Text sizing

I'm having a problem with text sizing in Pages for iPad. When I copy and paste the text from a range of cells in a table the text is displaying as large size even though the table is set to small. If I change the size of the text for the table to another size it doesn't affect the copied and pasted text. It always and only displays in large size. And if I click on the text and look at the size in table options>text size it SAYS that it's small. Help!

Welcome to the forum!
I would guess you want to do this for all the slides where you have subheadings:
1. Highlight the master slide for the bullet slides you'll be using. You'll see "Body Level One", "Body Level Two", etc.
2. Highlight the Body Level you want to change.
3. Under the Menu item FORMAT > FONT, "Show Fonts" (or simply press Command-T, which toggles fonts on and off), and set the font as you wish.

How can I disable auto text sizing in Keynote?

Hello all,
I have the latest Keynote 6 and the auto text sizing drives me nuts. I want all my text to be the same size on all slides without keynote adjusting it! Can I turn this off?

Acrobat Pro 9 TextBox Text Sizing problems

I have recently installed Pro9 in my computer, previously I had Ver 6.
Before Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I could insert a TextBox in any PDF file and format the text right on the spot (i.e. size, color, style).
Now with the new Pro 9, I can not edit the TextBox font. In order to change it I have to go another application and then do the changes there, then cut and paste into the PDF TextBox.
Is anyone else having this problem or is just my application? do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi ,
This seems to be an issue specific to the file you are using . Does it happen for any file with tables ?
If possible can you please share the file converting which you encountered such behavior . Please also mention your OS ,version of Acrobat and MSOffice version .
Thanks,

Text sized differently in WYSIWYG than in Preview or Compile

The text size in the WYSIWYG window is smaller than it should
be according to size attributes. The preview and compiled file is
normal.
The Zoom is set correct=100%.
The font size in WYSIWYG is correct.
Product version: Adobe Robohelp 7 HTML (latest).
System info: Windows XP SP2

It's a known transparency issue. Keep the text above the transparent objects might help, but probably won't.

What you see locally with Safari is what you'll see on line with Safari. Same with IE. What version of IE are you using? The old and unsupported Mac version. It's worthless as support for it was dropped over 5 years ago.
Go get a web site to display correctly in IE requires considerable changes. See the following links for tips by Roddy on making an iWeb site compatible with IE:

Text Size on MacBook Pro

I recently switched over from a Windows XP machine and bought a MacBook Pro 2.2 ghz. The screen is great and it's set at it's optimal resolution; however, text in the mail program and a few other programs are a strain on the eye. Is their some setting that I am unaware of to bump up text sizing other then lowering the resolution. I tried doing that last night and the text did become bigger but the quality of text wasn't as crisp as in the higher resolution.
In Windows there is an option to config text size separately from resolution (which I understand wll be in Leopard), is there someting closely similar in Tiger?
Also, I see in Safari you can always bump up teh viewing size of text but yopu need to do it each time you start up the program.
I would like to hear what everyone else is setting their notebooks at.
Thanks.

Learn to love "view options" and "preferences" and "options".
In every app on a mac and in the finder, there is somewhere that you can set your preferred font and font size.
Which sizes and which fonts are something that you should experiment with to see what suits you and your eyes.
I use small font sizes but that is what suits me; you need to choose your own. Play with the apps and look at what is available to you.
(the standard font sizes in windows apps were so large that they were crazy when I had to infrequently use a windows machine.)

Text tool not working in photoshop CC, all I can see are small boxes event with giant font

Hi there,
I am not sure what is going on here. I cannot get the Text to show up using the Text tool. All I can see are tiny boxes even made the font 60 points. SHould be huge. Been happening for more than a week and I ran an update via the cloud just last night. Did not fix it yet. Ideas?

I find Points are not the most predictable unit to use for text, and p[refer a linear size like inches or mm. Have a look at your image size. If it has a very high pixel size, together with a low dpi (72) then that would give you what you are seeing. If your image size is 4 inches by 8 inches, then regardless of what the dpi is, if you used inches instead of points for text sizing, then you would know to expect 2 inch text to be one quarter the hieght of your document.
Does that make sense?

Is there a way to change the keyboard increment of text size?

Im using Photoshop CS5. This being the 12th version of photoshop. I still cant find a reason why they have not put the adjustments for keyboard increments in text or leading like Indesign and Illustrator has. I mean, Photoshop engineers have concluded for themselves that all designers in the world increase or decrease typography in 2 pts??

Hi. I guess there will always be differences in text handling between apps like InDesign and Illustrator, which are fundermentally layout apps, and Photoshop that isn't. But I'd like to be clear about how you Photoshop set up? For instance, I prefer to set type size to mm in Photoshop and InDesign so I can better predict text sizing in a given document. For fine adjustment I do it by eye, so don't really care about what the units are.
If I have missunderstood your point (sorry about the non intended pun) please explain some more.
Incidentally, Nigel French has an excellent title on Lynda.com called 'Photoshop for Designers - Type Essentials'. It's probably the best source I know of for handling type in Photoshop.

