Space around text in a box

I am following the instructions regarding margins but whilst having lots of space on the right it remains very tight on the left. It's supposed to make the same amount of space all around the text??
Any ideas?

In the text inspector insert a margin last tick in the window after the paragraph adjustments.
Even if you don't use bullets you can also do some adjusment under that tab as far as space around text in the window.
As much as possible control your text with the sliders space before paragraph space after line spacing rather than extra characters as it is a much cleaner formating and when you make changes you won't have to remove any of those extras.
I was a print designer in another life, but text formating is text formating no matter where it is.

Space around text in textField.

Hi,
See attatched code.
I made a simpel textFiled with some text and a border.
Does anyone knows how to get rid of the extra space between
the text and the border of the textField? I'm goning crazy with
this.
I made the width of the textFiled the width of the text and
the height of the textField the height of the text. But because of
the extra space the text will not show as I wanted to be.
Is there a solution for this? To remove the extra space
surrounding the text?
Thanks.

unfortunately no :(
I tried that already. There is also no top margin and bottom
margin property that I could use :(
I have a text line, and I must position this line to the x/y
coordinates of the righttop of the textField. But with this space
it will not exactly position on the given x/y.
There must be a solution to get rid of this space? Or maybe I
use the wrong object to do this?
Anyone?

Creating boxes around text....

Hi,
I'm hoping there is a better solution to this problem then what I've using.
I would like to be able to create a box around text that is able to resize when increasing/decreasing font.
My working solution is to create a text box with text then use direct selection tool to select the anchors and convert that into a shape, either a rectangle or rounded rectangle. This isn't bad since it allows an equal amount of space around the text but it does have problems. If the font size increases or decreases, the box remains the same. I have to use the Area Type Option to resize the box. Also, if I wanted to do this for lots of boxes then I have to select all of the individual anchors which will be time consuming.
Is there a simpler solution?
Thanks.

Use the Selection Tool (Black Arrow) to select the text and then add a new Fill via the Appearance Panel.
Move the new fill below the Characters item in the Appearance Panel
With that fill highlighted choose Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle

Rule around text boxes?

How do we remove the rule around text boxes?

Hi graphicscoordinator,
There currently isn't a option in FormsCentral to remove the rule that appears around text fields. There is a Feature Request form where you can sumbit your request for this feature, however. Visit https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=XnF-KJVCovcEVQz9tZHYPQ.

How to remove space below text?

In the screenshot below, how to remove space below text? I simply added a text box using the type tool and I get that extra space bellow the letter "B" that I don't need. I want to remove that space to center the letter within the octogon.
Thanks!

You might consider giving the letter a negative baseline shift and aligning it to centre.
That way you can adjust it so that its anchor point coincides with the centre of the hexagon.
Like this:
Another thing: You may find it easier working with type if you hide bounding boxes.

White block around text in preferences UI window

I've recently started getting white (or very light grey) blocks around my text and controls in preferences windows. It doesn't do it in primary windows in osX. below is an example from the iTunes preferences window. Not sure when it started doing it...it was recent but other than calibrating my monitors I don't recall doing anything else that would cause such a thing. And going back to previous monitor calibrations doesn't fix it. Any thoughts?

You are opening an image directly in the browser -
MM_openBrWindow('dr_chm_allrgt_400x300.jpg'
In that case, you have no control over how the browser
displays the image.
To get control, you would have to open an HTML page that
contains the image
instead of opening the image directly.
There are extensions that will do this for you on the fly -
the one I use is

Template with php script, white space around background, locking layers

two questions for 2 sites:
1.) first site http://www.beckervanhoveln.com
I can't get my background to line up correctly; there is a giant white border around the whole thing. With the amount of extra space around the background on all sides, I think it may be an issue with the illustrator file I am importing, but I can't see any way to fix it there, either. All the margins that I can find to change relating to that background are set to 0. Any ideas on what could be causing this? The image in Illustrator is 14" wide, so it's plenty wide enough to cover the whole page.
2.) site http://sai.theclothesgallery.com
I inserted php scripts into a page (in the editable paragraph region) and it is messing up the alignment of the page. Compare what you get on the home page with what you get when you click the "client login" button. Also, wondering where the extra body area came from on page http://sai.theclothesgallery.com/protected_downloads_zdr/validuser.php.
On both sites I am using wrapper and body tags, as directed in the tutorial by Nate (great one, thanks!). On my old site, http://www.theclothesgallery.com, everything works fine, but on the new ones I am just out of my mind. I've spent 10 hours over the last 2 days doing research and trying to manipulate code, to no avail. Thanks to anyone who can help.
Finally, is there a way to lock a layer inside or on top of another layer. for example, the layer the body text is in on site http://sai.theclothesgallery.com is on top of the layer that holds the page's images (which is an imported illustrator file with slices). Is there a way to lock that layer to the first one so it doesn't move if I make changes?

Kelly,
1. The image itself has a white border. You will need to crop that image
in an image editor such as Photoshop.
2. Looking at the source of the page you have two sections and
two opening toags but only one closingtag. The PHP
script is probably creating the additional sections, but without seeing
the script it is impossible to say for certain.
2a. You probably have a space or blank line before the opening

Removing White Space Around Header - from CSS?

What is causing the white space around the header and
above/below the top nav bar? There's also an extra white pixel
space between each of the buttons on the top nav bar.
See;
http://home.roadrunner.com/~phenline/products/prods_models_9_10_07.html
I've also attached the CSS stylesheet.
I thought it might be a valign tag but they are all in the
main text and are necessary to glue the 3 main sections just under
the top nav bar. I couldn't find any vspace or hspace options in
the code.
Because of the rollovers on the top blue horizontal nav bar,
I need the "class" option in each <td> tag. Otherwise, if I
put the class="navMain" option on the <tr> tag, then the
whole nav bar will show the rollover color. Or, I suppose I could
create 5 different CSS styles for each nav button ???
Any ideas? Thank you.

HI, for first you should to revrite tables to DIV, or you can
correct this with a CSS code for the table:
for example you shold to check the background color to the
same:
.x {
background-color: #3766c8;
for more example about Table CSS styling you can check a good
wizard:

Clear space around logo

I'm wondering if there are exeptions to the rule that you have to have a certain amount of clear space around a logo.
For example, we have Forms that people fill out, that are so full of text and lines, that we can't follow our own guidelines for keeping a certain amount of clear space around the logo, and the size of the logo (logo will have to be smaller than the min. size acceptable in our Brand Standard document – but still it would be very visible).
Since those Forms are not promotional items, I"d figure that we can break the rule, but other people around me don't think so.
Is there some kind of writing on this from some Authorities in the Marketing/Advertising field that someone could refer me to?
Thanks.

I'm going to try to stay on topic here and answer the best I can your question about forms. You can try to contact someone at graphicdesignusa.com or the graphic artist's guild, NY. There is a very, very fine line when it comes to brand, branding, and brand identity. The standards you mention in your original post should be followed to the letter. I wonder if they have specific reference information concerning forms where there simply isn't enough room to include all of the white space around the logo. I would make an attempt to follow their guidelines and present what the result is. If they ( whoever is your boss or client who ultimately has the approval power ) think it is acceptable the way it is based on their brand guidelines, then that's on them. I'm not aware of any information available out there where an exception can be made. You will have to present some variations and have them approve whichever they end up liking the most. I'd say three variations including one going by the book. Let them decide. And, get them to physically sign-off on the approved version.

Black space around webpages.

Hi I am very new to Dreamweaver. I made a site in Golive some time ago and I now need to update it and refresh it. I had a problem in Golive with a black space around all my pages which you can see at www.goldenumber.co.uk I was never able to sort this out in the golive forum and am hoping to have more luck here. Any suggestions?
Matt.

Unless I'm missing something in your question, I see the page as it was intended by the html and the css.
The black around the ediges the 'page' background - as defined in your stylesheet:
body { color: white; font-family: tahoma, verdana, arial; background-color: black; background-repeat: no-repeat; text-align: center; }
Your content area is contained within the wrapper div which is set to be centered with a width of 1000px.
#wrapper { background-position: center 50%; text-align: left; position: relative; width: 1000px; height: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; }
This means that any browser window over 1000px wide will see the black background all the way around your wrapper/content area.

Adjusting space around "textwrap' after opening PM7 file in InDesign

Love PageMaker as it suits my basic needs, but printer needs Indesign file. In PageMaker 7, I have numerous photos with captions (67). The photo and caption have been textwrapped together. When I open the file in InDesign 4, both the caption and photo have "frames," but there is a solid red frame around both of them (what would be close to the textwrap size in PageMaker 7). This solid red frame is larger than the original textwrap frame in PM7 and therefore throwing out of line the rest of the material (non-textwrapped) in my file. I don't know how to make this solid red frame smaller. This is the only problem I have when I open my file in InDesign. Unfortunately nothing I am reading seems to point me in the right direction. I would so greatly appreciate any help. Will send box of candy!! Thanks. Elkie2

Mike (and Bob and Peter),
"first post says this is a red frame, post #3 says red line. They are adjusted differently and easily. Strokes on frames need adjusted separately from the frame size."
Didn't mean to say "red line" (strokes). If I can't explain the problem correctly, what hope is there for me. One more try. There is one red frame with handles which surrounds the photo with its caption. The handles would allow me to change the frame size which I don't want to do, as I don't want to change the size of the photo. There is another red frame without handles around this frame. This frame, without the handles, is the one that has too much space around it (top, bottom and sides). Since it has no handles, there is no way to adjust its size. Hope this might make more sense, if someone still wants to try to respond.
(Will look a pdf issues also - thanks for words on it).

Adding spaces around components

I have a problem but I don't know what keywords to type into the search box, sorry if it was posted before.
i want to add some space around each of my javax.swing.border.Box because without spaces, the GUI looks very cramped. My GUI is current a Y_AXIS Box, inside there are 4 X_AXIS Box. Please lend me some help on how to create spaces around the Box.
Thanks a lot, appreciate.

To add space to any component regardless of the layout manager you are using you can use component.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder())

Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

Please help! Illustrator CS6 started trying to open all of my complex.ai files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they were text files, and they are not opening! Help!

Hi Monika,
I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested. I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows. Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs. I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool. I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat. Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number. After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed. I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner. The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me. Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
Would appreciate any help you experts can offer. If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

Text wrap dialogue box is blank in CS3

I am not able to view the options in the text wrap dialogue box - why? I have restarted InDesign and my computer but there are no options showing in the dialogue box. I use text wrap all the time so this is a major problem for me. Thanks for your help!

Try resetting preferences. http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/5.0/help.html?content=WSa285fff53dea4f86173837510 01ea8cb3f-6d1e.html
Immediately after starting Indesign, hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift (Shift-Opt-Cmd-Cntrl on Mac). If you don't get a message about deleting preferences, you weren't fast enough.

JSlider + Display value in a text tool tip box

Hello,
I am new to Java. I want to display the value in a text tool tip box of the JSlider as the user moves the knob . Is there any way to achieve this.
