Tagging in Story Editor messing up Structure

I have an XML file that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MailItem attribute1="value1" attribute2="and so on...">
     <Mail_ID>12345</Mail_ID>
     <CustomerName>Mr. Bray</CustomerName>
     <Sale_Date>2015-02-24</Sale_Date>
     <AndOtherElementsToo>Which are not important right now</AndOtherElementsToo>
</MailItem>
It's important to note that this document will only ever have ONE <MailItem> (gauranteed), which makes it a root element. I've tried wrapping this in ANOTHER root element called <MailJob> but that caused problems too. More on that in a minute.
I have an InDesign Template that is very straightforward. No tables, nothing. I import my XML file into my TAGS panel and I go to town tagging various text placeholders with things like Mail_ID, and Sale_Date. I perform a test IMPORT XML and things look great. A minor annoyance is if the elements are not in the correct order in the STRUCTURE pane, they won't import correctly, but I can engineer around this by ensuring the elements are produced in a static order. So far so good.
The problem comes when I go to the "letter" part of my template. It begins, "Dear So And So," (literally). Since I want "So And So" to be the actual name from my data, I need to tag this. I open this up in the Story Editor (since I only want PART of the text replaced) and I select "So And So" and I select the CustomerName tag from my Tag panel.
What happens next is where the wheels come off the wagon and I am in desperate need of help. As SOON as I tag it, three things happen:
The tag appears in the Story Editor. Looks nice. No problem here
A new TAG appear in my TAG pane called "Story"
My Structure pane creates a new element called Story and nests a new element, CustomerName underneath it
When I perform a test import now, the greeting on the letter doesn't get replaced (the data doesn't import) because, duh, the structure doesn't match the data coming in. It's looking for <MailJob><Story><CustomerName>Mr. Bray</CustomerName></Story></MailJob> which I do not have in my XML file.
I learn that setting the Tag Preset Options allows me to change the "Story" default to any pre-existing tag. Great! This solves problem #2 above (the "Story" tag no longer gets created in my TAGS panel). But problem #3 still happens; My structure now looks like this:
MailItem
Mail_ID
CustomerName
Sale_Date
MailItem "Dear So And So,"CustomerName
Arg! All manners of attempting to drag and drop the new, nested CustomerName element to higher in the Structure results in the text being UNTAGGED in the placeholder and the process begins again when I try to fix it.
I thought for a moment that maybe tags embedded within the story editor need to live within a second-level element instead of right under the root element, so I wrapped the whole XML file in <MailJob> </MailJob> elements. This only proceeded to make it impossible to have normal one-to-one text placeholders import/replace correctly (even after I reloaded the tags in the TAGS panel from the newly wrapped file). I didn't even bother testing the within-Story-Editor tags since this is a deal breaker right off the bat.
I can't simply reformat the XML to match what InDesign is expecting because we have ONE xml format (and exporter) for hundreds of document layouts. I *really* don't want to applying XSLT for every quirky change the design group wants to make (e.g. "We want to suddenly start using the state name in the text of the letter, can you update the XSLT file?"), and besides, we run GIANT jobs (thousands of individual documents) and XSLT processing EACH XML file will slow things down more than I want (I've already got a slow process upstream I'm dealing with, I don't want to make it any slower)
I'm going crazy, the pressure is on, and I'm desperate for help. Why can't I get existing XML elements to import INSIDE of a placeholder (along with static text or other elements) the same way they do when I tag an entire placeholder? What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried underscoring your So_and_So text?
In any case, here's what I get.
Brining in the XML, I get:
Importing a new XML, I get:

Weird Tags in Story Editor Breaking HTML export

Some of my manuscript files will not export to html. After further exploration, we found that in story editor mode, there are weird arrow type characters around text (ie, superscript numbers or within references) that seem to be the problem. Once the characters are removed, the html exports fine.
Any ideas as to why these random special characters/tags show up only in the story editor mode and where they come from?

Here is what I am seeing in story editor mode. These tags don't show up in the normal layout or preview mode.

Looking to determine what causes these. Could it be leftover Microsoft Word Formating?

