Object Size and Position values not being retained

Hi,
I'm trying to set the size and position of a picture object in a report. This logo, should appear on the top right corner of the report.
The margins of the report are Left - .79 in, Right - 0.79 in, Top - 0.79 in and Bottom - 0.39 in.
The size of the picture object should be 1.574 x 0.79 inches.
I have ensured that File -> Page Setup -> dimensions are in INCHES.
I right click the logo and select 'Size and Position'.
I set 'Y' (distance between top of object and top margin) = 0. This is to perfectly align the object with the top margin.
Now, i set the height of the object = 0.79 inches. Ok the dialog and close.
The strange thing happening is, when i re-open the size and position dialog, i see that the values i set are not being retained.
0.79 becomes 0.810
and
0 become -0.010.
What am i doing wrong here? How can i make sure the values i specify in the size and position dialog are retained.
Thanks.

Ensure File | Options | Layout tab has the following UNMARKED!!!!

Grid

Grid
Ensure that "Snap to Grid" is turned off.
Make your grid size larger (.5 inches for example)
What is occurring (I suspect) is that your objects are snapping to the grid - thus changing the position and possibly size due to the Snap to Grid being turned on.

Why Illustrator change entered size and position values?

Hy All!
Illustrator 5.5 always change my entered size or position values.
(For example: I type 10mm, hit enter, and 10 changed to 10,231mm.)
I checked again and again, but I have no any enabled snap function.
I have Illustrator CS6 too, what works fine (but much slower).
Checked all my setting about 5 times, still didn't find the solution...
Thank you for your tips!
(MBP 17", C2D 2,5GHz, 4Gb RAM, Mac OS X 10.6.8.)

The measurement you type in defines the frame of your shape. The new measurement you see includes the width of the stroke.
Under your Illustrator preferences, if you uncheck "use preview bounds", it will leave your measurements as you typed them, but it will not include the width of any stroke that is aligned to center or outside of your box.

I am really pisssed off at two characteristics of Firefox 4: Size and position do not stick, and view menu selections do not stick from one use to the next.

I am really pissed off at two characteristics of Firefox 4: 1) Toolbar selections don't stick and 2) firefox window position and size settings do not stick from one use to the next.
The Bookmarks toolbar is the selection that does not stick, and Firefox, even though I set it to the size and position I want every time I use the program, always loads flush left, full top to botton, and about 1/3 of the width of the screen EVERY TIME it loads. These two characteristics are extreme pains in the ass.

This problem occurs on the Juno webmail site?
I assume you are doing something different than just correcting the squiggly red underlined words. How are you spell-checking the email: using an add-on or using a feature of the Juno webmail site? If it's an add-on, which one is it?

Missing Image Size and Position Data

In AI CS5 the size and position of an image were displayed in the top toolbar when you selected the image. This is missing in AI CS6, how can I get it back?

Well I did discover that what I need is called "Transform" but it's already checked in the menu you suggested. In fact EVERY box is already checked in that menu, and checking or unchecking them from that menu has absolutely no affect on anything anyway.
I found that I can expand one of the menus from the right side, and the "Transform" box is there, and that's fine. But that data (object size and position) was very useful when displayed on the top toolbar in CS5. Any idea how to make it appear in the top toolbar? It will un-dock (and is very difficult to re-dock)

If you're just doing it in a back and forth or spiral fashion, you don't need to check whether a square's been filled in. You just go from a start point to an end point. Those points and the squares in between are determined by simple arithmetic.
If you're doing it randomly, I wouldn't use the GUI elements themselves. I'd have, for example, and array of booleans that tells whether each square has been filled in.

Cells size and position; Can they have parameters ?

Hello,
Currently I have an Object
Start Date: 1 Jan 2008
End Date: 30 feb 2008
I want to set-up:
- the position of the cell depending the start date
- the wide of the cell depending the duration
I'm working on Crystal Report XI R2
Thanks in advance.

HI Alex
Mentioned below are the stepsto conditionally change the X position of an object
1. Right-click the field that you want to move conditionally, and select Size
and Position.
2. Click the Conditional Formula button next to the X position value field.
3. In the Formula Workshop, enter your conditional X position formula text.
For example, to move orders that were shipped late to a second column,
enter formula text such as this:
If (Orders.Ship Date) < CDateTime (2004, 01, 01, 02, 10,
11) then 4320
Note: The number 4320 represents the new position that you want to
define as the second column. The position is measured in twips; there
are 1440 twips in an inch.
4. Click Save and close to return to your report.
5. Click OK to save your position setting.
Crystal Reports moves objects that meet your condition to a new position, but
leaves those objects that donu2019t meet the condition where you originally placed
them.
Hope it will be helpful to you.
Regards
Asha

Is there a way to remove the size and position readout when moving Lines in Keynote?

When moving the endpoints of lines while creating a presentation, a size and position readout appears on the screen. This obscures details below it, often making it difficult to precisely position a line. Is there a way of disabling this? The option in Preferences for disabling this readout for objects does not work for lines. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Aarrrghh - can't find image size and position in captivate 8!

I was using Captivate 8 and it was under a tab in properties (don't remember the name of the "sub-tab").
Now, I'm using a newly downloaded version and cannot find size and position (x, y, width, length, etc.).
This should NOT be so hard
Any suggestions?

Totally agree, don't like the UI change neither. One of the reasons I'm happy to know all moving and resizing shortcuts by heart, they still work in CP8. But wouldn't it be wonderful to have rulers?
Shortcut Keys: Moving and Resizing Objects - Captivate blog
It is not as simple neither, because it is in a different location for a normal and for a responsive project.
For the normal project it is under the Options tab, for responsive projects you need the Position panel, both for Size and Location.

