I can't move text on top of an object

Hi there. No matter what I do with "send to back" or "bring forward," or text wrap or the Ctrl+B function and check the little "ignore text wrap" box, I cannot get my text to show on top of a picture I imported. The text will appear in the text box to the left of the picture, but then runs right under the picture.
Can someone help?
Thanks!

When you check "ignore text wrap", are you sure that it's the text frame with the errant text in it you are selecting?
If you want the text to overprint the picture, you probably don't need text wrap applied to the picture. So check it's
turned off, and then check there isn't another frame there with text wrap turned on.

Can't Move Text Into Vanishing Point Plane

For some reason, when I select text and attempt to paste it into a vanishing point plane, the selection ends up 200% longer than what it should be, and I can't move the text layer into the plane. Screenshot attached.

After you paste the text, (or anything previously copied to the clipboard before entering Vanishing Point) into Vanishing Point, there is no reason why you can't use Free Transform to scale it back to your required size, and aspect ratio. If the text or object is too big, and the FT handles are outside the VP Plane, just drag it down so you can see the upper handles, scale it down, and drag it back into position.
Note: that when using FT Perspective on any object (I am talking about outside of VP) it tends to exaggerate the 'length' because that's how we would probably see the object in real life. Perspective I just about the only time I actually right click and chose an option from within FT, because it is so easy and quick to Ctrl (Cmd) drag a corner or center handle.
Unfortunately you only get the basic FT options of size and aspect ratio from within VP, which is a pity because you can't distort your object to apparently wrap onto a curved surface. I added some FT warp to this text before applying it from within VP. I suspect I am missing a trick or two with VP as I don't use it very often, so I'd love to hear from someone who really has it under control?

I can't move text boxes out of box at top of page

I am using the iWeb SEO program to optimize my site for search engines. In so doing I created my own hyperlinked page names in individual text boxes and then placed them at the very top of the page. The trouble is that they will not show up when I update the site and I cannot move them out of a box at the top of the page.
There is a thin, wide rectangle sitting atop a thin line that runs all the way across the page. I cannot delete that thin rectangular box and if I try to drag it down it hits the line and just pushes the line further down. The same thing happens if I grab any of my navigation boxes (Home, etc.) If I attempt to move them down than that thin line moves down as well pushing the rest of the content down as I go. How do I rescue my navigation boxes from this area and why in the world are they locked in there in the first place???????

Hold the command key to dag textboxes from one layer to another.
And the default navigation links are locked in the naviation layer by design.
To add your own custom navigation, have a look here :

Can't move text in Curriculum Vitae template (Pages 5.0)

I know it's not a good idea to use a template for a CV, but I need one right away (Thursday) and I really like the Pages 5.0 template.
The problem is, I'm trying to gain some space moving up the content of the page (and so using all the empty space at the top), but while I don't have problems moving up the table (on the left), I can't find a way to move the text (on the right) accordingly - like if there's an invisible roof. I tried tempering with the settings, but nothing
Could someone help?

You haven't said what version of Pages, nor which CV template.
However I suspect, but can't be sure that it is Pages 5.2.2 and I think I know the CV template. It has a floating Textbox for the titles on the left and the regular document margins for the details on the right. A rather unwieldy arrangement.
Change the Margins in Document.

Can't move picture to top of cell

When I insert a picture into a table cell, it is somehow restricted rather than free to be moved within the cell from edge to edge. In the Wrap tab, the two radio buttons for "Object placement" are grayed. If I put a check for "Object causes wrap" it moves the picture down, leaving empty space at the top of the cell. Without "Object wrap", it locks onto the left edge of the cell, still with that "extra padding" (sorry to borrow a Microsoft and HTML table term) at the top of the cell, and stays attached to the left edge. In an older document (only an hour older and created in the same version of Pages), I had used the same picture and went through the same weirdness. In that case, I finally overcame this nastiness but I can't remember how (yes, I know I should have made a note but that is water under the bridge now). I can open both documents to compare the old document with the new one. I find no difference in the two documents' settings in any of the tabs of the Inspector [Inspector is God, Inspector is God, Inspector is God...]. I do notice that there is a tiny + sign at the lower right corner of the picture in the new document and not in the old document. It's nothing to do with "Extra space" or "Alpha" as these are exactly the same for each document's picture. If I copy the picture by selecting it in the old document (where the picture behaves politely and has no +) and paste it into the new document cell, the picture acquires that goofy + sign and refuses to allow positioning at the top of the cell.
In Pages Help, if I type "+" and search, nothing is found (my usual result with Pages Help-- one must already know what the + means or one can't search for it).
About this I have two questions:
1) How can I apply qualities to a picture to allow me to position it anywhere I want in a cell, the way I can easily do in my old document?
2) How can I make this the default behavior? In other words, I want to work faster and not have to make individual settings for each and every picture I insert. Obviously, our work process should never have a "leash" unless we decide to apply a leash. That last statement is from the "Let Me Decide" committee.

A symbol like the + one is not indexed in the Help so it's normal that you can't find it.
The only way to search for such an object in the delivered resources is to search in the PDF User Guide delivered with every legal copy of iWork.
The behavior of pictures inserted in a cell is perfectly defined in the Help and in the PDF User Guide.
In the English version of the PDF it's page 148…149.
In the Help, search for the clumsy keyword "Image"
2) How can I make this the default behavior? In other words, I want to work faster and not have to make individual settings for each and every picture I insert. Obviously, our work process should never have a "leash" unless we decide to apply a leash. That last statement is from the "Let Me Decide" committee.
If the program doesn't behave as you want, you are perfectly free to apply the committee statement and decide to drop it
Yvan KOENIG (from FRANCE samedi 27 décembre 2008 13:42:19)
PS If you drag & drop a picture directly in a cell, it will not behave as a cell's background but as an inline object in the cell's contents.
You may reduce its size but you can't enlarge it more than the cell's size.
From the Text Inspector, you may set the 'Inset Margin' to fit your needs.

