Automated big letter in the beginning of the Chapter

Is there some existing option in iBooks Author which can make that possible:
I mean apart from puting "M" as an intext image.

No!
But there is a workaround..... first open a text box, type in the letter and adjust its size, font colour etc.
Remove the first letter from your text. Minimise the text box size and drag into place, you will need to adjust the wrap etc to make it work.

    I assume you are in the Songs view? That's really the only view that uses this function.
    Try closing the Music (double click the home button to open the app tray. Scroll it left or right until you find the Music app, tap and hold until the app icons wiggle, then tap the X to close it.
    Try a reset of the iPad - Simultaneously hold down the Home and the On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignor the off slider. Then turn the iPad back on.
    Check your sorting (the More button at the bottom right of the music app. If Sort by artist is set, true it off and see what the results are. It is possible your music ins't properly tagged.

  • Hi - When I go into Contacts and type a letter in the search bar to get to last names that begin with that letter I get a list of random names that don't correlate to the letter. My settings are fine.  Help ?

    Hi. When I go into my contacts and type a letter in the saerch bar to get to a list of last names that begin with that letter I get a list of random names that don't begin or end with the letter.  My Settings appear fine.  Any insights would be greatly appreciated.  Cheers Bill

    The search bar is not designed to take you to names beginning with the letter you put in. If you want to do that, use the letters down the side. In the search bar, the device will return results for all contacts that have that have that letter in them. If you type a couple of letters of the name, you'll find what you want faster. Once you get used to how it works, it's quite efficient.
    Best of luck.

  • I have version 3.6.16 and when I login to my hotmail account, and type the first letter of the email address, a drop down box appears with my hotmail address and I can choose it from that box with a click. How do I get version 4 to do this? Thanks.

    The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
    1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
    2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

  • How do I eliminate the use and creation of big files in the profile - places.sqlite, urlclassifier3.sqlite, places.sqlite-wal?

    I want to eliminate the use and creation of big files in the profile - places.sqlite (10MB), urlclassifier3.sqlite (5MB), places.sqlite-wal (1MB)?
    Ffor urlclassifier, I tried disabling safebrowsing options (in security menu or in about:config), but file remains. Also if deleted it is still re-created with 5 MB.

    The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time

  • When I'm scrolling the main song list, "T" shows up as a letter for "The"

    For example:
    Aaaa
    Abababab
    The Acacac
    Adadad
    You know how when you scroll down, it shows the first letter of the song you're on so you can get to a specific letter? Well, if the first word of the song is "The", that "The" is disregarded, and put where the next word is, like in the AAA abab thing I posted. However when I scroll down, whenever I pass a "The", it shows the letter as "T", then it'll go to whatever the real letter is once I get past the "The's".
    Any ideas? Note: I haven't been able to completely sync, explained here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=881538
    That might be part of the problem (By the way, if you can help with the thing I linked to, please do)

    This is a new feature of iTunes 7.1 called "sort". It appears in the get info section, and allows artists/albums such as "The Beatles" to appear in the 'B' section rather than 'T' in your library when sorting alphabetically, just as it does on your iPod.
    To change this click on the file in question and get info. In the sort tab you will see two columns, on the right is the one you need. For example on the left it should show "The Sweet Escape" and on the right under sort ablums "Sweet Escape". But "the" back in front and it will go back into the 'T' section of your library.
    As of yet I haven't found any way of doing this with multiple files, or automating this process as I spent several hours doing this manually last night.
    Good luck

  • Why so big files in the OCRs from Acrobat X?

