Text box floating in front of video ?

Hi there !
I am trying to get a quicktime slideshow from Aperture to sit behind text in iweb but the movie obscures the text boxes in front
http://web.me.com/ruperteden/palaciobelmonte/test.html
http://web.me.com/ruperteden/palaciobelmonte/splash.html
I have sent the movie to the back but it will not allow the text to appear in front?
Can anyone help solve this ?
thanks in advance ...

Convert the text to a gif or png file with or without a transparent background like the example in this demo page: Misc. Items.

How to I create floating text boxes in Pages 5.2 (there is no inspector setting)

In previous pages you could have several text boxes "floating" using the inspector tool. In pages 5.2 I can seem to have two text boxes layered without one of them becoming invisible. I have looked through all the settings I can find. Has anyone else out there figured this out? It is a must for newsletters and such!

When layered do you want the text box underneath to be visible or invisible in the parts that overlap?

Can anybody tell me why and how I can fix it. The page is baystatewiring.com/blog.html

You need to make the text box float left.

Text Box in Table Cell

I'm attempting to insert a text box into a table cell but can't. I can't drag one in there either. Are there settings I need to adjust to make this work?

I don't believe you can insert a text box into a table cell, but you can place a text box on a table cell. The trick is to make the text box floating with wrap turned off.

" Text box" in OBIEE

Hi all,
Is it possible to create a Text box in the front end dashboard on OBIEE where the user can type the name of the data that he/she wants to search and by clicking the SUBMIT button option, it should take the user to the new screen where the report is generated.?
Or do we have an alternative for the "Text box" where the requirement can be accomplished?
Please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
you can create a dashboard prompt for the column to filter on and set the Control column to Edit Box.
Hope this works for you

Is it possible to have a text box in front of a widget?

I have my layout ready on iBooks Author. Every widget was sent to back of each page (Send to Back). Some have text boxes on top of them (Bring to Front). Everything looks perfect.
When I open the iBook on an ipad, all widgets are at the front of the pages, and all text boxes are covered by the widgets, were superposition occurs.
I want my text to be on top at all times, just like its shown by the iBooks Author interface.
One last thing, if I open the iBook on the ipad, the table of contents thumbnails shows everything like its supposed to be. Its the pages themselves that are all wrong, with unreadable text caused by the widgets, as described above.
Which makes me thing this is clearly a bug.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

You can't? Just to give you some context, I work as a graphic designer, I'm creating for the first time an iBook for a client and I have quite a few examples already.
A couple of vague examples:
- Imagine a diagonal animation from the bottom left corner to the top right corner of the page. I could do this with keynote or html, for example. Now imagine you want some text floating at the top left and bottom right corner.
I wont get into details, but the fact the animation is "cutting" through the text is very much relevant to the context.
- A page with a bold white title, a strong photographic lowkey background and some kind of interaction of top of it.
- A page with a keynote widget occupying almost the entire area, and a title in text format (that would superpose with they keynote but not with its graphics)
- etc etc
These are all impossible scenarios.
The actual interaction with text/images and interactive elements is nonexistent.
But I understand now that the interactive bits of the book must be separated from the other content - its context -which is a shame. And I understand it's not a bug, from what you say. The iBA interface shows the book like a PFD export, in a way, as well as the thumbnails at the Table of Contents, were all the text is visible. The actual pages have a different behaviour.
Thank you very much for the fast feedback. I will use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu, as suggested.

How do I change the colour of a page in Pages without using a floating shape or text box?

I want to change the colour of a page in Pages without having to stretch out a floating coloured shape or using a text box to write the text in. I have been stretching shapes and using text boxes for years but surely there is an simpler and more elegant way to do this? Plus, I want to be able to type several pages of continuous text and not have to split the text up into multiple text boxes. Any help most welcome.

There are a whole lot more really essential features missing in Pages than this.

Linking Floating Text Boxes in Pages - What Happened?

A year ago, I prepared various documents (i.e., newsletter and book-type document) in Pages. I was able to link floating text boxes. A month ago, I got a message after opening my last year's newsletter indicating that the links to the boxes had been broken when I opened the document. In addition, the command disappeared from the command box. I found instructions in the Apple website, but these referred me back to the command that no longer exists in the command box.
I remembered that when I switched from Windows to Apple in 2009, I was impressed that I did not need a publishing software to prepare my newsletter. I was able to do everything I needed with Pages. I am wondering whether Apple decided to change the versatility of Pages and add a publishing software.
Can anyone help me? I really hope that Apple did not destroy Pages' versatility. However, I have learned that adaptation is the name of the game. Therefore, I will do whatever needs to be done. I just need to know what to do. Thanks for helping!

You probably hit the Numbered List on the control panel (top). Just deselect it and it should be fine.

Connect two floating text boxes in Pages so the text continues

Text box in pages has blue tabs - how to undo these? and what is 'floating

how can i get the blue tabs to go away? what is floating text?
deb

You can use Shapes to write in but then you have to change the fill and line colour. The text boxes blue tabs doesn't show when printing and there are for letting text flow. you can have one box on pages 1 and connect it to a text box on page for and the text will flow over to the box on page 4 if there is enough text. Just like in the magazines, more folloews on page 4.

