Carriage return in a WD table cell

Hi,
I have data in a table cell which I would like to present better by adding a carriage returns so that it appears on more than one line for example as bullet points.
I can format it using HTML but cant seem to be able to find out how to set encode to true for that cell.
Has anyone come across this problem before, or even have a simpler solution.
Cheers
Phil

How to make a Carriage Return in a Word-Table by OLE Automation

I generated a Table in a Word-Document by using the OLE2 Interface.
After that I wrote a Text in the first cell of the table.
Now I want to make a Carriage Return to write another Textline in the same Cell.
But first i must move the cursor to the end of the Text.
I haven't already figured that out.
Can someone Help me?
I tried this but then the Cursor moves to the Begin of the second Cell in the same row.
*Writing the Text in the Cell
GET PROPERTY OF o_cell 'Range' = o_range.
SET PROPERTY OF o_range 'Text' = wa_anschr-ename.
*Move Cursor
GET PROPERTY OF o_cell 'Range' = o_range.
GET PROPERTY OF o_range 'End' = ld_pos.
SET PROPERTY OF o_range 'Start' = ld_pos.
CALL METHOD OF o_range ' Select'.

I don't know about your suggestion.
I solved the Problem with that Method:
CALL METHOD OF o_selection 'EndKey'
EXPORTING
#1 = '5'.
CALL METHOD OF o_selection 'TypeParagraph'.
The Parameter "5" ist the VB Constant wdline...
Now it works and I'm happy

Importing XML Text files with Indesign friendly 'Carriage Returns'

Hi,
I have a question wrt importing XML into Indesign. I have my text stored in Excel (Fig A) and intend to export as an XML file where each line will represent each page. However, my first attempt failed to treat the 'carriage returns' as I'd envisaged:
The 'carriage returns' used within an Excel cell (ALT-ENTER) are maintained when transforming to a CSV file (Fig B). However, when converting to an XML file, the conversion only takes place on a line by line basis and hence the XML file becomes incomplete (Fig C).
So, it appears I need to make sure that the CSV file contains one line per entry, while also maintaining the actual carriage returns in my source spreadsheet and for Indesign to recognise them. In order to do this, I'll need to substitute the 'carriage returns' in my excel column to be represented by a new set of characters. My question is how can I let Indesign know to recognise this set of characters to be converted to a carriage return, when importing text.
For example, if this set of characters was '%%%%%%', then my new csv file would look like Figure D and the XML would be produced correctly, like Figure E. Then importing this XML file to InDesign, the carriage returns would automatically be reinstated, hopefully.
I hope someone can help me as I am only starting out in Indesign and feel Im running before I can walk by venturing into the XML/Indesign arena too soon.
Best Regards
Luke

Hi,
Thanks for all the responses.
With regard to XML, it could well be an issue has crept in because I am using another utility to convert my csv's to xml and maybe there are better options out there. I will take a look for other utilities and try that (Its not possible from Excel easily, even though there is an option to save as an XML file).
Secondly, because the XML was readable by internet explorer, I assumed it had a satisfactory standard XML format which would be accepted by any program, including InDesign. This proved true, since the XML file i generated was actually recognised by my Indesign document and populated the tags correctly, albeit without any carriage returns.
When I save my excel sheet as a csv, it does actually hold the carriage returns causing multiple lines per entry, hence why I need to substitute the actual carriage returns in my excel sheet to a alternative character set so that the entry remains on one line.
Re: Double quotes on text fields. Im sorry, I didnt realise I had commas in my sample csv example.
I should have corrected it, but I intend on using semi-colons as my csv delimiter and don't intend on having semi-colons in my excel sheet itself, so I possibly won't need any double-quotes.
So, it looks like this is what I need to do ;
i) Add a column in Excel which substitutes all the carriage returns with a line break identifier (^n).
ii) Convert Excel file to a semi-colon csv holding this new column,
iii) Convert csv file to XML using a good CSV->XML utility,
iv) Add the respective XML tags to my INDD document,
v) Add a GREP rule which does a find/replace on all instances of ^n and replace with a line break,
vi) Import the XML file,
vii) Apply the find/replace GREP rule on the whole document. Carriage returns on my text fields should be consistent with my original excel sheet.
Thanks for all your help fellas. Will report on how I get on once Im done.
Best Regards

Dynamic task description in sap inbox displaying carriage returns as an * ?

