LOCK Text Box Question

Hi guys,
Is it possible to lock a text box but be able to edit the text? I don't want the position of the text to change but since we are using this page as a template I would like the text to be editable.

Locking a text box disable the edit function.
No way to change this behavior.
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'11

  • How to put a border around locked text boxes?

    I have a number of locked text boxes. I need to place a border (a box) around them. How do I do that?

    Govan,
    1. It's helpful to give a full and complete description of your problem when first posting in order to get a complete answer and avoid follow up posts.
    2. There's no need post the same answer twice.
    My answer: The stroke/line around a text box is all or nothing. If you want to eliminate the line between adjacent text boxes you'll have to draw a white line over the offending line to cover it up. Once this is done, select both text boxes and the line (using shift-click or command-click) open the Arrange menu and choose Group (or press Option-Command-G). This will keep the white line in place if the text boxes move.
    Good luck,
    Terry

  • Pages Text Box Question

    Can I create a text box in Pages that can automatically scale vertically to fit the text inside?
    I'm trying to create a modular element for a template that someone can paste any amount of text into without having to manually change the vertical scale of the text box.

    Answered my own question.
    Instead of creating a text box, create a table cell.

  • Unable to lock text box in page layout view for template

  • Scrolling Text Box question

    I'm changing a site for a friend. She wants to add a scrolling text box with a bio of herself on the grid we're already using on her page. The problems I'm having are it's difficult to resize the box once on the grid (you can't) and I keep missing anything that looks like the ability to scroll up and down on the text box. I'm sure I'm missing something which is why I'm here. :-)
    Thanks in advance! :-)

    check out the overflow:scroll command in the css - I'm not sure how this works with grids, however - but it could be a starting point....
    hope this helps

  • Overset text box question

    All,
    I upgraded to CS6 from CS5.5 (windows 7-64)
    After opening a indesign 5.5 document in 6.  Many of the text boxes become 'overset' when trying to alter the text with in the cells etc etc.
    Also, deleting or find and replacing the text also changes the box to overset. 
    Just as strange, even trying to re-size the box creates the overset.
    all I did here was drag the corner
    Has anyone else run accross this?
    any ideas on how to fix or work around?
    PS: tried the file on multiple machines with same results.
    thanks

    This isn't terribly surprising. The text engine usually changes from version to version so text flow won't be exactly the same. When you open an old file in a new version, though, ID will not recompose the story until you actually try to work with it in some way, hence the change when you altered the frame.

  • Highlighting text box for multiple choice presentation.

    I'm making a multiple choice presentation and need help highlighting the correct answers.
    I'm using Keynote v5.3 and here is the format of my slides:
    Text box - Question
    Text box - (A) Answer A
    Text box - (B) Answer B
    Text box - (C) Answer C
    Text box - (D) Answer D
    When I click to advance, the desired effect I'd like is for the correct answer to turn red in order to let the class know that it's the correct answer.
    I looked on the Build Inspector tool but the only Effects that appear in the Action section are Move, Opacity, Rotate and Scale. None which I don't want.
    Is there a way to animate the correct answer/text box to change color?
    Please help. Thanks!

    builds only work in  linear order ( 1, then 2, then 3,  then 4 ) they don't run in a random access selection,
    ( 4, 1, 2, 3 ) which is what would be required in the method you describe.
    the  way to do this is to use hyperlinks from the first slide to four other slides
    on slide 1:
    type the question and  the multiple choice statements
    draw a shape beside each statement and use this as a hyperlink button to the  respective slide number
    select each shape in turn:
    inspector > hyperlink > enable hyperlink > link to slide and select the respective slide number
    when you click on   button A, it will display the the responce to choice d
    by the way, viewers have been taught that colours have  certain associations ( country dependant of course)
    such as red for danger so
    the traditional colour to use for a correct answer is GREEN
    the traditional colour to use for an incorrect answer is RED

  • How do I place an image inside of a text box, then lock the image

    I have the text where I want it, in font, style, color and everything. But there is an image that I need too to go infront of the text and i need it in the text box so that both the image (which already has a clear background), matches the textbox which also too has a clear background.

    Copy and paste the image inline.
    Or simply overlay it and group the textbox and image.

