I used to have a text tool box?????

When using Photoshop Elements 8, I used to double click on my text and a white text "tool box" would open where I could preview the different fonts, change the opacity, etc. Since my computer crashed and I had to reinstall PSE8 I no longer have this function. I used it all of the time, anyone know if it was changed with a recent update?

I'm a little confused about what you describe.
This is what i see in the pse 8 editor when i double click on a text layer in the layers panel.
Your version was different?

Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide?

Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide, each with it's own possible answer without having to have a separte submit button for each?
Message was edited by: Suzanne Petty

I'm using Captivate 5 - I'm thinking I would like to put two or three text entry boxes on one slide - say labeled Name, Email and Company I'd like to have any answer be accepted, yet I still want to have the answers included with the quiz reporting for our main quiz which I set up using a question pool.
I understand I can uncheck the validate user input box in the general menu in the property inspector, but that also makes the reporting menu inactive for the text entry box.
Is there a way to make validate user input accept any answer that is typed in the box, but still have the answers reported with my quiz?
Thanks

What controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?

Hi, I have had a student ask me a question I cannot answer: what controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?
I have only seen it appear as a black semicircle over each letter, but at a different computer in our training facility, this same tool appears as an aqua-green highlight.
Is it a preference I never noticed? Thanks for any info.

What version of Acrobat? What operating system?

Anybody have this TEXT TOOL ISSUE with CS5???

i'm on a pc that meets all system requirements for cs5 photoshop and notice that whenever i use the text tool and try to increase/decrease the size, leading or anything, i can not see my results in real time, i have to manually CLICK outside of the text area or in the gray area of the document for photoshop to actually make the change, almost like when you use the transform tool and resize things but have to *commit* the changes, so imagine if you were doing that only you couldnt actually see what size you were resizing your object to.
someone else in the office seems to be having this exact same issue as well. it's like closing your eyes to do your work and then opening them back up once you *think* you have the right font size or leading.
any help would be much appreciated!!!!!

If it's a "Mobility" card then chances are it's in a laptop, and many laptop manufacturers are required to be the source for driver updates. You might have
to check with the computer maker.
If there's not a driver update for it, it's possible you could try downgrading the driver to an older version if one can be found.
What operating system are you running (XP, Vista, 7, 32 or 64 bit)?
I see they have a new release for your card for Vista and Windows 7 32 bit, for example, here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-32.aspx

Using Value in a Text Entry Box for Calculation in a Variable

I have a project where I ask the user to fill in their name in one entry box and their two-digit age in another text entry box. Later in the project, I want to ask them to think back to when they were 6 years old and how they would describe themselves at that time. (the project is on self-awareness). To make this as personable as possible, I thought it would be neat to say. "(Name Variable), think back to about (Years Since 6)years ago, when you were just about 6 years old". I am having trouble getting the "Years Since 6" variable to work, and would like to know if it is possible.
I have set up the text entry box variable as "v_age"
I have set up a variable as "v_age6" with a value of "6"
I have set up the result variable as "v_result_age6"
I have set up a standard action with a mathematical expression that reads "v_result_age6 = v_age - v_age6"
The variable output does not show on the stage in project preview mode, and I think it's because there is only one variable with an assigned value in the equation. The "v_age" variable does not have an assigned value because that is a text entry box.
Is it possible to use a value typed in from a user as a variable to do math with?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum,
Each TEB has an associated variable, its generic name is the same as the TEB. But you'd better link your variable with the more significant name to the TEB. Have a look at this real old blog post, still valid (although maybe the screenshots are bit out of date):
http://blog.lilybiri.com/timesaving-tip-create-associated-variable-for
BTW: you didn't need to create an extra variable for the number 6. This action would have done as well:
Expression v_resultage6 = v_age - 6
How do you trigger the action, by which event?

Unable To Use Flash Drawing Or Text Tools--Help!

I'm a Flash CS4 user and two days ago started having a strange problem--when I use any of the drawing or text tools in
Flash, my work disappears as soon as I let go of the mouse button! I've tried reinstalling Flash and that didn't work, and I can't think of any internal settings that could be causing this. And strangely, I'm running Fireworks CS4 on the same computer and am not having any problems with it. Has anyone experienced this? Any help would be appreciated.

Embed fonts using the Edit Document Text tool

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7c75.w.h tml

Thanks Steve. I guess it shouldn't be a problem then. Both of the documents would have been created by aperture and therefore be of the same resolution to start with.
One more question if I might: I'm test-driving Acrobat Pro (don't know much about it yet). I've been using Acrobat standard for simple things like adding/replacing pages. Would Acrobat standard save at the same quality of the original document or is there some loss of quality there versus using Acrobat Pro?
Thanks again,
Michael

SSRS: we have rectangle as object in tool box, Can we have image as tool in tool box (Please read)

Hi Friends,
Please help me in below,
we have 'rectangle' in a tool box, we have 'text box' in tool box.
likewise, Can i have Image in tool box(custom image), which works as text box. Means, I should be able to write 'custom text' on that image. and also can setup auto grow if text is big.
Sorry for the poor explaination..
Please do the needful, Please ask for anything.
Thanks in advance,
Parixit

Hi Parixit,
If I understand correctly, you want to use image as a container, then we can write something on the image. In this scenario, we can drag a rectangle in the design surface, add the image as the BackgroundImage of the rectangle. Then insert a textbox with
some custom text to the rectangle. After this, we had simulated the image container to achieve your requirement.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Can't edit text using "Add text" tool

Hello, I click "Add Text" in "Content Editing" and add some text into a PDF document. Then, I save the pdf. Then, I re-open the document and I can't edit the same text using the same "Add Text" tool OR delete that piece of text.

by the way, when you said
Test Screen Name wrote:
What you are doing is adding comments, in the Acrobat sense, rather than text (which is part of the original page). Comments are separate. So try the commenting tools.
did you mean something like this: http://www.nitropdf.com/pdf/EN/Nitro_Pro_8_User_Guide.pdf under "Annotation layer and content layer" pages 251-252. Also, when I added text using "Add Text" did it go into content layer so that I was unable to edit it after saving using acrobat ?

