How to get columns of type to line up across the bottom of the page

I want to improve a newsletter I design. Right now all the leading is the same throughout. Body copy, caption & Heads. I want to add space after the paragraphs. I want the captions to have less leading than the body copy. That's doable right? Withe Baseline Grid. But how can I get the columns to line up at the bottom of the page if each one is an unpredictably different height? Maybe this is a design grid problem not a typographic one? Any suggestions?

If you use a baseline grid and space before/after your spaces must by necessity equal the leading (using the align to grid option will force them to the grid, regardless of the chosen size). The grid should match the leading of your body copy.
If you have headings that you want space before and after, don't align them to the grid, but make sure that the total of the space before, after, and leading for the style add up to a multiple of the body text leading. That will work smoothly everywhere except at the top of a column, where the space before is ignored, and will be added to the space below by virtue of the align to grid on the body copy.
If instead of having all the copy lign to the grid you just want the top and bottom lines flush, and you want the leading within the paragraphs constant, but a variable space between paragraphs, set the text frame to vertically justified, then set the maximum spacing between paragraphs to a ridiculously large number and all of the extra space required to fill the column will be split between the paragraphs.

  • How to get the column count at the bottom of the column

    Hi Friends,
    How to get the column count at the bottom of the column
    Thanks
    Raj

    You mean row count? Add another column, click on the fx button and type RCOUNT(1).
    If you want just the total you can make it MAX(RCOUNT(1)), hide this column and then add a Narrative View after your report and enter "Total Number of Records: @n" where "n" represents what order your column is from the left side.

    When capturing video; How do I get rid of the green lines at the bottom of the frame?

    You have Canon ZR950 mini DV Camcorder, why not make a firewire connection and do DV data capture into the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Capture Window?
    Do you have any reference for what you are attempting to do or is this a creation of your own? Could you confirm what you describe as "just capturing video".
    a. From your information, you are doing Get Media/Webcam or WDM Device with the Capture Window showing the Capturing Device as "Dazzle DVD 100 Video Device". What type of connection are you making between the Canon ZR950 and the Dazzle DVD 100 and the computer?
    b. What exactly do you expect to be putting on the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Timeline from this capture...DV AVI or something else?
    Coming from the perspective of Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 known issues, I would ask you to consider:
    a. Remove the check mark next to AutoAnalyzer in the Capture window. Even if you were doing this Capture the "usual way", that is highly recommended.
    b. Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and compare your results with and without a check mark next to enable GPU playback. As a cross reference, please go to Edit Header/Effects/Video Effects and detemine if there is a category of Effects named GPU Effects. Do the same thing for Edit Header/Transitions/Video Transitions and determine if there is a category of Transitions named GPU Transitions.
    And, the general drill for all users of Premiere Elements 8.0
    a. Are you working with the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer Features turned Off?
    See Premiere Elements workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/General for background rendering option and Elements Organizer workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer Options for AutoAnalzyer options.
    b. Are you working from the 8.0.1 Update version of the program?
    Please consider.
    We will be watching for the outcome.
    Thank you.

    My 2 year old has deleted my 'apps store' icon and I cannot figure out how to get it back? Doesn't seem to be available in the on-line apps store, ironically enough

    He dragged the icon out of the dock at the bottom and disappeared. That icon is merely a "shortcut" that opens the application when you click on it.
    You still have the app. Open your applications folder and look for the App Store app icon. Click and hold down on the App Store icon and drag the icon down into the dock to replace it. That puts the shortcut back into the dock.

  • How to get column header text in IWDTable

    Hi
    Just want to know how to get column header name in IWDTable.
    I know that you can get it with
    IWDAbstractTableColumn[] groupedColumns = table.getGroupedColumns();
    for (int i = 0; i < groupedColumns.length; i++) {
         IWDAbstractTableColumn column = groupedColumns<i>;
         column.getHeader().getText();
    But what if text isnt set on header level but its rendered from cellEditor  model binding (im not sure if its like that).

    Finally after your suggestion i did it with this code
    String header = column.getHeader().getText();
                       if ((header == null || header.length() == 0) && column instanceof IWDTableColumn){
                            IWDTableCellEditor tableCellEditor = ((IWDTableColumn) column).getTableCellEditor();
                            if (tableCellEditor instanceof IWDTextView){
                                 String bindingPath = ((IWDTextView)tableCellEditor).bindingOfText();
                                  StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(bindingPath,".");
                                  String token = "";
                                  IWDNodeInfo nodeInfo = context.getNodeInfo();
                                  while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()){
                                       token = tokenizer.nextToken();
                                       if (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()){
                                            nodeInfo = nodeInfo.getChild(token);          
                                  IWDAttributeInfo attribute = nodeInfo.getAttribute(token);
                                  ISimpleType simpleType = attribute.getSimpleType();
                                  simpleType.getDescription();
                                 header = simpleType.getDescription();

  • How can get a Graphics to draw line on screen?

