Pages: How do I edit the text?

After I typed the text, I moved the text box to the specific area. Then I wanted to change the text info. I could not! I could not highlight or edit the text? You know what I should do?

We really don't know what you are talking about, we can't see your screen and you have not really described what you doing.
Just guessing, you are talking about Pages 5, on a Mac, in OSX 10.9?
Apple has removed so many features (over 90+) and the rest are either buggy or awkward.
Why not just use Pages '09 which is still in your Applications/iWork folder if that is what you know?

Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book mo

Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book module? I can click into any other text window and edit and change attributes but I am locked out of editing text when it comes to the spine of the book. I spoke to Blurb support and they referred me to Adobe. I spent 45 minutes with support here - no one knew. I am still waiting for a call back with an answer... not holding my breath as it's been a few hours now. HELP!!!

Thanks for your reply John. I have experienced all the fiddly aspects you mentioned - these are attributes and although changing them requires the skill of a surgeon's hand - it's the actual editing of the text I can't seem to access anymore. The box just won't allow me to do anything except change attributes. Does that make sense? And it's only on the spine where I am having this issue. Puzzled! I have even rebooted the program and just now the computer - to no avail.

What is the file format of the vector you downloaded? Custom Shapes have a .PSP extension, and are placed according to this table.
Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CC
They will then be loadable from the Custom Shapes drop down — click on the cog icon > Load shape > Find your downloaded vector.
Once placed in the image, it will appear as a Shape layer, and can be edited with the Path, and Direct Selection tools (black and white arrows on the toolbar)

How do I edit the text in a pdf file that has been converted to a Word doc

In Pages, how do I edit the "My Card" data?

in Pages, how do I edit the "My Card" data?
I can't get a sender field to select my Email address or mobile phone.
I've searched the Help file for "My Card" and come up with nothing.
I've looked in My Contacts and edited the data where my name has a little blue bust (figuring MAYBE that's the My Card),
but everything looks correct in there, so the sender field isn't pulling data from here.
So WHERE DO SENDER FIELDS COME FROM?

Peter:
First of all, THANKS for the quick reply. However it’s not working, either from the Link Inspector, or directly from the Menu. Here’s the steps to reproduce the problem:
I start with a new blank document, then pull down the Insert menu / Sender Field / Name / First Name, all it does is insert the word “First Name” into the document.
Pull down the Insert menu / Sender Field / Phone / Home Phone, all it does is insert the words “Home Phone”.
Same with all the other fields.
In other words, Sender Fields are not pulling data from the Contacts list.
I have done as you suggested, even closing both the Pages program AND Contacts, then starting Contacts first before starting Pages, in the hope that the link between the two will be established when starting Pages. Still no good.
I got it to work once last night (which was a good sanity-check for me to know I was doing it right) after editing my contact data inside the Contacts program, but I can’t get it to work today. I’ve tried rebooting, restarting Contacts, starting contacts BOTH before and after starting Pages. But it still won’t go.
It’s hard to believe this program is an Apple product, seeing how unreliable it is.
Any other suggestions?

How do I edit the text in a PDF

I have a PDF document written by someone else. Using Adobe Pro X, how do I erase the text and replace it with new text?. I don't want to edit anything but the text (leaving all photos and graphs intact). Basically, the document is written in German and I wanto do through the document and replace all German text with the English translations. I am new to Adobe and I just can't figure this out. Thank you for your help.

As PDF is not a "word processing" format heavy editing such as you describe has a high probability of damaging the PDF.
While the TouchUp Text tool supports minor "touch ups" it is not designed to support word processor like content editing.
Regarding removal of PDF page content. You can use the Redaction tool for that.
Read the Help topics on this so as to use the tool properly (if you want full removal of the selected content).
You might consider use of the Text Edit feature - this supports cross-out of selected text and has an associated pop-up into which you could enter the English.
Regardless, consider making "work" copies of the original PDF as, again, more than minor "touch up" can (and often does) result in making a PDF unusable.
Be well...

How Do I Edit a Text File in PowerShell??

How do i edit the text (or paragraphs) in text files using PowerShell?
Thak You

Hi,
That's a pretty broad question, do you have something specific you're trying to accomplish?
As one example though, this will create an input file (you could just use one you already have, but this is a fully contained example), read it, replace the word 'text' with the word 'fun', and write an output file:
$exampleFile = @"
This is some text.
This is some more text.
This is even more text.
$exampleFile | Out-File .\input.txt
(Get-Content .\input.txt ).Replace('text','fun') | Out-File .\output.txt
Don't retire TechNet! -

How to Edit the Text in Flash?

Hi there,
I want to know that how to change the text on the Flash

Currently, I want to edit the text on the home page.

1. click on the text. in the properties panel it will say
static text, dynamic text or input text.
2. if it's static text, click on the text tool and click
inside your text. then edit. if it's not static text, you can do
the same thing, but the text will be changed by actionscript during
run-time IF text was originally assigned by actionscript.

How to edit the text generated by OCR

Using Arobat Pro 8 I have scanned in a booklet with text in it. The OCR function has made it searchable and Read Out Loud too but how do I edit this text as some pages have errors on them due to graphics on the page interfearing with them. I tried using Document > OCR Text Recognition > Fin all OCR Suspects but nothing comes up!
Thx
Kevin

Since there are "Image Only", "Image and Hidden Text" and "Text" pdfs that can be created by OCRing, you can only edit the PDFs that have visible text.

How do I get the text to flow throughout more then one page.

Hello,
I am currently using LiveCycke Designer to create a scholarship for my company. I created fields for the form and I would like to insert a text to describe the scholarship. When I insert the text, it doesn't flow onto the next page. I've tried creating a subform and clicking "flowed" and "allow page breaks within content". I also clicked auto-fit for the height, but it just makes a line. For the text box, I've clicked "Expand to fit on the height". It is also a dynamic XML Form. Is there anything else I should be doing?
I could always send the file to someone to see if they can figure it out.
Thank you,
Natalie

Thank you so much !

Subject: How do I get the text to flow throughout more then one page.
Here is the corrected form..Even you you set the Subform type to "Flowed" to the subform where the Text box resides, you did not set the Page1 to Flowed (which is the key)..But when I make the Page1 type to "Flowed", all your fields above the Scholrship text boxes' Subform will go one below another.. To fix this, first I have select all the fields and wrap them into a subform and then set the Page1 to Flowed..

How can I get an Extension's toolbar icon to display image without text (without universally affecting other icons)? How can I edit the icons text (save space)?

"From the Show dropdown menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars: icons, text, or icons and text together. By default, Firefox shows icons only." Is there a way to choose an individual setting for a specific toolbar icon to be icon only (no text) without universally affecting all other icons on the toolbars?
Second, is there a way to edit the text on a specific toolbar button from an extension (because it occupies too much horizontal space on the toolbar due to the amount of text)? I do know how to locate the xpi file & open it with notepad, but then it's mainly code (not English) & FIND doesn't locate the button's text (to edit it).
These 2 questions should apply to Extension buttons in general. However IF it makes any difference I'm referring to the Toolbar Button in Back To Top 7.0 which says "Go to top/bottom". I'd at least like to edit out "Go to", but my questions apply to other Extension buttons too. I do realize it may be necessary to redo any fix/change each time there is an update? THANK YOU.

We use the DOM Inspector to find the IDs and Class Names of elements.
* DOM Inspector: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/dom-inspector-6622/
The DOM Inspector (DOMi) has a menu item (Edit > Select Element By Click) and a toolbar button "Find a node to inspect by clicking on it" (left icon on the toolbar in the DOMi).
* open the browser window in the DOMi (File > Inspect <b>Chrome</b> Document) and choose the first from the list.
* click the "Find a node to inspect by clicking on it" button and use the keyboard (Alt Tab) or the Task bar to go back to the browser window (do not click in the browser window other than the title bar).
* click that element with the mouse and keep the button pressed until you see a red border to indicate the the DOMi has located that element in the DOM tree.

How do i change the text in a submenu diffrent than the page name? I want it wrap into two lines

How do i change the text in a submenu diffrent than the page name? I want it wrap into two lines or be a diffrent title but i can't figure out how to make any changes to the text.

Hello,
Text in Menu/Submenu canno tbe changed while using menu widget. However, if you use the Manual Menu option, then you can create your own Menu and add the hyperlinks according to your requirement.
To create Manual Menu, please follow the steps below :
1) In the Widget palette, go to "Menus" click and drag "Vertical/Hrizontal" into your artboard/workspace
2) Click on the widget itself to a blue arrow appears to the right
3) There is a drop down called "Menu Type" set it to "Manual" (as shown in screenshot) :
4) Now You can create your own Menu and add your own text and hyperlink to this Menu.
Hope this helps.

Sachin

How can I edit the file name of the home page?

How can I edit the file name of the home page?
Gr Ammani

I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
Thanks,
Emelia
