Overset text / text threading / little red box / shortcut ??

When I have overset text, there is a little red box with an X in it.
I click on it, and then I can "thread" the text into another text box.
However, sometimes it is hard for me to click on that little red box — I click and I click, until FINALLY I get it.
Is there a shortcut ?  They put the little red box RIGHT NEXT to another little square.

I think that was the live corners tool? I can't remember, I turned it off ASAP because it interfered with me getting at the overset text indicator. Yup, it was View -> Extras -> Hide Live Corners. Especially frustrating when you're dealing with many small text frames.
Sometimes - especially when someone has not used layers in a document and I'm dealing with a single layer with a stack of twenty overlapping objects - I find it easier to draw a new text frame, then click on its in-port and connect it to the out-port with the red symbol/overset text indicator. Because  it's true, it's sometimes awfully difficult to get to the outport to load up your place gun with the overset text.

  • What is the little red square with a E inside mean

    When I look at music to buy I notice a little Red Box with a E inside it, what does this mean please ( red box with a E inside ) , Thankyou

    I'm glad someone else asked this question. They should really find a new way to mark something as explicit because I was not sure if it meant explicit or edited. Yes, even thou I know some songs/albums have the word edited in the description.

    Also, the dark green line at the top of the audio clips in the Timeline indicate that the clips' specs probably don't match the Sequence settings. Are trying to you use 32khz audio in a 48khz Sequence?

  • 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.

  • Is it possible for a third party to be added to an esatblished text message thread?

    Is it possible for a third party to be added to a text message thread (between 2 people). This test message thread has been established for over a year! He says he could see our message history via his icloud. Is this possible? Please help.....

    How "third party" are we talking about here.....? Not another user (usually family) who has access to the same Apple Id, is it? I know, that seems too obvious.....
    Could you explain the situation a little more? Did you or the other party forward your iMessage ("text" between "i" devices/Mac users) to this 3rd party? How did this 3rd party end up with any portion of your conversation (or is that the question)? I know it is easy to forward a portion of your conversation to another user. When you choose to forward a "text bubble", you receive round check boxes next to all messages in the conversation; you just pick and choose how much you want the 3rd party to receive. Other than that method, I know of no way to loop in a 3rd party to an existing conversation via iPhone or iPad.
    Anyone else?
    Best of luck,
    Bill

  • Display medium text in a 'set filter' box

    I have a hierarchy and populated all levels of text(small, medium, and long).  We want to display the medium text when reporting.  I have made all the required changes to display the medium text of the hierarchy for reporting.  That works great!  However, when you hit the 'set filter value', the filter box shows the hierarchy with the small text.  Is there a way to change the text display for the filter box?
    Thanks,

  • Using Item UIDRef, can we get data as set in "text on path option" dailog box for each "text on path" item

    Hi all,
    I have a Item UIDRef but facing a problem for getting data as set in "text on path option" dailog box for each "text on path" item.
    What I did:
    - Getting the  pointer "IMainItemTOPData" using item UIDRef as
      InterfacePtr<IMainItemTOPData> mainItemTOPData(shapesUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
    - This interface has the method GetTOPOptionData () which return ITOPOptionsData pointer
    - But SDK don't have "ITOPOptionsData" class implementation.
    Second Approch:
    - Used "ITextOnPathSelectionSuite" and getting the correct result for Desktop plugin.But I want the correct result in server plugin also.
    Anyone who has an idea how to get this using UIDRef, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Jitendra Kumar Singh

  • Why is selected text in the Twitter search box not highlighted?

    Selected text in the Twitter search box is not highlighted. It should be highlighted. So far as I've noticed, this is the only place where my system doesn't highlight text properly. I can't find any references to this problem with the Twitter search text highlighting anywhere from anyone other than me.
    I'm using Firefox 12 on Windows XP Home with the XP classic theme.
    Image http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd329/Sharcel-Bellic/Twittersearchbox.png
    The word "This" in the above image should be highlighted.

    Such issues have been reported as caused by a PNG image with a white color for the background.
    A right-click on that search bar and opening the Inspector and disable the .global-nav .form-search .search-input { []background-color: transparent;} rule also makes this work.<br />
    This works only as long as the search bar has focus.<br />
    Not sure which rule is causing the selection not to work if the focus is removed.

  • How do I change text size in a check box in CS3

    How do I change text size in a check box in CS3?

    While I've never done it myself for a checkbox, components
    have a textField property which is essentially the texfield inside
    the component. You probably need to apply a TextFormat to it to
    change the size.
    But if this involves the same problem you had yesterday,
    where you couldn't change the width of the checkbox, I doubt you'll
    have much luck changing the text size

  • Text elements in drop down box

    Hi,
    I am working on text elements in drop down box for service request application. I have a requirement that the display of text elements in PCUI should be in such a way that
    depends on the role of the user. eg: for role 'X' some  text elements should be displayed and role 'Y' remaining text elements should be displayed. In SAP GUI all text elements should be displayed. I copied MAC of text data to ZCL_CRM_BSP_AM_SLS_TM and tried to add the logic in methods IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL~GET_ALLOWED_DDLB_VALUES
    IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL~FILL_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX
    when i put external break point none of this methods are touched. Instead it goes to the methods of the class CL_CRM_BSP_TEXTMANAGEMENT_SC. This method is buried deep inside. Should i copy all the standard classes above this class and do the modification? Is there any other way? Any help is highly appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Charan

    Hi Charan,
    You have mentioned that in GUI all text elements have to be displayed. Why is it so?
    If that's not the case then you can control it in PFCG authorizations. Object CRM_TXT_ID.
    If you provide authorizations for a specific role for specific text ids only, the same would reflect in PCUI also. Others may not appear in the dropdown.
    Please try.
    Regards,

  • Deleting text in a file dialog box via simulated keyboard strokes

    I am trying to delete text in a file dialog box via simulated keyboard strokes, but the key combination of SHIFT down - HOME - END - SHIFT up does not highlight the text as expected. I attach an example vi that opens its own file open box, enters a text string, which it should subsequently delete. But it is not deleting the text as expected. What do I need to change?
    Attachments:
    Test_Delete_Text_in_File_Dialog_Box.vi ‏40 KB

    Pbuerki,
    It looks like you are doing all the keystrokes correctly. My only guess as to why it is not highlighting is that the keybd_event function does not support advanced key code commands. The function is outdated and has been superseded. See the follow MSDN link for more information: MSDN keybd_event.
    There are probably some easier ways to accomplish your overall objective. What are you trying to do? Do you simply want to programmatically open a file?
    Have a nice day!

  • HT201285 How do you go to the very beginning of a text message thread?

    I am trying to go back to the very beginning of the text message thread that goes back about two years.  It just takes way to long to go back by clicking on the time and then selecting load messages.  Any suggestions on how to go to the very beginning of the text conversation?

    Unless it has actually been deleted just keep loading earlier messages. When it stops loading them, that will be as far back as you can go.
