Putting background solid/block behind text?

New to Muse (1st day) no background in web development. Have created a master template that has a tiled image for browser background fill. Page text does not display well on top of the background image so I added a white solid block that serves to define the content area of the page. However, when I add text to an actual page (not the template), if I add a lot of text the background block does not expand vertically to enclose the text I add. The result is text that overflows the background solid block and displays (poorly) over the background fill like so:
I am probably not going about this in the right way but am unsure what the correct method would be to define a background color that expands/contract dynamically with the content of different pages.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Instead of using a white rectangle block , you can try to use a white fill for text frame itself which would address the issue.
Thanks,
Sanjit

As Walt says - you need to use CSS to declare the background
for the
cell..maybe this will help:

Anchored objects behind text

Is there a way to make an anchored box sit behind text? I have a section title with section numbers. I would like to place a piece of art behind all the section numbers. The box always comes out on top. I can create a new paragraph style with autonumbering for the section into it, place it over the art, group it, and then anchor it. The only problem is, now the section numbers won't show up in the running head. Any ideas? I'm using CS3. I used to be able to do this in FrameMaker. Thanks.

Can't be done with anchored objects - sorry.
But you can convert your text to a table - and that can put a background in there.
OR
Use Paragraph Rules to highlight a line of text or a pargraph of text

Selecting Graphics Behind Text

Hello,
I’m using Pages ’08 and working with a neat, layered, grouped graphic. There are three layers: a dark background graphic, a lighter middle graphic, and white text in a text box on top. All three use the exact same dimensions and are stacked one on top of the other for a total of three layers, grouped. None of the layers cause wrap.
I’d like to select one of the graphics to edit the color and find that I cannot do it without ungrouping the items, moving the text layer out of the way, applying the new color, putting the text layer back in place, and then regrouping everything. It seems like unnecessary steps. It seems as if I should be able to use a modifier key and do a series of clicks to activate the layer that I want, much like when I used QuarkXPress and InDesign. Is there a similar key stroke in Pages?
The user’s manual says “To select a floating object that’s behind text, place the pointer outside the text area, press the Command key, and then drag across the page until the object’s selection handles appear.” That doesn’t solve my concern, though.
I've attached a sample of what my graphic looks like. It would be great if there were key strokes to use. If not I'll have to go back to each instance of the graphic and make changes to each one.
Please let me know if you have an idea of how to make this work.
Thanks,
Scott

Pages does not have any modifier keys to click down through layers like other DTP software.
Unlocking and staggering the layers is the only way. There is an averaging command that does however let you centre them back on top of each other.

Trying to insert a picture behind text in Word 2011 for Mac

Can someone please help me? I am very fluent in Word 2010 for Windows, and this was a simple process. I was attempting to create a document in Word 2011 for Mac, like I've done many times on my pc. I wanted a picture in the background, with text on top of that. In the windows version, I would simply go to headers & footers, insert my picture, and set the word wrap to "behind text." When I closed the header/footer, I could put my text on top of the picture and by adjusting the text color and placement, I could create greeting cards, posters, flyers, whatever. Yesterday I tried to do the same with Word 2011 for Mac, and could not get rid of the white background behind my text. After attempting all the tricks I knew, I finally gave up. Can someone out there please point me in the right direction? (I tried to include a screen shot, but can't figure out how to use that little "insert image" button up there either. Sigh.)

Since yours is a question about a feature in MS Word for Mac, I would recommend reposting your question in Microsoft's Support site for Word for Mac. The experts there would be more conversant in that App.

Color behind text transfer to epub

I put in the color behind the text and when it transports to epub, there is no color. If I rasterzie it then the font changes and it is smaller than what I put in. I am using articles and attaching the images to the text. This is for a children's book so want the color to meld with the image at times.
Thanks
Jen

My experience is that you can't apply a background color to the main text flow frames, even if you apply an object style with a background color
However, if you have sidebar frames or caption frames which are anchored or inset in the main flow, and if you apply an object style with a background color, those frames retain the color.
Keep in mind that many eReaders (e.g., iPad) let you choose a different background color with which to display an eBook—for example, Sepia or Night, on an iPad.

Best practice for transparent box (shadow) behind text

From time to time I have to font / subtitle over a bright background. When a simple drop shadow or outline on the text doesn't work, I put a soft box behind the font.
What are some of the methods you use? Easy / quick.
I've experimented with:
shape masks (and, then, lowering the video level in color correction)
a shape generator with lower opacity and softened or feathered edges
(I come from the old-school where, on a G-valley switcher, we'd just generate a shape behind the text, "soft-blur" the edges, and crack the fader bar to bring down opacity.)
What method(s) would you suggest in FCPX?

well, for frequent use, I would quickly built me my own title-generator in Motion5, custom-made exactly for my needs/design wishes.
or, use e.g. this free one from Mastermind Alex4d

Images Behind Text in RTF Template

While creating a few rtf templates, I noticed that if an image is to be shown behind text then the image will not render to back to .rtf by bi pub.
If I put the image inline with text, it renders just fine.
Am I missing a step that would allow me to render the image behind text or is it just working as intended?

Can I cut, copy and paste a block of text in PL/SQL Developer?

I have been using TextPad to put together SQL statements by using the cut, copy and pasting of BLOCKS of text.
Example:
I copy the describe of a table, replace varchar, number, date will 10 spaces and then copy the column names in a block and paste it further down the TextPad.
Then I join the lines into one string, replace the spaces with commas
Then I insert in front of the column name the INSERT INTO table_name(
Then I get the values by copying from somewhere else and paste then in block text where they need to go. ETC, ETC.
Thank you, Bill

In 2.0 you should be able to just type
INSERT INTO emp(
and do multiple selections from code completion list of suggested emp columns (by holding ctrl or shift key). Same for "select" and "from" clauses (with optional auto aliasing).