    I used Acrobat 8 by many years. Now, I thought maybe was the time to upgrade, and I'm testing Acrobat X. My main use to Acrobat is to scan my own books (photocopy + ADF scan + PDF) and do an OCR scan (usually: exact copy) The reason of this is that I manage maybe 4 or 5.000 books and articles and in my work (history and genealogy) is useful to search the content directly.
    With Acrobat 8, this was done one by one, with certain accuracy.
    With Acrobat X, I try OCR and I noted three big differences:
    1st: The OCR is far better than in the v.8. In the same document where I found after OCR, ie: 50 occurrences, Acrobat X OCR give me now: 150 occurrences to the same word. Nice!!
    2nd: Now, I can do batch OCR. This mean that I can let OCR running a 10 documents list the whole night, or the whole day when I go to office, working one after the other... Nice!!
    I thought I touch the sky... At least I'would OCR all my library...! and all this books downloaded from archive.org and similar ones...
    But all this is nothing compared to:
    3rd: The resultant size of the OCRed files are impossible to manage. A book of 82MB gone to 538MB... As minimum, files doubles the size. With Acrobat 8, maybe gone 10 o 20% up, but not more than double as with the new Acrobat X. I have still 400GB to do OCR... I can't skyrocket this to 1 or 2 TBs...
    I tried: search, exact search and clear scan (no differences) I tried 600, 300 and 75dpi. Even 75dpi was bigger. And illegible, despite at 75dpi at 100%, at least it must appear clear in the screen.
    Im not sure if I must do the upgrade to Acrobat X. Someone can help me? Someone could recommend a specific, commercial software, to do OCR in PDFs, tha don't fat the resultant documents in this way? I can't believe that only text added, can do this.
    Thank you very much,
    Martin

    This is a tough one. One thing to look at is the client side
    buffers and server side buffers. A live stream usually drops data
    to "catch up" to streamtime - buffers size allocated so Im not sure
    how a song can be playing from 15 min ago...
    Are the users that connect up rebuffering alot?
    When troubleshooting try to find the least common
    denominator; see if accessing the stream on the same network is an
    issue. If it's successful, keep moving further away to determine
    what point the bottleneck lies in your network.

  • Pagnation by the first letter of the last name

    Hello,
    I have a report that is Grouped by Cities and then Last Name.  So New York is the city and then all the customers are listed below in Ascending order starting with the first customer who last name begins with the letter A and continues thru to Z and then the next City Starts with it's customers listed A thru Z.
    What I need now is to have the report put the customers on a new page when the first letter of the last name changes.  So New York will have it's cutomers with last names that start with A on page 1 and end on page 2 and New York customers with last names that start with B will start on page 3 and end on 5 and so on.  How do I achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Heather

    So if you have a last name field, and the names are in the detail section simply do this:
    1 - Go to the section expert for the detail section.
    2 - Click on the X-2 button to the right of New Page Before
    3 - In the formula editor use the following (with your last name field instead of my generic fieldname):
      not onfirstrecord;
      LEFT (, 1) <> PREVIOUS (LEFT(, 1))
    4 - Save & close the formula and OK out of the section expert.

