Why is text box at top of Safari missing?

I was on vacation and since returning, the Safari browser home page looks different and most importantly, the text box at the top of the page where I'd type in the URL of a web site I want to go to is missing. (The text box is GONE.)

Hi William
I'm guessing that it's not just that your 'home page' which opens with a new window, or when Safari starts, is wrong ? (if it is that, you can alter it in Safari - Preferences - General)
It sounds like some sort of add-on or extension has changed Safari (a screenshot would help, if you can)
Extensions can be disabled/selected in Safari - Preferences - Extensions
other add-ons can be in the folders listed at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3230
If it's not an extension, and you can't find any other add-on - please post a screenshot if possible, and also test briefly in a New User Account, since that will tell us where to look

Hi, Joann JustAnswer has asked me to answer your question -- "I have iPad 2 and I don't see the little box at top in safari to let me see the open pages I have. In iPad 1 it was next to the open book at the top

Hi, Joann
JustAnswer has asked me to answer your question -- "I have iPad 2 and I don't see the little box at top in safari with the number on it that I can tap to get to my open pages
On iPad 1 it was next to the little open book

Not with iOS 5 no. A number of other people have made the same comment about it, so you could try leaving feedback like some of them will have done, and maybe in a future iOS update we'll get the choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Putting text in a shape vs in a text box on top of a shape

I want to put text in a shape (eg a rectangle). You can put text directly in the shape, or you can put text in a text box on top of the shape. I am interested in the pros and cons of these two methods.
It seems to me that putting it directly in the shape is better (if you are going to fill the shape with text). I don't see that using a text box adds any functionality.
Any thoughts?
thanks
bob

Put the text directly into the shape. Anyway, putting a text box into a shape does not work, I don't think. You can place shapes within shapes, but not text boxes.

Why does text box move when I open pages doc on my friend's mac?

Hi Everyone,
So I have this very vexing problem with pages. I have been trying to collaborate with a friend of mine and everytime the pages document moves from one computer to the other the text boxes move terribly out of place. So for example, I will make a document and format it perfectly on my computer. Then I will email it to her (or put it up on dropbox or yousendit or zip it and email it) and without fail when she opens it on her computer the text boxes have moved and the document looks horrible, all my design work is totally wasted. The same thing happens if she starts a document on her end and then gives it to me.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions?
Oh and by the way we are both running OS 10.8.2 and Pages 4.3
Thanks in advance!

Hi Swati,
That was a shot in the dark. I remember that the now obsolete MacDraw would reset its margins to suit different printers. I had the thought that because Pages page layout seems similar to MacDraw, it was doing the same. I don't have a printer, so my print settings don't tell me much. Maybe Page Setup or the Print dialogue?
Let's hope that someone else has more ideas.
Regards,
Ian.

Why do text boxes show up as different colors when they are the same color?

I am baffled. I have created an InDesign document and I used the rectangle tool to create a blue box at the top of the document and one at the bottom. They are both filled with CMYK (100, 88, 35, 28). The one on the top of the document shows darker than the one at the bottom. I thought it was a document issue, so I created a new document. It does the same thing. I took the box at the top and moved it to the bottom and when it hit the half way point of the document, it changed colors (got lighter).
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Liz

No, what was once dark is now light and vice-a-versa. See screen capture above. When I rotate the page 180 degrees, here is what I get.

Why does text box info get cut off in certificate

I am using Captivate 7. When a student enters his name and pharmacy license number in the field is is ok, but when it is reproduced in the certificate (and the name also in the "Hello NAME welcome to the program") it cuts off the name if it is too long and won't print all of the license info if there is more than one license (it prints some of the second) .... it's like cutting it off becuase there are too many letters or numbers.
I have the correct field for the certificate, for instance $$cpQuizInfoStudentName$$ and $$v_custom4$$ .... it pulls the info in from the field, but cuts it off.
Any ideas? HELP. I am pulling what little hair is left on my head out!
Thanks.

Hi,
It sounds like you have authored a drop-down field that looks something like this in the Design view:
As you know, the fillable form cannot display this multi-line choice label.
Unfortunately, there's no way to correct this issue other than reducing the amount of text in the choice label or somehow creating enough space in the form to accommodate the text on a single line. For example:
- reduce the amount of space allocated for the label text
- reduce the text size of the drop-down field
- increase the form width, then increase the width of the drop-down control
I will log a bug against the authoring application for this issue. The current behavior is misleading.
Thanks for the feedback.

Why won't the text show on top of a rectangle?

