I tried to buy my book- DEFAULT TEXT -your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. does this mean all my text will not be printed?

Using OSX El Capitain on a desktop iMac. iPhoto 9.6.1

I tried to buy my book-This box appears - DEFAULT TEXT -your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. does this mean all my text will not be printed?


I've been through twice and changed the text from Bradley Hand to chalkboard to Helvetica Neue- which appeared to be the default. Message still appears. I don't know what else to do. This is my third book over the years but the first with this problem. Can someone advise please?

thanks Davina

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

It is not a problem of the fonts. It is problem of the sample text entered by the templates.


The error message means, that there is a text field in your book that is still showing some text included by the template, and you need to replace that text by your text. This textfield might be hidden behind a photo.

if you create a preview of the book, such default text will be omitted. Have you compared the preview to what you are seeing in iPhoto? Text that shows in iPhoto but not in the preview will be such default text.


For example the heading "About this Book" on the back flap in some themes is a default text that would need replacing by your own caption:

IM not sure which theme I'm using as I first tried to use the new Photos but couldn't get on with the tiny pictures so I switched back to iPhoto. I'm going to do what you suggested right now. I'm thinking that if it says the default text won't be printed that my text will be. I was worried none of my text would print. What do you think Leonie?
