Pages Table Formatting Bug in 10.10.3

Running pages 5.5.2 on MBP with OS X 10.10.3, i noticed this.  I have a table on the same page as some text, and in order for the table (which was larger than 1 page) to fit I had to change the formatting to "always stay on page" and disallow text wrapping.  In fact, the ONLY way to get the table to fit on the page was to change the paper type to legal size, so that the page was longer.  Super lame, because now when I print it it will be distorted. That is a side issue however. 
The main issue is with resizing the table columns, I noticed this happened.  Essentially when moving the table's grid lines, the old formatting would remain, so there was a 'ghosting' effect.  See this video for what I am talking about.
I tried saving it, then closing and reopening the file, and the 'ghosting' remained so I reverted to older version of the document to get it back.  Resizing the table to original size manually also works.  Here is a video clip of the bug:  http://youtu.be/hZcx_HolJkI

  • Small Product page table format issues with unused sections

    Hello All,
    I hope someone can help me to identify what it is I may be doing wrong with my Small Product catalog pages. I have this issue where I have unused sections or blanks where normally product images/detail would be. I think this may be coming from my Product titles which use more than two lines of characters and those products that I have on sale where the listed price is lined through with a new price below(additional row of text) where the product is taking more hieght area than the norm. It seems to be pushing the other products farther over/down to another column/row. I'm sure it is somelthing that I have wrong with the way the table is setup for managing the hight of each product area dynamically, but I am new to this so not sure what to address it in the code.
    here is a link to one of the problem pages showing the issue:

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Mike,
    Actually I just realized that by adding that height code to my css the Stock qty and add to cart button are no longer visible. I even tried increasing the height to a ridiculous amount to see if the value was just not large enough to show it, but still no stock and add to cart button...just a lot of blank space under the items.
    Any idea what may be causing that?
    Thanks,

  • I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

    I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

    That is not the issue.
    Pages/OSX does not save files with crop marks and bleeds.
    It also by default saves transparency, which is involved in a lot of Pages' better features, at a rubbishy 72 dpi resolution.
    It also makes it extremely difficult to maintain mono-color like black only text, has no spot color and makes color management opaque.
    It really is only meant for amateur publishing and printing to your desktop printer.
    A commercial printer who is willing to use and print from Pages may have better results but at the cost of considerable micro-management which defeats the point of this "cheap" solution.

  • Table format inserting incorrectly

    I am using JHeadstart version 10.1.3.0.91 to create a wizard application. On one of the pages I have a table list of rows. These rows will be populated by a select statement ie by using a method in the Appplication Module Class which set the row status to STATUS_INITIALIZED by calling method setNewRowState.
    eg
    rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
    XxRegExemptionsVOImpl exemptionVO = getXxRegExemptionsVO();
    Row row;
    while (rs.next()) {
    String id = rs.getString("id");
    String details = rs.getString("exemption");
    row = exemptionVO.createRow();
    row.setNewRowState(ViewRowImpl.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
    row.setAttribute("Paper", id);
    row.setAttribute("Details", details);
    row.setAttribute("ExemptionCheckbox", Boolean.FALSE);
    row.setNewRowState(ViewRowImpl.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
    exemptionVO.insertRow(row);
    //row.setNewRowState(ViewRowImpl.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
    This is then called by an executable in the page def. The field ExemptionCheckbox is an updatable transient created in the VO of type boolean. On my screen i have a list of records in table format with checkbox for each row. If i check a checkbox then the record should be inserted into the target table when i click on the save button.
    The problem is the first record is always inserted into the database table no matter whether it is checked or not. This works ok for all the other records based on their checked status.

    Hi Steven
    I do not really understand your response. My problem is i need to insert multiple rows into a table. The form is based on the target VO. The one i want to insert values into. To this end I prepopulate the target VO with the records to be listed on the page. See code included above. The status of the row is set to ViewRowImpl.STATUS_INITIALIZED. When a checkbox is selected
    for a record the status will be updated causing the record to be inserted into the database. (I am using the wizard and this page is in the middle of the process.ie page 5 of 10).
    The problem is the first row is always inserted no matter whether it is selected or not. I have no code after the initial insert specified above in this thread. Your response talks about code that iterates through the VO. This is not something i do.
    It seems like a bug. However if you have an alternative method to achieve the same result i would be most oblidged.

