Undoing text editing in FCP5

Since moving to FCP5 we have noticed peculiar behaviour in text editing. Undo deletes all text in the window and it can't be restored. Does anybody know if this is preference related or is this the way Apple in its wisdom has decided it should work?

Some of our people are only part time editors and they get a bit daunted by the options in the Boris generators. From memory I think we have also had problems in running out of characters in crawls with previous versions.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Trevor

Font / text edit problem in photoshop CS6

Hi there,
I have a strange text edit problem in Photoshop CS6 running on Mavericks.
Every time I use the text-tool in PS, write a sentence, mark it and change something like color, font size etc., the marked text vanishes.
I have to "undo" the last step and the changed text appears again.
Every time!
I have a clean installed CS6 with no plugins and no other than system fonts installed.
Everything on a new Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5
Any clues? Thanks.

Do you have the latest updates for photoshop cs6?
You can use Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to check if there are any available.
Also, if you go to Help>System Info from within photoshop cs6, you can see the Photoshop Version in the top line.
You should be on version 13.0.6
See if turning off Dictation solves the issue.
Go to System Preferences ---> Dictation and Speech -----> select OFF radio button .

I accidentally "formatted" a text edit document, and didn't want to save it - but that's no longer an option How do I retrieve the previous version?

I created a list of emails on a text edit document that can be easily inserted into an e-blast. I accidentally did something that cause most of them to form a narrow column - up/down rather than right/left, if that makes sense. With the very annoying way documents are automatically saved, I'm now stuck with this. How can this format be un-done?

Well, you need to try to remember what it is you did. If you have not closed the document or saved it manually since you did the formatting, then it should show up under the Undo. If it is not showing there, then it may have been a setting you changed. Did you change your margins? In the ruler on top, where are the left and right margin indicators? Is the right on really far over toward the left?

How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

Hi,
You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
Following idea could be your task flow
Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
|
v
Router
1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
hope it helps,

Downloads open as Text Edit files

Hi, I bought my first Mac a couple of weeks ago (never been able to afford one before!) and it's proving to be as amazing as I expected, but I'm still trying to work lots of things out.
When I try to download files from the internet or from email attachments they go to my downloads folder but when I open them they come up as what looks like a computer code in a Text Edit window.
At first I thought this was because I was trying to open Windows only file types but I just tried to download a game that was supposed to be for Mac only and it happened here as well. (This is the website I was trying to download from: http://absolutist.com/mac/bubble_shooter/ )
I appreciate I'm probably being a moron but I've trawled the forums here and can't seem to find an answer - any help would be very welcome.
Thanks

To The Apple Discussion Boards!
After you click on the download link a window will pop up showing you what type of file it is you are trying to download. In this case, it's a .sit file.
In the center of the window you will see:
_*Open With.*_ Make sure this is selected.
Now check to see what application/program is selected to open your files. It appears to be some text edit program. You will need to select an application that you want to open your .sit files or all your files for that matter.
I personally, use the free Stuffit Expander to open all my files instead of depending on the OS to open them.
You can download Stuffit Expander from VersionTracker.

Need help in embedding a link to url within a text edit

Hi,
We need to embed a LinkToURL within a textedit in a webdynpro view. We are extracting content from KM and displaying the content in the text edit. Immediately after the extracted content is displayed in the textedit, we need to embed a LinkToURL, which when clicked opens a new window and displays content extracted from a different file.
Could anybody help out in achieving this?
Thanks much in advance,
Sunitha.S

There is no way to embed rich text neither in TextEdit nor in TextView UI controls.
You may display such content using IFrame (easy way) or parse content yourself and create UI controls dynamically (extremely hard)

Text Edit (print size small)

I try to print a document (Rich) I'm using a Canon MP970 Printer. (Web pages, pics) print out fine. My Text Edit fonts always come out small.
I up the percent to 120% (File>Page Set-up)...and to No avail....I've also made the fonts bigger. (Apple) Command-Plus sign +...though they appear large in Text Edit, they still come out small and if I up the size they run off the right side of the paper. The margins on the Left seem to be much wider than what I've selected in Text Edit. Any ideas of what to do? thanks

Choose "Wrap to Page" rather than "Wrap to Window" in the TextEdit View menu.

Text Edit Default Size

How do i change the default size of Text Edit fonts? I can enlarge the font size but when I open a new documnet the size reverts back to the smalller size.

