Why will the Type tool not work?





I was working on a project in InDesign, and I needed to use the Type tool. I clicked on it and tried to create a text box on my artboard but nothing would appear. I tried this several times and nothing happened. I have never had this issue before. I read that it may be helpful to "trash" the preferences, so I tried the keyboard shortcut and nothing happened. Everything else appears to be working fine. I am new to this program and don't know anything about how to fix these things. ![](/legacyfs/online/emoticons/happy.png)

Try deleting your InDesign cache files (which is not the same as trashing preferences).To do so:For Macintosh Users: With InDesign closed launch a Finder Window in column view and click on your home folder. With the Option Key pressed choose Library from the Finder Go Menu. Within the Library folder find the “Caches” folder. Within the Caches folder find and delete the entire file “Adobe InDesign”. I find that deleting the cache file completely leads to a lasting change.  For Windows Users: On W...
hey [@jsteb](/u/jsteb), i was struggling with this and i figured what is going on. the problem is with the action button. if you try with a regular button it will work. i think that should be clarified in the tutorial hi tomica, - - i can suggest that you try the following: -     - remove all of the styles to see whether some specific css is affecting the buttons appearance. -     - upgrade to latest telerik ui version - 2015.2.826 - if the above steps, however, do not help it would be better to provide us with a runnable sample that reproduces the issue, so that we can investigate it further. - - regards, - danail vasilev - telerik - - do you want to have your say when we set our development plans? - do you want to know when a feature you care about is added or when a bug fixed? - explore the - telerik feedback portal - and vote to affect the priority of the items - hey [@aravindhrs](/u/aravindhrs) 
after checking the project-structure x-times i found my mistake. 
the processes.xml was created but not in the “meta-inf”-folder. after the correction of this the forms works perfectly.

select the text that you want to change

go to the cut shape tab

click on the shape tab and look at the bottom of the tab and you will see the font name that you have selected

you can pick the font you want.

hope that’s what you were talking about

good luck

russe… pretty simple to do, just select the tabs element which currently has no style to it. add a style and click the center align button for typography. easy peezy. a couple of things to check:

(1) make sure your file realy exists

(2) your file path does not seem to be correct full path, should it be something like c://users/…

(3) you can also try a relative path, namely, copying your tiff file to the same directory as where you start your jupyter. then, use… heh wow, pc world doesn't work for me, must be [censored] off my adblocker something fierce, can't go through the slides.

but yeah a pdf reader only lets you read pdfs or fill out pdf forms. a productivity suite is usually only things like word and excel microsoft office.

a pdf editor, i.e. adobe acrobat, lets you actually make pdfs from scratch, and do things like add in typable boxes so you can make forms people can fill out and print or save and send off. (like a job application or a medical waver or something) i use a mac as well. you can set textedit to ‘plain text’ instead of ‘rich text’ and make sure it’s saving as a utf-8 .txt file in the preferences, but there isn’t an easy way to show the line numbers. if it’s saving as .rtf, that might be one reason your code isn’t working for you currently.

as fo… hi,

do you have joy package installed with all necessary packages/dependencies ?

try to search for joy\_node or run joy package examples to find out what is going wrong. a quick fix is to go into the "device manager" Start-settings-control panel-system-device manager and right click on your keyboard and select delete. when it's deleted restart your pc. You will not be able to use your keyboard until it is reinstalled by your computer let it start up and you will see a little come up that wil say something like found new hardware or found new keyboard. after this you should be able to use as you used to
