Menu alt text - editable?

I've made a manual menu for one of the pages I've set up in Muse. Somehow, I set one of the buttons to have alt text - a text message that pops up when you hold the mouse pointer over the button. (The same that you can do for images using the alt="text" code) So I know it's possible to set menu buttons to have pop up alt text. But the other buttons I set up don't have it. Nor can I change the alt-text on the button that does have it.
Does anyone know where that is done? Can it be done?
By the same token, I created a rectangle and used an image as the fill - but I can't set up alt-text for that either.
Any help is appreciated -
Thanks in advance

The button at the bottom has pop up text. None of the others do, and I'd like to be able to set that up.

You could probably use find/change to add the space.
I'd try the followng GREP:
\.(?![\d\s[:punct:]]) which I believe will find the periods not followed by any type of whitespace, a digit, or other punctuation (you might not want to change those elsewhere in the document if your search scope is not narrow enough to limit it to the descriptions, and even then there might be cases that would apply).
Replace with $0<spacebar>
For clarity, <spacebar> indicates you should type the space.

I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

I often have to open files .cue with Text Edit. Right Click, Open with, Others, Text Edit. Is it possible to put Text Edit in the menu avoiding to use "others"?

The easiest way is to keep Textedit in the Dock and drag the .cue file(s) to the Dock icon.
You can also create an Automator Service:
Open Automator
Select: Service
Select Service receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]
and:
Then select one or more .cue file, right click (or Control-click) on the selection to display the contextual menu. Scroll to the bottom of the contextual menu and select Services -> (what you named the Service).

Text Edit (print size small)

I try to print a document (Rich) I'm using a Canon MP970 Printer. (Web pages, pics) print out fine. My Text Edit fonts always come out small.
I up the percent to 120% (File>Page Set-up)...and to No avail....I've also made the fonts bigger. (Apple) Command-Plus sign +...though they appear large in Text Edit, they still come out small and if I up the size they run off the right side of the paper. The margins on the Left seem to be much wider than what I've selected in Text Edit. Any ideas of what to do? thanks

Choose "Wrap to Page" rather than "Wrap to Window" in the TextEdit View menu.

Can't open document using Word or Text Edit

I couldn't find a specific topic so I'm posting this here. I just got a new white macbook and transferred some word documents to it. I was out of town and realized I'd forgotten to load the Word program, so I opened a couple of documents using Text Edit and saved them as new documents. One document opened without issue, but the other document won't open with either Text Edit or MS Word 2004. When I try to open it in Word the message states it cannot be opened and may or may not be a valid word document. When I try to open in TextEdit the message states that the document is not in the right format. Please help -- I really don't want to have to re-create the document as it is about 12 pages!
Thanks, Sandy

There are 2 unusual options in File, Open in the Windows version of Word (sorry, I'm on a Mac without Word). One is something like Recover Text From Any Format, and the other is Open and Repair. One I think is on a drop down menu in the Open screen. I'm not sure if these are available on the Mac version, but it's worth a try! Also: do you have all the proper converters set up? I have Word 2004 for Mac running on one machine, a legal copy, and I was able to do updates and even get a free conversion program that actually backward converts Word 2007 for Windows and Word 2008 for Mac files down to Word for Mac 2004. It's worked quite will. I support Word on Macs and Windows at work and have used that conversion utility to great advantage when we had users call with Word docs that wouldn't open. Good luck!

Older version of text edit won't open protected file

An older version of Text Edit has replaced the copy I had. It is not opening. I have a disk mounted password protected file that holds a Text Edit document. Clicking on the document isn't working.
I tried to find a download page for the current version of Text Edit, but I didn't see one on Apple's site. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I am trying not to go back to the Genius Bar, as a stray Text Edit icon from yesterday's session (another issue) started this mess!
Thank you!

No need to open Textedit - just select it in Finder, then press Command I (or Finder - File menu - Get Info) : a new window should open with information about the item, including the version number.

I cant copy/paste from an article to my web site, get a Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.HELP

Tried to copy/paste from an article to my web site and got a "cannot copy /paste " warning and was directed to a security perferences site that said that Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.
Tried to find my Firefox profile directory using the start menu and was directed to hit enter to go to web. Feel like i am getting run around.

Let's start with something very basic, and that is, you do not need to use the paste button on most websites. The button just reads what is on your clipboard and sticks it into the form. You can do that yourself using Ctrl+v or right-click>Paste.
For your security, I suggest using those standard Windows keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+x cut, Ctrl+c copy, Ctrl+v paste) or the context menu.
Occasionally you will find a paste button that runs a clean-up script or otherwise does something useful. That is where the (admittedly a bit complicated) instructions come in handy.
To open your active profile folder, you can use:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Which help article are you using for the modifications?
Finally, please be cautious in opening up your clipboard to sites. You may have stuff you copied from other pages or other programs that you do not want to share with most sites.

