How to justify text vertically in multi-column frame

How do I justify text vertically in a multi-column frame but within the baseline grid?
Working at a very busy publication, fitting text evenly in multi-column text boxes are crucial to be done quickly! I understand that it can be done manually by adjusting the tracking in order to force the text to end evenly on bottom. However I'm looking to achieve that result automatically, pretty much like the "Justify Vertically" feature except by doing so it spreads the last column lines out, but I need to keep the text on the grid.

How to justify text in a TextInput vertically

So I have a simple question: how can you justify text in a TextInput vertically?

Yeah, sorry, I should have given more details. Basically I have a TextInput component with a height of 48 so even though it is a one line component it looks like there is a lot of space below the text. The component in question is created dynamically during run-time. So I was tasked with making the text appear in the middle (vertically) of the TextInput. Is this not possible at all? Surely there is some way to do it.
Here is the Actionscript code that creates the components:
import fl.controls.TextInput;
import flash.text.TextFormatAlign;
var gridArr:Array = new Array();
var w = 80;
var h = 48;
var rowNumber = 10;
var startX = 5;
var startY = 30;
var newTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
newTextFormat.font = "Arial";
newTextFormat.size = 16;
newTextFormat.bold = true
newTextFormat.color = 0x1E1E1E;
newTextFormat.align = TextFormatAlign.JUSTIFY;
newTextFormat.leading = 5;
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 8; i++)
gridArr[i] = new Array();
for (var j:Number = 0; j < rowNumber; j++)
   var newCell:Cell = new Cell();
   newCell.initialize(i, j);
   newCell.cellText.setStyle("textFormat", newTextFormat);
   newCell.cellText.width = w;
   newCell.cellText.height = h;
   newCell.x = (i*w) + startX;
   newCell.y = (j*h) + startY;
   //newCell.cellText.text = "("+newCell.gridX+","+newCell.gridY+")";
   //newCell.cellText.tabEnabled = false;
   gridArr[i][j] = newCell;
for (j = 0; j < rowNumber; j++)
for (i= 0; i < 8; i++)
addChild(gridArr[i][j]);

How to use a vertical line as column separator in Pages?

I have a two-column document (a questionnaire) in which I'd like to have a thin vertical line separating the text columns for the sake of clarity. I've tried inserting a floating line using "Insert Shape" but it doesn't appear to like living between the columns. I see these column separators quite a bit in published multi-column layouts, so I figure that I'm not completely crazy. Can anybody offer a suggestion?
Charlie Perdue

Thanks... that did it! I had (mistakenly) assumed that once the line was "floating" that it wouldn't interact with the text any more, so that I didn't have to worry about the whole "wrap" issue.
Thanks for the quick response.

How to justify text in a file?

How do I right justify text in a file? For example:
Checking 500
Savings 50
Loan 300
NetWorth 1000
Insurance 1000
This is how I want my file to be formatted when it is created. Does anyone know of a way to right justify the numbers? I tried to use the "\t", tab but it doesn't work.
Thanks

There is no magical way to do this. Tabs can be treated differently be every editor. You must add spaces between the title and the amount yourself.
If, however, you are going to display the text file in a JTextPane then you could delimit the title and amount with a tab character and then configure the JTextPane to right justify the amount.

How to align text vertically?

This seems like it should be really easy: On a simple text slide, how do I align multiple lines of text vertically? Do I have to eyeball it, or is there a way to fix it exactly in the center, top to bottom?

Hi -
There is no automatic way, but there is a way to make it slightly easier.
After you enter your text, grab the clip of type and move it to a portion of the timeline where there are no other clips.
In the Canvas click on the button on the top right and select Checkerboard:
!http:/www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/CanvasCheckerboardBG.jpg!
This will make the background a checkerboard so you can count the squares to verify the top and bottom line are equidistant from the TV Safe Guidelines:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/CanvasCheckerBoardExample.jpg!
When you are done positioning the type, grab the clip and place it above the clip you originally wanted it to appear over.
You can either leave the Canvas set to display a checkerboard when there is no video present, or switch it back to Black.
Hope this helps.

How to increase text size of a Column header of table in webdypro

Hi All,
Can anybody suggest me how to increase the text size of a column header of table in webdyrpo. I didnt find any option anywhere. can anybody help me out to solve this issue?
Regards
Ravikumar

Hi Ravikumar,
As Sukanta has suggested create a Simpletype of String Type and Length 40.
Then create a context for the column header and for its type, instead of choosing
from the drop down, choose the 3 dots.
In the window that appears, select Local Dictionary, and Select the Simpletype
that you have created, from the respective package name. And click OK.
This will make the text of ColumnHeader of type String and Length 40.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Alka.

How to display a listView vertically with multi columns?

Hi,
Refer to the sample HTML
ListView item templates sample. If I want to display the listView (in scenario1.html) in three columns with vertical scroll bar, what should I do?
I try to change 'layout' property of listView from 'GridLayout' to 'ListLayout' in scenario1.html, like this:
<div id="listView"
class="win-selectionstylefilled"
data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView"
data-win-options="{
itemDataSource: myData.dataSource,
itemTemplate: regularListIconTextTemplate,
selectionMode: 'none',
tapBehavior: 'none',
swipeBehavior: 'none',
layout: { type: WinJS.UI.ListLayout }
}">
</div>
The listView will be vertical but with only one column.

You should modify your Template to something like:
<table >
<tbody>
<tr data-win-control="WinJS.Binding.Template" id="regularListIconTextTemplate" >
<td data-win-bind="textContent:a"></td>
<td data-win-bind="textContent:b"></td>
<td data-win-bind="textContent:c"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
And position that Table where you want the items to appear. I put some binding examples (attributes a,b and c) but you use whatever attributes and content you need in each column.
For a working example I used the following HTML on an empty "default.html":
<div id="listView" class="win-selectionstylefilled" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView" data-win-options="{ layout: { type: WinJS.UI.ListLayout } }">
</div>
<table >
<tbody>
<tr data-win-control="WinJS.Binding.Template" id="regularListIconTextTemplate" >
<td data-win-bind="textContent:a"></td>
<td data-win-bind="textContent:b"></td>
<td data-win-bind="textContent:c"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Then on the default.js I used:
app.onactivated = function (args) {
if (args.detail.kind === activation.ActivationKind.launch) {
if (args.detail.previousExecutionState !== activation.ApplicationExecutionState.terminated) {
// TODO: This application has been newly launched. Initialize
// your application here.
} else {
// TODO: This application has been reactivated from suspension.
// Restore application state here.
args.setPromise(WinJS.UI.processAll());
var chartlines = new Array();
chartlines.push({a: '1-1', b: '1-2', c: '1-3' });
chartlines.push({ a: '2-1', b: '2-2', c: '2-3' });
chartlines.push({a: '3-1', b: '3-2', c: '3-3' });
chartlines.push({a: '4-1', b: '4-2', c: '4-3' });
var listView = document.getElementById("listView").winControl;
listView.itemTemplate = document.getElementById("regularListIconTextTemplate");
listView.itemDataSource = (new WinJS.Binding.List(chartlines)).dataSource;
Hi,
Essentially, this method creates an one-column listView, too. My purpose is to create a vertical listView with three items in each row.
If I add a rotation style to the listView in 'scenario1.html' of the sample HTML
ListView item templates sample, like this:
<div style ="transform:rotate(90deg)" id="listView"
class="win-selectionstylefilled"
data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView"
data-win-options="{
itemDataSource: myData.dataSource,
itemTemplate: regularListIconTextTemplate,
selectionMode: 'none',
tapBehavior: 'none',
swipeBehavior: 'none',
layout: { type: WinJS.UI.GridLayout }
}">
</div>
The listView seems to 'vertical', and is like what I want. But, I do not change the listView essentially. The listView I want is that which layouts vertically and has three separated items in each row.

How to get text vertically centred in Li box

I am updating our company website in another area of the system which is why you'll see a tf in the web address I am about to give.
http://www.essentialfinance.net/tf/products/reconciling/accruals_manager.asp
Now, the problem I have is that the options in the boxes are aligned to the top.
I have had quite a problem understanding how to get these boxes to work so that they highlight when hovered etc, but eventually got there through some tutorial which seems to create a nav class hanging off the ul.
I have tried altering everything in the ul.nav, ul.nav li, ul.nav a regarding getting the text to vertical align centred but no success.
The css file is here:
http://www.essentialfinance.net/tf/main.css
I put that link in since someone may be able to pick out my faults.
I have only put a link to # (goes nowhere) to get the <a> code initialised.....
By the way - don't worry about the colour scheme... it's only temporary to test the functionality.
And I would not wander anywhere else in the site - it's a shambles which is why i'm looking at it.
Can anyone please advise? Thank you very much in advance for any feedback.

How to write text vertically in an table cell?

Is it possible to make a table cell where the
text would be written along a vertical base line?
I found how to make a text box and rotate it
vertically.
How may I place such a text box in a table cell?
dan

Hello daniel,
if the table will not be resized or repositioned a lot, the best way to display what you want to have is to create a textbox with the styles and adjustments you need, rotate it and place it over the table cell. Be sure to make the cell big enough to pretend the text of the textbox would be inside of it. The textbox has to be a fix positioned object in the top layer.
It's only a work-around, but the best you can achieve.
Frank.
