[cp6] Non-breaking spaces not working

Hello,
Can't get them to work and thus get some ugly textboxes sometimes.
Tried cut & paste and Alt + ASCII code...
Does it work ?
Thanks.

Non-breaking space in dynamic data

Hi all,
I am building an org chart using a databound table. Each individual should be indented to their org level. I tried adding a series of non breaking spaces (in the java layer) to the person's name to get an indent but uix encodes the & upon publish and the non breaking space doesnt work. Any ideas on how to prevent the & from being encoded? I also tried using a databound spacer element but the spacer element doesnt allow databinding on its width property...any ideas welcome.
thanks
Rachel

In Java, a non-breaking space is "\u00a0", not " ". is an HTML thing only.
Also, <spacer> definitely does allow databinding on width.

How to insert a non-breaking space in a reference page?

Hello all,
Is it possible to insert a non-breaking space in a reference page? I want to control the TOC numbering so that page numbers don't break at the hyphen:
In my reference page, I have the following TOC definition:
<$paratext> <$chapnum>-<$pagenum>
Replacing the hyphen with \+ doesn't seem to work.
Thanks!
Sue

Sue,
The sequence \+ is used in dialog boxes. Try typing the nonbreaking hyphen as
Esc hyphen h
Press the keys in sequence. Do not hold the Esc key down while you type the others.
A nonbreaking space is
Esc space h
OR
Control+space
Hope this helps,
Van

Using non-breaking spaces in attributes

Hello all,
I am writing reusable modules in Structured FrameMaker. Part of the reusability comes from using a variable instead of a hard-coded machine name, so that the machine name does not require variants of the same text. Using the standard FrameMaker variables is out of the question, so I have introduced a BookVar element that takes an attribute to determine which value is selected. All possible attribute values for the BookVar element lead to an attribute of the Book, which is the highest element in my publishable document.
The problem is, that the name of the machine may contain a non-breaking space. I can enter the non-breaking space as the attribute value in the Book element, but when the BookVar that receives its value from the Book attribute is resolved the name does not contain the non-breaking space anymore. Is there a special character code that I can include in the value of an attribute ?
Thanks in advance for your solutions

Hello again Michael,
I tried the \x05 and it works like a breeze ! Thanks again.
Apparently I was mistaken in assuming that I can suppress hyphenation via Text Range formatting, at least not if I want to keep my EDD free of any direct formatting. I can assign a character format, but in the Character Designer there seems to be no option to suppress hyphenation. This is handled on the paragraph level, and I do not want to suppress hyphenation for the entire paragraph just to keep my machine name from being cut down the middle.
As I am not using roundtripping to XML for this client, the trick with the \x05 in the attribute value, combined with the Alt-0160 for the non-breaking space, does exactly what I need it to do. If I need to get into roundtripping later, I will have to find some kind of trick to preserve the suppressed hyphenation - probably by introducing an extra attribute in the BookVar element that controls it (and then gets translated into the correct preceding \x05 code by the Read-Write rules).
Anyway, I already owed you a free dinner in Amsterdam, so now the drinks will be on me, too !
Ciao

Mail And Non-Breaking Spaces

I posted a topic some time ago and had zero (0) answer to it. Here it is once again.
Mail doesn't know what to do with non breaking spaces (alt-spacebar). It simply ignores them. The right encoding is there all right (I checked) but Mail acts exactly as if it were an ordinary space.
This forum treats those non breaking spaces correctly. TextEdit treats them correctly. But Mail doesn't and hasn't done for several year now.
This is a major irritant in French, where the rules of typography dictate such a space before all high punctuation (question mark and all that).
Does somebody know something about this, and why Mail behaves like such a bad guy?
RTP, annoyed

Sir:
I know perfectly well that (almost) nobody works for Apple here. This being said, before sending a bug report, it's common procedure to try and see if others have met the same difficulty. It would be quite nice indeed if you tried to reproduce what I observe and tell me that yes, it seems to be a bona fide bug, or no, you do not observe it and then I must see if something is wrong with my system instead of reporting a bug which is not a bug.
I invite you to take a look at my unanswered questions. You may ask yourself why so few people answer topics nowadays. If you look at my "answered" questions, see the number of them that I solved by myself because very few people chimed in. There is one reason for this, but I do not want to enter this debate once again.
This was kind of you to give me the proper references for bugs, even if I knew them already, which you could not know, as I have reported several bugs in the past.
In the mean time, I will continue to try to find a work around for this problem, and what is as important, how my posts are received in Entourage, Windows, or web-based email systems. I will then report my findings in this same topic.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my post.

