Before Footer computation: Pagination issue

I have a page with a report region that is somewhat time-consuming to render so I don't want to render it on ever page view.
I created a hidden page item (P1_RUN_REPORT) and a button on the page that shows the appropriate "Are you sure?" message and fires a after-submit computation to set that hidden item to YES. So when the page refreshes, the report region (condtional upon that hidden item being YES) is rendered.
I also have a Before Footer computation on the page to set that hidden item to NO so that if you navigate away from the page and back to it, the report is not rendered i.e. the only time I want it to to be rendered is when someone explicitly asks for it by clicking that page button.
So far so good. But when the report paginates, my hidden item (set to NO) doesn't get a chance to be set to YES so instead of showing rows 16 thru 30, the report region vanishes!
I can get around this by using a PPR template for the report region so that just the report region is refreshed but I was wondering if there are any other techniques that apply.
Thanks

Hi Vikas,
As you have an experience manipulating the pagination links, you can use the f?p syntax to set the hidden item to yes upon pagination. I'm doing something similar following this thread - Using the "sort by column" f?p to set an item value .
I'm not sure if it is easier or better then using the PPR template, but it is a different approach, as you asked.
Regards,
Arie.

Does Acrobat Pro 9 support "page-break-before" CSS tag? ie Pagination issues

Hey there
Converting a whole stack of html files to PDF and having some pagination issues. Titles not staying with images and tables getting chopped in half by page breaks etc.
Thought i could solve it by using carefully placed "page-break-before:always" tags where i wanted the page break. Works as expected in Safari when i go to print but not when i "File:Create PDF: From File" in Acrobat Pro. They get ignored.
Here's how they should work:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html#x3
This is a major hassle. I've got over 600 webpages to convert to PDF's and manually entering to force items onto the next page is getting old.
Here's some sample html, paste it into a file, save, open it in Safari and then go to print. It should print 7 pages. Open it in Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 and you get one page.

The really nice thing is this would be so useful. You can attach the tag (page-break-before:avoid) to a Caption style and always be assured that it will stay with a following graphic when you print the webpage. Or use it to make sure a table doesn't get cut in half.

Nope. Did the thing.
Cost me some serious cash. Very annoying.
I haven't tried it with Safari 5. Acrobat allowed me set page margins, something that Safari 4 didn't allow (didn't support margin css tags). But acrobat didn't support the pagination and Safari 4 did.
Like i said annoying
I'll see if Safari 5 supports the print margins css tags.
I'll prob get asked to do this again so would like to sort it out

Table section with 3 header rows pagination issue

Hi experts.
I have a table section pagination issue. In my case the table section combines 3 header rows.
Down bellow the series of screenshots I hope they describe my example well (click on screenshots to enlarge).
1) The data context
2) Layout elements
Here is my issue (table header output at the end of the page but there is no data row):
As you can see on the first page there is no more place for a data row but the header still exists.
if I set keep with next flag on the pagination tab for all header rows the result will be:
Is it possible somehow to fix it?
I would like to have the header row output on the page only if a data row exists bellow the header, the footer should only output if a data row exists above.
Here is PDF output:

The solutions is easy. You´d better create the corresponding DDIC objects hierarchy in the backend and then use the form to PRINT the prepared data ONLY. I mean:
In your backend:
in a row there is a dataset (table) and a optional dataset (table) == DDIC structure with two "fields" of type "table" = row A
use this "row" to create the "outer" table == DDIC table type with row A
Then you can just drag and drop this structure in your adobe form and will have do difficult with formatting.

My ipad is recognised as a camera when connected to my computer running on Windows XP. When my ipad has photos on it and I connect it to my computer it is initially recognised as a camera before my computer crashes.

When my ipad has photos on it and I connect it to my computer it is initially recognised as a camera before my computer crashes. Resulting in me having to reboot the system again and going through the disc checks to resolve errors. This has happened on several occasions. On previous occasions when I have not had any photos on my ipad it has connected to my computer without any problem.Is there a way of solving this problem without having to remove all of my photos from my ipad.

Being recognized as a camera is normal. Your computer sees the DCIM folder and doesn't know the difference between a 'real' camera and an iPad.
One way to stop it could be to tell windows explorer what to do. When you plug your iPad in do you see a little pop up window listing things to do with the device? If so, there should be an option to 'do nothing', which means you tell your computer 'hey, ignore this device'. Your iTUnes will still work when you connect them, the windows protocols that search for images, etc. should just let it be and hopefully stop the crashing.