When I use the rectangle frame tool to make a box and then put a text box on top it doesn't let the text show.
This first picture is of my text box off the side, and then the yellow box I'm trying to put the text on top of, the second picture is what it shows me when I try to do that. It will show the text anywhere as long as it's not on top of a box and I can't figure out why or how to change it.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Select your rectangle and turn off the Text Wrap
or
Select your text box and set it to Ignore Text Wrap
or
in your preferences, set Text Wrap Affects Only Items Beneath. (not sure of the wording, but that's the jist.)

How can I type into a text window on top of a box?

Hi gang. When I create a box (for example, a sidebar b/g) then create a text box on top of it, I can't type into that box unless I drag it off to the side, away from the b/g box (or layer, since we're not talking Quark) as the text just hops over to the b/g layer. Is there something I need to check or uncheck? It's driving me crazy. TIA

OK, I think I see what's going on. Use the Text tool to make the text frame, not the Rectangle tool. Becasue the rectanlge has no fill, and is not expecting text by default, when you click inside it you are really clicking in the filled background frame.
Of course, ther'e generally no reason to put a text frame on top of a native rectangle object like this you could just use the yellow frame, add some insets to position the text where you want it, and forget about the second frame on top.

Autoflow Text makes boxes ON TOP of master linked boxes (IDCS3)

Using CS 3 version 5.0.4 on G5 Mac with OS 10.4.11
Adobe's instructions say:
"Flow text automatically
" With the loaded text icon displayed, hold down Shift as you do one of the following:
Click the loaded text icon in a column to create a frame the width of that column. InDesign creates new text frames and new document pages until all text is added to the document.
Click inside a text frame that is based on a master text frame. The text autoflows into the document page frame and generates new pages as needed, using the master frame’s attributes."
I am trying to import text into a book. I have formatted a master page spread and applied it to one document page. When I follow option 2 above ID is creating the requisite number of pages, it is creating full-page text boxes ON TOP of the text boxes from the Master page. It is completely ignoring the text frames based on the Master page.
I have sent my document and text to a friend who is working in ID CS 4. When he does the same thing it imports into the formatted frames.
How can I get this to work properly?
John

Michael,
It should be left to right. I must be dyslexic late at night. Sorry.
The two masters is one facing pages master for the bulk of the book, then a second master for chapter openers with a dropped frame, chapter title frame, or some other "special" condition that you don't want appearing in general. I may have misunderstood what the OP meant by "different."
The requirement for two pages is only if they are based on different masters (and after some playing, apparently perhaps only if the masters aren't based on one another in the order they are used). Here's the scenario:
Page 1 is a chapter opener with a dropped frame, and the rest of the pages need to be full height, so you create two master spreads, one for the opener and one for the main pages. The chapter opener master (call it A) can be either a single or two-page master, and can be configured with different height frames on either side if you wish. Normally one would assign Master A to page 1, then the second master (call it B) to pages 2 through the end of the chapter, so you add two pages to the document, the first based on A, and the second based on B.
If you try to autoflow starting on page one one of two things will happen, depending on the relationship between the masters (this is based on testing in CS4, but I have no reason to think it would be different in CS3): If there is no relationship between the masters, or if A is based on B (that is the based on relationship is not in the same order that the pages appear in the document), autoflow will jump over page 2 (and any following pages based on any master not based on A) and create new pages based on A to place the text that doesn't fit on page 1.
If Master B is is based on A, then autoflow will use the pages based on it, but will switch back to making pages based on master A when it adds new pages. If A is based on B.
If you place text only into page 1 (either by not holding a modifier key or holding the Alt [Opt] key for semi-autoflow to keep the cursor loaded), then move to page 2 and hold the shift key to autoflow starting on that page, ID will add new pages based on the master used on page 2.
On the other hand, if you DON"T use master text frames, ID will autoflow through all available pages, using the margin and column guides, and then add new pages based on the master for page 1(and this is different from what I had remembered -- I thought it would add pages based on the last page in the document), so if you don't have enough pages in the doc already, and page 1 is different from the following page, you still want to start the autoflow on page 2.

