Appleworks format problem 10.6.2 Leopard to Snow

I am having a problem with Appleworks document format. I just Upgraded from Leopard to Snow.. 10.6.2 yesterday. So far the only problem I have had is whenever I go to Document to change page margins the boxes come up blank and if you type in a margin number it says "Invalid Number".
If I close Appleworks and re-open it then the document works for a while. But boxes go blank again in margins and Scale by Percent.
I am assuming this is a Leopard to Snow upgrade problem for I never had this problem before.
How do I connect with Apple support so they can get this glitch fixed. Boy, I hope that this new system is not fraught with problems. I have downloaded all new Updates as of this morning.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Whenever you do an OS upgrade, it's a good idea to follow up by repairing permissions. Launch Disk Utility, choose your startup drive, First Aid, and Repair Permissions.
Since the problem affects AppleWorks, I would also delete the AppleWorks preferences files.
Go to yourname > Library > Preferences
Locate and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
In the same Preferences folder, locate and open the folder AppleWorks.
In the AppleWorks folder, delete the two preferences files and the two cache files.
If you have made extensive changes to the Button Bar, or have no issues affecting the Button Bar, leave the Button Bar file as is. Otherwise, delete this file as well.
AppleWorks will create new copies of these files as they are needed.
While you're doing this maintenance, you should do one more task—clear out Recent Items.
Go to yourname > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Starting Points > Recent Items.
Delete all or most of the items in this folder. These are aliases to the files named, not the files themselves. Deleting the aliases has no effect on the actual files, but does allow AppleWorks to run faster.
Regards,
Barry
PS: If this issue affects software other than AppleWorks, you may want to post a similar question in one of the Mac OS X v10.6.x (Snow Leopard) forums and or Provide OS X feedback directly to Apple.

Curious appleworks font problem in leopard

After a lot of back and forth with Xerox software engineering, I've managed to get my ancient trusty Phaser 3400 up and running in leopard, with the single exception of appleworks. Printing is fine from all other programs, and in appleworks graphics and layout are fine, but all my fonts appear as a horribly jagged helvetica, as though the printer can find no fonts. Xerox was stumped by this and so am I.
Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone run into this before? (I did an erase/install to leopard and copied over the appleworks app folder).
EDIT These same files print just fine from my Canon i9100, and equally badly from the phaser whether I use its ppd, the apple driver for the model that superseded it, or "generic post script printer."

Hello Barbara
Glad to read from you.
Have you re-installed the fonts which you used in AppleWorks which are not available in Leopard?
The set of fonts delivered with Leopard is different to the one delivered with Tiger.
We may think that some fonts are not correctly identified by the coelacanthus named AppleWorks.
Maybe AppleWorks wants that they are available in the User's account Font folder.
Try to duplicate fonts whose name resemble to your original ones from
"Macintosh HD:Library:Fonts:"
to
"Macintosh HD:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Fonts:"
Now, I will try to sleep.

