Illustrator :: Highlighting / Selecting Text In CS3?
Oct 26, 2011
In several instances I can't highlight text to copy or to edit, other times it works fine. If I click the radio button for the text in layers (other layers may be locked to prevent accidental selection), the baselines appears and I should be able to highlight the text, but I can't. If I highlight some other unaffected area of text successfully (unlocked layers), sometimes it will allow me to select the problem text directly after.

1. Lately I can't resize an object. The surrounding border of the object is with filled rectanglers and not with hollow rectangler.Thus, I can't resize objects - how can I fix it ?
2. When I try to mark text, it's mark it perfectly but I can't see the higlighting even though I choose it. How can I mark text and see the text marked (chosen text marked)

How to disable border highlighting when selecting a smart object in the layers panel? Designing pixel-to-pixel is cumbersome when the highlight appears and temporarily extends the size of the shape by 1 px.

Is it really possible that there is no way to highlight text by selecting the text?? Creating and adjusting little rectangles, making them partially transparent, and putting them behind words you want highlighted seems extremely work intensive..... Not to mention having to move and readjust all of them every time you edit the text.....

I am in the middle of a photoshop tutorial about creating flaming text.
On step 20 it tells me to pick the horizontal text tool and I did. So I click and drag to "highlight" the text but all I get is a textbox!

I have an image sitting on a black background.
I also added some text, I like the look of the text highlighted, I mean the white box with the inverted text color & even the image looks aqua blue.
How can I achieve this effect without actually highligting the text...

I am running AutoCAD Structural Detailing 2012. When editting Text or MText, if I try to highlight some part of text, it does highlight BUT it does not show the highlight. What I mean is like if you were to highlight some text of this paragraph, on any internet explorer, it should highlight whatever text with blue. On every other version of AutoCAD, this is also the case. On my AutoCAD, I can highlight the text but it never shows the blue highlight, it does not show it as I am highlighting, nor does not show after I make my selection. If you are very careful you can still select the correct text, but this makes it very hard to know exactly what you are about to edit or delete. I was wondering if there is some setting that may have been in previous AutoCAD that I don't know about that somehow got changed or something?

I want to select all text frames on all visible layers. The script below will select all text frames even in groups but when a layer with text on it is invisible the script will error.(target layer cannot be modified)
if (app.documents.length > 0 ) {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var numTextFrames = 0;
for ( i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++ ) {
textArtRange = doc.textFrames[i];
textArtRange.selected = true;
}
}
So I made this script to select text frames on only the visible layers but it now misses text that is in a group.
var layerCount = activeDocument.layers.length;
var docSelected = activeDocument.selection;
for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i++)
[Code] .....
Why it does not selected textframes in a group when done this way and is there a way to get all textframes selected on all visible layers?

Something that has been missing in Xara since the dawn of time is when you double-click on a word of text and then continue to slide the mouse over to the right, it does nothing. In just about any other Windows program, after highlighting a word, the sliding of the mouse over to the right continues to highlight whole words. Why, oh why, can this not be done in Xara, which is now supposed to be a mature text-handling application? It is infuriating when you have a word at the very beginning of a text box and you are fiddling about trying to get the cursor in front of the first letter of a word when all you should have to do is double-click the word and then continue to slide your mouse over the rest of the text you wish to select.
This is a Windows program. Windows has certain conventions that just about everybody sticks to so that you don't have this hair-pulling, pill-popping, bloody frustration when you switch between programs.

I'm having a problem with Adobe Illustrator CC 17.1.0 with colors, types and groups.
If I select a text or a group and try to change its color, the Fill color stays correct a the panel, but the text or the group maintains the old color, like the screenshot below.
The only way to change color its is selecting all text characters or all group's elements.

I need to create a little application (Not the firt one in .NET but my first one for Autocad in C# .NET).
What do I need to do ?
User select texts on screen. => Making a Selection Set of those selected texts. DONE
For each select text is on screen another text (on another layer) with the same coordinates.
For each text in the first Selection Set, I try to create a second SelectionSet (filtered to select text only, named acPSResPCode) but that SelectionSet stay always null. If I make the SelectionSet without filter I select every lines in the crossing windows, but no text are selected.
Here's my code (PS : Code for AcadMp 2010)
[CommandMethod("SelectionPP")] public void SelectionPP() { //Récupère le document courant, sa base de données, et demarre une transaction Document acDoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Database acCurDb = acDoc.Database; //Récupération de l'éditeur de la base de données courante Editor ed = acDoc.Editor; //Démarre une nouvelle transaction using (Transaction acTrans = acCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()) { //Création
[code].........

