Is it possible to change the size of a text box on a photo book page

I am a first-time user of the photo book application in iPhoto. I am wondering if it is possible to:
1. change the size of a text box
2. have more than one text box on a page
3. move the text box around.
Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions someone might have.

When I Change The Size Of A Text Box/Menu Widget, Other Objects Move According To It. How Do I Make It Stop?

Example: There is a text box and there are objects below it. I add more text and the text box size becomes bigger.
Then the objects below move down.
How do I make it stop happening?

Hi LP700CR7,
This is a default behavior, I am afraid, its not possible to stop this behavior at this stage within Muse.

Increasing the size of designated text area in a photo book

I am using IPhoto version 9.5.1 on a MacBook Pro (10.9.2). I am trying to increase the designated text area so that I can increase the font size. This will allow for the final product to be more legible. Currently, I am featuring a student per page. The designated text areas are 4 separate sections on these pages. I would like to include on each page the following.
Aviator
Person's Name
Algebra I
Homecoming Dance
When I increase the font size in those 4 designated areas, the red caution triangle with exclamation point states, 'This text doesn't fit the designated text area!'
I have two questions.
1. How do I increase the text area so the larger text will fit and print properly?
2. Is there an overall command that I can input these increases to the text area so that the 36 papes have the same changes in the designated text areas? Otherwise, I will have to make those changes for each individual pages that are featuring a student.

You can "adjust" a photo frame or text box size on a page with the following key combinations:
Command + Option +⬆arrow: increase frame height.
Command + Option +⬇arrow: decrease frame height.
Command + Option + ➜ arrow: increase frame width.
Command + Option + ⬅ arrow: decrease frame width.
To adjust its position on the page use these key combinations:
Command + Control + ➜ arrow: move frame to right.
Command + Control + ⬅ arrow: move frame to left.
Command + Control + ⬆ arrow: rotate frame counter clockwise.
Command + Control + ⬇ arrow: rotate frame clockwise.
You can conver the standard frame (on the left) to this one (on the right)
Always be sure to create a PDF file of the book for proofing before ordering a book. This Apple document describes how to create the PDF file: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Keep the PDF file to compare it with the printed copy when it arrives.
If you have Pages you can easily create custom book pages as images and add them to a 1 photo per page layout by following this tutorial: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book

Is it possible to limit the size of a text box by word count?

I know that it is possible to use a character limit but most users prefer a word limit as they feel it is a more meaningful restriction rather than punishing those that use long words!
Is there some way to apply a word count limit on a text field in Designer?

Thanks Elaine, I did find a a few scripts like this online but none of them were geared toward people using LCD to create forms. The one you've posted is the simplest one I've seen and I've adapted the script form the example you provided but have had a blank on how to call the script object using a click event on a button.
So far I have
function countWords()
form1.test.countText.rawValue = form1.test.enterText.rawValue.split(' ').length;

HT5548 Is it possible to change the size of the icons shown in Launchpad? Mine seem very large.

Is it possible to change the size of the icons in Launchpad? Mine seem very large.

Thanks for the reply UKoC. You are close on the size. I would say they are about an inch to an inch and a half in width and only seven across the row. They just seem quite large on my display and I figured there would be an easy way. I kept thinking I just had to be missing the way for adjusting them since everything else seems to be so easy to personalize. Funny thing is that I have watched an online tutorial twice now on Apple's web site showing Launchpad and the icons shown there are smaller and more of them. I just thought I was missing the fix somehow. Thanks for confirming this.

How do i change the area of a text box (containg text) with the new 'shapes' transform tool..

the new Illustrator CC 2014 wont let me change the area of a text box, the text scales with the box.
is there a setting im missing somewhere that allows me to change the area /shape of a text box like we could in CC and before?

edit>preferences>type> uncheck "Auto size new area type"

I'm using pages. How can I change the shape of a text box to arch?

You can't do that in Pages. If you need text in an arch use Art text 2 lite, free from the Mac AppStore.

Is it possible to change the size of a partitioned hard drive?

I use an iBook G4 (PowerPC) and partitioned an external hard drive. Is it possible to adjust the size of the partition without losing the contents of the external drive? If so, how?
Thanks!

Hi The Zach;
Please read the requirements of these applications for resizing partitions very carefully! Most of them suggest that you back up prior to using them.
After reading all of these warning rather then using any of these applications what I simply do is the backup first then change the partitioning with Disk Utilities and restore. I find this method to be quick and inexpensive.

Input Controls - is it possible to change the font for a combo box

I have an input Control combo box that is a mixture of english/chinese characters. In Webi I can view the chinese characters correctly if I change the font to MingLIU. Is it possible to change the font for an input control OR to set a default font?

Is it possible to change the size of the 'Close' button in Full Screen viewing mode?

