Placeholder text

Can you change the placeholder text from latin to english? Because I dont understand it.

Sarah,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
You're not supposed to understand it because it's gibberish Latin placeholder text. This issue has come up so often that I wrote a user tip:

  • How Can I Set a Default Placeholder Text Language?

    How can I set a default placeholder text language instead of having to set the language every time I use placeholder text?

    I think the default placeholder text language is the language of your version of InDesign.
    The placeholder text is based on the current language setting. So if the language under the cursor is Hebrew, you'll get Hebrew.

  • Adding placeholder text in Photoshop CS4

    Hi,
    Hope this finds you well.
    Does anyone know how to add placeholder text in Photoshop cs4?
    I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

    There is no built-in function as with InDesign (Photoshop isn't a layout program, after all. If you're setting large amounts of body copy you're using the wrong tool for the job...).
    Locate some placeholder text. Here's one of the many links Google returns:

    Copy and paste into Photoshop.

  • How to disable placeholder text in the URL and search fields of the navigation bar?

    Everytime I open a new tab (frequently, home page is set to blank) I have to look at "Go to a Website" in the navigation bar. The search field shows the name of the currently active search engine until text is inputed. All I want is to be able to do is disable the placeholder text, showing both fields as blank.

    Thank you. Worked fine. For anyone who comes across this in the future, change "graytext" to "transparent" to hide the placeholder all the time. As is above, the placeholder shows when the mouse points at the box.

  • PDF printing out background placeholder text in fillable forms

    I'm trying to print out a PDF which has fillable form fields. The Date of Birth text field has a faint grey placeholder text dd/mm/yyyy. Everytime those fields are filled in, the dd/mm/yyyy will also print out in the background. Is this an option that can be turned off or is it something to do with how the form was made?

  • XML: Using static & placeholder text inside element with children?

    Hi there
    I’m working with simple XML data with the following structure:
    Root
         Row
              Company_name
              Physical_address
              Phone
              Website
              Email_address
         Row
              Company_name
              Physical_address
              Phone
              Website
              Email_address
    etc.
    The row element will be repeated many times. In setting up my InDesign document I’d like to use static text within each Row element. What’s confusing me is where I should use the Row tag. I’d like my imported XML data to run as continuous text, thus:
    Company: placeholder text
    Address: placeholder text
    placeholder text
    placeholder text
    placeholder text
    Company: placeholder text
    Address: placeholder text
    placeholder text
    placeholder text
    placeholder text
    I tried setting it up like this, with the parent text frame given the Root tag:
    <Row>Company: <Company_name>placeholder text</Company_name>
    Address: <Physical_address>placeholder text</Physical_address>
    <Phone>placeholder text</Phone>
    <Website>placeholder text</Website>
    <Email_address>placeholder text</Email_address></Row>
    …but when I import my XML file I lose all my static text and each child element is indented more than its parent element. I would guess that by placing my static text within the Row tag it gets replaced when each Row element is imported, but where else would I place it? Do I have to create anchored text frames (tagged with Row) within the Root frame to hold each Row element?
    I’d appreciate any insights.

    OK, I’ve figured out the first problem. I just needed to play around with the options in the dialogue that comes up when importing XML. Specifically, the “Do not import contents of whitespace-only elements” needs to be checked. I still don’t see why that should affect whether or not my static text stays in place.
    Now, my new question is this: It looks like all the child elements of a container element have to appear in the document in the same order in which they appear in the XML file. Is this right? If I swap my Email_address and Website tags around in my placeholder text, either the email address disappears or it appears at the end (depending on the options I select in the dialogue upon import). So if I want to change the order in which they appear I have to do so in the XML file as well?

  • Placeholder text doesn't seem to be working -- please help

    I can create a textbox on a section page in the layout section. I have added and enabled some placeholder text in it. I've applied the changes to affect the other section pages in my book. Those section pages get the new textbox and placeholder text but nothing is selectable to change.
    I feel like I have tried every combination of enabling box and text, just text, just box but still nothing is selectable on the section pages that I want to make different captions for.
    Can someone please help me understand how to do this?
    Thank you!!

    Its not a problem..... points mean nothing  really, the only thing I care about is being able to  offer a suggestion that works and removes the worry and stress of facing a situation  without somebody  - metaphorically - at your side to put the smile  back.
    Goos  luck with your books  when they hit the store.

  • The Placeholder Text Comes Out in Arabic

    When I apply placeholder text it comes out in Arabic. How can I make it so the placeholder text comes out in latin letters?

    Press Ctrl before you click on the placeholder text, and you will be
    able to choose whichever language you want.
    But I think essentially the placeholder text follows the currently
    selected language, so if you set the text to English USA or something, I
    believe you should get appropraite placeholder text.

