I have a text box containing text. I know the shortcut to change the leading - alt + arrow keys
To use this shortcut I have to select the text which puts big black blocks through the text and I can't really see the leading.
Is there a way to use this keyboard shortcut without selecting the text and possibly just select the text box?
Is there a way to change the color of the text selection.
I just upgraded to CS6 and my font size and leading shortcut on a Mac (Shift + CMND + >) will only increment by one pixel. How can I change it back to two?

Know I can change the auto leading percentage, but that's rudimentary.
For example, how can I add leading incrementally to this column without a lot of tedious selecting and style editing?
I've just installed GIMP to see if it can replace Photoshop for me. But I experience some weird troubles. When I try to use the text tool I can't type anything because all the keys acts as shortcut keys. Aren't these supposed to be overridden when using things like the text tool? I also have the same problems with dialog boxes. The tab key is used to hide toolbars, but when I open dialog boxes I would rather want to use tab to jump from one input box to another. Plus I couldn't enter numbers because the number keys was shortcuts for zoom level.I guess I'm just doing this all wrong? I'm on OSX Maverick.

Does AI set the leading for all text automatically based on the font size and the font selected? Does the font designer set this so that the leading is determined by him/her?
2. At what point do you generally want to adjust the leading? The art board on the left is set to 21.6 and the one on the right is set to 25. It creates a bit more breathing room/white space. How do you know when you are setting it too high?

There are years since I worked in CorelDraw. However, recently I got a project from a client. I have to implement 14 languages translations into a document. The work is, so far, Copy/Paste from MS Word, paragraph by paragraph. I didn't find a better way, yet.
At a point I run into a problem. Inside a Paragraph Text frame the text has a strange leading, or something (See attachment).
I thought I once knew how to change the leading of an individual letter in a text, but now I can't remember how to. Do you know the short cut? An example would be using the word Tooth and changing the T to have the top aligned with the cross of the other t in the word!

I was shown once that you could put a rectangle around the selection, hold a button down and hit a key and the selected area surrounds the object perfectly.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a type layer with some text in it (a headline, let's say). I click on the layer, I click on the Character Panel, and first thing I see is the color in the Panel is not the color of the font in the layer.
I then click on any Panel property, and the text in this layer is replaced by text from another layer in my document ( a paragraph layer, let's say), but the color is not the same as the layer the text came from.
In PS CS6 you could hide a selection with command h. In PS CC that no longer works. What is the new keyboard equivalent.
View 2 Replies View Relatedthrough some difficulty I'm having in getting the leading (ie, line spacing) I want with artistic text, in CorelDraw 12? I have three lines of text, the first line of which has a font size of 20 pt, and the second and third lines having a font size of 13 pt. The default leading is greater between the first and second lines than between the second and third -- probably due to the font size difference. I would like to make the leading equal for all lines, regardless of font size, but can't figure out how to do that. "Format Text - Spacing - Lines" seems to offer leading only in relation to character height -- which automatically makes the leading between the first and second line larger (due to the larger font size used in the first line) than it is between the subsequent lines.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIn Illustrator CS6 I established a keyboard shortcut of Alt+Shift+Ctrl+= to the command Type-->Change Case-->UPPERCASE (and Alt+Shift+Ctrl+- to Type-->Change Case-->Title Case). In Illustrator CC, these two keyboard shortcuts are not working. They are displaying in the Type menu correctly, and the menu commands themselves work correctly, but the shortcuts do not work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just recently downloaded InDesign CC (I use Mac OSX.9.2) and got the World Tools plugin to typeset in different languages.
However, I am having trouble using the selection and type tools. In about the first half of the file, the type tool displays the pointer/dashed box/I-beam icon and doesn't put the cursor in the text when I click on it. I can't click to select text as I should be able to, and if I try to click and drag, all I do is end up creating another text frame. But in about the second half of the file, the selection and type tools work the way they should.
When I click and hold on the type tool, the cursor changes to the crosshairs icon for creating text frames and the "W: H: " dialogue box for text frames appears.
How can I get the tools to work properly in the entire document?
My question is, if there any tool /command, utility in autocad to select all objects of one type at one time : for example all text objects or all dimention objects if these objects on different layers and have different properties. in my work I have to insert many blocks(not annotative) or parts of drawings which were created by other people and have different from mine settings and properties of text and dimention objects. the insertions add so many layers and objects that I spend lots of time to correct them and to figure it out.
is there any way( command, utility) to select and manage all of these objects at one time?
P.S.i think it is very unconvenient that the plain autocad does not have dimentions and text as families or some sort of groups that s easy to manage.
In the properties drop down list for wall type selection, most of the different wall type are not showing. Also my elevation carmera is not showing when i click on a new drawing. In a previous drawing all walls selection type is there and the elevation camera. Only when i start a new drawing when wall type and elevation camera is missing. I check the interface to make sure the boxes are check.

I notice with GIMP 2.8 that I can't type in numeric values if I want to scale/rotate/etc. a selection. I can use the mouse to manipulate my selection freely, but I'm pretty out of luck if I want an exact value (though I know that I can hold Ctrl for certain snapping, which is extremely useful).
