How do I change font style in Illustrator CS3?

I am working on an EPS in CS3 and have three simple lines of text for which I would like to change the font style. How do I do that? I've highlighted the text using Arrow and/or "T" tools, and then selected different font styles from Type>Font...but nothing happens. Any simple suggestions for what I would hope is a simple issue? Thanks.

Scott Falkner, your answer was correct. The letters are outlined, not solid black. A new tool appears that looks like a magic wand, and it does allow me to select the outlined letters. However, font changes have no effect, which makes sense if the program does not recognize these as text any longer.
To answer your subsequent question, in my version of the software, a toolbar appears on the left (likely default, as I have never configured a special setting) that shows a black arrow in the upper left defined in the rollover as "Selection Tool (V)," and the second line below to the right shows a "T" defined as "Type Tool (T)." Those are the two tools I was using to select what I thought was the copy.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
FYI Scott Falkner: although I tried to mark your answer "Correct," I got an "Unexpected error has occured " from the Adobe forum Web site, so your answer was marked "helpful" instead, which did not create an error.

  • HOW CAN I CHANGE FONT STYLE IN INDEX PAGE FOR IBA?

    Hi
    Is it possible to change the font style in INDEX page for iBA?
    Naidu

    NO. In the index page. I figured out that we can change the space and text formate.
    I am preparing a bokk with 1 chapter and 13 section.
    SO, in the index page it is showing like 1.1, 1.2.......1.10, 1.11 so on; on the left hand side and page numbers on the right hand side.
    Can i take out the numbers on the left and have only the section name and page number?
    If so how?

  • How can I change font style?

    Hello
    My jsp page consists of 2 frames. In the first frame I have 3 links(references) to the pages, that open in the second frame. When I click any of the link, I want to change the colour of that link into red and if i click another one, then I want to change the colour of the first link back and another one I want to have red colour.
    Can anybody tell me, how to do it??
    Thanks a lot
    source:
    <form NAME='bells'>
    <table width="203">
    <tr>
    <td>First</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Second</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Third</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </form>

    use javascript
    on onclick event of each tag call a javascript function and change the color..
    e.g.
    <script>
    var currentLink = null;
    function changeColor(selectedLink){
    selectedLink.style.color="red";
    if(currentLink) currentLink.style.color="blue";
    currentLink = selectedLink;
    </script>
    <form NAME='bells'>
    <table width="203">
    <tr><td>
    First
    </td></tr>
    <tr><td>
    Second
    </td></tr>

  • Illustrator Crashing - When changing Font Styles

    Illustrator keeps crashing every time I try and change font styles on a piece of copy

    Hi Selina,
    Two possible (maybe the most probable) causes could be:
    Corrupt font(s) or A font caches issue
    For Troubleshooting Corrupted Fonts:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-font-problems-windows.html
    To Clear the Font cache for Mac:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-fonts-mac-os-x.html
    (It can also help if you are on Mac to boot in safe mode)
    Have you installed extra fonts or maybe a Font management Progam.
    If you removed the installed fonts or disable the font management progam you get the same results?
    Hopefully this will help you solve the problem.

  • How can I change the style of a row in tableview?

    Hi,
    How can I change the style of a row in tableview, for example ,I have 10 items in table view, and I'd like to change row 1,4,10 background-color:red; font-family:Arial ,Font-Weight:BOLD.
    Any suggestion?

    Yes, I knew how can I change the style using cell factory. there is a lot of work to do if it has so many columns in table view. we need to implement every cell factory, Do we have a simple way to change the whole row style , just like fabsav said, I 'd like to set the special row like this line:
    tableview.getItems().get(i).setStyle("myRowstyle"); And I found a bug if I implement my functionality with cell factory way, I can't change the cell style after rendering cell.
    protected void updateItem(Object object, boolean empty) {
          super.updateItem(object, empty);
    }updateItem() was only triggered while cell is being rendering, there is no way if I'd like to change the cell style after rendering event.
    Hi fabsav, How can I apply a CSS class to a specific row? Can you please provide a short example?

    You will need the web browser Firefox installed
    http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-6.0.2&os=osx&lang=en-US
    Next you will need to add the following addons
    Theme Font & Size Changer
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
    NoSquint
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    Theme Font & Size Changer can adjust the size of the type Firefox uses in the toolbar area.
    NoSquint remembers per site web page zoom levels and you can set a minimum size for all web pages so any site you visit is made bigger automatically. Safari doesn't do this.
    You can see the difference between Firefox and Safari in this picture.
    Note: Firefox is highly customizable browser, and I added the green with the yellow type, you won't see that when you first start using it.
    It did that to match my desktop picture, grey is depresssing.

  • How do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion.  Everything is greyed and too small.   And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which are now invisible?

    how do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Since upgrading,  all fonts are grey, instead of black,  and too small.   And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which also are grey and almost invisible?  And if you can asnwer this, can you tell me how to get back the email format I had before the upgrade?  I no longer have column headings and I'd like them.  Thank you. 

    Do you know about changing the font colors for ical, and the color of the scroll bars?
    No, I don't. I don't use that program; I fiddled with it just now, and could not find a way to do that.
    Perhaps someone else will have an idea.

  • How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

    How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

    You can't in Safari.
    However you CAN with Firefox and the add-on called Theme Font & Size Changer, also include NoSquint and set a global web page zoom level a bit higher, say 150%.
    NoSquint has buttons on the tool bar to increase/decrease each websites size AND IT REMEMBERS IT!
    Under the Tools Menu > Customize you can add more toolbars as well, but they have to have something in it of course.
    (note: the green with yellow type is a person you can add from thousands of choices, it's not the default look of Firefox)
    So this setup, although it may appear large here compared to Safari, is fine on my 17" when sitting back about 3-4 feet, takes up about 1/6th of the screen, so I'm not hunched up close, and I have a lot of screen real estate to play with anyway.

  • How do I change the style of a subset of rows inside a Datagrid?

    How do I change the style of a subset of rows inside a
    Datagrid? I have tried dgExample.selectedItem.fontWeight="bold" but
    that does not work. What should I do?
    Please help.

    I see where you mean but I'm not familiar with the 'language'
    of CSS. Currently, the background of the body (or probably the div
    container) is set to none on this page. So visually, I have a white
    background with black letters. I want to place a gradient image in
    this container instead of the 'none'. The coding with "none isn't
    even the CSS code because I vaguely remember deleted it because I
    thought I would never need it. So can you tell the CSS code I need
    to place this image in the #container (I think that's where it
    should go) and where? Thanks. I've included the little piece of
    code where I think it should go in somewhere. Thanks for the help.

    Thanks,

    I am giving you a sample code you can modify it according to your requirement.
    I have created a CSS in ProcessRequest Method of Controller.
    import oracle.cabo.style.CSSStyle;
    CSSStyle oraaniltext = new CSSStyle();
    oraaniltext.setProperty("color", "#F6358A");
    oraaniltext.setProperty("background-color", "#000000");
    OAMessageTextInputBean comCode = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("InvoiceIdTI");
    comCode.setInlineStyle(oraaniltext);
    Here i have set the CSS of a item of Type MessageTextInput and set its Foreground Color and Background color.
    I hope this will give you some clue.
    Thanks
