Bullet problem when creating text frames and tables in InDesign CS5

Every time I create a new text frame or table in InDesign CS5 and paste information there, the first row in the table or several lines of text come out with bullet points. I'm sure this is a setting or style at some point I created and now am unsure of how to delete. I would like the new text frames and tables to not include bullet points as a default when imported or pasted. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Defaults for text in the current document are made with no text selected. Turn off bullets and they should stay off (but check the styles, too, you might have accidentally set a bulleted style as the defualt and you should change the default style instead). If this is happening in all files, you need to do it with nothing open to reset the default for all new documents (existing files, unfortunately, need to be fixed one at a time).

    The shadow effect has to have something to be applied on, but by default text frames borders and fills are invisible.
    If you set the border of your frame to a color & thickness, you'll see it gets a shadow of its own, independent of the text. (Try it with dotted and dashed lines!)
    Additionally, if you set the fill of your text frame to a solid color, you'll see the single solid shadow you were expecting.

  • Removing overset text in empty table rows (InDesign CS5.5)

    I have some overset text in a table that appears to be empty rows.  I've opened story editor so I can remove the text, but I can't select the area that's overset (the red lines).  How does one remove this overset stuff if you can't select it.

    Have you tried adjusting the height of the row to reveal the over set text?
    Or try placing your cursor in the cell in question and just hit the delete key...Sometimes invisible characters like column break can be accidently added.
    Or perhaps, highlighting the entire row and hit the backspace key.

  • Problem when creating a transparent ddic table in a report

    Hi!
    I have a problem creating a transparent table dynamical in a report. I tried both function modules that I could find (DDIF_TABL_PUT and RPY_TABLE_INSERT) but I wasn't able to get a table created.
    Now I'm trying it with RPY_TABLE_INSERT (seems easier) but I'm getting an error (i think IX008) after running the report that the name is not proper for a view... I don't even want to create an view... I want to create a transparent table.

    When I use the DB_CREATE_TABLE fm I only can create fields with datatype declaration (ddfield-datatype), but I need a fm where I can also create a field with a data element, because I'm generating the fields dynamically in the report based on the datatype/data element for a field.
    edit: I'll use the datatype/length/decimal of the corresponding data element. this should work...

  • Problem when creating Database (Database, OS and hardware Configuraiton included)

    Problem when creating Database:
    Below are the problems, which I faced during creation of database. I have mentioned both the problem separately. Plus the log file maintained by Oracle during installation. It might help in diagnosing the error. Plus a little conclusion with I turned up to.
    There are two problems, when creating database with Oracle Database Assistant. One when creating pre tuned database from CD. And second when creating customized database giving options your self.
    Problem # 1:
    When creating pre tuned database from CD. The process of creating Database is 90 % complete and is at step # 3 Initializing Database. It gives error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
    I searched following oracle help for this problem.
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the Net8, two-task software. This message could occur if the shadow two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine went down.
    Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8 software is correctly installed on the server. If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the assistance of customer support.
    Conclusion:
    What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.
    Problem # 2:
    When creating database with custom option. The process of creating Database is 2 % complete and is at step # 2 Creating Database Files. It gives error ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure.
    I searched following oracle help for this problem.
    ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
    Cause: An error occurred during a data send.
    Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.
    Conclusion:
    What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.

    Dont't worry about that. Before you
    create a table(or view), it is wise to
    drop the table(or view) with the same name.
    If the name doesn't exist, of course there
    is an error message. See the following script:
    -------------------begin-----------
    drop table students cascade constraints;
    create table students (
    sid varchar2(5),
    fname varchar2(20),
    lname varchar2(20) not null,

    primary key (sid));

  • Strange behaviour when placing text frame on top of image

    Hi,
    Win XP, FM 8.04
    I have a front cover that consists of a TIF image that bleeds off the page. On top of that image I want to put a text frame with the book title.
    The strange thing is that when I create the text frame and use the toolbar buttons to nudge it down on the page, the text (but not the frame) suddenly jumps to a totally different place way down on the page, despite only nudging it, say, 10 mm.
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    /Mats

    Hi,
    Partly solved:
    After some tests, it seems FM does not like when you try to move a text frame over a transparent area in an image. The image in question was made by importing a PDF into Photoshop, then saving as TIF. Since the PDF contained an area that was had full transparency in InDesign (i.e. "Paper"), that area was also in the TIF image.
    The strange behaviour starts exactly at the border where the transparency starts. In non-transparent areas, there is no problem.
    Seems like a bug.

