Header & footer margins need to be different from body margins

I am writing a paper that will be printed double-sided, using mirror margins.
The paper must include sidebar information such as call outs and comments that will be used by the reader to navigate the document quickly to specific information and to be directed to other parts of the document.
To provide the space for the side bar, I want to restrict the body text to a 4 inch wide area. I want to use text frames to add in sidebar items later.
The sidebar area must always be oriented toward the outside of the page.
I will need to revise the document over time, both for the initial publication and for later versions. This includes incorporating graphics into the 4 inch wide body content.
I want the header and footer to span the entire width of the page, across both the sidebar area and the body text.
I have attempted to accomplish the above by using page styles, with mirroring and the use of conventional-width margins and headers and footers, and then restricting the width of the body text by inserting styles. However, Writer does not mirror the section indentations. Because of this, I have to manually add a new section at the start of each page. When it comes time to revise or add graphics, this will be an unbelievable nightmare because "pagination" will be thrown completely out of whack. It will be unmanageable.
The format I need is pretty common for instructional material.
Is there a way, or an add-on, to allow wider margins for the header and footer, while mirroring an indentation for body text?

I have come up with a solution to the problem...it isn't all that elegant, but it works: I am putting a blank white image into the document, positioned to make the body text wrap around it and then positioning text frames over the blank white image as necessary, anchored to the paragraphs in the body text. In order for this solution to work, it is necessary to anchor the white image to the page itself and manipulate positioning and/or spacing parameters to position it just right to force the proper wrap behavior.
Still, if it were possible to give the headers and footers wider margins than the body text, none of this workaround would be necessary....

Excel-Export WAD 7.0 - Header/Footer/Margins

Dear all,
I used the Header/Footer and Margin options in the export wizard (export to excel) but it doesn't work. When I print the excel file no header/footer information are shown. as well as the margin settings of the printed page are not as I entered.
I know that I should use the pdf-export (it works fine), nevertheless the customer wants to have a "formatted printing" even out of a generated excel-file.
Any ideas?
Or do the input options regarding header/footer and so on only refer to the pdf-export?
Thanks in advance.
Mark

Dear Mark,
Unfortunately Excel exporting is not designed for such purposes. The only option you have is to specify which web items are to be exported (using the Export to Excel button with the standard command). In case you want to export from the context menu, it will send to Excel everything which is on the screen, so, no way to control.
You could consider a workbook for a better formatted Excel, if really needed.
Kind Regards,
Marcio

Need to modify header & footer of all Word documents in a SharePoint library

We have lots of Word documents in a library where we need to adjust all of the documents' header region's distance from top of page. (A standard setting under the Header & Footer tab in Word). Since we wouldn't want to do this manually for all these
docs, I am looking for a solution to update these by running a script or something. Any way of doing this by Powershell, or other suggestions?
Henning

I am having trouble getting the script to do it's thing. I seem to have gotten it to run through the right document library, but it fails right at the start. Seems to me that it can't get to load the template file to get the header of the template. Can you
see what the problem is from the log? I included the initial errors from start to opening the first file in the library.

Header Margins Different than Body of Document

I'm trying to create a document (a template, actually) where the desire is to have the header and footer margins be smaller on both the right and left sides (i.e., they are wider, spanning more of the page). It seems like the default behavior or Pages is to align the header and footer margins to the document body margins. I can't seem to find a solution and any help is appreciated. Oh Yes, I want the different margins to persist throughout the document.

Rerunner,
Sure, you can have different margins, and it's easy to do. Just put your cursor in the header, then adjust the margin sliders in the ruler. Click in the text area and you'll see the that those margins are unaffected by the change. Now do the same thing with the footer. Insert a page break and you'll see that the header margins on page 2 are the same as page 1.
Is this what you're looking for?

How do I reset margins & header/footer?

