Why are my text box contents being deleted after saving a Word document?

I've been using Microsoft Office Word 2011 to write Uni notes - using 'Flow Text' boxes. Only when I save them, the text in the text boxes disappears, and they're empty?! Help!

  • My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same.  Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

    It may be in the process of making room.  What version of OSX are you on?    (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network;  Lion has improved it greatly.)
    A clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of  Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.   That should help you figure out what's going on.  If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
    If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

  • Why are my text boxes broken up in Illustrator CS6?

    I have an iMac at work with Mountain Lion and Ilustrator CS6, I have files that I have created with Illustrator from scratch but when I bring them home and open them on my iMac at home with the same system the text boxes are broken into individual text boxes for each line of text. What is going on. Also everything in the document is a Clipping Path inside the document bound box.

    Are you sure it is the same AI version?

  • Why Are the Text Boxes I Create in a Layout Not Editable When I Add Them?

    I've made some chapter and section layouts and in the layouts panel when I select them the text boxes are red and editable. But when I apply the layout to a page in my book, everything is greyed out. Nothing is locked, but now my layouts are useless.
    Have anyone else had this issue? Am I just creating the text boxes incorrectly? What's the problem?

    I figured it out but this is a HUGE gotcha for anyone else this happens to.
    While editing layouts, there is an option in the Layout Tab in the Inspector called "Editable on Pages Using This Layout". This MUST be checked for each object you want to change in the pages you add to a book.

  • Why are certain playlists in itunes being deleted when i update itunes?

    Can these playlists be restored from a back-up?

    I use master page elements all the time and my contents pages do have a text frame on the Master page, so perhaps it is such a master page element. I'm used to working with master page elements that you need to Ctrl-click on so you can edit the content - for my page titles for instance - and smart text reflow is on (Add to end of story).
    When I click on the overset text icon on the text frame I am in text mode (t) but I use Ctrl to click the overset text, which gives me the reflow icon. It's only the first supplementary page I have to create, thereafter iD creates all the remaining pages (there are 14 pages of contents in one of the books, the main one I'm experimenting on).

  • Why are Master Suite CS5 progrms not deleted after installing CS6?

    Will it cause a problem if i just delete the CS5 Master Suite programs.  I do not have space for CS5 and CS6 versions of programs.

    We had a thread on this actually previously in the forum although I am unable to locate it at the moment.  For many users they prefer to keep the older versions to help ensure compatibility.  For example InDesign CS5.5 is unable to open native InDesign CS6 documents.
    This is part of the reason which we don't automatically prompt users to remove the software.  Also there can be a learning curve to using the new features/UI.  By allowing the user to choose to remove the software it can help ensure they are well versed and prepared to use the new version of the software in their creative endeavors.
    Thank you for your input [email protected] though.  It is appreciated.  We could certainly look of at least providing an option that the user could opt into for removal.

  • Emails in my 'trash' are being deleted after about 5 weeks, but I want to retain them. I have elected 'never' on the 'permanently erase deleted messages' option, so I'm not sure why this happening?

    emails in my 'trash' are being deleted after about 5 weeks, but I want to retain them. I have selected 'never' on the 'permanently erase deleted messages' option, so I'm not sure why this happening? any ideas?

    iCloud emails in the Trash are deleted after 30 days on the website, and this over-rides the 'never' setting in Mail. There is no way of stopping this. (The Trash isn't really intended as a permanent storage area.)
    Try this workaround. Go to http://www.icloud.com and go to the Mail page. In the sidebar, click on '+' to the right of 'Folders' to create a new folder; give it a suitable name.
    Now click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left. At the bottom of the pane which opens, set the 'Move deleted messages to' drop-down menu to your new folder.
    I'm not sure whether, when you delete messages in the Mail application, they will go to the Trash or your new folder - you'll need to experiment. I have a nasty feeling that Mail will simply move them to the Trash as before. If this is the case you will have to move them to your new folder manually - dragging messages directly to this folder rather than hitting the delete key will be the easiest way.

  • Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?

