How do I fix placed RTF files?

I am using CS4 to place several word documents into a book and I am having the usual issues of crashing when trying to place doc files. I am not using any special tables, graphics or fonts, and even if I disable all the import options it usually crashes.
I can sometimes get a regular doc to work but it randomly garbles the text and removes footnotes, so I don't trust this.
RTF seems to work so I think I am going to go with that, but it creates anomalies. I don't mind deleting the random spaces it creates (though this is tedious) but one thing it does which I don't know how to undo is that in the odd footnote here and there it creates a thin black box around some or all of the text. How do I get rid of this box? I can sometimes just retype whatever is in the box beside it and then delete the boxed text altogether but I can't do this when the box encompasses the entire footnote.
Any suggestions?

I'm still having trouble placing one document. It is a simple text document with footnotes but no tables, graphics, or lists. It has no hyperlinking in it. I have tried using .doc, .docx, and .rtf files, including those made on Word 2010, 2007, and 2003. Each time the result is the same: about 1/3 of the document is placed and it abruptly gets cut off in the middle of a sentence. The red box appears after 2 or 3 blank pages but will not actually add any more text if I try and do so. According to the story editor there is overset text in both the body and footnotes, but I don't know why this would be since I am there is just plain text and I have footnote splitting on.
I am at a total loss for this. Some have mentioned using programs to clear formatting, but it is very important that I not lose the numerous italics in the document. That would be a deal breaker.
Any advice? I don't have access to any other versions of ID besides my CS4 here. The other documents have been placed by one method or another - different rtf files. But this one just won't work.

  • How to create Fixed Length Flat File from Open Hub in BI 7.0

    My requirement is to produce a Fixed length Flat file by Open Hub destination. My Open Hub has four fields. Now the requirement is to create another extra field in Open Hub which will contain all of the four fields value. In addition to that the fields should be fixed length that means if for any field no value is there and the field length/type is CHAR4 then 4 spaces should be there as the field value. SO, basically the Open Hub output will be single field which will contain information of four fields.
    How to get this using End Routine of Transformation (from DSO to Open Hub) ?

    Hi,
    You can map the four input fields to the new field in the Open Hub, and change rule type to "Routine".
    For example, if your source fields are called "first", "second", "third" and "forth", the ABAP routine could be similar to:
    DATA: l_t_1  TYPE C LENGTH 4,
          l_t_2  TYPE C LENGTH 4,
          l_t_3  TYPE C LENGTH 4,
          l_t_4  TYPE C LENGTH 4.
    IF source_fields-first IS INITIAL.
      l_t_1 = '    '.
    else.
      MOVE source_fields-first TO l_t_1.
    endif.
    IF source_fields-second IS INITIAL.
      l_t_2 = '    '.
    else.
      MOVE source_fields-second TO l_t_2.
    endif.
    IF source_fields-third IS INITIAL.
      l_t_3 = '    '.
    else.
      MOVE source_fields-third TO l_t_3.
    endif.
    IF source_fields-forth IS INITIAL.
      l_t_4 = '    '.
    else.
      MOVE source_fields-forth TO l_t_4.
    endif.
    CONCATENATE l_t_1 l_t_2 l_t_3 l_t_4 into result.
    In the example, the program uses four blank spaces if any of the fields has no value. 
    Additionally, if non-initial values in input fields could be shorter than 4 characters (if the input fields have no fixed length), you could use STRLEN to evaluate if it is necessary to add blank spaces to complete the fixed length of 4.
    I hope this helps you.

    Maximiliano

  • How do I fix this SUID file error?

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I had a bunch of problems but seem to have solved most of them by upgrading my RAM to 4GB.
    But I keep getting this error when I verify permissions. I have no idea how it happened.
    Warning: SUID File "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/...ntents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID File "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopService...ions/A/Resources/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Any ideas?

    Not everybody gets them.
    Personally, I refuse to be inconvenienced by a software glitch over which I can exercise some control.
    These particular SUID warnings can be eliminated although the fix is not for the faint hearted. The solution is documented in [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10482083&tstart=50].

  • How to maintain format of ".rtf" file after save?

    Hello and thank you for taking your time. I have been facing some problems with my project for a while regarding the
    LoadFile  method . I have a project in Which I can can select several things and show them in a different
    RichTextBox. Now, through the press of a button I can Save the contents of that of That
    RichTextBox (The contents are formatted as in they have Bolded Text) in a
    Rich Text File (.rtf) . I implemented the method of saving through creating a function called "WriteInFile" which writes the Boxes` contents in a ".rtf" file.  This is The code :
    public void writeInFile(String name)
    name = "Your Program";
    name = String.Concat(name, ".rtf");
    file = name;
    TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(@name);
    tw.WriteLine(textBox1.Text);
    foreach (var line in richTextBox1.Lines)
    tw.WriteLine(line);
    tw.Close();
    Then I load "Your Program.rtf " through  the press of a different button, in the
    same RichTextBox using the following code :
    private void button4_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    richTextBox1.LoadFile("Your Program.rtf", RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);
    My problem is that when I load the file I want it tokeep its format,with bold etc. If I use the same code but insert ".RichText" It says that the format is invalid
    (throws an exception) using ".PlainText" is fine ,also using a ".txt" format is fine it is just that
    the format is not kept . I really do not know how to solve this...
    Thank you for your time!

