How to format text inside text boxes?

i'm sure there's a simple solution for this, but for the life of me, I can't find how to format the text (eg font type, size, colour, etc) inside a text box (one of the editing tools) in Acrobat 8 Standard.
Is it just not possible, or is it just a case of extreme ignorance?
Thanks for your help.
cheers

You may need to mark the text first after opening the text touchup tool. Then use ctrl-E or right click for the properties.

Floating Text Inside Text

QUESTION: What is the best way to float a box of text inside
a paragraph of text, such that the floated text does not appear at
the top of the containing paragraph?
BACKGROUND
1) I know how how to float a captioned image with a floated
<p> tag at the top of a paragraph (see
http://homepage.mac.com/moogoonghwa/practice/CSS/floatedImageInParagraph.html),
and
2) I know how to float a letter inside a <span> or HTML
semantic tag at the top of a paragraph of text (see
http://homepage.mac.com/moogoonghwa/practice/CSS/firstLetterOfParagraph.html).
This time I would like to float a paragraph of text inside
another paragraph of text in such a way that it does not appear at
the top of the paragraph. I have considered three possibilities:
The <span> Tag
This option seems preferable because it is inline, and the
floated text would always appear at the same location within the
containing <p> tag. I am concerned, however, that this
approach would limit the ways in which I am able to format the text
inside the <span> tag, Could I put a <p> tag inside a
<span> tag, for example? If I remember correctly, the answer
is no.
The <p> Tag
Using the <p> would insure that the floated text would
always appear at the same location in the flow of the document. It
would also permit to format the "embedded text" in a variety of
ways. Unfortunately, it would necessarily split the containing
paragraph into two paragraphs.
The <div> Tag
Although this tag would permit me to structure the embedded
text in anyway that I desired, I am concerned that it would cause
disruption to the containing paragraph of text similar to that of
an inserted [p] tag.

I'm having a hard time visualizing what you want. Would it be
something
like this?
11111111111111
11111222221111
11111222221111
11111222221111
11111111111111
Where 1 and 2 are the two paragraph contents? If so, then you
can't really
do that in HTML/CSS.

Forgot how to format HTML in Text Area

Hello all,
I totally forgot something. How do you format HTML when rendering in Text area
Suppose I pass in a string that a text area grabs for display.
xxx.getAdditionalComments(existingComments + "\n" + "<B>" + date + "<\B> " + name);The text are will always display the <B> instead of displaying the date in bold.
I remember putting escape characters eons ago but I forgot how that worked. Anyone know how to render this with date being bolded?
Thanks.

If you mean the textarea HTML tag for text entry fields, you don't. If you forgot anything it's that you can't do things like that.

When i use the text tool the text inside the box is very small almost invisible even when i keep the text size to 72 please help

I Have the PS CC 2014 installed in my Win7. I have a problem with the TEXT TOOL,when I select the tool and type something in there,the text is very tiny eventhough the size is 72. I have tried all the things,like Preferences changing,tool reset,character resets etc., Please help me its very frustrating!

Do you see this behaviour on a new Photoshop document?
Try creating a New document:
File > New.
From the Preset menu, choose U.S. Paper (just so we can test what's happening).
Take note of the Width, Height and Resolution of the document you are creating.
Select the Type tool, and ensure the font size is set in pt (points), set to 72 pt.
Click anywhere in the canvas, and start typing.
Do you still see the problem? If it's disappeared, then check the problem document settings:
Image > Image Size, what's the resolution and physical width and height of the file?
Hopefully this will help you discover what's happening to your document.

Text inside box

How to print text inside a box in sap script?
please let me know the process

Hi
If you wish to print the text in the box which is dependent on the page then:
Create a window.
Include the window on the page you wish to display text.
In the text elements create a box using all the parameters.
The different terms are shown below.
Then add text(hardcode/Variable). This all should be done under one text element. Now call this element and window from your Print Program.
The syntax for box creating statement can be seen from below link.

