How can I automatically align the bottoms of two-page spreads in a long novel in CS3?

I'm laying out a long novel in InDesign CS3. I've set the text to align to the baseline grid and have the keep options set to prevent widows and orphans. Because of these keep settings, often one page is a line shorter than the one facing it. Is there some way to set things up so that the longer page in a 2-page spread automatically breaks a line sooner, so as to match the shorter facing page -- or do I have to introduce page breaks manually, spread by spread?

If you're the author, you might want to consider rewriting the annoying paragraphs. Perhaps changing a contraction to full words, or replacing full words with a contraction, for example. Yes, it's hard not to change meaning, so it's your call. If you have a good relationship with the author, you could consider suggesting the same thing.
Other possibiliies that may not be acceptable options in your situation include experimenting with applying the single-line paragraph composer instead of the default multi-line composer, adjusting type and leading heights, and/or text frame size, uniformly all across the book, to see if a tiny tweak resolves all or most of the annoyances.
The Auto-Size text frame feature just introduced in InDesign CS6 might work by setting it to a maximum and minimum height that differ by one line, "grow down from the bottom."
Here's the dialog box:
Search Google for terms like "InDesign CS6 auto-size text frame feature" without quotes for more info.
[EDIT] Ooops, I just learned from Anne-Marie Conception's excellent free sample Lynda.com video tutorial that came up in the Google search I suggested above, that Auto-Size can't set a maximum frame height. So it might be tricky or impossible to find the right combination of keep lines together and other settings for your purpose of compensating for only one line of difference.[/EDIT]

LabVIEW/SignalExpress: How can I automate measuring the time between two pulses?

Hi everyone, bit of a newbie here so please bear with me.
I'm a student at a university conducting a muon decay experiment with an oscilloscope connected to some photomultipliers. To summarize, if a muon enters the detector it will create a very small width pulse (a few ns). Within a period of 10µs it may decay, creating a second pulse. The oscilloscope triggers on the main pulse 5-15 times per second, and a decay event happens roughly 1-2 times per minute. I am trying to collect 10 hours of data (roughly 1500-2000 decay events) and measure the time it takes for each decay.
I've been able to set recording conditions in SignalExpress that starts recording on the first pulse and stops recording on the last. The Tektronix TDS 1012 oscilloscope however feeds 2500 points of data from this snapshot into a text file (for use in excel or other software). Even if I perfectly collected the data, I would have 100,000+ data points and it would be too much to handle. I don't know how (or if it's possible) to reduce the sample size.
To conclude, using Labview or SignalExpress, I would like to be able to have the software
1. Differentiate between the single pulse detections and double pulse decay events
2. Record only when two pulses appear on the oscilloscope
3. Measure the time between these two pulses and ONLY that to minimize the amount of data recorded.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!

Hi wdavis8,
I am not that familiar with Tektronix, but there should be a place in the dialog that you go through when you create the action step to acquire date to specify a sampling rate. That would allow you to reduce the number of data points you are seeing, but may reduce the quality of the data.
If it’s just a matter of that much data being hard to dig through when you have that many points, you could do some analysis on the data after the fact, and then create a new file with only the data you want to look at. For example, you could identify the peaks in the data, and based on the distance between them or the difference in magnitude, selectively write data to a new file.
Here is some information about peak detection in LabVIEW:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3770/en/
You could also do some downsampling on the data to get fewer data points:

Those are just a few quick ideas.

How can I automatically create the files with serie-name?

Hello, Everyone,
I have a question again.
How can I automatically create the file with a serie-filename?
e.g. I have a program, it will repeat 5 times, and every time it will create a bmp-file, and I want to let this program automatically save these 5 files with a Serie-filename like File001.bmp, File002.bmp, .... File005.bmp.
How can I do it?`
Thanks a lot.
Regarts,
Johnny

Hi Deepu,

The format code should be "%04d" to get leading zeros and have filenames with same length...

Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.

How can I get extract the data between two cursors on an XY graph

How can I get extract the data between two cursors on an XY graph

Well, you say xy graph, so this might be a more complicated problem.
For a waveform graph it's trivial. Simply get the two cursor indices (property: cursor index) and apply them to array subset of the data. Is that all you need?
Here's how the above code would look like. using cursor.index instead of cursor.x elimnates the need to include scaling information.
For an xy graph, there could be multiple segments (e.g. imagine a spiral that passes the desired x range multiple times from both sides). This would neeed significantly more code for a general solution.

How can you automatically start the next Podcast?

When an audiobook finishes, the next audiobook automatically. How can I get podcasts to do the same? I listen on bike rides and it is difficult to have to switch to the next podcast.
Windows XP

Hi
Welcome to Apple discussions.
2 options (neither of which are particularly great)
First - drag the relevant podcasts into a playlist in iTunes, sync your iPod and then off you go!
Second - Create an on the go playlist of the relveant episodes on your iPod.
I think the thinking behind this is that Apple assume people only have one podcast at a time to listen to i.e. one a day/ week etc. You are right though, it would be nice just to have a preference to set to do what you want.
You should leave your feedback here:

How can I automatically notify the invitees by email about an event on the calendar on a certain date ?

Hello,
I want to start an event in the calendar, on this very day, for after 2 weeks (just giving an example).
Also I want to add an notification, that is going to notify me and all the invitees, for example 10 before the very event.
How can I do that?
I tried to do it, but it only reminds me, not the invitees.
Thanks in advance!
Have a wonderful day!

I don't enter it , it gets it from my card and i have written 2 there and its allowing me to choose between those two.
Maybe we are talking about different things if you can just let me know the procedure of doing it from the beginning, I will be very grateful, if not thanks!

How can ID automatically change the business system while importing?