    How can get a Graphics to draw line on screen?
    Now, I can get a Graphics to draw line based on component. For example JPanel, but I want to get a Graphics to draw line on screen.

    By drawing on the screen, I assume you mean drawing outside the bounds of a top-level window like
    JFrame or JDialog. You can't do that. At least, without going native and even then that's a dodgey thing
    for any platform to let you do. One thing you can do is simulate it with a robot's screen capture:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.image.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class X {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            Rectangle bounds = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getMaximumWindowBounds();
            BufferedImage image = new Robot().createScreenCapture(bounds);
            Graphics2D g2 = image.createGraphics();
            g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(20));
            g2.setPaint(Color.RED);
            g2.drawLine(0, 0, bounds.width, bounds.height);
            g2.drawLine(bounds.width, 0, 0, bounds.height);
            g2.dispose();
            JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
            label.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
                public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt) {
                    System.exit(0);
            JFrame f = new JFrame();
            f.setUndecorated(true);
            f.getContentPane().add(label);
            f.setBounds(bounds);
            f.setVisible(true);
    }

    Such symptoms bode serious hardware issues and you shouldn't think about fixing it yourself when you are still in waranty. Get to an Apple Store, like the other poster suggests.

  • How to get uneven distribution of blended lines

    Is there a way to achieve uneven distrubution of blended lines in Illustrator CS5? There was one other post on the web asking a similar question to this, which was solved by changing the blend spline.
    This works great for objects, but not so much for lines.
    Here is an example of what I am looking for where the top is what I would like to achieve and the bottom is the typical blend.

    I will now have to read through to see how to calculate the distance
    If you're trying to achieve a realistic distribution as if viewing the side of uniform spaced lines on a cylinder, construct it by basic orthographic projection.

  • How do I go about getting the product serial number to register my product as well as install my product.  I bought it with a product box.  On the software disc sleeve, there is a series of numbers pasted at the bottom of the sleeves but this is not valid

    How do I go about getting the product serial number to register my product as well as install my product.  I bought it with a product box.  On the software disc sleeve, there is a series of numbers pasted at the bottom of the sleeves but this is not valid.  When I tried to type this in for registration, it does register as this numbers also contain letters in it.  Apparently the registration boxes accept numbers only.  What do I do with a useless product for which I have paid good money for it?????

    This is the simple solution which was offered to me when I tried to get the serial code on line.
    The box and disc sleeve do not contain a series with 24 numbers which I presume is the product code to install.
    I tried to redeem the registration code by following what they recommended, but inevitably it gets to the page that showed the registration boxes that need 24 serial numbers and I got stuck again.
    This product is so different what my previous experiences of other software products where I just enter the serial number straight from the disc sleeve and then I got registered and go on to use the software.
    I is really frustrating, spending the last two hours trying to get my product going....

  • How to get the report summary to the bottom of the page?

    Hi all. Does anyone know how can I get the report summary to
    stick to the bottom of the page, like the page footer? Basically, I
    have a report that displays line items on an order. At the end of
    the report, there is a signatory section or acknowledgment. If I
    stick this in the page footer, then it displays at the bottom of
    the page, but on every page. If I put it on the report footer, than
    it follows immediately after the details, and not at the bottom of
    the page. What I need is the report footer to be at the bottom of
    the last page.
    Any ideas?

    Greetings. Thanks for the post. I am not having problems with
    a page number. I am having problems with getting the report footer
    contents to be at the bottom of the last page. The closest solution
    I have found is to put the content in the page footer, and then
    hide the page footer until the last page. However, this leaves
    whitespace on all of the other pages, which isn't ideal. I really
    need an attribute that allows me to set the report footer to print
    at the bottom of the page, like the page footer.

    It sounds like you have chosen a publishing template rather than a word processing template. There are two basic modes in MS Word: word processing and publishing layout. Word processing mode (and all word processing templates) have a continuous text box in the page for writing text. The publishing layout mode (and publishing templates) are documents that have text boxes placed for articles, titles, pictures, etc. Be sure to choose the word document template and you’ll get what you expect. Do not choose the word publishing document.
