Yellow Highlights Behind Text

Hi,
I'm relatively new to InDesign and I've opened up some files sent to me. Some of the text is highlighted. Can you explain why this might be? What eliminates this?
Thank you!

Hey!
InDesign does a bunch of highlighting for different warnings. Here are the main ones:
Pink highlighting means the highlighted font is missing. Very bad.
Amber highlighting means you've got substituted glyphs. That just means that if you typed something and changed the case to small caps, InDesign will substitute a real version of small caps for the formatted one provided your system has it.
There are 3 shades of yellow that indicate hyphenation & justification violations depending on how severe they are.
Also, a bright yellow indicates Keeps violations and Green highlighting means you have weird kerning or tracking.
Does that help? :-)
Check your preferences under Composition. You can turn off the ones you don't want highlighted. I turn off everything except Substituted Fonts (you definitely want to know when the fonts are missing, but the other stuff is according to your own preferences).
I think there's an article around here somewhere on this (I wrote down those color definitions in my notebook). I'll see if I can find it.

Cyan Highlight Behind Text in Design Pane

Hi, Could anyone tell me why some of my pages have a cyan colored highlight behind the text in the design pane. It does not happen to all of my sites and am wondering why this particular site that is doing this, is doing his.
File is a .asp extension, but other asp pages for other sites do not do this. Have checked code rewriting in prefs and do not see an instance where cyan is supposed to be implemented behind text. It's not in the style either and live page looks fine.
Considered putting this thread go in App Dev forum instead but seems a general DW useablity issue as opposed to a dev issue. Please let me know if I should resubmit there.
Using DW CS4 on 64 Bit Vista. What other details can I provide??
thanx,
jeff

The cyan highlighting indicates untranslated live data on a page that contains server-side code. Normally, it is applied only to dynamic text like this:
If it's being applied to ordinary text, it suggests there's something unusual about your server-side code that's causing Dreamweaver to highlight the text in this way. The preference that controls the colour of the highlighting is in the Highlighting category of the Preferences panel.

IDCS3 Mac - Using "All Caps" results in yellow highlighting?

Hello.
When I attempt to use "All Caps" on a typeface (Trade Gothic Bold #2), any letters which are typed in lowercase (and thus become uppercase when I use the "All Caps" toggle) get a non-printing yellow highlighting behind them?
I've checked and the typeface I'm using isn't corrupt, etc. so I'm unsure why these characters are becoming highlighted?
Does anyone know why this would happen & how to fix/disable?
Regards,
Kristin.

Perfect — that did the trick!
Of course, the one option I didn't uncheck (as I didn't even consider it to be a glyph).
Thanks!

Yellow boxes behind all caps text

I had a Quark 6 Mac file converted to ID CS3 Win using Q2ID and when I opened it I replaced the fonts with our own, however wherever the text had the all caps feature used in Quark (I guess) there are yellow boxes behind the letters. I can get rid of them only by selected the text and clicking off the All caps (TT button).
Is there another easier way to keep them as all caps and get rid of yellow boxes?

You have highlight substituted glyphs enabled in your composition
preferences.

Mysterious yellow behind text--not an underline

Hi,
I'm cleaning up a file from another designer (converted from Quark) and I've run into something odd with a Zapf Dingbats character. No matter what I do, a yellow background appears behind all Zapf Dingbats characters in this document. It looks like a yellow highlighter-type style. All of my styles are clean (no custom underlines, etc.)--I rebuilt them from scratch. So I can't think that it's a text attribute.
The yellow disappears in preview mode, so I'm wondering if there's some setting turned on that I don't know about. I'd love to be rid of it. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Jen

That was it exactly. I would never have looked there, and I learned something new. :) Thank you!

Anchored objects behind text

Is there a way to make an anchored box sit behind text? I have a section title with section numbers. I would like to place a piece of art behind all the section numbers. The box always comes out on top. I can create a new paragraph style with autonumbering for the section into it, place it over the art, group it, and then anchor it. The only problem is, now the section numbers won't show up in the running head. Any ideas? I'm using CS3. I used to be able to do this in FrameMaker. Thanks.