Trim non-breaking space

I have got some columns imported with leading non-breaking space (chr(160)) when I imported them from excel. I need to clean it up. How do I trim the non-breaking space out of the column.
I tried replace(column, chr(160), '') but that did not work. Can anyone help me with this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I tried replace(column, chr(160), '') but that did not work.are you sure it is chr(160) then? replace should work though:
SQL> with t as (
select chr(160) || ' other text' s from dual
select length(s) length_org, length(replace(s,chr(160))) length from t
LENGTH_ORG LENGTH

Inserting non-breaking spaces between specific word combinations

Hi all,
I'm a bit of an InDesign novice, and need to work out an efficient way to automate a typesetting job. The story is that the work we're publishing is in the Maori language, and there are certain word combinations that are separated by spaces but need to be typeset so that they don't break across a line. When you import a doc file the line breaks can be anywhere, of course, and we've previously gone through and checked manually that all is well, with any changes that need to be made being done by hand (with changes cascading through the rest of the paragraph, of course). As you can imagine, this can be pretty time consuming, and it's all wasted if the client then asks for the font to be slightly larger etc.
I'd like to help avoid this by running a script that finds and replaces the space between certain words with a non-breaking space. We're currently producing a list of the combinations where this will occur. Are you guys able to show me how to produce a script that will replace "word1[space]word2" with "word1[nbsp]word2", "word3[space]word4" with "word3[nbsp]word4"...?
Thank you for any help you can offer!
Stephen

simplest way: use findChageByList script provided by Adobe.
the syntax for the list should be like this:
text[tab here not space]{findWhat:"word_one word_two"}[tab here not space]{changeTo:"word_one^Sword_two"}[tab here not space]{includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:true, wholeWord:true, caseSensitive:true, kanaSensitive:true, widthSensitive:true, ignoreKashidas:true, ignoreDiacritics:false}
add as many lines as needed and adjust preferenecs to your likings.

Missing the non-breaking space

On a Powerbook G4 12". In both MS Word and Nisus Writer Pro the 'option+spacebar' combination that should produce a non-breaking space does nothing whatsoever. The option key works fine in other combinations but not that one. As it's across applications, I have to assume the glitch is in the OS or hardware someplace. I've turned off Function keys, turned them back on, nothing's made the slightest difference.
And the thing is, I don't see this phenomenon on my G5 tower, running the same apps and same flavor of OSX.
Has anybody encountered this oddity? It's just bloody strange.
Thanks,
gf

I turned up a conflict: Both Input Menu and Spotlight were using the key combo of Command+space, and CommandOptionspace. While neither of these was exactly the option+space key combo, fixing the duplication eliminated the problem.
Very interesting! Command + Space is an important shortcut for other things, and for it to mess up Option + space is a major bug.
There are some cases where NBSP will not work at all:

Non-Breaking Spaces in Structured FM9 Make a File Invalid

Hi All,
I'm working with Structured FrameMaker to author XML and I'm facing a problem that I've never had with FM 7.2: if I have a non-breaking space in a variable definition, when FM saves the file, it replaces the non-breaking space with the character code 0x11. I get the error message that states the file contains invalid characters. Worst of all, I can't reopen this file any longer with FM...
Is there any solution or workaround? For me it's a crucial issue as it just doesn't allow me to continue using FM for XML.
I'll appreciate any advice. Many thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi Michael,
Thank you for answering. I installed the patch you mentioned, but it doesn't seem to work. The problem I describe still persist.
Is there a way to make it work? It's very critical to us as this doesn't allow us to keep using FrameMaker...
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Nokia 2710 navigator - non-breaking spaces possibl...

