Annoying plus sign in table columns

I create a table on a pages layout document, and enter values (numbers) in columns.
A small + symbol within a small square appears in the right side of each cell, obscuring the right hand side of numbers or other data I have entered.
So far I have found no way to remove these symbols, and I do not understand the reason for their presence.
They seem to be some kind of 'invisible' and do not print, but I would still like to know how to remove them so that I can see each cell's contents clearly.

Fonts include some built-in space in addition to the actual height of the characters. You can see the it in this example of lead type. Note the space below the descenders of the y, q and p characters, and above the t (slightly shorter than other characters with ascenders). Most characters with ascenders would reach very close to the top of the type block, like the ampersand, and other symbols in the lower row. Electronic 'type' includes this space as well, as an aid to readability.
Regards,
Barry

How to finally get rid of those annoying little plus sign boxes in a table

Hello everyone!
Pages treat table cells as a _*TEXT BOX*_
If those +*annoying little plus sign boxes*+ are popping up, do this to get rid of them:
1. Open Inspector
2. _*Select all*_ on your table
3. Click on T
4. Click TEXT
5. GO to _*INSET MARGIN*_ and SLIDE until the little plus sign boxes disappear.
FINALLY the boxes are gone!

Hej Fruhulda
Obviously you are one of the fortunate ones who has never had to deal with the dreaded little box with an X in it!
All of us here were seeing it all the time up until yesterday and it was driving us CRAZY!!
Imagine this:
You are trying to get some work done in Pages
In a table
You add some text to a cell
Then you find out that you have to make the table smaller because
suddenly you have to insert another table on the page
As you are making the table smaller
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Inside the cell with the text *a little box with an X in it appears* and will not go away.
If you are working with MANY cells in a table
You are looking at A LOT OF LITTLE BOXES with X's in them.
Suddenly you feel *SEA SICK* looking at all those little boxes
You read the entire iWork Manual line by line BUT cannot find anything to HELP
Your project is not a numbers candidate
You have been a mac user for YEARS and YEARS
You know your macs, you know your mac issues
WHAT TO DO
I am sure you can see the dilemma we were in!
Then all of us realized that this is similiar to a text box issue and cell padding issue from our Adobe CS suite programs and sure enough it WAS!!
That is basically the problem ALL of US were having.
So if our solution can help anyone - *WE ARE GLAD*
because they were probably getting *SEA SICK TOO* trying to get some work done
Thank your lucky stars you did not ever have this issue pop up on a deadline!!
Have a great day
( I miss my Östermalmstorg FIKA in the afternoon)

The screen no longer displays a playlist column and when I hit the plus sign the screen no longer has a right side column to let me make a new playlist. Now what?

The screen which comes up no longer displays a playlist column and when I hit the plus sign and choose new playlist the screen doesn't display the narrow right side column for a new playlist. Does this have something to do with the new iTunes version I installed?

Annoying little plus sign on shapes

I am putting several shapes together in Pages for use in another program. I do a command-shift-4 screen shot, open the little PNG in Preview, save it as a jpeg, and load it into the other program.
I discovered I could make a shape editable so I could create new shapes. Cool. But then they get this doofy little plus sign on them. I do not want it in the jpeg. How do I get rid of it?

No text is in the shape. Say I want a quadrilateral, a non-rectangular, non-regular quadrilateral. I start with a Pages square. Then. Whoa! That's it. Even though I am not doing a text thing, Pages thinks I want to so it is warning me that my shape is too small. Let's fool Pages into being more cooperative...
I went into the shape and made some text and selected it and set the font size to 4. Then I deleted the text, since I didn't want it in the first place. Now the plus sign is gone and it looks like I want it to.
Thanks for the question that turned out to lead me to the fix.

When output SSRS report to Excel, Plus sign was moved to the far left pane in Excel. How to fix it?

Hi there:
I've created a SSRS report and looks good inside Report Manager, See below . plus "+" is in the right place and
if I click it, it will expand.
However, when I output results into excel, it becomes this, notice those plus sign "+" have been shifted to the far left and they are
not line up with each month either... Is there any way to fix in the excel so that users could see exactly what they see in the Report Manger?
Thanks

Hi cat_ca,
Microsoft Excel has limitations with how it manages hidden and displayed report items when they are exported. When we export a report to Microsoft Excel format, groups, rows, and columns that contain report items that can be toggled are rendered as Excel
outlines. Excel creates outlines that expand and collapse rows and columns across the entire row or column which can cause the collapse of report items that are not intended to be collapsed. This is by design. For more information about this, please see Show
and Hide section in the link below:

Why can't I open a new Tab with the "Plus" sign or "Command-T"?

