Custom Text Format not available

Hi,
I'm trying to specify a column (text datatype) in a report as a hyperlink, but when I navigate to the column properties screen and check the "Overide default data format" box, I only have the two "Plain Text" options in the drop down list. This is driving me crazy as I know I should be able to select HTML, hyperlink, etc, but for some reason they're not present...
Is there any reason why they may have become unavailable?
Many thanks,
Andy

Turns out the answer is fairly straightforward, though reasonably well hidden...
metalink3 note 739736.1 gives the answer:
"Customer wants to set the data format of a column to HTML or hyperlink. To do this they need the privilege "Save System-Wide Column Formats".
When they don't have this privilege, they are only able to set the data format to "plain text".
This is the current behaviour of the application and there is no workaround."
Lo and behold, changing the privilege sorted all the format options...

    Hi,
    Select text column (varchar column) -> Treat Text as -> custom text format ->Remove @ (default) -> add [html]<script>sometext(‘@’)</script> followed by your javascript
    for eg:
    [html]<script>buildGoogleChart(‘@’)</script> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function show_alert() { alert("Hello! I am an alert box!"); } </script> </head> <body> <input type="button" onclick="show_alert()" value="Show alert box" /> </body> </html>

  • Fonts used in some text layers not available...

    I've been gettting the following message lately when opening Photoshop files at work: "Fonts used in some text layers are not available for activation. You will need to replace these fonts before the layers can be used for vector based output".
    But when I check my text layers, there are no indications that any fonts are missing. I double click on every text layer to see what font is being used and double check Suitcase Fusion to make sure it is activated.
    I'm using OSX Maverick 10.9.2. I'm using Suitcase Fusion 5 version 16.2.0. And I'm using Photoshop CC 14.2.1. It's more of an annoyance than anything, but would like to know why it keeps telling me fonts are not available when they are currently activated in Suitcase. Not sure if it's an Adobe issue or a Suitcase Fusion issue.
    Anyone have any ideas on this?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    DrStrik9, I opened up the file, clicked on each text layer and selected all to make sure there wasn't any character using a different font. There wasn't. I clicked on the font being used, tried changing it to a different font, then back to the font that was being used. I saved and closed the file, then reopened it, and that seemed to cure it for that file. Not an efficient way to go about it though.
    I then tried another file that was giving me the same error, clicked on each text layer, changed the font to a different one, then back to what was being used, saved, closed and reopened it, and still got the same message. So it didn't work for that one. I then tried changing the font to a system font, Times Bold true type, saved, closed, reopened, and got the message again. So not sure what is going on. The fonts used in the first file were DIN and DINEngschrift postscript font, which were loaded and active in Font Fusion.
    The 2nd file I tried was using Gotham Bold postscript font, which also was active in Font Fusion. I've run Font Doctor on the fonts and found no issues.
    Even though I'm getting the error message when I'm opening these files, none of the text layers have that Exclamation point indicating there is an issue with the layer, so it would seem the text layers are fine. Just really annoying to get that error every time I open the file.
    Another thing I tried is I created a new Photoshop file and just made some text layers using Gotham Bold. Saved, closed and reopened the file and did not get the message. So, I don't know why I would get it with one file and not another. Very confusing/frustrating. Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

  • Why does text formatting not copy from RH project to RH project?

    In RoboHelp 9, I'm copying text, from one RoboHelp project to another. How come the text formatting is not retained? The indenting is off and the small Roman numerals and small letters are changed to bullets.

    Different CSS files?

  • NetBoot: full text search not available in Mail.app

    Hi,
    we got a NetBoot 10.5.2 image with a Mail.app IMAP account already set up.
    When you do a search in Mail.app, the "Entire message" button is greyed out and not available.
    This probably has to do with Spotlight not playing well in this circumstance...
    There is a way to solve this?
    Thank you

    I don't know if this will apply, but it's worth checking.
    http://www.dextechs.com/osx105spotlight.html
    It mostly revolves around fonts that can't be indexed by Spotlight, and that may be the case on your NetBook image.
    Hope this helps.

