Unaligning background behind text

I put a background behind my headline text, but when i preview, the background jumps about 4 rows away from the text, whats going on
I had initially applied character style before dropping the coloured box behind.

You can do all of this in FCE -
• Place your jpeg photo (just the photo, no text) in your sequence.
• Place a text generator clip (Boris Title 3D, Lower Third, etc.) on the next higher video track, above the photo. (If your photo is on V2, put the text clip above it on V3 ...)
• You can then modify/adjust the picture and the text independently.
Note: you may need to add a track - just drag your clip into the grey area above the existing video tracks and a new track will be added; or Control-click in the grey area above the existing video tracks and then click Add Track.

Coloured background behind text area

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to make a coloured background behind the text area. For example, like the yellow title "Apple biometric earpods..." in the webpage; Apple biometric Earpods just a hoax, 'simply made up' for fun - Tech2
I have lots of titles in a document that I want to apply this style to so dont want to do it by drawing lots of boxes.
I have got a bit of a work around where you use an underline, and go into underline options and make it really wide and give it a negative offset so it is in the middle of the text but this is hard to control the gap so you have to add a space to the star and end of each sentence.
is there a better way?
thanks,

Nope, that's how it's done. Turn on the custom underline as part of the paragraph style.

Dynamic background behind text?

At the present time I am creating my bible texts externally using a pleasant background, and saving as a JPEG. I superimpose this over the video. This works very well, but I would like to use a moving background at times.
The problem with the JPEG superimpose method is when I resize the text in the canvas, the background is also resized.
This question is probably located somewhere in the documentation, but so far I have not found it.

Blue background behind text

Often when we print from a third party application the PDF comes out with a
dark blue background that is very hard to read.
Any fix for this?

I am the vendor and don't have a clue how to stop this or what could cause it; I am looking for suggestions please. Or someone to contact off line.

In Aperture, how do you put a background layer behind text?

How do you put a background layer behind the text to offset the color of the pic from the text color? Right now, some pics have whites and blacks that drown out the text, making it hard to read...

I forgot: if you rather want to add a background instead of changing the color of your text:
To add a background behind a texbox,
simply edit the layout (Click "Edit Layout", click "+") and add a Photo Box;
drag the PhotoBox behind your text field.
click "edit content" and add a picture to the background box.
You'll need to import a suitable background photo, or crop some suitable background from one of your images.

Anchored objects behind text

Is there a way to make an anchored box sit behind text? I have a section title with section numbers. I would like to place a piece of art behind all the section numbers. The box always comes out on top. I can create a new paragraph style with autonumbering for the section into it, place it over the art, group it, and then anchor it. The only problem is, now the section numbers won't show up in the running head. Any ideas? I'm using CS3. I used to be able to do this in FrameMaker. Thanks.

Can't be done with anchored objects - sorry.
But you can convert your text to a table - and that can put a background in there.
OR
Use Paragraph Rules to highlight a line of text or a pargraph of text

Selecting Graphics Behind Text

Hello,
I’m using Pages ’08 and working with a neat, layered, grouped graphic. There are three layers: a dark background graphic, a lighter middle graphic, and white text in a text box on top. All three use the exact same dimensions and are stacked one on top of the other for a total of three layers, grouped. None of the layers cause wrap.
I’d like to select one of the graphics to edit the color and find that I cannot do it without ungrouping the items, moving the text layer out of the way, applying the new color, putting the text layer back in place, and then regrouping everything. It seems like unnecessary steps. It seems as if I should be able to use a modifier key and do a series of clicks to activate the layer that I want, much like when I used QuarkXPress and InDesign. Is there a similar key stroke in Pages?
The user’s manual says “To select a floating object that’s behind text, place the pointer outside the text area, press the Command key, and then drag across the page until the object’s selection handles appear.” That doesn’t solve my concern, though.
I've attached a sample of what my graphic looks like. It would be great if there were key strokes to use. If not I'll have to go back to each instance of the graphic and make changes to each one.
Please let me know if you have an idea of how to make this work.
Thanks,
Scott

Pages does not have any modifier keys to click down through layers like other DTP software.
Unlocking and staggering the layers is the only way. There is an averaging command that does however let you centre them back on top of each other.

