More text weirdness

I'm using Motion 3 for the first time (been using 2 fairly successfully) and have found the Text tool much harder to manipulate. For instance, I can't do all caps for a word and have the first letter a different font size than the rest of the word by highlighting it and changing the font size. Am I missing something here?

No, in fact, I just tried it and it used to force me to highlight the text on the canvas (as opposed to just in the inspector) in order to do what you are suggesting.
I am now able to select a single character (either on the canvas or in the inspector) and alter its size independent of the other characters on the line.
(and you do know about the allcaps checkbox in the inspector, right?)

  • How do I get more text options in photoshop??

    How do I get more text options in Photoshop?  I have the basic package, but I would like more script options.
    Thank you,
       Maureen

    I don't suppose you have a full CC subscription?  It comes with a feature called Typekit which I love. Along with an ever increasing range of top quality fonts, it has the best font manager I have used, and excellent search facility.
    The web is full of additional font sites like dafont
    http://www.dafont.com/
    Otherweise, Google is your friend
    If you want Text Effects then Google will help you out there as well

  • More text options in Print Module

    It's frustrating to be able to do just about everything in LR - but not quite.  I'd like more text options for the printing module.  For example, when I'm printing a limited edition print, I put the edition number in the bottom left corner, under the image, within the border of the print.  The title goes in the middle, slighty larger font, and then possibly a watermark.
    I can use the Identity Plate to create a nice looking title, but the Photo Info will only print in the middle with no options for positioning it anywhere else, or no options for other fonts.

    I would second this proposal..... with a serious passion.  I think it is unbelievable that Adobe will not provide us with the option to print the metadata with our images.
    The current metadata print options are in the dark ages, a joke and an insult to anyone trying to put a proper caption on a printed image.  For example, one cannot currently control the postion or font of a basic caption, never mind a considered template which might incorporate copyright, date, author, etc..   I also make folios (ala Lenswork).  Unfortunately, a detour to PS also means that this must be done manually, rather than using a template.  Adobe have all the tools to make this work, many of them are in the Slideshow module, so already the code is inside Lightroom.   It is so sad that a company like Blurb can provide these tools free of charge in free software, but Adobe seem incapable of providing these basic features.  I was disappointed they were not in version 1, frustrated when missing from version 2 and  apoplectic when not in version 3. I might excuse the omission if I could build a template in PS which allowed me to place text from the metadata into a formattted page layout, but this is not possible either. So despite the fact I have purchased both Lightroom and Photoshop, and paid for upgrade after upgrade of both products, this basic facility is still missing.
    I can only deduce that people in Adobe print images in two modes.
    1) a lonely image in approx middle of the page with no text formatting or
    2) an image in draft mode with a caption and a name plate and uncontolled other text in ad hoc placements (totally unsuitable for presenting to a client).
    I would put this requirement ahead of so many other popular requests (even ahead of requests such as networked storage, soft proofing, etc).  I can mention other software products who do a really good job of printing meta data with images, do serious work on sharpening, etc. for a fraction of the cost of the Lightroom / Photoshop combination. Becasue I am on an Adobe site I will not mention the names of these non Adobe products. If these small companies can solve this problem, surely Adobe can do so as well.
    I also find that I cannot trust the page setup templates that I do create. It seems to me that many of the properties (ie page size, orientation, matt / gloss options) disappear without warning.  I suspect this happens when I have problems printing to networked Epson printers (maybe others, but I only use Epson ...with Windows 7.)  This is very frustrating when my template changes from Matt in to Gloss, with subsequent wasted of ink and frustration and lost time in correcting and re-updating the template.
    Adobe, please finish the Print Module.  I do not want any more glitzy updates to publishing to the most recent social media exchange medium. Can we not get basic printing working first.
    (..... thanks for listening.....end of rant).

  • Did you know how to link the text in two or more text boxes?

    Did anyone know how to link the text in two or more text boxes in Pages 5.0? Thanks for your answer.
    Qualcuno sa come collegare il testo in due o più caselle di testo nella versione 5.0 di Pages. Grazie per le vostre risposte.

    It's just one of the many, many features that have been eliminated or changed. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu and review & rate the new versions in the Mac App Store.
    If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09. You can continue to use them to get things done.

  • More text not working after using bluetooth map profile with bmw

    Hello,
    I am using my BB9360 in my BMW. Everything is working fine, emails, contacts, schedulke and tasks are displayed. But after leaving the car my BB is not able to complete an email (more text). After doing an restart (BB) the "more text" menu is working again. Disabling the email accounts in the bluetooth map options is a work around.
    I swapped the hardware witth no effect.
    I am running OS 7.1 Paket 1133 v7.1.0.336
    Any suggestions or ist it  a known bug?
    Walter

    I have exactly the same issue with BMW iDrive on a Dec 2011 M3 and Bold 9900 using the snap-in adaptor and bluetooth - but thanks for the workaround, was really doing my nut not being able to download more!
    Would prefer a bug fix though of course - am up to date on latest versions for the 9900 on Vodafone UK, but I have an outstanding update on the iDrive which I will do and let you know the result.

  • I have updated my phone to 4.3.3 and I was told there would be more bells and whistles. I haven't found more texting sounds. Have I updated my phone wrong or just not completed it all the way? Please help me. Still trying to figure this iphone 3G out.