    Try a different way:
    // save:
    richTextBox1.SaveFile(name, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText);
    // load:
    richTextBox1.LoadFile(name, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText);

    Hi,
    You can do this from within your groupings in the data source file. Here's some example code showing hwo to do this.
    <group name="G_DEPT" source="Q1">
    <element name="DEPT_NUMBER" value="DEPTNO" />
    *<element name="DEPTSAL" value="G_EMP.SALARY" function="SUM()"/>*

  • How to import Fixed Asset Master File

    Hi all expert,
    I used BAMasterDataImportFile to import the Fixed Asset. But the message as below appear :
    "Import end;Number of successfully imported assets: 0;Number of processed assets:2"
    After complete import the fixed asset master files still empty. May i know anybody can advise me for import fixed asset files?
    Thank for help.
    From:
    Eric Tan

    Hi Eric,
    Please refer your error with the possible reasons below (from SAP notes):
    Error message: "Import End; Number of imported assets:0; Number of processed asset:2"
    Reason: Note that there is no error. It is usually because of the conflict of Depr. Start Date , Use Life and Remaining Life.
    The following is a list of possible errors:
    1. Fixed Asset in Production Mode -- Make sure Fixed Asset is in Transfer mode before importing.
    2. The number of semicolons for each line is not 66 -- For each line, each field must be separated by a semicolon(, the number of separators( should be 66.  Number( = 66.
    3. Wrong Date Format DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY -- The correct date formats should be : YYYYMMDD, YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY.MM.DD or YYYY/MM/DD
    4. Asset Class unavailable -- The asset class in your csv file does not exist in Fixed Assets; make sure the used asset classes are defined in Fixed Assets before importing.
    5. Depr. Type unavailable -- The given depreciation type does not exist in Fixed Assets, make sure the used depreciation type is defined in Fixed Assets before importing.
    6. Depr. Area unavailable -- You entered data for a depreciation area that does not exist. If there are only 2 depreciation areas in Fixed Assets do not enter data for area 3 or 4.
    7. Depr. Area is inactive for asset class  -- You entered data in the csv file for an area that is not active for the given class in Fixed Assets.
    8. Life parameter is negative or the remaining life is greater than planned life -- All life parameters should be positive, the remaining life should be less than the planned life
    Life Parameters(Depr. Start Date, Useful Life and Remaining Life) are mathematically incorrect for one of the areas in csv. Remaining life = Useful life - (the difference between the first date of import year and depreciation start date). Note that it is not the difference between import date(the date you import Fixed Asset Master Data) and depreciation start date. You must calculate the remaining life correctly. For example, you want to import an asset in 2005, you import it on 2005-09-01 ,then the first date of the import year is 2005-01-01, Depr. Start Date = 2003-06-01, Useful Life = 60 months, then
          Remaining Life = 60 - (2005-01-01 - 2003-06-01) = 60 - 19 = 41 months.
          The following calculation is wrong:
          Remaining Life = 60 - (2005-09-01 - 2003-06-01) = 60 - 27 = 33 months
    Import Fixed Asset for the current fiscal year -- The fixed asset master data import function is designed for legacy data importing. We recommend you to import fixed asset master in the past years. If you insist on importing an asset for the current fiscal year, make sure the depreciation start date is the first date of current fiscal year and the Remaining Life is the same as the Useful Life.
    Year Values -- the sum of the accumulated depreciation (planned, unplanned and special depreciation) in the csv file is greater than the acquistion and production costs.
    Also, don't forget to change the fixed asset mode to transfer. Administration>System initialization>Company Details> Basic initialization tab.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I get an RTF file to open properly in MS Word?

    I'm using Coldfusion 8 and trying get it to export to Microsoft Word an RTF file  that was also created in Word, and is stored on the server. The problem is that when Word opens from the browser, it displays the RTF code for the document as if I'd opened the file in a text editor. The extension is ".rtf", and I've tried using ".doc" and ".docx" but nothing works. And even though Word opens it with an rtf extension, if I do a "Save As", it wants to save the file as an .htm file. I've also tried changing the content-type to "application/msword" but this didn't work. Also if I use OpenOffice instead of MS Word it still doesn't work. My code is below, if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong it would be very appreciated.
    <cfset formFile = "test.rtf">
    <cfset pathToRTF =  GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath()) & formFile />
        <!---<cfset rtfForm = FileRead(pathToRTF) />--->
        <cffile

  • How do I fix broken song files in iTunes with songs transferred from my iPod to my computer?

    Recently got a new computer but when I tried to transfer the files in My Music>iTunes to my new computer I realized that only about half the songs in my library have folders in the iTunes folder, even purchased songs (no idea why). I could download mp3s of every broken song and re-do it that way, but I would rather figure out a way to restore the files from my iPod and save a lot of time.
    I enabled disk use on my iPod and dragged the folders from iPod_control>Music to a folder on my desktop but the songs are all assigned random four letter names. I don't know if iTunes will be able to detect the right file to restore each song if I just direct it to this folder (using the prompt when you try to play the song), not to mention that the random songs are broken up into 49 separate folders so I would just have to randomly guess which folder to direct it to (I have 1993 songs). If I drag all the files into iTunes will it just create doubles of each song? I don't care about play counts, I don't know if that's stored in the song file, but it's not a big deal for me to replace all the songs in iTunes with the files from my iPod as long as all the files work.

    Thank you so much! I now know how to convert AIFF audio files to ACC files, and I can keep the original AIFF file! One other concern though -- how do I tell which is the bigger AIFF file and which is the new smaller ACC file? iTunes doesn't have an obvious place/window that tells me the audio file size. Is there a way to tell the two apart. It looks like it creates an identical file name, not even a "copy" extension or anything -- so it's impossible to tell them apart. Is there another secret here?
