Rich Text Box Issue - Expand to show all Text

Hi everyone
I'm having a pretty frustrating issue with the rich text box when viewing a line item (not when editing the item, but viewing the item)
I want my rich text box to expand with the text, which I have changed in the options on InfoPath with the "Expand to show all text" scrolling option. However, in IE, the table row will expand, but the actual rich text box will not and I'll have
a scroll bar there and you cant see all of the text at one time. If I look in Chrome, then it works the way I want and I can see all of the lines of text that were entered into the rich text box.
The only solution for IE to work correctly is to change the Display settings to "Enable enhanced rich text content...". But the big issue with that is now you can no longer highlight the text (the highlight disappears right after highlighting it),
and the users will need to copy text from the text box, so it renders the "enhanced" rich text box useless for us
It's kind of a lose-lose situation that I'd love to find the solution for

I guess a better solution would be how can you highlight text from an enhanced rich text box, because changing these to "rich text box" gets rid of font colors in the pre-existing data.
The original problem was that they couldn't highlight text unless they went into edit mode

InfoPath 2013 - Rich Text box - Expand to show all text option not working

I have create an InfoPath form and created a view which will be used for printing. I have a rich text box in this print view and the scroll option for this rich text box is set to "Expand to show all text". However, it is not working and it doesn't
expand the size of the text box based on the content length.
same thing used to work in InfoPath 2010.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Neelesh

Hi Wendy,
Here are the steps I have used:
1. On default view added a rich text box.
2. Created another view called Print and mapped it to the same Field which I added to default view
3. Set the Wrap text and Expand to show all text on both the Rich Text Box Properties - in default view and in Print
view. Also set the height of the rich text box to auto.
4. Set the print views as the print view for default view
5. Deployed the form to SharePoint Form Library
6. Opened the form in browser
7. Entered the content in the rich text box in default view. It expands well if I have much content
8. Clicked on Print preview and that opens up the print preview and it shows the rich text box only one line in height and with scroll bar
I missed to mention that it is a web browser enabled form and I am using InfoPath 2013 and SP 2013.
It does work fine in InfoPath client.
Thanks.

How do I get a text box to expand by user and print all text?

I am creating a form in Adobe Live Cycle Designer that was converted from a Word file that contains many text boxes. I would like the text box to expand to accomodate each user's text in edit mode. When the form is printed - all the entered text should print. Even though I set the text box to allow multiple lines, all the user sees when they print is a box with just a couple of lines and a red + in the corner indicating that there is more text. There must be a work around? I am not very proficient in this software so would love someone to give me the necessary steps. Thanks.

It is a dynamic form feature available in Designer. To get more information, ask in the LiveCycle forum.

How to copy/paste anchor text box to its anchor point in text and delete all empty anchors?

hi all
i have a document of few pages but one story. The right column is the main text box and on many places anchored text boxes are placed which appeared on the left column as shown below.
i want text of each anchor-text-box to be cut from its place and paste at its insertion/anchor point and delete all empty anchored boxes.
I am trying since morning but i unable to reach anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be helpful.

Ok, let's say you have one main text box (not anchored) and three text boxes that are anchored to text within it. The first one is anchored with text, the second one is unanchored, and the third one is empty (I'm not going to get into inline anchoring vs. custom anchoring since you didn't bring it up in your post).
We cycle through the items on the page:
function main(){
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myPages = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++){
    var myPage = myPages[i];
    //Checks that the page is valid, and that it is not a master page. If either is true, skips to the next page.
    if (myPage.isValid == false) continue;
    if (myPage.parent instanceof MasterSpread) continue;
    var myItems = myPage.allPageItems;
    for (var j = 0; j < myItems.length; j++){
      //Current item.
      var myItem = myItems[j];
      //If myItem doesn't have a Character parent, it is not anchored.
      //The first and third text frames would fail this test.
      if (!(myItem.parent instanceof Character)) continue;
      //We only care about text frames.
      if (!(myItem instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
      //I think the only way this would happen would be if you had an image or
      //something else unexpected within the frame. I check for it so no content
      //is inadvertently lost.
      else if (myItem.texts.length > 1) continue;
      //If we're still in this iteration of the loop, all qualifications are met.
      //Flatten the text frame.
      //I don't use layers that often so, to me, flatten makes sense. You may want
      //to use a different term if there's a chance for confusion.
      flattenItem(myItem);
function flattenItem(funcItem)
     //Hold onto the anchor character.
    var myParent = funcItem.parent;
     //Duplicate the text from within the frame so that it appears right after the anchor.
     //There may be other methods, but this works for me. I try to avoid copy/paste
     //so as not to deal with any clipboard mishaps. I added a check in case of empties.
     if (funcItem.texts.length > 0){funcItem.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myParent.insertionPoints[0]);}
     //Replace the anchor character itself with a space (or whatever) which also
     //deletes the text frame it was anchoring.
    myParent.contents = " ";
I guess the takeaway might be that you're not looking at the main text frame and then checking to see if anything is anchored to it. You're looking at each text frame and figuring out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.

