How can I type into a text window on top of a box?

Hi gang. When I create a box (for example, a sidebar b/g) then create a text box on top of it, I can't type into that box unless I drag it off to the side, away from the b/g box (or layer, since we're not talking Quark) as the text just hops over to the b/g layer. Is there something I need to check or uncheck? It's driving me crazy. TIA

OK, I think I see what's going on. Use the Text tool to make the text frame, not the Rectangle tool. Becasue the rectanlge has no fill, and is not expecting text by default, when you click inside it you are really clicking in the filled background frame.
Of course, ther'e generally no reason to put a text frame on top of a native rectangle object like this you could just use the yellow frame, add some insets to position the text where you want it, and forget about the second frame on top.

How can I type over existing text on a web page?

I would like to be able to type over existing text on a web page. This can be done by hitting the "insert" key in several applications; however, it does not work in Firefox.
I'm running Firefox 31.0 and Windows 7.

Unfortunately that is not possible in Firefox.
The insert key is not supported (i.e. Firefox is always in insert mode), so you will have to delete the old text and type the new text.

How can i type international alphabet characters into keywords, title, and captions in Lightroom 4?

How can i type international alphabet characters into keywords, titles, and Captions in Lightroom 4? Usual Microsoft key shortcuts not working.

I haven't found a way to do that directly, but there is a workaround. It' s a bit cumbersome, so it's only good for the occasional character.
In MS Word or any other text editor create a file that contains all the international characters you need.
When you need to insert one of these characters into Lr (captions, title, keywords) copy the character from your text document and paste it into Lr where needed.
On Windows Ctrl + C / V works fine.

Yoga 13 MSIE10 can't type into text fields

New machine Feb 2013 used exclusively in laptop mode. Has been great overall but right out of the box I could not type text into any form fields using Internet Explorer 10. What an intro to Windows 8! Discovered I can type text in notepad, then copy and paste it into fields but cannot enter it directly. This was happening with the factory installed software so if it's a third party app conflict it's one that's original equipment. Thankfully Chrome works fine, but sometimes I need to use MSIE and am quickly reminded why I can't.
Google and Lenovo forums are mum on this subject. Some suggestions pointed to SFC /scannow, which came up with a litany of things it couldn't fix. Enhanced protected mode in MSIE also did not help. Didn't appear possible to reinstall MSIE (where's the DOJ when you need them?) What's next? Thank you all for your assistance.

hi dserdu,
Welcome to the Forums.
Are you having this issue on the desktop version of I.E. or the Metro version?
- if the issue only happens on the metro IE, try to open the Desktop I.E. > press ALT+T > choose Internet options. On the Internet Options, go to the Programs Tab, set I.E. to Always and check the box "Open Internet Explorer tiles on the desktop"
- Link to picture
Alternatively, if the issue is compatibility between the website and the I.E. versions, you can run I.E. 10 in compatibility mode or on a lower version (i.e. I.E. 9, I.E. 8., ...etc.). To do this:
1. Open the Desktop I.E. and press F12
2. On the developer tools, choose Browser Mode IE 10 and choose an I.E. version (i.e. IE 9)
- Link to picture
3. When dnoe, press F12 again and observe if you can now type into text fields.
Let me know your findings
Regards

How can I type on a PDF file? Do I need a specific version of Adobe to enter a text box?

I would rather type my information onto the page rather than hand write it and I don't have access to a type writer. How can I type my info onto the application?? Please help!

With Adobe Reader XI, you can add text comments and notes, as well as adding new text boxes using the Comment pane shown below:
However, if you actually need to edit text, you'll need to purchase Acrobat XI from Adobe.

In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
How can I type using the Apple Symbol font? I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.

Hey Juergen119,
I would recommend syncing your photos from your computer to your iPad by using iTunes:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
First, if you want to set it up to work via iCloud, I would check and make sure My Photo Stream is set up correctly on your devices:
To use My Photo Stream you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
Apple TV (2nd generation) with Apple TV Software Update 5.0 or later
PC with Windows 7 or later and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
For complete iCloud setup instructions, visit How to set up iCloud.
Then, once it is set up, you can upload your photos to My Photo Stream by following these directions:
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

All the best,

Why can't I paste anything into the Text window any more

Hi Laura,
Why cant I paste anything into the text window any more? I am using IE 7.0 (7.0.5730.13C0)
Regards
Ray Farmer

I've seen some weird (temporary) cases, for example when ctrl+v suddenly did not work, but "right-click..paste" was still working. Also, when I was pasting the comment here, notice that the last line containing the date (i.e. the line containing May 27, 2011) moved to the top of the quote, while it was at the botton in the original location (probably soem extra html got dragged along, I have not investigated).
(This was in Chrome.)

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 by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing 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
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
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 other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

How can I detect a certain text within a field within CASE using IF

Dear all,
for a transformation / generation of values receiving from R/3 into BW I try to
manupulate three fields. I have a problem detecting a string in a field.
I am using a CASE with several WHEN clauses on one field. Depending on the
value, an IF is integrated. There I look into another field evaluating, if it contains
a certain string. E.g. IF STRING CP 'xyz' OR 'abc'.
System gives error for the locigal expression. I also tried CS, but same error.
How can I detect a certain text within a field and which is the right logical
expression.
Many thanks in advance!!!
Claudia

Hi,
Folow the blow example...
May be it helps....
DATA: hex1 TYPE string,
hex2 TYPE string.
hex1 = 'FFFF'.
hex2 = '123FF'.
IF hex1 CP hex2.
ENDIF.
Cheers,
SImha.

How can i type a foreign language in fireworks cs3?

Hi,
I am trying to type in some Indian languages - Hindi, Kannda, etc. on my Fireworks file. I am simply using Google Transliterate to generate the text, then copying and pasting on to FW (CS3). But the text appears badly formatted - not completely garbled, but the accents are shifted.
Why is this happening? And how can one insert different language texts inside an english language FW file?
Thanks,
V

Thanks for the helpful hint, but it didn't work. The imported file also has the same character shift going on. Also, when I import the file, the font automatically changed to Tunga - which is the default MS font for the Kannda script. Everything looks good in Transliterate, but once I bring it to Fireworks, the characters and accents get separated.
Thanks,
V

How can I print out all texts from one person

How can I printall of my texts from my very bad lawyer?

It's not a file, so you can't "open" one file. Every message (and note) is a single file on the computer.
This Applescript will grab all the notes in the selected mailbox (i.e. the selected Notes item in Mail) and put them in a textEdit document.
Note that Mail doesn't differentiate between a note and an email message, so if you run this while a normal email mailbox is selected, it will gather all of your email messages.
tell application "Mail"
set theMailboxes to the selected mailboxes of message viewer 0
repeat with aMailbox in theMailboxes
set theNotes to the messages of aMailbox
set theText to ""
repeat with aNote in theNotes
set theText to theText & content of aNote & return
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
set myDocument to make new document at end of documents with properties {text:theText}
end tell
Copy and paste this into a new AppleScript Editor Document, select the Notes mailboxes you want to print the notes from, and click the Run button (Green button with arrow).
This may take a while.