    Boxes, Lines, Shading: BOX, POSITION, SIZE
    Use the BOX, POSITION, and SIZE commands for drawing boxes, lines, and shading to print particular windows within a form or passages of text within a window in a frame or with shading.
    The SAP printer drivers that are based on page-oriented printers (the HP LaserJet driver HPL2, the Postscript driver POST, the Kyocera Prescribe driver PRES) employ these commands when printing. Line printers and page-oriented printers not supported in the standard ignore these commands. You can view the resulting printer output in the SAPscript print preview.
    Syntax:
    /: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
    /: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    /: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    BOX Command
    Syntax
    /: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
    Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.
    Parameters: For each of XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT, and FRAME, you must specify both a measurement and a unit of measurement. Specify the INTENSITY parameter as a percentage between 0 and 100.
    XPOS, YPOS
    Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.
    Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.
    The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:
    X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS
    Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS
    WIDTH
    Width of the box. Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
    HEIGHT
    Height of the box. Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
    FRAME
    Thickness of frame.
    Default: 0 (no frame).
    INTENSITY
    Grayscale of box contents as %.
    Default: 100 (full black)
    Measurements: You must specify decimal numbers as literal values (like ABAP numeric constants) by enclosing them in inverted commas. Use the period as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.
    Units of measurement: The following units of measurement may be used:
    TW (twip)
    PT (point)
    IN (inch)
    MM (millimeter)
    CM (centimeter)
    LN (line)
    CH (character).
    The following conversion factors apply:
    1 TW = 1/20 PT
    1 PT = 1/72 IN
    1 IN = 2.54 CM
    1 CM = 10 MM
    1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the form header
    1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the form header
    /: BOX FRAME 10 TW
    Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).
    /: BOX INTENSITY 10
    Fills the window background with shading having a gray scale of 10 %.
    /: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
    Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.
    /: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
    Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.
    /: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
    /: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

    /: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
    Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.
    POSITION Command
    Syntax
    /: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    Effect: Sets the origin for the coordinate system used by the XPOS and YPOS parameters of the BOX command. When a window is first started, the POSITION value is set to refer to the upper left corner of the window (default setting).
    Parameters: If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value, in other words, as a value that specifies an offset from the upper left corner of the output page. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value. If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to this parameter.
    XORIGIN, YORIGIN
    Origin of the coordinate system.
    WINDOW
    Sets the values for the left and upper edges to match those of the current window (default setting).
    PAGE
    Sets the values for the left and upper edges to match those of the current output page (XORIGIN = 0 cm, YORIGIN = 0 cm).
    /: POSITION WINDOW
    Sets the origin for the coordinate system to the upper left corner of the window.
    /: POSITION XORIGIN 2 CM YORIGIN '2.5 CM'
    Sets the origin for the coordinate system to a point 2 cm from the left edge and 2.5 cm from the upper edge of the output page.
    /: POSITION XORIGIN '-1.5' CM YORIGIN -1 CM
    Shifts the origin for the coordinates 1.5 cm to the left and 1 cm up.
    SIZE Command
    Syntax
    /: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
    Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started, the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).
    Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.
    WIDTH, HEIGHT
    Dimensions of the rectangle or line.
    WINDOW
    Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).
    PAGE
    Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.
    /: SIZE WINDOW
    Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.
    /: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM
    Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.
    /: POSITION WINDOW
    /: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW
    /: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
    /: BOX FRAME 10 TW
    A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.

  • How to copy and paste a multi-page table of contents?

    Hi everyone.
    I have a large document with a Table Of Contents extending over two pages. I'd like to copy the entire TOC then paste it into a new Pages document.
    I have been able to copy the TOC however when I try to paste it into a new blank Word Processing pages document the following Error message appears: "The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document."
    I can paste it into a blank Page Layout pages document however it pastes it into a text box with only one page of the TOC in it.  Even if the new Page Layout document has two pages and I extend the text box over the two pages only one page of the TOC is copied into the new Page Layout document. At the moment the only work-around I can do is to take a screen shot of each individual page of the TOC and paste them individually into a new pages document. I have tried exporting the entire original document to a plain text file however all the formating is lost (obviously).  I have also tried exporting the entire original document to a Word document (.doc) however it won't let me copy the multi-page TOC and paste it into a new Word document. 
    Is there any way to successfully copy a multi-page table of contents to a new Pages document?