The TextEdit preferences has a Font section (New Document tab) to specify the default for plain and rich text.

Text editing - can you add text editing options on the 'in-browser editing'

Text editing - can you add text editing options on the 'in-browser editing' tool?

You can only replace existing content, not edit the page structure. Refer to the respective help sections.

Converted single line text to multiple and want to have rich text editing in layout

We had a text field in a site that was initially set as single line of text. We needed it to be bigger and also allow formatting. So I added the field into the page layout.
Changing
<SharePointWebControls:TextField id="habitat" FieldName="Habitat" runat="server"/>
to
<SharePointWebControls:NoteField id="habitat" FieldName="Habitat" runat="server"/>
But it doesn't show any rich text editing options and displays the full html tags in the field.
If I open the page in the edit properties screen instead, then the field displays as I want it with the rich text editing options available in the ribbon, and text showing as bolded instead of like this:
<div>This is <strong>the </strong>habitat field.</div>
This is a site using the 2010 Publishing template running in compatibility mode on a 2013 server.
How can I get my page layout to behave the same way as the edit properties screen does?

Hi,
Here are two solutions for your reference:
1. We can use the InputFormTextBox control to achieve it.
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="habitat" RichText="true" RichTextMode="FullHtml" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="20"></SharePoint:InputFormTextBox>

http://blog.mastykarz.nl/rich-text-editor-control-sharepoint-2010/
2. We can use the RichHtmlField control to achieve it.
<PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField id="habitat" FieldName="Habitat" runat="server"/>

IMovie 10.0.6 Text Editing

Hi,
I have now updated to Yosemite and the latest version of iMovie.
When I try to edit titles it seems that they have taken out many of the options including drop-shadow etc. Can anyone else confirm this or point me in the right direction?
Cheers
Ben

I'd just like to 'left justify' my rolling credits at the end of my movie and can't see how to do it. All the 'credits' are centered and strewn all over the place. It would seem to be a simple fix, but the tools aren't there.
Also, it's difficult to text edit in the movie itself. Easier than previous versions, but still not as easy as it could be.

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write. Still, documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder on the server. Techies can't figure it out here. What am I not doing?

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.

HT2509 Font Book not working correctly? or Text Edit not working correctly?

I downloaded a font onto Font Book and it works perfectly on Font Book and all the characters and symbols come up correctly, as they should. Then when I use it on Text Edit, it replaces the ', " and @ with a $ sign. What can I do to fix this, or is it unfixable? I'm using a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I'm not sure what could be causing this situation.

It does that because that's the way the lazy person who created this font built it. Here's the layout of the font you're having trouble with:
Now compare it to the OS X supplied font Andale Mono:
Note on the third line, second from the right that Andale Mono has an @ symbol in the "at" position. The person who created the font you downloaded types a $ sign because that's what they put there, along with dozens of other glyph positions (must have really loved how they drew that $ sign). Which when you look where the quote and apostrophe are, they are also filled with the $ glyph.
The font is a piece of junk. Delete it.

Can't open document using Word or Text Edit

I couldn't find a specific topic so I'm posting this here. I just got a new white macbook and transferred some word documents to it. I was out of town and realized I'd forgotten to load the Word program, so I opened a couple of documents using Text Edit and saved them as new documents. One document opened without issue, but the other document won't open with either Text Edit or MS Word 2004. When I try to open it in Word the message states it cannot be opened and may or may not be a valid word document. When I try to open in TextEdit the message states that the document is not in the right format. Please help -- I really don't want to have to re-create the document as it is about 12 pages!
Thanks, Sandy

There are 2 unusual options in File, Open in the Windows version of Word (sorry, I'm on a Mac without Word). One is something like Recover Text From Any Format, and the other is Open and Repair. One I think is on a drop down menu in the Open screen. I'm not sure if these are available on the Mac version, but it's worth a try! Also: do you have all the proper converters set up? I have Word 2004 for Mac running on one machine, a legal copy, and I was able to do updates and even get a free conversion program that actually backward converts Word 2007 for Windows and Word 2008 for Mac files down to Word for Mac 2004. It's worked quite will. I support Word on Macs and Windows at work and have used that conversion utility to great advantage when we had users call with Word docs that wouldn't open. Good luck!
