Auto format in AS

I have installed Adobe CS3 Master Collection. I cannot use
AutoFormat in ActionScript panel. I have tried to change formatting
parameters in Preferences but it still does not operate. Earlier I
have used Macromedia Studio 8 (it was OK) and later trial version
of Flash CS3 (not from package) (it was OK).

bugs and behaviour like this is a suspicious sign of a wrong architecture,
too many cooks/programmers ruining the menu (a German spoke word), or
incomplete testing.
DPS is a massive complex system.but for these, data models and information
architecture are critical to success.
I see movement at adobe here. there are more and more people from adobe
responding to problems, actually engineering on these forums and more
concise product management. one can feel that.
but sometimes, these "funny" things happen... they don't matter to the big
publishers still on sprint 15 or enterprise level publishers with their own
track if DPS (visible in the cryptic version number for the WIRED reader
and others).
but they matter to the designers, makers, thinkers and people on the
bleeding edge of DPS actually trying to produce stuff and stumble upon
these things.

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way". I HATE this!

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to. But NO! Pages keeps changing the font size! I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size! I am getting SO FRUSTRATED! I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter! Can anyone help?

The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

How can I turn off auto formatting whilst working in the SQL Worksheet?

Friends,
Hope you can help with a quick question.
Is it possible to stop the auto formatting of SQL statements in the SQL worksheet?
e.g. When I type select * from dual it auto formats to becomes SELECT * FROM DUAL when I hit return.
I am using SQL Developer 2.1.1.64
Thanks in advance

CS3 - Auto Format doesn't compact blank lines?

In Flash 8 on OS X, using Auto Format used to remove blank
lines. I can't seem to find a way to enable this in CS3. Is it
possible?

Additional three thoughts: First, is there anything I can do while still in MS Word to enable Acrobat to see the check boxes easier? Different font? Same font, but different "character"? Etc. Second, if there is no way the check boxes can be recognized and converted, is there a way to do an after-the-fact search-and-replace, searching for the check boxes and replacing them with clickable boxes. By the way, I don't need to capture data; I just need for people to be able to fill out the form on their computer and print it. Third, if Acrobat can't do this, is there third-party form software that recognizes check boxes?

Excel auto formats cell in CSV flat file.

Hi,
I am using an etext template to generate a CSV file (comma separated) and that piece works fine. But as soon as you open the generated file in Excel, it changes the format of one of the columns to a date! And once you have opened it in Excel, saving it changes the column value, so now I have wrong data!
The field value is : 8050-09-7 (Alpha)
When opened in Excel, it becomes: 9/7/8050 (Excel auto formats it)
If I save the file as a .xls file and not a .csv file, it works, but now when I open it, the entire row shows up in one line in Excel and each field is not in each cell.
The user wants to see the output first, verify the data and save it as a CSV file and export it to a vendor software.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Shaf

Hi Steven,
I think I understand what you are trying to say.
My data is getting generated initially as XML; I merge it with my eText template to get the final output. If I save the output as .txt, its fine. But users have a hard time reading comma delimited lines, though it will work fine for the customers.

Hyperlinks won't auto format in Chrome or Outlook

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me as this is driving me crazy.
For some reason when I type a website, email or anything that should be a hyperlink it does not auto format after I hit the space bar. I have noticed this in Google Chrome and Outlook for Mac. I have checked the preferences already in Outlook and the checkbox to auto format internet extensions links is checked. Also I checked in Word if I had the same issue and I don't. Hyperlinks will auto format.
So now I'm thinking I've somehow hit some shortcut across the Mac Preference settings but don't know what it is!?! I work in email marketing so this link issue is drving me nuts!!
Please help.

Can anyone help here???
I've got further info. This is not an isolated thing with my Mac..everyone in the office experiences the same thing. In Outlook for Mac, Hotmail on Chrome, Hotmail in Firefox...hyperlinks don't automatically format when we hit the space bar or return? We are all operating in HTML format when in Outlook. We've reviewed all our System Preferences and individual program preferences to say 'Auto format internet extensions and links'.
It hasn't always been like this. Could it be due to an OS update?

How do I turn off text auto-formatting in Keynote?

How do I turn off text auto-formatting in Keynote?

You may uncheck some preferences in the Pages > Preferences menu item.
You may also define your own custom default template.
But you certainly are aware of that because it's described in the PDF User Guide delivered with every copy of iWork.