Cross Reference Sources appearing in Story Editor view but not appearing in the Cross Ref pane

I have imported a Word document containing working cross references into an InDesign document. The vast majority of these cross references import correctly and link to their destinations within the document, however there are some that are not working. If I view the text frame in the story editor view, I can see these "broken" cross reference sources that came in from the Word doc but on selecting them I can see that there isnt a corresponding entry for it in the cross reference pane. As said, there are only a few that are behaving like this.
What could be causing these not to appear in the cross reference pane?
Obviously as they are not appearing in the list of cross references I can't update them, and also, as they are technically broken cross references, because a source exists for them but there is no corresponding entry in the pane, then on export to epub, InDesign crashes (If there is one broken cross reference in a document, export to Epub will crash indesign).
Also, to clarify, in the Word doc if I navigate to a cross reference that is failing once in InDesign, I can update it properly, and also navigate to its destination in the Word doc, so it's not as though these cross references are broken before coming into InDesign. Also I believe the destinations for these "broken" cross references are coming across properly to indesign too as I can see them in the story editor view.
Supposed Cross Reference source selected in Story Editor view on left, but no corresponding cross reference highlighted in pane on right:
Technical Details:
InDesign CS5.5 - Version 7.5.3
Microsoft Word 2010, File type .docx

I have found the possible cause of this problem!
If a table is used within the Word document somewhere between where the cross reference source is and its destination then that particular cross reference will be broken as described above in my initial post.
So the "fix" is to remove any occurances of a table in the Word document and the cross references come into InDesign perfectly. This is actually not a fix at all. I need to use tables in the Word document for layout purposes so if they break cross references if they stand between them and their destinations then I have to compromise, i.e. use tables but with no cross references in the document or vice versa.
I found a similar issue recently with index markers in Word causing a shift on the cross reference tags when bought into InDesign. The "fix" again for that was to remove all index markers from the Word document. See post about this here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1043981
InDesign really needs to sort out the issues with importing of Word documents with cross references in them. If I can't use index markers and tables in a Word document without breaking its cross references then they can't claim to have the ability to import a Word document while maintaining its cross references into an InDesign document. It just doesnt work as ive painstakingly proven.

How to edit multiple text boxes (not linked/chained) in story editor?

I don't have a book with running text, but lots of pages (70) with separate text boxes on each page plus some captions. It is a design for exhibition panels.
It is really painful to proof read. And taking a print for all these pages to proof read is a waste! Is there no way I can see "all" the text in a view, one by one (without selecting the text boxes on each page) to simply review and edit the text? Is the story editor so basic? (I don't see any options or functions in the story editor window!)

No way I know of in InDesign but what you could do is export all the content to an InCopy assignment. Open the assignment in InCopy and then check it out. That will give you all the stories to edit in Galley, Story or Layout view.
InCopy is a part of Creative Cloud. If you're on something earlier, there's little else I can offer unless you happen to be on CS6 since InCopy CS6 can still be purchased.

Story Editor greyed out and won't scroll in Indesign 5.5

I have a document that I edited in track changes a month ago. When I open it now, the "Edit in Story Editor" in the edit tab is greyed out. How can I open the story editor panel to see the changes??
I am running Indesign 5.5 on Vista x64.

I've never needed to work with Track Changes, so I don't know if it's likely to be any part of the cause, but in gneral, when some part of the program stops working as expected, it's either user error, a bug, or currupt preferences. I can't help with the first two, but here's a link to how to fix bad prefs: Replace Your Preferences
Also, be sure you've installed the 7.5.2 patch.

Weird problem with ToC/Story Editor

Hi all,
I write the documentation for a software package. Recently the package has had two new add-ons that require their own manuals, so I reused my original doc and cleared it out to use for the new packages. All good so far until I want to do the ToC. In the original docs, each bit is split into its own story editor, but with the new manuals everything is all in one story and I think that is causing problems with the ToC because sometimes I'll get sections with nothing in them while other Sections have too many subsections. I've been through and checked my styles, but the only way around it right now is to view the ToC in the Story Editor and drag/drop the subsections to the right places. Right now these new manuals are not even 30 pages each, with four or five sections but this is not a tenable situation. I use InDesign 5.5 under Windows. Anyone got any idea? Obviously more detail can be provided.
Thanks in advance,
B

It looks the same and all the text is still in one Story. Can I split stories?

