Unable to change font color from white

In any new or previously saved Pages documents, I am unable to view the font. I know the text is there, because when highlighted, the text shows as white, but I am unable to change it to any other color. This has never been a problem before. Ideas? Would this have something to do with not updating to iWork'09?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

    Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 Book Module?

    I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
    At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
    This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

  • Unable to change text color (from Black)

    For the next person who blunders into this and searches for an answer...
    If you have a Condition Code whose decoration is a custom color, and you delete the color, the text goes to Black, and you cannot change the color of text bearing that CC - with local color override, or a Character Format that applies a color (I didn't try Paragraph format).
    I am copying formatted content in from an older document that doesn't conform to current templates. I had deleted unused colors in the source, but not unused Condition Codes, one of which rode in with some text. What was controlled by the CC in the old doc is now controlled by a color Character format, except that when applied, the text stayed stubornly black (until I nuked the CC).

    Dear FrameMaker 7.1/Unix user,
    This does not surprise me. As long as the condition is applied and "Show Condition Formats" is active FrameMaker will show the Condition Color (now: Black) and not any underlying text colors.

  • Unable to change font color for Plain Text Emails

    I have a Win7 Enterprise x86 machine running Outlook 2010.  I am unable to read plain text emails.  When I go into Options->Mail->Stationary and Fonts, the preview box under "Composing and reading plain text messages" is all white. 
    I've tried changing it to automatic, black, random colors, different fonts and styles, click 'Ok' and nothing happens.  Preview pane and incoming plain text emails are white.  I followed all the steps in this TechNet article: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0e535f1f-0a2f-4208-9b05-42c4e943b484/outlook-2010-cannot-view-plain-text-emails?forum=officeitproprevious
    Applied the Fix It, repaired Office 2010, renamed the normalemail.dotm file.  Still nothing.
    Anyone run into this issue or have a fix?

    This could be a view issue. Please try to open Outlook using the /cleanviews
    switch to clean your views, and try again. Here is the line switches for Outlook 2010http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/command-line-switches-for-outlook-2010-HP010354956.aspx
    If /cleanviews doesn't work for you, you might try to recreate your Outlook profile. Please refer to this article:

  • How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its backround color from white to black just in my view not for all

    How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

  • How to change the page color from white to gray in Indesign?

    While working on a document, the white pages (not pasteboard) appears too much bright to eyes. Is there any way to change the pages color from white to medium gray at display level only i.e. that gray should not appear while printing the document pages?
    Thanks,

    You haven't told us what version of InDesign or what operating system.
    If you have InDesign CC, you can change the color of the panels (Preferences > Interface). If you turn on Match Pasteboard Color in the same preference, you can make the pasteboard darker.
    However, to change the color of the page, you need to change your monitor brightness. On a Mac, that would be System Preferences > Displays and drag the brightness slider to the left.

  • Using footage from my iPhone 4, how can I remove the black bars on the sides of my picture? Or change the color to white...

    My footage is vertical and there are two black bars on the side filling in the rest of the picture. I want to imbed this into PowerPoint without the black bars on the side. Any suggestions on how I can remove them or at least change the color to white? I changed the background color in View > Background > White, but it was only for editing purposes and didn't keep the color after rendering.

    To change the background to white, in FCE, place the video on track V2 and place a color matte generator on track V1.  The default color for the color matte is grey so you'll need to change it to white using the color picker.

  • JSP - Changing font color

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to change the font color on a jsp page with a condition.
    example: if qty1 > qty2
    change font color to red
    else
    font color black
    end if;
    Is there anywhere I can put a condition like this?
    Thanks,
    Mary

    Hi Mary,
    You have to create a format trigger for your condition. Then you can reference the format trigger inside your JSP report in the <rw:field> tag. From the Reports Builder Help, the syntax is:
    <rw:field id="field_id" src="object_name" [breakLevel="level"]
    [breakValue="break_value"] [nullValue="null_value"] [containsHtml="HTML_value"]
    [formatMask="format_mask"] [formatTrigger="format_trigger"] [urlEncode="encode_value"] >
    [tag body]
    </rw:field>
    You need to populate the formatTrigger attribute. Pl see Reports Builder Help for more information.