Trying to insert a picture behind text in Word 2011 for Mac

Can someone please help me? I am very fluent in Word 2010 for Windows, and this was a simple process. I was attempting to create a document in Word 2011 for Mac, like I've done many times on my pc. I wanted a picture in the background, with text on top of that. In the windows version, I would simply go to headers & footers, insert my picture, and set the word wrap to "behind text." When I closed the header/footer, I could put my text on top of the picture and by adjusting the text color and placement, I could create greeting cards, posters, flyers, whatever. Yesterday I tried to do the same with Word 2011 for Mac, and could not get rid of the white background behind my text. After attempting all the tricks I knew, I finally gave up. Can someone out there please point me in the right direction? (I tried to include a screen shot, but can't figure out how to use that little "insert image" button up there either. Sigh.)

Since yours is a question about a feature in MS Word for Mac, I would recommend reposting your question in Microsoft's Support site for Word for Mac. The experts there would be more conversant in that App.

Strange white boxes behind text. Help!

I am in the middle of working on a very important document. In one section, an autobiographical section, I added sidbars. The background of text box is grey. Everything looked great, including when I printed last. Today when I was working on the document, I noticed that the headings (in the text box sidebars) have white behind the text. I tried troubleshooting:
I thought maybe there was a font trouble? tried changing fonts.
I thought maybe it was text box fill problem? changed colors of font and text box fill... No go.
Please ignore the terrible black boxes. I chose to black-out any personal data. The problem is the strange white boxes behind the headings (in the sidebar). Any ideas?

bump! help requested please

Need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in...

Hi all im quite new to after effects and need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in. I also need to create a basic cross image. If anyone could suggest the best way to go about doing this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Thank you for both of your reponses and I will try and be clearer:
what I want to acheive is a HD motion graphic of text which will almost spin onto the screen letter my letter and then a become static word. Behind this I would like to place a moving image clip.
By 'basic cross image' what im looking to do is use a cruifix shape instead of a 't' on the text.
I hope this makes sense and thanks again!

Graphic Behind Text

This may be the most obvious question, but I need help
understanding how I can output a finished page design in Fireworks
and export it correctly for Dreamweaver import.I have text that
sits on artwork. Instead of having it output as just an image with
image maps, I want the background behind the text to be an image
file and I want the text to be in HTML text over it so I can edit
it in Dreamweaver. How do you do this? I've opened Dreamweaver
templates from other sources and I can't figure out how it is done.
I also need to create a drop-down list menu on a menu bar and I
want to have it sitting on top of an image.
Thanks!

Use the image as a background in your Dreamweaver. You can
then do what
you want.

Images Behind Text in RTF Template

While creating a few rtf templates, I noticed that if an image is to be shown behind text then the image will not render to back to .rtf by bi pub.
If I put the image inline with text, it renders just fine.
Am I missing a step that would allow me to render the image behind text or is it just working as intended?
Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1
Thank you.

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking. Filters are basically ignored by the tracker. Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker. Did you change the timing after doing the tracking? If so this would also require you to re-track the shot. Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.
Cheers!

Acrobat Pro 9 - URL link to open in browser in background (behind PDF)?

Hi! I've been searching for days now... does anyone know if it's possible using Acrobat Pro 9 to force a URL link to open in the background, behind a PDF in order to keep the reader at the PDF instead of instantly switching to their web browser?
This is used for a capabilities presentation, where we would like the view to continue reading the PDF but if they click links, the links will load in their browser where they can review them after finishing the PDF - instead of instantly being taken to the browser.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Go the the Applications -> Utilities folder. In there you will find the Disk Utility app. When you run that application, you can select your hard drive. Then click on the Fix Permssions button.
