Character Styles Not Working

Hello all,
Never have I been as exasperated with a piece of software as
I am with RH 7. I've sworn by Adobe products before but this has
been a tremendous letdown. Grumbling out of the way, I need to ask
for some help.
I've been able to define and apply paragraph styles
successfully for FM books that I'm importing into RH. I did that
according to the direction given by the online presentation
provided by Adobe (that is, I've defined everything in the
fmstyles.css with a dummy file, etc.).
The problem is that my character style of bold, defined and
properly mapped, is not being rendered in the output. What is
behind this? Could someone provide some insight?
I dumped variables, because I found they were being converted
into bullets. I don't see conditional text working and the
auto-numbering is a joke...I don't believe there's a single person
out there that's able to get it to work without manipulating the FM
files or working the HTML files in RH.
I don't want to solve all these problems. I've spent too much
time as it is trying to get some kind of usable output.
I just want to know why I can't rely on the character style
I've defined.
(This was an awful rant. Forgive me.)
Cheryl

Just to add one thing here, which I find even more
perplexing. I am using the dummy file and have applied the
fmstyles.css to it. I understand see that Paragraph Styles are
applied correctly in the rest of the topic (the rest of the FM book
files).
If my Paragraph Styles are working, then I have to assume I
am correctly defining in fmstyles.css and correctly mapping from FM
to RH. Strangely, when I copy and paste text from one of those FM
book files into the dummy file, my Character Styles appear
correctly.
What am I missing?? Why does my Character Style work in the
dummy file but not in the rest of the book/topic?
Any help would be appreciated...

New character style not showing up in TOC style

I created a new character style called Subchapter....
Then I went to layout>toc styles.. and hit [new]. Under "Style" my new character style "Subchapter" is not there. Also, under the "Styles in Table of Contents....include paragraph styles.." my new character style "Subchapter" is not in the other styles list.
What am I missing?
Thanks.
Also, forgot to mention, I am in book mode at this point. Maybe I need to add that new character style to each .IDD chapter of the book?

NEvermind, it was because I was making a character style, not a paragraph style. Now it shows up.
Thanks anyways.

Text Link Styles not working in Footer Section

I have a master page with a footer that has three columns of navigation text links inside.
In order to match my design I have created a customer text link style for these links.
However when I preview my site (in muse and browsers) the roll over effect (should show an underline) doesn't work.
I've searched the forums and found that someone else had a similar problem and it was down to them having a paragraph and character style stacked on top of one another. However I have checked this on my links and this is not the case.
NOTE: I have already successfully managed to create a similar style that resides in a side bar navigation panel in some of the sites internal pages and these link styles are working fine.
So, I'm not sure if the file has become corrupt or if I'm missing something that I've done wrong?
One question I have is at which point to you apply the text link style?
1. By clicking on the line of text to select it?
OR
2. By clicking further into the text box; as if you were editing it, then selecting all of the characters in the word you want to make a link. With the word selected, click on the style name in the Character Panel to apply it?
OR
3. as with the above example, once you have selected all of the characters in the word you want to make a link. Click on the Hyperlink drop down arrow (from the main toolbar) and choose the style name you wish to apply, from the drop down box 'Text Link Style'
NOTE:
I'm running version v2.3, Build 50, CL 771675
AIR Runtime: 3.5.0.600
UPDATE:
I couldn't wait any longer, so I just deleted the text boxes and styles and re-created them both and they seem to work now. Lot of additional work though that I'd rather have not had to do.

Sorry, I forgot to say, to see how the email link at the
bottom of the page should look please see www.bethhockley.com
Thanks,

Lightroom 3 Print Moduel Layout Style not working??

Hi all,
With no change in Lightroom, all of a sudden I have issues with the "picture package" and "custom package" settings within the layout styles in the print module.
For instance, if you are in "single image/contact sheet" and you have an image selected and on screen, then when you change to either "picture package" or "custom package" what should happen is that the image is then refected in the new picture package present. This does not happen at all.
I can not even choose a present (which should work), or drag an image onto the page. It seems that "picture package" and "custom package" are simply not working at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
computer 1 is an imac using 10.6.8, and computer 2 is a slightly older imac using 10.5.8
PS. it is now happening on both our computers which are on a network??