  • HT5071 Please Help! how do I fix this error: "The title of the Table of Contents in portrait view is placeholder text : Book Title. Please redeliver your corrected full book file with a custom preview file. "

  • Tab to placeholder text

    Hi, I hope someone can help me! I am creating a custom template and need to figure out how to be able to tab to the placeholder text (just being able to tab to each section without having to click on each placeholder). Also, is it possible to make the placeholder become longer if I need more space to type, without making the the rest of the words in the document move?
    Thanks!
    Laura

    Thank you - so basically I can't tab to each placeholder, like I would on a "boiler plate" type document. I will play around with the floating box - my goal is to be able to type in the placeholder text box without making other text move around, which changes the whole document.
    There MUST be a way to "lock" the text box, or make a box that can be tabbed to! I know it can be done in Windows, but the whole point is to get away from Windows (which I have to use at work). Just had a thought - maybe I can create the template in Windows and mail it to myself and then save it to pages, and then I can tab to the text box? Basically it is a questionnaire that I use for work and want to be able to do it as fast as possible.
    Thanks again
    Laura

  • Add placeholder text in Numbers

    I want to add placeholder text in cells on a spreadsheet but I am not able to select the option in the drop down menu.

    OK.  In the cell where you want the temperature type "Temperature".  There is no concept of a default value when the cell is empty  so the only other thing I can suggest is to make a entry table like this:
    Parameter
    Value
    Units
    Temperature
    ˚ C
    Machine 1 Value

  • How to mark table text as placeholder text

    I have a Pages document that I would like to turn into a template. I have laid the document out on a table. Some of the table text I would like to mark as placeholder text. I can see the option on the Format ---> Advanced menu, and I can select table text and click to supposedly apply the option, but, the option is not applied. When I click the text in the template, it remains ordinary text. I can mark text that is in the body no problem, just not when it is in the table.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestion.

  • Why does iphoto delete placeholder text?

    why does iphoto delete placeholder text when I try to send photo in email?

    When I downloaded photos from a camera SD card using an adapter, I noticed two Albums were created in the Photo app.(Last Import & All Import). Like you stated, there is no option to delete excess photos without deleting all of them. So this is the lengthy steps I went through to delet the extra album (I hope someone comes up with a shorter process):
    1) Connect iPad into your PC (Make sure you configured to Sync with iTunes)
    2) Go to My Computer > right click and open Apple iPad > right click and open  Internal Storage > right click and  open DCIM. (This will show the photos from those to Albums only)
    3) Right click on a empty space on the desktop
    4) Click on New > Folder
    5) Go back to the DCIM files and right click on each file(one at a time) then copy and paste each file over the New Folder.
    6) Go back to the DCIM files and open each folder and right click and delete each photo.
    You will notice that all the same photos are being deleted on the Photo app simultaneously.
    7) Then drag the New Folder into you Pictures on the PC.
    8)Then open iTunes on your PC and click on the Photo tab and click Sync on the bottom right to import those photos back to your iPad.
    I hope my scenario can apply to you.

  • Add placeholder text / Lorem ipsum

    Does anyone know how to add placeholder text in Illustrator? I know it can be done in ID, but I haven't been able to find it in Illustrator. I know I could copy & paste, but I'd like to see if there's a better route. I checked scripting forums as well, but was unable to find anything. Thanks!

  • Metadata rejected ("3.2 Apps with placeholder text will be rejected")

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem with Apple but I hope that I can find someone here who has faced the same matter and can help me!
    Some weeks ago I sent my first app (the publication is a single-app catalogue) to iTunes Connect and everything was smooth (it has been accepted and placed in the App Store in 5 days).
    Instead last week I sent another similar publication (a single-app catalogue created in the same way as the first one) but the app has been rejeceted for this reason:
    3.2: Apps with placeholder text will be rejected
    Oct 21, 2011 03:38 PM. From Apple.
      3.2
    We found that your app and/or its metadata does not appear to include final content, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
    Specifically, we noticed that the app metadata does not include a description of the app's features.
    While your iTunes Connect Application State will show as Metadata Rejected, we do NOT require a new binary if you only need to change your metadata. (A new binary is required only when you have to also make changes within the app.)
    If you only need to change your metadata, please visit iTunes Connect, Manage Your Applications, and revise the appropriate metadata values or settings, then click Save. After saving, click "Save," then click "Submit New Metadata" in the top right.
    Actually I do not understand what they mean with "placeholder text" but above all I would like to ask to someone expert - I rely on BOB! -  (I am a newby to DPS and Apple) if this means that I have to re-create from the start the app from the Folio Builder changing something in Indesign or if they just mean I have to modify something in iTunes Connect without touching the binary file.
    I am in a great confusion because they say the "app metadata" does not include a description of the app's features but I do not know how can I change the "metadata" within the app (in fact I believe that when they refer to the "app metadata" the mean the "metadata" inside the app and not the metadata that I add in iTunes Connect).
    The doubt that I have now is that maybe the last update of the Viewer Builder or of the Folio Builder has changed something that now generates this issue?
    Of course I am contacting also Apple for this issue, but in the meanwhile it would be a relief for me to hear a suggestion from here!
    Thank you to anyone for any reply!

    app metadata is the description text you enter while adding your app into
    iTunes connect.
    as is in the statement, for doing metadata changes, you don't need to submit
    a new binary (aka .zip file containing your folio)
    add more details of the feature of you app into the description in iTunes
    connect aand you should be fine.
    there is no 'metadata' inside tje binary of your app that you can change.
    but Bob can add sth. to this eventually.
