How to put boxes around text

Hi
I have a section of text that i want to put a box around as an outline
I managed to do this using the inspector - text - more - border and rules.
everything looks great in the authoring tool in both orientations.
However, When I preview the book on the ipad the boxes are perfect in landscape but the showv outlines for each line of text that ends with a carriage return.
Is this a bug with the software...
Mark..

Govan,
1. It's helpful to give a full and complete description of your problem when first posting in order to get a complete answer and avoid follow up posts.
2. There's no need post the same answer twice.
My answer: The stroke/line around a text box is all or nothing. If you want to eliminate the line between adjacent text boxes you'll have to draw a white line over the offending line to cover it up. Once this is done, select both text boxes and the line (using shift-click or command-click) open the Arrange menu and choose Group (or press Option-Command-G). This will keep the white line in place if the text boxes move.
Good luck,
Terry

How to add box around text in s:TextArea?

Hi,
What I want to do is I want a red box to appear around some text in my s:TextArea, which is editable.
Well, I can add a red box by putting the following after my text area.
<s:Graphic>
    <s:Rect x="20" y="110" width="20" height="20" >
         <s:stroke>
              <s:SolidColorStroke color="0xFF8888"/>
         </s:stroke>
    </s:Rect>
</s:Graphic>
However the user will edit the text, and the text position will change. Also the user will scroll the text area up and down.
So the location of the box should move to still be located around the text.
How can I track the position of the text? Is this a good idea? to track the position of the text and to keep moving the box to keep it on top of the text?
Thanks, Philip

Philip,
How about something like this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Creating boxes around text....

Hi,
I'm hoping there is a better solution to this problem then what I've using.
I would like to be able to create a box around text that is able to resize when increasing/decreasing font.
My working solution is to create a text box with text then use direct selection tool to select the anchors and convert that into a shape, either a rectangle or rounded rectangle. This isn't bad since it allows an equal amount of space around the text but it does have problems. If the font size increases or decreases, the box remains the same. I have to use the Area Type Option to resize the box. Also, if I wanted to do this for lots of boxes then I have to select all of the individual anchors which will be time consuming.
Is there a simpler solution?
Thanks.

Use the Selection Tool (Black Arrow) to select the text and then add a new Fill via the Appearance Panel.
Move the new fill below the Characters item in the Appearance Panel
With that fill highlighted choose Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle

Make the purple box around text and icon of a button go away?

I have noticed that the first button of a group (or the last one pressed) displays a purple box around the text and/or the icon of a button. I don't want this. How do I get rid of it?

Have you tried setting the colour that you want manually? Or perhaps setting the setOpaque() method with false?
Not entirely sure what you mean...what look and feel are you using? Is it the Metal LAF or something else?

Boxes around text in PDF's

Sometimes I get a white hairline box around some text when I export to PDF doc. Is there any cure for that?

That's a transpaerncy flattening artifact called "stitching" that normally doesn't show up in high-resolution printing. The obvious answer is to stop flattening the transparency by exporting to PDF using Acrobat 5 or higher comaptibility.
If you search for stitiching in this forum you will find more information than you can read in a week.

White box around text in pdf

Hi. In InDesign CS3, Photoshop 7.0 & of course Acrobat 7.0
I made a Photoshop PDF & brought it into InDesign to export it into a PDF so I can make crop marks.
The PDF in Acrobat & InDesign both had a white box around some of the text. I had embedded the fonts in Photoshop, so I do not understand why that happened. I went back into Photoshop & just retyped over where the box was appearing & this had solved the problem after I repdfed & imported it into ID. Acrobat viewed the text perfect then.
I want to prevent this from happening in the future, does anyone know what I can do to look out for things like this?

Very sorry--that's certainly information I should have included. I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, version 9.3.3. I'm creating the PDFs from within Microsoft Word 2007 via the Acrobat tab on the ribbon, clicking "Create PDF."

Framemaker 9 PDF exports with red boxes around text areas

I have a doc, made in FM 7, using version 9
When I make a PDF i get boxes around some of the text. It wasn't there during FM design.
example
(see red)
Please help

AxialInfo wrote:
you might consider saving the FM file as MIF and then looking at the MIF using the wonderful freebie MIFBrowser, from Graham Wideman, from here:
Wideman Adobe FrameMaker Topics
to find the problem area do a search for the string that is in the title
"Downblast Centrifugal
Exhaust Ventilator
Roof Mounted
Belt Drive"
although just pasting it here it looks like you might have soft carriage returns in it which will make it necessary to just search for the two-word segments.
After you find the phrase, use the left navigation area to walk "up" the MIF file, looking for the specific structure that those words are in (is it a text box, or rather a graphic frame inside a text box, correct?) Is this an anchored frame, or is it just floating? If it's anchored, where is it anchored?
In the MIF, see if you can identify any odd sounding properties of the text box or graphic frame. The MIF reference manual is a PDF found in the FM documentation folder.
Also, one other possibility is that there's something funky with the red swash that goes across the page that's somehow "contaminating" the text frame. What kind of graphic type is the red swash? Could you take a copy of the FM file and remove the swash and then make a PDF, to see if that solves the red outline.
edit: additional questions: are the swash and the text frame on the body page or on the master page? When Arnis suggested checking for graphics behind the text frame, did you also check the master page(s) as well as the body pages?

Error in printing? White boxes around text?

Right now I'm experencing a problem with printing in
Flashpaper. In my company we're converting brochures over into
Flashpaper as a test. Everything converts over smoothly until we do
a print test. What we're seeing in our print outputs is any area
that contains text on top of a image you'll get an white box around
the text. Although when you view the flashpaper on the monitor you
don't see that white box around the text. It appears that during
print process the text fields retain a white box and doesn't set it
to be transparent.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? And is there a way
around this?

How to put some free text in a page

Hi gurus,
I have to put some free text(Help guidelines) in the page. But the problem is if I put them in a label or textview , the gap between Input field's labels and inputfield is getting incresed by the size of freetext. My free text will be around 3,4 line long.
I know i can break the label into separate part,but as requirement they should be continus, and fields needs to be alligned without extra spaces.
Is there any way to over come this?
Points will be rewarded.
thanks,
Prosun

Patick,
Thanks for your reply.
I still don't know how to do it.
1. Have a look at the documentation for Page 0.
There is no Page 0 in my application
2. You can add your custom stuff to your page templates.
Could you give me more detail on this?

How to put smiley in text area?

Well, I am developing chat application, and I want to know
how to put smilies in some sort of text area, either movie clips or
bitmaps? I know that you can use <img> tag, but picture is
never in line with the text, it always looks wrong.
Sorry if that's been answered before, but I couldn't find
it.

I too am trying to accomplish this, although for a different
purpose. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Wrap Text box around text

Does any one know if iweb offers a feature to shrink the text box so it just fits around the text...I know how to do it manually but was wondering if there was an automated feature....I haven't found it
or if iweb has a feature that allow you to lock objects together so they become one object...I am adding text and a picture to a few boxes that are 2 tone green with a border and it would be great if once I created them I could lock them...I haven't figured out how to do that ...any suggestions?
Thanks
