How do I create an editable style in a template

A site I am currently coding will need a DWT template for use
with Contribute to prevent the site owner from editing things
he/she shouldn't. All of the pages will essentially use a single
template,
except I need to change a single style on every page. I need
just the contents of a single class="" to be editable. Does anyone
know a clever way to do this? You can't set an editable region
within the quotes - I've already tried that.

1. You can make the tag bearing the class assignment have an
editable class
attribute (read DW's F1 Help about editable attributes), or
2. You could make the tag and its minimal legal context be in
an editable
region, or
3. You could make the page have a small embedded stylesheet
in the editable
region that is in the head of every template child page that
would let you
specify the different styles for a given class rule.

How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.

How do I create a text style in CC libraries? Every time I drag and drop text into library form Photoshop or illustrator it turns it into a graphic.
If I select the text layer and click the text style button in the library it just creates a new text style for Myriad Pro 12pt - I'm not using that anywhere in my document.
Can anyone help? Seems like a bug to me as I'm trying what the video tutorials are saying.
Thanks

I realize AI is an illustration program.
Do you realize it is an object-based vector-based program? Do you know the difference between raster-based and vector-based content?
My question seems to be all over the forum but no one has been able to answer other than exporting to these file formats, which make text look awful and of no use....
And yet everyone else in the world makes proper web images every day using a plethora of programs, including these...go figure.
Am I missing something?
Yep. Pretty much.
Hello Adobe! People use transparency on website logos.
Hello, cocteau! What you're calling "transparency" is inherent to object-based vector artwork. But web browsers don't support object-based vector artwork, except via file formats like Flash and SVG, or by viewing as a PDF in a plug-in version of Reader. Raster imaging in general only supports "transparency" by either indexing a specific color (i.e.; "don't display this color", as in GIF) or including an alpha channel (i.e.; "blend all the pixels with existing pixels, based on values from this extra channel", as in PNG). It's all in the raster file format you use, cocteau; it has little-to-nothing to do specifically with Adobe software. Such things are among the most basic matters understood by someone doing web design.
When I export an eps from .ai file, and open the eps in photoshop,...I save as a gif for the web, it goes back to the original problem...creates jagged text. I"m giving up on this garbage...Thanks a lot adobe! Lower the price of this software if this is all that can be done.
Once it leaves Photoshop (or Illustrator, or whatever) as a non-proprietary raster image format, it's all about what the format can do re "transparency". You can do this stuff with most any graphics program. You should read about basic web design and the differences between raster and vector content, rather than rant.

How do i create o new style in ppages?

I would like to have a list style that adds no extra space after the line feed and another list style that adds 1/2 line after the line feed.
How do I create these new styles in Pages?
thanks in advance,
Ed

We no longer have line feeds because we know longer have fixed line lengths. That is why it is called a text string and it just wraps to fit.
Your model was back when the text was monospaced and there were 80 green characters per line on a black screen. I sure hope nobody is using ANSI anymore.
Irregardless of the ancient history, you are talking about paragraph returns, not line feeds, because that is the only place space after applies.
I don't have an iPad, which should be in a separate forum, but assume it all just is applied via paragraph styles wherever they may be.

How do I create a new Style that can be applied to an object?

Under the Assets menu there is a tab called “Styles”. My question is how do I create a new Style that I can apply to an object??? A link to a tutorial or something like that would be useful because I can’t find anything!!! Thanks in advance for helping me eliminate this frustration!!!

There are a couple of approaches you could try.
Clipping paths
1. Draw the part shape as a closed path.
2. Position the image of woodgrain above or below the shape where you want it positioned.
3. Cut
4. Select the closed path.
5. Paste Inside.
See: Using FreeHand MX > Contents > Working with Objects > Working with clipping paths
Tiled fills
1. Use autotrace to trace the image of the woodgrain, using plenty of colors.

2. Group the traced paths (but not the image) and create a tiled fill,

3. Make a style from a tile-filled object
4. Apply the style to other objects.

Beginner Flash question: How do I create a "step" style animation?

How do I create a "step" style animation? For certain movements, I don't want a smooth transition. I want position A to jump to position B immediately at the appropriate marker in the Timeline, not a gradual movement from point A to point B. Thanks in advance!

just create keyframes with your displayobject positioned and do not using tweening between the keyframes. or use actionscript and a timer to change the object's position.

How Do I Create an Editable Spry Menu as part of a Template?