Problems with ViaVoice under Leopard, especially key mapping problems

ViaVoice's behavior has changed considerably under Leopard. First I will discuss the key mapping problem, since I'm eagerly looking for an answer to this problem. At the end of this post, I will voice some of the other problems I've experienced for those who may be interested. The key mapping problem may be specific to the fact that I use a foreign keyboard with a US version of ViaVoice.
INTRO:
I have used ViaVoice on my Mac for years, more or less without problems (ViaVoice's bugginess is notorious).
Those who know ViaVoice will know that one has two general options for dictation. One can dictate into ViaVoice's so-called SpeakPad, which allows special formatting, editing and dictation error correction within the dictated text, or one can dictate into "external" software such as Microsoft Word, in which case ViaVoice just sends a string of characters to that software. SpeakPad appears to make strong use of the operating system's built-in functionality for character formatting, document formatting, etc.
*MY PROBLEM*
I have a German keyboard on my PowerBook, yet dictate in US English. When I dictated into SpeakPad under Tiger, all characters appeared correctly. However, when I dictated into Microsoft Word using Tiger, I had to switch the keyboard mapping from German to US to get all characters (that means including the characters that are located at different positions on a German keyboard than they are on a US keyboard such as y, z, apostrophes and parentheses) to appear correctly.
Under Leopard, things have changed. Now it doesn't matter whether I dictate into SpeakPad or Word; the results are the same and many characters do not appear correctly.
If set to a German keyboard, y and z appear as expected. To name a few irregularities:
"(" appears as ")"
")" appears as "="
apostrophes appear as "#" and
";" appears as ","
If set to a US keyboard, y and z are interchanged. "(" and ")" appear as expected. Apostrophes appear as "\" and ";" appears as ","
By comparison, if typed (as opposed to dictated, as in the examples above) "correctly" (i.e. based on the letters printed on the keyboard) on a German keyboard set to imitate a US keyboard:
y and z are interchanged
apostrophes appear as "|"
"(" appears as "*"
")" appears as "(" and
";" appears as the symbol for "less than"
Since I don't have a US keyboard, I can't say how it would behave if set to imitate a German keyboard, i.e. if there's a correlation to the results I get when I dictate.
Since I was previously able to dictate correctly into SpeakPad by setting the keyboard to "German" and into Word by setting the keyboard to "US," I presume that this is a problem in Leopard, not ViaVoice.
*OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VIAVOICE UNDER LEOPARD*
In addition to the aforementioned key mapping problems (that may be specific to those of us with foreign keyboards), ViaVoice appears to have lost considerable functionality in Leopard. I cannot access SpeakPad's Preferences and the correction window. Moreover, the traffic-light like window buttons have disappeared from the VoiceCenter (although they work if you click where they should be). SetupAssistent appears to function.
I've written to Nuance about these problems, but have little hope that they will invest the time in producing a patch since they haven't released any updates since 2003.

Thrums1,
I've never had to "register" ViaVoice after updating the system. I thus suspect you haven't fully followed my above, three-step advice (particularly step 3).
1) Reinstall ViaVoice from CD.
2) Update to the latest version (using the patch downloadable from Nuance's website).
3) Replace the “temp” and “users” folders (in the "ViaVoice" folder at the upper level of your home directory) by a previous copy thereof. When I say previous copy, I mean a copy from when ViaVoice was still working properly, e.g. a copy from when it was running under Tiger.
As I said, I've gotten ViaVoice to survive several system updates by following the above steps. To my knowledge, the last step is critical since it saves you from having to reconfigure ViaVoice under the new operating system (in this case Leopard). I suspect that ViaVoice is crashing on your system because it's trying to start some module of the SetUpAssistant that is incompatible with Leopard (as many are). If you instead use old copies of the "temp" and "users" folders (from the previous system), then ViaVoice doesn't have to go through the initial "registration" process; ViaVoice doesn't need the SetUpAssistant; and all is (more or less) fine.
Good luck!
BTW, to my knowledge, Dictate only runs on Intel Macs. It thus won't run on a G4 iBook, just as it won't run on my PowerBook G4.

Downgraded to Leopard from Snow, but now have problems with Library files

I downgraded to Leopard successfully, everything at this point OS wise is working. However, when I go into mail it is asking me to set up a new account. I can see all the info in the mail folder. Same thing goes with Safari. All the bookmarks and everything are in the Library folder, but they will not show up in when loading Safari. It seems as if the files are all there, but the older versions cannot read the data and thinks it is not there. Didn't SL convert the data the first time it was run? Is there a conversion program to take it back to the 10.5.8 version?
Thanks.

1. How exactly did you downgrade to Leopard?
2. Do you have a backup of your data made before you upgraded to Snow Leopard?
Snow Leopard does convert some data files to a format incompatible with Leopard & Apple does not provide a way to convert it back. This is no problem if you have a backup of the files in their former state (especially a clone of the drive or a Time Machine or similar backup), otherwise it is difficult to impossible, depending on the data type.

Exception in XML Parser (format problem?)

Hi Experts,

We are getting the expected Structure when we AS2 Receiver has the xml format. But while doing module development with the strctxml2Plain, we are getting the below error in RWB CC Monitoring.

