Photoshop adds a stroke to my text -- bug?

Good afternoon!
I have several Photoshop CS3 files that are exhibiting a strange problem. This symptop ONLY happens when I create a new text layer in one of these files.
I create a new text layer and type some text. Then when I select part of the text and set it to a differnet color (so there are two separate colors being used in the same text layer), the text takes on a dark outline/stroke around it. No layer/blending options show that the text should be stroked. As soon as I change the text back to all one color, the stroke goes away.
I've attached a screenshot of the affected text.
What could be causing this? I've searched for a known PS CS3 bug but can't find one. If I create a new file, this symptom does not appear. But the affected file(s) behave exactly the same problematic way on any workstation they're opened on.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

No, no Layer Style.
I've found that if I choose "Reset Character" in the character palette, the stroke goes away and the layer (and newly created layers) behaves normally after that. But changing the settings in the character palette manually have no effect on the stroke.. Are there settings that are changed by "reset character" that aren't visible on that palette?

Is there a Layer Style indicated in the Text layer?

Need to add a cut line around text with a stroke

This has been driving me nuts for years and I've often found ways to "kind of" accomplish this, but I figured someone here might be able to help.
Create text, convert to outlines, add a stroke. Ok now I want to add a cut line around that entire thing so it's dye-cut out on vinyl. My cut line is just a stroke with a color defined in my pallet. I can create 2 strokes, but I can't figure out how to get one to go to the edge of the other. I also tried duplicating the image, creating just an outline, but it's impossible to get it exactly outlined by hand.
If I'm not explaining this right, please let me know.
So there I have the text, converted to outlines, white fill and gold stroke. I need to be able to dye-cut this. If you add a new stroke, it's on top of the old one. Basically I want to add a stroke, to the stroke, but only the outside.
Thanks in advance!!

Thank you Larry. I kind of followed what you said but I think there's some steps missing here?
I'm glad you showed me how to create additional strokes without creating outlines, I was never clicking above "character", I had to click above it to add a new stroke, if you have the text selected, it's greyed out.
Ok so I created a new stroke, then selected it, went to FX > Path > Offset Path. I chose 0.02 (closest I could seem to get, but not perfect, ok in some areas, bad in others), miter joins set to 4? Are those the same settings you used? You didn't tell me how much you offset yours. Then I selected the offset path stroke and went object > expand apperance, but it didn't seem to do anything? It just removed the offset path FX option on the stroke? This is where I'm pretty confused. Why even do the step after the offset, couldn't I just stop there and print?
After adding a stroke and offsetting
After selecting Object > Expand appearance.
As you can see, like on the C. There is a gap between the cut line and the stroke at the top, but there's no gap on the left side, but there is on the right, and there is on the bottom as well? If I printed this, I would get white fill, gold stroke, and then another white stroke basically.
Thank you for your patience, I'm self-taught but over the last 4 years of using it every day I'm still learning new tricks!

How can I add a stroke to only one side of text?

I'm probably misunderstanding what you want, so I'll just ask. Is this it?

How do I add a stroke to only the outside of a shape?

I'm trying to add a stroke to a logo for my company. It's basically similar to the shape of a donut so there is an open area the shape of a circle in the middle of the logo. When I add a stroke, it adds it to the outside of the logo, but also in that circle too. I only need the outside stroke. Is there a way to do just that? Using Photoshop CS6.

So, there's more to this logo, but here's the shape to which i've been referring. Long story short, the only way I have this is all in one layer. So I'm trying to put a stroke around the outside of the black without there being one in the inner circle and then removing the black color while leaving the gray. Is that possible if it's all one layer?

How can I add a third line of text to a title?

