How to change a 3 column template to a 2 column template?

I'm currently working on this website.
For this website, I designed a page and saved it as a template with the editable regions being the leftcolumn, middlecolumn and rightcolumn divs. I then created each page using that template.
If I wanted to change just the home page from a 3 column layout to a 2 column layout, what is the best way to do this? I know how to make a 2 column site, I just need help with how to "unlock" the template so I can modify the code.
Would I need to open my template file, save it as template2col (or something similar) and make the changes there, then create a new home page using that template and saving over the index file?
The only other way I can think of making changes like this would be to copy the code, paste into wordpad, remove the template coding and then paste back into Dreamweaver. I'm sure this is not the proper method so I thought I would ask those who know much more about working with templates than I do.
Thanks in advance for your advice

I suggested 1 template per layout because it's a practical approach that is simple enough for anyone to utilize. You don't need to be an expert with CSS. Also, this method can withstand any CSS layout you care to use -- even the DW starter pages.
While Murray's approach is sound it will require some careful pre-planning. Not all layouts are built the same way. Choosing the right framework and having the CSS skills to work with it are essential.
Use whichever methods fit your coding skills and those of the person(s) who will be maintaining this site.

How to change background image for each individual page in a template?

I've been working for hours to try to figure out how to change the background image for each individual page in a template. I have tried making a div in the body and adding a CSS and setting a background picture. Unfortunately even after I made it editable all templated webpages changed. I tried looking at different forum results which didn't really help me out. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2670005#2670005#2670005. I've also tried embeding a CSS style on the webpage instead of the external CSS which again didn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a good video that explains this clearly. Please help. Thanks.

Adjust inline styles to suit your needs.

After changed and upload modified template and change the output setting for print i can able to see the changes but logo / image can not display.
Can anyone have idea how to solve this issue ?
Can we change the template within cloud system?
If Yes than How ?
Regards,

The following are the instructions (November 2014 version of SAP Cloud for Customer)
Edit a Form Master Template
Overview
As an administrator, you can edit existing form master templates. These are used to define the header, footer, and logos used in form templates. Form master templates also contain an e-mail disclaimer that is appended to automatically generated e-mails sent to business partners when a document is output from the system.
Procedure
1. Go to Application and User Management or Administrator Business Flexibility Master Template Maintenance .
2. In the Master Template Maintenance view, select Form Master Templates from the Show menu.
3. Select the master template you want to edit and click Edit.
4. On the Form Master Template tab, do the following:
Under Header, click Upload and browse to find the file you want as logo. Adjust the size and alignment of the logo, as required.The file formats .gif, .bmp, .jpg, .png, and .tif are supported. The logo should not be larger than 40 mm width x 20 mm height. If you upload a graphic that is larger than 40 mm x 20 mm, it is resized automatically.Select the Header Divider checkbox if you want a graphical divider to appear on your form.Under Sender Address, enter your company’s address. The sender address is shown above the recipient's address in a letter.Under Footer, choose the number of footer columns you want to display. Enter the footer text exactly as you would like it to appear on the form. You can maintain up to 4 footer blocks with a maximum of 10 lines per footer.Note that the width of each footer block is equally divided over the available space. If a line of text in the footer is too long for the current font size, the system will automatically enter a line break. If this automatic line break does not meet your needs, you may need to enter the text after the line break as a separate line.To maintain multiple languages, you must first add the language from the Add menu and then maintain the texts in that language by selecting the language from the dropdown list.
5. Click the refresh button to preview your changes. From the dropdown list under Preview, you can select a country. The preview is then displayed using the country-specific template, for example, some countries do not use sender addresses or have different paper sizes.
6. On the E-Mail Disclaimer tab, you can enter a disclaimer or other company-specific legal information.
This text is appended to the main text body of e-mails that are created when a document is output by the system. It is not possible to create separate language versions of this text; therefore if your company uses multiple communication languages, you should enter all language versions of the disclaimer here.
7. Click Save and Close.
Result
If required, you can now assign the form master template to a company/org unit and/or output channel. For more information, see the Master Template Maintenance Quick Guide.
Note that master templates can be activated and deactivated for each form template in the Form Template Maintenance view. For more information, see the Form Template Maintenance Quick Guide.

How to change dispaly format of Due Date in BPA Invoice Template (11.5.10)

Hi,
I've modified the Invoice Template through template management in Bill Presentment Architecture (BPA). I copied the default layout and made the format changes, added our company logo etc. The only thing that I'm unable to do is change the format of the date Content Items like Billing Date and Due Date (TERM_DUE_DATE). Does anybody know how I can do that.
Thanks for your help
-Asif

Jassing,
Thank you for the hint about preferences. I didn't think about that.
The date formats are suppose to follow the format setup in personal preferences. But it turns out that there is a bug that just the 'Due Date' in BPA Invoice template is not following that. The other dates are displaying according to the format in preferences. So we'll be applying a patch to fix it. Hopefully that will fix it

Hi:
I am using the "Milano Resume" template. I've taken your suggestion to widen the margins, and I've added the vertical ruler on the side, but is it possible to "stretch" the main "box" of the template vertically?

How to change the constant with which you multiplied a column

Hello,
I'm making a spreadsheet with prices in Dollars and then converting them to Euros. Obviously the exchange rate changes all the time, so I was wondering how I could multiply my column A of dollar prices by the current exchange rate to get my column B of Euro prices and then change the prices when the exchange rate changes.
Is it possible to just give the new exchange rate so that my numbers in column B automatically change?
I know I can just always click c1 = b1*1,34 (for example) and then fill down, and then at a later date remove all the prices again and do C1= B1*1,30 and fill down again but I was wondering whether there was an easier way to change the Constant with which you previously multiplied a column.
Thanks for your help, I hope my question was sort of understandable!
I've looked but couldn't find a similar post, sorry if I missed it!