I wanted to extend the printing margins so I could get more printout from a map. I left all the Headers & Footers options "blank" hoping this would do it. Instead I get nothing. I can't print anything online - it's all blank. How can I reset the page setup? Even the Page Setup/Margins & Header/Footer page is blank! HELP!

I think you might be opening your Pdf document in Adobe Reader. If you try open your pdf document in Adobe Standard and check again as far as your option are concerned you should be able to do that.

FF 6 "Page Setup" missing "Format & Options" and "Margins & Header/Footer" tabs

Running 6.0.1 or 6.0.2 on FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE when I select File->Page Setup the standard popup window no longer has tabs for "Format & Options" and "Margins & Header/Footer" that I see on Windows XP when running 6.0.2 - this would be okay were it not for the fact that printing (using CUPS on FreeBSD) no longer prints the headers and footers (which I see just fine when I do Print Preview) something in FF 6.x has regressed and is affecting Page Setup.

Yep, this I know. And have long since done this (probably before FireFox was called Mozilla). In fact my margins are set the way I want them (and have been unchanged for years - at least since 2006). That was the first thing I checked.
The fact is ever since I upgrated to 6.01 from 5.x (which was a few weeks ago) my printing from FF6 has not included the footers and headers. As I've said, I can see my footers and headers when I perform Print Preview, but they do not appear on the printed page(s), I truly believe this is changed behaviour due to the upgrade to FF6. Next week I will try a screen capture of my Print Preview to include an image for the "Add images:" feature when posting a reply, but I don't know how to show the physical printed page lacking those same headers and footers short of shooting a photograph with a macro lens and including that as an image. Therefore for now, you will just have to take my word for the fact of missing footers and headers. Also, next week I would be able to post here my about:config settings for the margin preferences which I assure you have remained unchanged for several years. FWIW, printing from Opera 11.11 to the same printer from the same workstation where FF6 is running does include my footers and headers. To my thinking this fairly much puts the blame for this problem on FF6. Thanks.

Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent

Is there a way to change the color of the Bezier Curves and points to a different color other than black I find it perplexing while setting points and curves working on a photo that needs to be separated from it's background for placement on transparent backgrounds. Any thoughts?

Yes. Well, sort of: instead of a "path", set the pen tool to "shape" in the tool properties. Then set the fill colour to transparent, and the stroke colour to the colour you want. You can also set the stroke width.
Not perfect, but at least you can see the path more clearly - the anchor points and handles still remain the default colour. Open the path panel, and right-mouse click the path shape to create a selection based on that shape. The Paths panel menu also allows you to create work paths based on that shape.
Unfortunately when you try to move the handles the black thin outline appears again until you release the mouse button.
This is one of several things that works better in Photoline: in Photoline, once the path is set to a specific colour, editing the path uses the actual colour and stroke width. which is extremely handy for creating path based selection with awkward background colours and/or a high resolution screen. In Photoline the handles and bezier points are also much, much larger, which makes it rather simpler to work with as well - especially on a higher resolution screen. And when selected the handles and points are a clear red with a black outline - again easier to spot and identify. I just works better, in my opinion.

Need to return data from a query in different ways - Please help

We are using 10g R2
I have a proc as follows that has a query with over 100 values in the select clause:
proc one( input param1, input_param2,.... output_cursor )
as
begin
open cursor for
select ...about 100 values with most of them being calculated
from table1, view 1, table2, table 3, view 2 ...
where ....
and table1.col1 = input param1
and table1.col2 = input param 2
and view1.col5 = input param5...
end;
I need to return the data that comes from the above query in different formats, columns for a report would be different from columns for screen A and different for screen B. I need only certain columns for a report and different set of columns for another screen. I have wrapper procs that get different input params. From the wrapper procs I intend to call the above proc but would like only selected values.
How can I accomplish this? Since my main goal is to select different columns for each wrapper I was thinking of insert the data from the above proc into global temp table and selecting whatever columns and order I want from the wrappers.
What do you think? Any other solutions?
Thanks
Edited by: user565033 on Jan 21, 2013 7:50 PM