If I want to open a New Tab, I either press "Command T" or select "New Tab" from the File menu, or click the little "plus" sign in my Tabs bar - - - right? None of them work. What am I missing?

This problem in is Firefox on your Mac?
May users have discovered this problem is caused by Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific extension that caused the problem?
You might also check the Plugins section of the Add-ons page. You can use "Never Activate" to disable plugins that you don't ordinarily use.

Plus signs displaying in calculated field

I have created a form with a table that has a row that calculates automatically. I then created another form that I copied and pasted the table into. In the second form, when my users display or print the form with Adobe 7.0 Standard, the calculating field now displays a plus sign when nothing is entered to calculate. How do I make the plus sign disappear?

Actually, that was my first instinct as well, but it is not the issue. No matter how large I make the fields, no matter where I put them (IE not touching any other fields) - the plus signs still display. The really frustrating thing is that they won't display for me, just for other users. I have Adobe 7.0 Pro and we have just updated our users with Adobe 7.0 Standard. The plus signs do not display for me, but they do for the other users. To make the problem even less consistent, I had the exact same table in another form and in that form the users have used that table without any issues. I merely copied and pasted the table into the new form. I can't see any settings that have been changed. Any ideas?? Even a work around would be great.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Nested Table columns and ADF BC 11.1.2

I'm thinking ahead to a new application design, including a new database design. In this application, there are users who may not change the production tables directly, but their changes must be approved (and possibly modified) before they are applied to the production tables. The production tables are part of an existing system, and are fairly well normalized, with a master table and several detail tables.
So for the new design, I want to have a staging table, mirroring the master table, where user changes are stored until they are approved and applied to the production tables. The staging table contains a few extra columns for "add, change or delete", user who submitted the change, date the change was requested. After applying the change, the staging record is to be copied to a change history table, and deleted from staging. That way, the staging table never has a lot of data in it.
Here's the question:
I need to deal with the detail tables. I could have staging versions of each detail table, but I was thinking that it might be easier to handle if the detail tables were included as nested table columns of the master staging table. Most of the detail tables only contain a few rows per master row. But can ADF BC 11.1.2 handle nested table columns? Is it easy to use in an application?

Thanks for the quick response. I was thinking I might get a response from someone who had tried it, so I didn't waste time trying it myself. I consider your response is pretty authoritative, and I'll take that as a sign that I should forget the nested tables design.
No, polymorphic views probably won't do the job. I think I'll just go ahead and create staging versions of each detail table with foreign keys back to the master staging table. Then I'll let the wizard create the needed association objects and view links in ADF BC. It will complicate the procedure for applying changes, particularly adding a row to the change history table. But that's the price we'll need to pay.
OTOH - I just had a thought - since the change history table is mostly for auditing, it appears in some reports, but has no CRUD in the application, other than the insert when the changes are applied. If I did that insert with a trigger or some other PL/SQL, then the change history could still be a single table with nested table columns for the details.

BUG: Export DDL and Data fails for mixed case table/column names

Hi there,
I have found a bug in SQL Developer. See details below.
Description:
When "Export DDL and Data) function is used on a table/columns not named in UPPERCASE, sql generated by SQL Developer is invalid.
Steps to reproduce:
- open SQL Developer, connect to DB
- make a table named "lowerCase" (in double quotes, so it won't be automatically changed to capital letters)
- you may also add some columns, for example "lowerCol1", "UpCol2", ALLUPCOL3
- add some data rows to the table
- choose Tools -> Export DDL and Data
- check exporting of tables and data, on "filter" tabs choose your "lowerCase" table
- press "Apply"
Error:
Generated SQL contains invalid INSERTs: mixed-case table and columns are referenced without obligatory double quotes, which yields an error when generated script is executed (see below, relevant line is underlined)
-- DDL for Table lowerCase
CREATE TABLE "DBO_HT"."lowerCase"
(     "lowerCol1" VARCHAR2(100),
     "UpCol2" VARCHAR2(100),
     "ALLUPCOL3" VARCHAR2(100)
-- DATA FOR TABLE lowerCase
-- FILTER = none used
-- INSERTING into lowerCase
Insert into lowerCase (lowerCol1,UpCol2,ALLUPCOL3) values ('lc','uc','auc');
-- END DATA FOR TABLE lowerCase
Remarks
SQL Developer: version 1.2.1, build MAIN-32.13
Oracle DBs: 9.2 & Express
OS: Windows 2000 Professional
If you need any more details/testing, let me know. I'd really appreciate a quick patch for this issue...
Alternatively, do you know of any other simple way of copying a single database (it's called a schema in Oracle, right?) from one computer to another? Possibly something so simple like detaching->copying->reattaching mdf (data) files in SQL Server... I thought that this "Export DDL&Data" function will do, but as you can see I couldn't use it.
I just need a simple solution that works - one operation on source to stuff, get the resulting files to other computer and one operation to have it running there... I think that such scenario is very basic, yet I just can't achieve it and I am simply not allowed to spend more time on it (read: our test project fails, my company rejects my "lobbying" and stays with MSSQL :/ )
Thanks a lot & bye