Bug in Auto Format

I copy a large chunk of code into a new project in CS3 and
press the Auto Format button, the result was that some of the '('
character disappear
the code before:
aoX = (aR * 0.607) + (aG * 0.174) + (aB * 0.201);
the corrupted code after
aoX=aR * 0.607 + aG * 0.174 + aB * 0.201;
Be careful
Yair

The promlem that Auto Format remove even it change the math
before
public function demo(val:int):int
return ((val - 5) * 7);
after
public function demo(val:int):int
return val - 5 * 7;
if val = 7
before result = 14
after result = -28
I have got weird result after I run an algorithm of painting
and thats was the reson
ANY WAY auto format should not delete any code and specially
parens

New version of Flash, same auto format bugs

When Flash CS3 came out, the first thing I noticed when I sat
down to use it for the first time was that the ActionScript Auto
Format was unusable because of bugs that were present in it. One of
the bugs was that it would actually REMOVE parenthesis from certain
lines of code, and next to object initializations. This made it
unusable because it would constantly break programs. So pretty
much, in CS3 you had this Auto Format feature (that worked
wonderfully in previous versions of Flash) that was just there and
couldn't actually be used by anyone who was going to do any sort of
serious programming. This was pretty hard to believe being that
Auto format worked fine in previous versions of Flash (I can't
remember if it was in 8 or after 8 it broke).
So I take my time, go to the Flash CS3 bug reporter, and
report the bug.
Fast forward a few years. CS4 comes out. I immediately buy
the upgrade. What's the first thing I look at? The Auto formatter.
To my dismay, it still contains the exact same bugs it did when CS3
came out years ago. I almost felt like asking for a refund. I don't
think it's too high of an expectation for a bunch of obvious bugs
to be fixed.
Then I have to ask myself, am I the only person on planet
earth who uses the ActionScript Auto format? I used to love it to
just clean up my code and indent it. I mean right now, it's just
like "there". I don't see how anyone can actually be using it in
its current state. Adobe should either get rid of it or fix it,
preferably fix it.
I guess my question is, to anyone really, or preferably
Adobe, what's going on here? Is this ever going to be fixed? It's
not really fair that a feature that used to work perfectly has been
broken in the last two major versions of Flash. Is there any
possible way for Adobe to send down a fix for this, or is there a
way for the user to fix it on their own?
Thanks in advance.

Never mind, I chose this option:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe
It finally allowed me to install. It is working. Adobe, I am disappointed that this update was so frustrating to install. Shame on you.

Migrating from older Flash Pro versions causes Auto Formatting to malfunction

I have recently upgraded my Flash CS4 to Flash CS5 on my MAC, and Flash CS5 to Flash CS5.5 on my PC, these upgrades are causing the Flash Auto Formatting feature to malfunction, it somehow becomes a tool that breaks my code and causes errors while exporting, instead of simply re-arranging the lines.
This is happening with all my codes and all my projects, not a specific line of code.
Anybody has a clue how to fix this? Is there some sort of an Adobe update for this?
Thanks folks!

Nope it is just badluck, i just answered this on another thread but google it im sure there is a way to fix this, i am sure of it.
but next time FINISH your projects before moving computers or flash versions because you might encounter this.
I have no problems with changing versions but changing computers OS is pretty understandable to cause errors.
hope this helped.

Pages: how do I turn off auto formatting and auto indenting!

I've got Pages 5.2.2 and for the life of me can't figure out how to turn off auto formatting!
When I hit return to move text to a new line, Pages automatically indents the new line, creating a new paragraph which is not what I want at all.
I'm using a blank template and have not altered the default settings at all. Any geniuses out there who can help?

If not already present, turn on your document rulers via View > Show Rulers. Does a ¯ symbol appear by itself, or is it accompanied by an inverted triangle below it? The first symbol indicates that you have a First Indent set to other than 0. The inverted triangle says that you also have the Left indent set to the First indent amount.
In Pages, if a First indent is set, any hard return will invoke a new paragraph with an auto-indent corresponding to the First Indent amount. First lines will be indented, and subsequent lines are flush left margin (unless Left indent is not 0). In word processing, we only do hard returns when we deliberately want a new paragraph. If you want to force an end of a sentence, without forming a new paragraph, with/out auto-indent effect, use either shift+enter, or control+enter.
The First, and Left indent settings in Pages v5.2.2 are here:
Toolbar > Format > Text > Layout

Turn Off Auto format that drops last line of a paragraph to next page

When I am writing multi-page papers, I will occasionally experience an auto-format annoyance where, if the paragraph I have written ends with just half a life of text on the next page, pages automatically drops the last full line of text down to the next page as well. I suppose pages does not want the short line to be lonely, but it leaves a large gap at the bottom of the page - particularly when the lines are double-spaced. I often have page limits on my assignments and am trying to squeeze as much in as possible int he space I am permitted, so losing these lines of text can be a great annoyance. How do I turn this feature off? Thanks.