Converting images that include text boxes and callouts in FM

Hello,
I'm on a new project (TCS 3.5, RH 9, FM 10) that requires me to include text boxes and lines (callouts) on top / in front of many of the images in FM. The reason they are not allowing me to add the text/callouts to the images themselves is because they want to keep the text boxes editable for translation.
The problem: After importing into RH, these images have white borders on all sides that they didn't have previously and I can't figure out what's causing it.
When I remove the text/callouts from over the images in question, then reimport, the problem resolves and the white borders disappear. When I view the original image files, there are no borders present. After I import, I view the image file in the RH folder and it does include the border. (So the border is on the image itself.)
Presently, the Object Properties for the images are as follows:
Offset From:
Top: 0.0"
Left: 0.0"
Border Width: 0.015 (which is lowest FM allows me to set... I get an error message when I try to enter 0.0)
Anchored Frame settings:
Anchoring Position: Below Current Line
Alignment: Left
Cropped/Floating: both unchecked
I've tried many different variations and tests; probably too many to list here. In short, the "border" appears when there is text/callouts on the image and it disappears when I delete the text/callouts. I was hoping that someone may have had a similar issue. Please let me know if you need more info to troubleshoot and thanks for reading.
Best,
Tom

I had the same problem with callouts, but my solution was to add them directly to the image, so that doesn't help you.
Another things you can try to is ensure that the edges of the image do not touch the edges of the anchored frame. Make sure there is a bit of white space. I don't know why, but when any of my images touch the anchored frame, the conversion looks awful.
Also, my images appeared best in Robohelp when I set the properties for the image in Robohelp as follows:
File > Project Settings
Import tab
Edit conversion settings for FrameMaker documents
On the left side, select Image
Set Width and Height to 0pt (this ensures that the image is not resized)

Why is my text not visible in text boxes?

I have a set of text boxes that I have used throughout my book as little sidebars providing tips to the reader. These text boxes lay out beautifully within iBook Author. When I preview on my iPad, the text within these boxes becomes invisible. The text is still there — if I double tap on the iPad to use the search function, the text can be selected and shows up in the search box, but is still invisible.
I am hoping this is some kind of user error on my part that can be easilly corrected. It appears to affect all two dozen tips I have inserted into the doccument. However, when I create a new text box it seems to function fine, even when following all the same steps to lay it out. You will see this in the green box in I stuck in example for the purposes of obtaining your help. (Please help! )
All the affected text boxes were cut and pasted from the original, so perhaps I set something wrong? It's odd that the preview does not match the iPad layout.
Here are some screenshots to make it more clear. First, the layout in iBooks Author:
Then a screenshot from the iPad after it has been previewed:
It may also be noteworthy that as the preview loads into the iPad, the text is visible, then vanishes as soon as the upload is complete. The small page previews on the ipad when 'zoomed out' to the overview also show the text, though when you go to the page it is still blank. Here is what the small page view looks like:

Did you confirm the text/box is 'to the front'...on the top of everything in that same location? Should work if so.
Yes.
Are they any other elements that are maybe hiding there?
No.
Did you try another font color or font?
Yes. Font, style and color (black, white, grey, green purple) do not appear to have any effect.
Are the boxes anchored graphics...
No, they are free floating but the problem persists if I anchor them.
and is the text in a box on top of the graphic?
No, the text is integrated. The box was made by creating a text box.
Even with different answers, this problem should not occur — if the text were hidden behind something, it should show that way within the program and the small preview, no?

Expand Text Box? "Advanced" text options not hidden?

The title text box/editor is very small in the 10.2 update. It's just big enough for 2 lines of text. I find it fairly inconvenient to have it so small (I am referring to the text box in the inspector). I'm guessing there is no way to expand this to fit more lines of text in, but if anyone knows how that'd be sweet! Otherwise I'm just crossing my fingers it gets a quick update since I'm using it every day for work.
Also, the "advanced" tab always being collapsed in the basic text editing tools is annoying, too. I use this every time I make a title(which I'm making two videos a day, so it's a little more tedious now after the update). Personally, for a professional program I would consider the options in the "advanced" section to actually be basic and fairly necessary...based on how I use it, so maybe I'm not a normal case.
Nothing is broken, just less convenient...
Thanks y'all!

That is a wonderful idea if I could find where to do that (maybe another feedback will be to make finding the feedback area easier (: ). Where can I find the feedback area? Thanks for the quick reply as well!

Can you no longer have a background color for the text box in the new version of hp photo creations

just updated to the new version of HP Photo Creations, used to be able to have a colored background for the text box - is that no longer possible in this new (not better) version????!!!!! Uuuuuuuuuugh

Hi Lainey.
Thanks for asking. We're working on bringing back that feature. In the meantime, here's another way to add text backgrounds: Add a placeable graphic and then click the Arrange button to send it to the back, behind the text.
That approach also gives you more interesting shapes. The new alignment guides make it a snap to align a graphic with a text box. In the example below (it may take a day for the image to show up here), I also used the new Premium Editing Features to change the color of the graphic.
P.S. — Applying a thick border to an empty text box (also using the Premium Editing Features) is another way to create a background shape. That has the advantage of letting you pick any color for the box. You'll also find several new text styles at the bottom of the new text menu.