Text edit app not working after Secupdate 007

Pismo running 10.3.9 showing issues with textedit application which worked fine prior to update.
When attempting to open an existing .txt file the beach ball spins for awhile and then does nothing. Finder window stays in front. When running through the dock, it shows textedit open, but textedit will not appear in menu bar.
I thought it might just be prior documents. After force quitting, I can open text edit app on its own with a new page showing. I can type in it, but when I attempt to save, the same issue shows. It just hangs.
Ran applejack and
I trashed textedit.plist thinking corrupted, but to no avail.
Any ideas on how to get this going?
Thanks!

Hanuman,
If you have cleaned all the possible cache files with AppleJack (plus run the other functions), one possible fix for problems that develop after a Security Update or OSX version update is to download/install the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update on top of your installed 10.3.9.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
If you don't have another User account, create one named 'Test' if you wish, then log into the 'Test' account. If TextEdit works normally, then you know your problem lies in your Home account. A quick and dirty test for solving some problems in your Home account is to go to your Home account <yourusername>/Library and drag the Preferences folder to the desktop, then log out/in to your Home account and see if the problem is resolved. If corrected, the problem lies in the Preferences folder on the desktop. Most prefs will be re-created as you use the computer, but save the old Preferences folder in the event there is one or more pref that you want to stick back in the new Prefs folder.

I added alt text to an Indesign created graphic but it won't show in Acrobat

I created these little check boxes in InDesign, basically a stroked box with a copied-from-Illustrator check mark. The box and the check are grouped and anchored to the each paragraph where the item has been completed (checked). I made sure the content of the frames were designated as graphic and not text or unassigned. I then click on the group, open object export options and assign a alt text desription (using custom setting), such as "completed" or "previiously completed", which is a gray check mark. InDesign shows the alt text, but when I export to Acrobat the PDF does not display the alt text. It sees it as a graphic but will not show the alt text that I created in InDesign.
The only way I have found to fix this is to create the entire box and check in illustrator and import as "real" graphic. This is kinda of pain to reimport and reposition all the boxes, when InDesign has the ability to create these simple graphics.
Any clue as to why Acrobat will not show the alt tags?

Pretty annoying - I didn't "chose" to not show my settings....
you selected something other than "show all" in the popUp menu over the presets list

Tags, alt text, and PDF accessibility

I'm thoroughly confused. I just finished the layout for a 176-page book in ID and I'm trying to tag the book for PDF accessibility. I read that it's better to tag in ID before you export to PDF. My problem is, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do or how to do it, and everything I'm reading is confusing me even more. I'm getting nowhere.
I'm not expecting a full course on this, but can someone please answer a few questions to give me a kick start (I may even ask the wrong questions). 1.) How do you add alt text to graphics in ID, or Acrobat? 2.) How do you add a tag in ID. I mean, I can add a tag but I don't know where or why I'm adding it. 3.) How do you manually tag a file in Acrobat 9 Pro or edit the auto tagging once it's done?
I'm using the most recent versions of ID and Acrobat Pro, and the most recent version of Mac OSX.
Thank you.

I too have been trying to figure this out and have followed the steps
to add alt text to InDesign before exportign to PDF. I just can't see the alt text in either PDF or in a browser displaying thee PDF fiel - I know the tagged text is there because when I open
the "touch up Reading order" dialog in the
accesibility tab of Acrobat - the image displays with the appropriate Alt text. I' checked the accessibility otpion in the browser as well [expand all alt text for images] but I still don't see the alt text when I mouse over teh image - what am I missign here?

Alt text mouseover in hyperlink text?

I use alt tag text in Dreamweaver CS4 to give a text synopsis of the content on the linked page. If possible, how do you make alt text in the mouse-over of a hyperlink, for PDF output?External hyperlink text does give the address as a mouse-over alt text, but how do you modify that alt text?
If this is impossible in InDesign CS4, what would be the most efficient work-around solution? Comment boxes in Acrobat? Flash?

There is no way that I know to define Alt text when creating a hyperlink. However, if a hyperlink points to a URL, when you pause your mouse over the hyperlink in Acrobat or Reader, a tooltip will show the URL the hyperlink points to.
What you might investigate is using buttons. A little-used feature of creating buttons (which can be used to trigger actions of various kinds) is that you can specify what you could call "Alt text" which appears as tooltips when you mouse over them. When you define the button in the Button panel in CS4 or CS5, go to the flyout menu in the Button panel and select PDF Options. There is a Description field there which creates the text for a tooltip. So if the button is used to trigger a sound, for example, you could have the Description read "Double-click to Play". You'll see that text in the tooltip.

