No cursor in text box

Hi,
I can create a text box in InDesign CS4, but cannot get a cursor inside it to type text. This just happened because it worked before. It seems that InDesign works sometimes and at other times the same procedures do not work. I have windows XP Svc Pack2 and Indesign CS4 6.0.5. Thank you.

In that case, try Remove minor corruption by exporting
And check to see if the frame is locked, though at the moment I can't think of a way to lock frames by default.

  • New tabs open Google homepage correctly but with cursor in text box rather than search box.

    I have Google as my home page. When I open Firefox 7.0.1 the Google home page opens correctly with the cursor in the search box. I have set new tabs to also open in the home page. New tabs do open in Google but with the cursor in the text box rather than the search box. As I recall, this didn't happen before upgrading to 7.0.1 (actually, I think that I was using a tab configuration plug-in that may have been nuked in the Firefox update). This is driving me crazy, is there a solution for 7.0.1?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Labview 8: continuous cursor in text box

    Hi,
    I have made a basic instant messenger program with a text box that sends a message via a com port. When I press enter a "Send" button is operated and the string is sent, I then clear the text box. However to type another message the user has to click the text box again to bring up a cursor to type the next message. I would like the cursor to stay in the text box so the user doesn't need to click on the text box to type something else. I would also like to do this at the beginning of the program as well.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Solved!

  • Blinking cursor in text box by hitting tab

    I have an input text on stage. Normally when we want to type
    something in the text box we have to click the mouse in the text
    box. If I want the blinking cursor to appear in text box by just
    hitting tab button on keyboard, could it be done ?
    How ?
    Need help

    Joel, I am not sure what you mean by starting a new thread. The new material I placed in a new text box on a new page is less than a page wide and does not fill the text box.
    I file > placed the text and it came from Word. I did not copy and paste it.
    I do use CS4.
    There are no character styles or paragraph styles applied to the text. This is something I will add as the pieces are placed.
    The button to which you refer is in the upper right hand corner of my computer and the text to which you referred -- no break is unchecked.
    This is not the first time I have had trouble with text disappearing. I usually manage to make an end run and correct the problem in Word and then place the text again. However, whatever method I use is time-consuming, tedious and frustrating.
    No matter where I use the enter key in that text frame, text below the enter disappears and the out port then shows a plus (even though the text box is NOT full). If I click on the plus and add the text to a different text box, I get the text that disappeared. But that is not the result I want. If I try to take the text from the out port and put it back into the text box, where it belongs then I get text linked to text--a mess.
    There must be a cure for this problem.

  • After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?

    After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?

    Even simpler than that.
    Clicking once in a text box selects it.
    Clicking once in a selected text box places the insertion point in the box.
    The clicks do not need to be close enough in time to be read as a double click.
    The same behaviour applies to table cells in Pages and in Numbers.

  • How to set the cursor in a text box when the application starts?

    Hi. It's me again. Its seems to me that there isn't any Spanish speaker, so I reformulate my question in English. What I want is to place the cursor in the text box so that the user can enter the text. Could anybody help me? Thanks in advance. MamenFLASH$

    you can do that when your flash has focus.  (how you do it depends 
    on your as version).

  • I'm having problem with text boxes.  Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line.  Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

    You are absolutely right.  Thought Enter meant Enter.  I was wrong.  Thank you for the help.

  • In latest Nightly, arrow keys don't move the cursor but instead exit the text box. How can I fix this so that the arrow keys move the cursor?

    Using Nightly 28.0a1, I'm having a problem with the text box fields when typing. I use Hacker's Keyboard which has onscreen arrow keys and I find it more convenient than fiddling with a tiny cursor thumb when editing text. On the Play Store Firefox it works just fine but on Nightly, any time I try to move the cursor with the arrow keys it jumps out of the text box and highlights other elements on the page. This is annoying beyond belief as it means having to resort to that imprecise thumb cursor that takes forever to get where you want it. Is this a known issue with the latest nightly builds?

    Thanks for the report. I have filed bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=939959. It would be helpful to know and if you can comment into the bug to indicate which input field you are testing on.

  • The cursor jumps to wherever the pointer is while typing in text boxes.

    While typing in a text box, the blinking cursor will jump to wherever the mouse pointer is and begin inserting the typing there. It happens both on external mouse and on touchpad. It's only on Firefox, I've tested IE and it's fine. Sometimes it is the ' that causes it (I read up on the "jump to find" bug), but it seems to be mostly the spacebar that sets it off. I've had it happen on various websites, blogs, emails, internal site mailboxes, seems to be everywhere. Sometimes a FF restart helps, sometimes a computer restart helps, sometimes nothing helps.
    I've also had site pages jump "back" in the middle of typing in a text box as well. At first I thought I was hitting the touchpad while typing by mistake but it happens with the external mouse as well. I have the touchpad disabled while ext. mouse is used.
    FF is Version 3.6.10, and I'm on laptop.
    Plleeeeezzze don't tell me I have to go back to IE. ewwwww

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!

  • Cursor jumps unprompted when typing to previous line of text or text box

    Recently I have been experiencing this phenomenom:
    When I am tying in Word or an email (Gmail) my cursor will ocassionally and unexpectedly jump to a line of text a few lines above where I am typing or in some cases a previous text box (in the case of Gmail).
    Anyone have an idea what the cause/fix is? I called Apple support and they didn't want to diagnose over the phone, assuming a software issue that would not be covered by my call-in period.

    Same problem same system. Is your model a 17"? I've been to the Genious bar, and shipped the unit to Texas for repair. Apple has yet to publish a resolution to this issue.
    I suspect it's the NVIDIA 8600GT graphics card.

  • Frequently, when I click a text box to enter text, Firefox will display multiple vertical text cursors.

    This problem began with the recent update to Firefox 4. It happens most regularly in the Google search box but can also happen in any text box within Firefox. Usually I highlight the text box to enter text and I will see the normal text cursor (blinking vertical line) as well as one or two additional non-blinking vertical lines positioned after the blinking one. I can enter text and all visible (blinking or not) cursors move to the right. When I delete a line of text it often leaves a string of solid vertical lines.
    I never had this problem in version of Firefox prior to 4.0 and upgrading to 5.0 did not fix it. It got so annoying that I started using a different browser, which I would rather not do because I like Firefox. I have spent a number of hours trying to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it with no luck. Any help resolving this issue would be much appreciated.

    I deleted cookies and cleared cache and (so far) problem appears to be solved thank-you.

  • Whenever I type in a text box I cannot click somewhere else in that text box to edit a word instead I have to use the cursor keys to go back why would a new browser have this basic problem?

    after clicking once in a text box I can not click anywhere else in said text box or i loose the ability to type/edit the text. This is a problem this browser has had since the beta is it specific to Mac's or what because I see this as a major problem. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and everything. I now officially hate your browser. also whenever i go to start it a pop up comes up that says error.... and then i click ok and i can run the browser same thing happens whenever a pop-up comes up it does not block pop-ups and i have the pop-up blocker on i truly hate this browser! The pop-up that comes up says this "can't create mcafee plug-in object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" elaborate please!!!!!!!

    I am not even a Mac user but a suggestion
    #try disabling McAfee site advisor if you have it installed
    #if that helps then try updating it to the very latest version
    Also you mention Beta versions of Firefox. If there is any possibility that you have been using multiple versions of Firefox, then note it would be a good idea to ensure each is used in its own separate and unique [[profiles|profile]]