Pagination issues in Word output from RoboHelp HTML 8

Hi All,
We're generating a Word document from our online help (RoboHelp HTML 8) with MS Word 2003 installed. The page numbers inserted automatically are wrong in that it's skipping numbers. For example, in scrolling down through the document, the page number after 95 is 97. Sections of the doc are paginated correctly, but then we come to a few pages where it skips a number in assigning page numbers. Some of our users have MS Word 2003 and others have 2007, but the pagination issue is occurring in both versions of Word. (BTW, I'm developing WebHelp Pro on Windows XP.)
Today when I clicked in the Word TOC and pressed F9 to regenerate, it corrected some of the pagination problems but not all (go figure).
Is there a patch I need to download or anything?
Thank you!
Mendonite

Do the unnumbered pages have any content? This is ringing a vague bell and it was a Word issue related to blank pages.
Have you actually printed the document?

I assume you mean you saved it to the MobileMe iDisk - you were a paid subscriber to this? MobileMe closed last August (after a year's worth of warning emails and online notices) and if you didn't retrieve your files from the iDisk they have been deleted and are not recoverable by any means.

CanSplitImage Rule causing pagination issues while creating RTF output

Hi,
We are facing spacing/pagination issues when we use CanSplitImage rule for RTF output with NoFrames. It splits the section and prints in next page as expected but leaves the remaining page empty/blank and prints the next consecutive sections in the next page(basically the 3rd page).
Any suggestions on the solution based on your experience will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Bookfile re-pagination issues

I work in publishing and we deal with bookfiles (indesign CS4) which include chapters that are non-sequential in pagination ie. colour section chapters which slot in the middle of standard text chapters. We need to include these non sequential chapters in our bookfiles for indexing. Our problem is that despite switching off ALL automatic page numbering options ie. in the "book page numbering" options pallete from within the bookfile and within the "number & section options" pallete in each seperate chapter (where the desired page number is entered twice - under "start page numbering" and "start chapter numbering"), we still have frequent instances where chapters are automatically repaginating and continuing on from the previous chapter (and flipping from rhs to lhs and vice versa). This issue also extends to exporting our bookfiles as a pdfs - where similar problems with pagination occur. Looking at other forums this pdf problem at least, seems to be a common issue but the fix of saving files as IDML is not an option for us as we use a third party plugin and saving to IDML effectively strips this out.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to manage these pagination issues?

here is an example of one of our bookfiles. Chapter 31-col-architiecture (pages 284-287) is a colour section that slots into chapter 32-architecture-rom7 (pages 280-294). When this colour section is first added to the bookfile it automatically repaginates the first page to page 295, picking up from the previous chapter rather than maintaining the specified pagination (as seen, corrected, below) and throws the entire bookfile out. By doing so, it also flips the the document to start on the opposite page which has on occasion caused havoc with masterpages. Note it is not possible to physically insert the colour section into the chapter to produce a single chapter due to paragraph styles having the same names yet differing attributes (due to it being a colour section yet the content structured in the same way as the rest of the book).
our settings are as follows:
in the bookfile....
in each chapter.....
i suspect its the bookfile numbering options that arent able to be over-ridden which is the issue?
Note that we need these files in the bookfile for both indexing purposes and cross referencing purposes, and the third party pluggin we use is Typefi which is unlikely to be the issue...