I am having considerable trouble trying to work out an issue and hope you can help. I have been working on a webpage that I would like to be a template for a fundraiser we are doing. I used a horizontal spry menu and a vertical spry menu. I have two youtube videos that I would like embedded on the page, but I would like the flexibility to change them for different pages. I am trying to make my horizontal and vertical spry menus editable since I am going to be making pages for all items in the menus. I can't seem to set this up correctly. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? I have been able to set up editable regions according to my template file, however, when I open the template, I am unable to edit the spry menus or edit the youtube videos. Setting up editable regions also seems to change the look of my page.
Here is what I would like all the pages to look like: http://www.ymimusic.com/shoppers_guide.html
But this is how it looks presently when I try to make a page from the template I created following the instructions from the course: http://www.ymimusic.com/test.html
Since I cannot get the template to work the way I would like, I have not created any links yet. I can send you the template and html page if this will help. Thank you for your help in advance./p>

Murray,
I am just opening your responses now. I will try to clarify again. "There's the rub. This is not a wise choice. A completely different menu in each page will not only confuse your visitors, it will drive you insane. I strongly suggest you not do this." You were referring to "What throws us off the track is your wish to be able to have a different menubar in each page. In that case the menubar will need to be in an editable region."
What I am simply trying to do is this: If I create a menu that has the following links: About Us, Products, and Contact Us on one page, I want my customers to see the SAME menu on the About Us page, the Products page and the Contact Us page. I am NOT creating different menus on each page. I am trying to automate the format by creating a template that will show these links on each page without me redoing it every page.
When I attempted this, and created a page from the template, I could not get into the menu to assign links to different pages. Using the above example, If I created my About Us page as the template for the site, then created the Products page from the template, I need the ability to assign the links on the Products page to the About Us and Contact Us pages. The page created from the template does not allow me to do this. I cannot get in to assign the links in the Properties section of Dreamweaver. I even attempted to do the following action in the .dwt file I created:
Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
I did this to make the links editable after creating the template. This obviously didn't work.
To summarize: I do NOT want to make different menus on each page. I simply want to create the two menus you see (one horizontal and one vertical) that will be part of the template. I am trying figure out when I assign the links and How. I will go back and read your notes as well as read the help section (F1) as you requested, however that is why I contacted you; I did not understand what I was doing wrong. I have been working with a course series in Lynda.com that has explained much of what to do up to my problem spot, I simply need to understand the concept.
Thank you for your assistance.

How can you create a paragraph style that removes all spaces and forces everything to lower case?

Hi,
Is there anyway of using GREP (or some other magical wizardry) to create a paragraph style that automatically removes all spaces and forces words into lower case?
Strange request i know....I'm wanting to use it for datamerged email addresses.
Thanks

so doing it through InDesign is a work around I'm exploring.
Excel has the 'LOWER' function and the ability to record macros for a quick find/replace on the spaces - so that's definitely a good option if it can't be solved purely in InDesign.
You can change case via scripting in InDesign. This AppleScript (OSX only) will set the case of the selected paragraph style to lower. It would be possible to add some code that would strip spaces as well:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    activate
        set StyleList to name of every paragraph style of active document
    set myDialog to make dialog with properties {name:"Document Paragraph Styles"}
    tell myDialog
        tell (make dialog column)
            tell (make border panel)
                tell (make dialog column)
                    make static text with properties {static label:"Choose a Style", min width:150}
                end tell
                tell (make dialog column)
                    set myPresetsDropdown to make dropdown with properties {string list:StyleList, selected index:0, min width:150}
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    set myResult to show myDialog
    if myResult = true then
        --+1 gets the correct name because list starts at 0
        set myStyle to item ((selected index of myPresetsDropdown) + 1) of StyleList
    else
        return
    end if
    destroy myDialog
    tell active document
        set myStyle to paragraph style myStyle
        repeat with j from 1 to (count stories)
            repeat with i from 1 to (count paragraphs in story j)
                if applied paragraph style of paragraph i of story j is myStyle then
                    --defines a variable to replace the generic this_text parameter in the handler
                    set SCText to the contents of paragraph i of story j
                    set contents of paragraph i of story j to my change_case_of(SCText)
                end if
            end repeat
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell
on change_case_of(this_text)
    set the_comparison_string to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    set the_source_string to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    set the_new_text to ""
    repeat with thisChar in this_text
        set x to the offset of thisChar in the_comparison_string
        if x is not 0 then
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & character x of the_source_string) as string
        else
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & thisChar) as string
        end if
    end repeat
    return the_new_text
end change_case_of

How can i create smaller editable files into i movie?

