Using text tool in elements 9

Why am I now getting ____ for a letter now while using the text tool? Was using it earlier with no problem, started working on a new photo & this has happened,and I don`t know how to fix.

When the Text tool is selected, click on the down arrow at the far left of the Options Bar and select "Reset Tool".

  • Text tool in elements 10 has taken to locking up computer

    Any attempt to use text tool in elements 10 has taken to locking up computer. I do not want to pay for an upgrade until I know that one of two things will happen: 1) the upgrade will fix this situation, OR 2) there is a way to repair the problem so that the upgrade will install properly

    Select the T tool and try a reset - see image below:

  • Using Text Tool Freezes Photoshop CC 2014.2 x64 release

    I have just updated Photoshop CC to 2014.2.0 -- 20140926.r.236 x64 release. Now I am experiencing an issue when I use the text tool to just type a few words on a new document or layer. The application seems to freeze up as soon as I start typing? I wait several minutes with nothing happening and have to resort to using the Windows task manger to kill the photoshop processes. This did not happen before I updated to this release?? Please advise how to fix this if possible to [email protected].

  • Can't use text tool

    I can't use text tool. Text is invisible. I tried all colors fonts and settings. Help me pls

    The usual answer is that you have a huge document with a 72dpi resolution, and Type is set to points.
    To test this go Preferences > Units & Rulers and set Type to mm (the default is points)
    Now open the Image size dialog, turn off Resample and set the resolution to 300dpi
    Now create some more text.  If you still can't see anything, come back and we'll try something else.
    Note: if your document size is _really_ huge, like 30,000 pixels, then that's the problem all by itself.

  • Preview glitch when searching for words on page and when using text tools to write comments/notes on .pdf slides, why?

    When using Preview to access my class notes as .pdf files, I have encountered extremely frustrating glitches when trying to search for specific words or phrases within the .pdf files and when trying to use 'text tools' to write notes on the .pdf slides.  Preview did not behave in this manor with Mountain Lion OS.  This seems to correlate with my recent upgrade to Mavericks OS.
    When using the search function you should be able to type in any number of letters or words and press enter to continually cycle through the highlighted findings that match what you have typed in.  Instead it now, typically, stops tracking what I type in after about 3-4 letters and the yellow highlight turns grey.  Once it does this if you try to press enter to cycle through what it has found it no longer cycles.  It never did this in Mountain Lion using the very same .pdf files I had previously used in the old OS, and it does this despite there being multiple matches for what I am searching.
    When clicking 'show edit tool bar' button and then 'text tools' button to be able to free text notes on the .pdf file I have to exit out of the 'text tools' mode to be able to advance to the next page.  This is extremely inconveneint and, again, Preview did not do this in Mountain Lion.
    These are my two major complaints about Preview that I have discovered so far in my short time using it with the new Mavericks OS.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I have this issue too and was pleased to find this thread.  Did either of you find the source of the problem or how to fix it? 
    I've tried using Wondershare PDF Editor as well and wondered that had messed some settings up.  Have either of you used that? 
    If so, how would I revert to a clean version of Preview?
    Hope we can get this sorted. 

  • Photoshop CS4 "Program Error" when using Text tool

    Hello. I was having problems with Photoshop displaying a "Program Error" every so often, so I deleted the preference file and all seemed good. But after deleting the preference file for my Photoshop CS4 and re-launching Photoshop, the text tool causes Photoshop to display a Program Error when using the tool. It never did this before. Should I reinstall Photoshop? I am using a Powermac G5 running 10.5.8. I have already tried repairing the disk permissions.
    Thanks

    Thats kinda what I thought too, but the problem started happening randomly. It started when we were trying to use photomerge with large photos. The program just started giving the program errors. I still think it may be a font problem, but without going through my 2000+ fonts and disabling them one by one, how can I resolve this issue?
    Thanks

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes when I try to use text tool

    I recently upgraded from Photoshop CS3 after upgrading to Leopard on my Mac. Everything has been fine until today when I tried to use the text tool and it crashed the program. I've since tried using the text tool repeatedly and it consistently crashes. It doesn't crash immediately after I select the text tool, but only a few seconds after. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried searching and couldn't find anything.

