Illustrator text won't resize.

Hi there,
I am using Illustrator CS2. I want to be able to tpye and then resize and change the font. I thought I would just have to type the words and then click the selection tool which would select all the text and allow me to pull the side to resize it. That does not work for me. Am I doing this wrong? Also I thought I would be able to type words and then click on different fonts and see the text change on the screen as I go from font to font but that does not work either. I must be doing something wrong here. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

You can drag a corner of the Bounding Box (if it is shown, see View) and resize that way (proportionally if you hold Shift at the same time).
Also I thought I would be able to type words and then click on different fonts and see the text change on the screen as I go from font to font but that does not work either. I must be doing something wrong here. Any help will be appreciated.
If you type (with the Type Tool) and click a new font/size/whatever, the next letter(s) should be changed accordingly.
If things do not work, you may need to reset the preferences or close down disturbing applications, see Move the folder or Other options

How can I prevent the text in non-resizable contexts from being cut off?

I have not changed the Application, System, or Dialog fonts from their defaults.
This is the result:

Medium might be the default for high ppi monitors but it is very different from the original windows settings that were used when 96 ppi was standard. Of course for a high resolution FullHD resolution on a 15 inch screen you end up with a ppi of around 150ppi.
This article explains somewhat the history of where 96ppi came from and that it was in fact already a convinient misrepresentation of the real values. The problem is partly that LabVIEW makes some assumptions about the size of text based on the actual ppi settings while the rendering of the text as done by Windows can be scaled by your control panel adjustment. However the solution is not as trivial as replacing all assumbtions about the size of text by the new values as that won't always give the correct values either and also has quite a lot of other issues such as controls suddenly looking very oversized when moving a front panel from a low ppi device to a high ppi device. Basically the way Windows deals with screen resolution and different ppi makes it simple for Windows to render text on a display without ugly aliasing effects but makes it impossible for an application to both be text and size accurate when rendering windows like a LabVIEW front panel.
It's also a reason why so called retina displays still don't really work under Windows while IOS has them already for quite some time.
Ravens Fan, Windows 7 has Normal (100%), Medium (125%) and Larger (150%). To maintain the relative text size on an old CRT for a FullHD 15 inch labtop display one would have to use the Larger setting, which is outright ugly. I personally use Smaller on all my Windows 7 labtops because of issues like the LabVIEW front panels rendering but also many other applications get into trouble otherwise. Yes it looks kind of small on my FullHD 15 inch LCD monitor, but at least it is all consistent.

Disk Utility won't resize a partition

Disk Utility won't resize (eliminate smaller partition from a 2-partitioned internal) Hard Drive. This is the message I get:
"Partition failed
Partition failed with the error:
Filesystem resize support required, such as HFS+ with Journaling enabled."
Help files offer no information on this error. I followed the Help instructions to do this operation, but the resize doesn't work. The older, smaller partition shows up in Disk Utility but is dimmed out. It will activate at highlight, but is not recognized on the desktop.
Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

Intel based Macs use a different partition scheme called GPL or GUID rather than what PowerPC used, APL.
You could try reformatting, or get a new system, and run BootCamp and Windows even.
Even if you've used Macs for years, there is always a place on my book shelf for this one, David Pogue's "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual (Leopard Edition)"

Illustrator CC won't launch (says it has stopped working)

I just did the update my cloud loader said it needed and now my Illustrator application won't open in Windows. Keeps saying that it has stopped working.

Hi Afwife05,
Can you share the crash dump with me.
The steps to get the crash dump file are:
Open the “Task Manager” when the Adobe Illustrator CC crash window is displayed.
In the Task Manager window right-click on the name/string “Adobe Illustrator CC” and select the option “Create Dump File” in the context menu
It will display a dialog which says that it will create a file “Illustrato.dmp” in your “Temp” folder. Click on OK to create this. Wait for the action to get this completed.
Once the above file gets completed you can have this file by typing “%temp%” in your “Run” window (press “window button + r” on the keyboard). On clicking the enter key the TEMP folder can be opened.
Look there for the file name “Illustrator.dmp” and share it with [email protected] using dropbox.
With Best Regards,
Raghuveer

Check online with the web site of the maker of your video card for an updated driver (assuming you're running Windows).

Adobe Illustrator CC won't start!

Adobe Illustrator CC won't start. It immediately crashes. Already uninstalled Wacom software, but that's not the problem, still doesn't start. I'm using the trial version of CC to see if everything works before i buy the software. I also have CS6 Design & Web premium installed, never had problems with this software. Someone knows how to fix?
Thanks in advance!

Remco

Adobe camera raw window won't resize and can't reach buttons

When I open an image from bridge into adobe camera raw 6.1 (Photoshop CS5) on my laptop, the camera raw window fills all of the screen (top to bottom) and the buttons at the bottom of the window are below the task bar. Thus I can't open the image in photoshop except by hitting the enter key. I can't reach the open, etc buttons. The window won't resize and there are no icon/buttons in the right upper corner to go to/from full screen. When I hit the icon in the top right hand menu bar in ACR (to go to full screen size) the window then fills the whole width of the screen in addition to the height, but no matter what I do I can't get the height of the window to shrink, so that I can access the icons at the bottom of the screen. What am I missing? Thanks

Don't worry about turning aero off just yet.
There are two key first questions:
What is your screen resolution (width in pixels x height in pixels)? Right-click on desktop, choose Screen Resolution.
What setting have you chosen for the display size (Smaller, Medium, Larger) in the Display dialog? Right-click on desktop, choose Personalize, then Display.

Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.

Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.
I went to Jave and downloaded the latest version of Java 8 Update 31 for Mac, but it still won't open.

dchasin,
You may be able to get round the legacy JAVA requirement as follows:
Create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.

Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum. What have you tried so far to resolve your difficulties? Have you tried removing and reinstalling Illustrator? If so did you receive an error message during the install process?

Blogger (blogspot) mobile site won't resize images

Blogger has supported mobile version webview. When using Firefox android browsing blogger, the images are not resize to smaller ones.
As image below:

Firefox for android, the image won't resize to smaller one, but other browsers do.

This is likely a problem with the data blogger sends to Firefox. You can log a bug report at https://webcompat.com/ and technical people will do some diagnosis of the issue.

Dynamic text won't display

I don't know if this is a bug. I have a movie that contains a
dynamic text. When I run it, the text displays fine. But when the
said movie is run through another movie clip (using loadMovie), the
dynamic text won't display. Any ideas why? Thank you.

Than again, it's a bug on your end :)
Dynamic text is a text container, it's to be use with
dynamically given data, from
source file or variable string on timeline. It's not meant to
be for regular text
display. You need to use Static text. The fact that you can
see it it's just flash
being tolerant but it only lasts for as long as the movie is
getting more complex.
You can get away with somethings even tho you should not be
using them, does not
mean they will work all the way. Dynamic text, as said above
is for text that comes
to flash from outside source and this is when it works best.

Text won't display

my text won't display properly (size and position) in premeire elements 7

dannyellis1
What computer operating system are you running the Premiere Elements 7 program?
Is this a "it worked before but not now" type of issue or "it never worked before"?
Where is the text not displaying correctly...in the opened Titler, in the disc menu window in the Create Menus section of the program, other, or everywhere?
Is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
You mention size and position. What about font type?
Also, please include:
a. computer resources description
b. properties of your source media
c. project preset
d. description of Timeline content and duration
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thanks.
