Why no redo for font changes?

When adjusting things like font tracking in Keynote, one has to go several layers deep in the Format menu each time, and each time one gets only a tiny change. Thus in such a circumstance, one typically needs to redo this cumbersome process over and over to get a piece of text to look right.
Why doesn’t "Redo" work? In such a circumstance it is grayed out in the Edit menu.
What it should do is apply the same font change again, so that one can shift-cmd-Z as many times as necessary to obtain the desired tracking.
This issue is of course more general than just font tracking - it applies to e.g. font baseline as well.
Can Apple make this change?
In the mean time, is there a good workaround?

Fair point.
A work around would be to set styles in the slide Master. That would work for tracking at least once you've got the style established.
Another is to set a keyboard short cut for tighten and loosen in System Preferences.
Open System preferences in and choose Keyboard - keyboard shortcuts
Add application, other, keynote.
Add one shortcut for tighten and one for loosen.
etc.
Hope this helps.

  • Safari-Hunt For Font Change

    I just downloaded the beta version of Safari. Trying to change the font style and size from Arial 14 in the 'standard font' settings. When I activate the select button it does bring up the font window/choices. But when I highlight a different font and size, no change change happens. The Arial font remains. Ditto with the 'fixed font' selection. I'm sure I am missing something in my understanding how this works. Please help "fill the gap in my head" so I can fill the web page with the proper font.
    Thanks!

    If the code of the page you are looking at tells the browser what font to use, I don't think the settings you are talking about will override that.

  • Why email sent for password change "sent successfully" but never arrives

    I am frustrated beyond measure! I need to sign in to Firefox, Mozilla, or Thunderbird but it won't accept my password and when an email is sent to [email protected] to reset password it never arrives.
    Note: This started after I could no longer click on any link in my email and access website/link. If I type in or copy link address and paste into my google browser it can't find it and says it is not a correct address.
    This just started 4-5 days ago.
    I receive other emails and have checked settings, filters, restarted Thunderbird, Firefox, run diagnostics to no avail.
    Please help. Thank you. Patricia

    ok, I am confused, but I think no more than you.
    Thunderbird stores your passwords, it does not allocate them or reissue them. Mozilla have no idea what your mail accounts or passwords are.
    You can apparently log into this site (your posting here), and this site is what any password reset mails would be about if they come from Mozilla.
    I strongly suggest you log into your web mail at delextreme.com and look in the trash, spam. junk and any other folders your mail provider may ave stuck them into. Password reset emails regularly go to spam or trash. Mail providers just do what they like.
    Notre that is you click a link and chrome can not find the link it is not a problem with your mail client. It may however be a problem with your anti virus (modifying the links to protect you from yourself) or a DNS issue preventing the sites from resolving. (contact with your isp may well be required to fix that)

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards

  • 'Highlight' Character Style -- Why Does the Font Change?

    I want to define a style that mimics a highlight marker.
    Choose some text, set the background/fill to yellow.
    Highlight filled words, then choose 'Define Style From Selection..."
    Then, in the More... selection I deselect every attribute of the character style except for the fill colour. So this should highlight text, but leave every other attribute of the text unchanged -- I think.
    But whenever I apply it, the font changes to something I don't recognise -- even though the font is not a part of the character style description.
    What am I doing wrong?
    TIA

    You need to make sure the font is embedded in the PDF. This is optional in some sofware.
    If it is not embedded, your local font is used. No such local font exists on the iPad.

  • Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word?  They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

    Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF?  It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

    Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

  • Changing the predefined sap logo and whats the px value for font size

    Hi,
    I am  unable to remove a Sap logo on ajax fwk: masthead . I want to replace my logo with that sap logo .
    but when i  try to set url to logo to that image .it doesn' change.
    Help me to resolve the problem
    and whats the px value for font size more than 10

    Hi,
    The URL to set logo  should work when you edit it in the correct theme. Usually cache issues prevent us from seeing the desired result. By Clearing cache your issue should get resolved. Otherwise if need be you can edit the com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead par file and define the manner in which you want your logo to be displayed in the masthead. Download the par file and open it in NWDS. Search for "logo" keyword you will find it. Edit the current image and upload the PAR file again.

  • Using Labview and WIndows WP fonts change size for no reason

    I can fix the page, come back in a few days and the font size has changed to a smaller size. Any idea why?
    Message Edited by Fred Bauer on 10-13-2008 11:03 AM

    Can you provide some more information on this? LV Version, are all the fonts changing, what custom font are you trying to use and on what parts of the front panel(text boxes, comments, control labels)?
    I know in executables, the font size is standardized by the browser, but I find it odd that it works at first but then resets 'after a few days'
    Looks like this user is having the same problem...I'll take a look into this when I get a chance, but any more information woul be useful.

    If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes.  Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

    You don't need to maintain all versions of the upgrade chain, but many of us do in case we need to work on a legacy file. If you want to rmove a version, though, ti should be done BEFORE installing the later one. Just reinstall CS5 and things should get back to normal.