I am currently using Firefox for a kiosk type scenario. We require that the browser run full screen. The issue is that the 'Close' button is not large enough for users to consistently see, so they're having issues figuring out how to close an active browser window.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to change this icon? I've tried using themes, but they tend to theme everything but the close button.
Custom configuration details are below.
Firefox version: firefox-3.0.4-1.el5.centos
Customisations:
Access to local drives disabled:
Modified the contents of /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.4/chrome/browser.jar, so that browser.js has the added stanza:
<pre><nowiki>if (location.match(/^file:/) ||
location.match(/^\//) ||
location.match(/^resource:/) ||
(!location.match(/^about:blank/) &&
location.match(/^about:/))) {
loadURI("about:blank");
}</nowiki></pre>
Various menus & bookmarks disabled in chrome/userChrome.css

Try code like this:

The three buttons have these IDs:
<pre><nowiki>#minimize-button

ComboBox Problem to change the size of selected text in JTextPane.

hi 2 all!
I have a problem in combo box actions, when i change the item in the combo its set is not set at that time but that action is performed when next action is taken, i have used combobox.setAction(new StyledEditorKit.FontSizeAction(" click", 12);) command to set the size of the selected text
Plz suggest the solution also if possible,plz provide some code for this
Action action1 = new StyledEditorKit.FontSizeAction(
                                             "double click", 12);
                                   Action action2 = new StyledEditorKit.FontSizeAction(
                                             "double click", 14);
                                   Action action3 = new StyledEditorKit.FontSizeAction(
                                             "double click", 18);
s2 = (String) cb7.getSelectedItem();
                                   if (s2.equals("Small")) {
                                        cb7.setAction(action1);
                                        e1.setSource(cb7);
                                                  } else
                                   if (s2.equals("Medium")) {
                                        cb7.setAction(action2);
                                        e1.setSource(cb7);
                                                                      } else if (s2.equals("Large")) {
                                        cb7.setAction(action3);
                                        // e1.setSource(cb7);
when i chooze any combobox item then according to that item i set the Action on ComboBox but that action is not working properly on the selected text in the JTextPane..means selected text in JText Pane is not changes its Size according to the comboBox selected ITEM.
PLZ plzzzzzzzzzz help me:((.i will be thankfull to u.
thanx in advance..

this code is not working properly according to the action i set on comboBox.Thats correct, the setAction() method is used to invoke an existing Action on the combo box, not create a new Action.
What you need to do is have a single action that uses the information from the item that was selected to build a dynamic Action to change the font. Something like:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
     JComboBox comboBox = (JComboBox)e.getSource();
     int fontSize = Integer.parseInt( comboBox.getSelectedItem().toString() );
     Action fontAction = new StyledEditorKit.FontSizeAction("size", fontSize);
     fontAction.actionPerformed(null);
}

Is it possible to change the formatting of all text captions in a project?

Hi there.
I'm wanting to change the following formatting options on all text captions in my projects:
Caption type
Font
Font size
Font colour
Spacing
Is there any way of changing these for all text captions, or do I have to change them individually? I've tried changing the options in the object style manager, but I think that only works for when you're creating a new text caption, not for existing ones.
I'm using Captivate 7.
Thanks.

It depends: are you using the default style for Text Captions? In that case you can change the default style in the Object Style Manager and have it applied to all Captions.
Or you can change one text caption, and in its Properties panel choose the option 'Save Changes to existing style' from the menu top right (see screenshot). Both methods will work if you didn't override the default Caption Style for those captions. Beware: Quizzing objects can use another style.

Is it possible to change the email "To" field from what's in Address Book?

I would like to change the name displayed in the "to" address from the way it's entered in the address book but can't find how to do this. I like to have the address book sort alphabetically by last name (so it's set up with last name first), but I don't always want to send an email in that format. For example, I'd like to change "Smith Family" (address book) or "Smith John" (address book) to "John Smith" when I'm sending an email, or even just the email address (without a display). I could do this in Outlook, but I can't find the same feature in Mac Mail. Even when I delete the display name and try to retype just the email address it just "bounces back" to whatever the name is in the address book. I hate to have to make multiple entries in the address book for the same family/email address just to get different display names. Is there a way around this??

I'm sorry, but I'm still not clear on the problem. Do you mean that you have both "Smith Family" and "John Smith" tied to the same email address? If so, again, that "friendly" name isn't sent to the recipient, so the person receiving the email will get exactly the same thing regardless of whether you select the "Smith Family" entry or the "John Smith" entry. The "friendly" name doesn't go along as part of the email.
It would only matter on your end when looking at your Sent email, and if that's an issue, it should be no problem to select which one you want; just start entering in the email address/name and wait a second; you'll get a dropdown with all the addresses that meet that criteria and you can just pick the correct one.
Forgive me if I'm still not understanding what the difficult is or what you're trying to accomplish.

How do I change the size of an image when exporting from photos?

In iPhoto I could create jpeg images of various sizes by exporting a photo and selecting the quality of the image and the size of the file. How do I do that in Photos?

In exactly the same way. File -> Export. If all those options are not visible, note the disclosure arrow, indicated below.
