Putting a box or frame around some fields

I have a page (HTML client) that consists of a two-column layout followed by a rows layout in each column.
These fields are all text boxes, some of which relate naturally to their neighbors. The way the page looks however it's not completely obvious.
Is there a way to put a frame around certain groups of fields (and optionally have a title in the border of the frame at top, to 'group' fields together pleasingly to the eye?
As a cheap visual, something like this, where the 'x's represent the frame. Please forgive my dreadful ascii layout skills:
xxxx Title Of Group xxxx
x Field 1:______ x
x Field 2:______ x
x x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you want to create the form above, you can use Grid in Lightswitch.

Firefox 4 - Opening in a new window puts a second windows frame around the firefox browser window

Using Firefox 4 in Windows 7
I have customised the position of tabs (Tabs on top) and which toolbar items I would like to see.
The first window I open of firefox 4 always has the configuration as I set it.
Whenever I open a new window of firefox either:
# - Right-click a link to open in a new window
# - Click a link anywhere (such as an email) to open a new window
# - When a website opens a page in a new window
Bad Results:
# - The new window does not have the configuration as set in the main window (Tabs on top)
# - The new window has a windows type window frame around the firefox window (see two sets of window controls eg. "minimise", "restore" and "close")
# - The open page does not show the url - navigating to a new page within this window will not update the url :: strangely enough clicking the url page icon will update the url as it should be
# - Sometimes when restarting firefox, it will open the first main window with the remembered tabs and then open approx 8 or so blank new windows as described above

I have troubleshooted this issue and have found what I think is a resolution.
The cause of this issue seems to be Profiles.
Previously when running firefox 3 I had multiple profiles setup. when deciding to update to firefox 4 I removed these old profiles.
When installing firefox 4 for some reason it used a "default" named profile, and this caused the problems I described above.
RESOLUTION:
Ran firefox.exe -ProfileManager
created a new profile, it named itself "Default User" I then selected the new default and tested. The window behavior is now acting as it should wothout the above problems.
I deleted the old profile and now it works, using the new profile.

EEWB - frame around the fields.

Hi gurus,
could you please help me.
I've added new fields to the business transaction item in CRM using EEWB - extension type = Customer_I. But there is no any frame around them on the customer tab's screen.
It's possible to draw a frame in SE51 (screen painter), but this frame disappears after a new field addition to the extension and a new extension's generation.
Could you please provide any solution of how to make a frame without it's further disappearing after a new fields addition.
Thanks in advance.
Sunny.

Hi there,
As hint captions are text captions and fill cannot be applied to text captions. You can either select transparent captions or captions with callouts.
So you can use available callaouts in the Captivate Gallery under captions (Captivate installation directory > Gallery > captions), and use that one which has a frame.
Thanks.

Black frame around active field

Since this morning I have a black frame around my active field. Can't get rid of it. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you!

Just checked and the settings are still the same.
It is only the active field that gets a black frame.
For example writing an email, if I want to type an email address the active bar I want to type in is surrounded by the frame.

In Photoshop Elements 1, how do I put a frame/box around some type ?

I am doing a post card and I want to find out how to put a box around some text (i.e. a text box) and then be able to alter the thickness of the line.

Go to File>new>blank file. Enter the dimensions of the card, background white (or whatever suits you), resolution 300px/in
With the rectangular marquee tool, drag out a box of suitable size. You will see "marching ants" surrounding the rectangle.
Open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette
Go to Edit>Stroke(Outline) selection. Enter the width of the stroke (try 5 px), select the color, place it inside
Type the text to be within the confines of the text box with the type tool
N.B. The advantage to having the stroke on a separate layer is that if you don't like it, you can delete the layer and replace it

Putting a "picture frame" around an entire video

Hey there! thanks in advance for the help.
I'm attempting to put a "picture-frame" around a video that will be visible throughout the duration of the movie. Is there any way to do this in FinalCut Pro?
Thanks!

There are some great Frames in the Motion Content. Open Motion using same settings as your FCP project and find the one you like in the Motion Library and drag it to your new Motion project.
Size it to your tastes.
Then open Layers (cmd-4) twirl the disclosure triangle and delete the drop zone.
Now export it. When you bring it into FCP you will have a frame you can place over any video and the video will show inside the frame.
Good luck

I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
In the future once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Can I put a frame around a photo in premier elements

I have used photoshop Elements for years for scrapbooking, but as just starting to use premier Elements. my first project will be using a lot of very old family portraits and put on a DVD. can I put a frame around a photo in premier elements and can i use background papers like I do in elements. I am using version 11 for both.
Thanks

Put the background on track 1. Put the photo on track 2. Put the frame (with transparancy) on track 3. Use the motion properties in the effects panel to adjust the scale and/or position as desired.
It's just like using layers in Photoshop Elements.
Also, resize your stills to no larger than 1000 x 750 pixels for SD and 2000 x 1500 pixels for HD.

How do I put a box around a line of text like I did in Appleworks?

Please help me. I miss the toolbox in Appleworks where I could easily put a box around text, resize it, make it darker, etc. I've tried the Help menu in Pages and am ready to give up. Could someone please walk me through this? I don't want to use templates --just a plain word processing document. However, I used to box text in after I typed it. Thank you very much.