Hi,
This definitely helps! But is a bit inconvenient when you have lots and lots of rowns in Column A.
Oh well! I better get started.
Thank you!
That's because you are thinking about typing formulas into each an every row by hand. That would be horrendously inefficient and people would despise designing spreadsheets if it had to be done that way.
Using Jerry's example as the starting point,
Type the formula =B3*C$1 into cell C3 and hit enter.
Select cell C3
Drag down on the little circle at the bottom right corner of the selection box to complete the column. Alternatively, you can Copy then select the rest of the column and Paste.

How to change the text alignment of an adf table column

Hi everyone
I have a read only adf table that uses banding. What I want to do is change the text align property of one of it's columns but the task seems not at all trivial.
I tried entering a value for the text-align property in the inline style of the specific af:column tag and failed. I then tried to do the same for the af:outputText element inside the column but still nothing worked. I even created a css style and changed the StyleClass attribute on each or both elements without any luck.
Can anybody shed some light here ...
Thanassis

Specify the text-align in a css.

How to change the Y-axis scale for 100% stacked column to percentage ?

Hi,
I add a 100% stacked column chart to a report in Crystal Report for Enterprise. As default, the Y-axis scale shows value from 0 to 1 and the data labels display absoluted data value. Now I want the Y-axis scale to show value from 0% to 100% and the data labels to display percentage value.
Please tell me which option of the chart to adjust ?
Thanks
Mau Vu Huu
The default is like screenshot below:
I want it to display as screenshot below:
thanks
Mau Vu Huu

Looks like a bug in CR for Enterprise.
The same chart shows a scale from 0% to 100% in the CR 2011 designer whereas CR for Enterprise seems to show a number range from 0 to 1.
Here's a workaround:
1) Insert a Crosstab. 'Column' should be the field you wish to show on the 'X-axis'. 'Row' should be the field that you wish to stack up on the bars. Summary should be the measure field
2) Next, right-click one of the summary cells on the Crosstab > Select Format Total > Total > Check 'Show as Percentage of' > Grand Total > Row
3) Right-click the Crosstab > Select Create Chart from Crosstab Data
4) Suppress the section that holds the Crosstab
5) Right-click the chart > Edit Chart Type > Choose 'Stacked Column'
6) Highlight one of the numbers of the Y-axis > Select Format Total (Y) axis > Format > Currency > Choose 'Fixed' under 'Symbol Format' > Replace '$' under Symbol to '%' > Change Symbol Position to '-123$'.

How to change default directory of exe file

I have created a VI that reads a template and writes on the template and saves it to a new file. When i created to an exe file, I would like for this exe to be able to be used on any computer. As such, the directory where i will open my template will change on different computers. Hence I am having this problem of how to change my VI such that it will choose this template in a new computer and set it as its default directory.
I understand that in my own computer, I can simple "set current values as default" so that my VI will always open this file from a particular path. But what i need help with is when i put it on another computer where the particular path would definitely be different. I tried using the config file.vi but I could not understand how it is used.
Please assist me in this. Thanks

Hi Aaron,
Micorsoft suggest to use folders like UserAppData to store files for your own programs.
Put your template in there and use GetSystemDir function to get the UserAppData path...
Or you put the template in the program folder or one of it's subfolder (not recommended by MS) and use a relative path to load it...

I modified the budget categories on the numbers template so now the transaction tab does not communicate with the budget tab. I figured out how to change the drop down options but how do I get it to reflect on my budget sheet? Please help.

If you are familar with the Numbers Budget Template it has two tabs 'Budget' and 'Transactions'. If you use the template as it is designed when you input expenses on the transaction tab it will automatically add that amount into the selected category on the budget tab. I have madified my budget tab to reflect the caegories that I need, which included adding several to the template. I also added to the table so it reflects my income and expenses so I can track where I am at with a glance. Since I did this, I can't get my transactions tab to communicate with the budget tab. I figured out how to change the options in the drop down box for category but I con't figure out how to get it to reflect onto my budget tab. I'm sure that it is an easy fix, however, I am just not well versed in Numbers. I appreciate your time in helping me with this issue.
Respectfully,
Jon

My guess is that while you added catetories to your Budget Sheet by adding new lines and filling in the category column, you didn't also add the formulas to these new budget lines.
The proper way to add those lines would have been to select a cell in the line just above where you want to add a line and type Option/Alt-DownArrow. This would have copied the formulas into the new line. Maybe you did this, and maybe not. You didn't give details on how you added the lines.
Select C2 and D2 and Command-C to copy them to the Clipboard.
Select all the cells of Columns C and D except for the top and bottom rows and Command-V to Paste.
If I have properly guessed the problem, you should be in business. This assumes that your Categories are exaclty the same as the entries in your Pop-up menus. Spelling counts, as does case.

How in Flash CS4 to change text words of .fla file from a website template?

I have a website template in which I am trying to change the header text words and menu text words to customize the template. How do I do this in Flash CS4? Thanks!

There are any number of ways these text elements might have been designed into the file. So you pretty much have to search for things. If you do not see the text that you want to change when you open the fla file, then you may need to either make some layers visible that are not (eyeball icon next to layer name) or you may need to look into the actionscript code to see if the text is being dynamically written when the file opens. If you happened to receive any .as, .txt, or .xml files with the template, the text elements may also be defined in those files.
Just so you know, and this is just an observation, it appears from experience in these forums that template designers tend to make templates so that you are more likely to hire them to update things than to be able to solve it yourself.

How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

hi All
That's great when using SQL Dev.
But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
Appreciate for anyone to help us.
Thanks all.
Sigmasvn

You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.
