Highlight text tool causes all text to disappear on saving.  HELP!

I have lost HOURS of work.  I highlighted a document, as I have for years, but on saving it, ALL of the text has completely disappeared.  The document is now a bunch of yellow boxes - that's it.  What is going wrong all of a sudden???????

Good day!
One sometimes surprisingly efficient trouble-shooting routine is trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed.
Other than that you might want to read this

  • Preview: highlight text slowly disappears over the days

    Hello everyone.
    I have several days reading a book in pdf format with preview.app, and I highlight text in bright yellow.
    I have reviewed all the highlighted text and the color yellow is more tenuous as I approach the beginning of the book.
    In fact the highlight of the first page no longer exists.
    How I can do to make all the highlight is of the same intensity of color?
    I use Preview Versión 5.5 (719). Thank you.

    Tonight I went to the Genius Bar. There seems to be two options:
    (1) Do as the genius did tonight:
    - Reset the home folder's ACL (Access Control List.)  (He said to Google this to learn exactly how to do this.)
    - Repair the disk permissions
    - Delete the Preview preference file. It's a "plist" file located in user/library/preferences
    If that doesn't work, then:
    (2) Re-install Lion.
    I tried Preview with the fixes and most of my problems seemed to be fixed. Those being the colors of the highlighted text and notes haven't dimmed after a number of quits and restarts of Preview. However, the grey text that I originally included in my annotations became invisible again. They're still there, but you can't seem them. Although the text that I included using other colors (blue & red) continue to appear.
    My feeling that this still might be an issue related to versions, but who knows.

  • Text keeps disappearing when I select it to make type at all / make changes / edit. Type tool is not working. I am running CS6 on a Macbook Pro Retina (which I am hating!) 10.9.4 - wish I'd never upgraded.

  • The text in all emails has disappeared.

    The text in all emails has disappeared. Lines that indicate that there are emails there, but hidden. The only way to find them is to click on Reply. Then I can view them, but can't click on links or bring up older messages in the same thread. Thanks

    That issue can be caused by the Adblock Plus extension.

  • Highlight Text Tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    How to use / fix Highlight Text Tool in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?
    It doesn't seem to work when I click, drag and release.
    Thanks.

    I am trying to select it, but the moment I let go of the left mouse button it disappears.

  • How to quickly switch between speech bubble and highlight text in pdf viewer in Maverics.  Can now only use menu to change to speech bubble in Maverics (Tool Icon gone since Lion and no shortcut listed)

    I use Preview to mark up student assignments, switching between the speech bubble and highlight markup tools.  The speech bubble is not on the toolbar since Maverics upgrade.  It also have no shortcut, which means navigating the menu every time since the Text shortcut, under which the speech bubble is now located does not remember the previously selected item and always reverts to plain text.
    From a usability point of view, for me this is a massive step backward since the Lion version...
    Or is there some hidden magic that will let me switch between these tools without having to navigate the menu everytime...

    100% agreed with this. The new interface is far too bulky, Even on my gaming computer's massive 21inch monitor, it's nearly impossible to keep up with my chat group of 23+ people. I constantly have to scroll back up to read messages, making it furstrating and inconveniant. And now that the update is being forced on all of them, they're complaning of the same issues. Like said previously, these are full computers, Not bloody tablets or cell phones, but even then the new skype's even more useless on my Venue8 Pro tablet, I get to see a whole 3 messages at a time (And don't get me started on the Win8 Skype app). And what made it worse, MS has removed all previous versions of skype from the internet. THEN even when I managed to get my hands on an old version, I can only log it in once before it kicks me off and gives me a worthless error message, "Skype Can't Connect". (But seriously, what happened to giving us error codes guys? Advanced users like myself want to be able to fix the issue ourselves!) MS, I'm sorry but, you need to stop fixing things that are not broken. I'm wasing my time trying to correct this now, and I really don't apreciate that. What happened to quality control and testing?

