Formatting a list

Hi everyone,
I need help special-formatting a list of names and info. The general format will look like this:
Name
title
organization
email
website
I usually give each element a unique paragraph style, then link them all via "next style".
This usually works great. However, some people will not have websites or even e-mail addresses....which will screw up the "next style" formatting. Is there any way to get around this?
Thanks,
gmannib

No, "Next Style" does 'Exactly What It Says On The Tin'. It does not "know" if you are applying the styles to an email address, or a web site address, or to the first paragraph of your autobiography.
You could create duplicates of your first paragraph style and of all the "next" ones linked to that, with different "next style" orders.

Finder date format in List View

I want to tell Finder NOT to display the day of the week or the spelling of the month in the date columns when it is in List View.
I want this exactly, and nothing else:
mm/dd/yyyy 12:30
I want the month and day to always use two digits. It just think it looks better when a column of data is all formatted the same exact way. And, I don't need to know that 04/17/01 was a Thursday (or whatever it was)!
I know you can resize the columns to get various amounts of info and formats, but that's too much effort, plus you get all these weird ",..." filler garbage. Let's just make it simple!!!

I think the width of the column is the sole determinant of the date format shown in list views. I use an applescript to set the size, position and column width of Finder windows to my preferred specs; it sets the date column width so that a shorter (but not shortest) date format is used (because I'm picky about that, too ). You can easily tinker with the numbers so the sizing suits your own preferences.
-- works on frontmost Finder window;
-- settings appropriate for display res 1440x900
<code>
tell application "Finder"
set bounds of window 1 to {230, 120, 1260, 820}
set sidebar width of window 1 to 200
set width of column name column of list view options of window 1 to 280
set width of column modification date column of list view options of window 1 to 180
set width of column size column of list view options of window 1 to 100
set width of column kind column of list view options of window 1 to 180
end tell
</code>
Instructions for saving scripts in case you or other readers need them: Copy and paste the above into a new Script Editor document (or highlight and use the Services -> Script Editor menu). Save as file format: Script at this path -- ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Finder/ -- creating any folders that don't already exist. You can change the numbers in the script and use the Run button in the Script Editor toolbar to test until you get something you're happy with.

How do I format bullet lists in the Notes tab?

I have a transcript of the audio narration in the Notes section of my source PowerPoint slides. When I publish with Adobe Presenter, these transcripts appear in the Notes tab in the published course. However, when I publish my course, any bullet lists that I may have formatted in the Notes view in PowerPoint, do not format correctly in the published course. The text of the bullets is there, but the bullet formatting is missing.
I am using Adobe Presenter 8, PowerPoint 2007, and I'm running on Windows 7 Professional. I have tried saving my PowerPoint file in the PPTX format and in the older PPT format. Neither retains the bullet-list formatting in the published course.
Is there a trick to getting lists to format correctly in the Notes tab?

X2008 Bugs and formatting wish list

Post Author: solver
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
I have been testing out the X2008 trial version for a few days now. I found it more efficient to use than 4.5, but I've encountered two bugs (or maybe these are simply default settings I need to change somewhere, either in excel or in xcelsius):- sorting numbers in the columns of a List View component is done based on a string sequence, not the based on the numerical value (e.g. 9 is considered higher on the list than 19)- Cell values that are set to BLANK with a formula in excel (e.g. if(A1=3,2,"") ) are interpreted correctly as missing values in the line plot on the canvas, but show up as 0 values in the .swf file. (I've tried using NA() instead of "", but that's not recognized by X2008)Both of these bugs are substantial, because they interfere with the fundamental message the dashboard is supposed to convey. Please let me know if there is any way of working around these for now, so that I can show some prototype dashboards to colleagues.I've also run into two formatting limitations that can generally be handled with some working around, but expanded formatting capabilities would be nice to have: - ability to format individual columns of a List View component- more shapes and drawing options so I can set up a context diagrams for the elements of the dashboardCheers,solver

(I've tried using NA() instead of "", but that's not recognized by X2008) Note: the full lookup formulas I use are =IF(INDEX(I12:I57,'Display Parameters'!$F$37)<>"",INDEX(I12:I57,'Display Parameters'!$F$37)*$D$4,""). These worked fine in 4.5, and look correct on the canvas in X2008. However, at runtime all of the "" cells are replaced by 0.solver

How to format a list of addresses in Address book

I frequently have lists of email addresses that I want to use to send emails to multiple people without setting up cards for each one in Address book. I cannot find a format for the list that works. The last person in the list always generates an error in Mail. What character do you terminate the list with to avoid this problem? I know that no character, comma and period do not work.

