HELP!!! My text is suddenly in hieroglyphics

I have no idea if I did this or if I got a virus that caused it but all of the text on my computer is now in hieroglyphics. Needless to say this makes it difficult to troubleshoot. Is there anyone that can help me to restore my old portege 7200 series. I do not have the original system discs for it.
Thanks for any advice.

Digitalmedia-labs claims they can supply recovery discs for the following models for $27.50 including shipping.
Portege 7200CT, 7200CTe, and 7220CTe
I have no idea whether they deliver. Please let us know what you learn.

Email text size suddenly very small, uncontrolled font change

Without warning, the text of incoming emails is suddenly very small. The body of text is crowded into the left side of the screen. And, old emails in the inbox are exhibiting the same behavior. If you double tap the text, it resizes to fill the screen, but you shouldn't have to double tap every message to get it to read properly. I have tried accessibility function and increased the font size, but that has not helped. Reading email in landscape helps. I recently turned on iCloud but then turned it off with respect to emails. Cannot figure out why this is suddenly happening. Help.

Try quitting Mail.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the Mail app until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

Please help- adding text/titles to a clip

I hope someone here can help me!
I seem to have this problem continuously, and have previously worked around it, but it's giving me the s**ts.
Here's the scenario- I want to add text OVER a clip, not on black.
Sounds simple right?
NOPE! I do the preview- yup it's over the clip.
I click add, or drag it, or click the tick in the preview.
As it's rendering- yup, shows it over the clip.
But as soon as it STOPS- all of a sudden it's just text on black.
I've tried using different sorts of titles (from music to subtitles, everything) but the exact same thing happens- preview is fine, as it renders it looks fine, but it ends up being text on black. (Yes, I have 'on black' unchecked).
I also tried adding it in different ways, ie adding at the playhead or dragging it in- no difference.
Am I missing something vitally obvious here? How can I get my text OVER the clip?

Hi
a. to add text - the text tool has to know where. Just placing playhead will not
work. The text tools orients after clip cuts. You need to do a cut where the text
is supposed to start.
b. I guess that deleting pref file might get iMovie to behave.
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
Many possible origins. Most common:
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disc if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disc is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disc (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4 - is OK
iMovie pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.

New bee looking for applescript help with text edit app

I have a huge text files (20+) , I want to find a list of words like weather, farmers, ploughing. I want to find these words one at a time, as my text file is 250+ Mb in size.
I want applescript to count the how many times each word appears in the text.
Paste that occurrence of word into an spreadsheet file in a row named after text file , and in a column named weather, farmers, ploughing.
Please help.
Thanks much.
CF
PS so far I can open the text files with applescript, that is about the extent of my ability in programing.
Message was edited by: coldfusions onco

For a file of that size, you would need to use some shell utilities to get decent performance. To count words, the following script breaks up the text into words, then counts the number of times the specified word is found (a dictionary file is used as an example, so the match is equivalent to 'contains'):
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
set theFile to "/usr/share/dict/web2" -- a 2.5MB list of words
set someWords to {¬
{theWord:"weather", theCount:0}, ¬
{theWord:"farmers", theCount:0}, ¬
{theWord:"ploughing", theCount:0}}
repeat with anItem in someWords
set aWord to quoted form of theWord of anItem
try -- break up into individual words, then search and count
set theCount of anItem to (do shell script "tr -cs '[:alpha:]' " & quoted form of linefeed & " < " & theFile & " | grep -ic " & aWord) as integer
end try
end repeat
someWords
</pre>
Is this related to your Automator post?

Need help with text() processing in XSL

Hello,
I have an xml that contains such text in my xml:
before<a>inside</a>after
and an xsl that transforms it to HTML (a cut for xsl):
<xsl:template match="a">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="."/>
</xsl:template>
The result is: inside before after
but I need: before inside after
It seems it happens 'cause of this: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#conflict
but I cannot find a way to solve this problem :(
I had tried to use priority in xsl:template, but it didn't help :(
Thanks a lot.

DrClap
here are xml and xsl.
That's not a real xml and xsl, but they might describe the idea and problem. I hope I miss nothing.
P.S. I cannot control xml, that's why I cannot use: <xsl:text> in xml.

Urgent - help with Text direction in InDesign CS4

Hello,
I use InDesign CS4 on Windows 7. It's a standard version (without options for right-to-left languages).
Whenever I make a new text frame, it seems to have a right-to-left "logic" of the text. The text types left to right, but the period in the end would go all the way right.
It also mixes up tabs. It looks like this:
Instead of:
Usually I get around it by pasting another correctly formatted text-frame or text, and it works.
Now I'm trying to create a new document with master frame (in order to be able to easily change the layout successively of a many-paged document), where I need to insert existing (formatted) text. But this text take this "right to left logic", whether I past the text, or even a whole text frame.
I could find nothing in the character/paragraph options to get rid of this.
I would greatly appreciate if you could help me.
with respect,
Jerusalem Nun.

This behaviour is normal. Changing the default property of any style, when no document is open, changes the style for every new document, but not for existing document.
Take a look what is your basic style where all other styles are build up on it, in your case, go to the paragraph style and look what is the basic style which was used.
If the default style was used (it is the one in brackets), you have always a problem. You should not use it in any case.
Because you don't have a ME version of InDesign you can't change direction directly, but you can create a new document with the default settings and the same paragraph (and character, table and cell styles) in a new document without RTL styles. Save this document, no content is required.
Go to the 'infected' document, open the paragraph style panel and in the panel menu take "Load all text styles", select the new document and overwrite with the incoming styles.
If necessary you might repeat it with the Table, Cell, Character and Object Styles, as all of them have some kind of direction settings.
I don't know how good your styles were created, you have to adjust your document. And I would strongly recommend—I repeat—I strongly recommend to work always with styles.

Help with text message options

Is there a way to adjust the size of the text in text messages on my Curve 8530? Or maybe make them bold or change colors? I've tried other apps that let you do this but I really like the way the native SMS works. Thanks for any help.
Got my first ever Blackberry on 8/10/2010
Curve 8530

1. Put a 0 somewhere in your sheet.
2. CTRL+C in this 0 cell.
3. Select the column(s) which you want to convert to number.
4. Paste Special > Add (under operation section)
5. Now, this will convert that column completely to Numeric even if something is left out in your manual method.
6. You may delete the 0 which you put in step 1.
7. Make sure that lookup value is also numeric.

Help producing text and image next to each other in output.

Hi,
I've been trying to produce a PDF and HTML version of a Highlights for Users section using FM and RH in TCS3. All of our documentation is produced in Framemaker and RH is used to produce the WebHelp output. What I would like to have is text left-justified next to an image, separated by a company-coloured line for each highlight, then same again for each highlight.
I have tried importing images into FM which are right-justified and run into paragraph, and I could probably fiddle this just for the PDF using carriage returns but I cannot get a decent RH WebHelp output.
I/m completely inexperienced in trying to produce fancier type of output and until now have only ever had to import screenshots with figure caption with text before and after. If the above is badly explained this is what I would like to see in both PDF and WedHelp
Main Heading
What a fantastic               Image
feature we've                    Same Image
produced                         Same image
What another                   Image2
great feature                    Same Image2
we've produced               Same image2
Any help much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Karen

Hi Jeff,
I'll try that. Would I then have to have an image restricted to the size of the Table? At the moment I restrict
the image size in PDF to the width of the page, but allow full-size images in the WebHelp output. I like this
scenario as I think that more people use the html, but from user surveys PDFs are needed for printing out.
Many thanks for your help.
Best wishes,
Karen

Flash Site Template Help With Text

So I downloaded a flash template to use for my website... all I need are some editing of the texts, pictures, and some of those links. Here is the template:
http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/24451.html
My problem is I'm completely NEW at flash. I used to use FrongPage 2003 for my webdesign but I wanna use this for my new website (since it looks a lot better!) How do I edit the text fields? I can only seem to move the bar along the timeline to watch the animation, and see all the layers and item properties that none have anything with the text in them. And also the images as well, if I need to do anything special with those (within template link above you'll see they flash white for a second) and the main logo has some animation there. I have all the fonts required but I don't know if I also have to make the logo with those special white flashy lines like a GIF animator or if that's just some special affect within the template itself.
Now due to legal notices specified by the site I can't share the template with you but I'll attempt to answer any and all questions i can to see if I can get this all figured out so I can begin adding my own content to the site. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't look like there's an xml file for the text. Reading the template help index, and its saying some text might have complex coding for special effects and that I'd have to edit by the Library or something, so I'll try using that reference for now. I appreciate the help and I may come back if this can't help me lol
EDIT: It says I'm missing the font file "tahoma" mapped to _sans ....?? I have tahoma... as well as the main title logo isn't appearing in the .fla file anymore even though I got the correct font. I'm confused >.<
Edit 2: As well I get this a lot on many different areas:
Forms Component - Version 0.81
Couldn't load configuration.