  • The BIG failure of the floating point computation

     The Big failure of the floating point computation .... Mmmm
    You are writing some code .. writing a simple function ... and using type Double for your computation. 
    You are then expecting to get a result from your function that is at least close to the exact value ... 
    Are you right ??
    Let see this from an example.
    In my example, I will approximate the value of pi. To do so, I will inscribe a circle into a polygon, starting with an hexagon, and compute the half perimeter of the polygon. this will give me an approximation for pi.
    Then I will in a loop doubling the number of sides of that polygon. Therefore, each iteration will give me a better approximation.
    I will perform this twice, using the same algorithm and the same equation ... with the only difference that I will write that equation in two different form 
    Since I don't want to throw at you equations and algorithm without explanation, here the idea:
    (I wrote that with Word to make it easier to read)
    ====================
    Simple enough ... 
    It is important to understand that the two forms of the equation are mathematically always equal for a given value of "t" ... Since it is in fact the exact same equation written in two different way.
    Now let put these two equations in code
    Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    RichTextBox1.Font = New Font("Consolas", 9)
    RichTextBox2.Font = New Font("Consolas", 9)
    TextBox1.Font = New Font("Consolas", 12)
    TextBox1.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center
    TextBox1.Text = "3.14159265358979323846264338327..."
    Dim tt As Double
    Dim Pi As Double
    '===============================================================
    'Using First Form of the equation
    '===============================================================
    'start with an hexagon
    tt = 1 / Math.Sqrt(3)
    Pi = 6 * tt
    PrintPi(Pi, 0, RichTextBox1)
    'Now we will double the number of sides of the polygon 25 times
    For n = 1 To 25
    tt = (Math.Sqrt((tt ^ 2) + 1) - 1) / tt
    Pi = 6 * (2 ^ n) * tt
    PrintPi(Pi, n, RichTextBox1)
    Next
    '===============================================================
    'Using Second Form of the equation
    '===============================================================
    'start with an hexagon
    tt = 1 / Math.Sqrt(3)
    Pi = 6 * tt
    PrintPi(Pi, 0, RichTextBox2)
    'Now we will double the number of sides of the polygon 25 times
    For n = 1 To 25
    tt = tt / (Math.Sqrt((tt ^ 2) + 1) + 1)
    Pi = 6 * (2 ^ n) * tt
    PrintPi(Pi, n, RichTextBox2)
    Next
    End Sub
    Private Sub PrintPi(t As Double, n As Integer, RTB As RichTextBox)
    Dim S As String = t.ToString("#.00000000000000")
    RTB.AppendText(S & " " & Format((6 * (2 ^ n)), "#,##0").PadLeft(13) & " sides polygon")
    Dim i As Integer = 0
    While S(i) = TextBox1.Text(i)
    i += 1
    End While
    Dim CS = RTB.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(RTB.Lines.Count - 1)
    RTB.SelectionStart = CS
    RTB.SelectionLength = i
    RTB.SelectionColor = Color.Red
    RTB.AppendText(vbCrLf)
    End Sub
    End Class
    The results:
      The text box contains the real value of PI.
      The set of results on the left were obtain with the first form of the equation .. on the right with the second form of the equation
      The red digits show the digits that are exact for pi.
    On the right, where we used the second form of the equation, we see that the result converge nicely toward Pi as the number of sides of the polygon increases.
    But on the left, with the first form of the equation, we see the after just a few iterations, the function stop converging and then start diverging from the expected value.
    What is wrong ... did I made an error in the first form of the equation?  
    Well probably not since this first form of the equation is the one you will find in your math book.
    So, what up here ??
    The problem is this: 
         What is happening is that at each iteration when using the first form, I subtract 1 from the radical, This subtraction always gives a result smaller than 1. Since the type double has a fixed number of digits on the left of the decimal
    point, at each iteration I am loosing precision caused by rounding.
      And after only 25 iterations, I have accumulate such a big rounding error that even the digit on the left of the decimal point is wrong.
    When using the second form of the equation, I am adding 1 to the radical, therefore the value grows and I get no lost of precision.
    So, what should we learn from this ?
       Well, ... we should at least remember that when using floating point to compute a formula, even a simple one, as I show here, we should always check the exactitude of the result. There are some functions that a floating point is unable to evaluate.

    I manually (yes, manually) did the computations with calc.exe. It has a higher accuracy. PI after 25 iterations is 3.1415926535897934934541990520762.
    This means tt = 0.000000015604459512183037864437694609544  compared to 0.0000000138636291675699 computed by the code.
    Armin
    Manually ... 
      You did better than Archimedes.   
      He only got to the 96 sides polygon and gave up. Than he said that PI was 3.1427

  • Open letter to the top management.

    Open letter to the top management Dear Sirs, I bought my BB 9790 four months ago. I really like its design, its QWERTY keyboard, its interface., its features ... but in the opposite direction, I have had problems with the battery, synchronization with Outlook, I can't to implement Skype,... I thought: a Z10?. I'm sorry but I don't like the design absolutely nothing. Where is the QWERTY keyboard?. Now it's tactile. The design is rectangular like the vast majority of SmallPhones. BlackBerry was different, unique, special but the Z10 has lost its essence. . Why high technology is at odds with elegance? Why high technology is at odds with beauty? Sirs, I'm sorry, but your Z10 is not an Blackberry. BlackBerry company has sold its soul with this design. For the near future, I suggest you a new trademark and a new logo ... I'm sorry for being so sincere and express my own opinion about this important matter.. Thank you very much for your time and attention. Yours sincerely,