  • "copy with formating" not available

    when i create documents with adobe acrobate, then go to copy a paragraph, sometimes i have the option to "copy with formating", and sometimes it is grayed out.
    WHY?

    how do i implement it so that it is always with formatting.  My letters are made from word.  they do
    have headers in the document.
    Some highlights —
    You state that you use MS Word.
    If using a release prior to Office 2007:
    Before starting Word, set Adobe Printer as the local machine's default printer.
    Pre-2007 Word releases, when awakened from slumber latch onto the printer metrics of the default printer.
    Changing to Adobe PDF while in a Word session can be like changing horses mid-stream.
    With Office 2007, Word does not do this. So, less of an issue.
    For Headings - Always use MS Word's built-in Headings.
    For white space between paragraphs - configure the Style's space above/below.
    Do not use "Enter" for white space.
    For Tables - Ensure any table laid out with MS Word has at least one designated Header Row.
    Headers/Footers would be Artifacts by default. Some authoring applications make it easy to change this in the authoring file; some do not.
    If not, manually post-processing the Tagged output PDF would be called for.
    For Tag Management:
    Through Office 2007; use Adobe PDFMaker to output the PDF.
    Configure it for accessibiltity, "advanced options", & just use the default setup for Headings to PDF Bookmarks.
    With Office 2007 SP2 MS provides a Save As PDF - XPS.
    Use "PDF" - go into "options" (via button) to confirm configuration for accessibility support.
    Configure the Distiller job option used to embed fonts.
    Press Quality or High Quality Print are two "out of the box" job options that are pre-configured to support this.
    For any figures (images  - graphics) - in Word, consider accessing the dialog for entering Alternate Text & adding it.
    In Word, if the file contains graphic objects be sure to group them appropriately.
    If using Office 2010 -
    See: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/faq/
    Visit:
    http://www.appligent.com/adobeaccessibility
    Obtain the PDF document authored by Greg Pisocky of Adobe.
    Obtain the exercise files.
    A well-formed authoring file, with proper tag management provides a well-formed Tagged PDF output. Some requisite post-processing with Acrobat PRO seals the deal.
    But, this all that "accessibility stuff" you say!
    Yes, but the point is that a well-formed Tagged PDF does more than "accessibility".
    It does reflow for mobile devices
    AND
    It does export with format (which is what you want).
    Some study & practice required ("tanstaafl"); but, for simple MS Word content one could be "up and running" in a reasonable time.
    Be well...

  • Constant Bit Rate / ATSC HD Formats / NOT AVAILABLE?

    Compressor does not allow CBR as an available compression format for any HD formats- Only NTSC.
    This has been a bit of a frustration for us, as a number of HD playout hardware manufacturers require CBR files types for their compressed media.
    Does anyone know if Apple Pro Apps have any plans to support CBR for HD formats in the future...?
    Thanks;

    good question... i've been trying to find out about creating a MPEG 422 CBR for XDCAM is it possible?

  • Text Recognition not available for PDF.

    Hi, I am trying to perform OCR on a document that was scanned and my Text Recognition options are greyed out. The document isn't restricted and the security options are all turned off. What is making my document unable to be recognised?
    Here is a link to the PDF.

    Hi,
    Issue is not reproducible. Could you please specify more details about which version of Acrobat are you using. And what is the OS you are using.
    Is this issue seen for this file only or you can see this issue on other files as well?
    Thanks.

  • Full-text search not available after upgrade from SQL 2008 R2 Std to SQL 2012 Std

    We upgraded our production SQL Server from 2008 R2 Std to 2012 Std last week, and the installation logs show everything was successful, but now we are unable to do any searches against our full-text indexes.  The resulting error is as follows:
    "Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded."
    When executing the query "SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('ISFULLTEXTINSTALLED')", the result is "0".  The "Full-Text Daemon Launcher service is also running.  When running installation again to add the feature, it shows
    "Full-Text and Semantic Extractions for Search" as being installed and unavailable for selection in the list of features to add.  As a side note, we did the same upgrade in our identical QA environment before production and everything was successful
    and full-text searches are working correctly.  We have run the "Repair" routine in the SQL Installation Center and it did not correct the problem.
    The full-text catalogs still appear when browsing through the GUI in SSMS or querying sys.fulltext_indexes and sys.fulltext_index_columns.  It is not possible to view the properties of the catalog in SSMS, though, as the GUI throws an error and an empty
    dialog box is shown.  Any other thoughts?
    Thanks,
    AJ

    I have no idea what is going, but assuming that it is a little pressing to get this fix, I think the best path in this case is to open a case with Microsoft.

