Is it possible to create different font styles within the same text field?

The form I am creating is getting really complex because when different fields require different font treatments (bold, italic, different font size, different font) I have to create a seperate text box and get it to align with the others. This wouldn't be an issue in most cases but this form is really detailed and has many text boxes. Before I stuggle too much longer on it, I thought I would check and see if there is a way to make them all in the same text field. If not, perhaps I am trying to use Acrobat for something it is not meant for. Any recommendations on other programs I could use? Thanks

Thank you try76. I'm not sure if I did it correctly. As soon as I tick the Rich Text Formatting box it automatically changes the appearance of the text in the field (Helvetica Light to something like Helvetica Heavy) I can't seem to get the font back to Helvetica light or change the font size while the Rich Text Formatting box is ticked.

How to use different font styles in the same boolean text?

Hi all,
As reported here http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6BD344ACA4DEE20A8625692700737E16, it is possible to change font color, size or other font properties of a subtext in a string indicator. This can be applied to a caption too.
I'd like to apply this properties to a boolean text but it does not work. The boolean control has the Text.selectionStart and End property node but it does not appear to function.
Can you help me?
Thanks all

This is a bug in the development environment (I think it showed up around LV8).
There's a workaround, but it seems to work intermittently: Place some floating text on your front panel, then edit it's font styles. Select and copy the floating text. Select the boolean text (double click on it). Paste.

How do you get 2 different link colors on the same page in DW CS4

Hi
After creating a white link called “white link test” in a blue background, I need to create a blue link called “blue link test” in a white background. How do I accomplish this task In DW CS4? I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thank you
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="apDiv1"><a href="file:///C|/wamp/www/laserzone/public_html/add_maintenance.php">white link test</a></div>
<p> </p>
<p>blue link test</p>
</body>
</html>

Nothing has changed. A stylesheet is still a stylesheet. And pseudo-classes are still pseudo-classes.
You need to define a set of link states (link, visted, hover, active) for each ID or class name required.
Let's say you want to have red links in your #header and white links in your #footer.
CSS:
#header a {text-decoration:none}
#header a:link {color:red} /**unvisited**/
#header a:visited {color:gray} /**visited**/
#header a:hover, /**on mouse over**/
#header a:active, /**on click**/
#header a:focus {text-decoration:underline}
#footer a {text-decoration:none}
#footer a:link {color:white}
#footer a:visited {color:yellow}
#footer a:hover,
#footer a:active,
#footer a:focus {text-decoration:underline}
HTML:
<div id="header">
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
</div>
<div id="footer">
<a href="some-link.html">Footer link</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Footer link</a> |
<a href="some-link.html">Footer link</a> |
</div>

Data Merge a Font Color with the actual text

I am absolutely new to Java Scripting and have been away from programming for a number of year.
I am trying to data merge chacteristics of the data being merged. Is this possible?
A quick example would be to have a data source that has text for a simple text box (easy to merge) and other fields that contain the CMYK color values that I want that text to be in.
Can someone please let me know if this would even be possible in InDesign? If so, how hard a script is this to write?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a feeling the user is talking about the notification bubble - which incorporates the sender's details on the top of the message (it will look like they're bunched together). In this case since the receipient does not have the user as a contact, the phone number is shown.
In the case where it has disappeared - the user is now looking into the messages app and only see the message and the phone number separate..

How to change Font Type of the Title Text of a JFrame?

Hi,
I want to set a different Font Type for the Title text of the titlebar of my JFrame.
Is it possible? Can anyone show me how if it is?
Thanks.
Niteen

Michael,
Thanks. It works!
But there was a problem. I was not using the :-
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
so I have to use it now.
Is it possible to do it without the default decorated look and feel? Because the default LNF title bar has too much height and I am cramped for space.
I know that's no excuse. I tried but it doesn't work.. I am using a extended JFrame like this:-
class Testing extends JFrame
public Testing()
setSize(300,100);
setLocation(400,200);
Container container = getContentPane();
/* add components to this container here */
setVisible(true);
When I use getComponent() for the container, I get an ArrayIndexOutOfBound Exception.
When I set the argument to getComponent(0), the font in the title bar is not changed.
What else should I do?
Thanks.
Niteen.

Change font color in the Text Field of a Popup Key LOV

Hello,
I have a question concerning Popup Key LOV.
I want to change the font color in the Text Field of the Popup Key LOV Item.
I searched the forum but I cannot find an answer about this! Although I searched the CSS and the Popup Key LOV Template, but I do not know where to modify the font color.
Has anyone an idea how to solve that problem?
Regards,
Tim

Hey,
thank for your reply!
I use style="color:#000000;" and it work in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer 7.0!
And that is not the first time, that there are differences in displaying those tags in the HTML Form Element Attributes and in css files, etc.
Does anybody know I to solve that?
Thank you,

Leading in Pages. I've just discovered that different typefaces seem to have different auto-leading in Pages. I am used to default leading being 120% of point size, but it seems this is not so any more. The same text in 10pt Times New Roman, which I would

I've just discovered that different typefaces seem to have different auto-leading in Pages. I am used to default leading being 120% of point size (or some consistent rule), but it seems this is not so any more. The same text in 10pt Times New Roman, which I would expect to line up with 10pt Palatino, for example, doesn't. I've tried using the inspector, at least to get both faces to behave the same for given settings, but I haven't been able to. How much control does Pages allow for this type of settings, and are there any hidden secrets as to how to do so? Many thanks

If you set the line spacing in the inspector to Exactly and 12 points for 10 point type, it will work the way you want.

