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.

  • Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 book module?

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • Easy one I hope: How do I change text color?

    For the life of me I can't seem to find anything with a color pallette (except for background fill). I need to change text color but don't know where to find it.  Everything's always black. When I highlight the text, and goto "Font", I see something that looks like the "Select Text Color" (like the one above but as soon as you mouse over it, it turns to a crossed-out "ABC", and can't get the pallette.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Question: Are these fields that you had changed the type of in the Object Pallet/Field Tab/Type ? If so, try deleting the object and put a new one in its place from the Object Library.
    If no, what sort of parent do these items have? Table Row? or SubForm?
    Good luck!

  • Change Text Color Dynamically Depending on Which MP3 File is Playing

    Change Text Color Dynamically Depending on Which MP3 File is
    Playing
    Hi,
    Can anyone help with this problem.
    I am trying to change a text cast member's color dynamically
    based on which audio file is currently playing.
    I have 4 Text Cast member buttons named
    Play Song 1
    Play Song 2
    Play Song 3
    Play Song 4
    I am successfully playing the 4 songs in a queue like this
    (ie. If "Play Song 1" sprite text member is pressed then...
    sound(1).queue(member "Song1")
    sound(1).queue(member "Song2")
    sound(1).queue(member "Song3")
    sound(1).queue(member "Song4")
    sound(1).play
    What I would like to do is to have the currently playing song
    text color changed to a different value, say Green.
    So if "Song2" in the queue starts to play then the text "Play
    Song 2" would become Green. When done it would then turn back to
    black then "Song3" starts to play and "Play Song 3" text script
    button would then turn from black to Green an so on.
    These are the codes I've tried in the frame script and none
    seem to work...
    on enterFrame me
    if sound(1).status = 3 then member("Play Song 1").foreColor=5
    (This works but only for the first song because "Play Song 1"
    is directly named and clicked on.)
    else member("Play Song 1").foreColor=255
    end if
    I have tried to make a reference to the playing song and so
    far each of these doesn't work...
    --if sound(1).status = 3 then
    sprite(me.sound.member).foreColor=5
    --if sound(1).status = 3 then
    sprite(me.spriteNum).member.color=rgb(0,255,0)
    --if sound(1).status = 3 then member
    (sound(1).member).foreColor=5
    --text = member(whichMember).scriptText
    end
    Is there any way to reference the song name text cast
    member??
    I thought I had it when I discovered sound(1).member but
    sound(1).showProps returns the playing sound.member as
    member: (member 28 of castLib 1) nothing there I can use?
    It doesn't show the member name and
    It doesn't show the song name "Song1" which I could then
    match up to the "Play Song 1" text
    I'm pretty new to lingo so specific code examples would be
    appreciated.
    Can anyone help??? Thanks!!!

    did you get anywhere with this?
    When applying a styleClass to a af:showDetailItem, it doesnt seem to have any effect whatsoever.

  • Acrobat XI Pro Mac: Changing Text Color moves Text within Paragraph

    Dear Acrobat Experts!
    I've been using Acrobat Pro for over a decade now (Win and Mac) - but Acrobat XI Pro Mac shows some behavior I cannot deal with:
    When I'm changing text color of say a couple of words within a paragraph, usually the formatting changes and text is being moved/shifted. It looks like the text with altered color requires more space and consequently the following words are shifted which very often ruins the whole formatting. This makes Acrobat XI for me nearly unusable, I had never a behavior like this in former Acrobat versions (Win or Mac).
    I cannot believe that this is "normal" - so what's the mistake I'm making? For illustration please see the two screenshots I included.
    I'm looking forward to your helpful comments!
    Oliver

    Hi Sukrit!
    Thanks for your assistance.
    This is the first and only Acrobat version ever I had this problem with. I am running Acrobat Version 11.0.10 under Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite on a MacBook Pro 15" Retina display. I am working on Mac only since Acrobat Pro 7 - the versions before were Windows.
    So I cannot comment on Acrobat XI Pro Win.
    This is happening with all of my PDF docs - regardless of origin (textbook, scientific journal, or PDFs I generated by myself as export from office applications etc.).
    The only difference is the amount of changes to the formatting (shifting of text).
    To illustrate my workflow I generated a screencast and uploaded it here:
    <Dropbox - Acrobat_XI_Pro_Mac_3.mp4>
    Looking forward to hear from you again!

    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.

  • I am unable to change the color of text in an email I replay to or compose. I am on 31.6.0 release of Thunderbird.

    When I receive, reply or compose email. I no longer am able to see or change the color of text. I select to change the text from black to Red (or any other color) and the text just stays black, The color seletor box will show the last select color, but never actually changes the text color in an email. Also in received email, when the sender has indicated their replies to me are in another color, All the text only appears as black. I never had this problem in the past, not sure what has happened. I did restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled and this did not change the problem.

  • 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

  • How do i change the background color from black to blue on architectural drawing?

    I inverted the background color from white to black, and the black lines from black to white using the Invert tool under Adjustments.  But now I want to change the black color to blue to give it a more vintage "blueprint" look. I'm using CS4.

    There are often many ways to do things, and c.pfaffenbichler's suggestion above is good.
    However, as I'm very fond of Curves, I'd use Image - Adjust - Curves (or Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Curves) myself, and pull the black point of the blue curve up.

  • Selecting and changing color from black to white?

    I'm trying to change the colors in a graphic from black to white. I use the Magic Wand to make a selection, though it is only selecting the color of the specific shape I select, even after increasing the Tolerance to a high value to around 80. How can I make it select all of the black shapes all at once so I can change all of them?
    Thanks.

    In case of an image like that it may be more convenient to soimply load one channel by command-clicking it in the Channels Panel (if that channel has only pixels of 0% and 100% at least, if not the Mask derived from it may need tweeking with Curves or Levels).

  • How do I change a layer selection color from black to a color?

    Somehow I've turned off the color selection so that I don't have a color when I select a part of a drawing on a layer.
    The drawing area stays black whether I have selected it or not and I don't know how to turn back on the color.
    Could someone tell me how I can turn on the color again so that when I select a line it changes from black to red or magenta or whatever?
    Thanks for the help.

    You can also control what color is used by double clicking on the layer name and changing the colro for the layer option.