  • How to populate the Language Key description is not available

    Hi,
    Question: How to populate the Language Key description is not available in the Customer text table
    The problem is ;
    Customer no : 0012345
    For this Customer no description is maintained only in EN, JA ,FR from R3 side.
    EN : HP International Ltd
    JP:HP &#12398;&#22269;&#38555;&#30340;&#12394;&#26666;&#24335;&#20250;&#31038;
    FR: Ltd International de HP
    There is no value for Language ES.
    BW side:
    User is login into language Key ES and executing the report based on this Customer no. There is no Customer text value maintained in language Key ES. It should populate the text value empty. BW system - Language ES is installed.
    I have a Reporting requirement is - I need to populate the text value for this customer No: HP International Ltd when the user login to language Key ES and execute his reports.
    /BI0/TCUSTOMER – Customer text table – I am able to see the description for the EN, JP, FR text values.
    EN: HP International Ltd
    JP: HP &#12398;&#22269;&#38555;&#30340;&#12394;&#26666;&#24335;&#20250;&#31038;
    FR: Ltd International de HP
    If the Customer text is not available in the text table of customer for language key ES - I have to populate the any one of the existing customer text values into the language key ES - example
    0012345 ES  HP International Ltd
    Simplest solution if we maintained ES customer description in R/3 should be ok.
    Is their any other logic which I can implement in BW.

    Hi,
    If you are opting to load Customer Text, there are two options:
    1. R/3 maintained.
    2. Generic Extraction using Flat Files.
    Hope it helps..

  • DECODING MAIL FROM WEB SERVER IN PLAIN TEXT FORMAT(THE MAIL BEING SENT BY LABVIEW APPLICATION)

    Hi All
    I have a labview application that send mail every hour automatically.
    But actually the mail has to be decoded from the web server(by another application).But now when that application decode the data in the mail(that is send by labview application)its getting some funny characters inside that can not be detected by the decoding application
    (When open the mail no problem.)But actually our goal is to decode the mail from the web server.
    Why the extra characters are appearing when decoding from the server?Is it because of the HTML format?
    Is there option to send the mail in plain text format(not like attachment)?
    In outlook we can change the setting (tools->options->send->mail sending format->....here we can set as HTML format/Plain Text format)
    Like that at the sending time can i chenge the sending option as plain text format in my labview application?
    Thanks...

    Then it sounds to me like this other application is not decoding the attachment correctly, especially if you looked at the attachment yourself after you received it and verified it's correct.
    No, no, smercurio. This is charcter encoding here. In older versions of LabVIEW you could specify what character encoding to use when sending an email through the SMTP VIs. But that gave problems since people in certain locales used certain characters that where not transfered right when the wrong encoding was specified, and that encoding stuff is not understood by most people at all, so the wrong selected encoding was rather the rule than the exception. In newer versions of LabVIEW do the SMTP VIs handle the encoding automatically based on the currently used locale on the system.
    This change is documented in the Upgrade Notes of LabVIEW and probably happened around LabVIEW 7.1 or 8.0.
    A decent mail client will recognize the encoding and convert it back to whatever is necessary before presenting it to the user. The OPs posters server application obviously isn't a smart mail client but probably just some crude text file parser that has no notion of proper mail character encoding and how to deal with it.
    I would suppose that there is a chance to dig into the SMTP VIs itself and try to manipulate or disable that encoding altogether in there but that may open a whole can of worms somewhere else. The proper way would be to process the incoming mail by a character encoding aware mail client before passing it to the text parser. On Unix setting up something like this would be fairly trivial.