Using more than one web font in the same text field

I know I can do something like this when calling more than one weight in a web font:
sym.$('copy').html('<span style="font-weight: 700;">Adobe</span> | About Us')
And the word Adobe will be bolder than About Us. But what about using more than one font in the same text field? I tried this:
sym.$('copy').html('<span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;">UHLIG</span> | About Us')
Now that doesn't work and I get a SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
I then tried
sym.$('copy').html('<span style="font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif;">UHLIG</span> | About Us')
and the text rendered but whatever was selected in the font menu was what got displayed.
Is there a way around this to display two different fonts, web fonts or not, in the same field?

Hey, ladobeugm-
One thing to note is that you probably need to escape the quotes in your span tag. What you have is an issue with quotation marks - for instance, all JavaScript sees is <span style="font-family: in your first string, and only sees <span style="font-family: " in your second. Play around with escaping to see if you can get your span to work.
Hope that helps,

How can I type in a different font color in existing document without the color changing back to black?

I am editting a document and want to type in red. However, the font color keeps changing back to black once I am done with the section, or when I scroll down.
I do not want to use "comment" function.
Could anyone tell me how to set a font color without changing?
Thank you

When you place the cursor in a block of text, it adopts the style attributes of the surrounding text; most of the time, for most users, this is the desired behavior.
It sounds like you want to use change tracking, which displays your additions to the text in a contrasting color, until you choose to accept (or reject) the changes. It might be worth looking into that.
If, as I read your question, you want to be able to place the cursor into various places in the text and type text that is really styled in a different color, I can think of two options that might help a little with that.
You can set a Character Style for the alternate color, and apply that after inserting the cursor, before typing. If you want, the Character Style can be assigned a keyboard shortcut.
You could also copy a single character with the desired font color to the clipboard and then after inserting the cursor, Paste and Delete (⌘V,⌫), which will allow you to continue to type in your preferred color. Of course, this only works if you don't need the clipboard for anything else.

Different font colors in landscape not possible - SERIOUSLY??

Hi Ive just been checking my portrait versions of a textbook and wow... there seems NO way to have different font colors in portrait and landscape??
Thats totally insane. I'll explain why...
IN landscape you can (and should) have full bleed photos and text on top which needs to be an approrpiate colour to stand out against the background image. You can even be a good boy and create a new style to keep things tidy. So far so good.
THEN you go into Portrait edit mode and find the text (now white) has vanished on the *COMPULSORY* (lets not forget) white background for the portrait mode. SO OK , you create a new style for that body text set it to black and carry on right? Nope. It forces the same style on the same text back in landscape which then is black <sigh> and so your're screwed again...
Conclusion? We must ONLY ever use black text EVER in Landscape and Portrait? If I'm right we have a major design inconsistency - and add to that a further inconsistency that the section templates CAN be edited in Landscape mode but 'though shalt not edit the section pages in Portrait' uhmmm.. okayyy.. why?
I'm sure I have this wrong. *Please* tell me I have this wrong.... or let me have a workaround.
P.S. has anyone else found about a dozen bugs in iBA 1.1?
P.P.S. I'm aware I can disable portrait - Dont want to thanks ;-) . Its half the books viewing options.

I hav become a familar rapoteur on these bugs (sorry design inconsistencies) on the report page - is there a list (official or unofficial) where we can see which bugs others have reported to save us pulling our hair out for hours?
I will say that for years I reported loads of bugs for Final Cut 7 etc (as Apple is short of a few bucks and needs free debugging) - and look what happened to FCP
"Final Cut-Toyz-R-Us-Pro"
Anyway, that sounds like a mini-rant. Thanks KT. Your help is legendary here

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

How to Change the Font Color in the Podcast Archive Subheadings

If you go to pages.sparcc.org/The _Sanctuary, you will notice that the font colors in the subheadings are red. I was able to change them to the green everyone wanted except for the red "Archives". How can I change them?

Unfortunately, the text stylings for both the main blog index page as well as the archive page are controlled by the template. If you want, you can edit the xml template files buried in the iWeb application itself, but there is no way to do this from within iWeb directly.

Two Different Imported TIFFs Show The Same Image in Premiere Pro

I noticed sometime ago that some imported TIFFs with alpha channel are not showing the correct image. Recently I upgraded to Premiere Pro CC (for PC) to see if such issue was solved, however it is not.
Basically just importing the TIFFs into the project panel results in Premiere showing the same text even though the actual TIFF files contain different text. This is quite bizarre. No other software (including FinalCut Pro) displays such odd behavior.
I have uploaded the two TIFFs that replicate this issue consinstently here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2IT1EAcyLlBZXRlMDkxNzY3d1U&usp=sharing
To replicate, just create an new empty project and import these two TIFF files. You will notice that both show the same text within Premiere while outside they indeed show the different data.
Anybody has any clues on why this is happening and on how to solve it?
Thanks in advance for any help and clues.
Valerio

Thanks for your reply.
At this moment we can't export PNGs with an Alpha channel so we are stuck with TIFFs.
It is a bizarre issue though.
Here is a Dropbox link for the images, seems Google Drive download links are buried deep:
