Text Align is Grayed Out

I am having an issue with one particular site. The site was
created in DW CS3 using the built in style sheet templates. When I
try to edit the site with Contribute CS3 my editable area will not
allow me to align text. The align text buttons are simply grayed
out. My admin settings for editing are the same as all the other
CS3 sites in which I can align the text.
Anybody else run into this or have a fix for it?

Please check your CSS properties of the content area you are trying to align. And also, check the Styles anf Fonts properties in your site Administration settings.

  • Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?

    My users are unable to center text when edited pages in CS3 and CS4. The standard paragraph alignment buttons are grayed out.
    All the users of my site have Admin role, and I have set up the role to allow unrestricted editing. And "Allow Users to Apply Styles"... At screenshot of some of my settings is attached. I don't see why Contribute is not allowing this basic element to work.
    Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I experienced the very same issue, but found an interesting quick-fix that worked for us.
    Several of my webpage content managers reported that they could not change the text alignment in pages created using Dreamweaver nested templates. We use nested editable regions in order to restrict portions of the pages (i.e. banners and navigation menus) from being edited.
    I found that Contribute CS4 could realign text in some parts of the affected pages, but not others.
    Further exam revealed that Contribute could change the alignment on any text that was inside a table on those pages. If I inserted a table and then cut-n-pasted the problem text into the table, the text lost its style/formatting, but it could then have its alignment changed.
    Any text not inside a table could not have the alignment changed by Contribute and changing its style/formatting made no difference.
    One note though: It was interesting that after pasting the text into a table, if I selected a chunk of text, the alignment buttons grayed out again. However, if I simply clicked on the line of text (did not select it), the buttons remained active and the text alignment could be changed.
    I don't know why it is happening. The nested regions were working fine, or so I thought, until recently.
    The above is a quick-fix and got my page content managers back online, but I'm still searching for a long-term solution if anyone has one.
    Good luck...

  • Group image and text in pages grayed out

  • Align objects grayed out

    I placed an image in my Pages document, and I would like to center it. I clicked on it, went to arrange, and then align objects. All of the choices are grayed out. Any ideas why?

    Choose at least two objects, they align against each other.
    If you just want it to align to the cntre of the pahge just drag it till an alignment line shows up.
    Either that or you object is inline in the text and not floating.

  • Adobe Reader X Highlight Text button is grayed out

    I'm trying to highlight text in a pdf document.  At the top of the doc there is an informational note that says "...has been opened in read-only mode to prevent modification." Read-only is ont checked in the properties box. I checked the security and there is none. I have renamed the file with no luck. This is not a scanned document and the text is searchable. I can highlight text in other pdf documents. Any ideas how to get around this read-only setting?
    Also when I tried to add tags to this question I could not underline multiple words as indicated inthe instructions.

    Is there something special about a pdf/a doc?

  • What causes areas to be grayed out when viewing in Acrobat 9?

    What causes text to be grayed out when viewing in Acrobat 9?
    Douments which were fine in Acrobat 9 suddenly have areas blacked or grayed out.  The same thing happens if opened in Acrobet Reader.  Is there a setting that causes this.

    It could be that the text is an image.
    Try going to Edit>Preferences>Page display>Page content and information and check the box hat says "Display large images".

  • Gray out or disable text box

    Hi,
         I have a drop down menu called CN_Entry_Initials that has options of a "C" or an "N". I also have a text box called Part_Number to enter a part number into. I want the Part Number text box to be grayed out or disabled until either a "C" or an "N" has been chosen out of the CN_Entry_Initials drop down menu. I have this working, except that I cannot get the Add button to do anything. I think it’s something to do with the way I have the If statement for this disabled text box, or do I have to change the button to a submit button. Does anyone know how to fix this? Below is the javascript and the drop down menu and text box code along with the Add or submit button. There is extra stuff in the Javascript that I have on the page, but I don't need to worry about those things since they are working correctly. I have the disabled text box code at the top of the javascript under the function verify() code. Thanks.

    I don't understand about using the alert box to output the variables. I know that everything was working with alert boxes, etc. before I added the code for the disable text box code. The difference I see is on the disable text box code I use document.getElementById and on the other code I use document.AddECNumber. Could this cause the Add button to not work? If so, how do I change this code to make it work? I tried just changing it be like the document.AddECNumber code, but that didn't work.

  • "Recognize Text Using OCR" Option Grayed Out in Acrobat 9 Pro (9.5.1)

    Running Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.  I'm working with electronically filed court documents.  I regularly use the OCR tool (Document -> OCR Text Recognition -> Recognize Text Using OCR...) on these court documents.
    Problem is, every once in awhile, I'll run into a document where the "Recognize Text Using OCR" option is inexplicably grayed out.  I have no idea what is causing this.  I have checked the Document Properties and confirmed there are no security restrictions for the document.  It happens inconsistently, in that OCR will work with a document filed by an attorney in one case, but it won't work in the same kind of document filed by the same attorney in a different case.
    Any help getting OCR to work on these few rogue documents is appreciated!

    Form created with LiveCycle Designer are XML forms in a PDF wrapper and many of the usual PDF properties are not available. This is like embedded rich media in a PDF. If you want to research this, Adobe and ISO have the PDF Reference manual available as a free download.

  • Enable hyperlink grayed out for text in stand-alone text box

    I need to create hyperlinks to several webpages in my book.
    I am able to do this by selecting a few words of text in chapters that were "inserted from a Word document," but when I create a separate text box, the menu is grayed out. I have tried selecting the whole text box as well as carefully selecting just the text. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    You're right dabienwa. If you select the text and it has a tight box around it inside the text box, then it's a box within a box. You can't hyperlink these. Deleting all the contents and entering them again solved it for me.
    I discovered this when creating a new text box for a template, and entering some default text that I knew I wanted on every corresponding page. In my case it was "www.domain.com/" allowing me to fill in the remainder on each page and then hyperlink it.
    I ended up deleting the text from the template so I wouldn't get the box-within-a-box problem, and pasting the common text in on every page. I could then actually make the hyperlink text a hyperlink.

  • "Create outlines" grayed out for text-- what is the RIGHT option??

    Hey all,
    So here's what happened. I created an image for a print template in PS (which I use all the time) and then used file-place to bring the image into the AI version of the template. (I don't use AI very often...) I knew that it might not be a good idea to bring in the text, so I didn't. Instead, I recreated the text in AI, selecting it with the text tool to change font size, etc. Each of the three pieces of text is on a separate outline. The next step is supposed to be to convert the text to outlines, but you guessed it, the "create outlines" option is grayed out.
    The text is Titre font (I tried a few others and it didn't seem to make any difference.) The version for both PS and AI is CS5.
    I've spent a lot of time searching for the solution online, but the problem is that there seem to be about a gazillion different possible options for what might work. Given the parameters here (created text in AI, selected with text tool, using separate layers), which is actually the RIGHT solution??
    This artwork is for prizes for a writing contest (custom mugs), and it's supposed to be in by Wednesday-- HELP is greatly appreciated!!
    (P.S.: This isn't my first post!! I'm not sure why the forums are listing it that way.)

    Realnise,
    No, if you have three separate instances of Type, as it seems, for each of these you have to make sure it is selected in its entirety.

  • Cursor with grayed out block of text is only thing on screen

    My husband was playing Solitaire on IMac and screen froze.  I rebooted and white screen came on with cursor and a block of grayed out text.  Any ideas?

    The iPad was telling you that you have to activate it within iTunes by connecting to your computer. The cable pointing to iTunes .... That is the very first thing you should have done. It will not work until it is activated.
    Does your computer meet the minimum requirements?
    PC with USB 2.0 port
    Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
    (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    Try rebooting your computer, make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes installed, then try connecting again to a 2.0 USB port on your PC. Do no connect to a hub.
    If the device is still not recognized in iTunes read this.

  • Iphone 6 keyboard grayed out when opening text message

    when i receive a text message and click on the messages icon, the message shows up but they keyboard is grayed out for a second before becoming visible…has anyone noticed that? i have never noticed it on other iPhones its weird

    I have had my Iphone 5 for two months now and have had this issue on the origianl and a new replacement Iphone 5. I have gone to the genius bar twice already. The first time they reset the phone, wiped it clean and re-downloaded all of the software to the phone. They told me to try it out for a week or so. It kept on happening. Everytime I got a text message, (from the locked screen) I would swipe to open and it would crash and give me the apple symbol for about 20 seconds. I have restarted, hard reset the phone, restored from backup as well. Two phones having the same issue? If it happens again I'll set up a third appointment with the genius bar for a possible third new Iphone 5.

  • Include CD text is grayed out on one computer but not other?

    I am having a strange issue with Itunes on different computers. I have Itunes on both my home computer and my computer at work. On my work computer which is an HP, when I go to preferences>Advanced>Burning> I can select “include CD text”, and everything works fine. However, on my home computer running the same version of ITunes, that option is grayed out and I can’t select it. I have checked some settings, but can’t seem to figure out why I can’t select it on my home computer. Please Help
    HP   Windows XP  

    Ok, I finally got a chance to burn a CD using the Nero express program. Although it was a two step process; 1. burn songs to CD and 2. save tracks to CD, the song names were recognized by the Sure Thing label program, but not the ITunes program. I brought the CD to work, and put it in the computer and the ITunes program did not find the CD text there either. I would assume that the DVD/CD writer IS capable of writing the CD text to the audio CD since the tracks are recognizable by both the Nero program and the Sure Thing label program. Now to figure out why I can’t select “include CD text” in the ITunes preferences on that computer. Oh, I also looked up the model of the work computer disk drive (HP DVD Writer 640I) that allowes the selection of "include CD text" and the home computer disk drive (HP DVD writer 740I) that has this option grayed out. The specs are almost identical with the possible improvements to the later model 740I. I don't know, weird stuff.
