Align text between columns with space after paragraphs.

I am creating a proposal with a ton of text. I used to align everything to a baseline grid with justified type and indented paragraphs. Recently, however, I was asked to change the style to left aligned text with spaces between the paragraphs. The text flows into two columns per page, but I'll be damned if I can get the text to line up. I've tried different baseline grids as well as before and after spacing. I think my issue might be trying to keep paragraph spacing as half the leading. If my copy text leading and baseline are 14 or 7 pt, will a 7 pt paragraph space after work?
My leading and pt size is below, if anyone can point me to a solution.
Body copy: 9 pt font/14 pt leadingSpace before/after: 3.5/3.5
Subheaders: 10 pt font/ 14 pt leadingSpace before/after: 7/3.5
Baseline: tried both 14 pt and 7 pt

That's what I thought. I was taught to either have an indented second paragraph or to separate the paragraphs by half the leading of the type. Seems like it's impossible to align the text that way. A full leading separation (14 pt) between paragraphs seems excessive though.

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version.

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version. Paragraphs seem to only be dealt with in styles, and the Formatting window for text doesn't seem to have the space after paragraph contrtol that the older Inspector had. What am I missing?

Sorry I did this without looking:

Hi there,
Thanks so much for all your help for your help.
I am running into one issue in RTF template, wanted to share with you to get any input on this. I have paragraph and Idid put in table at the top and there is xml tag that gives names after that paragraph. but I get blank spaces after paragraph and it shows names from that xml tag.
I tried to remove spaces by deleting between pargraph and xml tag<name> , still i get blank page between paragraph text and names.
Can anyone help me or point me to get it resolved that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Varma for your prompt response and your time on this. I am still trying to get any other options to get this done as that is the requirement and with that blank page looks not fully satisfied for users and am trying any other ways to do implement this..
That's the reason I thought of putting this post again to get more inputs that may have.

How do I remove space after paragraph?

Does Robohelp have the "Remove Space after paragraph" button for reducing the space between lines, like the one in Word?

In HTML the space after is controlled by the style in your CSS file. You need to edit the style in the Style Editor.

Space after Paragraph: How much picas equal a blank line in Garamond Regular 7.5?

I'm using Indesign CC and would like to add a blank line after every paragraph in my document. I found out how to do that, but the only unit I'm offered is picas. I could probably switch to inches, but that doesn't really help me. My main text is written in Garamond Regular font size 7.5 and I would like to have blank space after each paragraph equal to a blank line written in that font with that size. How do if find out much large a blank line with those font settings is? I guessed and it seems to be equal to 0p7, but it would be great if I could do that without guessing blindly. I'm glad for any help.

I am not sure to understand. Garamond (or any other typeface) 7.5 equals to… 7.5 pts. But the size of a typeface is measured from ascender to descender, so it does not give you an accurate idea of the real height of the line. But leading is measured from baseline to baseline and this corresponds to the measure you are looking for. Once again, you need to know the leading value and you have to enter this value for the space after.
And 1 pica is equal to 12 pts.

BUG: Background Highlight extends to space after paragraph

Hey,
there is an inherent bug in the functionality of the background color highlight of a text style.
1. Create two paragraphs of text styled with the same paragraph style.
2. Create a character style called Bold with the color backgroud property set to a color, let's say yellow.
3. Adjust the spacing of your paragraph style to 20 pt and update the style.
4. Apply the character style Bold to the last line of your first paragraph.
5. The highlight will fill the gap, instead of simply staying behind the type.
The only workaround to avoid this is to create ghost paragraph breaks between the lines – this is pretty retro. Please fix. Generelly, the highlight fills the line space unevenly. Look at this screenshot:

This isn't a bug, the selection highlight shows the text and its spacing, the larger the spacing, the larger the highlight box will be.
This applies to any text in any application on the Mac, Keynote, Pages, Word, InDesign.

Space after paragraph not appearing in browsers.