Report / Query to show all texts within all customer master records

Hi,
Can anyone let me know if there is a report or a query to show all texts within all customer master records?
Many Thanks
Aries

Hello Aries,
I don't believe there is a standard SAP report that does this.
But,...
You can see all the customer text types (Customer SD) using transaction VOTX.
Table TTXID contains the same info using Text Object "KNVV".
If you decide to have a custom ABAP developed use function READ_TEXT. SE37 can be used to validate a test.

When I open my email in the text box it doesn't show anything until i hit the forward button. Can anyone help?

See if any of the following help.
Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?

Even simpler than that.
Clicking once in a text box selects it.
Clicking once in a selected text box places the insertion point in the box.
The clicks do not need to be close enough in time to be read as a double click.
The same behaviour applies to table cells in Pages and in Numbers.

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available: Text (plain) and Paragraph. (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)

Top of text box moves up when typing new text exceeds box width.

Using iWork 09 I set a text box on a master and mark it as Format/Advanced/Define as text placeholder. In the Text Inspector, I set parameters as left justified, align text to bottom, line spacing = 1, and other numerical parameters to 0. Then, on a new slide using this master, the top of the text box moves up to accommodate additional text and it would be seem more natural for the bottom of the box to extend DOWN instead. What am I missig here?

it would be seem more natural for the bottom of the box to extend DOWN instead. What am I missig here?
No it wouldnt. If you understand that, align to bottom, fixes the last character in the bottom line to the bottom right hand corner of the text box, the text then flows from that corner as you add extra text.
You cant have align to bottom and have the text flow from the top, you need to choose between the three options.
If you want to add extra lines without the box moving; use align to top.
If you want to align the text to the bottom of the box; use align to bottom.
I set parameters as left justified,
There is no such thing as left justified. You need to choose between justified or left align, these are two different alignment methods, text is either left aligned, right aligned or justified, not a combination of them.

Text Entry Box not showing all text

I am creating a simple exercise where I would like the user to copy text from the course, paste it into word, and report back what the word count is. I thought perhaps the Text Entry Box would be the best way to go, since if you click on the existing (default) text, you can copy it. However after I place the paragraph of text in the box, and resize in the editor so that all the text shows, it does not show all the text when playing back, either previewd or published. It only shows the last few words of the last line at the top of the box.
Is there something I am missing? Or, is there an easier/better way to do what I need?
Thanks

Hi all
If this is Captivate 4, there may not be any need for a widget to do this. I'm guessing you haven't tried enabling the Scroll Bar for the Text Entry Box (TEB)?
When I just plop a TEB on a slide, I get this in edit view:
During playback it looks like this:
But if I edit the TEB properties and enable the Show Scrollbar option:
I get this in the output:

Some web sites showing all text as "A" in a box?

Hard to explain but when i go to some web site all i see is lines and lines of capital "A" in a box?
It's like every letter has changed to this error icon. For example if I go to:
http://shop.orange.co.uk/newiphone
not sure if it's my system. I am all up-to-date.
My spec is 27.5" iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1067MHz DDR3
Hope you can help?
Kind regards
Richard

Richard...
Could be a third party font manager causing the text issue.

ICal doesn't show all text for the activity

When I updated to iCal version 8.0 i noticed that when I am in week-view, iCal doesn't show all the text for an activity, although there is plenty of room. For example I have a lecture from 9 am - 4 pm and in the activity I put down all the things I have to do, but it only shows the first line for my activity. I need to drag the box or double click on it to see all the text. Can I change this?

Gabriella,
Sometimes making the Calendar window bigger, or using full screen allows additional text to be displayed.
View>"Make Text Smaller" is also an option for those with Eagle Eyes.

Text Box issue - displays XML tag instead of the value in EBS

I need to use a textbox (or a autoshape with text) to place a data element in a specific position on the page in an RTF template. I tried using tables and it didn't help. This layout needs some elements to be placed at specific location and using an autoshape or a text box is easy. When I preview the pdf output on my desktop, it works fine. Once I upload the template into EBS XML Publisher, the value in the text box shows up as an XML Tag instead of the value in that tag. The same XML data when loaded and previewed locally shows the data instead of the tag.
Any thoughts on this? Is there a patch or something we might need for this in EBS?
Thanks,
Vinay

Thanks Tim for the quick response.
Yes - the versions are same. Also, I tried giving the complete path. The issue is that it is not even reading the text in the text box as an XML tag. It seems to think the whole text box is an object and hence just display that text as is. If it was reading and not able to resolve it, I guess it would have displayed blank (and not the tag as is). Again as I mentioned it works fine in local preview on my machine.

Text Box issues with a poster template

This sounds stupid and all but, I am trying to type lowercase in a text box in one of the poster templates and it will only type caps. I cannot seem to find anything to clikc or unclick. It seems like this shouldn't be so difficult.

Hi there,
I too am having problems with the text box. I have a line at the beginning of each sentence, I can't seem to get rid of. Now this problem does not exist on the first page, but any other pages I try to edit the text on I get this line. I've looked everywhere, but can't seem to find the solution. Any help out ther? Or if you need further clarification to the issue, just let me know!
