If no changed (yellow triangle) cross-references are selected in the Hyperlinks / Cross-References panel are selected (highlighted,) whether you use the Update cross-references button at the bottom of the Hyperlinks / Cross-References panel, or the Update Cross-Reference item on the Hyperlinks / Cross-References panel's flyout menu, ALL changed cross-references are updated. However, if one or more changed cross-references in the panel are selected, the update button or menu item updates only the selected references.
See if this helps simplify your operations.
