ID CS3: Text Wrap stopped working!

I suddenly have an odd problem: a text box that refuses to honor the text wrap setting on another box. The one that is supposed to force the wrap does have the wrap turned on. The box that is supposed to honor the wrap setting is not set to ignore the text wrap.
I've tried the common fixes like going into composition preferences and toggling on and off the "Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath" box, and trashing ID's preferences. In addition, I have run Onyx to repair permissions and run maintenance scripts, and in desperation also cleaned the font cache.
I'm really stumped here. The box that the text is supposed to wrap around is an object that I keep stored in a library (a column head for a regular contributor to a magazine), and it has performed flawlessly for months. Nothing is changed in that respect from the previous issue of the magazine. The two boxes are on different layers, but that has been no problem in the past.
I should add that the problem is not limited to that particular library item; it seems to also happen with other column heads from that same library.
Does anyone have any hints as to where I should go from here? I'm at a bit of a loss

Finally discovered the problem. Somehow my text box default had changed from text wrap off to text wrap on (I'm sure I wasn't paying attention at some point) and, with both text boxes set to wrap, they were somehow canceling each other out.
Once I shut off the text wrap on the article box, everything snapped back to normal.
(whew)

My Illustrator CS3 & CS6 are stop working

My Illustrator CS3 & CS6 are stop working. The AI file which I created by Illustrator CS3. My Illustrator CS3 used to work fine, but recently it is stop working when I tried to save the AI file. The AI file is a package design which contain text and images. It can be opened and edited on my colleague's compute but not mine. I thought I installed Illustrator CS6 will solve the problem, but same error window pop up.
Please help!

ww,
A screenshot (you may use the Insert Image button, which looks like a camera), or the text of the error message might be helpful.

HT201412 iPhone 4S text alerts stop working

I've have iOS 6 for months. Out of the blue my text alerts stopped working. I've rebooted a few times to no avail. All settings look right. And everything else seems to be working proper.

Diesel I tend to agree with you there! All other sounds do work and I have the "glass" tone choosen for texting. I was all working fine with the new ios6 which I've had for months. since all other sounds work, I'll be heading to the genius bar at my local apple store. Now if only I'd taken that apple care ....LOL oh well

Text Messaging stopped working after changing Apple password, although it is still working on my iPhone. I tried changing the password in the Settings>Messenger, but can't get it to work. What do I do?

After I type in the message and click on the Send button, "Sending" is displayed, but at the end of this process, a message under the message says "Not Delivered".

ID CS3 - text wrap doesn't work at the end of a long multi-columned text frame

Did a search - don't think this specific issue has been addressed:
We design large graphics often used on walls. When working with a text frame that that was 11 feet long and had 8 columns, text wrap would not work on an image placed in the last column. The same image with the same text wrap applied will work fine anywhere else in the text frame. I found that if I shortened the width of the text frame a little bit at a time eventually it would work, but there doesn't seem to be a specific cut-off width - sometimes the last column won't text wrap when the frame is 115 inches wide and sometimes it doesn't work when the frame is only 80 inches wide. Again, all of the other columns work fine. I have tried all of the obvious stuff, the only variable between the columns that wrap and the one that doesn't is it's position at the end of the text frame.
We have gotten around this issue by using multiple threaded frames instead of one long frame with multiple columns, but I am curious if anyone else has run into this or might know what the issue is.
thanks

Text wrap not working... What am I doing wrong?

Hi... I guess I do not know how to set up the text wrap in reflow to follow the size of the container that it is in...
I have created a text box with the text the size I want and the width and hight of the box is correct... While editing the text it wraps correctly... But the moment I un-select the the text it ignores its container and overflows... Basically goes from being vertical text back to horizontal... I tried the different overflow options in the layout tab but no luck...
Here are some images for reference... This one is correct and following the wrap (but only happens when i am editing the text)
But then when I deselect the text... The wrap goes away and this happens... Even though you can see the container is still the same width...
My plan is to have it be vertical for desktop browser sizes and then be horizontal for mobile and tablet... I was really hoping it was as easy as setting the size of text box... But it is not seeming to work...
Thank you for any help!!!

Just tried adobe direct support via chat to get help on this.... OMG I wanted to blow my brains out... So very very unhelpful and a complete waste of time.... They had no idea and said moderators on the forums would be better support... I explained that I had asked this question on there several days ago.... Getting so over adobe... WOW!

Text wrap not working properly CS4

Despite trying numerous times over last few days, reviewing multiple tutorials to make sure I know what I'm doing, I simply cannot get the text wrap options to work properly. In SOME instances (not all ... why?!?) I can select text wrap, but when I try to make further adjustments (wider margin or switch to object wrap, for instance), it simply does not allow selection. The choices once I'm in the text wrap box are grayed out (margins, contour box, etc) as not available. WHAT is going on?! Do I have defective software? Is it me? I've even reinstalled the whole CS4. <aarrggh> I am SO frustrated!

Things like this are almost always attributable to user error.
If you're new to InDesign I'd suggest investing in Sandee Cohen's Visual Quick Start Guide: http://amzn.to/ggnCUx
More details, screenshots, etc would help us, though.

Text Wrap not working

I thought to create a text wrap you simply created a polygonal shape, selected it, and chose "Text Wrap" from the Options menu.
In a new draw document, I am creating a text frame, filling it with text, creating a polygon, and with it selected choosing "Text wrap" > "Irregular," but the text does not wrap.