    This is reproduced from its original location at http://cfmlblog.adamcameron.me/2013/06/censorship-on-adobe-coldfusion-forums.html; it is also posted on the relevant ColdFusion forum. Apologies for the cross-post, but the two forums have different membership, and I think it's relevant to both.
    Open letter to the management of the Adobe ColdFusion forums
    (I do not know how to contact you, but I will try to find out and send this to you directly as well, as a courtesy).
    Hi.
    I am a veteran user of your ColdFusion support forums. Over the last decade or so I have been visiting the site daily (indeed several times a day: I get notified when any post is made on any of your ColdFusion-centric forums), and answering as many of people's questions as I can. For the last few years it's been via the web UI so you can go check my participation, but prior to that I was using the forums via NNTP, and my participation during that period is less easy to quantify, but it's to the tune of a few thousand posts / answers to people's questions. I consider myself an asset to the forums, and the ColdFusion community. I mean this just as "for the record", rather than any attempt to inflate any sense of my worth.
    However as of today - unless you take remedial action as I will go on to detail - I will be surrendering my membership of your forums, and ceasing all attempts to assist people there.
    Why am I considering doing this? Well firstly I will reproduce a thread from your forums, then I will discuss it. Where possibly the quoted material below is as it was initially posted, and if it's not exactly as originally presented, this is an accident on my part. I have highlighted some points I wish to discuss with you, simply for ease of cross-reference.
    I have confirmed with Jason Dean (12Robots) that is happy for me to quote him here. I did not attempt to contact the other participant: "grazan".
    Below is a chronological reproduction of the thread (in its original form, anyhow):
    cold fusion 9 500 Internal server error.
    created by grazan
    all of a sudden none of our cfm web pages work on a windows 8 server running iis 7 .... the
    server shows no errors in the event viewer .... occasionally functionality comes back w/o doing
    anything ...... cold fusion did have all the hotfixes updated a few months ago but i cant get to
    the admin page to give what the version is
    thxs

    First, ColdFusion is one word.
    Second, what is a WIndows 8 server?
    Third, and most important, you have provided ZERO detail. We can't help you if you don't provide something other than "none of our cfm web pages work".  ColdFusion has logs (<coldfusionDir>/logs) JRun has logs (<coldfusionDir>/runtime/logs). Even if the Windows event viewer shows nothing, there should be info in those log files about what is going on.
    Good luck,
    Jason

    Well if you got over your misplaced indignation for a moment, let's see:
    ColdFusion is what people will google for, so in the spirit of helping others who might have the same question as you later on, spelling it right will help the community.
    Jason's observation that you give us absolutely nothing to go on so it's basically impossible to help you is a fairly poignant observation, right? You do want help? Right, so here's some suggestions:
    Articulate your issue clearly, with sufficient detail that we can help you. Read this:
    http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smartquestions.html
    Secondly... being rude to someone like Jason who really is one of the most helpful people on
    these forums is a pretty stupid idea. And just serves to make you look a bit of a dick. Esp. with the caps lock on.
    But anyway, let's call that a false start. Give us the details of your issue, and we'll try to help.
    Cheers.

    And now back to the live thread:
    created by 12Robots
    Forum admin,
    You censored the comment "ColdFusion is one word"?  Seriously?
    I didn't realize that suggesting that someone spell the name of the product correctly was against the forum guidelines.  I guess I could go look it up, but I will just unsubscribe and help out at Stack Overflow instead.
    Good luck,
    Jason