Question from a newbie.
I'm using Dreamweaver (latest version) to create a rather long daily newsletter. Lots of paragraphs. I'm finding that many times, after a paragraph, I'll see a space before the next pargraph but then when I save the final page and open it in a browser the space between the paragraphs is gone.
This doesn't happen with every paragraph. I can go back and 'fix' this by backing up the second paragraph into the previous, then hitting Enter twice.
What I want: If I see a single line space between two paragraphs in Design mode I want it to appear that way in my browser. (I use both Firefox and Chrome.)
Thank you!

Thanks in advance for your help.
FYI - I'm creating a rather long HTML newsletter for clients each day. It's mostly paragraph after paragraph. Very simple.
In the problem described above I noticed that when in Dreamweaver I always see a line between paragraphs. This is what I want to see. But a few times in each document, when I open it in a browser the line has gone away.
When the line has vanished (in my browser) is see this code between paragraphs:
 
When the paragraphs show up as they should in the browser this is the code between them:

How to add some text between columns in dashboard prompt?

Hi,
OBIEE version:10.1.3.4.1
Can we add some words between columns in dashboard prompt?
like, I want to add OR, make sure user not to select different month, if selected the different months it will make the report no data.
Month OR Date Range(this is a calendar)
Does anyone have any idea about this?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Anne

Hi,
If you are using the prompts with presentation variables or referring only the columns separately then you can create individual prompts and place static text between them.
But if you need to have both the prompt columns together then create the prompts and use 'space' as the label names for both.(ie prompts would appear but the name wont appear). And create a static text in the page or in a report and place in the page. Which appears as the name of the prompt with 'OR' between the prompt names.
This should solve your problem.

Pages: Space after paragraphs

I am unable to find a way to create space before or after paragraphs. The original Pages inspector facility was just brilliant, better than Word, so why tinker with it? Hard to understand this. The new Pages interface is not easy to follow, but I guess I will get used to it. Could anybody please tell me how I can create space before and after paragraph in a document.
Please help,
Pat

I had the same problem and looked forever without luck. Fortunately, my little brother found the answer!

DB columns with spaces

Hi Forte Users,
This is the second time I submit the question since I just got
properly subcribed in.
We have an existing Paradox database with spaces in the column names
(eg. CONTR
FIRST NAME rather than CONTR_FIRST_NAME). When we try to select using
Forte's SQL
Select syntax we get the following error for the below SQL:
sql select
"CONTR BANET PHONE" as Phone,
"CONTR SSN" as SSN,
"CONTR COMMENTS" as Comments,
"CONTR ORIGINAL ADD DT" as OriginalAddDt

Although when we send the select via the dynamic SQL objects it works.
We have
tried delimiting the column names with ", "', ', etc but nothing has
worked. If
anybody has found a solution we appreaciate hearing about it.

This will return not just AB2 followd by spaces but also AB2 followed with anything (or nothing). That's why you still need second condition:
SQL> WITH t AS (SELECT 'AB1' AS id, 1 AS prod_id FROM dual UNION ALL
2 SELECT 'AB2222 ', 2 FROM dual UNION ALL
3 SELECT 'AB212345   ', 2 FROM dual UNION ALL
4 SELECT 'AB2 ', 3 FROM dual)
5 SELECT * FROM t
6 WHERE id LIKE 'AB2%'
7 /
ID             PROD_ID
AB2222               2
AB212345             2
AB2                  3
SQL> WITH t AS (SELECT 'AB1' AS id, 1 AS prod_id FROM dual UNION ALL
2 SELECT 'AB2222 ', 2 FROM dual UNION ALL
3 SELECT 'AB212345   ', 2 FROM dual UNION ALL
4 SELECT 'AB2 ', 3 FROM dual)
5 SELECT * FROM t
6 WHERE id LIKE 'AB2%'
7    AND RTRIM(id) = 'AB2'
8 /
ID             PROD_ID
AB2                  3

Space after paragraph "returns"

Hi!
I've made a template so that I don't have to keep telling Pages not to make space after each paragraph, but... Each time I use a style (like Heading) it automaticlly sets the space after a paragraph to 12 pt. This is annoying - can I change it?
Thanks

You are most welcome.
I found the pdf Pages 2 User Guide accessible from the front help page to be the most useful thing. It's 250 pages but there is a great deal of white space in there. It contains most of the useful conceptual stuff you need that is absent from the individual help snippets.
Don't ever feel guilty about posting a question though. That's what these boards are for.

