Text box - I hit return and it exits rather than starts a new line or point

Ok so I'm a very basic user of indesign, and we are still on CS2, but can someone please help with this.   I start a new text box, and type - the wrapping works, but if I want to start a new line or do a bullet list , hitting the return key exits the text box, rather than starting a new line.  I cant find anywhere to alter the formatting.  Have tried resetting to basic paragraph format.

This is more common on laptops than I would have imagined. If you like having the numlock on, you'll probably want to remap the numpad enter.
Turn on numlock, then Edit > Keyboard shortcuts... Set the product areae at the top to Type Menu and scroll down to Insert Break Character: Paragraph return. Click in the new shortcut field and hit the numpad enter key, then change the context field from default to text. You'll have to save this as a new custom set and select it for use. Both enter keys should now work with numlock on or off to insert a paragraph break. You can creat a new shortcut for the column break if you like at the same time.

  • Text continues moving horizontally rather than starting a new line in editable text field

    I am trying to make a feed backbox for visitors on my website. I have made the editable text field and scroll bar and set all of my preferences, but when the typing reaches the border on the right of the text field it just continues to type further horizontaly. I can start a new line by pressing enter but I would like it to start a new line on its own when it reaches the boundary. Any help is appreciated.

    assign your textfield's wordWrap property to true.

    You are absolutely right.  Thought Enter meant Enter.  I was wrong.  Thank you for the help.

  • I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

    I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

    Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
    I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
    Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
    When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
    I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
    Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
    Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
    Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
    Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
    On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
    Good luck!

  • HT1657 Can I watch my rented movie for just 24 hours? What about the 30 days? The countdown on my library returned in days countdown rather than hours. Can anyone clarify me about this?

    Can I watch my rented movie for just 24 hours? What about the 30 days? The countdown on my library returned in days countdown rather than hours. Can anyone clarify me about this?

    Read the article you linked
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library."

  • Display returns latest data value rather than maximum data value.

    I have requested the Maximum value using the Statistics VI.  The display returns the latest value rather than the maximum.  I think it may have to do with specifying the sample size or data packet size but I don't know how to do that.

    You probably are only taking a single reading with the DAQ Assistant and the Statistics function expects an array to determine the max value in that array. There are a couple ways to do what you want. One way is to use the Array Min & Max Single Point function (Signal Processing>Point by Point>Other Functions). This has a sample length input and a reset input. Another way is to create an array with a shift register and use the Statistics function or just the Array Min & Max function. You could limit the size of the array with Array Subset for example.

  • I can't add a scene, I don't know why. I have finished making a scene and I'm trying to start a new one but the option to insert a scene is not highlighted so I cannot carry on :( please help

    I can't add a scene, I don't know why. I have finished making a scene and I'm trying to start a new one but the option to insert a scene is not highlighted so I cannot carry on please help

    you can't use scenes in html5 projects.
    that's also no significant limitation because there's never a situation (afaik) where you need to use scenes.  they are strictly a convenience for designers.
    i don't know any programmers that use scenes.

  • Blinking cursor in text box by hitting tab

    I have an input text on stage. Normally when we want to type
    something in the text box we have to click the mouse in the text
    box. If I want the blinking cursor to appear in text box by just
    hitting tab button on keyboard, could it be done ?
    How ?
    Need help

    Joel, I am not sure what you mean by starting a new thread. The new material I placed in a new text box on a new page is less than a page wide and does not fill the text box.
    I file > placed the text and it came from Word. I did not copy and paste it.
    I do use CS4.
    There are no character styles or paragraph styles applied to the text. This is something I will add as the pieces are placed.
    The button to which you refer is in the upper right hand corner of my computer and the text to which you referred -- no break is unchecked.
    This is not the first time I have had trouble with text disappearing. I usually manage to make an end run and correct the problem in Word and then place the text again. However, whatever method I use is time-consuming, tedious and frustrating.
    No matter where I use the enter key in that text frame, text below the enter disappears and the out port then shows a plus (even though the text box is NOT full). If I click on the plus and add the text to a different text box, I get the text that disappeared. But that is not the result I want. If I try to take the text from the out port and put it back into the text box, where it belongs then I get text linked to text--a mess.
    There must be a cure for this problem.

  • I just want to type on a plain piece of paper. I want to type several pages. I go to Pages and the blank paper has a text box around my type and only lets me type 400 words. How do I expand?

    I want to type several pages of text. I go to Pages and it puts a text box around my text and only allows 400 words. How do I get unlimited paper? Thanks in advance.

    On the introductory window, also make sure you pick from the top choices under Word Processing - I just use "Blank". If you choose the Blank under the sedon set (page layout), you will have to get a text box. I use that setting if I have a lot of images I want to insert and then have text around/near the images.
    See my screenshot here:
    When you're done with that page, it should automatically move to the next one or you can choose another blank page in the pulldown in the toolbar.

  • Picture Book theme - why has my book printed with text box outlines showing? and how do I change this for any future purchases? This did not occur with previous books.

    Why have borders appeared around the text boxes in the Picture Book theme and how do I change them for the future.  My latest book looks dreadful!