Hi All,
I have a method in my business object whereby I dynamically create the description of the task for the sap inbox, ie. the description the user sees for the task in their sap inbox .
At first I built this description into an internal table of type tline.   I would have thought that each row of the table would begin on a new line but this did not happen. The rows ran into each other but were seperated by a semi colon.
Then I included a carriage return (cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf) at the end of each row. This had the same output but instead of the semi colon, it output an asteriks.
Then I concatenated all the output into a string and passed this to a FM which splits the string at the carriage return and outputs the table. While this behaved as I wanted in a test program (i.e. new line for each row) , once I put the code in the business object, all the rows ran into each other again..
So is anyone aware of a way in which you can dynamcially build the task description and maintain the formatting you require?
I'd be very grateful if anyone could shed any light as I've been trying to get this going for a day and a half now and I'm about ready to give up!!
Many thanks,
Liz.

I had same requirement of displaying mutiple lines of workitem description. I used the following method for achieving my functionality.
Suppose multilineline text to displayed in the workitem description is:-
Line 1-> This is the the test text method to display description in the user defined format
Line 2-> which i want to show on my workitem to person approving the workitem.
Line 3-> Hello ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,how are u .............................................test test hello test.
1> I stored the data in an internal table which has one field of type c length 200.
2> I appened the data line by line into the table so that data is not overlapped and my format is maintained.
i.e Data : t_text   type table of ty_text,
               w_text type ty_text.
w_text-line = Line1.
appen w_text to t_text.
clear w_text.
w_text-line = Line2.
appen w_text to t_text.
clear w_text.
w_text-line = Line3.
appen w_text to t_text.
clear w_text.
3> The internal table T_TEXT will have three lines of data.
4> Now pass this table as it is on the workitem Description.It will display text as per ur format on the workitem description dynamically

Numbers ought to keep check box that allows carriage return within a cell universally within a table

Apple really fell asleep at the switch when releasing its latest version of Numbers 2013 (3.2), because it ignored the universal learning styles of human beings who have used the software in earlier releases and seemed to change features with little consideration for the community as a whole.
For example, why would you delete the feature that allows a user to turn-on or turn-off the "carriage return within a cell". It seems smart of them to add the abilityt to simply press the Option key and hit return at the same time to allow a carriage return within a cell, but why would you DELETE the feature that allows returns within a cell universally within a table?
And then the Inspector got completely revised.
Time saved in creating technologies gets eaten up in having to relearn technology every time a new release is created that doesn't build on the previous release very well.

Adamo,
You are complaining to fellow users. It is best to post your feedback to Apple using the menu item

Problem with "carriage Return" or "Line Feed" in a table

Hello,
I need help with the function Zeichen(), so called it in german, I'm not sure if it is char() in english.
In Pages Version 4.0.1 (746) I've created a table in Pages with this function to make an "carriage Return" in a cell.
Here an example: { ="Hello" & Zeichen(10) & "World" }, in the cell is now:
| Hello |
| World |
But in Pages Version 4.0.3 (766) this function ZEICHEN() not allow the number 10 and other till 32 (I allready read the manual and understand this problem).
Anybody an idea to make a "Carriage Return" or "Line feed" in a formular, in a cell, in a table, in Pages?
Thanks

Your workaround will not be possible in my table, because there is no empty cell in the table, but I think it is also a good help too.
*In fact I forgot that you are using a table in Pages.*
Remaining on my first idea, In Numbers we may achieve the same goal using an auxiliary table with a single cell containing the needed line break.
If this table is named "LineBreak",
the formula will be:
="Hello"&LineBreak :: $A$1&"World"
*In Pages, here is my workaround:*
Enter the cell
type a§b
don't type the character § but ctrl + return.
The cell will contain
a
b
with the arrow, move before the a
type =B2&"
delete the original a
move to the right
delete the original b

In the previous version, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

Hi silvano,
If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
Start in Cell B2
1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
Now you are ready to type into B5 .
Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
Start at B2
1 enter
4 enter
7 enter
etc.
Now start with C2.
Use whatever suits your work flow.

Ian.