Any ideas, why this error we are getting.....
Thanks in advance,

Vasu

Hi Vasu,
Not in the Mapping of IR.
In BIC Mapping Designer you have to test with the standard Mappings by providing the sample file whether the Conversion is happening correctly or not.
You have to take the same input file that what ever you are having now.
So that it will say clearly what is the problem in converting the XMLto the required EDI Format...
Check whether you have any Date Format Values are comming from the input file.

Problems after reverting to leopard

Hi I was wondering if any one was having problems with imovies after reverting back to leopard from snow leopard?
Snow leopard wasnt compatible with some of the programs i needed for work so I re-installed leopard from the disk provided, I then reinstalled the ilife applications (including imovies) and installed all updates. when i then open an imove project all the clips, chapter markers etc are there but when i try and watch it there is no video output, the sound from the clips is still present however.
i also have similar problems with iDVD as projects saved in time machine wont open. nor have the themes been installed from the DVD

Hello and welcome Cassie,
We'll need a bit more information to be sure of the problem.
Can you provide:
1. A more complete description of your Mac? (model, processor, RAM)
2. A more complete description of the kind of re-installation you performed? (Was it an archive and install?)
You can get the Mac info by going to the Apple Menu (top left) and selecting "About this Mac" - then clicking on "More Info" in the info window which appears. You can copy-paste the above info in your reply.
The probable reason you can't access your iMovie and iDVD projects in a Time Machine backup is that you probably ran TIme Machine - after - installing Snow Leopard. TM is designed to work "within" the OS environment and might not be able to "cross back over" to 10.5. That is just my "working theory" at the moment, others may have more correct information.

Attempt to process file failed with Exception in XML Parser-format problem

Hi all,
Iam getting an unusual error in the J2EE stack in XI.
And the message is:

My scenerio iam posting IDOC to a flat file with content conversion in the receiver side,the mapping got executed successfully and in the audit log i found that the error was after the 'Start converting XML document content to plain text'.
This means that error occured during content conversion of XML to the prescribed file format.
Can anyone suggest any better approach using which we may trace the junk data in IDoc. Manual adhoc approach could take time and is error prone.
Thanks in advance...

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for the early reply. I checked the mapping and everything is fine and the output is also in valid XML format.
The audit log shows that the mapping got executed successfully and the error is after the step 'Start converting XML document content to plain text '. Is there any constraint in the file adapter regarding the message size for parsing.

Smartform: Formatting Problem with QUAN-Field

I want to print a smartform and get exception 1 (formatting error). With function SSF_READ_ERRORS I get an error table. There is on entry: errnumber = 020011, msgid = SSFCOMPOSER, msgty = E, msgno = 601, msgv1 = wa_outtab-menge.
It seems to be a formatting problem with field WA_OUTTAB-MENGE. But in the structure this field is referenced correctly.
Does anybody know a solution?

I solve this kind of problem in my SmartForm.
Try this:
Go to "Global Definitions" Node, then "Current/Quant.Fields" tab and set these values:
Field Name: WA_OUTTAB-MENGE
Reference Field: WA_OUTTAB-MEINS
Data Type: QUAN

Format problem when export to RTF

Hi,
Iam creating a RTF template, when export to pdf everything working fine. However, when i export to RTF(word) alot of document properties got lost such as :
font size default to 12 when it's blank line; page number are not re-start for multi sections; table properties not holding, header, footer and edge margin are not holding, etc...... Is there any way to fix these. I tried to create a word macro to fix some of the format problems, but the macro have to run manually instead of initialized form a text field option on exit. Any idea on how to fix or work around would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tam

Do you know if and when Pages will provide support for tables in rtf format? (My school requires that I send all assignments rtf format.)
As Yvan points out, no one here can write what they know about it, and the vast majority of us know nothing about it.
You cannot take any decision based on the assumption that Pages will one day support tables in RTFs, because it may never happen. If you need both RTF and tables, the only option is another tool (like NeoOffice, TextEdit, MS Office and so on).

