Alternating table fill style and cell style (CS3)

Hello,
I have a problem with alternating rows.
When I apply alternating row fills in a table,
it only seems to work if I don't use any cell styles.
As soon as I apply a cell style, the fill defined in the table style disappears.
I tried setting the fill in the cell style to 'none' and to 'ignore',
but it still is overriding the table style apparently.
Is this normal? Can something be done about it?
Or should I apply different cell styles for every other row?
How could I do that easily?
I don't find anyway to select multiple non-adjacent rows.
Thanks for any help.
InDesign CS3, WinXP.

Z, I had a similar problem. The two provide contradicting info for some reason and program grabs just one. I would remove the cell style and work with just the table style. Set the fills in the table style then apply a cell style if you want to align only the text within. Hope this helps.

How do you have the bottom stroke of a table show up using Table Styles and Cell Styles only?

I am using InDesign CS6, and I want to create a Table Style that has the bottom stroke show up, but does not have a table border, such as:
However, whenever I try to change the Table or Cell strokes so that the last stroke shows up, I get the entire table border, or some strange combination of borders:
Does anyone have any insight on how I can get the bottom stroke to show up while preserving my other stroke properties? Since I work with long documents, it's necessary to be able to control all of my tables through Table Styles and Cell Styles, and not by manually changing each and every table with the Stroke palette.
For reference, here are the my current Table Style properties and the resulting table:

Michael Murphy is the InDesign style-meister. He wrote "Adobe InDesign Styles" for Adobe Press, and did a great Lynda.com title on InDesign styling. Here's what he says in the book:
"As mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, with all the power of table and cell styles, it is important to understand not only how they work and what they can do for you, but also to understand their limitations.
"Two formatting features missing in table and cell styles have already been discussed: You will always have to set the column width and row height of cells when applying a table style for the first time, and you will always have to convert body rows to header and/or footer rows every time you apply a table style for first time or update the table's data....
"But there's another kind of limitation that's important to keep in mind as you are designing tables: It is very easy to design a table that cannot be completely defined by a table style. In many cases, you'll need to define an extra cell style or two that lets you complete for formatting. [my emphasis]."
So I think that's what you have to do: Apply another cell style on top of the cells at the bottom of the table after applying the table style.

Newbie: 7210 style and 9914A style controller ??

I'm new to GPIB, and am considering implementing Labview or HP VEE.
I'm in the stages of identifying a controller that supports both
packages. I've seen some references to 7210 style and 9914A style
cards. Is there a significant difference, or is this transparent to my
application? Is it dependant on the software application, or the
equipment I am interfacing with?
Also, where's a good place to get GPIB cables? Controller (preferably
PCI)?
Thanks.

Unless you are designing equipment that uses these ICs there is no need
to worry about it.
FYI the 9914A (from TI) is no longer available
The 7210 (from NEC) is only marginally superior.
National Instruments makes replacements that are supersets of these old
ones.
They also make one that is much better than either.

Since I like NI (National Instruments) I sould say you can buy everything
you need from them.
I will say that their cables are a little less rugged than those available
from HP
(Hewlett-Packard or is it Agilent now ??).
Some GPIB caveats:
No more than 15 devices can be connected to the same controller.
At least half of these must be powered up.
Maximum cable length is 15m (you can usually get more at lower speeds).
No more than 2-3 m between each device.
None of these are hard and fast rules but if you follow them there should be
no problems.
Shameless plug GO WITH LABVIEW !!

How can I export table and cell styles to use in another InDesign document?

I've been looking…and looking but can't find out how to export table styles within InDesign CC. If there is a load table styles option within the panel, it stands to reason there should be an export. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Frank, John's solution is it. But that also requires that you have those old files easily on hand to access. Maybe even searching for them in the future, 3 months down the road, could be a pain. You can always save a Library for that file and drag some of those styled elements into that library. Save the library in a place that you will keep access to and readily pull assets from. In the future doc open that library and drag the styled element into your new document and the styles are now in the new doc to reuse. I have a library saved just for tables.

Styles and CSX styles

I imported a Word 2007 doc into a new RH 7 HTML project, and
I'm grappling with styles that aren't in RH 7 css or htts and
weren't in the Word template, either.
For example, when I highlight a paragraph that was a BulList
paragraph (in Word), the RH HTML Formatting ribbon displays the
style as BULLISTCXSPMIDDLE.
How do I fix this? If I try to edit the styles, there is no
BULLISTCXSPMIDDLE listed in the Styles dialog. Further, RH
instructions for deleting a style (from the Styles dialog) state:
Click "X". There is no "X". Rather, when I highlight a style I want
to delete, the Delete button becomes unavailable.The RH Styles
dialog has a neat list of Character and Paragraph formatting...and
then "Other"...how do I relate what's in this dialog to the "stuff"
that shwos up in the Formatting ribbon?
Further,

I can't speak specifically to Word-to-RH styles, but when you
see a style in RH all in caps, that means that RH can't find it in
the style sheet or in topic styles. That's why you can't find it in
the style sheet, either.
It should be sufficient to highlight the paragraphs in
question and select the Normal style (or whatever style you want it
to be).
As for getting that BULLISTCXSPMIDDLE style to never show up
at all, I don't know about that one.
Hope this helps,
Ben

Difference Between Rule Box Styles And Code Styles?

Hi, Don't blame me for this stupid question: What is the difference between an ID style created with the New CSS Rule Box. (The style appears in the DW styles panel and can be edited with a click) And a style created in code example: id="name" (style does *not appear in the styles panel and can only be styled with proper code) *or I have to apply a style to it with the New CSS Rule Box. Or do I do something wrong?!
Greetings

Hmm, you are definitely confused. I hope things will become clearer when you have had a chance to read my book. (BTW, "Getting StartED with CSS" is not Dreamweaver-specific, but once you understand the principles, you should find working with the CSS Styles panel easier.)
Styles can be in three places:
In an external style sheet
In a <style type="text/css"> block in the <head> of the page
In a style attribute in the opening tag of an element (inline style)
You should basically forget about inline styles. They are rarely used, except for creating HTML newsletters (some email programs don't support CSS any other way). Concentrate on the first two types: both of them show up in the CSS Styles panel. An external style sheet is more efficient, because rules stored externally are shared by all pages linked to the style sheet.
Some rules (tag selectors) redefine the way an HTML element is displayed in a browser. For example, the following rule applies to all paragraphs:
p {
font-size: 14px;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 10px;
Other selectors are applied using the class or ID attribute in the opening HTML tag. Deciding which selector to use is one of the most confusing things when you first start with CSS. My advice is to start with tag selectors. Leave classes and IDs until you need to make something look different from the rest of the page.

Tagging character styles and paragraph styles in inDesign

I'm working on a complex book in which everything on the pages is styled.
I've been asked to tag the vocabulary terms in the text, so that the correct page number shows up in the index.
I've been asked to tag the folios as well, for the table of contents.
The folios are a paragraph style.
The vocabulary terms are styled with a character style.
How do I do this?
Any help much appreciated.

InDesign's built-in Table of Contents function picks up text based on paragraph styles. I'm not sure you really men, though, that you want to pick up the folios, if you are using the term as I understand it, to mean the page numbers. You really want to pick up the various headings used to identify the topics or titles. ID will supply the page numbers.
As for the indexing, there may be a script that can find text with a particular character style assigned and add it to an index (you should ask over in the scripting forum: InDesign Scripting) but you should also read the Help on Indexes and learn more about how they operate.

Differences between left join in oracle8 style and oracle10g style

Hi,
I need some help to figure out what impact can be, on a product, the migration of query left join syntax from the Oracle8 one to the Oracle10g:
we have a product that uses Hibernate configured to use the Oracle8 dialect to perform queries which uses the (+) sintax to perform outer join query, and we encountered a bug in that dialect that is forcing us to move on the Oracle10g dialect which uses the ANSI 92 style to perform outer join queries.
Someone know if there are differences/bugs/incompatibilities for outer join query written using the ANSI 92 style instead the Oracle8 style like DB functions (like NVL(), DECODE(), and so on) that work in a different way using a style instead the other?
Thanks.
Luca.

Luca.In earlier versions of 10g (i.e. 10.1.?.?) there was a few bugs in the ANSI syntax joins on SQL, but they seemed to have sorted most of those out for 10.2.?.? onwards.
Essentially there will be no real adverse effects in using ANSI syntax, and it shouldn't stop your other functions working.
ANSI syntax also gives you the advantage that you can outer join to more than one table which you can't do in Oracle syntax outer joins.

This doesn't sound right. You should put the page up again,
describe

detail.

Search & replace comes to mind, but this shouldn't be
necessary at all.
A 'div' inside a table cell just for the sake of "fixing"
some obscure
problem is not really a solution, as it doesn't really fix
anything.

Styles and Cascading Style Sheets ??

We have existing many procedures in RH5X that we have created
over the past two years. Our company has designed a new .css that
contains new styles. Is there anyway to easily and quickly apply
these new styles to our existing topics and projects?

Look at it this way. Your old style sheet had two styles
called black and white and the new one has red and green. How would
RoboHelp know that for black you want red and for white, you want
green?
I take it you cannot use the old style names to avoid this
problem. One solution is doing it manually. There is another but it
might not work so make sure you have a good backup, or two!
In your html you will find the styles look like this.
<p class="yourstylename">
You could do a multi file find and replace to change that to
<p class="yournewstylename">
With things like lists though it might not be perfect so it
wil require a lot of testing.
I am also curious that you have 75 RoboHelp licences to keep
procedures up to to date. It sounds like an expensive operation.
Just seems unusual. I would have expected these people to feed into
a smaller team but maybe there's more to it.

Why doesn't copy and past style copy the borders?

Why doesn't copy and past style copy the borders? For some reason it copies the style of the characters or numbers themselves but not any border formatting. Why is this?

Alasdair,
It would be speculation to try to guess what is going on with borders when using Copy Style and Paste Style, unless you know more about what is going on than I do. Sometimes border style is Copied and Pasted, sometimes it isn't. Based on my observations, it depends on the pattern of borders. I suppose that there could be an assignment of a shared border to one cell and not to the adjacent cell, so when copying the style you may or may not capture the border style based on which cell was selected during the Copy. I don't think it is possible to Copy/Paste a Style pattern, and I can't say why.
I find that it's most efficient to create a table with the desired pattern of border styles and to Copy data and Paste and Match Style into the table. I suppose that you have noticed that when you Copy an entire table, you capture the Style of that table. So, copy the Styled table and then paste the data into it.

Problem with paragraph and character style

Recently I have noticed that when I alter a paragraph or character style that the text won't change to the changes I performed.
It doesn't matter whether it's just the preview mode or when I clicked "OK"- no changes will be performed whether it be typeface or size.
Does anyone know what can be wrong?

My bet is that you haven't got a clear understanding of the difference between character styles and paragraph styles, and that you are using the former incorrectly.
Paragraph styles include basic font formatting information that is applied to all text in a paragraph UNLESS that text also has either a character style or a local format override (select the text and change something) applied. The formatting heirarchy works with paragraph style at the bottom, character styles trump formatting applied in the paragraph style, and local formatting trums everything else.
Select the text in question. Look in the the Paragraph Style field in the Control panel, or open the Paragraph Styles panel to see what is applied. If there is a plus sign next to the name local formatting overrides have been applied (hold the Alt or Opt key and click the style name to remove them), but character styles are not considered overrides, so if there is no plus sign, check the Character Style field in the control panel or ope the Character Styles panel to check if any character styles are also applied.

Differences between Document Style vs RPC style WS.

Hello All,
Can some body explain me the differences between a document style and rpc style webservices. Apart from JAX-RPC next version is JAX-WS, which supports document style and rpc, I also studied that document style webservices are meant for Asynchronous style of communication, where client would not block until the response is received.
In either way of writing services using JAX-WS, I currently annotate the service with @Webservice, generage the WSDL and from that WSDL I generate the client side artifacts.
Once the artifacts are received, in both styles of communication, I invoke the method on the port. Now, this does not differ in rpc style and document style. So what is the difference and where is that difference visible.
Similarly, in what way SOAP over HTTP differ from XML over HTTP. After all SOAP is also XML document with SOAP namespace. So what is the differnce here.

Once the artifacts are received, in both styles of communication, I invoke the method on the port. Now, this does not differ in rpc style and document style. So what is the difference and where is that difference visible.the difference is basically in how the data is encoded over the transport layer. in theory, you can encode some complex data structures more efficiently in the rpc style. in reality, no one ever uses these features. and since the document style is more strongly typed and much more "straightforward", most people tend to prefer the document style to the rpc style these days. (in fact, i don't think jaxws actually supports rpc style).
Similarly, in what way SOAP over HTTP differ from XML over HTTP. After all SOAP is also XML document with SOAP namespace. So what is the differnce here. none really. SOAP over HTTP is XML over HTTP. XML over HTTP has no strong specification, whereas SOAP puts lots of specs around what the XML should look like. also, obviously, SOAP can theoretically be sent over other transport layers besides HTTP (not that i've ever seen that).

Find a specific paragraph style within a table and apply a specific cell style?

I'm a total beginner when it comes to scripting, but I would like to create a script that finds the paragraph style "resultsUL" within a large table and applies the cell style "female". Sure wish the find/replace was able to account for cell styles as well as paragraph and character styles. Is anyone willing to help me with this? Thank you!

Hi,
I do it quickly defining a simple research on the "resultsUL" para style and using a loop with QuicKeys as:
Cmd-0 is a shortcut associated to the "female" cell style.
So, What I do: search the para style (Cmd-option-F) and apply the cell style, then search again…
As easy to do with QuicKeys, I think that can be easily done with a [JS] (faster process!).

How can I insert a new table whose cells are linked to Cell Styles?

How can I define a Table Style so that cells in new tables are automatically linked to my Cell Styles? (Not sure if "linked" is exactly the appropriate word....I'm going for "connected in such a way that when the Style is changed, the character/paragraph/cell/table/object updates to reflect the change.")
I thought the whole point of using Cell Styles in Table Styles would be so the cells can be automatically linked to the desired Cell Styles when the table is created -- but that isn't happening for me. I don't know if I'm just confused or if this is a bug:
When I insert a new table of a Table Style I have defined, it seems all cells in the new table are simply linked to Cell Style [None], with overrides for each cell that are consistent with the applicable Cell Style as it was defined when the table was inserted. So although the appearance of each cell is consistent with the Cell Style I defined for for that region of the table, the cells don't update if I later make changes to the Cell Styles I defined.
(If, after inserting a new table, I manually select each cell and apply the desired Cell Style, then the cells do (of course) update when I change the Cell Styles.)
Is it possible to have cells be actually linked to Cell Styles when a new table is inserted, instead of cells being simply linked to style [None] with overrides?
(I'm using the up-do-date 2014 release of InDesign CC, in case that's relevant.)

there is a example on Page 1149 of book Graphic Java 2 mastering the JFC
by David M. Geary. ISBN: 0-L3-079667-0, Try to take a look the code. It will help.
