Global format changes

I'm using a fairly well-developed template that I am modifying for my own use. There are dozens of sheets that need to look the same, but they are all, naturally, formatted in the same way that came with the template:
And I want it to look like this, and wondering if there's a fast way to move all of the formatting from one table to another? Duplicate isn't an option because each table is loaded with links to other sheets or tables that would be extremely tedious to double-check. Ideas?

As I often wrote, it's important to think before typing.
Now, you will have to make the changes by hand.
If you send a sample of the wanted format to my mailbox, I will try to build a script applying numerous attributes automatically but I'm not sure that it will be able to apply every changes.

Format changing when IDCS3 file exported to PDF

I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options, we are required to do it this way where I work), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least. Many of these are also multi-line and not using the indents means we have to manually tab lines over.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?
I tried posting in the Acrobat forums and it was suggested since it's an export issue that I might get more help from the InDesign folks.

Given that the file is being exported to PDF and not going via a driver route, there really is no reason why changing the default printer should make a difference whatsoever in this particular case. Changing default drivers in Microsoft Office applications, yes, but for this situation, no. And since Acrobat doesn't change formatting, the issue sounds like some problem associated with InDesign. Please report this problem directly to Adobe Tech Support and be prepared to send them sample files. Thanks!

I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

LE7:Score Layout:Global Format:Maximum Bars per Line - Line Break Bug!

Hello
This problem occurs in Logic Express version 7.
(I am using MacOS version 10.4.2 on an eMac)
I am currently compiling and editing a large score for a big band composition consisting of 22 parts:
Flute 1
Flute 2
Clarinet 1
Clarinet 2
Alto Sax 1
Alto Sax 2
Tenor Sax 1
Tenor Sax 2
Baritone Sax
Trombone 1
Trombone 2
Trombone 3
Trombone 4
Trumpet 1
Trumpet 2
Trumpet 3
Trumpet 4
Guitar
Keyboard
Electric Bass
Percussion 1 (Kit)
Percussion 2 (Aux)
I am creating the score in a separate file, and I am combining parts into 1 stave each by instrument like this:
Flute 1 & 2
Clarinet 1 & 2
Alto Sax 1 & 2
Tenor Sax 1 & 2
Baritone Sax
Trombone 1 - 4
Trumpet 1 - 4
Guitar
Keyboard (2 staves)
Bass
Percussion
Each instrument, with the exception of keyboard which has 2 staves, consists of one stave, making up systems of twelve staves each. By sizing down each score style to 2,
I have managed to fit 2 systems onto each page, therefore significantly reducing the amount of paper needed.
The problem comes when organising the layout of my score,
in particular, the line breaks. Using layout:global format, I have limited the maximum number of bars per line to 8, both in the page edit and normal score mode.
I am trying to divide up my score so that there are 8 bars per system. Using the white arrow tool, I am dragging bars up and down in order to achieve this.
However, when I get 30 odd bars in, I discover a system with 12 bars crammed into it - and even printing it off, it is clear that the system could benefit with less bars; the notation is squashed up together and not very easy to read.
THIS IS THE ACTUAL PROBLEM:
So I tried using the white arrow to move the last 4 bars down onto the next system, and a bug occurs where I end up with about 20 bars on the system, oddly distorted, the first few bars of which are squashed up together at the beginning of the line, and the last bar of which is stretched far off the right hand side of the page out of view. Then the next 20 or so bars are no where to be seen (probably far off the right hand side of the page) before the system below.
If you dont know what I am talking about, I could provide a screenshot if you request.
I have tried everything to get 8 bars on that particular system; dragging the stretched bar downwards, dragging squashed bars downward, moving bars down 1 by 1, moving bars onto the system above, moving bars away from the system below (to make room for the 4 bars that I want to move from above), adding more bars and dragging them down, but none of these methods have worked. I am either stuck with 12 bars crammed onto one system and 4 bars on the next or an oddly distorted version of the system which cannot possibly be read. Even when I settle with the unsatistactory former, I encounter further problems on subsequent systems below, some systems of which are already distorted.
All I want is to have 8 bars per system, it should not be too much to ask! The layout:global format:maximum-bars-per-line calculation seems to be redundant, even when I reset the default line breaks - it just does not automatically set 8 bars per line, which it should do. Is there not an option to determine bars individually by number onto their respective lines, without having to use the white arrow graphic layout tool?
The problem is extremely frustrating, and it is preventing me from completing, presenting and handing in a score for my university music composition.
I have no other score producing software, and starting it
from scratch on paper is going to take me weeks, because it consists of 830 12/8 bars in 22 parts, and I need to get it ready by next term!
Any help would be extremely helpful and much appreciated, especially a patch or a useful way round. It could be related to memory, or hard drive space, as I have experienced similar problems in the past, where my score has been stretched off the page during a time when I have had little disk space...and this is a very large piece of music which might stretch the score capabilities of Logic.
If so, has anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks!

nope just cutting should work.
here are some things to try:
1. try assigning a different score style. for the regions. duplicate and then adjust the default ones if necessary.
2. try creating a new instrument set. in fact delete them and make a new one (use the key command: create instrument set from selected)
3. it may be a formatting problem so check:
in global layout constant spacing (try 8 or 9) and proportional spacing (try 45 or so). then try factory defaults.
4. try copying and pasting the midi into a brand new region and looking at the score for that.
5. try fiddling with the layout tool drqagging bars up or down.
normally simply cutting the region of just one object is enough to force a redraw. maybe try it on all of the regions. what happens when you double click on a region?

Is there a way to do a global font change in iWeb '09?

Hi,
I inherited a web site, created in iWeb '09. I've got the site files on my Mac ... when I start iWeb,
and select a page to edit, it complains:
The following errors occurred while trying to open this page:
Missing Font TrajanPro-Regular
Missing Font TrajanPro-Bold
Missing Font HelveticaNeue-Roman
Many (most or all) pages in the web site need these three fonts.
Thru googling, I know that those three fonts are proprietary fonts that I could purchase.
However, it seems silly to buy and install a font when the web server and end-user's
browser won't have it (and will therefore get substituted at their end).
Therefore, I think that my best choice is to change all uses of those fonts in the web site to
be uses of some "standard web fonts".
So, how do I do a global font change or substitution in iWeb '09? It seems like an awfully
obvious thing to want to do. (Finding each instance of use and manually selecting the text
and doing a font change is simply not feasible.)
(E.g.: Change "HelveticeNeue-Roman" to "Helvetica Regular")
thanks,
Stan

There is no way to do what you want. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback.iweb.html.

Date format changes in the middle of a program execution

In my C code I have a series of select statements.
When I first get a session to the database I use the following command to set the date format
alter session set nls_date_format = 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
It works fine for a few queries. After a while during the program execution I see that the date format changes to 'DD-MON-YY' format. This results in a series of error in my code because I expect the date format to always be in the 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' format.
Any idea why the date format should change all of a sudden in the middle of the program execution.

I second the idea that you should always use TO_DATE and TO_CHAR if you want to reliably convert between dates and strings.
Without seeing your code, it is hard to say why your date format is changing, but the most likely reason is that you are changing users somewhere in the code. For example:
SQL> show user
USER is "OPS$ORACLE"
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='dd-Mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
Session altered.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-Jul-2003 10:15:12
SQL> connect jtest/test
Connected.
SQL> SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
SYSDATE
11-JUL-2003TTFN

I have created a resume on Word and every time I try to send it to myself through Gmail, the format changes. This happens with other documents as well. How do I fix this?

I have a MacBook Pro. Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Processor speed 2.3 GHx Intel Core i5. Memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
I have created a resume on Word and every time I try to send this document through Gmail, the format changes. This has happened since I have owned this computer but this time, I really need this to work. This happens when I send other documents as well. How can I fix this?

Thank you! I have answered my own question

Is it possible to do a GLOBAL color change for both text and graphics in ACrobat XI?

I used to do this using the Pitstop Pro plugin but now Pitstop is almost $900 and this is the only thing that I would use it for, not worth the investment
I can change text color by selecting individual text items, but I want to change all of the red text into white text
I also need to change all of the red graphics into white graphics and I can't figure out how to do that either
I have a trial version of XI on a Mac and will buy it if it can do what I am trying to do, i.e. global color changes to both text and graphics
thanks!!

I have version 6, but it is way out of date, doesn't work on my current system, I downloaded a trial version of the new one, version 12 I think, now I have to decide if I can afford to buy it, it is not cheap!
oops, sorry, I didn't read your entire message, aargh!
I'll check with them if I can upgrade from this early version, thanks for the suggestion!

Format Changes In Chart Anlyzer Not Saved

Post Author: Ray Brack
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I have created a vertical bar chart in CR v8.5 and have made several formatting changes using Chart Analyzer, changed the height of the graph, fonts, font rotation, etc. However after saving the changes and previewing the report most of the changes are lost. Furthermore those changes that did stick are limited to a single graph, the remaining graphs within the group retain the original settings.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem or is charting in CR v8.5 as flaky as it seems?
Thanks in advance...