You need to clearly separate roles and responsibilities. The PL/SQL code that creates and supplies a cursor handle is server code tasked to supply data. The code that makes the call for server data, is responsible for formatting and rendering that data.
Thus moving data formatting into the server code needs to be question. Simple example. Cursor does not return invoice date as a date - but formats it into a string using TO_CHAR().
This works for client1 - as that is the date format expected. However, client2 has different International settings and specifies a different date format. Invoice date, formatted into a string by the server, now renders in the wrong format on client2.
Server code should not be concerned with rendering and formatting of data send to a client.
As for the idea to use a global temp table is ..., well to put it nicely, it smells. Badly.
The single most expensive operation on a database platform is I/O. And now you want to read server data and write it to temporary storage, and the read data from temporary storage to return to the client? What on earth for!? Why purposefully increase the size of the I/O workload? Why decrease performance and undermine scalability?
Provide a proper abstraction interface to the client. Enable it to specify (as simplistically as possible) what it wants ito data. There are a number of ways to design and implement this in PL/SQL. Simplistic example:

Add Header, footer and Margin programmatically in Adobe Acrobat 7.0

I am using adobe acrobat 7.0 profesinal, We receive multiple PDF files then we have
to add header and footers and also change the Megins in these files.
Is this possible we can made these changes using Code written in VBA, VB6 etc.
So my point is add header & footer programmatically using VBA and VB6.
Is there need to access any APIs.?
What I have to to for this purpose??
Thanks in advance

Do they print if you chose to shrink to printable area in the printing options? I'm wondering if it's possible that your printer has a default border and the header/footer is getting cut off.

Anyone know of a way to adjust the top and side MARGINS of a document printed from iOS numbers? The default margins are too wide. Need more working space.

Open the document,
Tap the Tools icon (upper right).
Tap Document Set up.
Drag the margins to the position you wish (the actual margin width sould display as you are doing this).

How can I change the margin for the header/footer?

The header/footer are about .5 from the top/bottom but I want them at about .3/.4. How can I change this?

Would be useful to enter the Help menu and trigger the menu item Pages User Guide.

Help needed to insert data from different database

Hi ,
I have a requirement where i need to fetch data from different database through database link .Depending on user request , the dblink needs to change and data from respective table from mentioned datbase has to be fetched and populated .Could i use execute immediate for this, would dblink work within execute immediate .If not , could pls let me know any other approach .

What does "the dblink needs to change" mean?
Are you trying to dynamically create database links at run-time? Or to point a query at one of a set of pre-established database links at run-time?
Are you sure that you really need to get the data from the remote database in real time? Could you use materialized views/ Streams/ etc to move the data from the remote databases to the local database? That tends to be far more robust.

How to edit header & footer info that prints from Safari?

I need to adjust what info is included in the headers & footers that print-out using Safari. For instance, only the time is printing in the header. I need the date to print instead. Can't t find anything in preferences. Thanks.

Open the print dialogue and click Show Details. Under TextEdit there should be an option to print headers and footers. Uncheck it.

Page margin different from column guides

i have an indb which is comprised of 80 single page files that i am updating from last year, and am resizing each one, using layout adjustment. each page opens with this artifact on the master page files: the page margins are correctly set at .25" left and right, but the column guides show them shifted over maybe an eighth of an inch. if i go into margins and columns and change the right margin up or down, and then change it back, the column guide snaps back to match up with the page guide at .25". do you know why this is happening? i would rather not do it for every single page. i have synchronized the book with the correct master page settings and it doesnt change the problem.

That seemed pretty odd to me, but I was able to reproduce it (or something similar) by unlocking the column guides and dragging a guide away from the margin and then adjusting the margins.
It might also be corrupt prefs, though, so have a look at Replace Your Preferences