    You have the iPhone 3GS, not the 3G. The last update to support the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
    iOS 4.3.3 includes bug fixes etc. There is nothing really special about this update that wasn't introduced in iOS 4.3. iOS 5 is the one to wait for - it will be released in the Autumn/Fall and includes over '200' new features/improvements.
    The additional text tines and ringtones were an iPhone 4-only feature.

  • Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6?

    so I upgrade from CS6 to CC and did not install Bridge CC. Then while in After Effects CC I try to view the text animation presets, but window informs me I do not have Bridge CC installed. I then download and install Bridge CC and view the animation presets, but seem all the same as Bridge CS6 has.
    My question is - Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6.
    Is there another procedure to acquire more? Did I click past something on my first launch of Bridge CC?

    My question is - Does Bridge CC have more text animation presets then Bridge CS6.
    Best try this in the After Effect forum, to my knowledge not many AE users are here at a regular base. Besides that, every suite version has its dedicated applications to work together in that suite, CC is no exception to that so for best practice use Bridge CC.

  • Where can I get/buy more text bullets for pages?

    The text bullets for iWork Pages are nice, but I would like many more choices.
    Where can I get/buy more text bullets?
    I have done some searching on the web and I am finding it very difficult to find any graphics stores for text bullets.
    I would really appreciate if someone has some suggestions.

    Any character from any font can be used as a text bullet. I suggest that you look at the "special" characters you already have available in many of the fonts that came with your computer. The Character Viewer applet is very useful for this.

  • Can I make icons display more text on the Desktop?

    The default size is 64 px by 64px (which stills seems huge to me) but the labels below each icon only display like 6 characters with ellipses in teh middle. It makes it very hard to identify files ... Any way around this without making the icons 128px?

    In the Finder view options (Cmd+J), increase the grid spacing to spread icons farther apart from one another. This will allow more text to appear on each line.

  • Say subject A is on top of page 1 and subject B is on top of page 2.  As more text is added subject 2 will be pushed to page 3 eventually is there a way to always keep all Subjects on top of the page even it is pushed forward to a new page?

    Say subject A is on top of page 1 and subject B is on top of page 2. 
    As more text is added subject 2 will be pushed to page 3 eventually is there a way to always keep all Subjects always on top of the page even if they are pushed forward to new pages?

    Hi ameryfromny;
    We can place a pagebreak before the Heading or Sub-Heading manually prior to or even after creating a Table of Contents. So that the Heading or Sub-Heading is placed always on top of a page.
    To create a Table of Contents:
    Under Format panel, define paragraph text as Title, Subtitle, Heading, Heading2 ..... and so on for displaying in TOC.
    After completion of document writing, place cursor where a TOC is to be displayed.
                   Insert > Table of Contents > Document
    A table of contents generates automatically.
    Regards,

  • Adding More Text Sizes

    I am managing our website, and would like to add more text size options to the body.  I am assuming that I can add more sizes to this section of code?
    what is the correct way to code that or insert it in cs4?

    font-size: 12px;

    No, you can't add multiple text sizes for the body. You need to overide the text size set on the body by specifying it in one of your other css selectors
    So for instance:
    If I wanted text a different size in a section of my page it would need to be in a container with a 'class' or 'id' assigned to it
    <div id="textSize2">Some text</div>
    #textSize2 {
    font-size: 20px;
    <td class="textSize3">Some text</td>
    .textSize3 {
    font-size: 16px;
    Maybe you are takling about doing a complete change of text size in terms of assessibility whereby the user can choose small , medium or large text to view the site?
    In that case you would need to switch a set of linked stylesheets on mouse click

  • Use More Text Effects in AE

    Hi,
    my problem (as a beginner) is that i want to try out some text effects. From watching tutorials i know there are plenty of text effects, but in my AE CC i only have TWO effects So i tried getting more by browsing presets with Adobe Bridge BUT everytime i try this the Bridge prgram just crashes...
    Are there other ways to find text effects in AE CC, or a way to fix Bridge, or any other solution?

    The problem is that you are confusing effects with animation presets. They are different things. You are not actually looking for "text effects"; you are looking for "text animation presets".
    See these pages:

  • Create A Link to More Text on the Same Page?

    I want to know how to make a link that says "MORE" that will reveal additional text on the same page.
    I am NOT referring to a link that will scroll the user to a different part of a page.
    I am talking about a page with a lenghty amount of text that is kept hidden, until the user clicks on the word "MORE" to expand it. (Or, I usppose, "LESS" to make it disappear again.)
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you looked at Spry Widgets?  Accordion or Collapsible panels might work.

  • [SOLVED] Syslinux start-up text weirdness.

    Hi guys,
    Trying out Syslinux as I really hate GRUB2 (maybe it reminds me too much of Ubuntu). All good apart from the initial boot process crawl, which momentarily turns into Klingon:
    Weird how it's only that portion of the text. This is on VMware Server; haven't tried it on a real machine yet. Any thoughts?

    I'll do the same on my spare laptop. I'm thinking it's a console font thing, but there have been so many changes to the core install CD I really don't know. I had GRUB2 running before I installed Syslinux and didn't remove it – maybe that has something to do with it but who knows?
