Automatic Double-Space after inserting a character (eg. &)

Hi,
I haven't had this problem previously, but recently whenever I type a bracket or 'and' symbol it automatically inserts a space after the space. For example...
"everything was great (Decker,2004)." as opposed to "everything was great (Decker,2004)."
How do I turn off this automatic double-space? I've looked everywhere, can't figure it out.
Thanks

Hi Laura,
The forum is working against you as well. The forums software strips out extra spaces in the display of a post, although it shows them in the compose window, which let me locate them. I replaced the pair with sticky spaces, so the line above (and below without the quotation formatting) should appear more as you typed it.
"everything was great (Decker,2004)." as opposed to "everything was great (Decker,2004)."
The first place to check is Pages > Preferences > Auto Correction. Someone may have added this to the auto correction list. Unlikely, due to the number of steps that would have to be taken, but possible.

Double space after apostrophe in iMessage

Ever since I updated to Mavericks, iMessage on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012) adds a double space after I use an apostrophe! It also doesn't save my background color preference (but it does save font color, font, and other user's font and color). It only shows up for me, not for the person I send the message to.
It looks like this:

Hi,
The Original Poster newer came back with any more info on the subject.
This also left her Balloon (or Background) colour unresolved as well.
In Messages 8 (Mavericks) the Smiley function now uses the Emoji font to create the Smilies.
In iChat versions and Messages 7 you could show the Smiley drop down and mousing over the Smilies would reveal the text keystrokes that would be needed to create it if typing them.
This does not happen with the Emoji Font.
However most of the icons are created by double character info which may mean a keystroke might just be invoking it.
Playing with these settings may provide something.

Automatic double reboot after installing update

Hello everyone,
After installing update 10.5.6, my computer automatically restarted twice (the double "bong" sound). I was wondering if this is an unusual occurrence or part of the normal system update sequence.
Have not had this occur previously and was wondering if anyone else had this effect when installing 10.5.6
Thanks.
joe

My iMac and my wife's MacBook both did the double reboot. It scared me the first time my iMac did the double reboot on 10.5.5 but this time I expected it. On my wife's MacBook it also had a firmware update and for the first time since we bought her computer I heard the fan going at a really high speed for a couple seconds and then stop. The fan has never since come on that fast so I guess it was the computer was just testing the fan.

Looping issue and extra space after inserting in DW page

I found an answer to looping an Edge composition, works like a charm in publish preview, still won't loop live on the web. Also when I insert it, it leaves a gap at bottom even though the div is 250 px high and the composition is 250px high... see www.arkaytd.com/dev2, note the gap between the edge composition and the navigation bar. Did not see anything in the code that would cause it...

Should I insert it here in the page source code?:
<object id="EdgeID" type="text/html" width="980" height="250" data-dw-widget="Edge" data="edgeanimate_assets/ArkayIntro/Assets/ArkayIntro.html"> </object>
Or in the .css file for the page?
.AnimationPanel {
clear: both;
min-height: 250px;
width: auto;
display: block;
Here: is the URL for the animation:

Missing disk space after inserting a USB flash drive

Hello everyone..
I had a little problem with my Aluminum Macbook recently
It started on last sunday, when i pluged in a USB flash drive into my macbook, all of sudden my Macintosh disk free space is gone, from about 50gb left to about 1.5gb...
I ran the disk utility check and repair it fixed the problem, but then again whenever i plug in any usb flash drive(i tried several), it "steals" my free disk space and i have to run th repair programme again..
Any idea of this problem? is it any kind of virus or something else?
thanks

Hi,
*"a restart message."* If it looks like this...
That is called a kernel panic. Sounds like the USB card software/hardware is incompatible with your Mac.

Is there a keyboard short cut key to double space my lines like there is in windows?

Can I double space my lines with a short cut? Like in windows when you hit control 2 and it automatically double spaces your lines, or do I have to manually do it at the top? Just curious.

Hi Kelsey,
Take a look at this blog on the subject. If you have some patience, you may succeed.

How do I double space a document using Pages There is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu in the format bar

How do I double space a document in Pages. The instruction say to use the Line Spacing control in the format bar, but there is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu under Format. I'm writing a novel and I am having to manually double space after every line. It is **** when I am trying to edit my work.

The computer is not too old (and neither are you ). It may be better if you could upgrade it from 10.5.8 to 10.6 ... but that would not solve this problem.
As both Paul and I have advised ... get yourself on Pages > go to the View menu and halfway down is the option 'Show Inspector'. You'll end up with a panel like Paul showed you in his post of 08:42. Let's see what you can do from there.

Hwo do i make it not double space?

BufferedReader Problem (inserting space after every character)

