Type tool does not work in Illustrator CC

I am using Illustrator CC under a subscription on windows 8. When I go to use the type tool it does not type. I will click on it, create a box or double click to have the horizontal blinking text line show up. When it shows up this time it is a dot and does not show type on screen. So for example I would be sitting here typing this message, but you would not be able to read it as it does not show up on screen.
Really want this fixed or want to know how to fix.
Thanks

What font are you trying to use and in what size?

  • For Acrobat 9. TouchUp Text tool does not work.

    Acrobat 9. TouchUp text tool does not work --- even on documents created with my computer using installed fonts. Problem 2: when trying to export to Word 2010 there is no option for format .dox, only .doc which belonged to earlier versions of Word.

    Hi Begin,
    I have the same issue, I am not sure which version so I had on my old computer but when I got a new windows 7 64bit, and asked IT to install Adobe, my life turned upside down. now they asked if I need X or 9pro and I though 9pro is the latest and greatest.. they installed the standard first then could not edit then asked for the pro and could not edit ... now I search and maybe version X will edit but if the document is signed and we do need to do lots of editing after the signature then what is the solution??
    I hope the Guru in Adobe can help here soon please :-)!!

    I would try resetting your preference file first:  http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14226-Resetting-(or-Trashing-)-the-Lightroom -Preferences-file
    Also, install the latest version 4.4.1 would probably be a good idea.

  • Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1)

    Hi,
    My Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1). This is what I have tried so far and the problem still exists.
    Check preferences for "Text": "Select text-object by path only" should be off. Checked. It was off. Didn't fix it.
    Check the toggle for Show/Hide Edges in the View menu. Cmd(Ctrl)-H. Checked. Edges Showing. Didn't fix it.
    Trashed my Prefeerences. Didn't fix it.
    Any other suggestions out there?
    Thank you!!!

    I figured it out! I feel pretty silly, but I will share this in hopes of helping the next person :/ Here goes. Don;t laugh to hard!
    It was the leading! The space between the two lines of text was less than half of the point size of the actual text. So it looked like two lines but there was actually 3.
    Geeze, I'm embarrassed! Thank you for suggesting that I may not need to recreate the entire document, but start with the text, input manually again (even on a new layer, to match the original), which lead to a fix!
    Thank you!!!

    I have a comment.  I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool.  I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face.  This tool does not work.  It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.  How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

    It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
    How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?
    Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
    The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.

  • CS3 Free Transform Tool does not work at all for distortion

    I tried everything, worked with vector objects of different configurations and rasterized objects. Nothing works. When I press Free Transform Tool and go to bounding box corner it become rotate or resize tool. When I click a little bit inside the bounding box and hold Command Key (I tried many keys and without keys) it just moves the whole object, it did not select just one point that I need. Envelope Mesh does not work for the same reason, but I do not need mesh tool. I have Illustrator 13.02, Mac OS 10.4.11
    The Free Transform Tool functions exactly as the main selection tool. Please help.

    I STILL cannot get this to work. I have tried everything suggested in this thread. I have followed the directions in the help menus explicitly. I have tried grouping, ungrouping. I have tried it on type, on type changed to outlines, on simple rectangles. Without success.
    When I try to use the free transform tool and hover over a corner of the bounding box, I get either a double-headed corner arrow, a rotation arrow, or a move arrow. Using the first two, dragging the point and then holding down the control/command key results only in a scaling of the object.
    Should I restart? Should I re-install? What should I do?
    Best,
    Fielden

  • The type tool is not working on new projects - although I can use it on an existing one?

    My type tool has stopped working on projects - although I can see the letters in the layer grid when I press save - they are just not showing up on the project itself.  Thank you for any help you can give me!

    Nope they are different colors - the cursor doesn't move!

  • Clone Stamp Tool does not work

    This is a re-post of an old problem. Using PS CS4 Extended v. 11.0.2 in Win XP SP3.
    The clone stamp tool does not alter my image. After selecting source region, cursor hovers over the target region and the preview looks like what one would expect. After clicking, however, the desired change does not occur.
    Uninstalled PS and reinstalled. Clone stamp worked for a while, then quit working again.
    Image seems to be OK, in that I can open it on my Laptop with CS3 on Win Vista, do my cloning, save and all works fine.
    Any ideas appreciated. I may uninstall and reinstall again, but if I do, would like some ideas of what I should monitor as I go through my work process.

    The second method worked. Many thanks.
    To avoid this happening again, would appreciate any idea on what to look for in my Preferences.
    Glad it fixed it.
    When the preferences get corrupted it is not due to a wrong setting. One of the files has been damagrd. This is a known problem with computers not just Photoshop.
    It can be caused by incorrect shut-downs, hard drive faults, or a dozen other reasons. Deleting the preferences just lets Photoshop generate a fresh set at factory default.
    Make sure you check through to get your personal settings back and then save a copy.

    Hi there
    Sorry, but you need to give us more information. For starters, you *ARE* using Adobe Captivate, right? And what exactly are you trying to do where you are seeing the eyedropper isn't working? Can you post a screen capture or a small video recording of it? You can use Jing http://www.jingproject.com or maybe Screenr http://www.screenr.com.

  • [SOLVED] OSCDIMG Tool Does Not Work on Windows 10? ReadFile() fails with error code 87. (The parameter is incorrect) on ReFS Storage Space Mirror

    Hello,
    What could be the reason of OSCDIMG premastering tool not working in Windows 10?
    I'm trying to rebuild ISO from the admin setup point and having problems with OSCDIMG failing to read files from the master folder:

    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Figured it myself.
    For some reason, the tool does NOT support source locations on ReFS formatted drives. Move the D:\ISOFOLDER location to NTFS formatted drive, and the tool works flawless:
    E:\Images>bin\oscdimg.exe -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"D:\ISOFOLDER\boot\etfsboot.com"#pEF,e,b"D:\ISOFOLDER\efi\Microsoft\boot\efisys.bin" -o -h -m -u2 -udfver102 -lwinsetup D:\ISOFOLDER D:\TEMP\test.iso

  • "Pick a Color" tool does not work

    Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite the "Pick a Color" tool for color fills/matches in Microsoft Word for Mac does not match the color picked. 

    Hi Jehanzeb,
    In chart expert there is a tab "Color Highlightsu201D. In this tab one can specify the condition based coloring.
    In my case I want to show "RED" color for Unauthorized events andu201D GREEN" color for Authorized Events.
    While creating a report suppose I am using a database server "DB-A".I set the color highlights in the chart as I explained. Please be noted that when we click on the color highlights tab it asks for the database login.
    To view the report we have our own server and we are using JRC APIs.
    Hence I map my report with server and try to view the Report. My Server is connected with database "DB-B" which is different from the database I used to create the report.
    This time color Highlight I have specified while creating the report does not work.
    I have tried using the "Format Series Riser" option. But the problem with this is that, it does not color the chart conditionally.
    I mean if I give GREEN for Authorized and RED for Unauthorized. It gives the green color either to Authorized or Unauthorized which so ever occur first in the chart.
    For example:-suppose there is no Authorized Event on date 15-Jan-2009 and I select the date range starting from 15-Jan.In this case Unauthorized event is the first to print on the chart hence this event get the green color though I expect this events to be in RED color.

  • Touchup Tool does not work with PDF

    I am creating my own pdfs and when I open in acrobat pro I cannot select my text using the touchup text tool. I can select the text when I am just using a cursor, but the touchup text tool cannot seem to find it. The pdfs I am creating are very simple, but they work for everything I need them to work for except the touchup tool. Is there some coding I have to put in to make the text editable?