Thanks for your reply.
ad. 1)
You're right. I just wanted to give some very short feedback on my experiences with SQL Developer, so I didn't think starting new threads would be necessary, but as I was writing it became much bigger than I initially planned - sorry about that. I will make proper threads as soon as possible. Having "Edit post" button on this forum would also be useful.

Generally, you're right - in most cases it's true that "switching DBMS is a major commitment" and "you will produce terrible code" if you don't learn the new one.
However, I think that you miss one part of market here - the market that I think Express is also targeted on. I'd call it a "fire&forget databases" market; MySQL comes to mind as possibly most common solution here. It's the rather small systems, possibly web-accessed, whose data-throughput requirements are rather modest; the point is to store data at all, and not necesarily in fastest way, because given the amount of data that is used, even on low-end hardware it will work well enough. What's important here is its general ease of use - how easy is to set up such system, connect and access data, develop a software using it, how much maintenance is needed, how easy this maintenance is, how easy are the most common development tasks as creating a DB, moving a DB from test to production server etc. There, "how easy" directly translates to "how much time we need to set it up", which translates to "how much will the development will cost".
Considering the current technology, switching the DBMS in such systems is not necesarily a major commitment and believe me that you will not produce terrible code. In many cases it's as simple as changing a switch in your ORM toolkit: hibernate.dialect = Hibernate.Dialect.OracleDialect vs MySQLDialect vs MsSql2005Dialect
Therefore, in some part of market it's easy to switch DBMS, even on project-by-project basis. The reason to switch will appear when other DBMS makes life easier => development faster. From that point of view, I can understand my colleagues giving me an embarassing look and saying "come on, I won't read all these docs just to have db copied to test server". And it doesn't mean "they are not willing to learn anything new", it's just that they feel such basic task should have self-explaining solution that doesn't require mastering any special knowledge. And if they get such simple solutions somewhere else, it costs them nothing to change the hibernate dialect.
I think Oracle did the great job with introducing the Express to this "fire&forget" market. The installation is a snap, it just works out of the box, nothing serious to configure, opposite to what I remember from installing and working on Oracle 9 a few years ago. In some places it's still "you need to start SQL*Plus and enter this script", but it's definitely less than before. I also find the SQL Developer a great tool, it can do most of what we need to do with the DB, it's also much better and pleasant to use over Oracle 9 tools. Still, a few basic things still require too much hassle, and I'd say taking your schema to another machine is one of them. So I think that, if you do it well, the "schema copy wizard" you mentioned might be very helpful. If I was to give any general advice for Express line of DB/tools, I'd say "make things simple" - make it "a DB you can't see".
That's, IMHO, the way to attract more Express users.

Plus "+" signs appear in subject when using "Mail Link to This Page" error

When I choose File > Mail Link to This Page in Safari for Windows (all recent/current versions), Safari opens a new Outlook email message window with a link to the web page I want to send in the content area of the message as it should, however the subject line contains plus sign "+" symbols between every word in the web page's title, as shown here:
Subject: Apple-+Support+-+Discussions+-+Post+Message:+NewTopic
Any tips on how to make those distracting plus signs go away?
Joe

Yeah, I've posted the same inquiry. I'm surprised we haven't heard anything back yet regarding this annoying issue w/ the "+" symbols showing up in the Subject line every time we mail a link.
Hopefully we'll get some type of assistance soon.
Good luck!

Little plus sign in the bottom right of cell

I am new to Numbers. I just set up a spreadsheet with a date. I went to the inspector to specify the format for the date, I did the time as well. When I went back to my cell there was a plus sign which I took to mean that there was more content. So, I looked and saw the time. I took out the time in the inspector but the plus sign is still there. Does anyone know why?

This behaviour is clearly described in the Numbers User Guide which every user may download from the Help menu.
Your cell width is too small to accomodate the embedded value.
Enlarge the column or change the font size.

am very new to PL/SQl Not eaxctly sure what you mean. You run the above code. It prompts you:
Enter value for enter_the_number:And you type + and hit ENTER, right? Then line:
n:=&enter_the_number;becomes:
n:=+; and is syntactically invalid. Plus must be followd by a number:
