Custom word-breaks possible?

Hello everybody,
is there a way to create a custom word-break setting? In Mac OS 10.6, included options in the "Language & Text" prefpane are "Standard", "English", "Greek" and "Japanese". But none of these settings regard the "_" character as a word-separator, so double-klicking i.e. on the first word in "word1_word2" highlights both words. Nor can you jump from word1 to word2 in a Texteditor using the Alt-Arrow command.
Even if this goes deep into the System level, there has to be a file that's defining what is to be considered as a word-break and what not. Or somewhere there have to be the definitions for the above mentioned settings. Any clues? The ability to modify these setting wouold really help me a lot as I often have to deal with filenames consisting of "dateplus_severalwords" and renaming these files is a pain.
Thanks in advance and Best Regards,
Werner

This is probably governed by a system-level .plist file somewhere which you could manually modify. The problem is finding out exactly where it is.....

Custom word wrap

Hi guro's,
I've written a custom canvas to simulate a textarea with some nice functions like a background picture and multi colored lines.
Now if come to a point where I got a prolem I could fix.
Suppose this is a bit of text I want to "lalalala [k00ff00] lalala [img1] lalala and so one"
If read the string with a StringTokenizer so I can pick out the tags and do stuff and for images do extra calculation where to start drawing after the picture
it's a while loop that checks every bit of string if it will fit on the screen if it doesn't fit anymore I create a new object to hold that string and continue. That works fine with some words... but if I type aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh it will not fit... and my procedure flips because it tries to fit it in :P
Does any one have some advise?
Thnx...

If you cannot find a word break, you'll have to resort to breaking at the maximum line width.

Strange behaviour on searching Chinese word (maybe related with word breaker?)

Dear all,
On my SP2013 environment, I have installed Chinese (traditional) language pack and I am able to search out Chinese document after crawling. However most of the time I cannot search out document with "single" word or "sentence".
I have to search using "term".
For example, our test document contains a sentence "中國語文". I can search out this document with "中國" or "語文" or "中國(space)語文". But I cannot search it out with any other combination like "中", "文",
or "中國語文".
I think it is related with Traditional Chinese specific word breaker but it would be a huge effort for me write a custom one. (ref:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms693186(v=vs.85).aspx) However, can I just disable word breaker (so that there is no "term" or "sentence" concept for
Chinese crawling & searching?)
Thanks.
P.S. I have looked around and found an article (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlfts/archive/2010/09/03/part1-sql-full-text-search-and-international-characters-interesting-scenarios-solutions-amp-deep-dive-using-dmv-s.aspx)
talking about similar issue on SQL2008.
Mark

I have tried to disable the word breaker for both Traditional and Simplied Chinese following this article:
http://sharepointknowledgebase.blogspot.hk/2012/08/need-to-disable-word-breaker- in.html
After restart the search services and running a full-crawl, the behaviour do changed a little bit but still far from expected. Searching single Chinese word (e.g. 語) sometimes work and sometimes not work.

Error "Unable to load word breaker for locale 0. Error code 8007007e." with search service application.

I recreate the Search service application and the default Content source stayning in the 'Recovering' status.
The log give multiple error 'Unable to load word breaker for locale 0. Error code 8007007e.'
The default language is English and the reference in registry for word breaker dll is naturallanguage1.dll but I found only the naturallanguage6.dll.

Hi,
For your issue, check your current language settings and ensure that search supports the current language.
On the SharePoint Server open Registry Editor (Start -> type “Regedit” and hit enter).
Point to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeServer\14.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\LanguageResources\Default\English
Under the registry key for each of the languages there is a value called StemmerDLLPath and WBDLLPathOverride
Updated the registry entry with NATURA~1.dll to NATURA~2.dll
Point to Start -> Administrative Tools -> Services, right click on SharePoint Server Search 14 and click on Restart.
Performed a Full Crawl and wait for the Full Crawl to complete and try searching again.
For more detailed information, refer to the following blogs:

i am currently running a trial version of indesign. i am trying to make a cd booklet. when i open a new document and try to find 'compact disc' in the document presets, it isn't there. all i have for options are 'default and custom'. is it possible to open the 'compact disc' preset from a trial version?