You work the other way in Pages.
Of course, we may work the other way but the OP asked
However, I used to box text in after I typed it.
which is what we did in AppleWorks and what I explained how we may achieve in Pages.
I added the example of string with a background because often, we used the enclosing rectangle because the backgrounded text was unavailable.
Only the backrgound is able to flow correctly with the text.
An inline text box will change the line spacing.
But in fact this message was mainly written to ask you if the border feature works well for you.
Here, it behaves like the (top + bottom borders).
+I wish to add that I get the same behavior with the French and with the English version, under 10.4 and under 10.5, on the G5 and on the macIntel.+
My workaround is to use a table's cell, not a text block.

How can I create a frame around a text?

I think everything is in the title. I want to create a frame around a text.
Thanks

If what you want is a solid line around the text, set the text in a text box. In the Graphic Inspector click on Stroke and choose Line. In the little menu below that click the arrows and choose the type of line (or dots/dashes) you want. Choose the color (if other than black) and then the weight of the line— from the pt menu. Instead of line you can choose frame, but these don’t always look good with text. To allow some space around the text, go to the Text Inspector and adjust the Inset Margin to your liking.
You can also set text in a shape by inserting a shape from the menu, double clicking in the shape and typing.

How to have some fields in the header of the report

Hi All,
we would like to have some fields in the header of the report (every page but the first page), but Word won’t let you insert fields into the header. Are there any work arounds to do something like that?
Thanks,
Vandana

'Insert Menu -> Field' does not work for headers.
Try this. Say if you want to insert a XML tag named TRX_NUMBER in header. Put <?TRX_NUMBER?> in the header. This will display TRX_NUMBER tag in header.

Simple frame around pictures

Hi, I'm trying to simply place a thin border around either a block of text or photo so they stand out as boxed on a white background. Can anyone help.
Thanks

Thanks Barbara, what about putting the frame around the entire canvas.
Here is one way to create a frame outside the picture.
1. Create new layer beneath the picture layer. Note that if the picture layer is named "Background" (the default name) then you must first rename it to anything else.
2. Image > Resize > Canvas Size, and increase Width & Height by same amount (but not percent), twice your desired border size.
3. Fill new layer with the frame color.
Or you can simply:
1. Set the Background color chip at the bottom of the toolbar to your frame color.
2. Image > Resize > Canvas Size, and increase Width & Height by same amount (not percent), twice your desired border size.

Put A Library Graphic in a Dynamic Field

Here's what I've got:
* In the Library, I have a movieclip which has a dynamic field. Let's call the MC: "Foo" and the field "BlahField".
* In the Library, I have 3 small ball graphics which I'll call "IconA", "IconB", and "IconC".
I read data from an external file and depending on what I find, I'll use ActionScript to add a Foo movieclip to the stage. Now, I want to some text in the BlahField, but--depending on the data--I also want to put one of the icons in the field as well. For the sake of this example, let's say I need IconA
Using ActionScript how do I put the IconA image in Foo.BlahField.text (remembering that I want to pull the image from the Library).
Foo.BlahField.text = ???? + <data from file>;
Thanks,
---Damian

I really appreciate the help. But still no love. This is what I did this time:
I cleared out the old attempts.
I re-imported "BlueOrb.png"
I created a new MovieClip symbol which I called "IconA"
I placed BlueOrb on the crosshairs of the new MovieClip and closed it.
I went to the Library, right-clicked the IconA movieclip symbol and chose properties.
In the Symbol Properties window, the Name: field says IconA
I made sure there were checks in Export for ActionScript and Export in frame 1.
In the Class field, I see IconA, and added _Class to the end. So the class is now: IconA_Class.
The Base class: remains flash.display.MovieClip
I clicked OK to close the window.
I checked my field. It is dynamic and is set to render HTML.
I then did the following tests:
Foo.BlahField.htmlText = <img src='IconA_Class' >Huzzah!";
Foo.BlahField.htmlText = <img src='IconA_Class()' >Huzzah!";
Foo.BlahField.htmlText = <img src='IconA' >Huzzah!";
Foo.BlahField.htmlText = <img src='IconA()' >Huzzah!";
...still the Huzzah! showed up, but not the image.

Border on some fields prints double

I am running into a problem in PLD on a PO Layout that I customized. On the header fields I have a right border. On some of the fields the border is doubled even though the fields do not overlap and as far as I can tell all the settings are correct. At times I remove the border and frame from a field that is printing double, and then it prints single even though there should not be a border now. It seems to randomly affect different fields. If I fix one by removing the border then the double border seems to move to a different field? The only thing out of the ordinary is that I have the colors set so that the background is all black (0,0,0), and the frame and text are white (255, 255, 255). There is no Highlight set, the box is not checked.
Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution? (this is SAP 2007 A, SP 00 , PL 15).
Thanks,
Don

Don,
First thing first, you have to upgrade your PL soon since the lowest supported 2007A PL is 30. Current PL is 49 if not 50 already.
As for the border, it will be too hard to set them correctly if your background is all black. Try to change background first.
Thanks,
Gordon
