Objects (lines) and text boxes are not able to be made bigger or smaller

first of all: For no reason at all, all of my text boxes are now set up as threaded text.  I dont know how that turned on.  When i go to "type"
and try to select "threaded text" it wont allow me to select it - it is not highlighted.  So I have no clue
how to turn this off.  Now I can not stretch my text boxes to suit whats in them - ie: make them bigger or smaller, ie:  there are only two boxes to drag - one at either side of text box and they wont allow me to drag them to make the box bigger - only to move the entire box (before there were 4 boxes to manipulate the size of the text box - one on each corner - now there are only two)    and this seems to apply
to many other objects now.  when i draw a line, I have to make sure that line is the exact right size because once i draw it - it wont allow me to make it bigger or smaller - it only allows me to move it to a different place - i dont understand what is happening

thanks for writing back
i am pretty sure it is area type because in type i can see "area type options"
i dont know how to turn bounding boxes on or off so I can not answer that question.
yes i should be able to resize the bounding text box by dragging and ive always been able to do that.  however I can no longer do that.  the usual bounding text box that i am accustomed to has little teeny boxes all around the entire box - in each corner - so i can drag each corner easily
this set up that has currenly taken over my illustrator program has only TWO little teeny weeny boxes that when selected wont allow me to drag them to resize at all.  when i double click on one of these two little teeny boxes it gives me the thread text tool... which i dont want and have never even used before
i just want my text boxes and everything else to go back to normal so i can drag them to resize them again
does that make more sense or have i explained it better?
thanks for your help!  Kim

  • Text boxes are not visible

    Hello. A page in my InDesign document appears to be broken. Text boxes are not visible, they can only mark if I choose command + a. Then I can copy the object and paste into another document in which they appear. You can not delete the page when the crash program. What could be wrong?

    Re text boxes not visible try: View > Screen Mode > Normal.
    It's not a good idea to copy and paste, use Place: File > Place.
    Re your crashing, maybe you should reset your Preferences.

    But If load the same applet on the same client by upgrading the plug-in to 1.4.2, it works. Is this a known bug in Java plug-in 1.4.1?

  • Chart and text items are not synchron

    hi all,
    i am a newbie in apex 4.0.
    i have two regions. the first shows a chart, based on pl/sql-code. second shows text items for possible filter an the current statement of the chart.
    when user clicks on a bar in the chart then
    1. i set the the first text item as filter,
    2. a pl/sql-code runs, build a sql statement, assign the sql statement string to the second text item and
    3. returns the statement for the chart.
    it works fine. the chart refresh. and the data i can see are correct.
    but the text items in the other region doesn't refresh.
    when i press "refresh"-button at browser level everything is fine. chart and text items fits together.
    what can I do to refresh all regions when the chart changes the sql-statment / User clicks?
    Is there any way to read out the current statement of a chart?
    thx in advance

    Bernd: the reason I asked about views is that you don't have any error messages. This might indicate that (a) you have no items in the view, or (b) there's something wrong with view-role-user assignment.
    To check for (a), please go to the published procurement catalog, and go to Views tab. Check that your View is Active. Click on your View ID link to display view details. You should see a list of characteristics assigned to your view in Assign Characteristics sub-tab (the list should not be blank!). Go to Assign Items sub-tab. Navigate in your schema to find items that are supposed to be assigned to your view. You should see "Yes" in the "Assigned" column for those products. If you don't, then you simply don't have any items in your view.
    Another thing I'd like you to check: when the user calls your procurement catalog for search, do you see the name of the catalog displayed just below the drop-down "Select Categories Hierarchically"?
    Cheers,

  • My ring and text tones are not working?

    Both my ring tone and text alert tone are not working. I'm only made aware I have a call or text message through the phone's vibration. I have checked all the 'Sound' settings and all appears to be fine and ringer volume slid to high.
    Do I need to reboot this phone for them to work as I'm not sure how to do this? I'm using iPhone 4 version 5.0.1
    Would I loose all my files and apps on my iPhone after rebooting?
    Appreciate any clear help and advice on this popular subject that is available.
    Best wishes

    Thank so much Ingo2711, your suggestion has solved my problem. I am so new to the iPhone I didn't realise it had a handy little mute button and it was infact switched onto 'mute'.
    And thank you for the rebooting advice too.

  • Text boxes are not interactive until the PDf is downloaded

    So, what I am trying to do is send PDF files to clients and have them type there name in a text box, but when I send the email and they view the PDF file the text box is non interactive, the text box only becomes interactive after they download the PDF file. I would like them to be able to sign it without downloading it, Thanks.

    What software does the client use to view the PDF file?

  • "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error keeps popping up and text messages are not being received on Droid Maxx I got less than 2 weeks ago.

    I upgraded to a Droid Maxx about 2 weeks ago and all seemed well. Last Friday, I started receiving an "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message randomly--sometimes when I was writing a text, sometimes when I would open other apps, there was no rhyme or reason to when it would occur. Now it also appears that I am not receiving some of my texts. I called Verizon Support who told me that they are experiencing this problem on several devices and that she was going to forward me to someone for help. 20 minutes later, no one had picked up and I had to leave. So I thought I would try here to see if Verizon has come up with a fix for this, if I should get another phone, or if they are working on a software update or something. Help, I really liked this phone until now!

    Hello,
    I am using the messaging app that was preloaded with the phone, the green face icon. I do not have an "Android Keyboard" app, but I have cleared the cache on the "Messaging" app, several times. I have also gone to the Verizon store where an associate did a soft reboot, telling me that would work. A very short time later, the error message started appearing again--so this did not work either.
    The error message comes very sporadically. Sometimes several in a few minutes, other times not for hours.

  • Facetime and Text msgs are NOT working

  • Changes made to a pdf file (i.e. adding a text box) are not visible in iBooks but work OK in other programs like docs to go?

    Anyone know why that is or how to correct it?

    Thanks, Demo, I'll give that a shot. On the other hand, I really don't want to have some files in iBooks and other ones in Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader will let me organize them in folders, it might be a great solution.
    However, there's no ".pdf management" involved here. It's simply "Read the #%€\#^% .pdf file I gave you" and there is nothing to "manage". Whatever opinions Apple has about Adobe, .pdf is a fact of life and should not require any handstands and backsprings just to read a file. (Are you listening, Apple?) I refinanced my home with .pdf files; print it, sign it, scan it, e-mail it back. (OK, calm down, it'll be all right... Sigh...)
    Whatever the result, I'll report back.
    Thanks again.

  • Got a used iPod touch 4th gerneration, and most apps are not able to be d/l with iOS6. Is there a way to get the older, compatible apps on my iPod touch?

    How do I get older versions of apps to download to my iPod touch 4th generation?

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