Are you sure, Eugene? I have this option:

Custom page breaks with "@media print" in CSS when creating a PDF from HTML?

Searching for threads containing the text string "@media print" gave me zero hits, so I guess I'm either the smartest guy in the entire universe for coming up with this idea or the dumbest for the same reason since I must be missing something that everyone else knows by heart without even asking.
Namely, I would like to make use of the CSS "@media print" wrapper when I'm converting an HTML file to PDF through Adobe Acrobat - as opposed to printing an HTML page through a web browser using the Adobe PDF virtual printer device. These are, as I understand it, two equivalent though not entirely identical (as they make use of and rely on somewhat different settings) procedures that both convert an HTML file into a PDF document.
Here's my CSS code:
@media print { span.pagebreak {page-break-before: always} }
And here's my HTML code invoking the page break:
<span class="pagebreak"></span>
Bottom line, this works great when I print the HTML file through my web browser, using the Adobe PDF printer device. However, when converting the HTML file through Adobe Acrobat, this print-related setting is ignored. Obviously, printing and converting a file isn't technically identical but as I said, it's for virtually all intents and purposes the same procedure.
I'm guessing that someone at the Adobe HQ must have thought through this issue during a brainstorming session and come up with a simple yet elegant solution to cater for the needs of those who want to use custom page breaks when converting their HTML documents directly through Adobe Acrobat. Maybe a simple setting somewhere or a custom CSS tag like "@media adobe", or something similar?

I've never heard of anyone succeeding in this.

Word breaks in Columns

hi there!
I am using indesign for a large amount of type formatting.
My problem begins when I have a word break and I try to kerm it in to come back to the line above and it doesn't work until it's kerned far too much. When I look at the column, there is plenty of room for the remainder of the word to kern back up, but something prevents it. I checked my text formats and all the insets are set to "0"
Does anyone know what is causing my word breaks to occur when it's clear there is enough room for the words to fit on one line?
Hope this makes sense!
Any help is much appreciated!
L

Other things to try after Peter's suggestion.
Turn off hyphenation for that paragraph only. Or change hyphenation settings.
Play with Optical vs. Metrics in the kerning field (sometimes one works, sometimes the other.)
Play with justification: make "minimum" and "desired" 99% instead of 100--you can try it on just that line.
You can find all these in the Control Bar. There's a contextual menu at the very right when you toggle the Control Bar to Paragraph, and you should see a list that includes Hyphenation and Justification.
Cheers.

How to solve the auto word break problem in Arabic language Flex project

Hi, I'm using Flex SDK 3.5 to develop a game in Arabic. Now I have a problem with the auto word break on the TextArea Control.
The output looks like this (Sorry I can't type arabic, so I use English instead)
I don't know any A
rabic text
The expected outpit should be
I don't know any
Arabic text
My settings of the textarea are fine in English version games. But just didn't work in Arabic. Any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi Rodger,
Sorry to reopen this thread again. I was puzzled by the data format in Motion-DDK.
From the Motion-DDK, if u32, i32 and f64 data are passed to and from the controller, a specific format must be followed as below:
u32:
u32 cmddata[x] = (WORD) (u32data ?16);
cmddata[x + 1] = (u16) u32data;
i32:
i32 cmddata[x] = (WORD) (i32data ?16);
cmddata[x + 1] = (i16) i32data;
f64:
f64—big endian order cmddata[x] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [3];
cmddata[x + 1] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [2];
cmddata[x + 2] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [1];
cmddata[x + 3] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [0];
f64—little endian order cmddata[x] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [0];
cmddata[x + 1] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [1];
cmddata[x + 2] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [2];
cmddata[x + 3] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [3];
My first question: is the "?" symbol means the >> (shift operator) or something else?
The second question is: if "?" means ">>" in this list, all the u32 and i32 data are always transferred in big-endian order. Is it the only correct way to deliver the i32 and u32 data? Or I can pass the u32 and i32 either in little-order or big-order depending on my platform?
The last one: could you provide a feasible C code on how to convert the f64 data to u16?
I first followed the format in the list to convert the f64 data, but met with a lot of compiler errors in VC++. After checked with MSDN, it is said the convert process is double(f64)->long(i32)->unsigned short(u16). But the decimal part of double will be truncated during converting to long...
So, could you help me with some very simple sample code on the convert process?
Thank you for your support!

