Columns - script format

HELP... i am trying to build a template that i can use to write TV scripts. I need it to have 3 columns... which I did with ease... Here is the problem...
when i type down to the bottom of the first column... I need the text that i am typing to go continue to the TOP of the FIRST column on the NEXT page. All it can do now is go to the top of the second column on the first page. There has got to be a way to do this!
Help.

No need to link tables. Set them as Inline (Fixed on page) and they will continue, except a single cell will not split over two pages. Make each paragraph a new cell and the text in your three columns will stay aligned with each other. Add an extra column in between your text columns and set them for something like a half inch to serve as gutters between the text.
Btw, please lose the caps. No need to shout.

  • Video/Audio 2-Column Scripting Format

    How can I create 2 independent vertical columns on a blank page, so that I can script video instructions inside the LEFT column and dialogue inside the RIGHT column? I'll need a little bit of buffer space in-between the columns. I'm trying to create a scripting template for TV and event production. Some of my scripts run as long as 62 pages, so the 2 columns will need to link independently of each other through page after page. Thank you very much.

    Carissa,
    I tried this in Pages 3.0.1, but I think it will work in Pages 2.
    To create the script layout you desire, try this. First, type your audio in a word processor. Then copy it. In a new WP document create a table set as Inline (Moves with text). In the Table Inspector set it for ONE row and THREE columns and Automatically resize to fit content. Drag column three’s left border to the left to make the 2nd column about a half inch wide. In the header type Video and Audio in the 1st and 3rd columns respectively. Now paste your script into the third column. Each paragraph will create a separate cell and the table will flow to as many pages as necessary.
    Now you can go back and type your video instructions into column one. Your video and audio cells will stay aligned should you need to edit. Column two will be a space between columns 1 and 3.
    When done, go to the Inspector and hide the grid.
    I think this should export to Word okay. I don't have Word so I can't test it.

  • Adobe Request: multi-column scripts

    Hi guys/gals,
    We're looking for examples of multi-column scripts as we develop Story.  If any of you here have real-world examples and want to share them, please send me a private message on how we can get them.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!
    Dennis

    I don't have any to hand, but I recall working on a medical program as a grip that used one.  The format was 4 columns, Program time, video, graphic, and audio.  It worked as both a shooting and editing script.
    I've been trying to get a producer I work with to buy some software so we can have such a script, instead of his preferred "winging it" style of working, which usually means I go scrounging for a shot in post because we don't have enough footage.

  • Converting Date Column to format MM/DD/YYYY in RPD

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement like converting a Date column to format MM/DD/YYYY in RPD. Any help as we are not supposed to use the BI Answers Data Fomat for showing this format.
    Thankyou,
    Edited by: [email protected] on May 10, 2010 11:49 PM

    Hi Saichand,
    I need the resulting column in DATE format only. The solution which you specified converts the datatype to character. Is there anyway to convert the format but not the datatype.

  • Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form

    Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form in Numbers for iPhone or is it impossible and thus a serious bug?(Rating stars and numeric vales seem to work.)
    Those bugs happen both for new speadsheets as well as existing onces, like the demo. When you are in the form only the numeric keyboard shows up.
    Pat from the Apple Store Rosenstrasse/Germany approved that it looks like a Bug during the Numbers Workshop I was in: It is not possible to add new columns with format "Text". I reported the error for Version 1.4 but there is no update nor do I get statement of understanding the issue.

    Hi Knochenhort,
    I see what you are talking about now. Without knowing how the program actually works, I think this is what's going on:
    When you add a new column to an already existing table (with already existing formats), the new cells come already formatted like the previous column. So when you add a column to the end of the demo table, the cells are already formatted like stars, and when you add a column to the beginning, they're already formatted like number.
    I think this is why it's different when if you add columns to a table with blank (unformatted) columns. In that case, the new cells aren't already "tainted" with a set format, so you can change to text format without issue.
    It seems like the problem is that you can't format cells that are already formatted as "number" as "text" format (even if it doesn't look like they are, because they are blank). IMO, this is a bug! This is why you don't see this issue when adding columns to a new table, because the new cells don't already come with a format.
    To workaround, you can highlight the body cells after adding the new column, and delete the cells. This will "clear" the formatting, so you can then go in the inspector, format them as text, and the correct keyboard will pop up.
    Hope that helps!

  • Script format question: Title over

    Question: In the script format when using a "TITLE OVER" is it a General, Shot or an Action format. Appreciate any input here, thanks.
    Rich

    It a good question, as it is worth thinking how the elements in our screenplays will be used down the line. So for example, although the formatting of making it a Shot certainly would put TITLE OVER in caps, and making it Action would allow the paragraph it is in to be lower and upper case, it better to think how the elements may be used as metadata when you move on from writing, rather than how they look on the page. The tags and elements will be used by others in many different ways as the script moves through the planning and shooting steps.
    Shot elements will be processed by an application like Adobe OnLocation which will create a placeholder shot for it for the shoot. That could be theoretically correct in this case as the title will need to be shot. However to answer your question I think General is the appropriate element, just as the Title and Author are General on the titlle page.
    Are there other elements of the screenplay that will need to be tagged in special ways so they are available as the right kind of metadata later in the production process?

