Calculation with text zones

Hi,
I have three text zones :
p5_x1, p5_x2 and p5_x3. How can I do to have the text of p5_x3 equal to the sum of p5_x1 and p5_x2 ?
Many thanks before.

I would suggest using the round function on the calculation part. When the text is not there, the standard formatting that is applied ot the cell range is applied to the result of the calculation. But when you put text in, your forcing the program to cast the answer as a text string, which apparently converts that cell to being seen as a text formatted cell.
so if you had dataa in A1 and B1 and C1 had your formula then you would make this:
=A1*B1 & "Gal."
into this:
=Round(A1*B1,1) & "gal."
Hope this helps,
Jason

Problem with text resizing and moving

After much pain with this issue, I'm going to ask for help.
The whole issue(s) resolves around text upsizing, changing and moving in Muse.
No amount of grouping, layering and locking has stopped this issue for me.
I don't have divs that are a pixel off and whatnot. This happens even when I have a blank site and I test it (as seen in the example pic below).
The majority of the time, this is an issue when viewing Muse created sites on Android, although text does move when viewed on iOS.
Example 1:
I have a square div. I put text in the div that I want to stay contained in the div. Basic right?
View site on browsers and iOS devices it generally plays by the rules (although not always, there are some movement going on). When viewing this example text and div on an android device, the text resizes larger. This results in the text overlapping the div and moving EVERYTHING below it down. This makes it impossible to tightly design anything for a website.
I know Android has options within it for users to set text viewing size, but this worthless from a web designer standpoint. That is something I can't control.
Example 2:
I have 1 text field and set the typeface to 15. There is nothing else on the page, just a background image (under "Fill"). Viewed on browsers and iOS looks fine. When viewed on Android this text balloons to some enormous size (25+) that makes the website utterly useless. This random resizing makes it impossible to design to.
Example 2.5:
I take that same text from example 2, copy it into 2 of the same size text fields. They are placed next to each other, taking up the same width as Example 2. It now looks like 2 columns of text. Set the typeface to 15 again. I view it on Android and get the resizing issues from example 1 not example 2. It's noting to the extent of example 2 but like example 1, it still changes enough to ruins any design I'm trying to accomplish.
Is there any place in Muse to lock the text? I don't want to make the text into an image (obviously).
I been dealing with this in Muse for 6 months and haven't been able to find anything online or in forums about. I understand with the bevy of platforms out there nothing will look the same across the board, but right now I don't see how I can continue working with this issue.
Am I the only one dealing with this?
Thank you for any assistance.

Welcome to the annoying realities of working with text on websites... Nothing you describe is unique to Muse.
Every browser has it's own text engine and thus each line breaks text differently. Even the exact same web page on the same computer with the same fonts will sometimes result in different line breaks in different browsers, or even in different versions of the same browser. It's just a side effect of the nature of determining a line break, where even the most miniscule difference in calculations can result in an entire word fitting, or not fitting.
There are two "tools" that are especially important to understand and use effectively in order to create designs that work as effectively as possible with the variation in line breaks from one site viewer to the next.
Text Frame Height Always Matters
If a text frame is drawn to the exact height of the text wthin the frame, then any increase in the number of lines of text due to changes in line breaks will result in the text frame growing and other objects below the text frame being moved down.
If a text frame is drawn larger than the height of the text then when line breaks change the text frame won't grow unless the changes in line breaks are severe enough to result in the flowed text being taller than the text frame was originally drawn.
If you resize a text frame smaller than the text within the frame in Muse Design view, the frame will snap back to be large enough to accommodate the text, but a dotted horizontal line will appear within the text frame indicating the "minimum height" for the text frame. If line breaks change in the browser the text frame will grow or shrink in height down to the minimum height indicated by this dotted line.
Careful sizing of text frames can go a long way to creating a design that will continue to work well even when line breaks, and thus text frame heights change.
Grouping Has Consequences
As part of the output process, Muse collections the objects you've drawn into a hierarchy of horizontal groupings, vertical groupings, or stacks. When line breaks change in different browsers and text frames change height, when the text frames are located in this output heirarchy determines what impact the change in height has on other objects (if any).
For example, if you have a layout that looks like a 2x2 grid of text frames, by default Muse will interpret it to act as two colums. So if the first text frame gets taller it will push the text frame below it down, but won't impact the location of the two text frames in the second column.
If that's not the behavior you want, the way to tell Muse to treat things differently would be to group the two items in the first "row". This would cause the top to to be treated as a horizontal group. If anything in the group grows taller than the group, the group resizes taller and pushes the objects below it down. Thus if the top to items are grouped, if either one of them grows taller than the group it would push both the text frames below downward.
The 2x2 grid is just a simple example of the concept. In most cases you don't have to do anything special to get the behavior you want, but it is important to understand grouping has this ramification. Grouping an arbitrary set of objects on your page can result in undesired behavior when text frames resize in the browser.
For the Andriod screenshot you've provided, I don't have an immediate explanation. For us to explain what's shown we need to know the exact browser, browser version, Android version and device the screenshot is for. It would also be immensely helpful to have the URL for the page, so we can attempt to reproduce what you're seeing and view the exact code involved.

Charactere size in a text zone

Hi, how to modify character size in a text zone ?
Many thanks.

Guess that is kind of my fault, I basically hijacked this post, but with the same problem.
The OP called it a text zone. That wasn't me.
The code works great in some objects, but not others.
I can make it work in a text area. But not in an HTML region or the footer/header of any type of region.
For example as per my last post, in your example page, you have a region with the title of CODE with the actual code you used to make the text area font change size etc. In that region titled CODE make the text larger (or smaller).

Generic calculations with changing number of channels

Hello,
I would like to make some basic calculations with a flexible number of channels. The point is that I get an error if I specify channels which are not existing in my calculations. For example :
CCh("[1]/CNV",2)-CCh("[2]/CNV",2)+CCh("[3]/CNV",2)-...
I think it should be possible to do it by using a script, but do you have any idea how to do it only with the calculator?
Thank you in advance

You can do easily by using Recoding mode for VBScript described in the following KB:

Calculator with two numbers

Dear Forum
Im working a calculator with a textfield. It can calculate a if a enter only one number, but when i try to enter two or three doesnt work. I have test several codes but they are not working at all. Could any someone give me a hand. Please se te attach file.
var numeroEntrado = "";
var campoUno:int = 125;
var campoDos:int = 20;
var elResultado1 = 0;
var elResultado2 = 0;

colesterol.text = "20 mml.";
colesterol.backgroundColor = 0x9999FF;

function sienteTecla(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
    if (event.keyCode == 48) { numeroEntrado = 0; }
    if (event.keyCode == 49) { numeroEntrado = 1; }
    if (event.keyCode == 50) { numeroEntrado = 2; }
    if (event.keyCode == 51) { numeroEntrado = 3; }

        elResultado1 = Number(campoUno) * Number(numeroEntrado);
        proteinas.text = elResultado1 + " grs";
        colesterol.text = "";
        elResultado2 = Number(campoDos) * Number(numeroEntrado);
        colesterol.text = elResultado2 + " mml" ;
        numeroPorciones.text = ""
thanks

It's difficult to say without understanding your intent.
I don't see where you event listener for sienteTecla is being assigned.
If numeroEntrado is supposed to be numeroPorciones value (a guess) then perhaps you could just do something like this:
function suma(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    if (numeroPorciones.text!="") {
        proteinas.text = "";
        elResultado1 = Number(campoUno) * Number(numeroPorciones.text);
        proteinas.text = elResultado1 + " grs";
        colesterol.text = "";
        elResultado2 = Number(campoDos) * Number(numeroPorciones.text);
        colesterol.text = elResultado2 + " mml" ;
        numeroPorciones.text = ""

Original (Coming - output): "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
it's in output but what is data in database ?
sorry but without knowing about source data for forming the xml i haven't ideas about your problem
in db it's "TM " or "™" or ... ?
Original (Coming - output): "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
Something like XAE or "K" after PAY Value in the xml tag and continued the text value. (Tag value is not getting copied exactly here - i am sorry for that )
that's ok. i need to see the problem not the data as is
Expected (output): "Here it needs to produce the "PAY TM" (Here "TM" should be super scripted to "PAY" Value in tag).
as super scripted in xml?
as idea - you can have <PAY_TXT>PAY TM</PAY_TXT> and in publisher set TM as super

I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

When converting word doc to pdf, my images with text only show the background color of the text box.

I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf. I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page. It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color. If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images. Any help?

How to Trim Rectangle with text to create reflection?

Hello Everyone,
I am realtively new to Illustrator and I am facing a problem that I am hoping some expert here can resolve. I have some text and I have converted it to outlines. Now I want to create shine on it. I want to fill a rectangle with white color and then clip it with text to give reflection effect but I can't figure out how to do it. I have selected my text and rectangle and tried all options in path finder tool but nothing seems to work. Please guide me how can this be done.
Regards,
Afraz Ali

Afraz Ali,
If you want to have the colour/colours/colour transition of the rectangle where the text is is nothing outside it, in other words colour the text with the colouring of the rectangle, you may:
Use Live Type over the rectangle, select both, and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.
With outlined type, you have to turn the lettershapes into a Compound Shape first.
As you can see, it is simpler to just use Live Type, and it is editable.

Apple wireless BT keyboard with TEXT MESSAGING?

I know that I can sync the Apple wireless bluetooth keyboard with the my iPhone 4, but I just want to verify that it will work with text messaging, in addition to the usual email, etc. apps. Frankly, that's the main reason I need it. I messed up my elbow from texting so much. I don't want to, but I MUST text a lot, so I figured I'd get the keyboard to save elbow injuries. Sounds silly -- lugging around a wireless keyboard in order to text... but it actually wouldn't be so bad. I do a lot of texting from my house, anyway.
One more thing -- The wireless keyboard can only be paired with one device at a time, right?

The Bluetooth keyboard will work with the messaging application.
I know I always turn the Bluetooth off on the iPhone so when I pull out my keyboard it is a bit of a pain in the ***. Granted I only use it with long emails on the road that would take an hour to write with the keyboard on the iPhone, so it's not too bad. The iPad dock keyboard will also work with the iPhone and iOS4.x so if you need a keyboard and don't want to deal with the Bluetooth than that is an option too, just a thought.
As far as the Bluetooth keyboard goes it can only be paired with one device at a time.

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
--inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
or
--independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
thank you!
L

well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
now too but not enough functionality...