    You can try exporting the pages the TOC is on as rtf, text or pdf and transferring that, but I would question the value of a TOC for one document being in an entirely different document, which doesn't have what the TOC is pointing to.
    Have you tried copying the T.O.C. Section from the document Thumbnails and pasting into the document Thumbnails of the 2nd document?
    Peter
    How does one export individual pages from a Pages document?
    I've also tried to copy the TOC section from the document thumbnail however I can't figure out how to select multiple pages in the document thumbnails.  It only allows me to select one at a time. Furthermore, when I do select a single page from the thumbnail section and attempt to drag and drop it into the the thumbnail section of the second document it picks up the whole document and wont allow me to move it from the thumbnail section of the original document.
    Shift click to select multiple pages, and I did say Copy and Paste, not drag and drop.

  • WARNING - Saving file in Pages 09 format may corrupt your file - WARNING

    I used Pages '09 to create and maintain a test log covering some 16 hours of testing effort.
    Now that I want to open the file Pages reports: The document "Parallels Test" couldn't be opened.
    I was still able to QuickView the document in Finder.
    Renaming the .pages to .zip and looking inside I was able to retrieve the Preview.pdf file and print it.
    (Thanks to KOENIG's instructions to another thread in this forum)
    Lucky for me I use Time Machine and save frequently so I was able to retrieve an earlier version of the document that Pages '09 could open.
    So the lost work was minimal.
    However when I save the file with my updates Pages 09 is not able to open it.
    So I now save the document in Pages 08 format and everything works fine.
    I'm gonna stop using Pages 09 format until Apple have fixed this issue.

    Re reading your first message I'm not sure of what was available in the 'corrupted' file.
    If there was no index.xml file, I can't help.
    I may report the fact but without precise infos about what was done, it would be inefficient.
    If you kept a copy of the 'corrupted' document, may you send it to my mailbox.

  • New table format in FM 8?

    Why can't I define a new table format that includes static text and a static graphic in structured Frame 8? I can create a new table format, but it doesn't capture the static text that I defined. I need to create a NOTE table and a WARNING table format.

    Thank you, Russ.
    The autonumbering feature works well to set up the start of a note; for example, "CAUTION!" or "WARNING!," but I'd like to define several static notes that we use all the time. For example, "CAUTION!" Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage sensitive components. Use ESD-protective devices and procedures," and autonumbering isn't designed to place long text like that. It doesn't wrap it.
    I tried to set up new table format by setting up a new icon paragraph style and a new text paragraph style (I drew a graphic frame on the reference page and placed a text box inside it and typed my long note. Then I set up a paragraph style based on that graphic frame ("frame above feature"). I then drew a two-column table, placed the icon paragraph in the first column and the graphic frame (with text) paragraph in the second column and saved it as a new table format. But when I insert that table format, I icon displays in both columns and the text is nowhere to be found.
    At your suggestion, in the EDD, I did set up some new note types in the Note element and defined prefixes for each. In my FrameMaker topic file, I then added the note element and chose the esd attribute type, for example, and got my full note text to display. However, I also would like to display an icon to the left of my notes (warning, ESD, or radiation), and I don't know if I can set up something in my prefix in the EDD to help me do that?

  • Wiki Pages Table of contests

    Hi,
    Is there an easy way (add a web part maybe) to add a wiki page table of contents in SharePoint 2013.
    I want the table of contents to be located at the top of the screen and references headings in the page below.
    Granted you can add a table of contents but this only references actual pages and not content in the pages.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi All,
    Just thought I'd let you know I have had a go at implementing the ToC described in the link above.  I downloaded the sample code as opposed to working the chunks of code into a copy of my EnterpriseWiki.aspx page and the only issue I had was that
    on my new page layout there are no page styles for Heading 2.
    To fix this I reverted back to the Basic Page layout and formatted some text as "Heading 2 Alternate" and then changed the page layout back to my customised layout with the ToC.  This didn't immediately fix the issue; I had
    to click on Edit Source to find what style had been applied to the heading, in my case it was "ms-rteElement-H2B". I then went into the new layout ASPX in SharePoint Designer and changed:
    $(document).ready(function(){
    $(".ms-bodyareacell h2").each(function(){
    to
    $(document).ready(function(){
    $(".ms-rteElement-H2B").each(function(){
    I saved the page and the ToC was populated.  Still needs a bit of work, I think I'll try working the ToC into a copy of my existing EnterpriseWiki.aspx to preserve the available styles.
    If any of that was to vague give me a shout and I'll try explain in more detail, bearing in mind I'm learning this as I go along.
    I have also found an article,
    https://junestime.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/add-table-of-contents-to-a-wiki-page-in-sharepoint-2010/comment-page-1/, that uses the above code but takes it one step further to do a multi level ToC.
    Maybe I'll be brave and jump straight in to this one instead!