Hi gurus,
There are many scenarios in our PI system. It will be a tedious work if we don't use transport system(CTS+).
You know we have to create the scenarios manually in Integration Directory since the business system is different.
The question is as below (BTW:We are using local SLD for dev,qas,prd separately):
If we don't use transport system, and only use export and import functionality, and create business system group, can we make the ID automatically change the name of business system while importing?

Hi Xinjiang,
You can follow below method.
In Quality system transport targets will be DEV(Dev pi system) ---> QEA(Quality PI system)
In Production system transport targets will be DEV(Dev pi system) ---> PEA(Production PI system)
This will ensure that you does not need to create separate request in Quality system. You can use the same request created in Dev to transport to production system. This will reduce your efforts of transportation. This is the same type of approach that is followed in ECC system as well or next solution is creating transport target in each sld system as you mentioned below,
we have three local SLD, so we need to create TS and BS for PI DEV in SLD QAS, and create TS and BS for PI QAS in SLD PRD,
Following link will help you for defining transport target.

Comment please, we need your help.
PS. How can install fonts (fonts presents in the old version) for the new version?
Hola a todos:
No puedo creerlo, pero la nueva versión de Pages (5.0), es muy muy diferente a la versión anterior, fuentes, plantillas, formatos y otras cosas no funcionan en la nueva versión.
Por favor, que podemos hacer... Necesitamos leer el manual, o eta situación es por los cambios y están trabajando en ello?
Comenten por favor, necesitamos su ayuda.
PD. Como instalo fuentes (fuentes presentes en la verrsión anterior) para la nueva versión?

Yes Pages 5 is very different and has many features and templates missing.

How can I programmatically change the colour of tab pages? If not, when?

I have found that in LabVIEW 6.0.2 the "Dialog" tab control cannot be coloured, but the other type of tab control one can be coloured by the paintbrush tool. I cannot find any property node to programmtically set the colour of the enitre tab control or individual pages. When will these properties be available in LabVIEW?

The dialog controls and indicators are designed
specifically for use in dialog boxes. These controls inherit their color from the colors you set in Control Panel >> Display. Because of this you will not be able to programmatically change their color.

How can I automatically update the JDK (not JRE) on a Windows box

Hi,
We have a build machine that we use to build our product. I would like to automate the process of updating the JDK used to build the product so that, as a new JDK release/update/version becomes available for download it get automatically installed on the build machine. Any recommendations on how I could do this? Is there at least a way to get notified when a new release/update/version is available?
Thanks,
Graham

How can I automatically control the channel selection on the data logger

I am an in-experienced use with a simple system which measures and displays temperature from 16 thermocouples. Not all 16 thermocouples are always connected at once and those that aren't are blanked off from view. I would also like to use the Advanced Data Logger VI to log the measurements but would like to have the logger only record or display the thermocouples that are connected. Un-connected channels give a signal of 1264 degrees so I can use a comparator to give a boolean output to switch them off. Can anyone please tell me how to do this.
Also, I need to expand the VI to read all 16 channels instead of the current 8. Any help would be appreciated

Mike,
Unfortunately I couldn't get the reference of the example you mention, probably you may want to add it as an attachment so the person who decides to answer this question knows exactly which example you are describing. So for the part of making visible/invisible some of the channels I attached an example that I built for demonstrating this feature, simply open the VI and run it, if you want one of the channels or plots from the graph to be invisible just click in the push button that corresponds to it. Switch to the block diagram and review the use of property nodes, using the property of visible.

Good luck!

When I add music to iTunes how can I automatically get the latest songs I've downloaded onto my iPhone when I connect the wire?

I don't know how to do this so I have to currently add the music one by one which is time consuming, Thanks

Hi, next time you do connect your iPhone
CLick on name of iPhone under Devices left column in iTunes   (if no left column showing click on View -Menu Bar>>Show Sidebar)
IF you are adding songs one by one you may have it set to Manually Manage Music change that under Options from Summary Page
From Summary page for iPhone Sync Settings >>select Music   below Apple top center of iTunes window
Check   Sync Music    select Selected Albums, Artists, Genres and Playlists be sure to have Recents selected under playlists. This will assure that all new music added will sync to iPhone. even better you can always create a new playlist that you manage in iTunes to include only what you want from your iTunes library and have that playlist selected in sync settings for iPhone music.

How can i automatically change the frame size

hello everyone and have a nice week!
I have diary with many text frames per page and i want to change the frame size automatically on some of them because i change the font size. I tried find/change but on the object section there is everything but the frames size.
I hope someone has the answer to that otherwise its hours of work...

Frame fitting only works onthe last frame in a threaded set. I'm not sure that the auto fit feature in CS6 would help, either.
I'm not sure that I understand what it is you are doing, now that you've said the frames are threaded. Can you give us more of an explanation, perhaps some screen shots (blur the text if it's too personal, or add placeholder text for a sample).

How can I automatically have the XRAID turn on and off at a specific time?

I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to turn on and off the XRAID at a specific time. My electrical bills are crazy. Is there a way to get this done?

I think turning the RAID on and off periodically is a bad idea. But if you really really really want to do this ....
Connect the xserve raid to a 'metered power strip such as those provide by APC. you can telnet to the power strip via the network to power off individual port)
write a script (run on the xserve or powermac that the RAID is connected to (direct or via switch)
0) quit application (issue a quit command or if the application have a stop command (example databse can be stopped)
1) unmount volume (must)
2) issue a telnet command via expect script to control the power strip to power off the array.
If you have java cli access to the array (see alienraid.org).(I have not tried this before.)
http://alienraid.org/article.php?story=xserveraidtools12&query=command
You can issue a command to execute the RAID admin shutdown command.
Put the master script into a unix cron job.