    My users are unable to center text when edited pages in CS3 and CS4. The standard paragraph alignment buttons are grayed out.
    All the users of my site have Admin role, and I have set up the role to allow unrestricted editing. And "Allow Users to Apply Styles"... At screenshot of some of my settings is attached. I don't see why Contribute is not allowing this basic element to work.
    Why Are My Text Align Buttons Grayed Out?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I experienced the very same issue, but found an interesting quick-fix that worked for us.
    Several of my webpage content managers reported that they could not change the text alignment in pages created using Dreamweaver nested templates. We use nested editable regions in order to restrict portions of the pages (i.e. banners and navigation menus) from being edited.
    I found that Contribute CS4 could realign text in some parts of the affected pages, but not others.
    Further exam revealed that Contribute could change the alignment on any text that was inside a table on those pages. If I inserted a table and then cut-n-pasted the problem text into the table, the text lost its style/formatting, but it could then have its alignment changed.
    Any text not inside a table could not have the alignment changed by Contribute and changing its style/formatting made no difference.
    One note though: It was interesting that after pasting the text into a table, if I selected a chunk of text, the alignment buttons grayed out again. However, if I simply clicked on the line of text (did not select it), the buttons remained active and the text alignment could be changed.
    I don't know why it is happening. The nested regions were working fine, or so I thought, until recently.
    The above is a quick-fix and got my page content managers back online, but I'm still searching for a long-term solution if anyone has one.
    Good luck...

  • I am using the big date calendar template and when I submit it to apple for printing I lose the name of two months. These names are not text boxes. I see the names when I send it in but something happens during the transmission to apple. It was suggested

    I am using the big date calendar template in iPhoto. I am on Lion 10.7.2, macbook air. The names of the months are on each calendar page but something happens when I send the data to Apple. The names are part of the template. They are not text boxes. I lose two names on the calendar after it is sent to Apple. Apple suggested I make a pdf file of my calendar before sending it in and check to make sure every name shows. I did this with a calendar I just sent in. The calendar was correct. All names of the months were showing. After sending the data two month names disappeard because when it arrived by mail, it was incorrect. Apple looked at my calendar via a pdf file and it was incorrect.  This is second time this has happened. I called Apple and they had me delete several folders in the Library folder, some preferences and do a complete reinstall of iPhoto.  I have not yet remade the defective calendar. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

    Control-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
    You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar.  If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them.  Contact Apple for a refund.  Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)

  • Why are some text pages converted to png's?

    I'm sure this has been covered to death but why does this happen? Here are two pages:
    this one converted to png:
    http://web.mac.com/neoverse/iWeb/Josh_Mobley/Blog/78282A4A-E25D-4F67-94C7-1F20F3 3D6FB3.html
    and this one which is not:
    http://web.mac.com/neoverse/iWeb/Josh_Mobley/About%20Me.html
    now, at first I thought it was having a link in the text but I have other pages with links that don't convert to png.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    In iWeb are both text boxes "Arial?" Did you copy any text from anywhere or did you type it all in?
    One thing to try, create a text box, type "text" then publish to see if it comes up text. If it does, then try to determine the differences. In the case where you copied the text in, there may not be a clear difference but retyping seems to have solved the problem for other users.

  • Why are artists in music library being removed from alphabetical list once a track has been played? All artist recently played appear before 'A' in my library.

    Why are artists in music library being removed from alphabetical list once a track has been played? All artist recently played appear before 'A' in my library now rendering the search bar on right of screen useless.

    Also, why would my music play at all when I turn iTunes Match off and delete all tracks off the phone? Home sharing also disabled. It is very odd!

  • Convert PDF to Word - Tables are in Text Boxes using Acrobat 11. How can this be avoided?

    Hello All,
    I am using Acrobat 11 to convert PDF's to MS Word .doc or .docx. The tables are converted correctly but they are inside Text Boxes. My documents have hundreds of tables and I cant manually remove the text boxes.
    Is there a way to remove the Text Box that contains each table?
    Regards Paul

    Hello Anubha,
    My apologies.  Hopefully you can see the table is inside a text box. The Acrobat 7 doesn't behave like this, nor do some of the other PDF conversion products.
    In my output there is 700 pages with average of 3 tables per page. A manual workaround to get the tables out of the text boxes wouldn't be practicable.
    Can you confirm that this is not the expected behaviour. I thought I recently saw a video showing this behaviour as standard for Acrobat 11.
    Regards Paul

  • Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?

    Why are my video edits not being saved on Photoshop CS6?
    I made a TON of edits in a video group, then duplicated that group into another file... and all my edits are gone.
    I spent hours working on this, so please let me know what the hell happened and how I can make sure it never happens again...
    also--why would CS6 come with such a devastating feature?!?! Who came up with this???

    Welcome to the forum.
    I did not see any reference to Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Did you use one of those?
    Good luck,