  • 3 Questions- Two about text boxes and one about something else! (10 Points)

    Hi, I'm doing a large project in java and have ran into several issues. These are summed up in these three questions:
    1. How would I make certain words certain colours/formats? I have been told I should a JTextPane, but all my text is currently in a box created like this:
    static JTextComponent textbox = new JTextArea("", 23, 60);
    2. How would I give that above box (or the JTextPane if I used that) line numbers next to each line. Not part of the text box, but on the left hand side numbers go down every line, however (and here's the catch) when you scroll the text box, the line numbers have to scroll also, so they stay in touch with the lines.
    3. How would I launch an external application? At the start its just an .exe, however I have to load it with certain parameters? any ideas?
    Thank you
    Alex

  • Safari locks if I type in text box

    My Safari on a 20" first gen imac 1.8 Ghz G5 with 10.4.9 locks everytime I type in a text box. Even the search box at the Apple web site. Any ideas.

    good you tried it in a new user account
    and even better it works in the new user account
    now drag ~/library/safari to the desktop and restart mac make sure that safari is not open at the same time
    and make sure you restart your mac
    if things works fine(you will need to say good bye to your book marks if still the same issue put the safari folder back to original location)
    assusming it does not work trash
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.safari.plist also ~/library/cache
    restart your mac
    test to see if it works
    still does not work drag the entire ~/library/preferences folder to the desktop
    restart mac and test the preference folder will recreate itself
    works fine(now is where the pain starts)
    make sure you have not opened any application
    <step 1>
    you will need to drag a few items from the preferences folder on the desktop to the preferences folder that has been newly created in the ~/library folder
    and then restart mac and test
    repeat the process till the issue is reproducible now once the issue is reproduced you will need to pull out the last items that you put in the preferences folder
    restart mac and then put them back one at a time, restart and test till issue is reproducible
    the item that is reproducible will be going to the trash
    and then repeat <step 1> till preferences folder on the desktop is empty

  • Locking down a text box, but still editable???

    is there a way to lock in or anchor a text box and still be able to type/edit text? maybe i'm missing something simple... thanks in advance!
    ty

    The point is to establish a layout, and then fill it.
    I had a regular monthly project of a 4 pp A3 set of newspapers in 12 languages. Each issue I would design the layout and create all necessary links in QuarkXpress. The sections would have non-printing labels and be largely prestyled.
    Then when it was approved, I'd "pour" the contents into it like plaster into a mould. Once I got going I could do each version in 8 minutes with a bit of individual typographic tweaking and styling.
    What made this possible is what is missing in Pages. Pages is amazingly obstructive and unco-operative for "easy to use" software. Potentially it could be different, if it wasn't for the design decisions of the programmers and the muddled way a lot of it is implemented.

  • Simple question around text box action listeners....

    Hi, I'm hoping there is a simple solution to this question.
    What I have is a text box, by default it will be empty. what I'm looking for is Some kind of action listener to be kicked off when ever a user writes in the textbox......
    here is a little bit of code i'd "like" to do....
       textBoxBean.addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener() {
                public void propertyChanged(PropertyChangeEvent event)
                     if (businessTypeBean.getText() != null){
                         // do somthing
                     else{
                         // do something else
            }); The only problem is the the silly thing never gets called.....
    a silly question but, unfortunatly all this is change a tooltip and enable disable a button based on weather or not there is something in the textbox....... Sigh......
    Any ideas would be great.
    Cheers,

    But you do waste your time with the above.......... With the hope that you will actually learn how to ask a meaningfull question the next time.
    You still have people totally confused about what you are asking. Some people think you have an AWT based question. Others think its a Swing related question.
    Your question is about an ActionListener, but you code shows a PropertyChangeListener. It seems like you are asking about a Swing component, but there is a Swing forum for Swing related questions.
    We are not mind readers. Ask a well thought out question and you will generally get a well though out response.

  • Text box problem or question

    I'm having the text field problem. I have two text boxes (inside my .fla file) one i can add more text without the box expanding and can  then select the text and croll down to view the missing text and the other one just gets longer the more text I add. I'm trying to duplicate the text box that does not expand the more text I add to it.
    All the settings in the properties are the same on both and I've tried it in MX and CS3 and the both have the same properties in both.
    I'm stumped can anyone help.
    I'm attaching the file.
    Thanks!

    If you right click the textfield on the stage you can select the "scrollable" option for it.  Another option to duplicate the textfield is to copy/paste it.

  • My ipad is locked up with an icloud backup text box asking me to ignore or choose setup.  It won't respond to anything.

    Does anyone know how to make the little text box in the middle of the screen go away.  I have tried "ignore" and "setup" - nothing.  I have also tried shutting it off, touching other icons - nothing is working.

    Try a reset.
    reset iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
