Paste as Background option grayed out

I'm using Captivate1. When I edit a slide, I select Copy
Background, edit it in Paint, copy it from Paint and try to Paste
as Background into Captivate. The Paste as Background option is
grayed out. It doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes I have to
close the project and reopen it and the option is working. This
time it doesn't work. There's nothing in online help about this so
I hope someone in the forum might shed some light on this.
Thanks.

I started tracking what I was doing before the graying out
occurred. It seems like if I copy and tweak (in Paint) more than 8
or so backgrounds in a row, then the Paste as Background option
grays out. It's like the system is tired of me copy and pasting
back into Captivate. When I shut everything down and reopen it,
then the paste memory clears and the option is available. Now by
all means, this is not a technical explanation for what happens,
but it's just what I'm observing.
And yes, I'm patiently waiting for the powers that be to
approve my upgrade to Cap2.
Thx

  • Scripe error ? option grayed out

    I
    I When I go to edit my page an alert pops up ... an error has occured in the scripe on this page . What does this mean and what is it doing to the program or preventing me from doing ?
    I have a lot of options grayed out and not able to use when editing or making new pages? <<  highlight color, change text color, change size, change fonts. >> resizing images, page properties 5 out of 7 options grayed, etc. ... I checked under Administrators and all there looks okay and I am the only one using the program. I have gone to the Administrator Settings, then styles/fonts/size and all check for my use.
    OOnly on two of my main pages are all of the options available to use on either a New or Edit page but none are available on the other tabbed pages of my website. Even if I cut and paste a document the color, size and font changes to what is on the page.

    Don't make a text selection, but simply put your text cursor in the text with the new formats. Most likely, you have a mix of character formats selected.

  • In CP5 - problem with the 'Paste as Background' option

    Hi,
    Since I have started working with CP5 I am having issues with the 'Paste as Background' option.
    After I work with CP5, and use the option few times it disappears from the menu although I have an image copied to my clipboard.
    After I close Captivate and re-open it, the option appears again.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Merav.

    merav, have you run the recent update for CP5?  It fixed a lot of issues with the Background issues.
    Also, the Paste as background option is not there if you have "Use Master slide background" checked for the slide.  It defaults to "on" if you copy slides, for instance.

  • Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything.  Help!

    Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything.  These extra pages resulted from using Autoflow and now we can't seem to get rid of them.  Help!

    Good morning Old Toad.
    I did as you suggested:
    1) Booted from install CD.
    2) Ran Disk Utilities on internal hard drive--no repairs necessary. For good measure, did the same thing on external drive. Also no repairs necessary.
    3) Checked software update--no updates found. About this Mac said I was already running 10.4.7. For good measure, I downloaded the latest and installed it. Since it let me run the install, I'm not sure if I installed something new or reinstalled what I already had.
    4) I rebooted from CD, ran disk utilities, ran repair disk--no repairs necessary. Repaired permissions and a lot of permissions repaired.
    5) Tried to delete the files and the same old thing happened: kernel panic. The specific message:
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102A08): jnl: transaction too big (1587712 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x29f1fb0 bp 0x2801de40)
    So there's no change in my status.
    I'm trying to delete the files because:
    A) They already take .5 Gb.
    B) I can't get rid of them ever. If I move the problem files to a different folder, I can only do one successful drag-and-drop backup to the external drive until the "new" thumb segments become unerasable just like the previous versions and crash the system.
    C) I can't even "just" drag and drop every file/folder except the thumbs, because that ends up crashing the system as well. So I have to drag and drop every file/folder in the iPhoto hierarchy individually. Which makes me less inclined to backup, which defeats the purpose of a backup.
    D) After the iPhoto fiasco I'm just crabby about all the Apple screw-ups I'm experiencing and I want to get them fixed.
    Thanks for your help. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Why is the email option grayed out from iphoto sharing

    I am running iPhoto 9.5.1 on Mavericks.  When I select a photo and try to share it the share menu has email and all the social meida options grayed out.  Checking accounts in iPhoto my email accounts are there.  I tried deleting and reinserting the one I want to use and restarting iPhoto, but it is still grayed out.

    You need to update yoru profile - it says OS X 10.6.8
    In the iPhoto preferences select an email client (I personally prefer Mail) and if you are using iphoto enter your email information in teh accounts tab (If you use Mail it will use yuro existing sset up)
    Same for social media - enter your account information in the accounts tab

  • IMovie 9.0.4, all export options grayed out.  Have I missed a step?

