Wrapping and auto-shrinking text in a text box??

Hi -I'm new to using Pages and have a question that I couldn't track down the answer to in the Pages manual. When I am using a text box, I want to automatically have the text wrap and shrink. I can't resize the text box larger because of the newsletter layout. I could do this easily in Word when I work with a text box but can't figure out to do it here. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I can't picture what you're trying to do. I understand not resizing the text box, but what is it that you want to wrap & what to shrink?
I think you might be asking how to make the text you've put in the text box to fit the space available. You can "play" with the various adjustments in the text inspector. I find adjusting the line spacing by 0.1 & the character spacing by 1-2% can really make a difference without affecting the readability. Also, you can turn hyphenation on & off in the document inspector. One more thing to try is a different font.
Wrapping of text around the text box or any object is controlled in the wrap inspector. The object must be floating for text to wrap around it.

How to auto shrink text in keynote 6.1

Just updated to keynote 6.1. Does anyone know how to auto-shrink the text???

I believe the auto-shrinking text only works in text placeholders not text boxes or text in shapes, which was also true in Keynote 5.3. When you select a text placeholder, click on the Text tab in the Format panel and then click the Layout button. You will see a "Shrink text to fit" checkbox. Hope that helps.

How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear

Hi Denes,
I just thought that the example you pointed the OP to, is far more complex than what I understood he needs. The OP was talking about using a button, which I thought was a very basic and simple case. Your example is much more complicated. If memory serves, the radio group item, at the time (prior to 3.1 fieldset) behaved differently, so you needed to create a new value retrieving function, and then was the need to preserve the items show/hide status upon reloading the page. In short, I thought maybe I didn’t see the complexity in the OP post, but it seems that his requirement was indeed a simple one.
Regards,
Arie.

Flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box

hi, i hav problem with the flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box. im using macbookpro MAC OS X 10.7.5. i've search for solutions, lik relaunch the finder by pressing COMMAND+ALT+esc, but it didn't work for me...
any1 can help me, thx...

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

I am so frustrated. I put ab object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens. It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing,

It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing, I create an object and then try and elect it to make it bigger etc and cannot. I know it must be something system wide as it happens in apps other than Pages.

I want to duplicate and repeat a text box - up, down, left, right

I inserted (and sized) a text box on a page.
Now I want to duplicate and repeat the same size box over and over again in any direction.
There must be a way....right?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

FN:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Select the original box and type Command-D (duplicate). Move the copy to where you want. Then select the copy and type Command-D again. The next copy will be located in relation to copy 1 as copy 1 was to the original. Keep typing Command-D until you get the number you want.

I keep getting crashes and error messages when trying to use LiveCycle. So far, the most I have been able to is create and name 3 text boxes.

Despite having uninstalled, reinstalled, change compatibility, run as admin and a host of other "fixes", LC keeps crashing, closing out and otherwise failing to operate. At this point the most I have been able to accomplish has been inserting 3 text boxes and then naming them. As soon as I change the caption name on the 3rd box (or sooner) the program stops working and I get the wonderful message from windows telling me, the program has stopped. I needed the extra input from Windows because, you know, when the program crashes I was just thinking it was naptime. 2.5 hours I have spent so far trying to fix this. Someone please help me!!

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

Keep Formatting during Copy and Paste in Text Box

Hi everyone,
I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI v11.0.0 on Windows 7.
When I am copying and pasting numbers and text within the same text box, I lose the original formatting. How can I paste with the formatting retained? For example, if I copy Bold1234subscript , pasting within the same text box gives me Bold1234Subscript.
However, formatting is preserved when I copy and paste the entire text box.
Thank you very much!

As far as I know you can't do that. In any case, it sounds like you are trying to use Acrobat in a way that is not part of its design. Go back to your original document and edit that, then create a new PDF.

How can type a word on an image in Ps and change the text box background

How can I type a word on an Image in Ps and change the background of the text box

Photoshop doesnt have an ability to fill a text box so you will have to create a layer underneath the text layer. A shape layer work work well. That can be filled and stroked quite easily with editability.

BUG: Can't cut and paste custom text boxes

So this is really annoying.
- Create a text box.
- Set a custom text color, font and size
- Postion correctly.
Now I want to copy the text box to another page to maintain my text style. I can copy, but when I paste nothing happens.
Meaning I have to format each and every text box I create manually. Any work arounds?
I must say I do find the book editing tools in Aperture eccentric to say the least. No multi-select, no align/distribute etc. - I hope for some better page layout tools in the future. They don't have to be complex - just the basics.

Eccentric? Yup, my feelings exactly. Copy and paste in Aperture's layout tool is hit and miss - and as far as I know it's the only Mac app that behaves in this way, which is very strange indeed.
I just tried a workaround by saving the page with custom text as a new page master: it doesn't work!
Aperture only saves where the text box is located but all text formating reverts back to the theme's default... There's also no way to save custom text styles.
What will work is duplicating the page that contains the styled text box you'd like to keep. But then you need to change all the rest of the layout around it manually, which may take even longer.
It's nice to have a layout tool in Aperture. But considering what Apple has at its disposal, the implementation is extremely frustrating...

Load text and color into text box

I am trying to create code that will load text from an external file and change the background of a text box when a button is clicked.
When I compile the movie and click the button some text appears in the text box but not the text I was extecting and there is no color change.
The output panel displays the following message
"Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts"
So far I am just trying to get the blue button to work
This is the code
Thanks
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
var drawLine:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var color:Number = 0x6600cc
addChildAt(drawLine, 1);
//addChildAt(blackRectangle, 0);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);
function startDrawing(event:MouseEvent):void{
drawLine.graphics.lineStyle(3, color);
drawLine.graphics.moveTo(mouseX, mouseY);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, makeLine);
function makeLine(event:MouseEvent):void{
drawLine.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
function stopDrawing(event:MouseEvent):void{
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, makeLine);
blueBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, colorBlue);
function colorBlue(event:MouseEvent):void{
          color = 0x0000ff;
          textLoad("../text/colorBlue.txt", color);
redBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, colorRed);
function colorRed(event:MouseEvent):void{
          color = 0xff0000;
randomBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, colorRandom);
function colorRandom(event:MouseEvent):void{
          color = Math.random()*0xff55aa;
clearBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clearScreen);
function clearScreen(event:MouseEvent):void{
drawLine.graphics.clear();
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
function textLoad(file:String, color:uint):void{
          loader.load(new URLRequest(file));
          colorText.backgroundColor = color;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, displayText);
function displayText(e:Event):void{
          colorText.text = loader.data;

As far as the text goes, embed the font for the textfield ti get rid of the warning.
If you are not getting the background color to change, did you give your textfield a background to begin with? The code you have to change its color will work if it has a background.

Translation for OVS and auto-validation texts doesn't working.

Hello SDN!
There're two issues with translation.
First issue arised in OVS screen. I always get english text (I mean "Advanced search" and text for buttons) although my Webdynpro DC was created with russian language. Also only russian language set in browser. As I know it's impossible to change standart text in OVS but it could be displayed in other language.
Second issue arised in auto-validation. We have a node element which type came from dictionary of imported ARFC model. For example this type is a date. So when user entered invalid date (i.e. 30.02.2010), auto-validation processed and show error message that entered date has unappropriate format. Auto-validation is a great tool but error message displayed in english. But my requirements are that such messages of auto-validation must be displayed in russian language... Is it possible?

Auto-fill text box field values based on pulldown selection

Trying to fill in address, city, state, zip text fields based on option selected in a select form field. The following code works great in Internet Explorer, but in Chrome or Firefox, after making selection, text fields are populated with the word "undefined."
I've found a PHP version of Jquery script here that would probabably fit the bill.

Maybe someone has a CF version they could share?
Thanks in advance to any who can point me to a solution for this code, or a better way to accomplish my need.

            // assume first item is empty

Thanks a million for the help Steve, the array is being created in source as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
var addresses = [
   "locationName": "Airport Park School",
   "locationAddress": "",
   "locationCity": "",
   "locationState": "WI",
   "locationZip": ""
   "locationName": "American Legion Golf Course",
   "locationAddress": "1001 Golf Club Road",
   "locationCity": "Wausau",
   "locationState": "WI",
   "locationZip": "54403"
but I'm lost at the
// reference as address[index].locationName...address[index].locationZip where index = 0-[arraysize-1]
direction, and just to double check, you named the Javascript var "addresses", so the "reference as address" s/b "reference as addresses" right?
I've tried many iterations of "onchange" adding other variables (locationCity, locationZip, etc.) but coming up empty.
Anyway, I wish I could buy you a beer or two for the help . . .
Here's where I'm at, which ain't working. If you have a minute to look over, it would be MUCH appreciated. Try not to laugh at my (what's probably ugly) Javascript code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<cfset variables.fs = "" />

   "locationState": "#jsStringFormat(locationState)#",
   "locationZip": "#jsStringFormat(locationZip)#"
<cfset variables.fs = "," />
</cfoutput>
// reference as address[index].locationName...address[index].locationZip where index = 0-[arraysize-1]
</script>
