How do I get multiple lines to print for a blank text field so that it can be filled in by hand?

I have to design forms that are fillable electronically and by hand.  The problem that I am running in to is supplying multiple lines that will print for people that are hand filling the form.  I have tried to add an image of lines behind the text field, but these would get in the way when the form was filled in electronically.
I am using LiveCycle Designer ES2 v. 9.0 on a Windows machine.
Thanks.

Ok.
Take a textfield
Go to Object | Allow multiple lines
Go to Layout | Height | activate "Expand to fit"
Go to the initialize-Event or readyform (You have to change the _ for your textfield)     this.rawValue = "___________\n___________\n___________";
Go to the enter-Event   this.rawValue = null;
Go to the exit-Event  
          if(this.rawValue == null)
                this.rawValue = "___________\n___________\n___________";
          }else{}
With this solution you can simulate the same as pattern see above.
I hope this is helpfull for you,
Mandy

    You can only get 4GB or 8GB (2012 Models) in the Air when you order it that way.  Otherwise, you're stuck with 2GB.

  • How do I get multiple lines in codeblock ?

    FM 11
    I know that <codeblock> is designed to represent lines of program code and that line endings and spaces must be preserved. However, my line endings are not being preserved; turn into a new <codeblock> leaving me with line after line of <codeblock> elements like this:
    <codeblock>Do forever.</codeblock>
    <codeblock>Say "Hello World"</codeblock>
    <codeblock>End</codeblock>
    Rather than like this:
    <codeblock>
         Do forever
              Say "Hello World"
         End
    </codeblock>
    These are my Text format rules in my EDD:
    1.   If context is: * < stepresult < substep
             Use paragraph format: CodeBlock2
    Else, if context is: li < * < choice
         Use paragraph format: CodeBlock3
    Else, if context is: * < stepresult < step
        Use paragraph format: CodeBlock1
    Else, if context is: * < stepxmp
        Use paragraph format: CodeBlock1
    Else, if context is: * < step
         Use paragraph format: CodeBlock1
    Else:
         Use paragraph format: Codeblock
    2.     If context is: [expanse="page"]
                   Pagination properties
                        Placement: Across all columns and side heads
    CodeBlock is defined like this in the FM Paragraph Designer (with only the margins differing for CodeBlock1, CodeBlock2, etc.)
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Marsha...
    The key is in your r/w rules file. You need this ..
    element "codeblock"
      writer line break is 99999 characters;
      reader line break is forced return;
    The "writer" rule ensures that the lines don't wrap inadvertently when written to XML (99999 is a bit extreme, but doesn't hurt).
    The "reader" rule preserves the line breaks.
    You'd insert the codeblock element, type your line and press SHIFT+ENTER for a linebreak, then type the next line. Save and reopen the file and it should be all good.
    The only problem (in default FM is that if you want to use elements within the codeblock for formatting on inline content), if the end tag of an inline element "touches" the line break, that line break will be lost on save (or open). You have to manually insert a space between the close tag and the line break mark. (As you might expect, DITA-FMx automatically fixes this problem.) Also .. if your inline tagging wraps to a new line, you'd need to include a r/w rule for that element as well in order to preserve the line breaks within.
    Re-reading your post, I'm wondering if the actual problem is that you're pressing ENTER at the end of each line rather than SHIFT+ENTER. If so, that will end the current codeblock and start another. Try SHIFT+ENTER instead.
    Cheers,

  • How do I get the charging port cover open on my I-pad, so that I can insert the charger?

    I'm trying to connect an Ipad to a USB charger (30 pin, I believe) there is a little black plastic cover over what appears to be the charging port. How do I get this to open ?

    There is no charging port cover on the iPad. Do you have a case on your iPad? It may have a cover. If so, you'll need to consult any documentation that came with the case.

  • How do I get an edit box to appear on my "Mailboxes" page so that I can add new mailboxes?  I get edit boxes on the specific mailbox pages but not the general page.

    My wife has an edit page on her iPad, however, I do not.  If there is a setting, I have been unable to find it.  When I hit move on an "Inbox" message, my only choices are Trash and Sent.

    You can only get the mailboxes within the specific email accounts and only if the accounts are IMAP. Do you both have the same email provider and both have accounts that are setup as IMAP?
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?

