I want to duplicate and repeat a text box - up, down, left, right

I inserted (and sized) a text box on a page.
Now I want to duplicate and repeat the same size box over and over again in any direction.
There must be a way....right?

FN:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Select the original box and type Command-D (duplicate). Move the copy to where you want. Then select the copy and type Command-D again. The next copy will be located in relation to copy 1 as copy 1 was to the original. Keep typing Command-D until you get the number you want.
Do you Twango?

Hi alanhome,
Not trying to be cheeky, but a copy and paste doesn't work?

How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear

How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear?
Thanks ahead of time for your help,
Doug

Hi Denes,
I just thought that the example you pointed the OP to, is far more complex than what I understood he needs. The OP was talking about using a button, which I thought was a very basic and simple case. Your example is much more complicated. If memory serves, the radio group item, at the time (prior to 3.1 fieldset) behaved differently, so you needed to create a new value retrieving function, and then was the need to preserve the items show/hide status upon reloading the page. In short, I thought maybe I didn’t see the complexity in the OP post, but it seems that his requirement was indeed a simple one.
Regards,
Arie.

Flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box

hi, i hav problem with the flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box. im using macbookpro MAC OS X 10.7.5. i've search for solutions, lik relaunch the finder by pressing COMMAND+ALT+esc, but it didn't work for me...
any1 can help me, thx...

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

I am so frustrated. I put ab object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens. It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing,

I put an object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer, just the text cursor shows) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens. It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing, I create an object and then try and elect it to make it bigger etc and cannot. I know it must be something system wide as it happens in apps other than Pages.

Scan a barcode and fiil out text box

Hi there,
I need to read a bar code and populate a text box, I have a pda to do this but the problems is How can I activate the submit button automatic.

Yestarday I asked about this problem and I have followed your advise, I am having problems with the Script code, someone can tell me what's wrong whit this code:
        <td><input type="text" name="OPCUT" value="<c:out value="${param.OPCUT}"/> " onkeydown="return validateEnterKey()"/> </td>

Blog text box shifts down

My blog entry pages do not diaplay correctly. The text box shifts down, leaving the browser background at top. I'm using "white" iweb template. Other pages display OK.

It was not selected to begin with. I tried adjusting the file with and without that feature selected and the result was the same. They still shifted. Could it be something else?

This is my first use of this program. How do I remove a page break? How do line up my drop down box along side the text box on the left of it? The drop down is for a multiple choice answer for the question to the left.

See McAfee support to find out how to disable that McAfee feature - that isn't part of the normal Firefox installation.

BUG: Can't cut and paste custom text boxes

So this is really annoying.
- Create a text box.
- Set a custom text color, font and size
- Postion correctly.
Now I want to copy the text box to another page to maintain my text style. I can copy, but when I paste nothing happens.
Meaning I have to format each and every text box I create manually. Any work arounds?
I must say I do find the book editing tools in Aperture eccentric to say the least. No multi-select, no align/distribute etc. - I hope for some better page layout tools in the future. They don't have to be complex - just the basics.

Eccentric? Yup, my feelings exactly. Copy and paste in Aperture's layout tool is hit and miss - and as far as I know it's the only Mac app that behaves in this way, which is very strange indeed.
I just tried a workaround by saving the page with custom text as a new page master: it doesn't work!
Aperture only saves where the text box is located but all text formating reverts back to the theme's default... There's also no way to save custom text styles.
What will work is duplicating the page that contains the styled text box you'd like to keep. But then you need to change all the rest of the layout around it manually, which may take even longer.
It's nice to have a layout tool in Aperture. But considering what Apple has at its disposal, the implementation is extremely frustrating...

I keep getting crashes and error messages when trying to use LiveCycle. So far, the most I have been able to is create and name 3 text boxes.

Despite having uninstalled, reinstalled, change compatibility, run as admin and a host of other "fixes", LC keeps crashing, closing out and otherwise failing to operate. At this point the most I have been able to accomplish has been inserting 3 text boxes and then naming them. As soon as I change the caption name on the 3rd box (or sooner) the program stops working and I get the wonderful message from windows telling me, the program has stopped. I needed the extra input from Windows because, you know, when the program crashes I was just thinking it was naptime. 2.5 hours I have spent so far trying to fix this. Someone please help me!!

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

Keep Formatting during Copy and Paste in Text Box

Hi everyone,
I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI v11.0.0 on Windows 7.
When I am copying and pasting numbers and text within the same text box, I lose the original formatting. How can I paste with the formatting retained? For example, if I copy Bold1234subscript , pasting within the same text box gives me Bold1234Subscript.
However, formatting is preserved when I copy and paste the entire text box.
Thank you very much!

As far as I know you can't do that. In any case, it sounds like you are trying to use Acrobat in a way that is not part of its design. Go back to your original document and edit that, then create a new PDF.

How can type a word on an image in Ps and change the text box background

How can I type a word on an Image in Ps and change the background of the text box

Photoshop doesnt have an ability to fill a text box so you will have to create a layer underneath the text layer. A shape layer work work well. That can be filled and stroked quite easily with editability.

Load text and color into text box

I am trying to create code that will load text from an external file and change the background of a text box when a button is clicked.
When I compile the movie and click the button some text appears in the text box but not the text I was extecting and there is no color change.
The output panel displays the following message
"Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts"
So far I am just trying to get the blue button to work
This is the code
Thanks
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
var drawLine:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var color:Number = 0x6600cc
addChildAt(drawLine, 1);
//addChildAt(blackRectangle, 0);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);
function startDrawing(event:MouseEvent):void{
drawLine.graphics.lineStyle(3, color);
drawLine.graphics.moveTo(mouseX, mouseY);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, makeLine);
function makeLine(event:MouseEvent):void{
drawLine.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
function stopDrawing(event:MouseEvent):void{
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, makeLine);
blueBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, colorBlue);
function colorBlue(event:MouseEvent):void{
          color = 0x0000ff;
          textLoad("../text/colorBlue.txt", color);
redBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, colorRed);
function colorRed(event:MouseEvent):void{
          color = 0xff0000;
randomBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, colorRandom);
function colorRandom(event:MouseEvent):void{
          color = Math.random()*0xff55aa;
clearBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clearScreen);
function clearScreen(event:MouseEvent):void{
drawLine.graphics.clear();
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
function textLoad(file:String, color:uint):void{
          loader.load(new URLRequest(file));
          colorText.backgroundColor = color;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, displayText);
function displayText(e:Event):void{
          colorText.text = loader.data;

As far as the text goes, embed the font for the textfield ti get rid of the warning.
If you are not getting the background color to change, did you give your textfield a background to begin with? The code you have to change its color will work if it has a background.

I am filling out an online application for school. Is it possible to set Firefox to check spelling when in a single-line text box without having to right click every time?

I want to be able to set spell check to occur automatically even for single-line text boxes.

You can set the pref <b>layout.spellcheckDefault</b> to <i>2</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to perform the spell check on single line and multi line text fields.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.spellcheckDefault
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