    I'm still on OS 10.6 so I can't udate iMovie software.  I have a little movie, under 4:00, finished and want to export but all options grayed out.  Have I missed a finishing step or is this just an obsolete software/OS problem?  Thanks.  Chris

  • Why are the options grayed out??

    Why are the majority of my edit options grayed out.  I cant copy and paste

    OK. So we've established that you're in Photoshop CC on Windows 7 (nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat Reader).
    What exactly are you trying to do in Photoshop CC? Can you outline in detail what steps you're taking and what's confusing you?

  • Sip dialer port export option grayed out in configuration manager ucce 10

    Hi,
    I am configuring the outbound option for ucce 10, when i configure the sip dialer port (dialer conifguration) in conifiguration manager, i just added 5 ports, i can see this ports showing in dialer process on the PG, but i need to export this ports to Unified communication manager, i could not able to export it because this option grayed out (i did select all, or individual selection both are having export option grayed out)
    Any idea?
    with Regards,
    Manivannan

    Exporting port configuration is only allowed for SCCP, in SIP Dialer Deployment its actually not needed and that why its grayed out.
    //but i need to export this ports to Unified communication manager//
    in Sip Dialer you don't need to create any Port For Dialer under CUCM. its only required in SCCP.
    Sip Dialer port Directly registers with VG.

  • Dual Layer option grayed out in iDVD '08

    I have been struggling to get a movie burned for awhile, partly due to learning the software on my new iMac (2.4 GHz 24") and the other part spent learning the size requirement limits for a Dual Layer disc (not sure I have my project trimmed all the way down yet).
    I finally have what I think is a finished project, am ready to try to burn it and all of a sudden iDVD will not allow me to select "Dual Layer" as an option in the Project Info dialog (the option is locked on single layer and grayed out). I tried rebooting and that made no difference. The drive is the built-in DL burner.
    This is a new problem as I have been able to make this selection in the past. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    -John

    Is your project over 60 mins. but under 120 mins.? You'll have to address the project info window like this:
    You should have an option available to you under DVD Type to select DL as opposed to SL. If it's grayed out, quit iDvd and and relaunch the app again. You may have to do this more than once (assuming you are using the correct media and that your mac sees the appropriate DL burner).
    Plus you must select the appropriate media when burning to DL. I recommend using Verbatim or Maxell while troubleshooting on this forum. Thereafter you can choose whatever works best for you and your mac.
    In addition, please read the following from the iDvd08 Getting Started pfd:
    Checking the Project Info Window
    DVD projects can take up a lot of space on your hard disk, and it’s useful to know when
    you need to make more room. In addition, a DVD disc has a maximum capacity. As
    you’re working on your project, monitoring its size will ensure that everything fits.
    The Project Info window, shown below, provides all this information and more.
    To check the size of your project:
    m Choose Project > Project Info.
    Â The total size of your project, in running time (in minutes) and in size (in megabytes
    or gigabytes), shows below the Capacity meter on the far right.
    Â The Capacity meter shows how much of your project’s total size is used by each of its
    elements. The bands of color indicate what proportion of the project each element
    accounts for.
    Â The numbers below DVD-ROM, Slideshows, Menus, and Movies specify how much
    space (in gigabytes) each uses. When you click these numbers, the display switches
    to show the number of these items in your project and how many tracks they use. An
    iDVD project can have up to 99 tracks.
    DVD-ROM refers to the content you’ve specified to be added to the DVD-ROM
    portion of your burned DVD. The running time and size figures that appear below
    Menus reflect the total duration of all the menus in the project. You can have a total
    of 15 minutes of motion, such as video on buttons or in the background, in all
    menus. A project can include up to 99 menus.
    In general, the amount of content your iDVD project contains correlates to the quality
    of your burned DVD, given the encoding setting you have chosen. The white arrow in
    the Capacity meter points to the quality of your burned DVD. Quality is highest on the
    green portion of the Quality meter. If you have chosen Best Performance as your
    encoding setting, the entire Quality meter may be green.
    Hope this helps but if not come on back.

  • Outline and Styles option grayed out when composing message in mail

    When composing an email message using mail 6.2,I'm unable to view any styles options under the Format option in the toolbar as it's grayed out along with the Outline option. I do have the rich text button selected in my "New Message" toolbar in Mail and the text I want to apply the style changes to are selected.
    I need to be able to use options like outline,superscript,subscript,etc. that are available in other email programs like Thunderbird without having to compose my email in TextEdit first,then copying and pasting it into Mail.Permissions have been repaired,and I have all of the latest Apple updates installed. Attached is a screenshot showing the grayed out areas in Mail.

