Text is broken by each letter

When I open a file from a client, some of the text has been broken into individual letters (not complete words). Since we have over 100 files to update, this causes problems because some of the letters are now crashing into each other. I need to find a way to 'rejoin' the individual letters back into words.
I have found that I can copy all the letters at once and then paste them into a new text object. When I do this, all the characters come back together as words. Unfortunately, this is a slow process of copy/paste/delete.
I am looking for a simple trick to select the individual letters and 'join' them into words.
Any suggestions?

You Have CS 2 or CS 3 correct? if so then you might search the forum for a script that joins the letters it is a free one. Perhaps it was written by James Talmage or Gary Newman I do not recall but there is a script.
Otherwise you use the little work around I had discovered by drawing a text frame of the same size as the original selecting all the text with a selection tool cutting r copying and pasting that text into the new frame. If you want it as point type simple click to make an insertion point and paste.

  • Text put into a canvas element with context.fillText() always has a black box where each letter goes. If the text is black you just see the black rectangle. If the text is not black you see it on the black bounding box. Surely this is not right.

    This has happened on the last few versions of firefox, as long as canvas has been supported. I see other people's screen shots from canvas tutorials, and the text always looks normal. On my system, any text put into a canvas element via context.fillText() will have a black bounding box for each letter, sized appropriately for the letter. If the text is black, of course you only see rectangles. If the text is a contrasting color, then you can read it, but it looks bizarre.

    Thomas...same kind of crap here.
    I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
    Set to 72 pt.
    The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
    There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
    Using Transform will not sort it!

  • Laserjet CP2025 When printing colored text I get a shadow/halo around each letter

    I am able to print black text perfectly but when I try to print any colored text there is a shadow/halo around each letter that makes it difficult to read. I tried turning off the Edge control in the printing properties section but the problem stayed the same. Any ideas on what my problem might be? Thank you.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    We need more detail. What program are you printing with? Do you get the same color effect no matter what program you are using? The program you use when you get color halos have you used that program before and did not get halos?
    Have you tried a different program an still get halos? If so, have you tried reinstalling you printer software package?
    Do the halos appear to be intentional or do they appear to be a quality print problem? If it looks like a quality ink issue, have you removed the color toners and slowly tilted them side to side to mix the toner? If you do that and get good print results, its time to get new or refurbished color toners (or refill them). 
    If the halos appear to be intentional, you probably have a software problem, anything from a degraded driver to settings in the printer manufacturer's software, to Windows. If the problem seems to be software related, you may want to try my "keep it simple stupid" and not try to find out precisely where the problem is but simple do some broad but quick actions.
    First, I would run your registry repair and registry clean utility(ies). I would do a hard drive defrag & then a registry defrag.
    If none of this ends the problem, I'd uninstall and reinstall the entire software package that came with your printer. Before I did that, I think I'd reinstall the program that is printing halos in color mode.

  • I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

    I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

    What I recommend you try doing first is to turn iMessage off then back on.  If that doesn't work, make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct.  If everything seems correct and you still can't send out messages using iMessage instead of text message, I think you should either try calling AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and/or scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store (that is, if there's one close to you).
    Hope this helps!

  • My ipod doesn't appear with the letters that split up each letter songs, how do i fix it??

    so you know how when you go to music and tap songs. well mine does that but what does not appear on the screen is those letters that divide each letter group of the alphabet. you know it has all the songs starting with the letter a in one place divided by a border letter "A" etc. please help i think its a settings problem not sure, thanks.

    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
              File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • How do I insert a space between each letter? i.e. ABC becomes A B C

    I have a long strand of characters that I would like to insert spaces between and doing it manually is not practical. Can anyone suggest a shortcut or a way to save me a day of sitting and hitting right arrow space bar??

    I need to turn everything into a graph where each Letter, Number and Character is in its own column.
    In this context, set up Tabulators where each and every one is defined as centered. This way, the variable set widths of the sorts (letters, glyphs) will align vertically.
    Note that if you are working with Apple Advanced Typography or Microsoft OpenType font files, your font file may have a special subset of monospaced figure (number) sorts termed Tabular.
    The monospaced figure (number) sorts may either stand on the baseline to align with UPPER CASE or have strokes ascending above and descending below the baseline to align with lower case.
    Your font file may also have other special subsets of figure (number) sorts that are proportionately spaced. You should play with these subsets to see which figures will work well for you.
    In typography (as in photography and lithography) what looks right is rights. Intelligent fonts for composition and intelligent profiles for separation are there to help you with the visuals.

  • Why am I getting vertical lines below each letter I type?

    I keep getting vertical lines below each letter that I type when filling in things with Firefox 4. There is one line created for each letter.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Hi,
    First in your window goto the text elements. There choose goto->change editor. Now you will be getting a line editor. Here you have to specify protect endprotect and write your code within it.

  • Text is broken when scanning UP the page; but good scanning down the page; why?

    Text is broken when scanning UP the page; but okay scanning down the page. The text looks like a shot gun has been fired through it. It used to be good both ways until the last update. This is not a problem in any other program including Internet Explorer. I have an image to show you but there is no link here to attach.
    After clicking Allow I got ..........The add-on could not be downloaded because of a fault at the support site.

    Try to create a new Boolean pref on the about:config page via the right-click context menu with the name layout.paint_rects_separately and set the value to true and leave hardware acceleration enabled.

  • Help! It's like Pages is haunted! It's erasing each letter one by one automatically and I can't stop it! Virus? It also won't quit?

    Help! Please!
    Is this some sort of weird virus? Did my mouse just go crazy on its own! I click on any document and it speedily reases each letter one by one all on its own, and I can't make it stop. What is going on here! Has anyone ever heard of this? It also won't quit, I hover over the icon on my dock and it just has no response, so I need to force quit...

    As long as it was something as subtle as a book on top of your keyboard.

  • How to insert page breaks, I would like certain rows to print on a new page  I am making a childrens dictionary and would like to to automactically print each letter on a new page.  is this possible?

    How do I insert a page break on certain rows in a Numbers spreadsheet.
    I am making and always updating a childrens dictonary and would like to be able to hit print and have each letter start on a new page.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

    AM,
    Set your view to "Print View" and you will see the individual pages. More pages will be added as you drag content away from the existing pages.
    Arrange your content as you would like to see it printed. That's it. What you see is what will print.

    in your function startChat(), you say
      if (this.netConnection)
                ExternalInterface.call("flashtxtChat_gotNearID", this.netConnection.nearID);
    if the netConnection is in the process of connecting and startChat() gets called again, then the netConnection will not be null but will also not be connected.  you can only get the nearID if the netConnection is connected.