Adding Alt Text to Images

Hi
I would like to add Alt text to a number of images on my site.
I have been sucessful in achieving this by selecting either the image on the page or in the asset panel, right clicking and then going to Edit Image Properties.
However I have a number of pages which contain Image compositions initially created in Ilustrator then saved as flat jpeg or png images inserted using Fill into a Blank Composition Wigit. The images all have triggers on top.
All of this works well
However , I seem unable in any way, to by right clicking on the images either on the page in Design mode or by highlighting the file in the Asset panel to bring up the Edit Image Properties dialogue box for the images (as part of the wigit composition).
I get a dialogue box by right clicking but one that contains Paste /Select Same /Arrange /Lock etc
Is it not possible to Add Alt Text to such combined images in a wigit , Should anyAlt Text be added earlier in the Design , Fill or construction stage
Any pionters or help would be very welcome
Thank You

Hi
I didn't get any replies to my post, but think I may have been able to resolve my own question.
I had been using the Fill with Image option to accurately place the images in the Wigit. This process as I mentioned does not seem to allow one to access the Edit Image Properties dialoge properties window by right clicking the image.
However when I deleted the image as a Fill and use the Place feature to insert the combined image with the same X-Y co-ordinates (and did a liltte bit of work to get the Wigit triggers to the front) right clicking now seems to allow access the Edit Image Properties
Success - I think !
Thanks

Alt text not appearing in WebHelp output

We are using FrameMaker 10 and RoboHelp 9 to output as WebHelp. In the FM files, I have added alternate text to anchored frames containing images. When I update the linked FM files in my RH project, the screen tip is empty for these images, but when I look at the HTML source for the topic, it shows that the alt text is there:
<p class="widegraphic"><img alt="Coach completes form and can either submit now or save it as a draft, edit it, and submit it later. After submit, employee receives task or alert notification, and coach receives task notification. Coach can still edit form at this point. Employee acknolwedges form and completes tasks, and employee task changes to complete. Coach completes task, and task status changes to complete. Lastly, coach receives alert or message notification. "
id="image2" src="using_bpl_form00003.jpg"
style="margin-bottom: 6pt;" border="0" /> </p>
When I preview the topic in RH and hover my mouse over the image, the alt text appears in the preview window as expected, both in the default window and when I choose to preview in Firefox and IE. However, when I generate the WebHelp and hover my mouse over the images, nothing shows up at all, and the alt text is replaced by the file name:
<p class="widegraphic"></p>
<div align="left"><img alt="using_bpl_form00003.jpg" style="margin-bottom : 6pt; " id="image2" src="using_bpl_form00003.jpg" />
</div>
If, however, I manually copy and paste the alt text into the screen tip field of the image in the RH topic, the alt text does appear in the WebHelp output:
<p class="widegraphic"><img alt="Coach completes form and can either submit now or save it as a draft, edit it, and submit it later. After submit, employee receives task or alert notification, and coach receives task notification. Coach can still edit form at this point. Employee acknolwedges form and completes tasks, and employee task changes to complete. Coach completes task, and task status changes to complete. Lastly, coach receives alert or message notification. "
id="image2" src="using_bpl_form00003.jpg"
title="Coach completes form and can either submit now or save it as a draft, edit it, and submit it later. After submit, employee receives task or alert notification, and coach receives task notification. Coach can still edit form at this point. Employee acknolwedges form and completes tasks, and employee task changes to complete. Coach completes task, and task status changes to complete. Lastly, coach receives alert or message notification."
style="margin-bottom: 6pt;" border="0" /> </p>
This seems like a pretty major bug to me. I know there have been scripts developed to delete the alt text so that graphic filename won't show up as the alt text, but is there anything that will take the existing alt text and populate the screen tip/title property with it, which seems to be the key to getting this to work in the output? There's no way I can manually copy and paste all the alt text into the images in RH, especially because I'll just end up having to redo it every time I update the linked FM files.
Thanks,
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
Offhand, your ALT string seems long. A quick search yielded info at http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/images/images_famsupp_85.html
If a lengthy description is needed to describe the image, use the LONGDESC attribute to point to the URL of another page which has the lengthy description. Because LONGDESC is not yet sufficiently supported, also follow the image with a "D-link". A D-link is a standard anchor link with contents consisting of the capital letter "D", like this:
Do you experience the same behavior with short alt strings as well?

Simple text edit html files will not display as web pages using Safari

How does one get Text Edit files saved as HTML to display as a web page rather than showing the code as written? It appears that somehow some sort of code generator is being invoked and causing this to happen. I am not trying to do anything complex, just simple files like "Hello World".

Hi ..
Make sure you are following the instructions as noted here > Creating a Basic Web Page
You may need to turn off all Safari extensions.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
Switch to OFF.
Then see if it reads as HTML or Hello World.