Please help with text boxes

Can somebody help me wit hmy problem. I have a fom with many tables in it, some cells of the table are text boxes or at least they were when I developed it. Now I need to edit some of the cells and for some reason I cannot do it as the cell is not a text box but became (untitled<draw>) I cannot change its type back to text. Can some one advise what to do whitouh retyping text again in the new cell.
Many thanks in advance

You are welcome!
I have a preference for Javascript (just get in the syntax zone) and use it for most things (except dates).
As you know:
this = current object
rawValue = accesses the value of object
From an Excel point of view FormCalc is similar and has inbuilt function like sum(), Max(), etc. Syntax is $ for current object and you don't need the rawValue. This is very handy when summing a column in a repeating table. Also FormCalc is excellent for working with time and dates. (not that you can't work around in Javascript, but it is heavier).
Adobe have a very good reference for FormCalc at http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_formCalc_82 and I would recommend that to you. I think it comes from the LC help file, but is easier to use.
From a performance point of view, you can either have FormCalc in the calculate event of an object, which looks back at other fields (this will fire each time one of these fields changes). Alternatively you can have the FormCalc in the exit event of a field, which pushes a calculation/value forward to another object.
Functions are handy if you have a script that you are using several times in a form. You write the script in a "script variable" and then call it in the objects events. HOWEVER, script variables are available in Javascript only.
One last thing is that if you have a constant (like VAT), then rather than including "* 0.21" in all of your calculations, use a global variable in the Form / Properties / Variables tab. currentVat = 0.21. Then in your calculations would be "* currentVat.value". If the VAT rate changes then you only have to change it in one location.
In summary FormCalc is more akin to Excel; just watch the syntax.
Good luck,
Niall

Help with text formatting in Stickies

I just discovered the Stickies app and it's almost perfect for helping me keep track of my tasks and to-dos. However, I'm slightly obsessive on minor details so I have a few questions:
Is it possible to center the text without having to paste from another source? I've set the style the way I want it in Word and then paste it into a new note where it looks perfect. Large bold centered text. I go to Note > Use as Default but the text alignment isn't saved. I saved the style as a favorite but have to drill down the styles dialogs just to center text. I'll be creating an deleting a lot of these during the day and it's actually easier for me to read these when the text is centered.
Same as 1 but for line-spacing. When I try to set the default with 1.5x line spacing new notes are created in 12pt Time New Roman
Is there a way to set it so that Command+Shift+Y always does a Paste and Match Style? My current workaround is to select all and then paste style to set them as the default font.
Thanks!

I had the same problem with CP7 and just upgraded to CP8.01. This version seemed to format my long answers almost perfectly when I imported the first two question pools - then it reverted back to the same old CP7 behavior. This makes me think that there must be a way to do this.
Update: Here's the workaround that I've used to get these "long questions" and "long answers" to fit into the multiple question Master Slide. I copied then duplicated the "MCQ, T/F, FIB, Sequence" Master Question slide. On the new one, I expanded the Question area box, both horizontally and vertically so it will accommodate even very lengthy questions.
I then did the same for the answers area - I have to adjust both so they didn't overlap - and I reduced the size of my "Review Area" since I won't be needing it in my exam format. After saving my project, I then imported a new question pool that was in GIFT format. Of course all of them are imported using the original "MCQ, T/F, FIB, Sequence" Master Question slide format. But now I can view my "Question Pool" (Windows > Question Pool), then select all of them (Control, A) then in the "Properties" tab you should have a pull down that allows you to select the new question master slide you just created. Select it and all of your imported slides now should display properly.
Note that this seems to work only when your answers can fit on two lines - not three lines or more. But if you've stretched wide the answer area box in you master slide this will work for most long answers.

Help with text format

I am attempting to emulate an example in shown in:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/gui/swing2/swing2_chap11.pdf
With the following code
fieldFormat = new NameFormat();
JFormattedTextField rField = new JFormattedTextField(fieldFormat);
rField.setColumns(15);
rField.setValue(initialValue);
class NameFormat extends Format {
     public StringBuffer format(Object obj, StringBuffer toAppendTo, FieldPosition fieldPosition) {
          fieldPosition.setBeginIndex(toAppendTo.length());
          String str = obj.toString();
          char prevCh = ' ';
          for (int k=0; k<str.length(); k++) {
               char nextCh = str.charAt(k);
               if (Character.isLetter(nextCh) && prevCh == ' ')
                    nextCh = Character.toTitleCase(nextCh);
               toApendTo.append(nextCh);
               prevCh = nextCh;
          fieldPosition.setEndIndex(toAppendTo.length());
          return toAppendTo;
}I get the following error:
FormattedField.NameFormat should be declared abstract; it does not define parseObject(java.lang.String,java.text.ParsePosition) in java.text.Format
Therefore I determined there must be methods missing. Upon looking I find the following two other methods defines for Format .
formatToCharacterIterator(Object obj) {}
parseObject(String source, ParsePosition pos) {}
The problem is I am unable to determine what the methods should do or look like if added to NameFormat.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks
