HELP! need help moving "main" text box in landscape form

Hello. I am working with a table that is now in landscape. I imported it from another FrameMaker 7.2 file which was in portrait form. The table is ongoing (spills into the next page) and I need to be able to move the "main" text box that the table imported into. I am unable/unsure how to go about doing this?! I have to adjust this box because I still have headers/footers/colored border to add later on. Is it also possible to change the size of that "main" text box that automatically appears when you would first open up a blank document??

Hi kt,
it's quite easy, if I understand what you want to do...
Go to the Master Pages in the target document and either create a new masterpage - (called land2port) or alter the existing master page that is being used... You can change the size and position of the TextFlow frame... Then the save the document as a template - import your landscape table and apply the appropriate master page - voilla!
now you will have room for your headers and footers...
enjoy!

How to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page AND move things

I usually work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but am creating two newsletter templates in Pages for a colleague, since it will be easier for her. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page that is driving me crazy. I just want a nice blank page that I can do whatever I want with. AND, I can't figure out how to select things so that I can move them, like shapes and text boxes. Some things seem to move fine, then other things just sit there. I am at the end of my rope!!!

Hi, Dylan. Welcome to Discussions.
If you're referring to the area where you just start typing when you open a new blank document, you can't get rid of it. But you also don't have to use it. You can insert text boxes and size and position them as you desire. Just be sure they're defined as Fixed on Page. When one is full and you want to continue it to another page (or to the side), click in the blank blue box on the lower right side of the text box. That will create another box and your overflow text will flow into it. Then position it where needed.
Also, you can create a text box the width of the page and then set it for 2 or more columns.
When you want to send something to the back and you may want to access it again later, just use the send backward command. If you send it all the way to the back, it will be behind the main text layer (where it will be safe from acvcidental movement) but you will have to click outside the work area and then drag the pointer to the object to select it.
Hope this helps to get you started.

Someone said to add the title on each web page on the main text box. Which is that?

I read in the discussion items that you should not bother with meta tags but just wirte the title in your main text box on each page with the word image in the beginning. Where in the main text box? The first one on the page? That has my web page title. Help. Judy

iWeb uses the textbox in the Header layer of an iWeb page as the title in the browserwindow.
Do not remove the original textbox, as you cannot replace it other than by selecting another theme and then change it back to the original theme again. Ruining the layout in the process.
If the textbox in the Header is missing, iWeb uses a textbox down the page in the Content layer. If that textbox is also missing, it uses another textbox. If that fails it uses the pagename in the Sidebar.
Sometimes you may want a different text in the titlebar and not display it on the page itself. Or not display it at all.
So use that textbox in the Header layer. Type your text. Then select the textbox. In the Inspector choose T, click a color to open the color palette and drag the opacity slider to 0 (zero).
Do Command-T to open the font palette and make the font smaller. (Or do Command--(minus)) Also use a font that doesn't change to an image. Arial is a good font. Perhaps do it first before making the text invisble.
Resize the textbox. You may want to change the height of the Header layer.
Do Command-Shift-B to move the textbox to the back, possibly behind other objects.
Next add a optional second textbox to the Header layer and use that one to display text on the page.
If you want to move the textbox to the front again to make changes, but can't remember the location on the page, drag the area with the mouse to select the objects.
Deselect objects you do not want to move forward by Command-dragging the mouse over these objects.
Next do Command-Shift-F to move the textbox to the front. Repeat the steps in reverse order to make the text visible.
Practice.

Help needed for ItemListeners for Choice Boxes

Hi,
I am new to AWT prgramming .
I have created a menu called " Menu System Test window " and it contains toplevel menu items of "File" and "Help" and File Menu contains subitems "Product Evaluation" and "Exit".
When i click File->Product Evaluation it displays a new Frame named "ProductEvaluationMeasurementTool" with some check boxes ,radiobuttons, buttons , text fields and choice lists.
I have added action listeners for Buttons ie Button1 and Button2 and they are working fine.
My question is how can i add ItemListener for Choice list so that when i select Choice1 in my program it should display a new Frame Window. i am sending the code .
Thanks in advance

Automator Help - Need script to send text to an existing document

Thanks

Sorry, I agree. It will update Style Library and other out of the box ones. Include the library titles in a collection and run the update against them provided these libraries are common across all sites. If not, you will have to first get an extract of
all such libraries in all sites say in a CSV file and then update the script below to refer to the CSV records.
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction Stop;
#List of Libraries to be updated.
$Libraries = @("Shared Documents","My Document Library");
$spAssgn = Start-SPAssignment;
$site = Get-SPSite http://site -AssignmentCollection $spAssgn
#Walk through each site in the site collection
$site | Get-SPWeb -Limit ALL -AssignmentCollection $spAssgn |
ForEach-Object {
#Enumerate through all document libraries
$_.Lists|Where{$_.BaseTemplate -eq "DocumentLibrary" -and $Libraries -contains $_.Title}|Foreach-Object{
#Get the list in this site
$list = $_;
#Create a version each time you edit an item in this list (lists)
#Create major versions (document libraries)
$list.EnableVersioning = $true
#Create major and minor (draft) versions (document libraries only)
$list.EnableMinorVersions = $true
#Keep the following number of versions (lists)
#Keep the following number of major versions (document libraries)
$list.MajorVersionLimit = 7
#Keep drafts for the following number of approved versions (lists)
#Keep drafts for the following number of major versions (document libraries)
$list.MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit = 5
#Update the list
$list.Update()

Help - Need to save group text - story of daughter's life

Hello and thank you in advance. This may be a very dumb question, but I can't seem to find an easy solution in the research I have done.
I have used a group text since the birth of my daughter to update family members on her life. This group text is now basically the story of her life with pictures, things she has done, funny things she has said... I don't want to lose any of that. However, my iPhone 4S 64G is now maxed on storage due to this group text. I need to save this somehow, but don't know how to go about it. I have backed up my phone many times, but now that I need to delete the text to gain storage capacity. I don't want it to override the backup next time with the deletion. I need to keep the history.
Any suggestions on how I can go about that?
I have purchased a program called DiskAid, but have not had time to see if it will suit my needs.
Thank you,
A mommy desperately in need of help!

Hi Maggie,
I would try the software decipher text message. It will let you save your text messages to your computer so that you can safely archive all the sms conversations between you and your family.

Help needed after moving music - has not been answered recently!

Hey,
I'm not great with computers. I moved my "my music" folder to an external hard drive (just cut and paste... oops) and now itunes won't open because it can't find the itunes folder. It won't let me uninstall or reinstall it. Help needed!
Thanks

If I understand correctly, you moved your My Music folder on to an extrenal drive and that this folder contained your iTunes folder. Now Itunes won't open. I hope you have not damaged anything by unsuccessfully trying to uninstall iTunes, if so we will have to fix that.
If you are lucky and I have understood you correctly, start iTunes with the shift key held down. You should be prompted to choose or create a library. Select choose and navigate to your iTunes folder on the external drive. You should find a file called iTunes Library.itl - choose that.

Advanced help needed, please - moved users

I did an upgrade install on my Dual G5 today, but Leopard doesn't know where my users' files are located. I have a very fast (but smaller) HDD for the OS, and moved my user files to a larger HDD. The links were not carried over in the upgrade/install.
I believe it was a post from Kappy that helped me in moving my user folders initially. Can anyone help me with the needed command line entries needed so that Leopard knows to look to the other HDD for my users?
Thanks-Gary

Help needed in formating the text using HTML tags in reports 10g

Hi all,
I have a situation here. We have an application which prints out Reports with a few lines of text in it. This text is entered by the user through our forms application in a field. That particular text is stored in each row of a particular long column. Here I want to modify the text, while printing, on the report like underline, bold, italics etc,.
As of now I am using the HTML tags, in the forms, to do so as most the times the text in the report is same.
I want to know if this can be done by the user itself while he is entering the data in the field through the form.
Thanks in advance . I will explain you more clearly if you need.

Hi,
The code did work. But I am not sucessfully able to display the values entered in 2nd page in the 3rd page.Please find the code below:

Apple Preview: While moving/editing text boxes created by others in a PDF, font color of that text changes for some reason and I don't want it to!!

I have a project where I've given about 10 people 50 PDF files each to mark up in red text, and send back to me. When they send them back, I in turn need to move or edit some of the text boxes they have created in Apple Preview. For about 8 of these 10 people, when I edit their text boxes and/or move them, Apple Preview immediately changes the text color of the red text to black, or to white. How do I get it to stop doing this? Is this a setting I need to have them change on their end? Or can I fix this on my end (preferable)?
Here is a link to such a file:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/rlemQEcJ/_online.html
When you try to move or edit the text "Sollazzo", it changes to black or white. I need it to say red. Thank you for your help!

It doesn't go anywhere in that: that isn't a feed, it's a web page. A feed is a text file in XML format.
Would you like to post the URL of your iTunes Store page?
This page about podcasting includes a basic sample feed so you can see what one should look like, and at the bottom of the page is the method for redirecting iTunes to a new feed.

Welcome to the forum. You will need to learn a couple things if you want to receive help and not get flamed to death:
1) All code needs to be posted within code tags. You can read up on them here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting
You want to make it as easy as possible for the volunteers here to help you. That means making your code readable.
2) Do not put "urgent" "need help" "hurry please" in your posts if you are smart. Definitely don't put them in the header of the post. The urgency is yours, not ours. Putting that stuff in there only turns people off. If you have a problem deemed worthwhile by the volunteers here, if you have put thought into your post so you make it easy as possible for others to help you, and if you show some effort on your own, you are almost guaranteed to get timely help.
3) List all error messages completely.
4) Keep all necessary code, get rid of all unnecessary code. Your code should be compilable on its own, but it should not contain anything that isn't necessary for demonstrating your problem.
5) Specifics:
Why are you throwing out all those exceptions?
Why is everything in one big huge GUI class? Break your code down into functional units. Make sure the logic works in a non-GUI way, THEN add a GUI class.
Why the huge main method? The main should be short and sweet.
Why the static inner classes? Do you know what is the difference between static inner classes and non-static inner classes?
Why all the static variables anyway? You are doing procedural programming with an OOP language. You should use OOP if you can with an OOP language.
Sorry, but this code looks like it was thrown together in a big hurry. I think that you have a lot of work to do. Good luck!

How do I disconnect text in left margin from the main text box

I’ve used a template that has a graphic and text in a wide margin on the left side of the page. The margin is set at 2.75, where a a single column text box resides, containing much more descriptive text. It seems the material inside the left margin is not accessible. When I click on it text in the large text box highlights. What is connecting these two boxes and how can I disconnect them? I want to use the left side of the document to contain, among other things, hypertext links to other websites. At first I thought it might be a matter of layers, sending objects to the back or front, perhaps grouping or ungrouping but that hasn’t helped.
Anyone got any thoughts on what might be creating this connection?

Ah, that did it. Kind of strange place to hid that command don’t you think? I still don’t know what will happen when I convert it to a .doc. While I much prefer creating this stuff in Pages if the creation doesn’t survive the conversion and others can’t open the links it doesn’t do me much good. If it doesn’t survive the conversion to Word I’ll let you know.
thanks for your help.

I need a combo box with 4 values to choose from which will populate a text box on the form with text related to each combo box selection

For example:
Combo box choices:
apple
tomato
squash
Pumpkin
The text box depending on the selection above would state the color:
Green        (if Apple was chosen from the combo box
Red           (if Tomato was chosen from the combo box
Yellow       (if Squash was chosen from the combo box
Orange      (if Pumpkin was chosen from the combo box
I am very new at this and have spent hours looking for an answer. Thank to anyone in advance who can help!

Place each value as the export value of the options in the combo-box and then use this code as the text field's custom calculation script:
event.value = this.getField("ComboBox Name").value;

Livecycle Designer 7.0 - How do I link a text box in a form to a radio button or checkbox?

Hello,
I am using Livecycle Designer 7.0 to create a form. I have a scenario where I have several options on a question where they choose one radio button. The last option of the radio button has a text box accompanying it and I only want it to be able to be filled out/typed into if that particular radio button is chosen. Not to be able to be typed into if that particular radio button is not chosen as an answer to that question.
How do I do that?
Also how to I do the same for a text box to be entered into and typed into only if the accompanying checkbox is checked?
Help?

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask Designer related form questions in the Designer forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_es/livecycle_des igner_es
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...