    FontAgent Pro can be directed to any folder on the computer to load the fonts that are contained there and will then manage them.
    That said, I removed just about all of the fonts a long time ago from Macintosh HD/Library / Application Support/ Adobe /Fonts / Reqrd/ Base
    except for the few basics which certain Adobe programs must have available (like Myriad).
    More recently, Adobe installs its fonts in a different folder: Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts.
    If you don't want that lot showing up in Photoshop's font menu, either remove them from that folder or put that folder under FAP's control.
    The other fonts that I never use, and which clutter Adobe's font menus, are a bunch of Asian fonts.
    They are installed in System/Library/Fonts (which is an area that we are advised never to touch) but I removed the Asian fonts from there and there have been no repercussions so far!

  • Crash when using text tool.

    Hi,
    my Photo shop CS3 always freezes when I'm trying to use the text tool.
    I already deactivated all but the default fonts and I looked for damaged fonts.
    Now I don't know what to do...

    Just an update on other things I have tried.
    Deleted ALL of the fonts in my fonts folder. (MS recreated 6 automatically and repopulated those) Deleted the Photoshop Prefs. Removed Photoshop. Restarted & Re-installed Photoshop from my desktop (copied contents to folder on desktop and installed as per FAQs suggestion). Set my default printer to MS Document because others have reported changing printer from network printer stops freezing issues. Had to run MS Office again, apparently it noticed fonts missing. Started Photoshop and it worked fine for a while. While using both Dreamweaver and Photoshop, Dreamweaver crashed and shortly afterward I experienced the same problem again with freeze-ups then the text tool locking it up.
    My solution as of right now? Reinstalled CS2 and working like a charm. We plan to open a ticket w/ Adobe about the CS3 issue, when/if I get a resolution I will post here.

  • Indesign crashes using text tool

    I am using Indesign CS6 (8.0.1) with MacOS 10.8.2. Upon startup, Indesign gives me an error message saying (free translation from Swedish) something like "The resource file could not be opened". It then crashes as soon as I click the text tool. I have tried deleting the prefs, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
    Can anyone advise what might be wrong and what I should try to fix my issue? Thank you very much in advance, your help is much appreciated!

    Yes.
    Did you replace the prefs yet? If not, log in on the old user and do that. It may be enough. If not, see John's list of additional files to be deleted at Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup
    Note that most or all of the files you need to work with will be hidden, so if you don't know how to find them already, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion

  • Start text layer (using Text Tool) from current time indicator - Adobe After Effects CC

    This is something that would improve the speed of my workflow considerably. When I click inside a composition using the Text Tool, the text layer always positions itself at the beginning of the composition.
    Is there any way to make the text layer start from the current time indicator so I don't continually have to scroll back to the start of the composition and drag the text layer forward to the desired position?
    Many thanks.

    There's a preference: Create Layers At Composition Start Time.

  • PShop 5.5 - using text tool, can't change color of one word...

    Hi All,
    I'm using the text tool and want to change the color of one word but when I select that word and click on the Color Picker box then select the color I want, the entire text changes to that color. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
    I've got several paragraphs and want all the text except the one word to be black. This page is Layer 2 and has the 'T' next to it in the Layers palette.
    Cany ideas?
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    Bless your heart for being patient with XD. I've had a rather frustrating 'technology day' with my husband's laptop (using Vista) and uploading photos but I figured that out. On top of that, my sister had a few changes to make to her website and - unfortunately - most of the pages with loads of text are done with PhotoShop then converted to .jpg's. I know...I know. I'm trying to find the time to change those pages in DreamWeaver to table format instead of layer format...long story.
    All that to say - thank you so much and I love your 'dag nabbit'...that's my kind of talk. I'm grateful for your help and it's ended my day on a better note! ;-)
    Sounds like you're a teacher? Maybe you'll have advice for me with DreamWeaver.... ?
    Thanks again,
    Nancy

  • Dropped characters using text tool.