Can't Move Text Boxes

I am trying to add mobile pages from my mobile site, but when I copy/paste the text boxes from the desktop version, then try to move them, Muse crashes. It also crashed when I created a new text box, added type, and tried to move that. Here is the error message that I received each time:
I have the latest version of Muse installed. I cannot move ANY boxes by clicking and dragging, but I can resize them. I have a ton of pages to do and can't spend the time nudging them or typing in values. I have no idea how to fix this, can anyone help?

How can I put text on top of a graphic in Framemaker 11?

I am using Framemaker 11. When I import an image from Photoshop (EPS file) and put a text box on top, I can't get the text to be on top of the graphic without jumping to the next page. Is there a setting that I'm missing in Framemaker? The image is just borders, like a frame, and I'm trying to put the text inside the blank space.

I suggest you use the text frame tool (to the left of Arnis' supplied screenshot) and set the background of the text frame (the diagonal b/w lines below the text frame tool) to None.
When all else fails, add the text to the graphic, save as PDF or other appropriate format, and place as needed.

Can't move window whose top bar is off screen

I have a window whose top bar is off the screen. The window is a preferences window. Because part of the window is off the screen, I can't properly set the preferences. The program is Quicksilver, but this is a general problem in Mac OSX and I would like a solution for the general problem.
The window got offscreen when I detached an external monitor from my laptop. The window moved from the external screen to my computer's screen, but it moved above the screen. I can see the window in expose, and the bottom of the window normally.
Because the top of the window is above the screen, I am not able to move it. There is no option to maximize the window in the menu bar's "window" setting -- only minimize and close. If I close the window and reopen it, it reopens in the same place.
The general solution on the internet is to use an applescript to move the first window of the first process, but possibly because this window is a preferences window, the applescript does not work.
Is there a way, any way, in mac os x to move any window that is not to drag the top bar? I'm getting really frustrated at this stuck window.

One thing that works sometimes is to change the resolution on your monitor. That might put the window where you can reposition it, then you can put the resolution back where you like it.

How can I have text on top of an image?

say i want to do something like this for my site:
http://www.whspconsumercare.com/images/RxDesign.jpg
what would be the best way to have those colored rounded
boxes in the background, and be able to type or place an image over
it? I tried having it as the background image, and putting the text
in a <div>, but this way the text is not always positioned
properly depending on how large the browser window is, etc.
any suggestions?

How can I move text onto the following line in CSS without making a new paragraph?

Hello there,
I want to do the follow:
Name of company,
Address of company 1,
Address of company 2,
Address of company 3,
When I press enter to move the text underneath the previous text, it starts a new paragraph which I don't want. How can I simply get it to flow onto the next line without creating a new paragraph?
Thanks so much in advance.

You can use 

Address 01 
Address 02 
Address 03 

I'd probaly type it out in Code View but I think you can use shift+enter

Can't move text in Acrobat 9

We create a document in Word 2007 and save as
.pdf. We then use the text touch up tool to edit certain text and to move certain
text. We used to do this in Acrobat 5 without an issue, but in Acrobat 9 there are no handles on the text
boundary after selecting with the text touch up tool. Please help.

I upgraded from Acrobat 9 Std to Acrobat 9 Pro and all is well.

Can u move text messages to a folder?

i have a iphone 4, is there any way to keep or save text messages u get or to put them into a new folder on your phone?
also when i search on my phone for texts by certain people is there a way to delete all the results/texts in one go?

The answer to your first question - there are apps that will allow you to extract your texts and save them. Try a google as there are many different ones both free and paid that you might want to peruse. A lot of people will offer up opinions on which is best but there are many different choices.
You can delete an entire conversation by right swiping on the person in Messages then hitting Delete.

Can I move text messages between 2 handsets?

If I upgrade my iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4 / 4S, will it transfer all my text messages over to the new handset?

so your saying if we sync our 3gs before syncing our new phone, it will transfer all text messages to the new device?
what about voice mail? will those get transfered too or is there a way to get them off the 3gs?

Animation: how can I move objects (and their transform keyframes)?

Hi,
I have created a project with a group of layers which all move (have transform keyframes set up).
Now I want to move the group, but when I do this and then run the animation, the position of all the transform keyframes I have set up remain in the same place.
Is there some way to move a group of objects and the location of their transform keyframes at the same time, or will I have to go through each keyframe and move them individually?
Thanks!

You need to get some understanding of HTML and CSS to know
why building a
web page is not like using a page layout program or even a
word processor.
Unfortunately that will require some effort on your part.
You cannot just place things on the page in HTML - you need
to build an HTML
infrastructure to hold the elements you want to appear on the
page, and to
hold them in the location where you want them to appear. As a
simple
example, consider a 1 row by 2 column table, where each
column is set to 50%
width, and the table itself is 800px wide. An image placed
into the second
column will be located exactly 400px from the left margin of
the page
(assuming a) the image is less than 400px wide, b) the table
has zero
borders, cellspacing and cellpadding, and c) there is nothing
wider than
400px in the first column.
Make sense?
