Pages 5 - "TEXT" in background - Can't remove?

I bought a Pages template collection from the app store (Nick Maskill - Document Pro for Pages). I am using one brochure template (architecture).
There are several "blocks" in the brochure, each either blue or white. A headline and paragraph text appears in each.
Behind two of the blocks of text, there is text that simply says: Text ....Looks like Times Roman -- which is NOT what the template is using.
I've moved the headline and paragraph text block out of the way, but I still can't click on this background TEXT to get rid of it.
I've tried moving a shape on top of it to cover it up, but when I drag a square to cover it -- the TEXT just slides out of the way.
I try to right-click on it, but there are only 3 options, to copy, paste or delete. None have any effect.
Any ideas how I can get rid of this TEXT???
I'm using the LATEST version of Pages (2013) and this template says it is compatible.

Brad,
Your Shape has Wrap set to Automatic, I would imagine. That would explain text running away from it.
A better approach would be to eliminate the unused Text Box. Since you have trouble selecting it, I'd guess that it is set to be a Section Master. If so, there are two ways to select it. 1. Go to Arrange > Section Masters and Make Master Objects Selectable. Then click on the word Text. 2. position your pointing device cursor in one of the upper corners of the document window, just inside what would be the corner of the page. Then hold down the Command Key as you drag across the page until the text box is encountered.
When selected, the sizing handles of a Section Master object are yellow-filled circles. Once Selected, hit Delete.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc. I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file. Here is what I did/found:
In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before. The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
I hope this helps others out there.

I exported my bookmarks to do a clean install, but now my exported file is nothing but pages of text. How can i retrieve my bookmarks?

I backed up my firefox bookmars, and the file that came out of it is no specific file type. Even in the properties, it just says "File type: File".
So now i'm trying to restore my bookmarks, but I can't open that file. If i try opening the file itself with firefox or any other browser for that matter, I get long pages of text. It does contain my bookmarks, but it's really hard to read. What can i do to fix this?

That is a JSON backup. 
You need to rename the file and add a .json (lowercase) file extension to make Firefox recognize the file as a JSON backup.
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
Note that restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks.

Logon Page - Trademark text and background color

Hi Guys,
I just customized the Logon Page of the Portal successfully. The only two things which are missing are the trademark as well as a new background color. So ... can anybody tell how to:
1. Change the SAP Trademark text in the Logon Page?
2. Change the background color of the background page?
Hopefully I can do it in the portal. Thanks for your answers and your help.
Best regards
Alexander

Alexander,
In addition to the tips you already got from the other members...
1. The Background colour is the background colour that is defined in the theme assigned in the Default Portal Desktop (defaultDesktop) that is located in the folder: pcd:portal_content/every_user/general/. By default the Tradeshow theme is selected in this desktop if you create your own theme and assign it to this desktop and set it as default then the background colour of your theme will be the background colour visible in the login page....
2. The Trademark text is a "Locale text" this means that the strin is not visible in the code but referenced by a variable based on the language of the browser. You can find this copywrite text in the following location:
a. Download the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file from your Portal
b. Import it in NWDS or unzip it.
c. inside the structure look for the folder PORTAL-INF\lib
d. there is a .jar file called umelogonbase.jar. extract this file with winzip
e. inside the structure you now see allot of .properties files.. look for the loginLabels_<yourcountrycode>.properties and inside this file look for the variable called "COPY_RIGHT" there you can edit it.
f. do this for all the languages you need and create a new par file again in your customer namespace so that you don't overwrite the one from SAP.
Good Luck,
Benjamin Houttuin

Text in Illustrator CS6 displays the red plus sign but there is no overset text. How can I remove?

I have some text blocks in Illustrator CS 6 that display the red plus sign that indicates overset text but there is no overset text. It occurs in files that were created with earlier versions of Illustator and now we are reworking them. It can't be deleted. I have cut the text in the box and pasted it into a new text box to no avail. It is not a screen artifact. I have tried copying everything in the file and pasting it into a new file and the little red plus sign comes along. It doesn't print, of course, but is driving me crazy...

