How do I prevent Pages from pushing paragraphs to next page when they would otherwise begin on the last line of the previous page?

I am writing papers for school which have strict page limits so I can't afford to be losing lines at the bottom of a page because Pages thinks it looks better to have a new paragraph start on the next page. It does this automatically and I have to go back and manually format to get the first line of the paragraph to start on the last line of the previous page. This then creates problems down the line when I am editing so I would really like to be able to turn the feature off.
e.g. with Pages auto-formatting
-----page 1-----
     Paragraph #1 blah blah
blah blah blah
     Paragraph #2 blah blah
blah blah blah
-----page 2-----
     Paragraph #3 blah blah
blah blah
e.g. after manual formatting
-----page 1-----
     Paragraph #1 blah blah
blah blah blah
     Paragraph #2 blah blah
blah blah blah
     Paragraph #3 blah blah
-----page 2-----
blah blah

How to only read the last line in the text file by using BufferedReader ?

Dear all,
Hello, I am new to Java. Do anybody know how to read the last line (this is the last record) in the text file.The method I am now using is reading from the first line until I reach the last line in the text file. Thank you!!
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("c:\\sdk1.4.1\\bin\\dbExport.txt"));
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("c:\\sdk1.4.1\\bin\\dbExport.txt"));
String input;
String firstinput;
String secondinput;
int count=90;
int year=1955;
while ((input = br.readLine()) != null) {
firstinput = input.substring(0, 10);
secondinput = input.substring(10);
String insertStore1 = ("INSERT INTO AUTHORS " +
"VALUES ('" + count + "', '" + firstinput + "', '" + secondinput + "', 1955)");
System.out.println(insertStore1);
int result = stmt.executeUpdate(insertStore1);

I suppose you could use a java.io.RandomAccessFile.

How to make the last line of the textarea visible all the time?

Hello,
I am making an online chat application in JSP and XHTML. The chat log and online users� names textareas are refreshed every 5 seconds. When it comes to many messages in the chat log textarea, the scrollbar appears. Then, every time the chat log textarea is refreshed, I need to move the scrollbar down to see the last line of the textarea.
Are there any ideas how to make the last line of the textarea visible all the time without moving the scrollbar?
Thanks in advance.
Dan

I put the below code on the page, but it didn't work.
Are there any ideas? Thanks.

How do I stop my pages from changing (paragraphs breaking, chapters moving) when trying to export?

I'm fairly new to indesign and am self teaching myself via the internet and books. I'm working on a novel layout and I had it finished and what I thought looked nice. The last step was to export it to a PDF format I thought. Well, when I export it and then view the PDF a few paragraphs are broken with a few lines between the first part and second part. Chapters also lose their position. I would go back into InDesign and check and it would be that was in indesign as well. I've fixed it a dozen times. Double and triple checked the pages before hitting export again. Again, more trouble, but it would be in different places. Am I doing something wrong during the export?

Did you start this book in an earlier version if InDesign and convert it? If so, the text engine is different in the new version and stories reflow when you touch them in some way. You can force ID to recompose all stories using the Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl + Alt +/ on Windows or Cmd + Opt + / on Mac, then check carefully throughthe whole thing.
You can also force a recompose by exporting to .idml and opeing that, then saving with a new name. (See Remove minor corruption by exporting)

How do I prevent Acrobat from changing paths to linked files when a PDF is saved locally?

Hi,
I'm creating a PDF for internal company use. Each page will include a button to view a video; the videos themselves will be hosted on an internal network drive.
When I create the button in InDesign, I create an Open File action, browse to the video I want to link to, and it creates (what appears to be) an absolute path to the file. When I export to PDF, the path still appears to be absolute in the button properties, and if I open the PDF directly from its network location, the video button opens the video and works properly.
If the PDF is sent as an attachment or downloaded from the network and saved locally, however, the video links no longer work. The filepath in the button properties still appears to be absolute, but now points to a local folder ("C:\Users\...")
I need users to be able to download and save the PDF locally, but I don't want to embed a dozen videos, for obvious reasons. How can I ensure, then, that the filepaths to the videos are truly absolute and will consistently point to the network location no matter where/how the PDF is saved?

It is relative, but I don't want it to be. The problem is that I don't see any way in either Acrobat or InDesign to specify that it must be absolute.
It sounds like if I were to keep my working file on a local drive and export from there, it would automatically create an absolute link to the network path, but another designer is also working on the project and needs to be able to access the file. I could also copy the entire working folder to a local drive before exporting each time, or manually update the links in Acrobat from a local copy of the PDF after each export... but these both seem like ridiculous extra steps that shouldn't be necessary.
Is it really possible that neither program allows the user to control whether a link is relative or absolute? Should I post this in the InDesign forums, though the issue seems to be in Acrobat?

