How to stop text being over-written by other text?

I am using columns with text boxes.
Each column has its own unlinked text box.
EAch column has its own article and does not logically need to be linked.
Now, text from one text boxed column is overwriting the previous text boxed column.
What am I doing wrong?

govan,
I'm going to repeat the suggestion that I made in response to your earlier question. You didn't say, but I'm betting that you are still working in Word Processor mode when, if you are doing a newsletter, you would be better off in Page Layout mode.
Try this. Open a new Pages document, selecting the Blank Page Layout Template.
Then place as many text boxes on the blank page as you want to have columns, and take some time to get them arranged to your liking.
Next, go the the Pages Pane (where the page thumbnails are) and Select the page that you have created. Then CTRL-click and select duplicate. This will create additional an page with exactly the same layout. Do this until you have enough pages for your document.
Now populate your text boxes. You can cut and paste from your earlier attempt. I think that you will find this far simpler than trying to force a word processor to do a newsletter job.

  • Ubuntu 12.10 Firefox 18.0.2 - text display is being over-written by smudges of colour and grey

    I have an intermittent problem that text displayed on a web-page is over-written by grey and sometimes coloured smudges and lines that prevent the text from being read. The smudges and lines can diappear dependuing on movement of the mouse, but they also come back again with further movement.
    For example, this problem occurred when I followed the instructions for installing the Troubleshooter add-on.
    I also have several problems with Firefox 18.0.2 freezing when running on Ubuntu 12.10.

    Please create a screenshot of the problem you're seeing by following the guide mentioned at [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]].
    Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the '''Browse...''' button below the ''Post your reply'' box. This will help us to visualize the problem.

  • How to stop text box on iWeb page from automatically reverting to hyperlink when I click 'save'

    As far as I see, the main text box in the body section of my iWeb page reverts to a hyperlink (connecting to a file) when I click save.  I don't know how the hyperlink got activated to begin with--I must have done something, but I don't know what it was.  I tried this many times to fix it: went to Inspector "hyperlink" section, activated the text box in the page, un-clicked "make hyperlinks active" (so they are inactive), then un-clicked "Enable as a hyperlink."  That much works--the hyperlink (little white arrow in blue circle) disappears from the lower right corner of text box.  But as soon as I save (command S), the text box reverts to a hyperlink. 
    If I don't click save and move around the pages, it does not revert to a hyperlink.  It only reverts to a hyperlink when the file is saved.  Why is it doing this and how to stop this from happening--how to permanently return the text box to a non-hyperlink?
    The website page is: http://www.usronline.net/USR/VedicResearch.html.  If you click anywhere randomly in the main text, you'll get a prompt to download a PDF file.  This should not be, but I can't get this hyperlink to go away for good.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Please pardon the reply delay--a big project deadline had to be met.  Now back to this work:
    Yes, the text in the oval object had a drop shadow (the oval object itself did not).  I removed the drop shadow from the text, but the image file icon stayed in the right corner of the oval object.  I deleted the text and then the image file icon disappeared.  But as soon as I typed text again inside the oval object (not even pasting the previous text) the image file icon appeared again.  I deleted the oval object entirely and simply typed the text inside the main text box itself.  The image file icon that was attached to that oval object is gone (along with the oval object).
    Still the image file icon is attached to the main text box, though.  I again tried to uncheck the Enable as hyperlink (same process as described in first posting) with that oval object gone, but when I "save" again it reverts to a hyperlink. 
    Next I tried this: I copied the text from the problem text box and pasted it into another text box (outside of the problem one).  Still in the new text box with the pasted text, the image file icon shows in the upper right corner. 
    I also removed all the drop shadow features from this main text box (there was one more, on some words typed in the main text box), but it is still showing as an image.
    I don't know how it became an image file, and I'm still stumped as to how to fix it (short of forgetting about trying to figure out how it became an image and just retyping all text into a new text box).
    The link you provided for "Web Safe Fonts" is returning this: "The server at www.ampsoft.net is taking too long to respond."  I'm using Arial and Georgia (Georgia only on the menu and header text) in the site, and I had verified before designing the site that these are web safe, so I had thought they were.
    If you or anyone have any further suggestions or suspicions on this matter, I'd be glad to hear them.
    Thank you.

  • Images being over-written when using MECCM

    Hi,
    We are using MDM catalog with SRM7.0. We are adding the images in the data manager. We have also added the field image to be displayed in the catalog. But every time we run MECCM, for uploading new data, the images stored for the previously for materials is over-written as blank.
    Although the images are visible in the data manager. Kindly help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,
    Bhakti

    Hi Masa,
    Thanks for your reply. The issue has been resolved. Actually, we had just configured the image setting for one user only. Whereas, we were checking the catalog from another users id.
    Now, we have done the settings for "default" user & our issue has been resolved.
    Thanks,

  • Itunes match... how to stop music being part of it

    so 3 weeks ago.. i decided to sign up to itunes match and that was the biggest mistake of my life..
    2/3rds of music was fine.. other 1/3 (approx 1000 songs) didn't sync and wouldn't...
    now got the money refunded back and cancelled itunes match subscription but am still struggling in trying to get itunes library back in a working state before I start syn'cing/backing up my 3 devices.
    have now got my library back from a backup.. but "icloud status" for all my music is showing as "waiting" (and in left hand :column, music, films and tv programmes) still have a cloud symbol next to them...how do i stop the library being part of itunes match..
    when i go to store menu, it says "turn itunes match on".. which makes me think itunes match is off but clearly it does not..
    tried customer support and they have been rubbish..
    please help.
    my recommendation.. dont subscribe to itunes match..

    If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Before formatting your drive change the iPod update setting to "manually manage songs and playlists": Managing Your Songs Manually
    One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.

  • How to stop changes being synced from ipad mobile back to lightroom?

    Until now, noone in my family has been able to look at any of my hundreds of thousands of photos as they are all locked up in lightroom except the small subset I upload to facebook or similar.
    Now with lightroom mobile, they can see all my hundreds of collections.
    And change them.
    Seriously, how do I stop my 3 year old and wife from destroying my man hours of editing?
    How do I make the sync to ipad one way, or make them read only on the ipad?
    Without this, sadly, light room mobile is useless.
    Any solutions appreciated.

    I am so sad I could cry.  Luckily I only installed the trial version of 5.5 so I can go back to my lightroom 4, and none will be able to see my millions of family photos again.
    I will remove lightroom mobile immediately from my wifes 64GB ipad (i don't have or want one), as my 3 year old uses it every day, which would mean ll my photos getting destroyed in minutes.
    In so many years, it is astounding that I dont have a way for people to be able to see my 1 TB of photos locked up in lightroom, unless I tediously export them to disk, and then copy them over by hand to external devices each time I produce new photos, which is too much work.
    This is such a huge missed opportunity for adobe to provide a product which lets friends and family view their hard work at home.
    Personally, I would never edit photos on an ipad, I have 2 calibrated 30" IPS monitors, a workstation with 32GB ram and twin SSDs for lightroom work (I do weddings also).  But I do want for family to be able to look at them and use them, without having to give them my workstation.

  • How to stop text labels on numeric controls from disappeari​ng

    Got a nuisance problem I'd like to correct.  When I've got a previously defined numeric control (such as a slide or knob) with text labels, upon entering the control properties window and selecting the "text labels" tab, the first label defaults to clear/empty.  This is a nuisance because the text has to be retyped every time when modifying the text labels.  Is this a bug or a feature?  Is there any way to turn it off?  Thanks.
