I am trying to justify a piece of writing

I am trying to justify a piece of text - half of it justifies but some paragraphs don't any ideas.

Hi jazwan
Welcome to the forum.
You haven't told us much about the text or what you are using, so just an initial suggestion to try.
Select the text and force the Body style on it by double clicking the Body style in the Styles Drawer:
+Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer+
Then try justifying the text again.
Do you have any images, tables etc near the text, or in the text?
Are some of the paragraphs lists, or single lines?
See if you can spot what is different about the unjustified text.

Hi Guru,
> we need to lock the table when client is accessing so that we can maintain the consistente data
And that's exactly why the LockException is thrown. If the second client was allowed to update the same data record, this would result in a dirty write which is not allowed by any means. So it's not quite clear what you expect... You lock the data - you get a LockException on concurrent write access - it's so simple and not surprising at all, isn't it?
What you can probably do is to catch the LockException and retry the operation according to your business logic.
HTH!

Trying to take a piece from Adobe CS6 to edit on FCP 7 - general error

I'm new to editing so please forgive my question or lack of technical knowledge. Last year I had edited a short documentary for school using a trial version of Adobe CS5. Fast forward a bit and now I'd like to make some changes to it using Final Cut 7. Currently I downloaded the trial of CS6 on my laptop to try to make the transition easier. I have a brand new iMac in which I upgraded the ram to 12gb. I first tried to import the entire documentary as an .mp4 file and received the general error message, but not the out of memory message. In researching my issue on this site I discovered that the file must be converted to prores. I attempted to import a short piece of the documentary (~4 min out of the total 17min) as prores but I'm still receiving the same error.
Ideally, and I dont know if it can even be done but I'd like to somehow transfer the timeline over to FCP as well. Please help, any input, ideas, thoughts, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-Dan

mp4 is not a fcp friendly format. Try using compressor to convert to prores.
As far as bringing your project into fcp:
First, did you capture your original material with timecode?
What format is the original capture?
If so, you may be able to export an edl from premiere and bring that edl into fcp. You would have to probably convert the original captured material to an fcp friendly format and then manually match each shot in to fcp.
All doable and probably easier than starting from scratch.

Justifying output

Pretty simple thing I can't seem to figure out. I am currently trying to justify my array output in 3 columns via this piece of code:
TextIO.putln(" " + totalelements[i] +" \t"+ totalelements[i+1] +" \t"+("%8d")+ totalelements[i+2]);
It works except it actually prints "(%8d)xxxx (where xxxx = totalelements[i+2])
Top Ten Elements of the list:
Aaliyah      F      (%8d)3426
Aaron      M      (%8d)8229
Abigail      F      (%8d)15206
Adam      M      (%8d)7339
Adrian      M      (%8d)6052
Any thoughts out there? Thanks in advance.

TextIO.putln("   " + totalelements[i] +" \t"+ totalelements[i+1] +" \t"+("%8d")+ totalelements[i+2]);If, contrary to what you say, TextIO accepts formatting like printf rather than a simple string like println, then...
putln("blah blah %8d" + number); // wrong
putln("blah blah %8d", number); // righthttp://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html#syntax

Measuring the length of a piece of text

Hi,
I'm trying to take a piece of a longer text and display it so
that it is exactly 4 lines long and 200 pixels wide. If I use the
regular text string functions (right, left, mid, etc.) I can create
4 lines with a certain number of characters, but depending on the
text, sometimes they are too long or so short that I could have fit
another word on the line. Is there a function that takes into
account the actual linear length in pixels of a line of text
formatted in the current style? Also the original text could have
HTML codes in it, so I would want to ignore these when selecting
the text so that I don't count non-displaying characters or leave
open ended HTML in my page.
If I have the wrong approach, any guidance would be
appreciated.