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text)  I'd like students to be able to view my comments on printed version of their papers.

    Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text)  I am a teacher, and I would  like students to be able to view my comments on printed versions of their papers. I know word displays the comments off to the side of the document, and those comments can be viewed all at once and printed alongside the document.

    There doesn't appear to be a way to print conmments in either Pages or Numbers in the Mavericks versions.

  • Is there a function or an addon that allows to export all highlighted text in a document to another document (to create summaries)?

    It would be very usefull to be able to export all highlighted text in a document at once

    There's a built-in function in Acrobat to create a comment summary (Comments - Comments List - Options - Create Comments Summary).

  • Changing the hightlight color for all existing highlighted text

    Is there a quick way to change the hightlight color of all existing highlighted text in a document? Thanks.

    Never mind I found it. Open the Comment panel, select all existing comments, right-click and select Properties, change to your desired setting, click OK.

  • Stacking Shapes Causes Text to Disappear

    I have 2 rectangle shapes that are .25 in height. Each has text that is a single word in a 9 pt font. When I stack the shapes the text in the top shape does not display. I have tried changing the inset margin but that did nothing. Is this a bug?

    echyone,
    Click on both objects to select them. Click on the Wrap inspector, then uncheck Object Causes Wrap. Problem disappears.

  • Can't highlight text ( text tool flickering )

    I am trying to simply highlight text and when I do it just flickers between the text tool and the hour glass.  You can select as if you are going to select the text but then it doesn't highlight.  So, the only way I can change colors, fonts, etc. is by opening the editor.

    ok, i fixed my issue by going to:
    Program Files
    Fireworks CS3
    Right Click on the fireworks.exe file and the go to compatibility
    I changed mine to Windows 2000 and it started working again.  Hope this helps someone.

  • My text tool is all in capital letters even though caps lock is off.

    My text tool is all in capital letters even though the caps lock button is off. Also I cannot click on the set fond style button. What seems to be the problem?

    Hi Neale --
    I am having the exact same issue, and it's a problem with any & all fonts I've tried. Of course, my keyboard's CAPS LOCK feature is OFF -- and I've tried many different font styles, nearly all of which allow for standard, non-ALL-CAPS usage.
    I'm intending to use Century Gothic for the work I'm doing right now, but it's been an ongoing issue for at least a few weeks -- but I know I never had an issue with this before recently.  (Note that I typically don't use or need the text tool for most of the photo editing work that I do w/PSE, so I'm not sure how long this has been an issue.)
    In addition, I would like to access other font-setting-related features, like kerning, character spacing, small caps, & other adjustments, etc. -- but I don't see ANYWHERE within the program (or on this forum...or online) how to adjust these relatively standard settings.
    Please help

  • Acrobat X Highlight Text Tool Problem

    I am having trouble using the highlighter in Acrobat X. When one highlights text, the text is backlit with the color of the highlighter...at least that's how highlighting is supposed to work (and how it worked in Acrobat 9.x and how it works in Microsoft Word). My experience thus far is that when I hightlight text in Acrobat X, the highlight color is painted OVER the text, completely covering it so it can not be seen. Changing the opacity of the highlighter mere lets a very dim semblance of text show.  Below is an example of text highlighted in Acrobat X using the highlight tool, and for comparison, the same text hightlighted in Microsoft Word. In Acrobat the text is completely covered with the highlight color (and reducing the opacity of the highlighter doesn't solve the problem because the text is barely viewable until highlighter opacity is set to near ZERO).
    I would like to know how to get the highlighter to behave correctly (as it did in Acrobat 9.x and as it does in Word).

    Since posting this, I have uncovered a solution on other posts in this form:
    Go into Acrobat X prefs, then, under Page Display, UNcheck "Use 2-D Graphics Acceleration".
    What 2-D graphics acceleration has to do with highlighting text is a complete mystery to me...and apparently to others on this forum. Most importantly, the problem is resolved.
    I hope this helps others experiencing this problem...