And if you iTunes menu View > View options and select the columns you want, only the info in those columns will get copied.

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates?
If not, please do so.
You have not given us enough information with which to help you.

the file?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1? Are you running the programs as
administrator?
Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?

Formatting a list in Notes

If I put a dash and press the spacebar in Notes it automagically turns it into a list of items, which is great. But sometimes it randomly turns the dashes into bullet points. Especially if I copy/paste a large portion of items to another part of the note, they'll all turn into dots. This means I end up with parts of a note being in dots and other parts using dashes. What causes the switching between dots and dashes? Is it possible to reformat what type of bulletpoints they are so I can make them all uniform?

No, "Next Style" does 'Exactly What It Says On The Tin'. It does not "know" if you are applying the styles to an email address, or a web site address, or to the first paragraph of your autobiography.

Need help to change format of list box

I am very new to LIve Cycle Designer and I am trying to create a list box where users can select multiple items and their selections will show up not in a horizontal list form, but as a vertical running list like a sentence with commas separating the list of items selected. Anyone know how to do this?

As best I can tell there is no option to have a list/dropdown accept multiple selections by default.
One way to accomplish your goal would be to capture each selection using a validate or exit event script, then populating another text field or multiple text fields with the list of selections delimited by commas.

Bookmarks have changed their format to lists of print only

How to format bullet lists

So that bullets stand out visually, I prefer bullet lists indented, not flush with the existing paragraphs. Is there a way to modify bullet settings to automatically appear like the following?
Appreciated.

On the Text panel, follow this screen shot for settings. You will want an after paragraph setting of 6 or 9 pt before you press return to start your bullets. That will give you a nice vertical standoff. You will want this after paragraph setting for each bullet item so that they too, have some breathing space. Tune the list indent, and text spacing from the bullet to your taste. When you have finished with the list, you may wish to set the after paragraph to 0 to resume normal sentence line space.

Outline format for lists

I am trying to get the 2nd tier of a numbered list to use
lower-case alpha.
It seemed easy enough with CSS
ol ol{
list-style-type:lower-alpha;
but it seems to resort to default bullets.
Any suggestions?

More formatting (ordered lists)

I want to create an ordered list with some instructions for the Adobe Reader forum (thanks to Ankit_Jain for the original instructions):
Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b
Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start -> Run and type cmd and click OK)
In the Command Prompt window, type in or copy/paste the following commands:
cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)

That worked well, actually as expected. In the original forum it did not work when I used <ol type="i"> for the sub-list, as below; the forum changed it to the default arabic numerals:
Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b
Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Start | Run, type cmd and click OK)
In the Command Prompt window, type in or copy/paste the following commands:
cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
P.S. now it changed it to "a." and "b." instead of "i." and "ii."...

Is there any way where in I can use something similar to "set pause on" of sqllpus within rman.
One way I am achieveing this is by using cmdfile and logfile option in whicle connecting. But its not that feasible to write command file for each and every command.
Pls advise...

You can try this to run the rman command and also you can have the options what you are looking for.

File format extensions list for FCP 6

I'm somewhat new to FCP, I'm using FCP 6, and I have a client who knows next to nothing about video formats on a computer. I've looked through the manuals and still can't find an answer to this question. I know what formats FCP can import, but what are the file extensions (.AVI, .MOV, etc) that FCP supports? This is the one piece of info that makes sense to this client.

FCP uses quicktime files with the extension .MOV
Files with the extension .AVI, mpeg4, mpeg2 need to be converted. Compressor or MPEG Streamclip can do conversions for you if you need.

MS Word not in list of supported formats to combine into single PDF

Just upgraded to Acrobat X, Windows 7, and Office 10. Selected Combine Files into PDF, then Add Filesin order to combine Word & Excel files into single PDF, which I've done many times and is my main use for AA. AA didn't recognize any Word files (either 2003 or 2010), and no Word file formats are listed in "All Supported Formats" drop down list. What's up?

Thanks so much. I'll check this out.