Story Editor bug

Hi.
I'm currently experience a bug in story editor that is making it very hard to edit text effectively.
The Story Editor works fine for a short while (maybe five minutes, sometimes a little longer), but then does odd things when selecting text. If I try to highlight a line of text by using Shift+DownArrow, the cursor jumps to the beginning of the story. If I try to move the cursor right with the RightArrow, the cursor doesn't move. Up, Left and Down appear to work okay, and moves the cursor in the appropriate direction. Any combination of shift or command or option with an arrow key does the same thing – moves the cursor to the start of the story.
This behaviour sticks across closing / reopening the Story Editor, and, as I almost exclusively use the keyboard to control InDesign when editing books, I have to quit InDesign and relaunch to get things back to normal: a big pain and a time waster.
Interestingly, perhaps, this behaviour only affects a single document; if I have a number of book files open, only one of them will be affected. To clarify, it's not just one InDesign file that shows this behaviour, but only one open file. It happens with different files at different times, but only a single file at a time, regardless of how many are open simultaneously.
A few of my colleagues, who also use InDesign CC on their Macs for editing, also have the same issue. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue, or have any idea of what could be causing it?

Can you please send a snapshot of story with the mentioned issue? You can send it to DL-AdobeStory-support<at>adobe<dot>com.
Also are you facing this issue for a particular project or for all the projects?
Thanks

How to USE Display Tag in my jsp pageInMy JDBC program in NetBeans 5

I want my program 2 fetch Data from the database and display in the nice format provided by the Display Tags.. I have simple JSP pages, without using any Beans. I m running netBeans 5.
What is the Solution to display my Table data in JSP display Tags facility.
reply soon ...
tht help me a lot

Hello,
I am not sure how far you got with this display tag. I had issues added the displaytag lib and the dependencies to my library. On the right-hand side of Netbeans, under Project, under the war directory of the application, I was able to add the libraries to my project. It stop some errors I have been having for so long.
Still, I am not able to display my data using display. How far this you did with this project? Have you resolve the problem so far. I know it's been a long time.
Thanks

Using display tag library

Hi,
I am new to JSP. I am using display-tags for pagination purpose. I have checkboxes for each row. When I select some rows and go to next page and come back to the old page, the status of selected rows is lost. Is there any way to store the status of selected rows when I navigate to other pages? I am using struts framework.
Another question, can I use javascript along with the display-tag? If I can, then how can I use it.
Is there any other tags for pagination, that may solve my problem?
Regards
--Vaishakh

Can you please tell me how did you pass it thru session?
What I mean is, when the user clicks on the next page, control is not transferred to our code (which would have allowed me to store selected items in session), instead the displaytag code is being called behind the scenes.
Thanks.

Sort in Display Tag

Hi,
I am using display Tag to paginate a table. I am sorting the columns in the table by giving
Sort="list" in display:table and
sortable="true" in display:column
Now i am facing problems in sorting a few columns as the values in the columns are numbers like Date (DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS) and not string.
How can these be sorted?
Please help,
Thank you.

If it's the same display:table component I'm thinking of, then....
If the actual object is a Comparable object (like Date) then it can be.
Otherwise, there is a column attribute called sortByProperty, whereby you can create a method in a decorator class for this property that should return a Comparable object that will be used...
<display:column property="prop" title="title" sort="true" sortByProperty="comparable" />
     public Comparable getComparable() {
          // create some Comparable object, maybe a string representation of the object for the column
          // or some other object that implements that interface....
     }

Hi ,
I am trying to do the same but I have no success.

It seems to that display tags are not parsed...
Do zou have an idea?

Need Adobe Plugin that creates a view like 'story editor' but with text formatting

We would ideally like a third view in InDesign (other than the layout and story editor views) that behaves like MS Word's 'Normal View' ie. a long 'roll' of text like the story editor (no page breaks viewable) but with the text retaining its formatting (like layout view). Ideally anchored images would also be visible. This feature would be very helpful for us when working on long documents such as books when both content and layout is done from within InDesign. Does anyone know if a Plug-in like this exists? If not, would it be difficult for an InDesign developer to create such a plugin?
Many thanks for your assistance! Heulwen

so odd, really. just because sometimes workflow separates copy writers and stylists -- sometimes -- it's one person.
so just to write a document - and edit it normally - you need to use two applications?
how does that make sense?
i understand making it *possible* to separate content and style -- but forcing everyone to do so -- even publishers of regular ole multi-page documents -- i mean -- why?
why does it make sense to force people into such a workflow -- where you cannot even edit your whole document?
oh -- but you can -- but you have to use a separate application?
how does that make sense?
weren't we able to do this in, what was it called: pagemaker?