Post Author: Ray Brack

In case anyone else comes across this problem:
1) After making the changes right-click the chart in Analyzer and select "Apply changes to all charts"
2) Right-click the chart again and select "Save as template"

CONTACT NAMES NOT DISPLAYING & TIME FORMAT CHANGING AFTER SYNC

i live in kuwait and i was just gifted an officially unlocked 3g iphone from new zealand. i upgraded to 2.1. i have 2 problems
1. i have synced my contacts from address book. the format that it is stored in is +965XXXXXX. 965 is the country code for kuwait and all numbers in kuwait are of 7 digits. there is no area code as this is a small country. when someone calls me their name does not appear. only the number appears
2. i have set the time format on the iphone to the 24 hour format but every time i sync with my macbook the time format changes to 12 hour format.

Follow this procedure to get your contacts back (I assume they are on your Mac/PC):
1. Go to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars
2. Select your account which has the contacts you wish to sync
3. Turn syncing for Contacts to "Off". This will bring up a box telling you your iPhone is turning off Contacts. My iPhone actually hung at this stage, so after several minutes, I performed a hard restart (holding down Home and power buttons for 5 sec.)
4. Exit from Settings
5. Go to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars
6. Select your account which has the contacts you wish to sync
7. Turn syncing for Contacts to "On". This should restore your contacts
8. Go to Contacts to verify. They initially may not appear or just show up as numbers for a second or two, but then your contacts should appear.

Why effective PPI format change?

Hello there!
The effective ppi format change to "effective resolution", like 2356x1678px. I want back to real ppi, like 370ppi. How do i get back?

Since I notice in your screen shot that you have two different images with non-proportional scaling, I might point out that you can use InDesign's Preflight panel to search for such images. In the IMAGES and OBJECTS section of the Preflight Profiles dialog box, check "Non-Proportional Scaling of Placed Object" in your preflight profile.

CF 8 - pdf format changes with page count

when crating a cfdocument as pdf format when we create a
document approx. 500 pages or less everything is fine. when we go
over that number the font size and some formatting changes. we are
at a complete loss as to why this happening as we have checked and
rechecked every option possible. even going as far as scaling the
report down to only 1 or 2 lines. very bizarre. any thoughts on why
this is or a direction to troubleshoot this would be great. thanks
-Ralph

I'm not sure if this helps, but we've noticed formatting changes when the PDF writer considers the items in the cfdocument page too big for the layout (fonts resizing, inconsistent styling, etc). We shrunk our content down (especially images) to make sure everything fit on screen. also, if you are using images, make sure you are placing images in the cfdocument at the same height/width as the actual image file.
Not sure how helpful that's going to be - sounds like your issue is more about raw file size than anything else, but thought I would mention it.

I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel. When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes. How do I fix this?

If you plan to share or work with people who regulary use MS Excel you should not try to use this in Numbers. You will have constant problems with how each program translates the formatting.
If you want to use Numbers, use it exclusively. If it is for your job use the tool your company uses.

Format changes from one computer to another.....how come?

Just bought a new laptop.......I have been doing all my editing on the computer at home without a problem......all clips are saved in MPEG and everything works fine.....(ultimately posting them all on YouTube). As I needed to get a new laptop anyway, I set it up so it would have plenty of giddyup to work on videos away from home. When I copy the folder containing the video clips (all in MPEG) on the desktop at home and then copy the folder to the desktop on the new laptop, the clips have changed from MPEG to MOD format........This results in an error message when I try to preview the clip (in Windows Media Player) about being unable to find the app that created the clip......I can click "try it anyway" and the video will play but minus the audio. I do all my previewing in Media Player to go through the clips quickly to sort out what I want to keep and what to toss out.
Why would the format change from MPEG to MOD when I copy the files from desktop at home to laptop?....anyone have any ideas?.....is there a phone number at Adobe that anyone knows of with a human on the other end that may be able to answer if I can figure it out here. Thanks for any suggestions.

Welcome to the forum.
Now,
When I copy the folder containing the video clips (all in MPEG) on the desktop at home and then copy the folder to the desktop on the new laptop, the clips have changed from MPEG to MOD format
This is a new one to me. I have never seen any version of Windows that would change the file extension of any file copied, regardless of whether it was over a network, or to a new drive/folder.
Now, with the JVC cameras, their files are MOD and TOD (for HD material). Could you have copied the wrong folder? Otherwise, something really odd is going on. Could it be that you thought that you had copied a certain folder and actually got one with the same file names, but at the original level, when they were still .MOD?
Good luck,
Hunt
