Borders and Inset Margin misbehaving:

When I try to apply a specific border to one or two cells, other cells change too.  So if I have a partial column of cells with no left border, and I put a border in one of those cells, it will not confine the change only to that single cell. I have to keep rechanging borders all over the place.
Sometimes I will Paste  Style to get the entire cell bordered, but then it will put left line (e.g.) borders in cells above or below. Or Top or Bottom lines where I don't want them.
Also I'm working with a table with two sizes. If I copy a character and paste it into another cell, sometimes it decides to inset the margin. I do not want the margin inset at all! I sometimes Select All and reset the centering several times during the job. I don't know if having two sizes makes a difference; I am only working with the smaller size.
Thanks.
Oh, I am just realizing I'm using these in Pages. Do they act differently in Pages from the way you'd expect in Numbers?

You will have to make a custom format.
1. Choose custom
2. For the format that is there already, put a space at the end or add the space format to the end.
3. Hit the + to add another formatting line for "if less than 0"
4. Type parenthesis around the format that is there.
5. If you want decimal places, drag the decimal format (.##) to both of them (before the space or closing parenthesis). Choose the number of decimal digits for each (2 is the default).
6. Hit OK
If you need negatives in red as well as parentheses, you'll have to do that part with conditional formatting.

  • Enlarged photos show white borders on left and right margins

    Should these white margins be present when viewed in enlarged format? I can't get rid of these left and right margins when printing 4x6 borderless format so I assume it needs to be corrected in iphoto first.

    Did you crop your photos?
    Most digital cameras use a 3:4 aspect ratio. When you print onto 4X6 paper, you will have bands on the sides of the photos. It's the same thing as watching a "letterboxed" movie on television with the bands at the top and the bottom.

  • IBooks Author: How do you get the inset margins applied to the caption text of gallery widgets to preview correctly on an iPad?

    Currently the inset margins I set for caption text in the gallery widget resets to zero when previewed on different iPads. These are galleries with different images and the captions are set to “individual caption per image” in the interaction panel.
    BUT the inset margins will preview correctly if the gallery caption is set to “same caption for all images” in the widget interactions panel. How does one go about fixing this in iBooks Author? Would love to hear others advice or suggestions or work arounds. Thanks!

    I found this article that shows the folder we are looking for is here --

    So I opened the files in TextWrangler to search for a word I know I highlighted in a particular book.  That helped me identify the correct file for the book I am concerned with.  I did a Time Machine restore of the file and got my notes back the way they were.

    The arrows don't show up on the iPad, they are only to aid navigation within iBA. You can use boxes in the background to frame your galleries (as the background is off). I believe it's also possible to change the colour of the dots beneath the gallery too, although I forget how to do that right now.
    About Apple's rigid UX – I agree that it can be frustrating. Apple intended iBA to be used by everyone, and the sort of design options and customisability we might want may confuse the less experienced user. Apple also wanted the UI for every book to be the same – from the point of view of the new user, once you've used one iBA ebook (or iBook, I'm not sure what Apple want us to call it), you can use them all. Otherwise end users would to get used to a slightly different UI on each book, which kind of works against the idea that ideally UI should be intuitive enough to be invisible. I can see the point in that. I have created a 'How to use' section in every iBA file I've made. It get's old quickly.
    Oh, and (you probably know this, but…) you can choose your own custom icon for audio. It's limited, as it's only a placeholder image that allows you to play an audio file, there's no ability to pause the audio or stop it once you choose the view as thumbnail choice. Something I'd like to see changed.
    Here's a link to Apple feedback page for iBA. Feel free to hammer it with your suggestions.

  • How can I change a PDF document to have an enlarged text area and smaller margins?

    I've just been reading a long discussion initiated by a guy who wanted to recompose a PDF file to print in fewer pages. I'm not asking about that. I'm aware that Acrobat Pro 9 will not recompose the pages of a pdf for you; as someone said, it's not a word processing program. I want to copy a PDF to a new file with an enlarged text area and smaller margins, so I can read it more easily. My eyesight isn't so great.
    I'm trying to print a decision of the US Supreme Court, for my study. The problem is that these PDF files of such decisions are composed in 10-point type with generous margins, in folio-size pages smaller than 8 1/2 x 11". When you open PDF files of these decisions, you get extremely wide margins and relatively small type. Essentially, I'd like to re-rasterize the document so it prints on my 8 1/2 x 11" paper in a larger apparent type size, but in the same high resolution as the original. By the way, the decision I'm working on is almost 200 pages long, so I don't want to do this, obviously, in a page by page manner.  
    I guess I could do this in Photoshop, by blowing pages up and cropping them. Photoshop does a good job of eliminating the jaggies when you do this. But it would seem better to re-rasterize the pages from the PDF source file. So would any reader be kind enough to explain this process to me? (I'm fairly savvy in Photoshop, Illustrator, and computer printer concepts, but a complete newb in Acrobat.)

    If you just want this for printing, one thing you can easily do is crop all of the pages to remove the margins. For example, you can rop 2" off the left and right sides, and 1.5" off the top and bottom. Then print using a Page Scaling of "Fit to Printable Area".
    To crop in Acrobat 9, select: Document > Crop Pages
    be sure to select All for the Page Range.

  • How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option?

    How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option?  I had someone go into the css I believe, and make it so there were no borders visible on the page (I could see the dotted outline while working on it, but when pushed, it wasn't visible (which is what I wanted).  They called it "noborders."  Since I had to reinstall, it went away.  Help?
    I have Dreamweaver CS5.5

    Try this site:  CSS Border
    Add code then type in a zero. Later add border size you want.
    examples:  border: 0px solid black;
    or
    border: 1px 000000;
    or
         border-top-style: solid; 0px 000000;

  • How to set the page size and the margins programatically

    Hello,
      I am working with crystal report XI Release2 and asp.net.
    One of my report is having 4 graphs in a single report.In order to display all the graphs in one page i have set  the paper size as A3.(Via Crysta report ->File->Page set up)
    But the page size A3 is not provided by all printers.So problem comes when the application is diployed on a machine which does not support A3 Printer.All the graphs will not be shown on a single page.
    Also Each and Every time ,when the application is diployed on a machine,user has to open the crystal report and adjust the page size accordingly to get all the reports on a single page.
    This is a kind of usability issue also.
    Is it possible to set the page size and the margins programatically say for eg 11 X 17.so that with out doing anything all the 4 graphs will get displayed on a single page ?
    Please let me know if you require more information regarding this issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    smitha.

    Hi Ludek,
    i could solve the issue by using the follwing code.
    report = new ReportDocument();
    PageMargins customPageMargin = report.PrintOptions.PageMargins;
    report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait;
    report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.Paper10x14;
    customPageMargin.rightMargin = 1;
    customPageMargin.topMargin = 0;
    customPageMargin.bottomMargin = 0;
    report.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(customPageMargin);
    Thanks for you help.

  • From Word DOC to Acrobat PDF... borders and lines get screwed up.

    I've been looking this up for days now and have yet to find a solution.
    I have a MS Word document that has a bunch of tables with borders and sometimes just text with borders for stylistic reasons. In Word, it all looks perfect.
    But, when I convert it to PDF using Acrobat, many of those borders get screwed up in various random ways.
    Sometimes certain borders get thicker, sometimes thinner, sometimes invisible altogether. Sometimes it's only certain lines of the same border (just the left side, or just the top). I see no real pattern to what's causing it to only happen in certain cases only.
    What makes it extra annoying is that if I zoom in or out a certain amount, the borders will look the way they are supposed to look. Some will look perfect at 100% zoom only, and some will look perfect at 75% zoom only.
    This has been driving me insane. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to increase page size in existing document and add margins uniformly.

    I have a long document that I must print out to PDF, but I must now increase the page size. I do not want to change the text at all; just increase the sizes of the margins. When I increase the page size , my text frame remains the original distance from left-hand margin. In other words, the top and bottom margins increase evenly, but for the left and right margins, only the right margin grows. This leaves the text frame shoved over to the left-hand side of the page (or towards the binding in a two-page spread).
    I would like for the page size to increase so that all margins increase in a uniform manner, that is, so that the text frame remains centered in the page, both horizontally and vertically. At present it is centered only vertically.
    Thanks very much.

    A word of caution is in order regarding changing from facing to non-facing and back again. If you have overridden master page items, you'll get a second, non-overridden copy on all the even-number pages when that half of the master page is re-applied. This applies to master text frames which override automatically when text flows into them as well as to objects you manually override. I think you'll find this particular technique also only works for master text frames, whereas the Layout Adjustment should work in all situations where frames snap to guides.

  • Remove left and right margin when display portlets

    What is the best way to remove the left and right margin when display portlets?
    I found a file called \portalpages\dotnet\prod\src\com\plumtree\portalpages\browsing\myportal\/
    MyPortalContentView.cs
    But I do not see a place for the left and right margins. What is the correct place to modify these margins? (How about the top and bottom margins too?)
    See the green highlight?

    That's it yeah, seems to curve upwards at the sides. Dunno whether leaving a heavy book on it might sway it back into position?!
    I had the display upgraded when I bought it so presumed it could have been done whilst 'in operation'. Apart from that there's nothing wrong with it really, doubt it's something they would take it back on anyway.

  • Ms word tables borders and shading

    I'm using the "word tables borders and shading.vi" and trying to put a border around the first row including between columns and the "inside line style" active x function in the word_set_table_borders.vi is being ignored. The file is attached. Open the library and run the word table.vi. You will have to create test.doc on the root directory on the hard drive. Any suggestions?
    Attachments:
    wordtable.zip ‏1362 KB

    I ran your code and it worked fine. The top row of the table had a darker rectangle around it. I did have problems opening the file and it crashed my LV at first. I suspect there may be a corruption in the binary executable of the VI. Try pressing control-shift-run arrow on your top level VI to force LabVIEW to rebuild the binary executable of the VI.