Word break problems when typing in Asian fonts like 'Nepali and Hindi'

Hi!
I have to type Nepali and Hindi words but the words break unnecessarily. Is there any option in InDesign CS4 to control it? I know very well that in Pagemaker these Nepali and Hindi words do not break but in InDesign. Why?
How to fix it? Any idea will be highly respected.
I'm using Vista 32-bit with SP2.
Thanks.

Option #1: do not hyphenate the text at all. You don't say if this is all Nepali/Hindi, or mainly English text with some foreign words -- if there is no English text at all, you could disable hyphenation entirely.
Option #2: Do Not Break. If you are using character styles for the Nepali/Hindi text (for example, because you need to change the font), you could apply No Break to the entire string. Don't do this if it's more than a few words, though (or treat the spaces inbetween differently).
Option #3: Create a GREP style with just No Break in it. Then apply this to Nepali/Hindi text runs only -- http://indesignsecrets.com/search-for-foreign-language-characters-in-text.php shows you how.
I know very well that in Pagemaker these Nepali and Hindi words do not break but in InDesign. Why?
There must be a difference in the default word breaking algorithm. I wouldn't have guessed ID would break text with dedicedly foreign character sets applying its default hypenation rules, but there you go.

Need Advice on How To / Recommended App. for Custom "Word of the Day" Screensaver

I really like the “Word of the Day” screensaver that comes with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I would like to either 1.) customize this screensaver with my own dictionary OR 2.) identify an app that I could purchase / download which would allow me to create my own custom “Word of the Day” screensaver.
Does anyone have advice on how I can create a custom “Word of the Day” screensaver using my own dictionary?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
If you have time for just a couple more questions. The ultimate goal is have my new flash files in a version (as3) so they can be used as android, html5 and iOs products.
So would the steps be these?
Install cs6
Open SWF files that were created in as2
(I am assuming by doing this, all the assets will end up in the library which is currently not happening when I import the swf files into Flash CC)
So now I have the old swf files open in a version of flash that works in as2.
I understand that as2 is not fully convertible to as3. But assuming I want to use the assets (graphics and audio) to recreate the animations in as3 can I then save the as2 file as as3 so it would then work with AIR?
Thanks again?

Words break at margin - no hyphenation even

I recently opened an old Pages document with Pages 8 and found that all my text is not being treated as words, but just as individual letters. When the space runs out, the next letter in the word goes down to the next line. Here is an example:
I recently opened an old Pa
ges document with Pages 8 a
nd found that all my text is n
ot being treated as words, bu
t just as individual letters.
So this is what it looks like, and when I type an extra space in there, it just pushes the next LETTER down, and ignores that fact that there are WORDS there. I have tried copying it, and pasting, but it brings the formatting. Any suggestions on settings to check, or a different way to copy and paste it?
Thanks!

Trevor,
Is there anything that distinguishes the spaces between words from the spaces between characters? It seems as though there should be. Find and Replace is the ultimate solution. In the worst case, the spaces between words are multiples of the ones between letters. In this case, Copy the string of characters between two words and paste it into the Find field. In the Replace field enter a unique string such as QQ. Replace all. Now all your word breaks are replaced by QQ. Next Copy one of those things that are now separating your characters and Paste into the Find field. Delete anything in the Replace field so that it is absolutely blank. Double click in the Replace field to make sure that nothing gets highlighted, indicating that it is blank. Replace All.
Now, enter your QQ, or whatever, word separator into the Find field, enter a space into the Replace field, and Replace All.
You should be good to go.

Column name of custom columns is possible of translating automatic

In SharePoint 2013 is possible of translating automatic the column name of custom columns with machine translation services or it is necessary create resource files or source site and target site?

Hi,
When you create a column, the name you enter is just a constant string. SharePoint does not do translation based on known words. Internationalization is based on resource files.
Here are the steps I would take for creating international-able columns through the browser:
Create the column with the name you want as the internal name (ie, no spaces or symbols to avoid
_x0020_ and other encoding replacements).
Edit the column by changing the column name to a resource string that you know if defined in each language you want to support.
Here are similar posts, you can use as a reference:

Login Screen, custom shortcut keys possible?

I'd like to create a keyboard shortcut to "lock the screen" (login screen). I read through the helpfile and it's not clear this is possible.
I'd like, for example to do Apple-L to get that to work.
Is this possible?

QuickEdit, thanks for the help! Sorry not to reply sooner -- was away for a bit and have only had a chance to play around.
Based on your recommendation, I did some research on QuicKeys and also found another, similar program iKey (http://www.scriptsoftware.com/ikey/). I downloaded trial versions of both, and found iKey easier to manage. Plus it was cheaper ($30 versus 79.95). I was able to assign shortcut keys using modifiers (alt, cmd, ctl) and the keys that Apple won't let you assign via Keyboard preferences (home, end, forward delete, arrows). I even set up some customized menus or more complex actions (automate) with shortcut key triggers (e.g., creating a footer and inserting a file name and path in a word document with two keystrokes; opening itunes finding a radio station and begin streaming it live with two keystrokes). I'm sure that some of this can be done with automater or applescripts, but since I'm new to apple, I'm happy to start with this.
iKey does have one annoying feature that I discovered -- you can set keyboard shortcuts to operate in different contexts (e.g., Finder front, Safari not running) but you cannot use the same keyboard shortcut to launch different actions in mutually exclusive contexts.
By the way, I called Apple support about this question before I started playing with either of the programs. The person I talked to made a special call over to the OS X division and confirmed that forward delete cannot be assigned in user-defined keyboard shortcuts -- "yet." No one was clear if this capability might be developed in the future.
Thanks again for your help!

Custom Word 2010 Normal.dotm file not applying

I have replaced the Normal.dotm file with a file with out letterhead information on it. On some computers its not applying though. I saved the letterhead file as Normal.dotm and have replaced the Normal.dotm file on their computer but when they open Word
it still opens a blank document. If I replace it on my computer it loads the letterhead file and the same with other users. Its just a select few that ignore the new Normal.dotm file.
I can prove that the file has the letterhead text by renaming the file on their computer and then opening it. When I do this it opens with the letterhead text.
Free computer help and tips http://www.onlinecomputertips.com

A part of the problem you are seeing is that Word creates its own normal.dotm file when it can't find one where it is supposed to look.
Here is a link to the Microsoft take on sharing the normal template.
You Cannot Share the Normal.dot[m] File Among Multiple Users This is an older article but nothing it says has changed. That is how Word works. When I first was setting up a
LAN using Word, I tried sharing the normal template as well. It is intuitive to do so; but it does not work. The more users you have the more problems it can cause. It is likely that you have had problems with sharing normal.dotm but not recognized that the
problems were caused by that.
The normal template is intended to be a personal workspace/resource and should not be overwritten from a main source. It should be stored in the user templates folder (which also should not be a shared folder). You certainly can create a customized normal.dotm
template and distribute it as a starting point but there is little reason to do so.
Overwriting someone else's normal.dotm template is a bit like opening the drawers in their desk and rearranging them, tossing out items if you don't know their purpose. I learned long ago to not be going through my secretary's drawers!
If you want to standardize your documents you can do that with a combination of
Workgroup Templates and
Global Templates. Global templates will let you share custom building blocks, macros, ribbon and QAT modifications. You can even use them to share styles although usually that is better
done through document templates.
It is quite possible to have a different template than the normal template be the basis for the blank document you see when you start Word or for when you use Ctrl+N. There are examples of this on my downloads page.