How can I prevent NULLs from appearing in my HyperTrend graph when restarting DSC engine?

I am continuously logging data to a citadel database using DSC 7.0. Occasionally I need to restart the DSC engine because of a computer reboot, changes to SCF file, etc. Whenever I do this, and then review the data in HDV or with a HyperTrend graph in LV, there is a discontinuity in the traces during the time the DSC engine was not running. Using the cursors, you can see the value during this time is NULL. Generally this is desirable behavior since it indicates that no data was collected during this time period. However, I would like to know if there's setting to just "connect the points" instead of having a NULL in between. The reason is that some memory tags are updated very
infrequently, so the discontinuity appears much longer than just the time the DSC engine was not running. I want to connect the line to make the graph look nicer.

I assume that you mean pop-up windows that might be left unnoticed when they are opened behind the current Firefox window.
You can modify the behavior and change these prefs to open all links in tabs:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow<br />1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
You can change the value of the browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction pref to 0 to open all JavaScript window.open() calls in a tab
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

How do I prevent Acrobat from encoding # in hyperlinks to %23 when generating a PDF from Word 2010?

Existing posts seem to indicate that the only solution is to manually modify each hyperlink in the generated PDF. This is a tedious and time-consuming process that I would like to avoid at any cost. Is there an alternative?

Font changes in the last line of paragraph when printing

InDesign CS3 (5.0.2), Dell P4, 3Ghz, 1gb ram
This is a one page document with about half a page of text and some graphics. When printing to HP Laserjet, everything prints fine. When printing to Lanier 2138 color laser, everything prints fine EXCEPT for the last line of the second paragraph.
The text changes to an unrecognizable font. (The rest of the document uses Trebuchet.) It does happen on the line after a hyphenated word, but we've put the entire word on the last line (eliminating the hyphen) and get the same results.
As I mentioned, the entire page prints perfectly to the HP black and white laserjet. It also prints perfectly to the Lanier 2138 *IF* we create a PDF first and THEN send it to the 2138.
I've checked the knowledgebase and searched this forum, but haven't seen anything related to this issue. Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Todd

Todd,
That field is the font style field, not a "Paragraph" field. It just happens to be next to the button that changes the control panel to paragraph mode.
Is the file you posted the same one you made the jpeg from, or the one where you changed that field to "regular"? I'm thinking the latter, because the paragraph shows regular when I highlight it. Also, I don't think the font in the jpeg has changed, just it is printing gibberish on that last line.
Try this: File > Export and for type choose Interchange format (.inx). Open that file in InDesign and save again as an InDesign document. See if that prints.
If not, I'd say it's almost certainly the driver.

How to keep unaltered the last line?

Hi I am doing some last corrections in a book which is going to be in the next days published and I am not allowed to change the form of the pages. (The indexes at the end of book are already done). Thus by correcting some footnotes (making them shorter) the main text above also changes (the first line of the next page appears in the page I corrected the footnotes) and I cannot keep the previous form of the pages. How can I keep the last line of the main text unaltered so that the pages turn exactly at the same point like before?

If I am understanding your issue correctly, it seems that you are trying to keep the length of each page's main content unaltered so that the index could refer back to the correct page. It sounds like the content in each page's frames are linked, so that they flow continuously. Adding a page break (or a frame break) may be what you're looking for. You'll find it under Type > Insert Break Character.
I hope this helps. And good luck with your book!

How to read the last line in a txt file?

How do I prevent firefox from loading page when I type in first few letters?

I am giving my laptop to my daughter. I deleted history and emptied cache. Yet if she were to type the letter 'c', an adult site I have visited pops up - WITH MY USERNAME AND PASSWORD ALREADY TYPED IN! This gives her full access to my adult activity on the site.
How do I prevent this from happening? I want to totally remove this site from firefox's 'memory', especially the username and password.

To log you out of all websites your gonna want to clear the cookies:
* Firefox in top left corner > Options > Privacy > Show Cookies >Remove all Cookies
I would also recommend resetting Firefox if you are no longer gonna use it yourself :
* Firefox in top left corner>Help>Troubleshooting Information>Reset Firefox

How can I prevent Bridge from altering my photos?