Mystery spaces after paragraphs, effect from cutting/pasting

I am typing a rather long document for a graduate class. I placed my notes, quotes, etc. in an outline form in pages 09. I am now cutting and pasting those texts into a new document in pages 09. HOWEVER, at the end of a paragraph, it gives me mysterious blank space and starts the next paragraph on the next page. I've checked and I do not have it set up to do the "paragraph on next page" from the inspector. It has something to do with the cutting and pasting, I'm sure.
any help? how do you erase phantom space? ps---- I have tried deleting back to it, but the moment you hit enter, its back down AND don't try using space bar because it resets itself after a while. HELP!

It obviously has some hidden formatting characters.
You can try and show them by:
+Menu > View > Show Invisibles+
But to purge them, best is simply copy and paste all the text into a text only TextEdit page, then cut that and paste it back into Pages as clean text.

Find text Between tags with a Regular Expression

I am trying to find specif text -- table names - within a
<cfquery> tag in all my cfm files. I am using an extend find
function in Homesite (I think Dreamweaver has the same
functionality). This expression works:
<[Cc][fF][qQ][uU][eE][rR][Yy]
[^>]*>[^>]*(EventName|AttendeeName)[^>]*</[Cc][fF][qQ][uU][eE][rR][Yy]>
for find the text EventName or AttendeeName. However, if
there are other cf tags like <cfif> within the
<cfquery>, then the tag/text is not found.
Can anyone help? It is a useful expression to have if you are
trying to transfer applications developed on a windows machine to
a, say, linux machine, and have table name sensititvity issues with
mySql.

Oops: sorry. Stick a question mark after the asterisks to
stop the matches
being greedy.
Used this:
<[Cc][fF][qQ][uU][eE][rR][Yy].*?(EventName|AttendeeName)[^>].*?</[Cc][fF][qQ][uU][eE][rR][ Yy]>
and got some finds again with multiple queries and some
errors as mentioned below.

Can't help you there. Sounds like HS's regex processor is
bung: there's
nothing non-standard or tricky about that regex (which might
cause
compatibility issues; JS vs PERL vs Java, etc).
HS on the whole is bung (IMO). Have you considered using a
text editor
that is... err... *current*? ;-)
No, can you suggest one. Just use HS for years and it does
most of what I want.
What sort of errors is it giving?
Regular expression error No 17. Bad expression format or
internal error.

Have you seen this:

It might be a better approach anyhow.

Stretched text and image with FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE after Air player update

One of my Air applications uses StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE to switch to full screen during the presentation of some sheets.
Everything worked fine untill some users reported a streching of texts and images in the sheets.
It turns out that the problem occurs after an update from the Adobe Air Player to 3.1 from 2.7.
The first screen shots shows the text as it should be, the second screen shot shows the text after the update of the Air Player.
The code used to go into the Full Screen mode is:
    public function setFullScreenInteractive(fullScreenWidth:int = Constants.INT_SCREEN_WIDTH_SMALL, fullScreenHeight:int = Constants.INT_SCREEN_HEIGHT_SMALL):void
                         s.fullScreenSourceRect = new Rectangle(          0, 0, fullScreenWidth, fullScreenHeight);
        s.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
with Constants.INT_SCREEN_WIDTH_SMALL = 800 and Constants.INT_SCREEN_HEIGHT_SMALL = 600.
I can reproduce the problem on a couple of computers with Windows Xp but it's not happening on all the computers I've tested.
Any idea how to fix this (without telling my users to Uninstall the current Air Player and reinstall the Air Player 2.7)?
Regards,
Bart

Hi Bart,
Unfortunately the correct screenshot link appears to broken. Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes. It would also help if we had a sample project/application that we can reproduce this issue with. If you'd like to keep this private, please feel free to send it to me directly at [email protected]