Hi Timothy,
Click on the text frame to select it, then go Options > Frame Links
Wrap in Draw documents will work only if the text is in a frame to which Frame linking has been applied. It's not necessary that the frame be actually linked to a second frame.
Regards,
Barry

CS3 Standard - Has stopped working

I have just begun receiving error messages,"Adobe[Program]CS3 has stopped working..A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. This happens when I try to open Illustrator and Photoshop.
These programs have worked perfectly until the other day, I have searched the forums for solutions and also have gone through Customer Support but have not found the correct information.
My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium, 32bit.
I cannot isolate what would have caused this except for some updates from Adobe. Please advise, thank you.

Can you do a system restore to a point before the problem started?
If so, you can try doing any updates again, and do them one at a time, then test, to be sure things still work.

Long-touch selection of text suddenly stopped working, to highlight text. Any help?

Last week I was using the long-touch method of selecting text. After selecting what I wanted I could choose to highlight that ext or strike through or all sorts if things.
I can still use the highlight tool but the way I did it was so much nicer.
Also, double clicking text to zoom appropriately to the size of the page stopped working. Now it just zooms in far too much.
Any help?

I'd suggest to start with disabling any firewall blocks.
Then, do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner:
With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
Once complete and rebooted, test a SMS messages again.

Acr 9 Pro: Text editing stopped working

Out of the blue, the ability to highlight or underline text in pdf documents stopped working. I have tried different documents with the same issue. Tried a software upgrade/install, computer reboot, etc etc. Ideas?

No. But the red arrow and line tools still work. I just tried the text highlights on a random document and it worked.. but many of my documents, it doesn't work. All of the documents are research studies downloaded from a college library.

I can't get Text Wrap to work for me CS5

Hello,
Okay, time for my stupid question of the week! I am having lots of trouble getting text to wrap around an object. I'm almost embarassed to ask this, since it's so basic.
I am using the 30 day trial version of CS5.
I have tried everything. I've followed the following tutorials and nothing happens when I press Object >Text Wrap>Make.
http://designertoday.com/Tutorials/Illustrator/5616/Wrap.text.around.Image.Illustrator.CS3 .Tutorial.aspx
http://www.justskins.com/forums/wrapping-text-around-an-37063.html
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-63efa .html
http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/wrapping-text-around-an-image-in-illustrator
All the tutorials have different instructions. I have tried them all and tried so many variations. From what I can piece together, this is the correct sequence:
create new page
use the rectangle tool to create a rectangle
paste text in rectangle (I've also typed it in)
file>place and select image (I've tried pasting it in too)
select only image and ensure image lies above text in layer box
object>text wrap>make
I've tried all sorts of variations - selecting image and text, selecting text only, pasting image instead of placing and get the same result.
Any assistance that can be offered would be much appreciated.
Mary

Text and object MUST be on the same layer.
Text MUST be on top of object to be wrapped.
Text MUST be area text.
Are all of the above true?
From reading your steps, you've got the text behind the object to wrapped, becuase you created the text, then placed/pasted an image. If you were to place/paste the image, then create the text, you'd be set.
Select the text and choose Object > Arrange > Move to front. Then try wrapping the text.

Phsp CS3 - License has stopped working - How to access new install version for download?

Please help! I just finished a session with Adobe and they told me to use the Forums for a solution to my issue.
Bought a new iMac with Mavericks OS/X. Photoshop CS3 will not open due to a "license has stopped working" error message. I asked the Adobe support person for a link to download a replacement copy and he gave me a link that gives a 404 error on the Mac dmg download page,. I am ready to install PS CS3 but first need to have a usable dmg download link. The tech support person assured me that experts on this forum can help. My question is WHY did he send me to a non-working link?
Thanks for any advice you can give that really works! :-D

I get the "License has stopped working" mesages too.
We have a MacbookPro at home. There are two user-acounts on this mac, one for my wife and one for myself. This way we keep our personal stuff (e-mail, files, settings, dropbox, desktop clutter etc) separated. "Fast user switching" is enabled to easily switch to your personal account.
Now when I open Photoshop I might get the dreaded "License has stopped working" message. This will happen if Photoshop is left open in her account. So I'll have to log into her account, close Photoshop, go back into my own acount and open Photoshop again.
I should not get this message since Photoshop is not part of a particular user account, it is installed in the "Applications" folder which is accesible to all users.
What makes it even more annoying is that I get the "License has stopped working" message on trying to open Photoshop even when Photoshop is closed in in the other acount, but Illustrator is opened.
This makes no sense since we bought Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 as separate programs, not as a part of the Creative Suite.
I did not report this to Adobe yet but it wil do that now.

CS3 licensing has stopped working?

Recently my enitre CS3 Suite informed my that my "licensing has stopped working. Please uninstall and then reinstall the software." However the software disc is rejected by my 3 year old mac power book as there is some minor wear on the disc. So now what? The disc will read on a newer powermac so I tried to clone it but it is still rejected by my machine. All of the software is already on my mac but none of it will work because of this ridiculous reinstall requirement. How can I reinstall if the disc is unreadable on my mac? Is there a way to copy the disc so it WILL read?

I'm afraid this is the wrong forum. Not sure exactly which is the right one.
