Tab to placeholder text

Hi, I hope someone can help me! I am creating a custom template and need to figure out how to be able to tab to the placeholder text (just being able to tab to each section without having to click on each placeholder). Also, is it possible to make the placeholder become longer if I need more space to type, without making the the rest of the words in the document move?
Thanks!
Laura

Thank you - so basically I can't tab to each placeholder, like I would on a "boiler plate" type document. I will play around with the floating box - my goal is to be able to type in the placeholder text box without making other text move around, which changes the whole document.
There MUST be a way to "lock" the text box, or make a box that can be tabbed to! I know it can be done in Windows, but the whole point is to get away from Windows (which I have to use at work). Just had a thought - maybe I can create the template in Windows and mail it to myself and then save it to pages, and then I can tab to the text box? Basically it is a questionnaire that I use for work and want to be able to do it as fast as possible.
Thanks again
Laura

How to disable placeholder text in the URL and search fields of the navigation bar?

Everytime I open a new tab (frequently, home page is set to blank) I have to look at "Go to a Website" in the navigation bar. The search field shows the name of the currently active search engine until text is inputed. All I want is to be able to do is disable the placeholder text, showing both fields as blank.

Thank you. Worked fine. For anyone who comes across this in the future, change "graytext" to "transparent" to hide the placeholder all the time. As is above, the placeholder shows when the mouse points at the box.

Why does iphoto delete placeholder text?

why does iphoto delete placeholder text when I try to send photo in email?

When I downloaded photos from a camera SD card using an adapter, I noticed two Albums were created in the Photo app.(Last Import & All Import). Like you stated, there is no option to delete excess photos without deleting all of them. So this is the lengthy steps I went through to delet the extra album (I hope someone comes up with a shorter process):
1) Connect iPad into your PC (Make sure you configured to Sync with iTunes)
2) Go to My Computer > right click and open Apple iPad > right click and open Internal Storage > right click and open DCIM. (This will show the photos from those to Albums only)
3) Right click on a empty space on the desktop
4) Click on New > Folder
5) Go back to the DCIM files and right click on each file(one at a time) then copy and paste each file over the New Folder.
6) Go back to the DCIM files and open each folder and right click and delete each photo.
You will notice that all the same photos are being deleted on the Photo app simultaneously.
7) Then drag the New Folder into you Pictures on the PC.
8)Then open iTunes on your PC and click on the Photo tab and click Sync on the bottom right to import those photos back to your iPad.
I hope my scenario can apply to you.

How Can I Set a Default Placeholder Text Language?

How can I set a default placeholder text language instead of having to set the language every time I use placeholder text?

Steve Werner wrote:
I think the default placeholder text language is the language of your version of InDesign.
The placeholder text is based on the current language setting. So if the language under the cursor is Hebrew, you'll get Hebrew.

Adding placeholder text in Photoshop CS4

Hi,
Hope this finds you well.
Does anyone know how to add placeholder text in Photoshop cs4?
I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

There is no built-in function as with InDesign (Photoshop isn't a layout program, after all. If you're setting large amounts of body copy you're using the wrong tool for the job...).
Locate some placeholder text. Here's one of the many links Google returns:

PDF printing out background placeholder text in fillable forms

I'm trying to print out a PDF which has fillable form fields. The Date of Birth text field has a faint grey placeholder text dd/mm/yyyy. Everytime those fields are filled in, the dd/mm/yyyy will also print out in the background. Is this an option that can be turned off or is it something to do with how the form was made?

Auto-tabbing between input text fields in AS3

Hello-
I am having some trouble figuring out how to work auto-tabbing between input text fields when a user inputs a character. I have a series of text boxes with maxChar set to 1, and when the user inputs a character, I would like it to auto-tab to the next one. I'm putting together a crossword-style banner ad so the auto-tabbing will help tremendously. All the input text fields are instanced on the stage as input1, input2, etc; not called in from a custom class. Also, I've been working with AS3 for about 2 weeks lol!
thanks!

Awesome, thank you, that works nicely! Now I need to figure out how to capture individual keyCodes for each input and then come up with a conditional to check for right or wrong answers. I have a "check your answers" button all set up. I think I am almost there, possibly a syntax hiccup for me. Any advice on how to do that would be appreciated.

XML: Using static & placeholder text inside element with children?