Justifying Mac vs PC for business

I have an iMac at home but my employer is strictly PC-based. I'm the manager of communications and marketing, and we use a creative agency to develop our materials. I'm due for a laptop upgrade and some in our IT group support my desire to switch to a MBP, but the management isn't as ready to make a switch. Since so many apps and files are now transparent between Macs and PCs, I can't really make the argument that having a PC limits my ability to open and work with files that come through from the agency, photographers, etc.
Clearly, I recognize that the photo manipulation that I do myself would be far simpler on a MBP. What other sound business reasons can you suggest? I would certainly like to end up with a MBP, but if there aren't really any more compelling business reasons, then I can't very well argue for one. Thoughts?

Most CFOs say productivity cannot be measured and therfore is not a justification standard.
Laptop Macs are competitive with PC laptops on price. The MacBook Core2Duo starts at $1,100. Geesh! Come on you can do better than that!
I had a recent discussion with our CIO. He pointed out that he cannot support two different computer baselines. I responded by saying to him he doesn't support the laptops anyway. I asked my CIO to describe specifically the support he provides. He couldn't. As an example, if a PC breaks they call Dell. If my MBP breaks, Apple fixes it. If I have a problem and I can't part with the computer I walk into the Apple store and ask them to look at it. Although I will add that hasn't happened in about 4 years. The support our CIO does provide is infrastructure related (i.e. the network, servers etc..) anything else is outsourced.
I've observed that the problems most CIOs have experienced with PCs and Windows have predisposed CIOs to mitigate their risks, read fears, by not allowing Macs into the business place. Definitely misplaced fears and risk mitigation practice.
Most applications are web based. therefore there is no proprietary software to run natively on my PC or my MBP. As an example, I can use salesforce.com or Webex interchangeably on my PC and my MBP. Other applications like Oracle are supported on the Mac. Our Juniper VPN is also supported on both platforms. Office 2004 and 2008 for the Mac is interchangeable with Office 2007 for Windows (with minor exceptions). All files are inter-changeable, however. Our software engineers use PPC Macs and Intel Macs for software development. I can even access our PC/Windows U: drive or Sharepoint servers to access files; either over our intranet or over the Internet via VPN. Geesh!
We also use iChat video to bring people into meetings without the need for our unreliable Polycom equipment. I travel alot, and its really nice to video chat to boys at school or talk to my wife while I am in Germany, Hong Kong, Boston, or Denver.
I guess the point I am making is that there is no reason not to bring Macs into the office. Rather than trying to justify using Macs, I think there should be a justification for staying with PCs and Windows in light of the Virus risks. I can't see any reason.
I think IT departments should focus on the real issues, like improvements in network security, fighting SPAM, network bandwidth, and storage. I am certain that no one is happy with their wireless bandwidths in their respective offices.
I think the support argument is specious and has gone the way of the dodo!
BTW, I got my MBP after this discussion.

Justify Hyperlink Text in Navigation Bar

Hello,
I am trying to justify the text of my navigation bar (which are all hyperlinks). I would like to use css. I have tried a variety of things but none seem to work. I have attached the text. If anyone could write the code I need it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! I have attached the file as well.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Shupaca Handmade Alpaca Clothing</title>
<link href="Shupaca.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<script type="text/javascript">

<body onload="MM_preloadImages('Images/Home Page Links/scarf.jpg')">
<div class="MarginControl">
<div id="NavigationBar">

</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

As you will see though, by making the menu text so large, the interval between menu items looks all off. Eithr dramatically red
uce the text size, or you can set the width of each individual li by giving some an id and specifying width:
<div id="NavigationBar">
<ul>
    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
    <li id="prod"><a href="scarves.html">products</a></li>
    <li id="who"><a href="construction.html">who we are</a></li>
    <li id="why"><a href="construction.html">why alpaca</a></li>
    <li><a href="construction.html">FAQ's</a></li>
    <li><a href="construction.html">contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
wtih this css - the changes in orange
#NavigationBar a {
    color: #666;
    font-family: Arial verdana sans-serif;
    font-size: 20px;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    display: block;
#NavigationBar a:hover, #NavigationBar a:active, #NavigationBar a:focus {
    color: #84cbe1;
#NavigationBar ul {
    list-style: none;
    width: 850px;
#NavigationBar li {
    text-align: center;
    padding: 0px;
    float: left;
    width: 118px;
#NavigationBar li#who, #NavigationBar li#why {
    width: 180px;
#NavigationBar li#prod {
    width: 136px;
Hope that helps.

