For some reason, whenever I create a Text Box and start typing, the background text is highlighted white and I can't make it transparent. This picture should explain everything:
I want to remove the highlighting so the gradient in the background shows through. I used to do things like this a lot, but for some reason Word won't let me now. Any suggestions?
I am on Word 2011 Mac
Got some clues here and finally found a solution for MSWord for Mac version 16.9:
Select the text you want to fix
Select "Design" Tab
Click "Page Borders"
Click the "Shading" Tab
Select Apply to "Text"
[Fill] is showing "No Color". Open the selection and re-select "No Color"
Hit "OK"
Worked for me. It is obviously a bug in Word.
Right-click the text box that you want to make invisible.
If you want to change multiple text boxes, click the first text box or shape, and then press and hold SHIFT while you click the other text boxes.
On the shortcut menu, click Format Text Box.
On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Fill section, click the arrow next to Color, and then click No Color.
On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Line section, click the arrow next to Color, and then click No Color.
Click OK. Your textbox's background is now invisible...
It seems the actual text highlight is your problem, so try:
Go into Borders and Shading, apply it to text, and set it to clear. Had me confused because I've never had to do this before.
As seen here.
I also searched around and had trouble finding this.
In Word for Mac 2011
Highlight the text
Click tables in the ribbon
Find the shading icon (looks like a paint bucket)
Click the down arrow next to the bucket and select No Fill
Change the text format from anything apart from Normal text.(important)
Solution 1
Select the Text box and go to the "format" tab,
modify the outline and fill options
if this isn't enough
Solution 2
select the Text box and right click for options
select the last option "format shape"

I have a report containing an inserted picture.
There is a specific portion of the picture I wish to eliminate; in a sense, I want to 'erase' a portion of some text that is in the picture.
And, ultimately, I would like the option to insert a text box and do a 'custom replace' of that text within the picture.
So far, I inserted a text box with some text, but the picture shows through and I see double text.
The best option for you would be to edit the file that was originally used to insert the picture into your report. This will require some kind of editing software though. Once you have made the edits to the original picture, you may then remove the inserted picture from your report and then insert it anew using the new version of the picture.
If editing the image is not an option you could effectively cover up a portion of the picture using a Text Box object. However, by default a text box object will have no background color set, which makes it transparent. This is why you see the image behind the text box you inserted into your report. If you right click the text box and then select "Format Text" to open the Format Editor window. Then go to the "Border" tab in the Format Editor window and click the check "Background" checkbox in the Color group, then use the drop-down to select the background color for your text box object. You will likely want to use white as the background color unless your report has some other background color you need to match.
I am unable to perform multi-file text search and replace (in Visual Studio).
In the past, when I opened the "Replace in Files" dialog, there were 4 buttons in the lower right. One of the bottom two buttons allowed me to "Replace All".
The two lower buttons (including "Replace All") are no longer present.
I believe this occurred after I changed some Windows settings so that I could use menus without the Magnifier.
It is not just a matter of the buttons being off-screen because the window is too large (although it is too large - they would be off-screen, if they were present).
I can drag the window and see the bottom, even though the top is then off-screen (I use AltWindowDrag, allowing me to hold the ALT key, and drag by any part of the window, not just the title bar).
The two lower buttons are not present. I'm unable to resize the window - when I try, nothing happens, or the window repositions so that I can see the title bar, but can no longer see the bottom.
The two buttons that are still present (Find Next and Replace) don't have keyboard shortcuts, so I presume that Replace All doesn't either. Nor can I select either of those two buttons using Tab, so probably can't select an "invisible" "Replace All" button that way.
Any help appreciated.
You can use Find and Replace by pressing Ctrl+H and to Replace All just use Alt+A.
In Android/Eclipse, if I single click on a word, all of its occurrences are color highlighted throughout the file.
Is the same possible in Xcode?
Is there a plugin for achieving it?
Is there any Automator Script/Service to achieve this ?
In xcode click into the word and then hover over it and you should see a little dropdown arrow appear to the right of the word. Click this arrow and choose 'edit all in scope'. This will highlight all occurrences in the file... and let you edit them all at once.
I'm using Xcode 4.6. In a window I keep getting this "view is clipping its content" error and when I click on it, the XIB editor highlights a label. What is this error trying to tell me and how to I fix it?
First, clicking on the text "View is clipping..." will select the control that has the issue. it happens when you resize a text field too small for the inner text field cell to fit in. enlarging the control makes warning disappear. you can also select the inner cell and go to size inspector to see if there are options to make it smaller to match your desired overall size.
You have a carriage return / newline at the end of the text in your label. That empty line is part of the "content" which is larger than the "view". Get rid of your extra newline and you'll take care of this.
It's telling you that your constraints hasn't been set up correctly. You can resolve the by clicking on the view in question, then clicking on the small icon at the bottom and choose: "Reset to suggested constraints"
Or you could click on the little small orange (or red) arrow in your Document Outline (the list to the left of your view that shows all views), then click on Resolve Issue
As you can see at the following picture when I search for a word with "Find Next" button the highlight on the word I'm searching is very faded and difficult to see.
but when I search it with F3 I can see the highlight better because it's on blue background.
Is there any way to apply the blue background also on "Find Next" button??
Thanks!
I think the setting you're looking for is Tools->Options->Environment->Fonts and Colors->Show Settings for Text Editor->Inactive Selected Text.
I switched mine to the red colour that you see in the screenshot below as a test but from your question description you'll want to set Inactive Selected Text to the same value as Selected Text.
