I am having trouble typing text in the book module in Lightroom 4.3

Hi, I am trying to create a book in the "book module" in Lightroom 4.3. Putting pictures in the picture containers doesn't seem to be a problem, but when I try to type in text into the text containers it will not let me.  I click onto an empty text container, it highlights, then I cannot get a cursor to appear and it will not let me type in text. I have watched several videos now on making books in the book module and all they do is click on the text container and start typing, it looks like it should be easy. Please help, thanks

  • Text in the Book Module of Lightroom 4

    To add text to the Book Module, you can olny paste, meaning that you have to have a separate word processor. Why can't the Text Tool of photoshop be added to the Book Module?
    Once I added text to the Book, I could no copy a complete paragraph, I was allowed to copy one line at a time.

    I am working on a book in the book module of Lightroom. When I started, I didn't realize that there was a page limit of 240 pages. I am going to need to break this book up into two books now. Is there a way to take pages from one book to start a second book without having to "redo" the pages again in the new book?

  • My (saved) book totally disappeared from the Book module in Lightroom

    Dear +Adobe Photoshop Lightroom,
    I have been working for the past 100 hours or so on a 200+ page book in the book module in LR4.
    Went to work on a second book that I had just begun to organize and came back to a full filmstrip (including the usage numbers showing me that all of the images had been used including a tiny 2 for a cover image) and the 4 blank pages we all see upon starting a project.
    My entire book was gone. Poof!
    I'm surprised you didn't hear my scream all the way in San Jose.
    This couldn't be...I had officially saved the book several weeks ago when I first began it and had been working on it steadily ever since.
    (For the record, I am working on a Mac OS X v10.7.5 and updated LR to v4.2.)
    I can't begin to tell you the sick feeling over losing this amount of work.
    I went to your LR forums to see if this was unique to me (Did I inadvertently hit a button I shouldn't have?)
    I have always felt very confidant in LR's "saving" and "backup" abilities. Now I am devastated and have lost total confidence.
    Do I try again in LR or move to another program?
    So a friend helped me find these:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4303611
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4322352
    (Which I've read very thoroughly and tried everything suggested.)
    When I opened my most recent backup of LR, all the text was missing and many of the images were in color (this is a book of monochrome imagery)
    Huh?
    When I went into my Time Capsule backups, same thing.
    No text and many images were reset to original RAW files as if no post-processing had been done.
    Huh? (Again)
    The thing that is genuinely unsettling is Adobe's lack of response to the issues expressed in the forums.
    Surely the book making ability is an important one to your audiences?
    Did I mention how sick I am over this?
    So my question is this...can you help me? Can anyone there help me?
    Because I really need help right now and don't want to lose confidence in a company that has always provided me with the tools I make my living from.
    Or should I put this out publicly.
    Right now I want to scream "Do not under any circumstances make a book using the book module in LR 4 until this devastating issue is addressed!!!"
    (Fortunately, I have over 2,000,000 followers here on Google+ but not to worry...many do not speak English or know Adobe as anything more than material used to build huts.)
    I am trying to stay reasonable. But again, I am very concerned over the lack of responsiveness on Adobe's part. Perhaps that will help get this problem addressed. Or more importantly, help a few other creative folks avoid how absolutely devastated I feel right now.
    (Big *******' sigh)
    Please respond. Please.

    It states in the iBooks Store that this book can only be read on an iPad or Mac.

  • In the book module of Lightroom 4 I would like to create a two-page spread with a text block

    I'd like to use a single photo as a crossover through the gutter. I do not see an option to include a text block in such a layout. Am I missing something?

    I think many of us were mislead by Adobe's labeling of the boxes as "text" and "caption" - at least I was, initially.
    The text options of the templates are not very versatile since neither their location nor their size can be changed, once it is fulf with text - that's it.
    The surprising - and unexpected-  feature is the caption box that in reality is the needed text box since
    a) it adapts in size to the amount of text - and to the size of the font,
    b) the text can be moved within the box with the Padding Feature, and
    c) the box can be moved up or down with the Offset slider.
    To make the caption box that versatile you have to uncheck <Align with photo> in the Caption panel.

  • Lightroom 5.2 - Background Image on a Two-Page spread in the Book Module

    Is there a way i can make the Background image spread in the two-page spread in the Book Module. Currently i see the same Background image repeating which is annoying. Or is there a workaround. I'm using LightRoom 5.2. Please Advise.

    I have an even simpler method. I use MyPublisher to print my books. I select their page layout for a two-page spread, drag and drop the image. DONE!  I understand that most people have their favorite places to have work done. I have been extremely pleased with MyPublisher.com, so I haven't even tried the book module in Lightroom.

    i am having trouble sending texts and pictures.  If I have imessage on, nothing goes or everything goes to family phones

    On each devoce Look at
    Settings > Messages > Send and receive from
    Make sure these settings are correct.
    Then look at MMS in the same area. Male sure MMS is turned on and check to ensure your carrier included MMS in your cellular plan.

  • Having trouble threading frames, getting the wrong loaded cursor, not the chain-links

    Hi there, I am trying to thread frames, which hasn't been an issue for me previously. The cursor usually shows the chain link icon when hovering over the second frame, but today it is showing a square icon and when I try to click into the the second frame instead, it tries to create a new text frame. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    i had put the two text boxes on different layers before to show that they were separate frames, they actually live on one layer together.

  • The problem is with the new operating system  and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.   From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow.

    The problem is with the new operating system  and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.
    From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
    Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • I'm having trouble staying connected to the internet

    I'm having trouble "staying" connected to the internet.

    hmmmmmmm..........
    How are you connected to "the internet?"  There are many ways & you provided none.
    If wireless, are you using one of Apple's routers, or a 3rd part one?  If the latter post in their forums or contact their tech support department.
    Last but not least: 
    Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.

  • I am having trouble with Itunes registering the Mp4 video that has been converted.  Help!!

    I am having trouble with Itunes registering the MP4 video that has been converted.  Help!

    What do you mean by iTunes registering the mp4?
    Which iTunes, on iPad, iTunes is a Store and it won't take your .mp4.
    On pc, check if it supports the mp4 (there are a number of different mp4 format) you have converted.
    Can you import it to computer iTunes?

    Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

    I am having trouble getting mail from the shaw server that my new iMac is connected to. I have to reboot the system to get Outlook for Mac to access the system and obtain new messages. Any ideas? Its at the point where I have started using the PC again as its less trouble.......

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