Trying to install Adobe acrobat from disk to computer error keeps saying can't complete instillation

Trying to install this piece of crap program from adobe "acrobat" that they offer no support for. It is 11 Standard and I have windows 8 and keeps telling me in error can't complete instillation. No other details. Any ideas? Can't believe they sell this for the price of a tv and offer only us to help each other.

Hi Jennifer ,
Sorry to hear that you are experiencing with Acrobat .
Could you please tell is there any error number or exit code mentioned along with the error message ?
It might be possible due to insufficient space on your machine ,it is not letting you install Acrobat .
You could try deleting the temporary files from your system once and check if that helps .And make sure all the third party software are disabled while the installation is in progress .
I would also suggest you to refer the following document to seek help .Have a look at this document and see if that fixes the issue .

Trying to use a rs and a executeUpdate in same method

Essentially I am trying to take a piece of data, add to that data, then update the database with the new value. I am also trying to apply it across multiple rows. When I run the program it iterates once. in trouble shooting I definitely narrowed it down to a conflict I dont completely understand. I get the following error statement, but I havent closed the rs in the code. If I take out the executeUpdate() I can print out all the rows that would otherwise be affected, but I cant run my update.
"Problem with training program: java.sql.SQLException: Operation not allowed after ResultSet closed"
suggestions? I modified the switch conditional for simplicity sake.
try {
Class.forName(driverName);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, password);
state = conn.createStatement();
rs2 = null;
//========================= rs1 =================================================>>>>>>>>
// Reads in individual teams win and losses.
rs = state.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM " + table + " WHERE (training > 0 AND training < 10) AND Team_ID !=0");
while ( rs.next() ) {
PlayerID = rs.getInt("Player_ID");
TeamID = rs.getInt("Team_ID");
Age = rs.getInt("age");
Training = rs.getInt("training");
String skill = "";
float improveF = 0;
if (TeamID == 0) {
improvement = 0;
System.out.println(PlayerID + " has no team, skipped training.");
} else {
// checks if player is over 30 (no improvment)
if (Age >= 30){
improvement = 0;
System.out.println(PlayerID + " is over 30, skipped training.");
} else {
if (Training == 16 || Training == 0) {
improvement = 0;
System.out.println(PlayerID + " is not assigned to practice.");
} else {
switch(Training){
//Speed
case 1:
skillValue = rs.getFloat("SPEED");
maxSkillValue = rs.getFloat("max_SPEED");
skill = "SPEED";
break;
// Stamina
} // end switch
System.out.println(skill);
if (skillValue >= maxSkillValue) {
improvement = 0;
System.out.println(PlayerID + "Skills are maxed in " + skill);
} else {
improveF = (float) .015;
improvement = (test.trainingImprovement() * improveF);
skillValue += improvement;
System.out.println(improvement);
System.out.println(skillValue);
state.executeUpdate("UPDATE " + table +
" SET " + skill + "= '" + skillValue +
"', improve=" + improvement +
" WHERE Player_ID = '" + PlayerID + "'" );
} // end No Training Setting
} // end age IF test
} // end TeamID IF test
} // end while
conn.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Problem with training program: " + e.toString() );
finally {
System.out.println("Player Training Executed");
} // END Finally

Any additional suggestions would be great but I got my code to work.
I changed the state.executeUpdate() to state2.executeUpdate. I did some reading in the forums and it was suggested that i cant use the my initial rs.

Is there a way to justify text in Photoshop Elements?

I am trying to justify text in Photoshop Elements 10 but can't find any place that I can do that. Can I justify text and, if so, how?

Using a type tool, click the Align pop-up menu and select any of the following:
Left Align Aligns the left edge of each text line in the layer to the initial cursor position.
Center
Aligns the center of each text line in the layer to the initial cursor position.
Right Align
Aligns the right edge of each text line in the layer to the initial cursor position.

