Red Text with Change Bar, Frame 9

I've been given Frame 9 files that have text copied and pasted from Word. The text is in red, no underlines or strikethroughs, and the change bar runs down the outside column.
I've tried to accept track changes, and the text stays red. I can remove the change bar, but haven't figured out what to do to change the text to black.
I'm assuming this isn't a track change issue, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

There are many complications with dealing with text copied in from other apps, but as a first step:
Make a backup of the files (critical)
put your cursor in one of the paragraphs. Double click in the paragraph to select all the text in the paragraph.
Select Format > Characters > Default Paragraph Format
That should remove all of the formatting overrides in the paragraph.
If that works, and you want to do this to the whole document, put your cursor in a paragraph and do Ctl+a to select all the text, then do the same Format > Characters process.
btw, if the Word document did in fact have change tracking turned on and did have changes that hadn't been Accepted in Word, then you might find that the text pasted into FM sometimes has both the old and the changed text splatted together in the FM document. It's always, always better to have all the changes Accepted in Word first.

  • The little red dot with a bar on the weekly calender

    Stupid question...In iCAl I have a little red dot with a bar attached to is that goes across the entire week. It is next to the timeline at about 2:00. It only shows up on the week calender. What is this bar? What does it do? Can one make it go away? It's killing me. I can't find a setting for it, an explanation, a right click...nothing. It's just buggin' me. Anyone???

    NCesau,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The red dot with the bar is supposed to represent the current "Time of Day." It will/should be displayed in the Day, and Week views. It appears as if your TOD is stagnant, i.e. not working, if is stationary at the 2:00 time, and only visible in the Day view.
    There is no user preference to change the normal behavior.
    Since your iCal appears not to be working as advertised, you may be able to regain normal function by refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

  • Track Text Edits Change Bars

    FrameMaker 8.0 -- Change bars are showing up for adds but not for deletes. How do I get the bars to show up for both?

    Martha, I haven't seen this particular problem in either 8 or 9...
    My first thought was that some of the changes were included in other Conditional Text settings so that some of the changes weren't fully applied because some text was hidden by another condition... So you may want to check to see if there's any overlap. But that's just a guess.
    And one thing you can try is saving one of the files out to MIF to clean up any stray characters that may have crept in.

  • Changing the frame-colour of a rectangle created with thre graphic-marks-tool in acrobat 7 pro

    I have a problem with changing the frame-colour of a rectangle created with thre graphic-marks-tool in acrobat 7 pro.
    Doesn't matter what frame colour i choose, it will always stay in black colour!
    What can i do??

    Bob's right about creating a character style for the hyperlink, but there is no control to change the color for a rollover.
    Sadness. :-(

  • Change bars

    How do I place a change bar to the bottom left of the margin on the master page using frammaker 11 unstructured?
    thnx

    Change bars are applied automatically (when enabled) only to the actual line inwhich a change has occurred in he flow of the conteent, i.e. on a Body page.
    If you need to make a change bar in the location that you state (on a Master page), create a new custom Master page(s) based upon the Right/Left ones and simply draw a change bar where you want it.
    To apply the Master page to pages that have changes (all of this will have to be manual unless you write a custom script) either:
    apply these custom Master pages using the Format > Page Layout > Master Page Usage option or
    create a new paratag that uses no line-spacing and add it to all pages with change bars, then use the Master page mapping option to apply the custom master pages o these pages (Note: adding or removing content may affect where the change bar pargraph falls and may put things out of sync)

  • How does one assign change bars to the contents of an anchored frame?

    Assigning change bars to text in FrameMaker 10 appears to give inconsistent results. Sometimes I can select the contents of an anchored frame and assign a change bar to it. Other times, only the marker is assigned a change bar and not the contents of the anchored frame.
    Also, sometimes I can select a table and assign a continuous change bar to it. Other times, a separate change bar is assigned to individual rows of the table.
    Are there any workarounds for this inconsistency?

  • How can I change the frame around a title created with the Rectangle Tool?

