Mail icons, can i have text with icons

My missus is a computer novice but i am pleased with her progress with her iPad2, but she does struggle when using Mail, she finds the icons very vague in what they represent, i was hoping there might be an option to have text under  the icon, or perhaps text on it's own ?

No, there is no option to have just text or icons with text in the Mail app (http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html). As a work-around you can always do a screenshot, print it off, and label the icons so that she's got something handy to refer to

  • If you do not have imessage enabled, can you still text with people that do?

    I just updated my iphone 4 to the ios5 software, but disabled imessage because I have heard that it is unreliable. Can I still text with people that do have imessage enabled on their phone?

    iMessages are only sent as SMS if iMessage is unavailable and "Send as SMS" is enabled in Settings.
    Settings -> Messages > Send as SMS 
    I do not believe this is enabled as a default setting.

    You must be talking about email aliases.  Log into icloud.com with a browser, go to the email page and click the cog wheel icon in the upper right.  Go to preferences>accounts.  YOu can define aliases there.  Note that they must now be @icloud.com named emails.

  • Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

    Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

    You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.

  • Instead of using image in a link column can we have button with name?

    Hi,
    In Apex , in report region instead of using image in a link column can we have button with name?
    Thanks,
    Anoo..

    From your wording, it sounds like you used the built-in column link within APEX. You will need to edit your column and remove that so that the column is only containing the definition that is coming from the query (you can also just change the alias used for the column and then the old column with the link will be removed and the new alias will be added against your new button column).

  • Can I have text or a topic show when I click a folder

    I get this icon when I link to a Word document. when I generate the TOC it shows as a folder and in my project when I click it I do not get text to the right, only a drop down of what's attached or in the icon. Is there a way to have folders or this icon to show text when you click them. I'm not sure if I'm stating this properly but I don't want a bunch of items in the TOC that do nothing other than be an organizer. I have tried to search the help documentation to see if I'm missing something and do not find any topics about this. I believe I have seen on other sites where I can click an item that will expand (I call this a folder) but when I do I not only get a list of other items or topics in that area but also text to the right in the body of the project.
    Any suggestions?

    While I was drafting this, both you and Ben posted some good comments. I'll go ahead and complete my post in hopes of shedding some light for others who may be wondering.
    The Word linking icon is new to RoboHelp with version 8 and many folks are still getting the hang of it, so I'm glad you asked the question. As you have discovered, that green icon means that the Word document is linked and is up to date at this point.
    One thing that will not be obvious unless you "look under the hood" in the Windows Explorer is that the icon actually represents a "real" subfolder that has been created automatically on your hard drive within the project folder structure.
    That new folder is automatically created bearing the same name as the Word document. When you right-click to "generate" the .htm content, this is the folder that will contain that content (along with any graphics or .css files as a result of the Word conversion).
    So moving along, if you use the "Automatically create TOC" feature to create your table of contents, the Word-created folder will be treated as a "Book" with whatever topics shown inside. (As you have discovered, you can workaround this manually with drag and drop.)
    Within the Project Manager pod, the reason you don't have any text showing (or a topic displaying in the Design Editor), is that the Word-folder is not a topic and thus has no text. It is simply a container for the topics inside.
    Now, if you don't like the idea of the Folder showing up as a Book in your TOC (or as an organizer as you put it,) you can simply move the Topic(s) inside the book to where you like and delete the "Book" icon in the TOC editor.
    Or, as Ben aptly suggests, you can also edit the properties of a book to have it link to a topic of your choice by the method he describes in his post.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    john

  • I can't type text with special Spanish characters (Captivate 6)

    Hi there,
    I've just downloaded Adobe Captivate 6 to try it out and found that I can't type some special characters widely used in Spanish language: our accents or tildes (that's the Spanish word for them). That's what I can't type:
    Á or á
    É or é
    Í or í
    Ó or ó
    Ú or ú
    I've checked the fonts on my font manager, but that's not the problem. They're fine.
    I've also tried to paste some text with these characters from Firefox and it worked fine. You can see it on the image:
    So I guess it must be some annoying bug.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Iñaki

    Hi Lilybri,
    I still have this problem with the accents in AC and I've just found that problem comes from the double-type characters (like the accents in Spanish).
    http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/kb/double-byte-characters-cannot-input.html
    BTW, I got no answer from Adobe and i'ts been more than 2 months since I registered the bug...
    Best regards!

  • Can't create text with PHP using imagettftext [SOLVED]

    I think that after the upgrade of PHP to the modular one I can't create text using TTF fonts. Before I file a bug report could someone confirm if it works or not for them? I might just have screwed something in my box.
    This code should create a text image and display it in the browser (it assumes you have DejaVu fonts in the default directory):
    <?php
    // Set the content-type
    header("Content-type: image/png");
    // Create the image
    $im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);
    // Create some colors
    $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
    $grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
    $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
    imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);
    // The text to draw
    $text = 'Testing...';
    // Replace path by your own font path
    $font = '/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf';
    // Add some shadow to the text
    imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);
    // Add the text
    imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);
    // Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
    imagepng($im);
    imagedestroy($im);
    ?>
    Could someone with an up to date php with GD enabled tell me if it works or him/her?
    Thanks.
    EDIT: Ok, I solved it. The error reporting is turned off by default now, so I was not getting any error. After turning it on I found out it was related to the open_basedir directive being enabled now in php.ini. Turning it off allowed me to access the TTF for drawing text.

    Aha!  I figured it out.  I used File...Open As to open it as a Camera RAW file.  In the ACR editor, it was showing as 16-bit depth.  Changed it to 8-bit and saved it.  Now the Text tool works!

  • Mail.app doesn't hava connection with imap server when changing network.

    Ive got a strange problem after upgrading OSX from 10.6.8 to 10.8.4.
    I have got a xserve, with osx 10.6.8. (mail) server installed on it.
    When i am in the office (LAN) mail works just fine. if iam home and wake my macbook from sleeping i see in the mail app the attention mark telling my something is wrong with the mail account.
    If i open the connection doctor it say's can't connect to IMAP server. if i check my iOS devices there is nothing wrong, everything is working and i can send/recieve mail. on iOS and OSX the settings are the same with SSL enabled and password type.
    When i tried to telnet the mailserver address with the IMAP or SMTP port i get a connection. so, there is no firewall blokking my connection.
    But now the strange thing when i quit my mail.app and start it again the mail gets connection again. So is there a problem when changing networks when the Mail.App is stil active?

    That's just to bad, will it be solved in a future release of OSX?
    I don't know... maybe Apple will force me migrating to Mavaricks.
    it seems that although w'r using DNS, the outside ip gets remebered or the connection isn't closed down properly when putting the macbook to sleep.
    I can try offcource to configure the outside LANip (Non dns) in my mail client.
    I will post with results..