Cyan Highlight Behind Text in Design Pane

Hi, Could anyone tell me why some of my pages have a cyan colored highlight behind the text in the design pane. It does not happen to all of my sites and am wondering why this particular site that is doing this, is doing his.
File is a .asp extension, but other asp pages for other sites do not do this. Have checked code rewriting in prefs and do not see an instance where cyan is supposed to be implemented behind text. It's not in the style either and live page looks fine.
Considered putting this thread go in App Dev forum instead but seems a general DW useablity issue as opposed to a dev issue. Please let me know if I should resubmit there.
Using DW CS4 on 64 Bit Vista. What other details can I provide??
thanx,

The cyan highlighting indicates untranslated live data on a page that contains server-side code. Normally, it is applied only to dynamic text like this:
If it's being applied to ordinary text, it suggests there's something unusual about your server-side code that's causing Dreamweaver to highlight the text in this way. The preference that controls the colour of the highlighting is in the Highlighting category of the Preferences panel.

kindly help me
thanks for all in advance.

that too not working because

see i think you didn't get my point.
in my out put page am displaying item details ,quantity,and cost and customer details just like invoice copy .
behind this data am displaying my company logo which will capture whole page size..
if i place the image in table then fields will be automatically in table so i cant restrict image in this way.

Captivate 5 NeoSpeech - GUI editor for VTML behind text?

Is there a GUI editor to embed VTML “behind” text? It seems NeoSpeech is the TTS engine of choice for English (US anyway).
Testing with Captivate 5, the generated audio is *almost* good enough for use as a narrator. We have training “slides” where we voice over to enhance the experience. We have been recording audio but keeping the same person working on this project is difficult. I’d like to have a quality, reproducible source like TTS and the current implementation of NeoSpeech is about 95%. So, I’m thinking of planting VTML in the text but this makes the text awkward and the VTML is not for a casual user.
Is there a way to develop a plug-in that would allow an app to get to the text, manage the VTML behind the scenes something like OOXML is to text editors?

I tested the "Loquendo" voices as Ashwin suggested. Mainly the British English one, Simon, as that can be somewhat compared to the US English. I think I like Paul from Neospeech better, but such a statement does not say much. Here are some more details:
I like the British sound of Simon, I really do. But as far as the natural flow of the sentence - it is not as fluent as Paul from Neospeech. With Simon, I hear that the sentence is combined from independent units - words; sometimes there is a little break in between them (more noticeable than we would naturally do). Paul's renderings sound more like a solid sentence. Also, with Simon, I hear some unnatural intonation shifts in a middle of a word. Not to say that Paul does not have them - but not as often (and the latest Paul from Neospeech's website has very little of them).
On the other side, I do not mean to say that I like everything from Neospeech. I do not like Kate - her intonation is sometimes very unnatural (to my ears). And while some say that the newest voice from Neospeech - Julie - is even better, I like it little less than Paul. True, Julie has a very nice delivery and some words she pronounces very clearly, but other parts she says indistinctly, causing me to wonder if she has an accent, or just lisps. Generally, I prefer male voice over the female one when it comes to computer voices, as the female voices - being in higher frequencies, get more of the s sound. (Perhaps a de-esser could be built-in to the future version of Captivate to improve the voices :-).
If I were to compare the English speaking voices, my list of preferences would be: 1. Paul, 2. Julie (this one is not in Captivate), 3. Simon + Kate. But remember, my ears are different than yours, so this all is just about what I like... Martin P.

How do I remove a green background from a pdf text document?

I posted this question yesterday and received one reply. I wanted to respond to the reply, but couldn't find a link or "button" to click on that would enable me to do that, so I'm doing it here. As I'm new to this site, please advise me where the link is, if there is one.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that PDF was proprietary, with one "owner" and that PDF was PDF, so it didn't matter what program you had on your computer because PDF was universal. Second, when I googled Nuance pdf, I was directed to this site, specifically the "Create, Edit and Export PDF's" section. Third, I also have Adobe Acrobat with pdf and a bunch ofother Adobe products on my computer. So, that brings me back to my original question, how do I get rid of a green background on a pdf text document, so I don't use up all my ink when I print it. Thanks for your patience and help.

I still use Office 2008 but have not encountered that issue. However, as Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

How to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.

Hello,
I tried to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.
But I was not able to change this colur.
In the report attributes --> column attributes
I tried already:
1. Column Formating -- >CSS Style (bgcolor: red)
2. Tabular Form Element --> Element Attributes (bgcolor: red)
but nothing worked.
Can anybody help me?
I Use Oracle Apex 2.2.1 on 10gR2
thank you in advance.
Oliver

in "Report Attributes" select the column to move to the "Column Attributes" page. In the "Element Attributes" field under the "Tabular Form Element" region enter
style="background-color:red;"
I will also check if there is a way to do this via the template and post here again
edit:
in your template definition, above the template, enter the following:
< STYLE TYPE="text/css" >
.class INPUT {background-color:red;}
< /STYLE >
(remove the spaces after the < and before the >)
change "class" to the class that the template is calling
(I'm using theme 9, the table has: class="t9GCCReportsStyle1" so I would enter t9GCCReportsStyle1)
A side-effect of using this second version is that ALL input types will have a red background color--checkboxes, input boxes, etc.