Using a Macro to add a Carriage Return after each data entry within all cells of an imported range of cells

I have a macro that copies data from a Target workbook then pastes the data into a destination workbook. I then wish to use lookups in the destination workbook to view specific data from the pasted range of data on a separate sheet.
The problem is, the cells that contain numbers from the pasted data have the green dogeared error flags associated with the cell. The only way I can make a lookup function work, is to go to each cell and manually enter a carriage return after each entry.
The code for the macro is given below. What can be done so that the pasted data contains no errors associated with the number cells? Or can a second macro be written to clean the data. If so can you help me out? Thanks in advance.
Kindest Regards

Hi DAPAugust64,
The green "dogeared error flags" of the cells means that you paste numbers in these cells, but they're formated as Text.
So you need to change the cells back to the correct format so that the lookup function works fine. You can simply call this method after pasting:
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).NumberFormat = "General"
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1) = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).Text
Or use PasteSpecial method to paste the numbers as well as it's format:

Remove carriage returns from a field in an oracle table

I have a field that is defined as a LONG in my oracle table; the data contained in this field has carriage returns/line feeds (it's free form text); as i'm selecting data from this field, i need the carriage returns removed so that the data from this field all appears on one line.
I tried using the TRANSLATE function to convert the carriage returns to something else, but that doesn't work.
Example:
Select comment from Notes:
COMMENT

called applicant to confirm app
this needs to be extracted as: "the applicant called for an appointment; an exam was scheduled for 4/1/05 at 9am; called applicant to confirm app"
How can i do this? Can the decode function be used to remove the carriage returns in this field?

when i used translate its giving correctly,

SQL Loader - Loading Text File into Oracle Table that has carriage returns

Hi All,
I have a text file that I need to load into a table in Oracle using SQL Loader. I'm used to loading csv or comma delimited files into Oracle so I'm not sure what the syntax is when it comes to loading a text file that essentially has one value per row and each row is separated by a carriage return. So when you open the text file, the records look like this:
999999999 <CRLF>
888888889 <CRLF>
456777777 <CRLF>
456555535 <CRLF>
345688888 <CRLF>
So each row is separated by a hard return and I need to tell sql loader that the hard return or next row is the next value to insert into the table. Below is an example of a control file I tend to use as a template for loading csv files but I need to modify it to accomodate this new structure.
OPTIONS (DIRECT=TRUE,ROWS=100000)
UNRECOVERABLE
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\input.txt'
BADFILE 'C:\input.bad'
APPEND
INTO TABLE TEST_TABLE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
TRAILING NULLCOLS
COLUMN_1
How to I modify the control file above to use hard returns as the field/row delimiter for my text file?
Thanks

Split String value into internal table at Carriage return

Hi All,
I have given a string type context ( text edit box ) to the user to enter the values. The data can have carriage returns also.
My Requirement is that I want to split the data at carriage returns and store it in my tables.
I tired with a constant value of '%CR_LF' as available in CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES but to no good result.
Can the Experts suggest some solution?/??
Thankx in advance.
Regds,
Srini

Hi Srini,
Have you looked at your string containing the text in the debugger to verify that you really have <CR>+<LF> (i.e. reflecting CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF, which should be easily visible when looking at the hex codes of the string)? Maybe it's just a <LF> (i.e. CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE). Might be good to do a REPLACE first using a regular expression for identifying the line feeds and then doing the SPLIT.
Cheers, harald
p.s.: If you still cannot get it to work, provide some more details of what you're doing...

How to control the force return in table cell data?

I have some xml format files.When I import them into FrameMaker,They display as table data.but when the data is very long in table cell,I want to control the new line by myself.for example,I add some \r\n in my xml file data,then in FrameMaker,It can identify the \r\n, force return.In framemaker I don't know the actual symbol that means the newline.How Can I deal with the problem?thank you!

Hi Russ,
yes, but you have to agree that forcing a return in the SOURCE content is really not a wise thing to do - It would be better to break the content into multiple paragraphs or used an XSLT to determine the column width and insert your own breaks in a version of the XML for rendering in Frame. If, at a later date, your templates in Frame change to allow wider columns in your table, then you'd have to go back into the source code and change every occurrence of the c/r in the data - Yeuch! Better to transform the data once, before importing into Frame and then if the col-width changes it is a simple task to change the width in the XSLT - personally, I would make sure the EDD and DTD allows multi-lines in the table cell and then break-up the data to fit the table cell size in an XSLT before importing. Then you don't taint your source code...and it is quite easy to do this is an XSLT...

How to turn off 'Return Key jumps to next cell' in Tables?

I can't find where you turn off this feature. I want to type two paragraphs in a cell with a space between them. I've wasted 2 hours trying to figure this out. Please help!

Hey, I just wanted to let you know I've been having the same issue with the new 3.0 update for Numbers and just found a keyboard shortcut that has helped me a great deal. I guess I'll be using this until they add an option to turn that "Return Key Moves to Next Cell" off, like the older versions had...
Anyway, if you place the cursor where you'd like a line break and press Ctrl+O (mind you I do mean Ctrl and NOT Command here), it will insert a line break at that place. Hope this helps!