How do you keep text box formatting data after saving and closing a PDF? (Acrobat XI)

I love that Acrobat XI has the feature "Edit Text & Images". It saves me and my company time when modifying PDFs for our clients. Though I am having some formatting woes...
When I insert a new text box into the document, I can span the entire text box from top to bottom of the page. I can type whatever I want in it and it makes it simple for editing later. Though, when I save the document, close it, and reopen it, all the text that was in one huge text box is broken out into multiple text boxes (per line of text). This makes it a pain to do any edits to the document because the text overlaps and does not wrap (different text boxes over one another). How can I stop this from happening? Is there a way to combine multiple text boxes maybe? What is the best solution to this issue? (running trial version of Acrobat XI on Win7 64-bit)

Why we have chosen not to use comments is due to the how jumbled they become on a page. We are basically going back and putting detailed annotations/footnotes (with numbered markers) to identify what portion of the page the functionality lives/exist. Comments also sometimes close so you cannot find them very easily...
I have just figured out with this form text field solution, I can't use underlined text...sigh...
Update: Figured out the underlined text, CTRL+I

How to apply a semi-transparent background to a text box

Hi Framers,
The cover of my doc has a full-page .png file on a master page. I want to add the title of the manual on the body page of the cover in a text box. No problem. However, I want to apply a semi-transparent effect to the background of the text box, so the graphic behind it shows in a muted way.
I'm sure this has to do with some combination of the Tint, Fill, and Overprint settings but none of my experiments have produced anything close to the desired effect.
I did RTFM and also searched the Help and the forum. I truly hope I didn't overlook the answer---but if I did, it wasn't for lack of trying!
As always, your expertise is very much appreciated.
TIA,
Gay

Wow, I wish I had Photoshop! I use a less sophisticated image editor, which has always served quite adequately and since it supports layers, I'll try to figure out how to do what you're suggesting.
(I did try a "None" fill and the bottom image does show up, but I wanted it a bit muted, as would happen with perhaps a "half transparency" and that is apparently what I can't achieve in FM.)
If I understand correctly, I need to edit the imported graphic to make a portion of it appear semi-transparent, and then when I bring it back into FM and put my text box on top of it, it will appear the same as if I had been able to put a partial transparency in the fill of the text box...
I really, really, really hate it when I find myself thinking "Word could do this easily, why can't Frame?"
Thanks for your helpful suggestions, guys, you're great. As always!

What you see is not what you get (gradient fills in text boxes do not reder

I have a web page that has a lot of text boxes with gradient fills. Some of these render correctly in Safari but many do not. They all look fine in iWeb. I copied one that rendered correctly and the pasted version did not. (the gradient fill did not cover the entire text box) Text boxes with two lines of text seem to have the most problems. Most copied text boxes also have problems.

Using a shape with a gradient fill and dragging a plain text box on top of it instead of just filling a text box with a gradient fill does work. However, Im not sure the problem is converting my text to an image as the html still has my text inside of tags even with the gradient fill. It seems like iweb should produce web pages that look exactly like what is shown in iweb.
So my question is not completely answered, but I do have a work around. Thanks

When converting word doc to pdf, my images with text only show the background color of the text box.

I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf. I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page. It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color. If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images. Any help?

How do I let a inserted picture flow over the other text boxes

I am creating a poster. I have a text box on top and one on the bottom. I want to insert a picture in the middle and want the picture to kind of flow around the other two text boxes without blacking out the two text boxes. Also, how can I curve the text boxes to a slight curve.

Inspector > Wrap > uncheck Object causes Wrap

Is it possible to have a text box in front of a widget?

I have my layout ready on iBooks Author. Every widget was sent to back of each page (Send to Back). Some have text boxes on top of them (Bring to Front). Everything looks perfect.
When I open the iBook on an ipad, all widgets are at the front of the pages, and all text boxes are covered by the widgets, were superposition occurs.
I want my text to be on top at all times, just like its shown by the iBooks Author interface.
One last thing, if I open the iBook on the ipad, the table of contents thumbnails shows everything like its supposed to be. Its the pages themselves that are all wrong, with unreadable text caused by the widgets, as described above.
Which makes me thing this is clearly a bug.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

You can't? Just to give you some context, I work as a graphic designer, I'm creating for the first time an iBook for a client and I have quite a few examples already.
A couple of vague examples:
- Imagine a diagonal animation from the bottom left corner to the top right corner of the page. I could do this with keynote or html, for example. Now imagine you want some text floating at the top left and bottom right corner.
I wont get into details, but the fact the animation is "cutting" through the text is very much relevant to the context.
- A page with a bold white title, a strong photographic lowkey background and some kind of interaction of top of it.
- A page with a keynote widget occupying almost the entire area, and a title in text format (that would superpose with they keynote but not with its graphics)
- etc etc
These are all impossible scenarios.
The actual interaction with text/images and interactive elements is nonexistent.
But I understand now that the interactive bits of the book must be separated from the other content - its context -which is a shame. And I understand it's not a bug, from what you say. The iBA interface shows the book like a PFD export, in a way, as well as the thumbnails at the Table of Contents, were all the text is visible. The actual pages have a different behaviour.
Thank you very much for the fast feedback. I will use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu, as suggested.