Hi there, this has been driving me nuts, and it seems like there should be a way to do it! I can format a message in the editor with spacing and it looks perfect, but the spaces are being trimmed it seems! Either before or after sending! Is there a way to make sure the receiver sees my formatting, or does it depend on the properties of his/her phone? (i.e. I don't know if my nokia is trimming before sending or if the receiver's phone is). If I send one to my inbox, the spaces are trimmed as well. Failing that, is there a way to insert a proper non-breaking space (ala html's   ) into an sms? I've googled so hard and no luck!! Basically I wanted to make a creative "ascii art" style msg, and I can't really do it without this...
Thanks in advance for any possible solutions!!!

THere is no non-breaking space - this si not a limitation of your particular phone, it is a limitation of the SMS service in general.
You can insert a graphical smiley into the message by selecting Options>Insert symbol>Smiley then choose from the list of available smileys.

Removing Non-Breaking Spaces En Masse

A bunch of text I copied into a pages document is littered with lots and lots of non-breaking spaces (^ with a dot underneath it, showing up as an invisible).
Does anyone know of a way to select the affected text and convert the non-breaking spaces into regular spaces? Or am I doomed to delete each non-breaking space mark and replace each with a regular space, one at a time, over and over again, ad nauseum (Satan make note)?

Search & Replace is available to all of us.
Type alt + space in the 'search' field
Type space in the "replace' field
Click "Replace All"

Non-breaking space in Adobe Muse

Is it possible to insert non-breaking space in Adobe Muse?

Hi,
There is no direct way or Muse-specific keyboard shortcut to insert a non-breaking space.
On Mac, I was able to insert it using Unicode Hex Input keyboard layout (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#Hexadecimal_code_input). Non-breaking space is 00A0. I would expect the corresponding Windows method to work too.
That said, Muse exports a setting (word-wrap: break-word) that allows word breaks at normally 'unbreakable' positions. I haven't tested it, but I have a feeling non-breaking spaces will be defeated by this setting. May I ask what your use case is?
Thanks,
Abhishek

Mobility between HREAP and NON HREAP does not work..

HREAP Local Switch and Auth has been enabled on SSID.
Indoor AP is in HREAP mode.
Outdoor AP does not support HREAP mode.
Client connects to indoor AP....continous PING breaks after client roams to outdoor AP. The state of the client is RUN.
Disable HREAP Local Auth and the issue goes away. Why?

Without HREAP config, you will not be able to do local-auth on the AP
The design guid says roam between a HREAP and non-HREAP will not work,
Thanks

Dock dissapear, Exposse, Spaces not work

Dock is dissapear, Exposse and Spaces not work, i had repaired permissions from disk utillity but all is de the same, restart and all is not working, command + tab either work, and if a try to minimizar a window nothings happend

I am experiencing this same problem. I have been fine for a few weeks after my Leopard update, but then all of a sudden today I could not find my dock. I wasn't able to get it back at all, so I tried to shut down. It would not shut down so I had to do a hard shut down by holding in the power button. When it rebooted, the dock was still non-existent. I did some googling and learned it might be a corrupt preference. I then deleted the preferences, and immediately a dock (the original default installed) came up. It seemed ok for about 30 seconds, then it quit, and keeps flashing, reappearing, poking out. I deleted the preferences again, same result.
I ran disk utility. It found some permissions problems and "repaired" them. Now the activity monitor shows that my dock is starting and quitting, as stated above, and I can't see it at all. It's gone.
I am pretty upset about this, I rely on the dock heavily for my drag and drop applications in CS3.
Any solutions to this yet?

Not sure why line break is not working

Hi all,
Here is part of my simple Swing application:
String text1 = "hello";
String text2 = "world";
String text3 = text1+"\n"+text2;
// have also tried (String text3 = text1+"\n\r"+text2;)
displayField.setText(text3);I supposed that the text3 in the label field (displayField) would display like this:
hello
world
But not, the text3 just displayed in the same line like this instead: helloworld.
I am not sure why the line break is not working.

Use HTML for a multiline JLabel.// String text3 = text1+"\n"+text2;
String text3 = "<html>" + text1 + "<br/>" + text2 + "</html>";db