  • Date column with format mask 'hh12:mi pm'

    let's say the user input record as shown below :
    trip At01 At02
    1 9:30 AM 12:30 PM
    At02 & At02 are date column with format mask 'hh12:mi pm'. When the user input 9:30 and tab to next item, the column will display as 09:30 AM. Then when user input 12:30 at AT02, it will display as 12:30 PM.
    Anyway, if I enter 1:00 at AT02, it will display as 01:00 AM. Actually I want to display as 01:00 PM. I still can go back to the field to edit it manually but is there a way that I can do as mentioned ?
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Shu Wen

    You are going to have to write your own validation logic to do this - You'll have to decide what point AM shoudl be defaulted and what point PM should be used. I don't think that there is a format mask that provides this functionality.

  • Amount from 2 different columns. import format?

    Hi all,
    Im trying to import amounts from 2 different columns. If accounts are "123" or "234" or...etc
    Then pull from column
    else use column 9
    can this be done in one import script? I want to know if I can assign import format amount to column 5 but only get the accounts asked for. else use column 9.
    thanks

    I made something like this, and assigned it to an amount column with all the amounts. Does it make sense?
    Function This_Code (strField, strRecord)
    Dim Account
    Dim Ammount
    'Field instead of strRecord
    account = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strField, 12, 5, ",")
    Amount = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strField, 12, 11, ",")
    If Account = "123" or Account = "456" Then
    Amount = This_Code
    End If

  • How to Suppress Report Total When Using Sum on Columns & Break Formatting

    I need to know how to NOT show the report total line when using the sum functionality with a break in a report.
    I am summing two columns, a debit amount and credit amount. I am breaking on the first column which is the level of a hierarchical query. I want to see something like this:
    Parent Record xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Parent Sum $$ $$
    Child Record xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Child Record xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Child Sum $$ $$
    However, when I run the report, I also get a report total line under the child sum which is really meaningless for this report.
    I have also tried creating this report as an interactive report. When applying the sum on the two columns, I do get the sum totals on the break only - no report total - however, it is reversing the order of the hierarchical query results putting the child records first and the parent records second.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi, and welcome!
    I don't think that there's an easy way to "switch off" the Total line on a report. The nearest I could suggest would be to either hide the entire row or colour the text so that it's the same as the background - either way, the total is calculated but the user won't see it.
    If you put something like the following into your report region's Region Footer:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var outertable = document.getElementById("#REGION_ID#");
    var innertable = outertable.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")[1];
    var rs = innertable.rows;
    var lastrow = rs[rs.length-1];
    if (lastrow.cells[0].innerHTML == '<b>TOTAL</b>')
    rs[rs.length - 1].style.display = "none";
    </script>Then, on your report's Report Attributes page, scroll down to the Break Formatting section and put TOTAL into the "Display this text when printing report sums" setting. Also, in the "Layout and Pagination" section, set "Enable Partial Page Refresh" to No.
    The above code is based on the report and region templates that I'm using here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:147] (Theme 18, "Report Region" region template and "Standard" report template). Your report may use different templates, so the first two lines on the code may have to change. #REGION_ID# would be replaced with the region's ID value (which would be "R" followed by a long number). As long as you can identify the HTML tag that uses this ID value, you can then get to the actual table that contains the data as it would be a TABLE within that tag - the [1] above is the second table within the region. In some instances, you may have to use "region_#REGION_ID#" as the starting point.

    hi,
    problem is if the description field is long then other coloum are comming fine but if description caloumn is small then other also get affected and its comes towards left .
    Edited by: jaihind on Mar 6, 2010 12:22 PM

    Hi
    For this u can resolve by using the Formatting characters ......
    This is your layout ..
    s.no| descriptio | UOM | Qty | Rate | AMT |
    01 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 11.01 17.28 170000000 2400000
    Assume that   your field names like  
    s.no      |  description  |    UOM      |    Qty      |      Rate      |         AMT       |
    &sno&      &desc&         &UOM&       &Qty&         &rate&         &AMT&
    asseme that  length of these fields(in characters) as per your requirement will be ...
    s.no      |  description  |    UOM      |    Qty      |      Rate      |         AMT       |
    8                  15                  5                8                 10                  15
    For these use formatting characters    like   ...
                  s.no      |  description      |    UOM      |    Qty      |      Rate      |         AMT       |
    1stLine  &sno& ,,  &desc+0(15)&,,  &UOM&       &Qty&        &rate&         &AMT&
    2ndline                 &desc+15(15)&     
    &desc+0(15)&  -  it will print  first 15 characters from 0th position
    &desc+15(15)&- From 15th position it will print 15 characters ..
    Hope you resolve your issue

  • SAP Script - Formatting Line

    Hi Experts,
    In a classical ABAP report we make use of
    write:/20 'Text'.
    to print text from the 20th column. Can we do something similar in a SAP Script Page Window. I have a box and lines drawn. Now I want the text to start exactly after the vertical line(column). Is there a way to do in SAP Script.
    Regards
    Abdullah.

    You can use Paragraph format in SE71 Transaction,
    here you can able to see Tab position ,give first tab would be 20 char alignment would be Left or right.
    If you need design the box ,then i am giving simple example below :
    POSITION WINDOW                               
    BOX WIDTH '74' CH HEIGHT '36.5' LN FRAME 10 TW
    POSITION WINDOW                               
    BOX WIDTH '74' CH HEIGHT '3.1' LN FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 10  
    POSITION XORIGIN '0.9' CM                                   
    BOX WIDTH 0 CM HEIGHT '36.5' LN FRAME 10 TW                 
    POSITION XORIGIN '3.0' CM                                   
    BOX WIDTH 0 CM HEIGHT '36.5' LN FRAME 10 TW                 
    POSITION XORIGIN '5.0' CM                                   
    BOX WIDTH 0 CM HEIGHT '36.5' LN FRAME 10 TW                 
    POSITION XORIGIN '7.2' CM                                   
    BOX WIDTH 0 CM HEIGHT '36.5' LN FRAME 10 TW                 
    POSITION XORIGIN '8.3' CM                                   
    BOX WIDTH 0 CM HEIGHT '36.5' LN FRAME 10 TW                 
    POSITION XORIGIN '9.5' CM                                   
    BOX WIDTH 0 CM HEIGHT '36.5' LN FRAME 10 TW                 
    POSITION XORIGIN '12.0' CM                                  
    BOX WIDTH 0 CM HEIGHT '36.5' LN FRAME 10 TW                 
    POSITION XORIGIN '14.5' CM                                  
    BOX WIDTH 0 CM HEIGHT '36.5' LN FRAME 10 TW                 
    POSITION XORIGIN '17.0' CM                                  
    BOX WIDTH 0 CM HEIGHT '36.5' LN FRAME 10 TW

  • Logical column currency format properties at rpd level?

    I need to show the currency amount with dollar symbol for a logical column and that should happen at rpd level.
    Is there anyway we could do that ?
    thank you

    Hi User.
    You can have logical column name as 'Amount in $' or 'Amount in Dollar'
    this is the best practice..
    Then if you want value to be suffixed by $ , you can go for data formatting in column properties.....
    this is commonly used....
    mark if Correct/helps .

  • Compare two columns and formate based on condition

    I know this dead horse has been beaten and I've read my fair share of threads and manuals to no avail..  I have two list that consist of movie titles, holiday movies to be exact.  I'm creating a holiday movie schedule which consist of three(3) columns...A,B and C.  Column A is the Date, Sat, November 17 2012 thru Monday, Dec 24, 2012.  Column C consist of a movie list divided into 2 sections with three subsections each.  Section 1 is animated movies and Section 2 is live action, each subsection, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 are lists based on popularity with the kids...low, medium and high respectively.  And finally column B is the movie list relative the column A...the schedule.
    As I write a movie title in column B, I'd like the cell fill to be light red and the corresponding title in column C change to strike through font type.  This way I know I've added the movie title to the schedule...this comes in handy when I ask the kids to help so we have no duplicates in the schedule.  I'm assuming this would take a combination of; Conditional Formatting, cell formulas and perhaps an additional blank column for trigger results.
    I'm including the table, which include an experimental column I was working on.  As an FYI, this has been completed in Excel already, just hoping to get it done in Numbers.
    Thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Hi Stephen,
    Both of these are solvable, and the Date solution cold be similar to that used for the 'stock list' in column C. The Movie Title solution is a different case, though.
    The stock list is edited only occasionally, so requiring the user to unhide column C, add a title, then rehide the column is workable.
    The same is true of the date list, so this too would work with the dates entered into a column that will be hidden, then copied into a visible column with a formula that introduced a detectable difference into the copied version, dependent on the weekday of each date. That difference would be used to trigger the conditional formatting of the cell containing the calculated date as text value. See the example below.
    But the (scheduled) Movie Title column doesn't fit nicely into that mode of operation, as it is edited quite often. As editing, usng the model described, requires making the data column visible, editing the entry (or entries) in that column, then rehiding the column, the hassle factor soon becomes insufferable, if nothing else.
    The first solution I considered (see earlier reply) is workable only if the the formatted table starts and remains the same size in all details (ie. individual row height) as the main table.Any change in row height in the main table not reflected in the auxiliary table immediately destroys the impression of formatting applying to the correct cells. With cells set to wrap text and varying lengths of movie titles, wrapped lines changing the height of individual rows is pretty much unavoidable.
    Best practice here would seem to be to use a separate column to flag the titles already in the "Class" list with a "√" (or flag those not in the list with an "X"), and use conditional formatting to change the background colour of the flagging cell.
    Here's a sample, using "W" to flag the weekend dates in the new column B, and "√" to flag the titles that are on the list already in the new column D.
    I've added two titles to the weekend date, November 18. One is non-existent (as far as I know), so it doesn't appear in the list and doesn't get flagged; the other is chosen from a visible part of the list to show the highlighting of the title in that list. Column "C" (now column "F" due to the insertion of two new columns) is hidden. G, labelled .Class, is the calculated column (D) from the previous message.
    Regards,
    Barry
