Selecting type on a flipped path

There seems to be no way to select individual characters in order to kern type on a path when the text has been flipped. I often create type on a circle that I flip, but can find no way to edit individual characters. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much! BW

You should be able to double-click on the text with the white arrow tool (Direct Selection Tool). Then you get a type cursor that you can move back and forth with the arrow keys. Hold down Shift when using the arrow keys and you get a type selection. As far as I know this works whether the type is flipped or not.

  • Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1)

    Hi,
    My Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1). This is what I have tried so far and the problem still exists.
    Check preferences for "Text": "Select text-object by path only" should be off. Checked. It was off. Didn't fix it.
    Check the toggle for Show/Hide Edges in the View menu. Cmd(Ctrl)-H. Checked. Edges Showing. Didn't fix it.
    Trashed my Prefeerences. Didn't fix it.
    Any other suggestions out there?
    Thank you!!!

    I figured it out! I feel pretty silly, but I will share this in hopes of helping the next person :/ Here goes. Don;t laugh to hard!
    It was the leading! The space between the two lines of text was less than half of the point size of the actual text. So it looked like two lines but there was actually 3.
    Geeze, I'm embarrassed! Thank you for suggesting that I may not need to recreate the entire document, but start with the text, input manually again (even on a new layer, to match the original), which lead to a fix!
    Thank you!!!

  • Could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.

    I was trying to do a photo of mine like in this video but its not working help needed. thanks.

    When I tried the 3D I got an error message that said (could not complete the new 3D extrusion from selected layer command because the path is too complex.) what does this mean and how can i fix it?

    There was a bug at one time where really simple paths (like a triangle, for example) could cause that error.
    Is your path really simple (I don't plan to go watch the video)?  If so, have you installed the latest update for Photoshop?  That bug may have been fixed already.
    If it's not that, it's possible that if your path is really complex and simply exceeding Photoshop's capability.

  • Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

    Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

    Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there.  For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color.  For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
    What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted.  Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something.  You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

  • How do I change my timeline selection type

    So I didn't even know it, but apparently there is a different mode of frame select, where normally you hold control to access it while your cursor is in the timeline, but it has become the default!! and now the holding control state is the normal selection type!! please help meee

    Scratch that it's in timeline properties, called span based selection.

  • Photoshop CS6 is not allowing me to type on a shaped path

    What is wrong...it seems like a bug.

    Hi,
    What operating system are you using?
    Have you applied the latest updates using Help>Updates from within photoshop?
    Is the path a shape layer or path and what happens when hover the type cursor over the path, does the cursor change like below from the top one
    to the bottom one?

  • Cannot create a server using the selected type

    Hi,
    I'm trying to integrate tomcat 6.0 with Eclipse. But when I try to add Tomcatv6.0 Server,
    it is sowing an error message " Cannot create a server using the selected type ".
    Can anyone tell me why?
    Thanks in advance

    In order to solve the problem you need to
    * close eclipse
    * go to ~/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings
    * remove the files org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs and org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs
    * solve the problem with the permissions of the policy files or the personal instance of tomcat6
    * start eclipse
    In order to be able to use the tomcat6 server the proper solution is to have a personal instance of the tomcat6 server as described in the section "Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances" of the file RUNNING.txt (and the problems that have been reported about this ;-) )
    My configuration: Debian/Sid, Eclipse 3.4.1. Ganymede

  • Trouble selecting type

    Using imac OS X 10.4.11 - Illustrator CS3.
    All working fine on a layout but suddenly the type tool fails to select type (characters, words or paragraph). It does allow me to enter new type but any attempt to 'drag' select or double click select does not happen.
    Has been working fine for most of the project and then ceased to work. Have tries restarts etc. to no effect.
    Any clues?

    Check to see if the Edges or the Bounding Box has been hidden. In he View menu, if you see either Show Edges or Show Bounding Box (or both)then click them to unhide. You the should be able to select the text.

  • Internet Explorer Unsupported video type or invalid file path? HTML 5

    Hello.
    First I would like to salute all you people out there that answer questions in these forums. Thank you! They have been more helpful than my Web Design class.
    Here is my problem. I cannot get Internet Explorer to play my video files. It says Unsupported video type or invalid file path. I have added the .htaccess file for MIME types, and included .mp4, .ogg, and .webm. I have also included a smaller resolution for mobile. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
    Also if anybody could explain to me in an idiot proof way how to add flash support step by step for this site that would be great. I have searched all over the internet, read many tutorials, used the free code makers, and I still cannot get flash to work.

  • Selecting type

    Is there a way to select just a word or line of type to copy? I can only select all or one character. I love my i-pod touch, which replaced an old Palm Tungsten E2, but I haven't gotten the hang of selecting type. I thought I could just drag my finger across what I want, but that doesn't work.