    How do you get a line with MULTIPLE fields to WRAP ?
    Good afternoon everyone...
    THE PROBLEM: Why doesn’t a line with multiple fields WRAP?
    HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE/WHAT I”D LIKE TO SEE
    If I have 2 fields on a line (this is now a hypothetical example and nothing to do with my actual report)….let’s call them field A and field B. And if field A has values of all ‘X’ and field B has values of all ‘Y’…then….the normal case would be (ignore dots – only for spacing):
    A……………………… B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    But what if A is too long? I would want to see B wrap onto the next line like this:
    A……………………………………………………B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYY
    YYYYYYYYYYYYY
    And similarly….if B is extra long, can the line print as:
    A………………………. B
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    I don’t want the case where B is long and I get:
    A………………… …B…
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    ………………………..YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    I can see how you can wrap an individual field like that…but how can you WRAP a line of[b] fields within the frame so it wraps to the BEGINNING of the frame on next line?
    My SPECIFIC CASE
    I have a report that I have stripped down to a simple structure for the purposes of this explanation.
    My DATA MODEL has the main QUERY (for plant family and species data). The columns of the query are divided into 2 groups. The 1st GROUP contains the family data. Below that is the rest of the species data in a 2nd GROUP.
    Linking from the 2nd species group (above) is a new QUERY to extract REGION data based on the common key field. Under this 2nd query is another group with all the REGION columns.
    The LAYOUT MODEL has a group frame (the main , base one)
    On top of this is a repeating frame based on the 1st group (family data).
    On top of this is another repeating frame for the 2nd group (species data).
    On top of this is 2 Frames on the same line line. The 1st frame contains columns from the species group .
    The 2nd frame on this line is a repeating frame. The PRINT DIRECTION for this frame is ACROSS/DOWN. It repeats details of the REGION where the species is found. These columns come from this group come from the REGION QUERY and GROUP.
    All fields on the report line have variable horizontal elasticity.
    The problem is that when there is too much data on the line, it does NOT WRAP to the 2nd line.. It TRUNCATES.
    Can the line be made to WRAP????..
    In my current report, 1 of 2 things is happening:
    1) All fields print on the line until it hits the page boundary and then it just stops. Truncated!
    2) All fields print on the current line, then Oracle Reports throws a new page to print the REMAINDER of the long, input line
    But I would like a LONG line to continue printing onto the following line of the same page.
    I have tried all combinations of the elasticity fields and the ‘ADVANCED LAYOUT’ properties.
    I have been focussing my attention with this problem on the frames .
    We are using REPORT BUILDER V 6.0.8.26.0
    Thankyou to anyone who may offer assistance.
    Tony Calabrese.

    Steve,
    you gain 1 thing, but you lose something else!
    This thing is SO frustrating!
    Hey Steve! Good afternoon.
    I've done as you suggested....I have a long text boilerplate item - the only 1 on the line...and it has all the column in it.
    So it looks like:
    &col1 &col2 &col3 &col4 &col5 etc etc etc
    And the line expands nicely to each field's requirements.
    And when it gets to the right page boundary...it WRAPS to the next line! Beautiful!!!
    The only thing is that...when I had individual fields across the line I was able to create format triggers for those fields. And in doing so I was able to reduce the font and change the justification. I had to do that because some of the fields had to appear superscripted.
    So I wanted something like (ignore the dots):
    ...................................ppppp
    AAAA BBBB CCCCC DDDD EEEE FFFFFF
    So the field of 'ppppp' appeared slightly higher on the line than the other fields...
    I can't see how I can do this with a single TEXT field containing all the &COL values.
    Have you ever come across anything like this?
    Thankyou again,

  • How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

    How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

    Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
    I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
    Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
    AppleScript
    --- copy below this line ---
    property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
    if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
         display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
         return quit
    end if
    tell application "Pages"
        tell body text of front document
            set wordCnt to count words
            -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
            set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
        end tell
    end tell
    on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
         tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
         return appNameIsRunning
    end ApplicationIsRunning

  • How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1?

    How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1? We just upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, and we see no way to be able to open multiple screens at once. Before, there was a small button in the upper portion of any window. That button would take you from a particular window to the place where multiple windows are open at once. Does it do it differently? Is there a special setting button that we have missed? Thanks!
    One more thing: We are only talking about Safari.

    Guitaristica-
    I don't think I've seen a way to have separate Safari screens visible at the same time.  The small thumbnails were deleted in one of the iOS updates, and replaced with a multiple "Tab" system.
    You can open an additional screen in a new "tab" by pressing and holding on a link until a new menu comes up.

    The Scale control is what controls the size of what is printed to paper. 100% is usually the best setting.