  • Best table format for html?

    I see that after I convert my FM doc to Online Help (via webworks), the tables do not expand in the output the way the text does. Is there a specific table format that works best for conversion to html?
    Regards,
    Bill

    Bill,
    in FrameMaker you design each table to have certain column widths because you are limited by the size of your page (and the paper).
    HTML browsers have more freedom unless they are explicitly instructed to create certain column widths. The basic rule for HTMl tables (and there is only a single table "format" in HTML) are those:
    Check each column for its minimum width, specified by a graphic or a very long unhyphenated word.
    Look in each column for the longest content. i.e. as if multi-line content would be written in a single line (attention: <br> tags force line breaks)
    If all columns expanded to hold the longest content fit inside the browser window: scale them accordingly: This may result in tables which are smaller than in print, because they contain only very short texts
    If the columns do not fit the current browser width, scale them down to fit the browser width, but only as far as the minimum width.
    If the sum of minimum widths is wider than the browser window: create a horizontal scrollbar.
    Of course, using CSS instruction like {width: 12em;} one can force certain column width independent from content, but this is usually not the default.
    If you want all your tables to always span the full width of the browser window, you have to add the following to your CSS (maybe via the Webworks UI):
    table { width: 100%; }

  • LiveCycle Designer 8.0 Table Header bug

    My dynamic form (8.0 dynamic XML form) has strange behavior with table headers.
    When rows are dynamically added to the table to make the table expand to a third page, the table headers become unstable. Once the table expands to the third page, if a row is added or removed, a new table header is added to the second page so the second page ends up having extra table headers.
    I have been using LiveCycle Designer 8.0 that came with Acrobat Professional 8.0.
    I have been using the Purchase Order.pdf, that came with Designer 8.0, as an example to create tables that can have rows added or removed dynamically. I checked the Purchase Order.pdf (8.0), and it also has the same buggy, table-header behavior.
    I then downloaded Acrobat Professional 9.0 which comes with LiveCycle Designer 8.2 and checked the Purchase Order.pdf that came with it.
    The Purchase Order.pdf (8.2) works correctly.
    I then compared the timestamps of the Purchase Order.pdf (8.0) and Purchase Order.pdf (8.2) and their XML source.
    The timestamps are different, Purchase Order.pdf (8.0) -10/17/2006 11:16 PM, Purchase Order.pdf (8.2) -5/23/2008 1:16 AM.
    The main difference in the XML source between the two versions is their
    Overflow-related tag.
    The Purchase Order.pdf (8.0) has
    The Purchase Order.pdf (8.2) has .
    I dont know about Designer 8.1, but the table-header bug is definitely fixed in Designer 8.2.
    Could someone please tell me what I need to install to fix this bug? Is there a service pack for Designer 8.0 or do I have to install Designer 8.2?
    I have seen workarounds for this bug in the forum, but creating a master page containing the table header for each table in the form seems to be an excessive hack.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    There is no patch .....if it is fixed in 8.2 then you will have to use that.

  • Older Business HTML and Dynamic Page Table question

    I am not sure if anyone will know here (or if this is the best place to post), but I have a question concerning using the Business HTML template library controls/API for use with ITS. I am attempting to use the "Dynamic Page Table" control, and have hit some problems. Does anyone have any example code they can share on getting this to work correctly (ie, paging through records, selecting from rows, etc)? I have "torn apart" the underlying Javascript and even modified my code to adjust for some formatting issues that the API's do not handle, however, my "pages" all display at once in the beginning and only hide when I use one of the paging icons (forward,back,all back, etc). THe "isVisible" parameter seems to do nothing for the "page" DIVs. Currently running the latest version of ITS and R/3 4.6b on the backend if that helps. Also, the example from the SAP Design Guild cookbook is very basic and does not "page" as I need. Thanks in advance!