Pagination Issue: Removing White Space

If you were asked the simple question: "How do I remove blank pages?" you would likely answer: "Format | Page Layout | Pagination | Before Saving & Printing: Delete Empty Pages."
If you were asked a variation of that question: "How do I remove partially blank pages?" some might answer: "Huh?"
That's my question. I have this tendency to assume that a vacuum of information on the search engines means, sadly in answer to this question, "You can't remove partially blank pages."
Before you answer, here is what I'm specifically attempting to do with FrameMaker 9:
1)   I converted a user manual in Word 2007 to FrameMaker 9. The TOC contains several hundred headings (seven levels deep). Of course, the TOC includes chapters (heading1) at level 1, and topics (heading3 through heading7) for levels 2-7.
2)   I converted the text and graphics under each heading (heading1 through heading7) to separate FrameMaker 9 files. (Each heading and all child sub-headings are "topics" that describe part of the UI for a software product.)
3)   All of the converted FrameMaker 9 files were added to a FrameMaker 9 book. The TOC in this book is identical to the TOC of the original Word 2007 file.
Each of these headings is a separate FrameMaker 9 file representing a topic mapped to the UI:
CONSOLE MAIN SCREEN....................................... 63
Inventory Control..................................... 81
Intellectual Property............................. 82
Using the Intellectual Property Page......... 83
Viewing and Configuring................ 85
Configuring Filters.............. 87
View Settings.............. 88
4)   I have linked all these files to a project in RoboHelp 8, creating a RoboHelp master page to render the help topics with exact same headers/footers in the FrameMaker 9 file. Whenever I make changes to the FrameMaker 9 files, I can open RoboHelp 8 and compile a new help project for the UI. Sweet. (It works so well, as a matter of fact, that it’s worth the cost of the Adobe Technical Communications 2 suite!)
5)   For customers demanding a PDF version that looks EXACTLY like the previous PDF rendered in Word 2007, I print a PDF file from the FrameMaker 9 book for this user manual that looks almost exactly like the legacy PDF file rendered in Word 2007.
Why “almost” exactly?
As you may have guessed, if a topic ends with a paragraph at the top of the last page, there is blank space for the remainder of that page. Whereas in Word 2007, the next heading began immediately after the previous heading!
FrameMaker 9 only has a setting on the ‘Pagination’ dialog for eliminating blank pages, not eliminating partially blank pages.
I would like to render the PDF file, printed from the FrameMaker 9 book file, with each file in the book beginning on the line immediately after the preceding paragraph of the file before it in the book (unless the style such as heading1 dictates the line starts on a new page).
In some cases, the last page of a topic has just three sentences, leaving the rest of the page blank. It seems to me that to do what I’m attempting, the recursive effect of starting the next file after the paragraph on the last page of the previous file in the book, would be to reduce the PDF by several (or more) pages. This would require FrameMaker 9 to adjust the page numbering of the PDF file (which would no longer coincide with page numbering for the FrameMaker 9 book files).
This is no different of a problem than anyone with a book that contains 10 files (each file representing an entire chapter) would face. If a chapter ends with a page containing just three sentences, one would have to fiddle with the text to get those three lines to “bump” to the previous page. In the old days of technical writing, this typical pagination flaw was a thorn in my side. I had to print the document, and if the end of a chapter contained “orphaned” text (or even a small paragraph on an otherwise blank page) I had to reduce paragraph spacing to cause that rogue paragraph to bump to the previous page, eliminating the white space. I was kind of hoping that after almost three decades of computing, that basic problem was solved. In a small book with a dozen or less chapters, it’s not a real issue, but now that I have a book with several hundred files, I’m facing this dilemma for the first time.
Suggestions, anyone? (Thanks for your patience in torturing through this message!)

Excellent ideas; Text Insets created through File Import eloquently solved the problem!
I created a separate book that I will use for rendering the PDF file for the user manual. In that book are files for entire chapters. In each chapter file are text insets for each heading file (which comprises an individual "topic" in RoboHelp).
Here is what I did:
Opened the book file containing cover, hundreds of topics and TOC, and Save Book As... [new book name] then delete all book files except for the cover and TOC.
After opening a new (blank portrait) FrameMaker 9 file, I applied all formats from my master stylesheet file.
Selected File | Import | Highlight the file | [Path\Name.fm of sequentially first FrameMaker 9 file in chapter] (select Import by Reference radio button) | Import. (The Import Text Flow by Reference dialog screen appears.)
Selected defaults (Body Page Flow: A (Main Flow) | Reformat Using Current Document's Catalogs | Automatic) and additionally selected Manual Page Breaks and Other Overrides (Under Reformat Using Current Document's Catalogs) then selected Import.
Moved the cursor to the end of the file. (This is important because the cursor is now positioned BEFORE the imported Text Inset, and the cursor needs to be positioned AFTER the imported Text Inset.)
Repeated above steps 3-5, selecting the file containing the next heading in the chapter, until the current file contains Text Insets for all topic files.
Save the file.
Add the file to the book as the first chapter.
Repeated above steps 2-8 until the book is populated with all chapters.
Update and print to PDF.
Problem solved: I obtained the desired results as per my original message in this thread.
The side question was asked as to why creating a separate FrameMaker 9 file for each heading and sub-heading (as described in my original message in this thread) is necessary. The answer is simply "budget" as the start-up company where I work wants to instantaneously generate a RoboHelp Flash Help project from the FrameMaker 9 book through linking FrameMaker 9 to RoboHelp 8, which is evidently a new function. Each heading and sub-heading of the user manual correlates to a UI screen or UI component. The User Manual was authored (before I arrived on the scene) with the intent of each heading and sub-heading in the User Manual TOC documenting a UI screen or UI component.
Therefore, instead of spending time creating a RoboHelp project in parallel, the company desired the elimination of costs associated with parallel development. Since the budget is non-existent for online help, pressing Help on any UI screen displayed a boilerplate screen instructing the customer to call customer support at a toll-free number, and a link to the PDF manual. Now, with minimal effort, the Help buttons are mapped to open the help topic for the corresponding heading in the user manual. Pressing Help opens the appropriate heading or "topic" and displays a TOC and search tabs as well (for full access to the documentation). This scheme requires little or no ongoing maintenance in RoboHelp 8 other than opening the help project, updating the links to FrameMaker 9, compiling the help project in Flash Help, and checking the help files in to Perforce for the nightly build.
Thank you once again for saving the day!

How It Was Fixed (Possible Software Bug Not Hardware): Getting the iMac Screen/Menus Garbled and/or Yellow Circle Before Getting Into Finder Issues?

Hi. Possible fix done to my late- 2009 iMac's screen/graphics issue that may work God willing, hopefully for most [In my case it sometimes had that yellow circle that appears before it goes to the Finder but mostly it was a messed up desktop and menus (unreadable mostly) after months, prayers and weeks of fixing it; recommended to be read entirely first coz' it's a bit complicated (like a lot of subplots). If uncomfortable to try coz' it involved a GPU stress test, contact your authorized Apple service center for their advice]. I had an iMac (late 2009) screen garbling a few hours ago (was weeks ago when it resurfaced until it got worse that it's at every boot on Mavericks):
† I booted to Snow Leopard USB external (my back-up OS) drive then run the first person shooter at redeclipse.net. I set everything to max, including the display, resolution and graphics setting with fullscreen and v-sync on. I then refreshed it which brought it back to normal (I then tested it's stability with GPUTest 0.7 with Furmark for 15 minutes). * if the display options have been set to max before, bring it back to the default then refresh and then max it again Possibly any games that's has the graphic settings (or more advanced) of Red Eclipse could work (other free ones are Xonotic and Open Arena which are based on Quake 1 or 3s engine I believe).
Optional but not recommended (have warrantied if that's still available or have it repaired at authorized service centers):
If that doesn't work, review articles and videos on how to open an Intel iMac and get an iPhone/iPad/another way to get to the 'net ready for research (I opened mine very carefully on the right side with a cutter with blade extended far prying it carefully then I inserted a flat end, sturdy plastic used for mixing epoxy then removed the cutter carefully to let the plastic mixing tool do the prying) to see if the cable connected to the logicboard which is on top of, is connected (mine was detached but I'm not sure if the adjusting and tilting of the screen overtime for 2 & 1/2 years, detached it) then do † above again.
It could to be a software problem, a possible Apple ATI driver bug that takes overtime to surface (2 1/2 years it resurfaced because this started in my case after upgrading to Lion when Apple coded things mostly from the ground up. Snow Leopard didn't have this problem).
Thank you for your time. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great upcoming weekend. I hope this helps.
God bless, Rev. 21:4, Matt. 16:18

Does an external display also act in a similar manner as the internal one?
Some earlier Intel-based iMacs had graphic processor card issues; not sure what
the symptoms of the majority of them were, but some had odd patterns, others
went black, and some would range from OK to totally unusable. Among others.
So there is a chance the graphic processor may be going out; or just the circuitry
that controls the backlight. An inverter may be weak or other circuit to the display
could be wearing out.
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
If you have access to an Apple Store with Genius bar, they can perform some kinds
of diagnostic tests there even though the computer is out-of-warranty; that may be
of help to narrow down the cause of the symptoms you've noticed. They may not be
able to repair it, however, at an Apple Store; as it is rather old by today's standard.
An Apple Authorized Service Provider could do repairs and testing on older models
the Apple Store's Genius and other may not be set up to handle due to vintage.
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
There is a country locator page to help find either of the above in regions outside
of the US & Canada, not sure how the above links would work; and it appears my
bookmarks to the country locator page may not be accessible now to post here.
You may be able to get an idea about what kinds of parts support the display
function by name by looking into an iFixit.com repair guide for your iMac series.
Hopefully the parts supporting the display are the reason it is dimming down, as
a graphic processor failure likely would exhibit other behaviors than just dimming.
PS: I see you've added content to your thread after I'd started working on this
& the answer likely is a hardware repair; professional testing is worth the time
and you seem to have at least one other thread on the same topic....
Good luck & happy computing!

What do I do if my mackeeper app says my computer has issues?

Ok so I was a little worried cause my cousin was visiting "innapropriate" websites on my computer and I wanted to make sure my mac was clean so I dowloaded mackeeper (I haven't bought the full version yet) anyway it said that my computer had approx.1037 issues and that I needed to clean up using instant activation and the program costs $88.00 so I was wondering? Should I be worried? Or is it just some sleazy programmer wanting to scare me into forking over nearly $90.00 so what should I do? Should I be worried?, and if so is there possibly a free application that would be better?

Get rid of MacKeeper. Uninstall it:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
For any cleanup or maintenance see:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Computer wide issue

I've been having issues with my Macbook Pro.
I have a 15-inch Mid 2010
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 288 MB
Software: OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
I also have windows 8 running on bootcamp.
On both mac and windows sides my computer will spontaneously restart itself, as well as force close many applications at any times. Often they won't open again. I'll try to reopen one and before it even starts it will say it unexpectedly quit and will refuse to open again. The range and severity of the issues are random, sometimes worse or better, and it affects no particular application.
In the laptops life I have replaced a fan, replaced the battery, and recently I replaced the hard drive. I am still getting these issues. Is there another fixable hardware or software issue? Or is my laptop biting the dust.

First back all your data.
They sell replacements online, I know nothing about them. This may not be the problem with yours, but if you did the search and read some of the posts you'll see that it is a common failing with the A1286 model mid 2010 15" MBP.
Here is an example, but I am in no way endorsing that you try replacing this unless you are willing to spend money and not have it fix your problem.
You should have it properly diagnosed by an qualified Apple tech.
Example, there are probably more from different vendors. This is just for informational purposes, again, I take no responsibility for anything.

I've created a music video,
with three PIPs in it...... under the pips, i've place
A Jpeg image (copied) ........across the entire timeline
A MP4 clip ( copied multile times ) across the entire timeine
Purpose is to have this MP4 clip and the Jpeg as my background for my PIPs with some adjusted opacity.
Issue i am having is when i create the vid and look at in Elements.. seems fine, and formatted as i expected it to be.
Took the default setting when I started the project.
See Image 1
When I do a Public Share ( as a computer file, with MPEG option, NTSC DVD Standard ) the clip plays fine.... all element are present, but the MP4 clip, seems to not fill the playback frame.   Cut off at top and bottom.
See imgae 2
Trying to fix this on my own...... I did look at various "settings" and was a bit overwhelmed   LOL by all of them. Not to mention, no idea what some of them are.
Guessing that before I started the project........ I would of needed to make some kind of a Project "format" setting....that would of compenstated for this. But.... have no idea where or how to do it.   Or.... how I can correct it on a "finished" project ....then....... re-publish.

If you did create your project, with your editing based on a 1920 x 1080 16:9 project set, then when you are ready to export:
1. If to a file saved to the computer hard drive, one choice might be
Publish+Share
Computer
MPEG
NTSC DVD Widescreen
2. If to burn to disc DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc
Publish+Share
Disc
DVD
disc
with preset = NTSC_Widescreen Dolby DVD.
The focus in setting up the project is the project preset matching the properties of the source media that are going into the project. That project preset setting directs the program as to what space to have in the Edit Mode monitor from which you edit. If you intend for a SD project (720 x 480 4:3), then project preset = NTSC DV Standard. When you go to export,
1. Export to file...
Publish+Share
Computer
MPEG
NTSC DVD Standard
2. Burn to DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc
Publish+Share
Disc
DVD
disc
with preset = NTSC DV Standard
But, before all else, go back to the current project and export it to MPEG NTSC DVD Widescreen instead of MPEG NTSC DVD Standard to confirm that is at the core of the issue.
Thanks.