    Please see how much I used to help out on these forums.
    I'm outa here, but not before I complain about your dictatorial behaviour.
    Censorial nazi idiot.
    [The entire message above has now been redacted].
    That's the end of the relevant part of the thread.
    Clearly I wish to speak to you about this censorship your moderator is choosing to undertake.
    Firstly, let me say that I understand the perception that forums require moderation. Personally I think this position is of dubious merit, but so be it: it's a common practice. And I generally understand when I see things that have been moderated, or when a moderator step in and advises that they consider someone's wording contravenes forum guideline. I understand all this.
    However.
    I think the behaviour of your moderator in this situation is unacceptable. Let me elaborate.
    Firstly, The highlighted comment of Jason's was removed. This comment stated - correctly - that the correct spelling of ColdFusion is as one word, as per his guidance. This comment was censored/redacted by your moderator. For the life of me, applying my most "socially modest" mindset, I cannot see what was wrong with Jason's comment, and why it needed any follow-up on any description. It was accurate advice.
    The original poster's response to Jason was indeed a bit gratuitous, but - really - so what? No-one is taking offence here, and there's nothing anyone reasonable could take offence at. The person is just being a bit childish in their response. And, I hasten to add, at their own expense, I think. I see not reason to have redacted what they said.
    We now come to my responses. One entire response I made was redacted (I've only just noticed this, whilst proofreading this letter).  A number of tracts was redacted from my own initial post on the thread. Here I was simply explaining why Jason said what he did, and why it's good advice. And it was good advice. Your moderator here has removed both good advice, and an explanation as to why it was good advice. Again, I cannot fathom why your moderator has done this.
    Following on from this I back-up Jason's assertion that the original post was inadequate on detail for us to help. This too is accurate. I reiterated this to try to make the origial poster see that Jason wasn't simply being unhelpful - to the contrary - pointing out we need more information before we can help is very good initial advice here. Advice that has now been deleted.
    Next is some slightly contentious wording on my part, I suppose... at least if one doesn't actually read what I say, instead simply zooming in on one word and assessing it out of context. I pointed out that being abusive and writing in all-caps is unnecessary, and makes the person look like a dick. Note I didn't say the person was a dick (that would be abuse... very mild though), I was saying that given the behaviour the person was engaging in, they could be perceived that way. Which is... accurate. And saying someone is a dick and suggesting they could be perceived as a dick are two different things. One is ad hominem attack (bad), one is simply an observation / guidance (not bad).
    At this point Jason drew my attention to this censorship going on. And this is another thing that I think is inappropriate on the part of the moderator. I have little problem with them thinking that content on this thread needs censorship (whilst they are wrong, they are entitled to their opinion), to silently and anonymously redact people's posts is an inappropriate - and to be frank cowardly - handling of this situation. If the moderator has an issue with something written on the forums, the courteous and professional thing to do would be to advise the participants that they have overstepped. This would give us a chance to remediate the situation, or to simply disagree. Simply excising someone's work - because this is volunteer work we are engaging in here - is unacceptable.
    If anything ought to have been censored from the thread it was my last comment. Whilst it was accurate, I did use harsh sentiment, I accept this. However in the given situation, I don't think I have been the most out-of-line participant in proceedings.
    I would like you to remediate this situation, and here is how I would like you to do it.
    Restore Jason's original post. There was no reason to censor it.
    Restore grazan's all-caps post. It was doing no harm.
    Restore my second post (not the one laughing at Jason's joke, the longer one I discuss above). Again, useful and accurate information was removed from this post, and there was simply no reason to have had done so.
    You can leave my last comment redacted. Fair enough. Whilst I stand by what I said, it is unhelpful in the context of the thread.
    I also want the moderator to be censured, and I would like them to apologise for their behaviour, by posting on that thread explaining that they understand their behaviour was inappropriate and unacceptable.
    If they are a community volunteer, they should be dismissed from their position. They are clearly not capable of fulfilling this role in a professional, well-balanced manner.
    If they are an Adobe staff person, then the censure will have to be sufficient, although I think they should be relieved from their duties as a forum moderator, as they are not up to the task at hand.
    Talk to your other moderators and advise them they need to act with a sense of balance and professionalism when moderating the forums.
    In return, I will continue my participation on the forums, and continue to help the ColdFusion community members where I can, in the spirit of goodwill and co-operation. I will also try to convince Jason to do the same.
    If you cannot see right to resolve this situation appropriate, I will surrender my membership of the forums and cease helping your community.
    You can reply to me either via a comment against this post, or via email ([email protected]). That said, see the caveats in my communications policy: I reserve the right to publish any communications on this topic as I see fit (within the bounds of common sense).
    Thanks for your time.

    Adam,
    Comments from a kindred spirit...
    I suggest you take a breather and go do something else for a few days or weeks.  Don't stomp your feet and say "I'm done for good, I won't be back", because like it or not, some of the reason you're here is to benefit YOU, and if you do go cold turkey you'll miss that benefit.
    In other words, "never say never".
    Like you, I have been extremely frustrated by the running of the forum from time to time as well.  Sometimes it's the quality of the forum software, sometimes it's the mix of other immature people who comment, sometimes it's just me.  Usually it's not the moderation or actual running of the forum, but I do understand where you're coming from.
    I have benefited greatly on several occasions just by taking a vacation from forum participation.
    We all have to understand two things:
    1.  We're able to communicate here by the good graces of Adobe, who are first and foremost a business, trying to achieve their business goals.  They'd rather not upset all the idiots, because unfortunately idiots have money to spend too.
    2.  Nobody's perfect.
    I'm not sure about the specifics, but the moderators are generally also volunteers.  See item 2 above.
    Hope you don't choose to stop contributing to the community, as no matter what, your contribution is good for the world.
    -Noel

  • I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts.

    I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts. The persons name is not in my contacts and I would like to delete it from popping up. Do you know how I can do this?

    The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it.  But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod.  If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
    This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