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available: Text (plain) and Paragraph. (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)

How to recognize the text inside a text box

we have a scenario where we are validating the text inside a text box. Actually, we are inserting a text matching test on a node.
The scenario is like this:
When we open the screen it contains 6 text boxes.
We have to enter the text in the first 3 text boxes and save.
Then based on the entry the values are populated on the other three text boxes.
We have to validate the values in these text boxes , so we click and highlight the value.
Openscript identfiy the text box ,but it did not identify or recorded the values we have highlighted.
How to make the openscript recognize the values? Can we do it through menu options or else we need to write the code?
Any help will be appreciated.

I answer to myself:
Put all inside a PanelGroupLayout and set the layout to SCROLL.

May I know how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box?

Can anyone tell me how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box? I have tried to use property node but not really know how it functions.
In fact, I am writing a program for which the number inside indicator on front panel will show red color if the measured value can't reach the requirement. I am using LabView 6.1 Professional
Thank You for your attention!!!!!!

Simply use a property node with "NumText.TextColor" and wire the correct color depending on your test result.
The attached simple example (LV 6.1) lets you change it from the front panel. In your case, you would use your test output instead of a FP switch, of course. Message Edited by altenbach on 05-25-2005 09:05 PM

How to enter text into text box in Pages '09

When I manually select a text boxes in Pages, I can paste text into them. I can move from text box to text box using System Events to keystroke tabs but have not figured out how to get Applescript Editor to make the pastes. I am trying to use Applescript Editor to enter text into a pages document that is formatted for labels.

I have downloaded template U-0089-02_P.doc from Avery, 14 boxes displayed in two columns of seven rows.
Once you have clicked in the upper left box, the following script should enter text into every box, from left to right and top to bottom.
tell application "Pages"
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "Box 1"
keystroke tab & tab -- to go to the next column
keystroke "Box 2"
keystroke tab -- to go to the next row
keystroke "Box 3"
keystroke tab & tab
-- and so on
end tell
end tell
The problem is that I don't know how to enter the upper left box from the AppleScript Editor.

How do I Expand the Text Box in Mail Stationery?

I have a question about using stationery in Mail. Is there anything I can do to make the text box in certain templates to hold more content? It seems that, in some templates (like Bamboo, for example), the text box expands automatically as more content is keyed in. Yet, in the Tack Board template, for example, the text box does not expand beyond what seems to be a fixed length for content. How can I get the text box in Tack Board to expand for additional content?

Please check text input state defined , also if the form is inserted in any container then try to test out the form with different text input boxes in a new page.
Additionally , check the mid-hieght of text inserted in frame.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How can I make a gray box or gray screen in Pages over a few lines of text?

How can I make a gray box or gray screen in Pages over a few lines of text?

Thanks. Almost what I was looking for.
While that makes for a gray over the lines, it still does not form a box.
Any other suggestions to form a solid rectangular gray box?

Not very user-friendly IMHO, but ok here goes:
Place a picture of the band in your body background's CSS
with repeat:
no-repeat. Then add a scrolling division to your html page -
like so:
<div align="right">
<div style="font-family:'Verdana', 'Arial', 'Sans-serif';
font-size:12px;
color:#FFFFFF; text-align: left; background-color:#000000;
border:2px solid;
overflow: auto; padding:10px; width:auto; height:200px;
border-color:
#333333;"><h3>Your heading goes
here</h3><br><br> More text goes
here<br><br> and more text goes
here...</div>
<p> </p>

How to print hidden text in answer box

How can you print the hidden text in answer boxes on PDF forms?

I am not sure I understand your question. Are you importing a PDF with Hidden Fields into FormsCentral?
If this is the case FormsCentral ignores hidden fields and doesn't create column in the response table for those.

How can i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBOX

Hi,
Thank you in advance for your time, the question is how do i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBox, i dont know what code to add kindly help me out. The code i have with me is
VBox {
translateX: 10
translateY: 10
spacing: 20
content: [
Label {
text: "TextBox:"
TextBox {
layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minWidth: 100 width: 150 maxWidth: 200 }
] //contents
//VBox
now the text box has to go to the bottom of the VBox even if the VBox has other objects or if its resized.
Regards,
Kibu

Vbox, acts much like a linear layout like in other languages.
Just keep your declared textbox at the bottom of your content (content :[] ), then the text box will continue to get pushed further down your view, as you add other controls to your content.
layoutX and layoutY will just increase your spacing from the previous declared control in that content.