    Occasionally, when I type a string using the text line tool, Frame will drop a chacter when the screen is refreshed. Most of the time it is the first character, such as it will change "Callout" to "allout"; less often it is somewhere else. If the string is only one character, the grab handles are there where the character should be. If it's a longer string and the first character is dropped, the left-end grab handles are adjacent to the first visible character, giving the appearance there never was that first character. I forgot what happens if it drops a character in the middle.
    If the text string is a single character, it disappears but its grab handles are there.
    It happens sometimes on a Control+l refresh, or sometimes when I move the string's position with the mouse.
    I'm using Windows XP and Win 7 in Parallels, everything with latest patches. The font is Myriad Pro Semicondensed (Adobe's OTF).  I tried different fonts but it happens so rarely that I can't really tell if the font was the fix or if it simply didn't show up. Problem is that the font specs are called out by the customer.
    Anyone see this?

    > .just think it is weird that it hasn't happened all this time and now it does...lol...oh well..
    If you didn't change FM versions or apply a patch, I agree. Weird.
    > I used to use text frames, but the text strings are just easier for call outs.
    TFs are worth the small amount of extra work. Graphics Text is severely limiting, entirely apart from bugs.
    TFs get you global Paragraph Formats, Character Formats, Variables, Xrefs, search, etc.
    We do callouts as Xrefs - massively easier to maintain on the shifting sands of part changes and any need to add more c/os to the same figure.

  • Enter Key Not Working When Using Text Tool

    For some reason, my enter key has stopped working when using the text tool.  Instead of making a soft return to a new line, it simply commits the type. What is going on here?
    I'm using a desktop and CS3.

    there are 2 enter keys in key board
    if u enter main key board enter, sentence will go to next line
    In case u enter the key  available in  rightside of the key board , in the cluster of numericals, the type tool is committed.

  • Using Text Tool / Titles Slows Down Editing Significantly

    When I add in text using the text tool on PrEl 9, the video playback becomes very choppy.  This is whether the text has animation (movement of any kind) to it or even if it just stands still. Wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong.  Otherwise, I can simultaneously play two purely video tracks with no problem, it seems to be only a text tool thing...any ideas anyone? 
    My System: HP, Windows 7, AMD 6-core 2.8ghz processor, 6g RAM
    Thanks - JD

    In addition to Steve's suggestions, it sounds like adding text may now require rendering - make sure there is either no line or a green horizontal line above the highest video track in the Timeline.   If there is, press ENTER or pick Timeline > Render Work Area from the menu.  If the red line won't go away, your work area may not include the whole timeline.
    If that doesn't take care of it, is the playback only poor in the parts of the timeline where there is text or is it the whole timeline?

  • Help! Can't use Text tool in Photoshop CS5

    When I launched Photoshop this morning and opened a file containing text and an image, I got the following error message:
    "The type layers in this document were rasterized because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
    When I created a new, empty Photoshop document and selected the Text tool, I got this error message:
    "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    The Photoshop text tool is useless at the moment. I tried relaunching Photoshop and restarting my computer to no avail.
    Nothing has changed in my Photoshop installation except that I recently installed FontExplorer X Pro on this computer and activated the Photoshop CS5 plugin that comes with the program. I have now uninstalled the plugin, but the Photoshop text tool still doesn't work.
    Suggestions greatly appreciated. I need access to a fully-functional Photoshop ASAP. Thanks!

    Since you're having the same problem with a different font manager installed, it looks like the problem may lie with Photoshop rather than the font management software. I'm going to file a bug report with Adobe.
    Meanwhile, you might want to uninstall Photoshop CS5 (Utilities/Adobe Installers/Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium) and reinstall it from the original disc. You do not need to deactivate anything before doing this.