Hi there
I’m working with simple XML data with the following structure:
Root
     Row
          Company_name
          Physical_address
          Phone
          Website
          Email_address
     Row
          Company_name
          Physical_address
          Phone
          Website
          Email_address
etc.
The row element will be repeated many times. In setting up my InDesign document I’d like to use static text within each Row element. What’s confusing me is where I should use the Row tag. I’d like my imported XML data to run as continuous text, thus:
Company: placeholder text
Address: placeholder text
placeholder text
placeholder text
placeholder text
Company: placeholder text
Address: placeholder text
placeholder text
placeholder text
placeholder text
I tried setting it up like this, with the parent text frame given the Root tag:
<Row>Company: <Company_name>placeholder text</Company_name>
Address: <Physical_address>placeholder text</Physical_address>
<Phone>placeholder text</Phone>
<Website>placeholder text</Website>
<Email_address>placeholder text</Email_address></Row>
…but when I import my XML file I lose all my static text and each child element is indented more than its parent element. I would guess that by placing my static text within the Row tag it gets replaced when each Row element is imported, but where else would I place it? Do I have to create anchored text frames (tagged with Row) within the Root frame to hold each Row element?
I’d appreciate any insights.

OK, I’ve figured out the first problem. I just needed to play around with the options in the dialogue that comes up when importing XML. Specifically, the “Do not import contents of whitespace-only elements” needs to be checked. I still don’t see why that should affect whether or not my static text stays in place.
Now, my new question is this: It looks like all the child elements of a container element have to appear in the document in the same order in which they appear in the XML file. Is this right? If I swap my Email_address and Website tags around in my placeholder text, either the email address disappears or it appears at the end (depending on the options I select in the dialogue upon import). So if I want to change the order in which they appear I have to do so in the XML file as well?

Indent /tab position for text from INCLUDE texts in SAPscript

Hi, ABAP colleagues!
Need your help on this sapscript problem: How to align texts taken from "INCLUDE TEXT" in SAPscript, according to tab defined in Paragraph Format?
Or, how to control tab positions for texts which were extracted from INCLUDE text commands in SAPscript?
I defined a paragraph format with tab stop at 8 CH so that with 2 commas (,,) my text will be displayed there. However it always appears to the left (e.g. 1st column) and not indented at the proper column for description/text (e.g. which is in second column).
Pls help, bec a different heading and information is not acceptable to client for the Thailand characters.
Above is the description of the problem. Below are some technical details.
For specific example, I am editing Zversion of standard sap MM form MEDRUCK Window Main - Text Element Item Text.
BG ,,&TTXIT-TDTEXT&
/: INCLUDE &T166P-TXNAM& OBJECT &T166P-TDOBJECT& ID &T166P-TDID&
/: NEW-PARAGRAPH BG
So far, tried these approaches:
PARAGRAPH
NEW-PARAGRAPH
LANGUAGE '2'
THANGSAN font
Any ideas?
Thank you so much in advance for all your help. Our project team will really appreciate it. May the Lord bless you as we go through our SAP work!

Placeholder text doesn't seem to be working -- please help

I can create a textbox on a section page in the layout section. I have added and enabled some placeholder text in it. I've applied the changes to affect the other section pages in my book. Those section pages get the new textbox and placeholder text but nothing is selectable to change.
I feel like I have tried every combination of enabling box and text, just text, just box but still nothing is selectable on the section pages that I want to make different captions for.
Can someone please help me understand how to do this?
Thank you!!

Its not a problem..... points mean nothing really, the only thing I care about is being able to offer a suggestion that works and removes the worry and stress of facing a situation without somebody - metaphorically - at your side to put the smile back.
Goos luck with your books when they hit the store.

The Placeholder Text Comes Out in Arabic

When I apply placeholder text it comes out in Arabic. How can I make it so the placeholder text comes out in latin letters?

Press Ctrl before you click on the placeholder text, and you will be
able to choose whichever language you want.
But I think essentially the placeholder text follows the currently
selected language, so if you set the text to English USA or something, I
believe you should get appropraite placeholder text.

Default Tab settings in Text:Show Ruler Menu

How do I change beige tabs with white text to beige tabs with black (or some other dark color) text?

Classic Restore changed by FF 29 tabs to beige with black text on the active tab and to beige with white text on the other open tabs. The white text is not visible. How do I change the white text to a darker color?
If this cannot be done, is there a way to reinstall FF 29 with just the security updates (and not all the other gimmicks) so that I can retain my FF 28 settings? Thank you.