hi first time posting here. i've been working on a family project for a while now and recently decided to add additional footage to an existing imovie i made before. this new footage was coming from a cousin's video cam. she first made a vhs copy of the footage for me and then i used my vhs/dvd recorder to turn it into a dvd. i opened it in my macbook, quit dvd player and opened the mounted disc. i then moved the individual vob files intoi toast titanium and then exported the files so i could manage them in imovie. at first i exported them into dv files. these were HUGE when i imported them into imovie although they were manageable files while on the desktop. i watched my gig availability shrink from 25gb to 11gb after importing a 10 minute clip. i've tried exporting from toast into a quicktime movie file, but somehow, this clip, when imported into imovie also becomes HUGE and somehow not manipulatable. how can i prevent this increase in the size of a clip when i import it into imovie and keep the file available for editing, trimming, etc? please help. thanks scott
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi scojjtoe - first of all, the work-flow is such that quality is an issue:
Assuming your cousin's camera is DV then the source footage has gone from DV, down-graded into VHS, then converted to MPEG in DVD (i.e compressed), then re-formatted once more into DV! Was there no other way of proceeding? Even recording the VHS onto your own DV vidcam would have removed one source of degradation.
When importing into iMovie, your file will be increased in size, as it will be turned into Full Quality DV (I think that is why the bloating has occurred, anyway). However, a 10 minute clip should be about 2 GB, unless that 10 minutes is actually part of a much bigger source clip - remember that iMovie uses non-destructive editing, so a source clip is retained if any part of it is used.

How can I create a navigation bar in the template so I can change the down state of a button on a page made from the template in DW3?

We're creating pages from a template in DW3. The template includes a header, footer and a navigation bar. We've made the navigation bar an editable region so that we can change the down state of the buttons on pages where it is required. However, when we make a new page from the template and try to change the behaviors of the buttons in the navigation bar it will not allow us to make those changes.

Have you considered using CSS styled text/list menus instead of image rollovers. It isn't hard really and it's actually a much better choice for web accessibility and for search engines to find and follow your links. Here are some links to several CSS menu systems you can try:

How can I create professional looking emails using a template?

Hi,
Looking to send out an email marking message using mac mail, but want something a little flasher that is currently capable just bolding and colouring fonts.
Kind regards,

Hi,
Thanks.
I have downloaded something by equinox. Email templates. I will try on a mac and pc to see how they format, but I take your point.
Will a template help mitigate against this?
Here is the link: https://www.equinux.com/eqnetwork/store/express.html?gID[]=5&dGID[5]=1&gID[]=6&dGID[6]=1&gID[]=21&dGID[21]=0&gID[]=16&dGID[16]=1&gID[]=7 &dGID[7]=1&gID[]=10&dGID[10]=1&gID[]=8&dGID[8]=1&gID[]=9&dGID[9]=1&gID[]=25&dGID [25]=1&h=ws

How do I create files in Captivate 6 and save them in a lower version?

I have Captive 6 at home and at work we are using 5.5.with no plans to upgrade. How do I create or edit in Captivate 6 and still save files so my coleagues can contribute using the software we are given at work?

Only between 6 and 7 this is possible, not with previous versions. And even between 6 and 7 you can have weird things happening. It has nothing to do with being a normal file or a template, I don't know why you tell that?
OP was talking about 5.5 and 6, and there this is NOT possible at all.

How do I create a title whose size matches my video frame size?

How do I create a 1920x1080 title?
I'm using Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7. I created a default title. If I right-click on the title in the Project Explorer and select properties, it says:
Title Size: 720 x 480
Pixel Depth: 32
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9091
If I drag this title onto a sequence onto a sequence created from the "AVHCD 1080i30 (60i)" preset then the title is automagically scaled to try to get it to fit into the 1920x1080 frame, resulting in a tiny title centered in the frame. I can make things better by right-clicking the title in the timeline and selecting "Scale to frame size", but that's not a particularly elegant solution (and the title, as displayed in the title editor, still doesn't exactly match the title displayed in the previous monitor).
How do I create and edit a title whose size matches my video frame size?

Thanks guys! I created the first title in a 640x480 sequence and didn't notice that I had the option to fiddle with the frame size when I created it. Subsequently, I created new titles by duplicating a previously created title (which I had set up with desired font, effects, etc.) and just changing the title text in the title designer. This worked great as long as I was making titles for a 640x480 sequence. But when I tried to use a copy of this title in a different sized sequence then things got weird on me. I spent way too long trying to find the option to resize the title before I finally gave up and decided to spend the time to figure out how to post a question in this forum.
Just to verify how things work, I verified that the size of a new title does, indeed, default to the size of the currently selected sequence. No idea what would happen if I had multiple sequences displayed simultaneously.
Any idea how to change the size of an existing title?
Bob