(This is a message I sent to an Aglet forum, however I thought maybe someone here could help me with the BufferedReader problem...with the spacing...read below)
-Blake
ok here's what I'm attempting to do.
I have a Master Aglet that creates a slave which is dispatched to a remote site. The Slave then opens a log file, reads it, and then is supposed to read the file line by line and send each line as a message back to the Master. As the master receives each line it appends the line to the window it created earlier.
I don't know what the problem is...it won't display the log file in the master window.
It does display each line on the console window.I added a println() function to make sure the String array was getting the information. There is a small problem with that as well because it inserts a space after EVERY character (BufferedReader problem??)...what is up with that? for example:
If the log file looked like: This is a log file entry.
the console looks like this when it is printed: T h i s i s a l o g f i l e e n t r y .
.... I had done something in a similiar program...and it worked just fine. here's some source code:
Master:
else if (msg.sameKind("Log")) {
try {
//println for testing purposes
System.out.println(msg.getArg());
appendMessage(" " + msg.getArg() + "test \n");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
Slave: 
File log = new File("C:\\Aglets2.0.2\\public\\WINDOWSUPDATE.log");
FileReader fr = null;
try{
fr = new FileReader(log);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println(e);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
//Get filename of log
try {
Message msg = new Message("FileName", log.getName());
mProxy.sendOnewayMessage(msg);
} catch (InvalidAgletException iae) {
System.out.println(iae.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
//read each line of file and send back to Master as a message
try{
int i = 0;
while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
i++;
count = i;
for (int j = 0; j < count; j++)
System.out.println(s[j]);
//send message back to Master Aglet with log file information
try {
Message msg = new Message("Log", s[j]);
mProxy.sendMessage(msg);
} catch (InvalidAgletException iae) {
System.out.println(iae.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
//close file reader
fr.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
}

actually i did declare s, you just don't see it there because i only posted some of the code....
I fixed the "spacey" problem by using a FileInputStream instead of a bufferedreader....
like this (i'll post the whole code here:
public class Slave extends BlindAglet {
 AgletProxy mProxy = null;
 boolean back = false;
 char[] c = new char[1000];
 BufferedReader br = null;
 int count;
 // Do some tasks when the aglet is created
 public void onCreation(Object init) {
 // Must make a note of the master here
 mProxy = (AgletProxy)init;
 // Add our own listener and adapter
 addMobilityListener(
 new MobilityAdapter() {
 // Using this as a safety check in case we get caught in a loop in the same host
 public void onArrival(MobilityEvent event) {
 try {
 mProxy.sendMessage(new Message("NewSlaveProxy", getAgletContext().getAgletProxy(getAgletID())));
 } catch (InvalidAgletException iae) {
 System.out.println(iae);
 } catch (NotHandledException ex) {
 System.out.println(ex);
 } catch (MessageException ex) {
 System.out.println(ex);
 //Are we back to origin?
 if(back) {
 back = false;
 try{
 FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("test.txt");
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i += 2){
 fw.write(c);
 fw.close();
 } catch (IOException e) {
 System.out.println(e);
 dispose();
 dispose();
); /* End of Adapter */
public void run() {
 // Are we at home base?
if (atHome()) {
try {
dispatch(new URL("atp://darklord:4434"));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
 try{
 File log = new File("C:\\Aglets2.0.2\\public\\WINDOWSUPDATE.log");

 try{
 int size = f0.available();
 int i = 0;
 for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
 c[i] = (char) f0.read();
//send message back to Master Aglet with log file information

Simple??? Want "INSERT" function to return blank space after a field, how?

All,
Am I just having a brain fart? I have a situation where I have a field that needs to return just one space, or a value that has a space before and after it.
Example:
In the text ==> I am<field>going to the office. <-- notice no space between am, <field> and going
I want it to say if FALSE, then "I am *not* going to the office."
If true, then "I am going to the office."
If true, I'm simply RETURN(""); <-- This returns a blank space
If FALSE, I have tried:
ret="not"
RETURN(" " & ret & " ");
This returns "I am notgoing to the office". <-- Notice no blank space after "not"?
I've tried
ret="not";
ret2=(" " & ret);
RETURN(Insert(ret2, 3, " "));
Still the same result. What's strange is, if I do a RETURN(Insert(ret2, *2*, " "));, then it returns "I am no tgoing to the office" <-- Notice the space between the "o" and the "t"?
Ideas?

Trailing spaces are often removed from data. In your case, the easiest thing to do will be to use what is called the "hard space" character instead of a "real" space. This is key code ALT+0160. For all intent and purposes, it looks like a space and will print as a space, but since it is not technically the space (0032) character, it will not be trimmed from your projects. Just open the quotes, turn off the NUMLOCK and hold down the ALT key and type 0160 and then release the ALT key. This will add the hard space into your string. Then if you are like me, you will have to remember to turn the NUMLOCK back on.
" not "
I'm not sure how this will post into this message, but the example above is using hard space characters.

1. Please add to the gateway init file HS_NLS_NCHAR=UCS2
Then test again with a new SQL*Plus session.
When it continues to fail, what's the character set of the Oracle database being used and how did you set the NLS_LANG in your environment?

In insert: Space after period and before carriage return is being ignored

I am using Oracle 11.2.0.2.
let say I create table temp(a varchar2(20);
insert into temp values ('value.
valuue2');
I have put space after 'value. ' but it is being ignore when I run it from linux host in sqlplus.
The space seems to be preserved when I insert it from TOAD/Windows xp.
Any idea what might be causing it.

hI,
I have the same result in SQLPLUS.
I would not rely on code with strings spread over multiple lines you should use the below code to add newlines:
insert into temp values ('Yes.Space. ' || chr(10) || 'x');This makes it very clear there is and a space and a newline.
This is much easier to maintain as well.
Just to compair the two, see below:
select
LEVEL
,substr(a ,level,1)
,ASCII( substr(a ,level,1) )
from
SELECT
'YES.Space.
x' A

Automatic space after numbered list items

Is it possible to have pages automatically add a space after the number and dot with numbered lists? For example, have it automatically add the text "II. " as opposed to "II.". It would save me having to keep typing the space. Thanks

OK, I figured it out. For anybody else with the same question, you click inspector (on the toolbar), the "text" tab, then the "list" tab. You have to change it for each number indent, but change the text indent. I found that something between .25" and .3" is good for me.