How do i make a justifiable text box in Photoshop CS5

Hi
I tried to justify text but find it hard, any quick and simple ways to do it?
Thanks

We need less people like Tai Lao on these forums and more thoughtful, well thought out and thorough answers like the one 24/7 Tech Support gave.
I fail to understand what you're motivation and goal is Tai Lao?
This is precisely a board for people that are trying to learn whether they're beginners or not, or have high IQs or low IQs?
I've been using Photoshop since 1996 and I recently got CS5 and I was searching for this exact topic, because I just wanted something comprehensive on the subject, so I don't understand why you or anyone else feels the need to get in the way of that?
I mean, seriously, is this all for your ego? You like feeling superior to people, people you don't even know for that matter? Take your issues somewhere else. The immaturity is so obnoxious, especially when people that use these boards have work to do.
We out here have work to do, and we need thorough answers. Sometimes, some of us, while we're in the middle or towards the end of the work day aren't even at our best or freshest and we need clear and comprehensive answers during those moments when we're not necessarily operating at our best.
Whatever the case is, the truth is when you post answers, you should assume that the people are beginners or have "low IQs" or whatever garbage Tai Lao wrote.
24/7 Tech Support, I hope you continue to go about with your method of presenting detailed thorough answers to the people's queries here on the Adobe boards, I'm sure I'll come across one of your USEFUL posts sometime soon in the near future, and hopefully less across the USELESS posts of those like Tai Lao.

Error when trying to read from a dictionary

Hi there, I am trying to retrieve a piece of information using the 'get an item from a dictionary' action.
I've set up the action to read from a dictionary which stores information just retrieved using the call http web service action, but now I need an item in that dictionary. I've parsed through the string returned from the http call and noticed that
the information I want is under the route 'value/modified' which is what I entered, only without the single quotes...
but my workflow gets suspended and following is the error message I get:
RequestorId: 0de36620-da97-6e20-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception details: System.InvalidOperationException: Looking up a value using a key is not supported on an instance

P.S. I realize now that I've posted this question in the wrong discussion board....my apologies and please move me as you see appropriate...
thank you!

Use a BitTorrent client instead of a ddl (direct download link). This way it's less prone to errors, because it's checked while it's being downloaded.
Either that, or check its MD5 against the one from the Download page.
There's also this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … ion_medium
Note: The quality of optical drives and the discs themselves varies greatly. Generally, using a slow burn speed is recommended for reliable burns. If you are experiencing unexpected behaviour from the disc, try burning at the lowest speed supported by your burner.

Can't "Justify all lines" in CS5

Hello,
I'm trying to use the option of justifying all the lines in a textbox, but all I can do it justify to the right, center and left. It doesn't work when I'm trying to justify all lines. How can I solve this problem?
Thanks
Tom

Just to be sure, you drew a box (either with the Text tool or the Rectangle tool) and then entered or pasted some multi-line text in it.

Can not run piece

I have a piece I wrote in Authorware 7.0.2. The piece runs correctly on all of my test computers except for my Windows 7 machine. When I execute the program, I get the circle (indicating that something is starting to happen) for about 10 seconds, then nothing else happens. I've watched Process Explorer as I tried to start the piece and can see Authorware runtime try to start, then close. I've tried to run it in compatibility mode (XP and Vista), but neither works. I've tried to run it as administrator, that doesn't work. I've disabled User Account Control - that doesn't work. I've tried to run it in safe mode - that doesn't work. Is there anything I can do? Thank you.

Not sure – trying again …
You just need to trust the site that is hosting your Authorware files. Go to the page where you Authorware file is, then go to Tools > Security and select the Trusted Sites green checkmark. Select the Sites button and add the current site.
Then you need to close IE, and go back to the page. Your Authorware content should work now.

How to justified in a JTextPane?

Hello. I tryed to justified text into a JTextPane using the command
StyleConstants.setAlignment(My_style, StyleConstants.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED);
The text act just as the command used was ALIGN_CENTER
Let me precise that although I use more than one style, they are not mixing each other. I mean, this ALIGN_CENTER can NOT come from a previous unended style.
Does anyone has an idea?
Thanks fellows.

One of the great features of this forum is the search feature. You should try it. I used "align_justified" as the keyword. Here are a couple of threads that might help:
