Transparent Black text box? HOW???

Normally i am pretty good at figuring out these things but
this has been driving me crazy.
I was viewing a website a while back that had listed
emergency information with white text within a transparent black
box that allowed you to see through the box itself to the webpage
below while still reading the text. How is this done? I have
fireworks 8.

Found it!

Master's w/black text box and foreign language

How do I edit the text box in a master, its black, i want something like a grey background. Why is the default text a foreign language... Is there a way to change the border or page colors. Its currently white, can I do something like grey

Are you trying to create a photobook?
The backgrounds of the text fields are defined by the theme. You have to find a theme with a color you like. You can only switch between the default color and transparent. If I want a different background I add a picture with constant color and add a textfield with transparent background on top.
The foreign language is a kind of latin. It is this way to help you to easily recognize that you need to enter your own text instead of the default text.
What you can change in a theme, widely depends on the theme you selected. To modify the elements, click "Edit Layout".
Then click the "fan"-button to select a background.
If you want more control over the themes, you need to manually edit the theme files in the Library.

Irregularly shaped text boxes; How?

I want to insert text on an image, using a text box is the ideal way to ensure the text wraps nicely, etc. However I do not want the text to be in a standard rectangular or square text box but one of my own irregular shape.
Anybody know how to do this, and where I could get some pointers?
Thanks in advance for your help, very much appreciated.

Depends on which version of Photoshop you're using.
Text inside a Photoshop vector path was introduced with PS CS2, IIRC.
I haven't done this much, so I did some experimenting, and I dove into the Help Files for PS CS2.
First of all, if the Help Files have a section on this, I couldn't find it. That's not good, especially for new users who might not know where else to look for advanced instruction online.
But, my experimentation showed me that you can make an irregularly shaped paragraph text box with the Custom Shape tools. You may then manually edit the anchor points to alter the shape's path to whatever you desire. Then, with your Type Tool selected, hover on the inside of the shape you created and you'll see the "I-Bar" Text cursor change, so that it looks like it's flanked by dotted parentheses characters (We'll call that the "Text-In-A-Shape" ["TIAS"]cursor). This cursor tells you that you can click to initiate text inside of the shape, and it will be bounded to stay inside of that shape, just as it would be if you simply dragged out a rectangular paragraph text box.
Further, something I found lacking was that you can NOT simply use the Pen Tool to create your irregular shape. If you do that, you won't be able to make the "TIAS" cursor appear. You
must
ucreate the shape starting with the Custom Shapes tools.
If this limitation has been lifted in PS CS 3, I wouldn't know. If that's the version you have, you'll have to discover that on your own.
Once you've entered your text in this shape, you may adjust the Character and Paragraph parameters just like you would with any other text.

Black text boxes on new MBP

http://www.acans.org/images/blacktextboxes.jpg
That happens to every program, including Apple registration and Microsoft registration.
Ideas?

It's not the AV.
I installed Microsoft office 2011 first, but it had the black boxes. I then installed Adobe Acrobat, it had the black boxes too. I install the AV last, and just used it for the example.

There is a text box on the screen. How do I get rid of it?

I have a black text box on my screen. How do I get rid of it?

I'm not quite sure what it is you're seeing, but if it's a Terminal window (click on the window and see if you see the "Terminal" menu at the very top left of the screen) you can close it just like any other application - go to the Terminal menu and click "Quit Terminal".
If that's not it, it's possible you're seeing a Voiceover border - go to System Preferences, Universal Access, click Voiceover and turn it off if it's on.

How do i move the curser in the text box? i cant move it further than the last letter shown in the text box.

when trying to change a search query in the text box how do i move the curser to the end of the query that is off screen.
androids default browser comes up with a little blue arrow that i can drag.
i should ssy this is only a problem when entering text in google search box for example and not in firefox search/address bar.

We don't have a good way to do that yet. We just landed a thumb cursor on our nightly build. Which if all the tests pass it would show up on the Sept 14th [http://nightly.mozilla.org nightly].

Where has the black background box behind attachments come from?

Suddenly I have a black box behind any attachments. It is like a text box. It has not been there before!
If I choose to print to a pdf attachment in an eMail the attachment id superimposed on a black text box with an 'X' in the corner, click the 'x' the lot disappears. But if you turn the attachment into an icon and highlight it then erase it, left behind is a black text box into which any new typed message appears.
How do I get rid of this, any suggestions well received.
Thanks,
David

I get this when sending invoices from Market Circle's Billings.
One workaround I have found that works is once the file and a new message is open in mail, create a new message then drag and drop the attachment over then create your message in the new mail.
I agree though - need a permanent fix soon.

White Text Box

ok, I'm stumped, I want to make a white text box instead of a black text box, and use various colors for the text. Could someone please shed light on how to accomplish what seems like a very simple task??!! I see nothing in the manual or in the search of the FCP PDF help.
Thank you

It fairly simple, but you'll need to video tracks. Place a color matte on track one (V1) and make it the color you want. For white, use something no higher than 220-220-220 (255-255-255 may create contrast problems with your text). Next, use the Boris Title 3D plugin that came bundled with FCP and place the Title 3D clip on V2 so it lines up right above the color matte.
Create the text in the Title 3D composition panel as needed.

Pages 5.1 Text box problems

In Pages 5.1 when I paste a graphic in a text box (e.g., a PNG file), it no longer stays in the text box. This was a great feature in Pages '09, the ability to paste a graphic into the text box, add figure legend text, and a line around the whole thing and have it remain as one unit.

If you still have Pages v4.n located in /Applications/iWork after the v5+ upgrade, I would recommend you revert to an old friend.
In v5, you insert the Text Box, then from the Format > Style > Fill, you choose Image Fill, Scale to Fit (or Fill), and then Choose.. to pick your image from disk. The Toolbar media choice will just plop an image over the top of your Text Box. Dragging and dropping an image over the Text Box places the image behind the Text Box. This can lead to an interesting crop effect.
If your image choice will be too dark to see the original black Text Box "Text" placeholder, then you may want to initially choose a lighter font before paragraph 2 above. Othewise, a double-click after the image fill will provide edit focus in the Text Box. A downside is that changing the opacity will effect the image and the text.