  • Fill up or across cells in pages table

    Does anyone know if you can "fill" cells with a formula up or across a pages table as you can in numbers?

    In Pages 5, you can fill in any direction. Just Select the cell or cells and Drag the Yellow Dot in the middle of the selection border.
    In Pages 4, the Fill Handle is always in the lower right corner of the selection, and you can drag / fill in any direction.
    If you Fill from the Menu line, use Format > Table > Fill and choose the direction.

  • Address book report in table format

    I would like to print an address book for my planner in a table format. I can not get address book to print the information I want in a table (2 columns with several rows, dependent upon the paper size - 1/2 sheet). I have created a data base, and tried the reports, but I get one card per page instead of in a table format of several cards per page. More specifically, what I want is name, address, and general info in one columnn, and phone numbers in the other column, with several individuals on one page.
    imac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi bmj,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
    If your Address Book is an AppleWorks database, you've come to the right place, as this forum is for discussion of tips, techniques and issues with Apple's productivity application AppleWorks.
    But if you are asking how produce this list using the Address Book application bundled with current iMacs and other current Macs, that's outside the scope of this forum.
    I'm working on the assumption that you're using Appleworks.
    [W]hat I want is name, address, and general info in one column, and phone numbers in the other column, with several individuals on one page.
    The kicker here is going to be "General information." While each of the other pieces of information will take more or less the same amount of space in each record, the amount of "General information" will vary widely.
    While AppleWorks DB screen layouts can handle this by expanding a field to show its contents when the insertion point is placed in the field, layouts for printing do not have this flexibility the amount of space you allocate for a field is fixed when you create (or edit) the layout, and every record gets the same amount of space, whether the data leaves a large white space or fills the space (with some data hidden because it's too large).
    Given that restriction, you can set your layout up as either a Columnar report or as a Labels Layout. My preference would be the latter.
    Before doing either, I'd suggest creating two new Calculation type fields: 'Fullname' and 'CSZ'
    'Fullname' joins the contents of the 'First name' and 'Last name' fields with a space between them using this formula:
    'First name'&" "&'Last name'
    'CSZ' joins the contents of the fields 'City', 'State', and 'Zip' into a single line. Following USPS (and for my case, Canada Post) guidelines, it also converts all letters in this line to capitals, and puts two spaces to left and right of the two letter State (or Province) postal symbol. Data in the field 'State' must be the two letter symbol, not the full state name. Formula:
    UPPER('City'&" "&'State'&" "&'Zip')
    These two formulas help clean up the layout of your list, and are also useful if you later decide to make mailing labels.
    To create the printed address book using a labels layout, open your DB file, then go to Layout mode (go Layout > Layout).
    Go Layout > New Layout (Note: NOT New Labels Layout)
    Click the Labels radio button, leave the popup menu set to Custom, Click OK.
    In the Labels Layout dialogue, set Labels across the page to 1 and width to the full width of the page (minus margins). These two items are not adjustable once set.
    Increase the label height to 4 to give yourself some room to work in. (The height of each row of labels (ie. each 'card') can be adjusted at will.) Click OK.
    In the next dialogue double click each of the following field names (in this order) to move the fields from the left column to the right column.
    'Fullname'
    'Address'
    'CSZ'
    'General information'
    'Phone'
    Click OK.
    Your new layout will be created with the fields inserted onto it in a single column. Select the top four fields and resize them (width only) using the handles.
    Select and resize the Phone field, then drag it to its new position in the second column.
    Select and resize the General field to contain as much data as you expect to place there.
    Drag the Body boundary up to a position just below the General field. The position of this boundary controls the height of each card/label and the amount of space between it and the next one down the page.
    When the layout looks right, go Layout > Browse to view the results.
    You can adjust the number of cards that appear on a page by adjusting the Body boundary to make each card take more or less vertical space. You may need to also adjust the size of the fields, particularly the 'General' field and the size of type used.
    Regards,
