I can't change a shape or a text box fill color

Hello community,
I used to change the colors of my shapes and text boxes, but suddenly I can't do it anymore. I restarted my Mac 'cause it appeared to be something about the memory... but unsuccessfully...
This is how I do: I select my shape, then go to the Graphic window, select Color Fill (then a white or a grey appears into my shape), and I double-click at the color menu to change it, but the shape remains the same (white or grey). I can choice between fill and no fill, but not change the color!
Does it happened with anybody yet?
Thanks a lot,
Dea.

Try quitting iWeb, deleting the preference file - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist,
restarting your Mac and running Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Deleting the .plist fixes a lot of things but I rarely have to do it as I restart a lot and run Disk Utility at least once a week.

    You can't do that in Pages. If you need text in an arch use Art text 2 lite, free from the Mac AppStore.

  • How can I change the shape of a photo in iPhoto?

    Can I change the shape of a picture to an oval?

    No. You'd need an external editor for that kind of stuff:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Of course, you may not want to change the shape of a photo which would distort it. You may want to print it in an oval shape but undistorted. I'd use a page layout app like Pages for that,

  • Can you change the shape of a box in Visio?

    Can you change the shape of a box in Visio? I want to change a process box to a data box without loosing all of my data fields. Silly me I just want to be able to highlight the box right click and change the shape to a parallelogram.

    shape swapping is a standard feature in v2013. In v2010 you can use a 3rd party utility

  • Can you change the wording of a text that someone sent you ?

    my sister sent someone a text , they in turn showed me on their phone with her name/number at the top of the feed  to prove she said something to this person about this certain subject . She is denying everything in this text and said he altered it to show me what he wanted me to see . Can you change the wording on a text sent from someone in their feed with their name/number at the top of the feed? Does this make sense ? What I do know is , you can copy and paste and change the wording when sending that text to someone else , but he showed me his own phone with these incriminating texts.

    No you can't

  • How to change the font size of Text Box  Properties Appearance tab into 2 decimal digit.

    How to change the font size of Text Box  Properties Appearance tab into 2 decimal digit. I am uanble to modify it to 5.38 pt for example. Its only allowing to 1 decimal place.

    Click on each field and the choose Properties from either File menu (or if on Mac hold dow mouse button until context menu appears choose properties)
    go to Font
    choose desired size and type font,you can choose to make this the default.
    Do this with each field.
    Or if you have a lot of fields:
    while one is selected select all of them
    then go to fonts in properties
    change Font and size and make default.

    How to change the font size of Text box tool ?

    I need to know how to change the font size. The default font size is too big.

    I do not have AA6 available right now (I can check at home this evening). I am also using AA Pro, not Std. In AA7, there is a text box tool that is a commenting tool. When I started typing, a properties toolbar came up that had the font size and such. I haven't figured out how to get the toolbar after the fact. In AA8, I selected the text box tool and then went to view and selected the properties bar (the font size and all showed then), or use Ctrl-E when editing the text. I have not been able to figure out how to edit the text in a text box after you have created it - think it is a mental block right now. Bill

    I've gotten a little further on this. The dynamic select is
    working fine. It's the "a href" code that isn't. I'm wondering if
    someone can look at this line and tell me if it's okay to build the
    query string this way. The storeid comes through fine but I'm still
    not getting the employeeid value to pass. Here's line that's not
    working:
    td><a href="registerStoreCust.php?storeid=<?php echo
    $row_storeRS['storeid']; echo "&employeeid="; echo
    $_GET['employeeLM']; ?>">Register
    Customer</a></td>

  • How do you change the colour of the text box?

    A lot of the text box options seem different for DC. Is there a way to change the colour of the text box that you create/the borders etc.?
    In the past, you would just press Ctrl+E and a toolbar would pop up so that you could fiddle w/ the colour of the background etc. This seems to be gone.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi, Rahul,
    Thank you for replying back.
    Unfortunately, I have tried what you have suggested and the only thing that I get is a box that says "Properties: No current selection."
    Could you please possibly see what it is that I am doing wrong?
    I created the text box, wrote whatever inside, clicked somewhere outside the box and then clicked on the text box and I still only get "Properties: No current selection."
    Thank you,

  • Can I change the shape of the page background?

    For instance, round the corners of a straight rectangular template? I've seen that I can do this with no page fill, but I'd like to have a round-cornered page backgound with a color fill. Is that possible?

    Lola,
    I just played with it a few minutes to see if I could modify a blog and make it do some tricks.
    http://www.mireillegreen.com/Site_2/Blog/Blog.html
    I used the same shape that I had used earlier to show you that you could change the shape of your page if that is what you wanted. So the entry is OK I changed the shape of the mask to go with the circle idea that is in the blog entry click on the travel whatever and you will see that the photo is in an oval, but it does not get pickedup as an oval in the archive. So you could modify the shape of your blog page but you would have to keep in mind that the oval design would still have to deal with some square or rectangular shapes somehow.
    Thanks for asking this was fun to explore.

  • Can I change a shape into a mask?

    I drew a detailed shape and keyframed it's movement.
    The reason I did so that in my video their is a tree moving from the right of the screen to the left. I want my title to reveal as the tree is passing by ( like the title is there in the video).
    Still learning about masks and how to do this kind of stuff. It looks like to achive what I want, I need my shape to be a mask.
    Can I switch the shape to a mask? Or do I have to start all over again?