    In PrE 7, I have been creating titles (e.g.: Title > New Title > Default Still, etc.) for a long time and using the many ways to manipulate the text (type, color, size, animation, etc.). Today, I tried to use the Rectangle Tool (or the Ellipse Tool, or the Line Tool) and they created a beautiful 'frame' (like a picture frame: artistically designed and colored) and I can change the background color within the frame and place any text (also background picture, etc.) in it. However, I couldn't find any way to change the 'frame' or the general style of these title objects. Is there any way to do this, or this is the only design that can be created with these tools? I would greatly appreciate any help (couldn't find any in this u2u site). Thanks, Laci.

    Laci,
    Yes, you can apply Styles to several Rectangles (or other Shapes), to simulate a "frame." The Styles should appear as Text in the Styles Panel. Since you are working with Shapes, but viewing the Styles applied to Text, it is not perfectly intuitive as to what those Styles look like with the Shapes.
    Personally, I find that doing things like "frames" in Photoshop and then Importing the PSD's into PrE is far, far easier. In that case, I would place the PSD on Video Track 1 (unless I wanted it to appear superimposed over my Video (like a PiP), and then do the text in a PrE Title, and place it above the PSD.
    Here is an example:
    This is a simple "picture frame" created in PS. I used a still image, instead of text in this case. These could be "wood-grained," "granite," etc.
    Much more control and tons of Effects and Filters that can be applied.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - that is from PrPro, so the GUI will look quite different, but things work the same way.

  • Linux: The tabs text color changes with the theme, while the menu text color is always black.

    Hello,
    When Firefox theme is changed, it usually changes window appearance, e. g. backgrounds, and sets corresponding text color to contrast with that background. It always used to be like this. For instance, I currently use Sunflower_01 theme which sets blue sky as a background. The tabs text is white, as well as the bookmarks. The white text contrasts very fine with the sky. But the menu items are awfully black, casting dark-gray shadows on the dark-blue sky. The menu remains black regardless of the theme I set.
    Of course, it's all fine without any add-ons (light background, dark text), but with a theme enabled, it looks not the way it used to be. I wonder if it can be fixed somehow.
    I use Mozilla Firefox 33.0 for Linux Mint (release 13, maya).
    Looking forward to your reply.
    Regards,
    Andrey

    Hello,
    Did you install from the repositories? I have found the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04, a workaround is to either use a userChrome.css file, or (in my opinion, the easier route) [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] extension with a new Style.
    See these articles about the userChrome.css file:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css_Element_Names/IDs
    If you use the userChrome.css route, you may need to restart Firefox to apply the changes.
    See this article for Stylish:
    * http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1570945
    To add a new style in Stylish, click on the Stylish tool on your toolbar, then "Write New Style", then "Blank style". Or:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > User Styles > Write New Style
    Example code for either one method you choose (you can play around with the colours, but I found this worked nicely for my theme):
    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
    /*change size, color, style of text in Menu Bar */
    menubar > menu
    {color: darkgray !important}
    /* Mouse hovering over menu */
    menubar > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"]
    {color: white !important;}
    /* Active/Open menus */
    menubar > menu[_moz-menuactive="true"][open="true"]
    {color: black !important;}

  • ITunes wont open. Error message has no text just red octagon with !

    I plugged in my iPod this morning which is set to automatically launch iTunes. A window came up after several second but there was no text telling me what the error was.
    The only thing showing in the window is a red octagon with an exclamation mark in the middle. Overlapping the bottom right portion of the octagon is the blue iTunes cd icon. There is also a button allowing me to close the window.
    The system appears to be unaffected by this. I have tried running permissions, deleting the plist from Preferences, rebooting, but the same window keeps popping up.
    Can anyone tell me what type of error this is and how to fix it?
    I'm running a 1.42 GHz, G4 Mini with 1 GB of RAM. My iTunes music resides on an external firewire drive with the library files in the Music folder on my hard drive.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm getting the same problem.
    I have no iPod. I can quite iTunes. I tried restarting. Same result.

  • I am having difficulty including text with iPhotos I want to share through email.  I get a red exclamation mark along with a statement stating that the text doesn't fit into the designated text area.  This is so frustrating.