HELP! Controlling size and position of new window from applet

I am totally new to using java. I am making use of a java applet for showing images. Each image may be clicked to open a higher res image in a new window. I want to be able to control the size and position of the new window. The windows need to be different sizes for each image - a couple may be the same size but some will be different.
I found this:
<<<<Yes it can (but not after the window has been created). JavaScript can open documents in a new (or an old) window with eg.
<script>
window.open("document.url", "window_name", "toolbar=no,statusbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=600,height=400");
</script>
The new window will have only the title bar and the frame around the document, nothing else.
That can be made a function and called from an applet through liveconnect.>>>>
from a search re window sizes but I need more explicit help with how to put it into my document! This looks like it might work with the exception it doesn't give a position but I could even live without that.
Am I correct in assuming tha this script goes in the <head> of the document? If I have several different sizes, I would need to have several different but similar scripts but with different window names?
Do I substitute the actual url where it says "document.url"? What about "window_name"? And what does liveconnect mean?
Here is a sample from the applet coding I have in place:
\\\\\<param name="image2" value="barneygargles_th.jpg">
<param name="link2" value="http://www.barneygargles.com">
<param name="statusmsg2" value="Barney Gargles Family Restaurant">\\\\\
Please, I hope someone can help with this! This is driving me crazy!
Thanks to anyone who can walk me through this one!

Controlling window size and positioning in RH8 WebHelp

Evening all,
I've seen a post before about controlling the size and/or positioning or RH WebHelp windows, but I haven't been able to find it again.
I'm generating WebHelp in RH8 and at this point am using the default skin and whatever default tri-pane and CSH windows RH chooses to use.
Question is: how do I control the size and position of these windows? Or can I?
I suspect they're set in a .js, but don't know which one. I know I can create new windows, and if I recall correctly, I can make one for CSH and one for the classic tri-pane help display. Is this how folks typically control the windows used to display RH content? Or do they muck about in the original .js files?
Or, and this is the more likely, am I just being too anal-retentive about this and I should just let RH do its default thing and not worry about it?
Thanks - I'm just a bit confused here,
Patrick

Hi Patrick
If you aren't working with a programmer to connect your WebHelp to an application, you really don't have much control over the placement and attributes that are used.
Note that when you create a project in RoboHelp HTML, you have an ability to create a WebHelp window with the desired attributes. But really, all that does is configure the way a window will open if you are using something called the "WebHelp API" to open topics. As you stated earlier, JavaScript is actually used by the API to open the window.
Cheers... rick

Subham,
This should not be difficult and moreover the BI Publisher Desktop installation comes with a set of examples:
Start -> Programs -> BI Publisher Desktop -> Samples -> RTF Templates -> Advanced -> Conditional
There you can find two templates with the exact same situation like yours, highlighting either the foreground color or background color.

Set specific size and position of preloader's empty movieclip on main stage

hey, just wondering if it's possible to script an external preloader's empty movie clip to be of a specific size and position on the main stage? here's the script i've got for the preloader so far:
var my_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
my_pb.mode = "manual";
this.createEmptyMovieClip("Portfolio", 999);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
    my_pb.label = "LOADING: " + target_mc._name;
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number):Void {
    var pctLoaded:Number = Math.ceil(100 * (numBytesLoaded / numBytesTotal));
    my_pb.setProgress(numBytesLoaded, numBytesTotal);
my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
my_mcl.loadClip("Creative-Outrage_External.swf", Portfolio);
thanks in advance.

i could load the movies that way or if i tell my main movie to load the same preloader in an empty movieclip, instead of on the main timeline. however, this way it all looks great, but the buttons on the main timeline won't respond to user events from the external swfs.

[GeForceFX] WDM video capture image size and position

Hello to all.
When I do video capture with my MSI FX5900-VTD128, the picture is not centered correctly and not at the right size either.
Let's take for example that I want to record TLC. I always get a black vertical bar on the left side of the capture video and the TLC watermark is also missing on the screen. In other words, if I could move video capture screen to the left, I would regain the full video frame.
One of my friend has a different video capture card and he is able to correct the screen size and position. Is this possible with my video card ???
I have a lot of shaded options in my nVidia WDM setup. Things that I cannot change. Any clue on how I can resize my capture video and how to eneble shaded option ???
Thanks !

Man... I have VHS tapes that I want to put on DVD... It reallly does not work... It looks like if the image was zoomed in and a little bit to much on the left...
Does someone know if it is possible to adjust zoom level and image centering on the nVidia WDM capture video screen ???
Need some help here !

Size and position of Finder Window at reboot

I realize this issue has been covered, but I haven't been able to find and answer to my specific problem. Recently I have noticed that when I reboot my MacBook(10.6.8) the Finder Window opens in its default size and position. I set the size and position as required and it maintains that setting until I shut down. The next time I boot up the same thing happens, finder window is back to the default setting. All other settings(view etc) are OK, it's just the size/position that doesn't hold at shutdown. This is becoming a real nuisance and I would like to find a fix if possible. I have trashed the finder.plist and that doesn't work. Also tried some of the listed possible cures, to no avail. Does anyone have a fix for this problem?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Size and Position of New Safari Windows

When I click on a link in safari and it opens a new window I would like to be able to have that window open at a particular size and position of my choosing. How can I do this?

I used to think that it used the same size and placement as the last window closed but it is not doing that for me now.
It should.
Since you're running Lion disable Resume > How To Disable Lion's 'Resume' Feature - MacRumors.com
Then restart your Mac.
If that doesn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. See if it will "remember' window size.