    Inspired Life,
    In the five weeks since I posted the question,yours is the first comment(no comment from Apple).
    I was able to find a work around for this issue by scouring the web for ideas,so this wasn't my solution.
    Go to: http://presscheck.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/how-to-highlight-text-in-yellow-using -apple-mail/
    While the example they make is for highlighted text,follow the guidelines to create other text styles as well.Once you've done that,they're available in Apple Mail.Just be sure to create a name for the each new style.

  • Time Machine not backing up 2nd external drive, remove option grayed out

    I have two external hard drives, 300gb (firewire) and 500gb (usb). Time Machine is backing up to the 300gb. In Time Machine's options, the 500gb is excluded from being backed up, and the remove option is grayed out.
    The 300gb Time Machine Backup drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended. The 500gb drive is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT32).
    I know the backup drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended, but will it not even back up other drives that are FAT32?

    I am having a similar problem. I initially set it up 3 days ago and had it back up just the iMac to Time Capsule (about 120 GB) which it did no problem (I initially had my LaCie drive excluded). I then un-excluded my other drive, where all my photos and music reside (about 130 GB). Since then, it keeps trying to back up about 102 GB each time. Looking at the list of backups it does not appear that it has ever successfully backed up the LaCie. I am not aware of any error messages, but I have not been home much. I normally shut down the computer at night but I have been leaving it on trying to let Time Machine do its thing. All I can say is that every time I am at the computer TM is running and it always looks like it is in the middle of backing up 102 GB (usually seems to be near the beginning, never seem to see it more than halfway done). Looking at the TM panel it says the latest backup was 2 days ago. I'd appreciate any advice!

  • "Recognize Text Using OCR" Option Grayed Out in Acrobat 9 Pro (9.5.1)

    Running Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.  I'm working with electronically filed court documents.  I regularly use the OCR tool (Document -> OCR Text Recognition -> Recognize Text Using OCR...) on these court documents.
    Problem is, every once in awhile, I'll run into a document where the "Recognize Text Using OCR" option is inexplicably grayed out.  I have no idea what is causing this.  I have checked the Document Properties and confirmed there are no security restrictions for the document.  It happens inconsistently, in that OCR will work with a document filed by an attorney in one case, but it won't work in the same kind of document filed by the same attorney in a different case.
    Any help getting OCR to work on these few rogue documents is appreciated!

  • "Approve" menu option grayed out when connected as ORCLADMIN in admin mode

    Hi everybody!
    When I connect to Content as ORCLADMIN and switch to administration mode, I cannot use the "Approve" option in the menu when I select a non-privilege user library creation pending request 'cause it's grayed out no matter what (also tried configuring another user to be a library administrator and receive requests for approval). I have OCS 10.1.2.0.
    Why can't I approve requests for library creation? Would it be a bug or I need to configure or grant something else?
    Thanks.

  • Printing with Black Cartridge Only option grayed out: Officejet 6000

    Trying to print a black and white photo in gray scale using only the black ink cartridge, unfortunately that option is grayed out. Is there some setting that has to be chosen first before black cartridge only option becomes available?
    I feel like I've tried just about every combination, but maybe I'm missing some minuscule, unintuitive step.
    Thanks

    Nope, its not a bug.  When you choose borderless the print region actually becomes bigger than the page to make sure there are no white gaps.  The ink that does not make it to the page is caught in a trough filled with foam just below the print zone.
    The color ink is a dye ink (like food coloring).  The black ink is a pigment ink - like carbon dust suspended in water.  When it is over-sprayed in the trough it piles up until the pile of pigment starts dragging and smearing on the back of every subsequent page!  Not good, so we do not allow the black cartridge to print when set to borderless.

  • Edit in Photoshop option grayed out ?

    Hello,
    Just upgraded from Lightroom V4.4 to V5.  After this upgrade I find that I can no longer select the option "Edit in Photoshop", the option is grayed out and is not selectable.
    I have Photoshop CS6 currently installed and don't have plans to upgrade to Photoshop CC (out of my price range).
    Anyone know if Lightroom V5 only interfaces with Photoshop CC now?
    Thanks!
    Bill

    I suggest that you try reinstalling either Lightroom or Photoshop, or even both. I have both Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 installed on my computer and Lightroom and Photoshop work together as expected. Lightroom 5 does NOT just interface with Photoshop CC. It will interface with any version that you have installed.