    Have you checked, if your book is really set to the "Photos" Theme? This looks like you may have used one of the "Travel" themes. These themes create borders around the text boxes. When you select a theme, the book title will say "Photos", even if the theme is a different one.
    For example, frames text boxes with the "travel" theme.
    Have you previewed your book, before printing it? Did the framed boxes already show in the preview?

  • Frequently, when I click on a link, try to return to the previous screen or close a tab, an option box comes up that requires a choice rather than simply doing whatever was originally requested. How can these option boxes be prevented?

    Frequently, when I click on a link, an option box will pop up asking whether to open in a new tab or new window and several other options, rather than simply opening in the same window or tab. When I try to return to the previous screen, it often will not let me, or provides options that I do not want. When I try to close a tab, an option box comes up that has several choices that I do not want and "close tab" at the bottom of the box. How to prevent these option boxes from popping up?

    Turn of JavaScript. These are "per site" and generated by the site. They are not the normal function of the browser. This usually occurs on attack sites. I'd stay away from them.
    The only "trusted" site I ever saw do something like this is Google, which asks me if I'm sure I want to close the tab that has their search results. I really pisses me off, but I have yet to find a way to stop it.
    It is certainly bad coding behavior on the part of whomever designed the site. When a user clicks an action, it should be presumed, unless the action is potentially very destructive, that they intended to perform that action. A UI should never incessantly second guess the intentions of a user.

  • User Exit during Sales Order Creation - New Line Item needed

    I have a situation during the process of sales order creation. If a Material in a line item has say 27 EA and the Base Unit is EA. But the Sales Unit is CSE. Then whenever the user enters 27 EA and presses enter he should get two line items.
    The first line item needs to convert to maximum number of CSE posible and the rest will be the second line item with the remaining EA. The order isn't important but that is what is needed. Question is how do I approach this problem and code my user exit accordingly and where do I code it.
    I was looking at SAPMV45A and saw the program MV45AIZZ which is meant as a user exit for any PAI event handling. If anybody has encountered this kind of requirement can you please share your view on this.
    I will definitely reward points for useful answers.

    Hello Mahendra
    The requirement is as follows :
    PART 1:
    Sales Order Enter: 
    1.     When a line item is entered on a sales order (VA01 or VA02), at enter, check the sales unit of measure (VBAP-VRKME).
    •     Do not check line items where item category (VBAP-PSTYV) = TANN, TAPS or ZTAP.  TANN are free goods that should not be considered for consolidation.  TAPS & ZTAP are lower level materials as a result of product selection.  They will be attached to a higher-level material with an item category of TAX, which is relevant for consolidation.
    •     Do not check items where VRKME <> EA
    2.     If VRKME = EA, go to MARM for MATNR.
    3.     Go to record where alternate unit of measure (MEINH) = CSE, get the value from the numerator field (UMREZ).
    4.     Divide the order quantity (VBEP-WMENG) by UMREZ.
    5.     If the result is greater than 1.0, the customer has ordered more than one case and a new line item needs to be added to the sales order for the case quantity.
    6.     Add a new line to VBAP for the same material with the case quantity.  If not a whole value, the remainder of eaches (bottles) should update the qty on the first item on VBAP.
    •     Part 1 is relevant for order types ZCA, ZOR, ZSO, RE, ZSM
    PART 2:
    Batch Job to run prior to the Delivery Due List:
    1.     Read VBUK for Delivery Status (LFSTK) = A (delivery not processed).  Get all of the document numbers (VBELN).
    2.     Go to VBEP for those document numbers to get the goods issue date for the order.  There will be many records in VBEP for the same sales order.  Look at all orders with a goods issue date (WADAT) of next day.
    3.     Go to VBAK for those document numbers to see if there are multiple sales orders for the same Sold To party (KUNNR).
    4.     For customers who have more than one order in VBAK, search all line items (for all orders).  If there are no duplicate materials across sales orders, do nothing.
    •     Do not check line items where item category (VBAP-PSTYV) = TANN, TAPS or ZTAP.  TANN are free goods that should not be considered for consolidation.  TAPS & ZTAP are lower level materials as a result of product selection.  They will be attached to a higher-level material with an item category of TAX, which is relevant for consolidation.
    •     Do not check line items where reason for rejection (VBAP-ABGRU) is not blank
    5.     If there are duplicate materials, go through the same logic as in part 1.  If the quantity across the sales orders adds up to greater than one case, add the appropriate quantity to a new line item on the first sales order.   If there is a remainder qty, update the line item on the first sales order with this qty. In this case, the quantities on the second sales order needs to be closed out with a reason for rejection code of 50, ‘Line Item Consolidation’. If there is no remainder,  update the qty on this item directly.
    •     Part 2 is relevant for order types ZOR, ZCA, ZSM
    •     This batch job will have to be run manually for Day Pick orders.  The end of this program should automatically kick off the delivery due list for Day Pick orders, shipping condition 02.
    Business Justification:
    The business requires that like order line items be consolidated to one line item prior to the order going to the warehouse for picking.  This will aid in picking at the warehouse as well as result in the customer invoice not reflecting more than one line item for the same material.  In the case where the customer has truly ordered more than a case, i.e;, 1 case, 2 bottles, the documents in SAP will still reflect 2 lines.