Good point. I don't have the latest. I'll give it a try and post back to the site.
Thanks

Paragraph styles not working in pages 5.0

I upgraded pages to the newer version 5.0 and the documents that I had on my old version lost all the paragraph styles I had created. I also tried to create new paragraph styles with numeral lists and bullets and this is not working *(not applying format). The old version worked very good doing that. Do any one have had this issue? Can it be a bug? I will appreciate your input. Thanks

Apple removed over 110 features from Pages 5.2.2 and added countless bugs:

Paragraph styles can no longer include list numbering.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder, use that.

TOC link with a subscript character does not work in PDF

Hi,
has anyone come across with this? A heading has a subscript character and when you generate a PDF, the TOC page has no link. Other TOC heading links work out just fine, but all these that have subscript, these do not.
I have used Save As PDF and selected even create named destinations for all Paragraphs. Usually the TOC works fine even if that is not selected. A link with subscript does not work in either case.
I appreciate any help with this, thanks

> The link is always terminated before any change in the character format. That's not a bug.
In user-authored manually-created hypertext links, sure. And in that case, we know that we have to re-apply the Marker to the various fragments of the desired text. I would not expect this behavior for a generated file where we have limited control over the auto-tagging.
> Therefore if you have subscript or superscript applied, the link starts at the beginning of the paragraph and ends before the character format change (sub-/superscript).
It's not just format changes in body <$paratext> that break this. If you so much as apply a different format to the elements on the TOC Reference Page TOC (such as making the page number a different font), that breaks the HT of the page number in the PDF.
> As far as I know Rick Quatro offers a FrameScript script for this problem.
Well, Adobe might consider this to be an Enhancement Request item, but I consider it to be a defect.
Is there anyone who would object if the TOC entries had functional full-string HT links by default? If so, Adobe could fix the problem, and have an Update tickbox to revert to legacy broken behavior.
In any case, the Unicode solution is not really a "work-around", even though I put it that way. For anything where Unicode has a glyph that you would otherwise implement as FrameRoman with a Character Format, use Unicode.

CS4 extended Layer styles not working

Running CS4 extended on Vista64, Corei7 quad @2.9 GHz, 8 Gig Ram and nVidia quadro FX 1700. I can not get layer styles to work in documents that originated in CS3 extended. If I start a new document they work.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Well, I ended up copying all of the layers from the old PSD to a CS4 psd and it worked. Since it is a web page it had a lot of layers and it was a major pain in the hooey... but it did work.

Spry textarea character count not working in IE9

Hi.
I'm using DW CS5 for a ColdFusion form with a textarea field. The spry character count works in every browser but IE9. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

This feature will not work in IE9 and IE10.
The problem is two-fold
a) The Copyright notice shows 2006 as the last Spry update. This was around the time of IE7
b) Microsoft tends to go off on a tangent where every release of IE behaves differently
As always, we are in the hands of the Adobes and Microsofts.

Update Styles not working, select all uses of style missing

Two more things tha I use often are missing from 5.0.
1. If you want to select all uses of a heading and then change attributes, it seems that you cannot.
2 When a style appears with a asterisk it means there is an override and you have the option to click on Update Style. Doesn't work.
Okay, so three useful things absent in 5.0 and they bugged me in the first 10 minutes (counting the missing Outline View). Otherwise it looks like a fabulous and simplified update.
One of th best additions is that Comments now track between the Desktop and iPad. Yayee! I don't have to use foot notes any more.

I would like to see "select all uses of style" make a comeback. That was an easy way to delete things quickly.
For #1, you can change attributes for one instance of the heading and then update the style. This will apply the changes to all instances of the heading. Which leads to...
#2. I was able to update my styles by going here:
Is that not working for you?