This is happening on the two computers here running x5 on windows 7 64 bit. Sometimes when clicking on text that is on an imported pdf, the program will stop responding. The only way to get rid of it is via task manager, and it takes about 3 mins before that will even respond to the kill process button (as in clicking on the corel process and clicking kill process will not do anything for a couple of mins)
The program window will disappear, but the process will still be there using a few hundred megs. You can load a new copy of corel and open a file, but you cant do anything with the file until the old process gets killed.
The computers are brand new i7's with 8gb ram and ati video cards in them fully updated with windows patches and corel is fully patched as well.

I've always used the method to just press the mouse down and scroll over that type I want selected. This can be iffy way to go, but it does look nice. what is selected is highlighted.
Someone showed me a trick of using modifier key (mac, command) and clicking on type icon. but when do this I just see marching ants, and thing get pretty confusing with marching and what can be adjusted. Is there a quick keystroke to select type and see it just highlighted (selected) the way I'm used to without the marching ants.

I select the Text tool (Gimp 2.8) and then I double click to bring up the box that allows me to choose the Font I require. When I use the up and down arrow to find the font that I require GIMP shuts down. It also happens if I don't use the button but use the slider. If I don't save any work before I select the Text tool I lose everything.

I'm having a bit of an annoying issue regarding the text tool. I have a bunch of text layers in an invisible layer group. When I try to create new text in a layer that's outside of this layer group, it will select an existing text layer located wherever I click -- even though the selected text layer is invisible and in another layer group. I simply want to create new text on a new layer wherever I click and not worry about selecting invisible text.

I noticed in Cassel's excellent Wishlist for X6 that she said:
Cassel wrote:since it is possible to have the text too long or otherwise extending outside the image, it is impossible to select the whole text to change the font or the size or the kerning.

A code that scans all through the drawing and selects the texts of the same value regardless of the layer, color, style, ...etc..
Just selecting duplicates for highlighting nothing more.

I tried to use the export function "save for web" in Illustrator CC 17.1.0 for the first time in many weeks.
I created a document with some slices. Strangely, in the dialogue of "save for web", the image preview isn't shown in the original size although the setting is set to 100%. It seems, like the preview is only about 50% of the original image size.
Furthermore, it is impossible to select the specific slices for renaming it. Also setting up the preview to 200% doesnt solve the problem.
I already uninstalled illustrator with the uninstall file and downloaded the software from the cloud again. But the problem still exists. I also created a complete new document without success...
I'm using Mac OS 10.9.1.

I have been given the following graphic: [URL] ....
I have it in an Adobe Illustrator file format. I've never used the program before!
I need to change the red into white and the white into red. How do I do this? I've opened up in illustrator and can't seem to select on specific part. When I try to sellect, it selects everything
The client has asked me to do the work - since the original graphics designer wants to charge a fortune for the changes.

I am running Illustrator CS5 on a brand new quad-core MacBook Pro. When I'm working in an Illustrator file, every time I click on a different object the program freezes for a good 5 seconds (which adds up really quickly and is really annoying.) I first noticed this in a large illustrator file with a lot of different elements, but I was testing it out and it still happens when I have a new document with only two circles in it. One of the circles is selected and I click on the other circle and the program freezes.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS6 (part of Master Collection English-Arabic Enabled) installed on MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Mountain LionI went to Preferences -> Type -> chose Middle East , to enable arabic typing but whenever I choose the Text tool, photoshop freezes, and cpu use reaches 130% ( on Activity Monitor it showed that photoshop using 60% of cpu while "fontd" is up to 70%)I don't know why font daemon is consuming that much of cpu, probably facing problems with building fonts models, I left it for half an hour, but no use.
the corresponding windows version, did not freeze, instead just went alittle quirky heavy for half a minute then back to normal and i was able to use text tool and type in arabic normally