Can't be done with anchored objects - sorry.
But you can convert your text to a table - and that can put a background in there.
OR
Use Paragraph Rules to highlight a line of text or a pargraph of text

Accidentally removed trusted yellow highlight tool, how do i restore it?

this evening I accidentally removed (i.e., deleted?) my most trusted YELLOW highlight Tool from PDF toolbar
and cannot find way to restore it. Can someone please provide help to remedy this problem? Thanx

Thank-you Steve. While this worked (i.e., for yellow highlight text) , it appears the larger overriding issue recently occurred with latest acrobat update i.e., the entire customized toolbar was lost. screen resolution/font size is larger (i.e., certain key pop-windows are now too large to activate /i.e., hit "enter" and make desired changes). As well other frequently used tools now appear gone (and are inaccessible) i.e., such as "insert text box"
Is this something that cccurred with latest update or more having to do with my desktop? Hasn't happened before w-previous updates.
Thanks for all assistance.

Images Behind Text in RTF Template

While creating a few rtf templates, I noticed that if an image is to be shown behind text then the image will not render to back to .rtf by bi pub.
If I put the image inline with text, it renders just fine.
Am I missing a step that would allow me to render the image behind text or is it just working as intended?
Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1
Thank you.

How to highlight a text in Pqges?

Hi, does anyone knows how to highlight a text in Pages for iPad??

If you would like to see this very basic function added to Pages for iOS in the future, let the good folks at Apple know of your needs:

TS3899 I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What should I do to correct this issue?

I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What have I done to create, and what should I now do to correct, this issue?

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

Acrobat 9 Pro: Cannot copy highlighted text unless I un-highlight the text

I have highlighted text in a document. When I go to copy that same text, it selects the entire sentence. I right-click, the menu starts with "Set Status." There is no "copy" option. Neither is control-C successful. When I next paste, it pastes a previously selected text, not the text I am attempting to copy in Acrobat. The only way I have found to copy the highlighted text is to un-highlight it, and then copy it. Are there any other solutions?
Thanks!

Thank you! This works. I pressed "shift," then highlighted the text I want to copy, and right-click (while still holding down "shift" key), and "Copy" finally appears in the menu.

Selecting Graphics Behind Text

Hello,
I’m using Pages ’08 and working with a neat, layered, grouped graphic. There are three layers: a dark background graphic, a lighter middle graphic, and white text in a text box on top. All three use the exact same dimensions and are stacked one on top of the other for a total of three layers, grouped. None of the layers cause wrap.
I’d like to select one of the graphics to edit the color and find that I cannot do it without ungrouping the items, moving the text layer out of the way, applying the new color, putting the text layer back in place, and then regrouping everything. It seems like unnecessary steps. It seems as if I should be able to use a modifier key and do a series of clicks to activate the layer that I want, much like when I used QuarkXPress and InDesign. Is there a similar key stroke in Pages?
The user’s manual says “To select a floating object that’s behind text, place the pointer outside the text area, press the Command key, and then drag across the page until the object’s selection handles appear.” That doesn’t solve my concern, though.
I've attached a sample of what my graphic looks like. It would be great if there were key strokes to use. If not I'll have to go back to each instance of the graphic and make changes to each one.
Please let me know if you have an idea of how to make this work.
Thanks,
Scott

Pages does not have any modifier keys to click down through layers like other DTP software.
Unlocking and staggering the layers is the only way. There is an averaging command that does however let you centre them back on top of each other.

Send object behind text

Can you send an object behind text in the Ipad pages app so that the text is over the top of the object?

After some researching I found it more productive to use a
textArea component.
One reason was the UIScrollBar is attached to it so
dynamicallt resizing and moving is a breeze.
I looked into the movieclip method swapDepths() to change the
depth of movieclips and found
it may be useful down the road.
The main point of this thread was the dynamic UIScrollBar
sitting on top of the area when created.
With a dynamic textArea it positions itself acording to the
Layer hiarcy. Add setSyles and there is
no reason I see to use Dynamic text unless for less
overhead???
Thankyou kglad for you input!