I am making a music video for my highschool students to teach about recycling and I want to add a title to the bottom with the song title, the name of the ficticious band and the ficticious record label.
I have tried to add the third line of text, but I can't seem to figure out how. the title needs to be superimposed on the actual video, so adding in a clip created in photoshop or something won't work. Think about the titles you'd see at the begginning and end of a music video, and that's pretty much what I am going for.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
PS this is my first post and my first mac, so be gentle

It does.
The whole trick is to use a transparent background and using .png as file-format for your superimposed graphics:

Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form

Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form in Numbers for iPhone or is it impossible and thus a serious bug?(Rating stars and numeric vales seem to work.)
Those bugs happen both for new speadsheets as well as existing onces, like the demo. When you are in the form only the numeric keyboard shows up.
Pat from the Apple Store Rosenstrasse/Germany approved that it looks like a Bug during the Numbers Workshop I was in: It is not possible to add new columns with format "Text". I reported the error for Version 1.4 but there is no update nor do I get statement of understanding the issue.

Hi Knochenhort,
I see what you are talking about now. Without knowing how the program actually works, I think this is what's going on:
When you add a new column to an already existing table (with already existing formats), the new cells come already formatted like the previous column. So when you add a column to the end of the demo table, the cells are already formatted like stars, and when you add a column to the beginning, they're already formatted like number.
I think this is why it's different when if you add columns to a table with blank (unformatted) columns. In that case, the new cells aren't already "tainted" with a set format, so you can change to text format without issue.
It seems like the problem is that you can't format cells that are already formatted as "number" as "text" format (even if it doesn't look like they are, because they are blank). IMO, this is a bug! This is why you don't see this issue when adding columns to a new table, because the new cells don't already come with a format.
To workaround, you can highlight the body cells after adding the new column, and delete the cells. This will "clear" the formatting, so you can then go in the inspector, format them as text, and the correct keyboard will pop up.
Hope that helps!

Ary you try to tell me that Illustrator can't have a outline stroke on editable text?

Ary you try to tell me that Illustrator can't have a outline stroke on editable text? Corel Draw have this.

You can just select the live Type with the (normal) Selection Tool, then click Add New Stroke in the Appearance palette flyout. After that you can select it with the (relevant) Type Tool and edit as you like.

Can anyone help me to create header and fooder in text file.Well you plainly have the code to write the file contents; and furthermore your report seems to be contained in a List called 'data'. Why not just add the header and footer lines to it? I'd also suggest making 'data' a LinkedList. That way you can add the header afterwards with no performance hit, just in case the information it contains isn't available at the start of your report loop.

Add/Remove Programs - export to text file?

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to export a list of everything in add/remove programs to a text file for inventory purposes.
I have not found any easy method to do this short of copying reg files or installer 3rd party software. Since the idea is to save time neither of those are viable solutions.
Does anyone have any ideas?

How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic

How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic?

DH
I was thinking that if he wanted to create multiple keyframes he might be creating a repeated effect rather than manipulating values that are shot specific - like creating an oscillation or some repeated step effect. If he was creating keyframes specific to his content he'd probably not look for a way to do it "quickly" since each keyframe would require manipulation of specific values.
So my thought was to generate the series of keyframes on a dummy clip created for this specific purpose, copy the clip, paste attributes (maybe turn off "Scale Attribute Times") and add bunches of keyframes at once.
Still, you're right, it's tough to divine the intent of someone very new to FCP. His question could be based on a misunderstanding about the use of keyframes.

How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval em

How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval email-notification sent to the manager?
TIA

The answer is 'not very easily', unless the information you want to display is the employee's leave balances. In 12.1.3 Oracle have delivered functionality that allows you to include the leave balances in the approval notifications out-the-box, ie, without customization.
For any other information you're probably going to have to customize the standard delivered HRSSA workflow. Within this workflow, the Leave of Absence functionality uses the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_APPROVER_NTF) notification. The body of this notification is set to the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_NTF_EMBEDDED_REGION) attribute. This in turn defaults to:
JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=-&HR_EMBEDDED_REGION-&NtfId=-&#NID-
So essentially you can change the HR_APPROVER_NTF notification. The problem with changing this notification is that it's generic - it's used for all SSHR functions and not just Leave of Absence. That means you have to make other, more substantial, customizations to the workflow to ensure the changes you make only applies to LOA.
The other option is to personalize the review page (ie, the region referenced in &HR_EMBEDDED_REGION) to include whatever messages you want. But that means they'll appear on the Review page and all LOA approval notifications and that might not be what you want.
It's usually better to live with what Oracle deliver and find an alternative solution! What's the content of the message you want to include?