Special character key not working

None of the special character key is working properly. More over character which are to be used by SHIFT key are also not working correctly.

I am using OS X 10.9.3 and Pages v5.2 and a double-click with the Magic Mouse, or a double-tap with the Magic Trackpad will definitely insert the special character of choice at the previous cursor location in Pages v5.2, or within TextEdit. You must first establish application document focus (click in it) before the double-click/tap action.
I can double-click/tap special characters and have them insert into form text and text area fields on a web page in Safari.

XFCE Styles not working.

I have the latest updates for my installation and XFCE4 and XFWM4. I can change the window theme, but when I go to settings > appearance > styles and click on any of the styles they do not work. Neither does changing the font on the font tab.
I have uninstalled xfce, and everything to do with it, manually deleted all the config files, and reinstalled it, and I still get the same result. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks now.
I've done hours of searching and have tried so much, and nothing has worked.

Button.armed css style not work

Hi,I have a css like followd:
.button {
    -fx-padding: 3 25 2 25;
    -fx-text-fill: black;
    -fx-background-radius: 4;
    -fx-background-insets: 0,0,0,0;
    -fx-background-color: linear (0%,0%) to (0%,100%) stops (0.0,white) (0.5,rgb(207,207,207)) (0.51,rgb(190,190,190)) (1.0,rgb(200,200,200));
    -fx-border-width: 1;
.button:hover{
    -fx-background-color: linear (0%,0%) to (0%,100%) stops (0.0,white) (0.5,rgb(207,207,207)) (0.51,rgb(190,190,190)) (1.0,rgb(200,200,200));
.button:armed {
    -fx-background-color: red;
.button:focused {
    -fx-background-color: green;
    -fx-background-radius: 6.4;
    -fx-background-insets: -1.4, 0, 1, 2;
.button:strong {
    -fx-background-color: linear (0%,0%) to (0%,100%) stops (0.0,white) (0.5,rgb(207,207,207)) (0.51,rgb(190,190,190)) (1.0,rgb(200,200,200));
.button:disabled {
    -fx-opacity: .4;
}but seems .button:armed not work,why?

If I take only the button:armed property, it works well (but defining -fx-color instead of -fx-background-color looks nicer).
If I take all your definitions, it no longer work.
If I take out the .button:focused out of the CSS, it works again. Looks like there is a conflict between armed and focused (because an armed button is also focused?). Not sure how to manage this conflict... I see that caspian defines focused as a background color, and armed as a simple color.

Keyboard character does not work - cant enter password to log in

I have a new Blackberry curve. Unfortunately the e key is not working (possibly after condensation forming on the device).
Luckily my password does not contain e
Unluckily I entered the password incorrectly. And now I have to "enter BlackbErry to continue"
Unfortunately I cant type the E.
Any way of figuring a way to get round this, either by getting the E to work, or by circumventing the "BlackbErry to continue " check? Thanks

hello bbnnl,
first of all, what is the model you have? I see in your profile is displayed "curve 8290", which does not exists.
Please edit your profile here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/user/myprofilepage/tab/personal-profile%3Apersonal-info
Otherwise it is harder for us to help you.
secondly, if you suspect water condensation on your device, I advise you to immediately remove the battery and dry your device for at least 48H in a bag of dry rice.
I realize my message arrives too late.
How are things doing for your device now?

Character restrict not working

Hi, I'm trying to restrict the characters in my input text
field to digits only (0-9) -- it's an age restriction. But for some
reason it's not working. Here is my code:
var age = "";
ageRestrict = function () {
age.restrict = "0-9";
ageRestrict();
Also, if I don't use var age = ""; it will say undefined when
I publisht he movie. Why is that?
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks
A
Text

If you read the Flash help about the restrict property, it's
a property
of a TextField -- i.e. not of a variable and not of the
textfield's
"variable" property.
What is the instance name of your input textfield? The
restriction
should be as simple as:
myInputTFInstanceName.restrict = "0-9"