HELP!!!
Within the past few days my Bridge CS4 program has been making my life miserable. I had been utilizing the program to batch photos from my extensive photo library, rename them, sort them (i.e., change sort/ordinal number), and the like without any difficulty and then suddenly, after executing such processes my thumbnails turned completely white and would not open in Bridge, Photoshop CS4 Extended - much less anything else. I tried reopening them as .jpg's, .psd's, .tiff's to no avail. I went into properties on each photo and checked the "open with" tab, and it noted that the photo was not recognized. I had some moderate success opening them with Quicktime Picture Viewer, but converting them back to a Bridge readable format (i.e., their original state) proved impossible. Having noticed that Quicktime had hijacked nearly my entire photo opening process, I uninstalled it in the hope that it would solve the problem. It didn't. I then went into Bridge and Photoshop CS4 preferences to try and modify how photos were opened, and couldn't seem to find anything applicable. I did, however, increase the memory and cache allocated to each program substantially.
Last night I ran into more problems with Bridge. While scanning both photo negatives and prints into Bridge and saving them into various files, I encountered the same problem indicated in paragraph one. I tried scanning several of them a second time and succeeded; however, I had to save them to a different file and give them dissimilar names in .tiff format. In the process I found more than a dozen ways to spell "Mexico," "Tokyo," and "Ukraine"! They would not save as .jpg's or .psd's.
I use Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, have a Pentium 4 Dual Core (2.8) processor, 4 GB Memory, Nvidia GE Force 7600 video card (yes, the drivers are up to date), and Hewlett Packard Photosmart C7180 and C7280 printers for scanning. All of the photos involved are stored on a Maxtor One Touch 1TB Turbo auxillary hard drive.
Also, could anyone suggest how I can get the SD/MMC card reader on my PC to work?
Thanks to any and all for assisting me with my problem.

Thank you curt y for your quick response. I have seen your recommendations on the adobe forums link in the past and many of your solutions
seem to have helped other people with Bridge problems. I took your suggestion and gave it a whirl - all preferences were restored to defaults - and the problem continues. I get the feeling the problems lies with the program's interaction with Windows.
Having tried a few more things, I've found that I can move the photo shell (the inscription underneath the thumbnail states, "Window Shell Common") to my desktop and open it there with Photoshop (i.e., going through the song and dance of "open with" and clicking on the CS4 icon, where it opens up in RAW). I must then move it over to Photoshop CS4 and save it as a .jpg or a .psd. Unfortunately, after all this it still won't open in Bridge. By all appearances, Bridge somehow has become corrupted and I'm probably going to have to do a complete Photoshop CS4 uninstall and reinstall.
I've spent hundreds - if not thousands - of hours scanning into my system some 10,000 photographs of my travels (yes, they are backed up on discs), and Bridge should not be negatively impacting my ability to organize and manipulation them as is happening now. If the uninstall/reinstall does not resolve the problem, I'll be back on this forum for more suggestions.
As for the card reader issue, I'm well aware of the 2GB/over 2GB issue. I typically use a 4GB or more card in my camera. I can download fine through my HP 7180 and 7280 card readers, but my HP 1518n card reader is a different story. I'll work a little more on it, too.
Thanks again.

Have you tried resetting your preferences by holding down the Ctrl key and starting Bridge? You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.
The only thing I know about card readers is that there are 2 versions. One for cards of 2 gigs or less, and one for HD cards over 2 gigs. Make sure card and reader match.

How do I prevent Mail from Zipping the attachment?

When I send a .pages file by e-mail, Mail zips the file to .pages.zip.
The network software at this University blocks .zip. How do I prevent Mail from zipping the file? I tried turning off the "send windows-friendly", but but still zips.

Assuming this is iWork '08 or earlier, the "documents" are actually packages. A package is really a folder hierarchy. A folder cannot be emailed unless it is archived somehow. Mail does this automatically; most other email programs would be incapable of sending a bare Pages document at all.
You could use some other non-blocked archive format, like tar or StuffIt. Or maybe you could rename it so that the mail servers don't recognize it as zip. You would have to instruct your recipient to rename it back. I understand that iWork '09 archives documents by default, although they are not named .zip, so that should be no longer an issue.

How do I prevent Firefox from "cycling" the tabs?

How can I prevent Firefox from cycling the tabs?
I like my tabs where they are. I have a good memory. If a tab is at the left, I want it to stay at the left. I do not want firefox to move the activated tab around, under any circumstance. Where there's code in the Chrome to make a tab move without the user dragging it, I want an option to prevent this from ever ocurring. Movement of tabs is very disorienting. I am not talking about scrolling. I am talking about when there are 6 tabs open and the rightmost 5 keep changing places without user interaction.

You can check the home page setting.
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
If you do not keep changes the you can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.