Text size, better to use px or em?

For text sizing, is it better to use px or em? And what are
the advantages to one/both?

Moving text

On the site I am currently working all the text is stable on
my own monitor and some others. However on my partners monitor
there is as follows.
On the first page the subtitle should read
"A short introduction to the
Punjab Buddhist society"
On two lines as above. However it distorts and moves on my
partners.
Also at the bottom of the page there is a donation request in
blue text on one line.
On my partners the latter part of the text moves down a line.
On other monitors it is stable despite changes in
view/texsize and resolution.
Most of the page is done in tables. However one or two
elements such as
those mentioned I have used layers. Is this the problem.
Should I never use
layers.
this
is the site
Thanks
fishinabox

Yes - Absolutely positioned Layers will stay exactly where
you specified
them to be, while your other page elements like tables move
around in
response to users viewport changes and text sizing
preferences.
Either lose the layers and place their content within your
tables, or change
the layers to relatively positioned DIV's within your table.
Here is Murray's wonderful response to my question on this
topic:
<snip>
A div, like any other non-positioned page element, is placed
statically in
the normal flow of the page. That means that the browser
renders it on the
page as it encounters its code in parsing the page from
<body> to </body>.
As such, it is always positioned relative to its adjacent
content.
If, by "div", you mean an absolutely positioned <div>,
then you would need
to understand how positioning works first.
This may help you understand positioning a bit -
There are 4 different types of positioning:
Absolute
Relative
Fixed
Static
Here is a brief explanation of each kind of positioning (with
regard to
placement of elements on the page only)....
Position:absolute (or A/P elements)
This does several things -
1. It 'removes' the element from the flow of the code on
the page so that
it can no longer influence the size or position of any other
page element
(except for those contained within it, of course).
2. The absolutely positioned element takes its position from
the position of
its closest PARENT *positioned* element - in the
absence of any explicitly
positioned parent, this will default to the <body> tag,
which is always
positioned
at 0,0 in the browser viewport.
This means that it doesn't matter where in the HTML code the
layer's code
appears (between <body> and </body>), its
location on the screen will not
change (this assumes that you have not positioned the A/P
element within
a table or another A/P element, of course).
Furthermore, the space in
which
this element would have appeared were it not positioned
is not preserved
on the screen. In other words, absolutely positioned elements
don't take
up any space on the page. In fact, they FLOAT over the page.
Position:relative (or R/P elements)
In contrast to absolute positioning, a relatively positioned
page element is
*not* removed from the flow of the code on the page, so
it will use the
spot
where it would have appeared based on its position in
the code as its
zero point reference. If you then supply top, right,
bottom, or left
positions
to the style for this element, those values will be
used as offsets from
its
zero point.
This means that it DOES matter where in the code the
relatively positioned
element appears (, as it will be positioned in that location
(factoring in
the offsets) on the screen (this is true for any placement in
the code).
Furthermore, the space where this element would have
appeared is
preserved in the display, and can therefore affect the
placement of
succeeding elements. This means that the taller a relatively
positioned element is, the more space it forces on the page.
Position:static
As with relative position, static positions also "go with
the flow". An
element with a static position cannot have values for
offsets (top, right,
left, bottom) or if it has them, they will be ignored. Unless
explicitly
positioned, all div elements default to static positioning.
Position:fixed
A page element with this style will not scroll as the page
content scrolls.
Support for this in elements other than page backgrounds is
quirky
There are several other things you need to know:
1. ANY page element can be positioned - paragraphs, tables,
images, lists,
etc.
2. The <div> tag is a BLOCK level tag. This means that
if it is not
positioned or explicitly styled otherwise, a) it will always
begin on a new
line on the screen, and b) it will always force content to a
new line below
it, and c) it will always take up the entire width of its
container (i.e.,
width:100%).
3. The placement of A/P elements *can* affect the BEHAVIOR of
other
elements
on the page. For example, a 'layer' placed over a hyperlink
will mask that
hyperlink.
You can see a good example of the essential difference
between absolute and
relative positioning here -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layersdemo.asp
You can see a good demonstration of why using layers for a
page layout tool
is dangerous here -

Why do I have two CSS sheets? Should I merge them? How?

As I've been working on this site, I simply copied pages by 'saving as' to make the next page, since they are very similar and use the same text sizing (except for one which has become the 'black sheep.')
Now, after the fact, when the site is basically done, I see there are two CSS files associated with this site, I only made one to start with 'base.css'. Now there is also a file called 'base_sample_pgs.css' which I did not, knowingly, make.
I want to clean up the site and resolve type font sizing issues on one of the pages, and while I've heard of designers using separate CSS files for fonts, colors, etc., which is a great idea for very large sites, I'm thinking it would be best if I had only one CSS file for a small site like mine with only a dozen or so pages. I'm thinking two CSS files are the cause of some conflict already with font sizing on one of the pages.
What do you think? Should I merge the CSS into one file? Would it help diagnosing problems? If so, what is the best way to do this?
TIA,
Ken

OK, I'm looking at your capabilities.html page and there is a reference to only one CSS style sheet:
<link href="base.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Then you have some page-specific CSS that follows.
If what you are asking is whether or not you ought to pull the page-specific stuff into your base.css file, that only matters if you are using exactly the same styles in all pages. You can define different types of pages in 1 CSS style sheet, like a three-colum and a two-column layout and that works just fine. But you can also choose to have one stylesheet for the three-column pages and another for the two-column pages. Additionally, you may have a completely separate style sheet for just your menu (I have that on lots of my work).
The question for your question is, which is easier for you to manage?
In the case of many of my menu stylesheets, it is much more sensible to keep those style sheets separate from the main page. I think in terms of navigation when I am in them, I think in terms of general styles when I am in the other style sheets.
I have also seen some professionals use one style sheet to define text styles, another to define page layouts and a third to define menus. All that is completely dependent on thought process.
So this is "answering a question with a question," but what I am trying to do is get you to realize the answer in your own thought process.

Master Pages don't transfer when I change page size in a book

I had exactly the same problem in CS4, which is why I switched to CS5.5 -- but apparently nothing has changed.
I have a book of about 30 chapters. It was originally set up in 6x9 format, but after it was all formatted, my client decided he wanted the pages 5x8.
It should be easy, right? Just change the layout for the master pages of the Style Source document, fix the text sizing, etc. Then in each ensuing chapter, just download the new masters from the style source document. When I get a warning asking me if the master pages in the target document should be overwritten, I say yes and it does its thing.
Only it doesn't work. Oh, the text in the masters is all over the place, which is to be expected -- but the master pages and the book pages are still 6x9, not 5x8.
I tried synchronizing the book, being careful that Master Pages is checked in the options. I got a warning that some of the text would need to be fixed. No problem. Except that the pages in all the documents except the Style Source are still 6x9!!
I have a feeling I've wasted my money on the upgrade. A lot of bells and whistles have been added, but the CS4 problems aren't solved.
Please, can somebody help? I do this for a living, and I'm wasting waaaaaay too much time trying to clean up messes like these.

No, Peter, I never solved it. But thank you for asking!
I finally started a whole new book, with the smaller master pages. I saved a few blank pages for each chapter file, then I copied and pasted the text of each chapter onto the new pages. Fortunately I was able to transfer paragraph and character styles to the new document, and the formatting of the copied text transferred also.
But it was still a lot of work.
I don't even want to think about trying to design a document with different size pages!

I colored the spry menu, but it's not showing up in preview.

I changed the color of my spry menu from beige to black. It shows up on my work page, but when I try to preview it, it's as if I had never changed the color. I also tried going to the page through Firefox, but it's not showing up there either. The code says the background of the menu is #000, One the design panels it says the background color is #000 as well. Can someone tell me what I'm missing that is making the spry menu stay at the default color?

Not a good option unfortunately.
"allow multiple consecutive spaces" is an old option in DW which should be discontinued. It simply inserts multiple non-breaking spaces when you press the spacebar.
It's ugly, and unpredictable since it depends on font sizes, browser text sizing etc.
Better to use CSS

Is there a way to change the keyboard layout on locked screen iOS7?

I updated my ipad from ios6 to ios7. I noticed a really ridiculous thing after i updated my IPAD. The thing is after starting my device with ios7, i tried to enter my pass on the lock screen, but no way.
My old password consisted characters such as ¥ $# etc ... the keyboard layout is changed in ios7 and I couldn't see the "¥" sign anymore. I tried to restore it but I do need the lock pass.
Any ideas?

Question about using the Combo Box feature!

I have a form that I am trying to create for our company that will allow our field nurses to select what they need and print it more effieciently. The problem is that some of the selections are too long and I can't get the Combo box feature to allow them to be printed on multiple lines:
I have spoken to my supervisor about redoing the form to look like this:
But in order for us to meet state guidelines it has to be formated like the first because that is the state form given to us. I want to be able to either:
A) have the combo box multi-line auto text sized so it will get all the information into each box
OR
B) create text boxes at the end of the form that auto enteries the selected data from the second picture into boxes that look like the first picture.
Is there any way to do either of these?

A) No.
B) Yes. Create a text box with the following code as the custom calculation
script (assuming the name of the combo is "Combo Box1"):
event.value = this.getField("Combo Box1").value;
That way, when the user makes a selection in the combo-box, the value will
also appear in the text box. Just make sure to make the text box read-only
and set the combo-box to apply the selection immediately.