  • Uneven color between background text frame and underlying frame fill

    Hi. I'm using InDesign CS3 on Windows XP.
    On my document, the main heading is in a frame with a fill of 'None'. The heading text has a bevel and emboss. The text frame sits on a background A4 frame which is filled with a Pantone spot colour.
    When I print the cover page, the color filling the text frame is slightly different from the background Pantone color, even though the text frame has no color fill.
    When I checked the document before printing in View>Overprint Preview, it appeared to be fine. The PDF also looked fine. In both situations, I could not discern a color difference but it is there in the printed document.
    To provide a color behind the text which matches the fill color of the frame occupying the whole page, what should I do? My gut feel is to select the background frame and the text frame and check the knockout box on the effects panel or something like that.
    I hope I have explained sufficiently clearly the problem I am experiencing.
    Look forward to hearing your suggestions.
    Thanks
    Frank

  • Problem in creating text file from report file

    Hello Everybody...
    I have problem in creating text file.
    I had set System Parameter as below
    DESTYPE : File
    MODE : Character
    DESNAME : gayu.txt
    And ruler setting
    Units : Character Cells
    Character Cell Size : Horiziontal = 7
    Vertiacle =12
    GridSpacing : 1
    no of snap points per grid spacing : 1
    but when i run report it will give error
    "REP_1219 M_2 or R_2 has no size -- length or width zero"
    so is there any solution of that
    or another way to convert report into text file?....

    Hi Folks,
    Please don't go after that Error as its a very deceptive one. Please don't go for altering your design Or changing the size of items in your layout.
    Similar errors I have come across in reports. I think its due to file transfer type. You might have transferred the file in Binary and your File Mode I am seeing it as CHAR.
    This normally happens while making the Report Format as "Text". Either you change that format which I think is possible in your case as your basic requirement is making a report output of CHAR type.
    Please check for this error in Metalink and proceed accordingly. I could fix similar errors when I changed Format type to PDF(from text).
    Regards

  • Beginners question about creating first database and tables

    Hi all,
    i recently have installed 10g express edition, because i want to transform my php-script from mysql to oracle database. (due to the fact that mysql is "not allowed sofware" at the company i work for).
    it is a quit small script, just a shift-report system, build because of frustration about an used shift report system based on excel sheets. Company likes it, but IT-department rejected it, because it is myssql. They do own a lot of oracle servers, so they set up a database for me, got a username and password.(Tnsnames entry). The rest i have to do by myself, no further support from IT department.
    I have made 2 simple php functions to connect to database:
    // for connection home server:
    function conn()
         $user = 'user';
         $password = 'password';
         $conn = oci_connect($user, $password, 'localhost/XE');
         return $conn;
    // for connection at work:
    function Xconn()
         $db = '(DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx.eu.xxx.com)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = NVGPP)))';
         $user = 'xxxxxxxx';
         $password = 'xxxxxxx';
         $conn = oci_connect($user, $password, $db);
         return $conn;
    }I just add or remove X character before function name, for use at home or at work.
    both do work fine.
    First thing i wanted to do, is to create my database and tables.

    How do i create this database and tables?
    after googling i read something about schema owners, but cant find anything about how to copy my mysql database/tables to oracle.
    Please, help is really appreciated by me.

    Translating from mysql to Oracle will need a bit of fixups for the DDL, once an oracle instance is created, set up and running, you won't create a database but you will have a database user or users that create/own a collection of tables, indexes, functions, procedures, etc.
    It will take a bit of pouring through the oracle documentation to get those table create statements to work, i.e. the engine=, charset=, auto_increment items won't succeed, datatypes need adjustments, the tic marks around the entity names aren't necessary, quite a few other items from the mysql data definition language don't have an oracle equivalent.

  • Problem when creating a sales order with reference by BAPI

    I am facing one problem when creating Sales Order.
    <b>The scenario is like this while creating SO With reference to an Order type, a new SO will be automatically created with a diff order Type</b>.
    I am using "BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2".
    I am calling this BAPI in USEREXIT_REFRESH_DOCUMENT.
    Am I using the right exit to call this Bapi ?
    <b>Problems are like :
    1. Ref Sales Order creating without Sales Unit .
    2. "Object Status does not exist" error msg is coming for Header and Item level(when clicking the status tab and then object status pushbutton).</b> But if testing the bapi from SE37 in test sequence....no such problem persists.
    As for example in case of sales unit,in the debugging mode i have seen that BAPI uses a perform to fill the values in the VBAP structure.But after that when it come back to the main program VBAP remains blank.This ocuurs when the BAPI is called from the exit whereas  if tested from SE37, VBAP retains the value.
    Can u suggest in this ? This is very very urgent............
    Thx in Adv.........................

    Thanks........
    Your suggestion was a great help to me.I have used a custom FM and called it in <b>starting new task</b>.
    Since i am a university fresher working in SAP for nearly 1 year.....can you please explain me the difference between <b>in update task</b> and <b>starting new task</b>.Why the problem was occuring for which you have suggested to call a custom function module.
    what is V1 update and V2 update?Is it attached with asynchronous ans synchronous update.It would be a great help to me if you kindly clear my confusions....
    thanks in advance.

  • Multiple selected text frame to table

    I am looking for a script that will allow me to select multiple text frames at one time and have the contents in those text frames converted to tables.
    What I have to do now is place the cursor in one text frame, select all, select menu item "convert to table", the defalt dialog appears and I click ok.
    I have ten text frames on a page (for example). The manual process means I have to do the text to table 10 times per page.
    So, I would like a script that will allow me to select all 10 text frames and convert the content of each frame to a table.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