    I am having difficulty including text with iPhotos I want to share through email.  I get a red exclamation mark along with a statement stating that the text doesn't fit into the designated text area.  This is so frustrating. Before iLire11 I was easily able to share photos with email messages.  Arghhhh!

    In the iPhoto preferences you can set Apple Mail as your e-mail client and then it will work exactly as before

  • Opacity level changing when exporting text with alpha

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone can shed some light on what is happening with my opacity levels when exporting text with an alpha.  I have animated text where some words are black at 50% opacity and some words are white at full opacity.  They are on a textured background.  I need to give the other editors a version of the text married to the background and one that is just text with an alpha.  When I export it and bring it into Premiere, the "married" version looks fine, but the black in the version of the text with alpha appears more transparent.  I can fix this by changing the blend mode to Hard Light or Luminosity, but this alters the color of the white text slightly (and I should note that the blend mode in AE was normal).  I can of course work around this by exporting my black and white text separately, but I was hoping someone might know why this is happening.
    I am working on AE CC (ver12) and Premiere CC (ver7)
    Thank you!

    Rick, I am judging visually.
    I have since taken the cue from Mylenium, and I think the problem has to do with the fact that AE's default opacity is not linear and Premiere's is.  When I change the sequence settings of Premiere and uncheck "Composite in Linear Color" the blacks of my clips match.  Similarly when I change my Project Settings in AE and check "Linearize Working Space" the blacks appear lighter as they did when with the text only clip in Premiere.  Since I am working with other editors that are using Premiere, I assume I should change the settings in After Effects to match Premiere (linear).  Unless there is any reason I shouldn't do that?
    Thank you,
    -Keri

  • Compund path or white text ona red background with a drop shadow

    I have had business cards printed before with white text on a red background & the white wasn't 'punched out' (compound path) of the red so the white didn't print - the solution I was given was to create a compund path in illustrator before saving the PDF to punch the white out of the red & that worked fine ...
    I now have dilema in that we want to get some flyers printed that have red starburst with white text over them but they also have a drop shadow behind the red star burst so if I punch the white text out of the startburst the drop shadow then appears through the starburst & the text is no longer white it is the drop shadow gradient from the background - i do not know how to get around this???
     

    As long as your white text isn't set to overprint, you should be fine.  Just place your text in front of your starburst and look at your attributes panel to make sure that overprint fill and overprint stroke are not checked. 
    I'll bet if you go back and look at the file that gave you trouble in the past, overprint fill is checked.

  • Highlighting the text by changing the "character fill color" with double-spacing?

    Highlighting the text by changing the "character fill color" doesn't seem to go well with double-spacing.
    Has anyone been aware of this issue?
    Try double-spacing the text you highlighted. What's up with this?
    This is so annoying and frustrating. I've been trying to do both of them for like 2-3 hours.
    You CAN do both, of course, but if you double-space the highlighted text, it just creates this huge highlighted part (it highlights the space between the two lines!) below the actual text.
    Anyone help me pleeeeeeeease.

    In Pages v5.2.2, taking Baskerville Regular 12 pt, and double-spacing it with character fill color does produce a nasty effect. With View > Show Rulers, I looked where the lines of text lined up on the vertical scale.
    Then I changed the Spacing selector from Lines to Between. Now, just the text had the character fill color, but the line height had increased visually downward. With the between setting, line height is changed to points, and indicates 27 pt. If you adjust this value to 16 pt, the second line of double-spacing will realign with where it was before the between change, while retaining discrete line character fill color.
    Before: Spacing set to Lines, and 2.0 - Double.
    After: Spacing set to Between, and 16 pt

  • Change three frames with one hyperlink

    Hello,
    I am new to Java and was wondering if it is possible to refresh more than one frame with one hyperlink. My webpage consists of three frames and I want to change all three frames (for switching from Spanish to English and vica versa). I need a function to realize what page the main frame is on and change that frame to the cooresponding spanish version of the current page. If anyone can help me out, it would be greatly apretiated...Thanks :)

    definitely Javascript... the server-side can't dictate what frames things go in anyway.
