Trying to fill a shape or change text colour-it is always grey instead of the colour I picked?

I have been working on a file and whenever I have a couple of shapes and some text. When I try to change the fill of the shape or change the text colour it is always changing to grey. It will let me pick a colour, but the box at the bottom(foreground/background box) is always grey as well. Please help.

THANK YOU SO MUCH BARBARA! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my simple problem(eventhough at the time it was so frustrating). Thanks again. Leanne

Hello micojen1920
If you are having an issue with updating your iPhone, try it through a different method like in iTunes or through software update on your iPhone in settings. If that does not work then follow the steps in the article below to force a restore on your iPhone. Make sure to back up first and you can always restore from that back up once your iPhone is up to date. The second article will assist you with the back up and restore process.

Text Box issue - displays XML tag instead of the value in EBS

I need to use a textbox (or a autoshape with text) to place a data element in a specific position on the page in an RTF template. I tried using tables and it didn't help. This layout needs some elements to be placed at specific location and using an autoshape or a text box is easy. When I preview the pdf output on my desktop, it works fine. Once I upload the template into EBS XML Publisher, the value in the text box shows up as an XML Tag instead of the value in that tag. The same XML data when loaded and previewed locally shows the data instead of the tag.
Any thoughts on this? Is there a patch or something we might need for this in EBS?
Thanks,
Vinay

Thanks Tim for the quick response.
Yes - the versions are same. Also, I tried giving the complete path. The issue is that it is not even reading the text in the text box as an XML tag. It seems to think the whole text box is an object and hence just display that text as is. If it was reading and not able to resolve it, I guess it would have displayed blank (and not the tag as is). Again as I mentioned it works fine in local preview on my machine.

How can I change my mail preferences to ICloud mail instead of the default Mail. I have a IMAC

How do I change my preferences in mail to ICLOUD and not the default mail server. I do not remember my password to the default mail

I TRASHED Adobe Reader... where it belongs. Somehow, and sadly, Apple dropped the GET INFO from under the program name, where it had been before. Command I is now short hand for Command Inspector - i.e. no longer Command Info as was in previous versions of OS X.
So, under Command I, there is no selection to make Preview the Default PDF viewer. How 'bout that? Sad is what I say. I think Apple should be a little weary here, go on Offense, and have an OBVIOUS workout to make Preview, any/all of its programs, the Default program.

That is by design with the router. I don't think that is possible.

How do I change Middle Click to normal Middle Click instead of the Scroll on the Helix

Hi,
I just bought the Lenovo Helix with Windows 8.1 and I've been trying to disable this auto-scroll or touch-scroll function that comes on by default on UltraNav.
On my old X220 with Windows 7, I can just go to Mouse-> UltraNav -> Settings -> Neither on Scroll / Magnify Features.
It seems like there's no way to turn it off for the Helix. From this discussion,
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Carbon-X1-Use-middle-scroll-button-as-middle-c...
It sounds this option isn't available yet on Windows 8.
I've tried older driver: No option to disable this feature.
I've tried Synaptic driver: I can use middle click but the touchpad is ultra sensitive and I can't adjust it.
Has anyone found a solution for this? I use the middle click a lot for openning new windows and pasting on linux screens. It makes the computer usable unless I have a mouse.

On Windows 8, using the UltraNav software/driver from Lenovo, middle click always means "Scroll". There is no way to change this. Maybe you can find some driver directly from Synaptics (and not from Lenovo) that lets you configure the middle mouse button as something other than "Scroll", but this definitely cannot be done with the Lenovo software. I'm sorry I can't help you further.

With Photoshop 7 how can I get text in a layer that is in effect the colours of the layer behindd

Have tried several Google searches but not quite found what I think I'm looking for
My PS7 Bible is also a little lacking on an obvious explanation of what I'm trying to achieve
thanks
Richard

Do you mean something like this:
If you have white text and you set the blend mode to "Darken" or "Multiply" you will see whatever is behind the text. Black text with "Lighten" or "Screen" would give the effect. I added a stroke to the text so it would be visible.

I understand the difference between imessage and SMS but when I text a friend who always got iMessages in the past, everything I send her is SMS (green) even if we both have wifi. She has an iphone.

Changing text colour in Pages for ios...button missing

I'm trying to find a way to change text colour in a document, -all available information states that there is a button, with an i on it (info button) to adjust settings such as font colour, that button is mysteriously absent for me.
The toolbar would need to look like the screenshots in this article for me to follow the instructions to format text colour: http://www.topappreviews101.com/pages-ipad-app-5.html
My buttons look like the ones in the screenshot here: http://www.ipadou.com/nouveautes-des-applications-apple-apres-la-keynote
I do have various formatting option with the buttons I have on mine, but not any that will allow me to format the text colour i.e the instructions available to me tell me to press a nonexistent button.
am I going mad/has something recently change/is there anything I can do about it?!
Any help would be much appreciated.

I could not get your links to show me what you were looking for, but I just opened pages and figured out how to change font color. I am using the most current version of pages for its, so I don't know if this works on older versions.
If I screw the instructions up, simply open a document in pages, touch the wrench then help, and search for color. Then look in the style section.
Anyway. Highlight the text you want to be in a different color. Touch the paintbrush looking icon in the tool bar. The touch style. Then touch the name of the font. ( or change the font). A color setting will appear. Pick what you want.

Nor did the white corrosive agent present exist at the point of sale.
" exposure of copper alloys to moisture or salt spray will cause the formation of blue or green salts called verdigris. The presence of verdigris indicates active corrosion."

I am trying to fill in a PDF online- there should be a submit button but it isn't showing. My partner has an identical Mac and can see the button- what do I change in system preferences to resolve?

I am trying to fill in a PDF form online- there should be a submit button but it isn't showing. My partner has an identical Mac and can see the button when he opens the same page- what do I change in my systen system preferences to resolve this?

You and your partner might have different browsers, different versions of the same browser, or most likely a fervent version of the PDF plug-in.
See if just clicking on the Enter key sends the form in.

Newby question. Trying to fill a section but using fill and/or stroke only changes line colour

Hi,
Been trying to work this out for hours now so if anyone can help I will be forever thankful!
Basically, I traced an image earlier, expanded it then wanted to change the line colour. For some reason I couldn't get this to work even though I've done it in the past. So, I used the magic wand to select the line then dragged it into my new document and changed the line colour.
Now, I want to change the fill on certain sections, however when I change the stroke it changes the colour of the line and when I change the fill it changes the colour of the line.
I'm not sure if that makes sense or if anyone can help based on that but I can post pictures or something if that would help?
I also understand that the magic want thing might be where I've went wrong at the very start maybe?
Thanks for any help at all!

I don't know if that helps you understand at all?
For example I want to fill the inside of the square but when I'm hitting the fill and stroke buttons they're just changing the colour of the line.
I think I might just start from scratch again! Don't know where I've went wrong.

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.