I just tried, but the text is point type, not area type, so expanding the box makes the type bigger and doesn’t show extra space that might be there. Looking at the hidden characters doesn’t show any extra returns. I also have a few of these plus signs that seem to be completely disembodied, just floating in space apart from any visible text. Thanks for your suggestion, though.

When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type is white on a white background even though the default color is black. Can someone help?

When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type appears white instead of the default black color. I can highlight the text, once I find it, but it will not change to anything other than a light purple.

Those are the symptoms many users ran into with an early update to Snow Leopard that never was fixed in the updates available through Software Update & not having the iWork apps updated. The problem was not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind. Now that you're running Lion, this generally isn't a problem.
But making sure the iWork apps are updated is essential. If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

Background image - can't remove it !!

I'm new to pages and a medium mac user. I have just started a brochure using the template in pages. However, it has an object or text box that is a hibiscus flower & is in the background - but I can't select it - so I can't remove it. I've looked at help - is it a master object ? HELP. I need to get rid of it !

Hi Kathie,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The question you're asking involves a poorly documented feature of Pages. Here's how to do it: click on View > Show Layout. You'll notice the document margins appear. Click outside the margin, and the cursor will disappear. Now drag your cursor to the edge of the object, and it will highlight. Good luck.

Apex 4.0.0.00.46 version

Help would be appreciated
Regards
Narender B

Hi,
It is not clear what you are seeing here. Also we don't know how you have integrated Apex with EBS. My guess is you have linked an Apex page to the EBS menu and when you click on the menu link you see the additional text on the Apex page.
You need to give details of how you have integrated Apex with EBS and where and when this additional text is being displayed for me to give you any help on this issue.

Hi,
CSS is interpreted by your browser, so server cache seems unlikely in htis case. There is however some hierarchy in CSS, so parts of the APEX CSS, theme CSS or page CSS might overwright or block yours.
Does changing the CSS on runtime affect your page? Eg, run the following in your browser console and see if your page turns black: $('#uBodyContainer').css("background-color","black")
Also try moving up your css in the hierarchy labeling it as important:
div#uBodyContainer {
background-color:#000000 !important;

How can I remove all returns within the text?

I copied and pasted text onto pages from the internet, but the text does not go all the way to the end of the set margins that i have on Pages, instead it goes about halfway or so and begins on a new line. how can i remove all of the spaces between the words so that it runs the full length of the page.
It blows my mind that i have to resort to seeking help on the apple forums for this problem, it seems like something so simple would be a standard feature when adjusting text on the page. The only thing that could frustrate me more is if it impossible to do on this software, or if it is simple to do and I was too stupid to figure it out. If it is impossible then I'm **** out of luck because the document is just to **** long to sit there for hours and manually delete every single last return.

Not to preempt your fun of playing with AppleScript, but here's my take on it:
tell application "Pages"
 tell document 1
 -- Make sure there's no selection
 select insertion point before character 1
 set cc to count characters of body text
 set returnOffsets to (character offset of every character where it is return)
 -- Reverse order, since deletion would alter all subsequent offsets
 repeat with n in reverse of returnOffsets
 if (n > 1) then
 if n < cc and character (n + 1) is return then
 -- Treat double returns as a true paragraph break.
 -- Delete the extra.
 delete character n
 else if character (n - 1) ≠ return then
 -- Change single returns into spaces.
 set character n to " "
 end if
 end if
 end repeat
 end tell
end tell

Dear sirs! how can i remove green tree in the upper part of mozilla page?

I can not to remove this big green tree. is any possibility to do it or not. thanks in advance.

What is the url of the page? Without such information, can't really provide specific directions that would be sure to work as you make others guess at what you might be looking at. I don't recall seeing a picture of a tree at a Mozilla site.
Typically you can use these extensions together to block undesirable items that slow things down or make for ugly or kindergartenish like appearances of Mozilla pages.
* Stylish :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
* Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/elemhidehelper/
It is probably a background image, which you should be able to identify the image and block with Adblock Plus using "Open Blockable Items (Ctrl+Shift+V)"
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

How can I remove the by-default text in the drop-down box in a fill-in-the-blank answer?

I have this text in English "Select" for each drop-down list that is big enough:
It appears in French at my project manager's place (in France).
Question 1: Can we remove that text totally?
Question 2: How can I make sure it will only appear in English?
Many thanks