CS5 will not compile AS3; no AS3 Syntax Check; no AS3 Auto Format

I had the trial version of CS5, but it expired. I bought the upgrade and tried to modify a previous Document Class from CS3 in AS3, but the Syntax Check just gives me the error beep, not the happy "ding" with the no errors popup. I try to click the Auto Format and the IDE pops up an error window: "This script contains syntax errors, so it cannot be Auto Formatted. Fix the errors and try again." No errors are in the ouput window (even with either Filter level). Document Classes do nothing even though the compilation runs without any problems; no errors, but no code execution (not even a trace("x");).
This seems related to the "no code hinting" posts, but I've tried their workarounds, but nothing seems to get my AS3 engine working properly.
I have removed, reinstalled & rebooted 3 times, the demo version and LWS version (which have different sized install Setup.exe ?!?!), and tried the Adobe update. I also tried using the 4.1.0 flex_sdk, but I've found no solution.
All the code I am trying in CS5 comes from CS3 and Sytnax Check fine and Auto Formats correctly. AS2 in CS5 functions as expected with Syntax Check and Auto Format working just fine.
My repeated Web cases through the Support Portal have been denied and they tell me to post it here. I posted to the Flash General forum, but no one had anything to say.
I'm on Win XP Pro SP3.
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
It sounds to me like you may need to find a clean up script after the app is uninstalled. Or you can try just a few bits and pieces or you code to start with in a new file. That's the only thing I can think of besides reformatting to clear your entire registry of Adobe Flash items. I always do a reformat of my entire computer everytime a new version of the Adobe products comes out, saves a bit of headache.

Syntax check and auto-format disagree

Flash 8 Pro: Well, I'm coding along quite nicely and decide
to auto-format. Auto-format says the code has errors, the syntax
check says there are none. I can run my code (though it's not doing
what I want) without getting an error.
Are there specific scenarios that cause the syntax check and
auto-format to disagree?
In just about every other development tool I've used, it will
auto format regardless of errors, even if the formatting is messed
up. it's a good aid to highlighting syntax errors! Why can't flash
do the same?
Thanks,
Paul

Well, after commenting out lots of code until the error went
away and then removing the comments and making some tweaks, the
problem has gone away..

Exchange 2013 OWA is not auto formatting hyperlinks when forwarding a message

I have 2 sales managers in a company that receive sales leads via email from our website. The email is formatted in HTML with a table containing the name and email address of the customer and the url of the product they're interested in from our website.
The managers then forward this email to the next available sales associate to contact the potential customer.
The first sales manager uses Outlook and receives the sales lead email with active hyperlinks intact for the email address of the customer and url of the product. When you inspect the email, there is no href code in the source, so outlook is recognizing
the types 'email address' and 'url' to make the text active. He then forwards the email to sales with active hyperlinks in the source. (they prefer this)
The second sales manager uses OWA. when he receives the email, the email address and url are plain text (which is how its coded) so when he forwards the email to sales there are no hyperlinks.
Is it possible to set OWA (for exchange 2013) to auto format (recognize then format) email addresses and url's from an email when forwarding it that didn't have the href code in the source to begin with? ...like Outlook does?

Hi,
Does this issue happen on all the OWA users or on specific user?
Does this issue happen when sending emails by HTML format?
Thanks,

Auto Formatting Mail

New to the forum, so apologies if this question has been asked a million times. Trying to get Mail to auto format similar to Entourage for Mac. Mail currently does not auto capitalize first words in a sentence, auto cap 'i' or words with 'i' that should be capitalized (i.e.. I'll). Are there AppleScript commands out there that I can import that can be added to mail to create rules to allow for these formatting options?

Did u find an answer to this problem? This is really annoying me as well. the other annoyance I am trying to find a solution for is getting Mail.all to automatically include a space between the end of a sentence and the beginning of a new sentence. Please let me know if you have a solution for either or both these issues.
Thanks!