  • Changing Font Colors on Master Slides

    I really like Keynote compared to Powerpoint, but I am having a problem making one change to the master theme slides. I am able to change the look, font, etc. on the master slides of a theme, but I cannot figure out how to change the font color in the master slides. Which means that when I am using Portfolio, for instance, which I like, I have to change each slide's font color from gray to black, which is easier to read. I would rather do that on the master slides, but have been unsuccessful thus far.
    Any help would be appreciated. it doesn't make sense that you could revise the masters in just about any way EXCEPT font color. So I must be missing something.

    You change the font color on the master slide, the same way you change it on any other slide. Click view, then Show Master Slides, then select the slide and change it the way you do a regular slide.

  • TS3999 When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple.  Help!

    When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple.  Help!

    File>New Calendar to create a new calendar (Groups are for grouping calendars and I should ignore them). When you've created the calendar, control-click on it in the sidebar and choose 'Get Info' There you can select a colour. You can have as many calendars as you like. When you create a new event you can select the calendar it belongs to, and hence the colour it has.

  • Create PDF from webpage font color turns white

    While using Create PDF from a web page the text in the final PDF is colored white so I cannot see it.  Italicized text remains black and is find.  However, the font color of standard text is turned white.  I know the text is there because I can use the text editing tool to copy the text out into notepad.  This problem occurs with Adobe Acrobat X and XI.  However, when I use Adobe Acrobat VIII there is not problem.  Furthermore, with the website I am converting to PDF the problem only happens if I try to convert the entire site, which is about 1,100 pages.  If I stop the job half way, the font color remains fine.
    Any ideas?

    Under the Settings... button in the Create PDF from web page dialog, do you have the checkbox selected for "Force These Settings for All Pages"?

  • Urgent HELP! how to resize a layout and change the color from black to white

    Hey!!!
    im in urgent help of someone to answer my questions. I have a huge Indesign exam monday and two of the questions are   
    -resizing a layout
    -changing a color layout to black and white
    I have done many porjects in Indesign but to be honest i don't know what they are refering but resizing a layout or changing the layout color to black and white. If any body can explain me this a little be I be so thankful!
    Thanks,
    Fiama Piccardo

    I've decided to relent a little and give you a hint, so you can do some looking and figure this out for yourself. Everything you need for either of those tasks is accessed from the File menu...
    And a further hint. Indesign does not have a black and white or grayscale working colorspace, so you never truly have a black and white layout, though all of the objects in the file may use only black ink. You can, however, output a PDF, in a couple of ways, that will convert your color file to one that uses only black.

  • Change font color in reports depending on condition

    I have an application that generates a number of new records at
    the click of a button, which the user can then modify through
    several report-form links. My users have requested that the data
    appear in one color in the reports if they have not yet updated
    the records, and that they change color, permanently, when
    updated. I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I do well with
    PLSQL, but I think this is probably a Javascript issue(?) - or
    is it possible to specify font color of a report when you call a
    URL?
    Any ideas anyone?

    Thank you, both Michaels. I was excited. I was sure this would
    work, so I added the updated_by fields to all my reports (they
    should be useful anyway). I worked on a couple of other issues
    related to this, and returnred this morning to add the HTML font
    tags to my report queries. I CAN'T MAKE IT WORK! I've attached
    my code, and error message. Any thoughts on what I'm doing
    wrong? Thanks.
    (Note: The query works fine without the HTML tags.)
    My code:
    select '<font color=red>'||activity.act_text||'</font>' act_text,
    from Activity, survey, temp
    where activity.survey_id = survey.survey_id and
    survey.survey_id = temp.survey
    Error message:
