Undoing a mask around several text boxes.

How do I undo the mask around several text boxes so that I can go into those boxes to make revisions?  The mask is making entry into the text boxes impenetrable. 

Select the masked object & click edit mask then press the delete key.

  • Creating a frame around a text box?

    I'm new to Illustrator (I'm running CS4 on a Mac) and I'm creating what is essentially an organization chart. (It's actually something more of a decision tree, but that's not important.)
    I've searched some other forums and I discovered the Area Type Options. I'm using that to create 6 pixels of inset spacing between my text and the outside of the text box. Now, I'd like to have a 1 or 2 point frame drawn automatically around the text box. One place told me to go to Object > Text Frame. However, when I highlight the text box and go to Object there is not Text Frame option (either available or grayed out).
    It doesn't seem that I should have to manually go through the work of drawing a rectangle around every text frame.
    Can someone point me in the right direction to have Illustrator make the blue (electronic) frame into a real visible one?
    Thank you in advance,
    Bflat Blues

    Thank you so much. That did the trick.
    However, I'm surprised how arcane this simple technique seems to be. I wanted to draw a straightforward org chart and Illustrator didn't appear to make it straightforward at all.
    It's probably me. From what I can see, a new Illustrator user trying to use it for something this simple is like using dynamite to kill a fly.
    I just need to play with it more as I'm working through exercises.
    Once again, thank you.

  • I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am having some problems.  This sounds really dumb, but I can't figure out how to put a border around a text box.  Also, how do you edit the border, i.e. border color, thickness, etc. Help!

    I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am running into some real problems.  How do you put a border around a text box?  Can you edit the border - color, thickness, etc.?  Help!

    I think the best solution is to read Pages documentation, go to Help and you have a long list of options. Pages is capable of quite sophisticated things, some features are above Nisus or Mellel, so it is not so simple to summarize things in a few lines.

  • How to put a border around locked text boxes?

    I have a number of locked text boxes. I need to place a border (a box) around them. How do I do that?

    Govan,
    1. It's helpful to give a full and complete description of your problem when first posting in order to get a complete answer and avoid follow up posts.
    2. There's no need post the same answer twice.
    My answer: The stroke/line around a text box is all or nothing. If you want to eliminate the line between adjacent text boxes you'll have to draw a white line over the offending line to cover it up. Once this is done, select both text boxes and the line (using shift-click or command-click) open the Arrange menu and choose Group (or press Option-Command-G). This will keep the white line in place if the text boxes move.
    Good luck,
    Terry

  • How do you put rules around a text box ina pages layout template? The inspector tab seems to allow rules on top, bottom or both, but not on all four sides.

    How do you two format facing pages to appear as a single page for a photo spread?

    It seems you have one question in the title and another in the post.
    1. Select the text box. In the Inspector palettes Graphic tab choose Stroke. You can chose Line or Frame.
    2. See this discussion Double Page Spread?

  • Black lined 'ghost box' is suddenly around every text box, functions, etc.

    I have OS 10.4.11. I had Safari/Firefox open. I was on Ebay, I copied a link to forward.  I opened Entourage to send the link via Email, suddenly I had a black lined box around all functions, etc. and under the Apple Menu, shutdown, restart and logout are double listed.  HELP!  Something is weird, it even seemed to change the font look.
    Somehow my system seems to think there's a second system open simultaneously?
    Computer is also working slower and is acting very oddly.  Have never had issues before like this and I have had Macs for nearly 20 years.
    Thanks!

    That did it.  Thank you very, very much - I appreciate your expertise in helping me!  Would you happen to have any idea how that may have been turned on?  I did not access that program at all - I was just going between Safari, Firefox and my E-mail client and voila - the box was on. . .
    Just curious so I don't make the same mistake again. . .

  • Problems with text box borders, tabbing and saving doc in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0

    When I view my form document in Acrobat Reader, there is a red border around several text boxes
    in which I've selected 'NO border'
    Also, I've selected 'column order' for tabbing, but tabs continue to function in order in which I inserted form item (text box, check box or radial button). Since I didn't insert these consecutively, tabs no jump all around the form instead of proceeding in order from top to bottm and left to right.
    I've checked for Mac Acrobat Pro updates and see that there are three  - 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4, and am downloading them for install.
    Do any of the updates fix these problems? Or how can it be fixed?
    On opening document in Reader, I also get a message informing that document cannot be saved with changes and must be printed, even though I've created it with fillable forms.
    Is there some setting for allowing document to be saved?
    I want to be able to have recipient be able to download form, fill it out, save changes, attach to email and return it to me.

    This has been a problem since version 8 on the mac. Acrobat 7 on the mac worked fine with the right side trim but not on the PC.
    We are still having this problem with Acrobat 9.4.0 on the Mac & PC.
    This has now been an issue for 2 versions of Acrobat Pro.(8 & 9)
    Being in Pre Press and having to constantly set the trim for jobs, this is now taking up too much time and costing money.
    Please fix this Adobe.
    and on another note. how hard would it be to display the trim (if set) next to where the page size is?
    If the trim is set it should display it! why should we have to go to document/crop pages>trim.
    Im in a busy Pre Press Dept and the amount of times you have to check a trim size is stupid.
    I always set prefs to display crop / trim / and bleed boxes and this helps but it should display it if its set.
    Thanks
    Hope this is resolved soon.

  • How do I get rid of various lines around text boxes when using navigation panes

    How can I get rid of these various lines that are displaying sporatically around different text boxes . . . but only when the navigation panel is displaying?  I previously had the issue and changed the text box properties to no fill.  It fixed the problem in the document with no navigation panel, but once the navigation panel is displayed the lines appear.  And yes, I fixed the text box properties before creating the bookmarks for the navigation panel.

    Every device, browser and browser version has its idiosyncrasies.
    Just using a stroke and a drop shadow should not have been enough to require Muse to convert the page fill to an image. Were/are there also other effects on the page? Are the page corners slightly rounded?
    Bevel and Inner Glow definitely require an image to be created. Most other effects/properties do not.

  • Multiple text boxes in captivate 5

    I have several text boxes in a powerpoint slide in captivate 5. I would like for users to be able to fill in these text boxes in any order. I was able to do this in version 4, but in version 5, it only allows users to respond in the order of the text boxes. Is there anyway to correct this?
    Thanks!

    Thanks Rod.  Great suggestion.  I actually picked up the widget on Thursday as the 'drag and drop' interaction was something I initially saw as the ideal route.
    Its such a good tool and very simple to use.  There are one or two little additions I would like to see.  Unless you can already do this and I haven't quite figured it out.
    - The ability to place a drag item on alternative targets
    - allow the drag items to be visable after been placed onto target.
    Can this already be done??
    I would certainly recommend the widget though. Its excellent.
    I'm just getting around to trying some of the initial suggestions and will report back.
    Thanks

  • Quiz Variable Not Tracking Text Box Responses

    Hello Everyone,
         I am having a problem getting the Captivate Quiz variable to track correct responses from a text box. I am using Captivate 5 and trying to make a quiz where someone will enter in data that will be validated and branch off of their responses. I have set up several text boxes, turned on validating, checked the "Include in Quiz" box and the add to total and report answers boxes. See the pic below:
    I am trying to branch using an advanced action that checks the cpQuizInfoPointsscored variable and branches them based off their score. But the variable always shows 0! (I set up a text caption to display the variable as I went through to check.) Here is the weird part, I have the quiz results slide in the presentation, and IT accurately shows the results from the test boxes. But for some reason the Quiz Variable isn't tracking them! Any help??

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    From your question I know that you are using CP5.0, correct? This 'bug' has been fixed in Captivate 5.5. Was one of the users who had insisted (by bug report) to have all Quizzing System variables updated after each question, and not only when the quiz was done, on the score slide; now you are bumping into this issue: the score in cpQuizInfoPointsscored will be tracked and will have the scores attached to the Text Entry Boxes or for any other scoreable object (all show up in the Advanced Interaction view - F9) but only at the score slide.
    I had a workaround in CP5 (have described it somewhere in an article or a blog post), using the Quizzing variable that IS updated after each question: cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored.
    If you want to have the functionality of CP5.5 you'll have to track the total score in a user variable by advanced actions. It is not really that hard, since you are already using advanced actions, step-by-step
    create a user variable v_currentscore
    on entering each question slide have this statement executed (if you do not have already an advanced action for this Enter event, and this is the only statement, better add Continue as second statement)
    Expression v_currentscore = v_currentscore + cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored
    now you can use this user variable for your check instead of cpQuizInfoPointsscored, you understand that it is only updated on the slide after the slide where the question is answered? Let me know if this is a problem

  • How do I make a text box solid if the value in the field is greater than 0 and do this for all recor

    Hello,
    I have several text boxes on a document, and wish to make the boxes either solid or visible if the value in the field is greater than 0.
    I am using an excel file for the data, each cell with either 1 or 0 (true or false).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    BJ

    Yes, I also sent an email regarding this problem.
    I am using XNET to write a custom device for PXI-8516 LIN card.
    I've attached a couple snippets showing where I've tracked the problem.
    The only error that I've seen comes from the XNET Wait vi in the timeout snippet.  I believe that error occurs because frame queued in the write snippet is never transmitted by the LIN card.

  • How to populate multiple text boxes by selecting a value from drop down

    I apologize in advance if this is redundant, but I have searched this forum relentlessly to no avail. I have a form  connected to an MS Access database. The database is linked to another datadase on an Advantage server. This is dynamic data that has an ODBC driver allowing to link access tables to the Advantage data. Macros on access updates the table being used on this form. The livecycle form connects to the access data via a DSN on a machine that uses acrobat (not reader). This is a physician office, this form should expedite ordering radiology tests on patients. The plan is to use a drop down to select a chart number that will trigger several text boxes to populate dynamically with the corresponding demographic values like name, age, insurance etc.
    Using a data drop down I am able to select the chart number. When I used the example from the office supplies database, so that a button will trigger the event with the following code:
    if (Len(Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue))) > 0) then
    $sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.commandType = "text"
    $sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.select.nodes. 
    item(0).value = Concat("Select * from OfficeSupplies Where ID = ", Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue)) ,"") 
    I recieve a syntax error, despite adjusting quotation since I am using text rather than numeric fields.
    My question is the following:
    Is there a simple javascript that I can use to populate these text boxes (which may be read only but would be better if it allows user input)? Or does anyone recommend an alternative method? I would be happy with a link that solves this problem if someone can provide. I am somewhat familiar with js but open to any suggesstion.
    Thanks
    PS this form could also be linked to a Sequel database if that offers an advantage.

    The View object API has a setQurery() method that you can use to set the query as needed before executing it via executeQuery(). You can do this in a custom Application Module method exposed to its client interface and bound to the binding layer. You can call this method from your backing bean on a value change listener.