Convert Web Page to PDF formatting problem - 1st line of each paragraph outdented

Hi Folks,
I get a formatting problem when I convert any web page to PDF using the 'Convert Web Page to PDF' option - the 1st line of each paragraph is outdented.
eg if i convert http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/whats-new-acrobat-xi.html I get this:
I get the same problem using IE 9, Chrome (latest) or Firefox 30.0. I don't get it converting a Word doc to PDF.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on a PC running Windows 7.
Is there a simple setting somewhere I am missing?
Any help much appreciated!

Are you using "Adobe PDF" or "PDF or XPS?" I sounds like "Adobe PDF," but trying to be sure. Have you updated your Acrobat to the latest version? If not, try that.

Date Format problem...

Hi users,
Forte version : 2.e.2 and ForteWebSDK
Datacase : Oracle
We have a problem with a simple HTML text field which acccepts
a date. When we try to update the record with some date, the following
exception occurs:
24-Jun-1998 04:32:28 : XV01086 : Execute failed for SQL statement in
project Rap
tServices, class RaptSqlMethods, method updateActivity, methodId 104,
line 51, e
rror from database is:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input
string
The Oracle manual says that the above exception occurs when there are
some extra characters on that field, which is not the case. In fact,
we raise our own exception for the cases like : o1-Apr-1997,
01-apr-97 etc. The correct format is 01-apr-1998.
Same date soemtimes is added to the database successfully. Waht I mean
to say that the exception deos not occur consistently.
We just conevert the String taken from the HTML field into a Forte
DateTimeData Object and send it to database. May be, the conversion
part is causing the problem. But, once again the problem is not
consistent.
Any ideas in this will be appreciated.
Thanx in advance

We had the same problem when our application first went live. The
default date format for our Oracle database is 'dd-mmm-yy' without the
time component. The default format for datatype DateTimeData is
'dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:ss'. Since we did not want to change the default date
format for the Database, we included in our service partitions an Alter
Session statement to change the NLS_Date_format attribute in Oracle to
conform to the Forte DateTimeData format. It worked.

Subject: Re: Date Format problem...
I was having the same problem a few weeks back when I would
read/write
dates to Oracle. I was using objects of type DateTimeData and I would
occasionally get errors like you said you were. I found discovered my
problem. Sometimes I would process a null date and would get an error.
So to
resolve this issue, I simply changes my objects of type DateTimeData to
type
DateTimeNullable. This enabled my Forte Application to handle regular
dates
as well as null dates. I have not gotten any oracle errors since then
with
regards to dates. Hope this helps.

Records truncating (formatting problem)

Hello all,
I am writing a script wherein a SQL generates another SQL.
Lets say that we have a varchar2(2000) column with around 1500 characters in each record. When I try to write a script it only returns the first few characters of it and doesnt print the remaining data in the record.
Example
insert into baba values(353521,'200410',1,1,18-JUL-
03,'ELOPEZ5','Y','Y' ,,'Have
insert into baba values(353521,'200410',1,2,18-JUL-03,'ELOPEZ5','Y','Y','Give
It truncates the remaining part of the inserts statements. I guess this is a formatting problem. I set the linesize to 999 and it didnt solve my problem.Please let me know what else I can do.
Thanks,
Dola

Hello Garcia,
Thanks a lot for your response. I tried putting line feed as you suggested and this didn't work too. This time
it didn't even give that coulmn

Problems with AppleScript Editor.app in Snow Leopard

I have been using the Satimage.osax scripting addition with Script Editor.app in Leopard without problem. After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, the Script Editor.app was replaced by AppleScript Editor.app in which the following one-line script
change "," into "." in "3,1416"
compiles without error but it gives an error when I try to run it: as if AppleScript Editor.app was not able to load the ScriptingAdditions (despite the fact that it correctly shows the dictionary for the Satimage.osax scripting addition).
When I decided to get back the old "Script Editor.app" and use it in Snow Leopard to run the above script, I found... no error! It ran correctly.
Anybody observed similar problems with the AppleScript Editor.app and ScriptingAdditions?
Can anybody offer a solution other than trash the new AppleScript Editor.app and stick to the old Script Editor.app?

Post to the AppleScript forum under OS X Technologies and send a message to Satimage.