Problem with "--21474836,,(" in my text tools

i have a CS4 on Windows7 64 Professional Polish ...
this text: --21474836,,(
shows up in the text tool box - it disturbs my work
do you know how to fix it?
thx for help

Reset the panels, trash the PS prefs and also look into your system's language & region settings for the default value unit and delimiter setting. Also check for "bad" fonts.

IS there a way to fix the issue with text list boxes where they shift (empty space is smaller than the text size) when two text lsit boxes are side by side?

Currently I have a webpage I designed for a company where I have multiple text list boxes side by side for the purpose of displaying data in each one based on a category in the database. So a text list box for the primary key, name, serial number, etc. I have to use Firefox as it typically works best for printing and functionality for the page. The single issue we are having is that in Firefox if the field is null as far as text the text are shrinks meaning all the data in that list box shifts up and is no longer in line with its congruent data in the other text list boxes. In other browsers that's not a problem and everything stays lined up regardless of whether there's text in the box or not.
Unfortunately I cannot provide a link but if contacted I will provide screen shots.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

Text entry box question

Hey all, I am currently working on a project and have run
into a snag and cant seem to find the answer, or even if what i
need can be done.
Question 1: how do I advance a slide with the correct entry
of a text field without a button or keypress?
Question 2: if this is not possible, how can i have a text
entry box check for correct input using a custom button?
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
M. Anderson

Hi M. Anderson
The first question may be accomplished if (and only if) the
last letter the user is supposed to type is unique among all the
letters. For example, BOFFO would not work. O occurs twice. But
LIFE would work, because E is unique. You could then configure the
letter E to be the shortcut for the Text Entry Box.
For the button, it's pretty easy. Click the Options tab and
look at your choices. Make sure the "Button" option contains a
check mark. After you dismiss the dialog, you end up with a rather
generic looking button. But once you enable the button, you may
then double-click it to edit its properties. You could choose an
image, or you could make it invisible and position the invisible
button over another image you placed on the slide as a simple image
object.
Hopefully this helps some... Rick

Acrobat X Pro Ctrl E option for Edit Document Text tool

Hi,
When I use the "Edit Document Text" tool (formerly TouchUp Text) in Adobe X Pro and press Ctrl E, it's saying "Properties No current selection".
However, pressing Ctrl E on other tools such as Comments, Link etc, the Properties toolbar is showing properly. And when I switch back into using the "Edit Document Text" tool, the Properties toolbar will show as grayed out.
I tried using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and it's doing the same thing.
Is the Ctrl E Properties toolbar is not really available for "Edit Document Text" tool? Do I really have to right click on the area and choose Properties?

Hi gracet41265898,
Please refer the page associated with this Link (Unable to access Acrobat's Tool properties toolbar (greyed out, or "no current selection") ).
Please let me know if this resolves your issue or in case your problem persists.
Regards,

Touch-up Text Tool and Fonts

We are on Windows 7, Office 2007 and Acrobat 9. We have recently discovered that when you pdf a Word document, open within Acrobat, then try to use the Touch-Up Text Tool, it changes the kerning/character spacing of the text upon saving. The only fix we have found for this is within Word, choose Acrobat Preferences, under Advanced Settings, click on Fonts, and REMOVE the fonts from "Never Embed Fonts" pane. You need to ensure that any font that is in the Word document is removed from this area. This seems odd to me. Can anyone enlighten me on this? See below screen shots of text spacing changes as well as Font Menu.

It is a good practice to embed fonts if Touch Up Text is a tool you often use.
Is the person creating the pdf the person who is editing the created pdf? If not, my guess based on the exclusion list in your post is that the users have different versions of the Arial font installed. There are small, but significant, differences in kerning and line height between different Arial versions.

Possible to modify blocks of text as defined by Touch Up Text tool?

I have scanned a document and OCRed it. Using the Touch Up Text Tool, I can approach the text, but the text areas are not as defined by the tool. Is there a way to modify a block as defined? I.e. There is a heading over 2 columns of text. The OCR process defined this as one block of text.

Thank you very much for your input.
I'm trying to automate this process as much as possible because I don't want to have to crunch the data manually myself later on, instead just teach someone else how to do it.
The first search and replace action seems basic enough but regarding the second one I would have to manually assign that paragraph style to the line where the data would break because one can only assign character styles in nested styles, right?
Also I've heard that ID CS5 automatically creates new pages based on a template when you paste information inside the first page, is that so? That would be great because that way the person wouldn't have to manually create pages and link the contents throughout the document but instead simply open my template and paste the information within the first master page. That's not possible with CS4, is it?
Thank you very much!
