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.)

    If length of one item in the list box happens to big then the width of the list boxes
    will increase.
    I want to maintain the consitent size of all the list boxes.
    Pls let me know

    You can do something with DHML but this does not work in netscape. Depends on what you are looking for.

  • How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

    how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
    Without free hand creating the sizing?

    Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

  • How to increase page size for balance file upload in Workspace.

    Hi All,
    Please suggest how to increase page size for balance file upload in shared Workspace pages.
    Thanks,

    A word of caution is in order regarding changing from facing to non-facing and back again. If you have overridden master page items, you'll get a second, non-overridden copy on all the even-number pages when that half of the master page is re-applied. This applies to master text frames which override automatically when text flows into them as well as to objects you manually override. I think you'll find this particular technique also only works for master text frames, whereas the Layout Adjustment should work in all situations where frames snap to guides.

  • How to copy/paste anchor text box to its anchor point in text and delete all empty anchors?

    hi all
    i have a document of few pages but one story. The right column is the main text box and on many places anchored text boxes are placed which appeared on the left column as shown below.
    i want text of each anchor-text-box to be cut from its place and paste at its insertion/anchor point and delete all empty anchored boxes.
    I am trying since morning but i unable to reach anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be helpful.
    virender

    Ok, let's say you have one main text box (not anchored) and three text boxes that are anchored to text within it. The first one is anchored with text, the second one is unanchored, and the third one is empty (I'm not going to get into inline anchoring vs. custom anchoring since you didn't bring it up in your post).
    We cycle through the items on the page:
    function main(){
      var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
      var myPages = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
      for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++){
        var myPage = myPages[i];
        //Checks that the page is valid, and that it is not a master page. If either is true, skips to the next page.
        if (myPage.isValid == false) continue;
        if (myPage.parent instanceof MasterSpread) continue;
        var myItems = myPage.allPageItems;
        for (var j = 0; j < myItems.length; j++){
          //Current item.
          var myItem = myItems[j];
          //If myItem doesn't have a Character parent, it is not anchored.
          //The first and third text frames would fail this test.
          if (!(myItem.parent instanceof Character)) continue;
          //We only care about text frames.
          if (!(myItem instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
          //I think the only way this would happen would be if you had an image or
          //something else unexpected within the frame. I check for it so no content
          //is inadvertently lost.
          else if (myItem.texts.length > 1) continue;
          //If we're still in this iteration of the loop, all qualifications are met.
          //Flatten the text frame.
          //I don't use layers that often so, to me, flatten makes sense. You may want
          //to use a different term if there's a chance for confusion.
          flattenItem(myItem);
    function flattenItem(funcItem)
         //Hold onto the anchor character.
        var myParent = funcItem.parent;
         //Duplicate the text from within the frame so that it appears right after the anchor.
         //There may be other methods, but this works for me. I try to avoid copy/paste
         //so as not to deal with any clipboard mishaps. I added a check in case of empties.
         if (funcItem.texts.length > 0){funcItem.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myParent.insertionPoints[0]);}
         //Replace the anchor character itself with a space (or whatever) which also
         //deletes the text frame it was anchoring.
        myParent.contents = " ";
    I guess the takeaway might be that you're not looking at the main text frame and then checking to see if anything is anchored to it. You're looking at each text frame and figuring out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.

    Now What i do give me suggessin
    Thanks In Advance

    Hi,
    you don't have to stop your database to increase the file size - it's an online operation. If you are more familiar with SQL code here is what you have to do:
    use <SID> /*Put your database name here, e.g. PRD*/
    go
    select file_id, name, physical_name, size
    from sys.database_files
    where type_desc = 'ROWS'
    In the resultset you will find a column called 'name' - that are the logical file names that we need for the increase. If you have a standard installation the names should look like <SID>DATA{1-4}. Next step ist the actual increase of the files:
    /*Replace <SID> with your DB name*/
    alter database <SID> modify file(name='<SID>DATA1', size=25GB) /*25GB ist just an example*/
    alter database <SID> modify file(name='<SID>DATA2', size=25GB)
    alter database <SID> modify file(name='<SID>DATA2', size=25GB)
    alter database <SID> modify file(name='<SID>DATA4', size=25GB)
    Thats it. If you run the first statement again, you will see that the filesize has been increased. You can also check on  filesystem level.

    Sven

  • Is it possible to scale a text box by % but also transform the contents?

    Is it possible to scale a text box by % but also transform the contents?
    Object > Transform > Scale only transforms the box.
    Grabbing and dragging a corner while holding shift/ctrl is not accurate enough.
    Thanks

    Object > Transform > Scale only transforms the box.
    Object -> Transform -> Scale of 200% when applied to a text frame full of text works here: frame doubles in size, text doubles in font size.  (CS5.5. and CS6 on Win7)  It works on images, too.
    In fact, I almost can't reproduce the behavior you report at all. The exception is this: If in CS5.5. I fill a frame with text, and then select the frame with the Direct Select tool (the white arrow) and use Object -> Transform -> Scale, then just the frame changes in size, and the text doesn't change. When you select the frame, which selection tool are you using?

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the Location Bar?

    I can use Alt+D to get to the Location Bar to type in a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page has been opened, by using a short-cut key? I didn't recognize any of the commands in the Shortcut Keys page as being what I want.

    This was helpful, but didn't really answer the question. Pressing Tab when I"m on the google Location Bar takes me to the search text box, which is what my motivation for writing the question was, but I notice that on many pages, it doesn't work. This page, for instance.
    I went to the about:config page and changed the <b>accessibility:tabfocus</b> from 1 (tab through every element) to 5 (only tab to the text boxes and links) but it seems to still tab through every element.

I would like them to be able to sign it without downloading it, Thanks.

    What software does the client use to view the PDF file?

  • Overset text will not go into the text box that is part of the master for the next page

    I am trying to (first time user) set up a simple trade-paperback sized book with some photos.  Have set up several masters for chapter title pages, chapter inner pages, etc.  When I copy text out of Word into InDesign, (copy/paste) the text overset box appears.  I load it, then go to the next page, which I have already formatted using one of the masters.  But when I select the desired text box ((Ctrl/shft) and click, the overset text forms a new text box, What am I doing wrong? thanks

    I have done, this did work right for at least the left side of the spread, but never for the right side -
    Make sure the left and right page master page text frames are threaded View>Extras>Show Text Threads. Here I have left and right page text boxes threaded on my A-master spread:
    Checking Smart Text Reflow can make adding long text to master frames easier:
    With Smart Text Reflow enabled I've released the  master page text box on page 1, note the released frame has a solid border, while the unreleased master page frames on subsequent pages are dotted indicating they are still master page items and not page items.
    The result of the paste:
