How to make paragraphs line up between columns?

I want to make a 2 column chapter, with the text in each column in its own flow. But then I want some of the paragraphs to line up between columns.
So, like this:
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
I'm assuming I can't use side heads to put the first column text in, because the info on the left goes on for multiple paragraphs, and I can't seem to line up a block of paragraphs with the baseline of the appropriate right column text.
I used to do this in tables, like this:
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
! yyyyyyyyy
! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx !
xxxxxxxxxx !
xxxxxxxxxx !
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
...where the gridlines between rows and columns would be hidden. However, I sometimes need to print just the right column, which meant I had to remove the table. It's a 600-page document, I was looking for a more elegant solution.
Any suggestions?
I am using FM8.0(266) on Windows XP.

If you take the sidehead approach that Niels suggest, you could do
this, but it would be a bit of maintenance.
Have your "xxxxx" flow content sit in text frames within anchored
frames. The anchored frames are then in a special conditionalized
paragraph ("z") in the *sidehead* before every "yyyy" flow section,
e.g.
z
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyy
z
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
z
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
The "z" paragraph is just a container for the anchored frames and
should contain no text.
When you hide the "z" tags, all of the "x" flow content will then
disappear as well. You'll have to manually customize the height of
each anchored frame/text frame pair though.
To adjust the spacings between the "y" flow to match at the bottom of
the anchored frames for the "x" flows, use the sidehead paratag ("Z")
and create space above overrides in this paragraph only to adjust the
vertical spacing to keep the x and y sections in sync. This way, you
have overrides confined to only one paratag.
To make maintenance easier, it might be worth creating a FrameScript
that would adjust the height of the anchored/text frame combo based
upon the amount of content in the instructor flow and then apply the
space above override to the anchoring paratag (z).

How to make new line in JButton.setText()?

how to make new line in JButton.setText()?
I want to set the text of jbutton in tow line ,as follows
| jbutton-line1 |
| xxxxxxx-line2 |
i konw i can jbtton.settext("<html>line1<br>line2</html>");
but i find it's ugly using html,
is there anyother way to create new line in JButton's Text

As for the above comment....
I thought the question was well purposed. Using HTML was not acceptable in this instance, which was made clear, so why critisize his comments? "Using HTML" is a poor solution, it does NOT work in many instances due to browser, OS variations. Usually the "common answer" is never a COMPLETE answer.
Possible Solution:
Use JLabels to render the text on the button.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class ButtonMaker {
public static void makeButton(JButton jb, String[] titleList) {
jb.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
for (int i = 0; i < titleList.length; i++) {
JLabel tmpLabel = new JLabel(titleList);
tmpLabel.setForeground(Color.black);
jb.add(tmpLabel);
public static void clearButton(JButton jb) {
Component[] cList = jb.getComponents();
for (int i = 0; i < cList.length; i++) {
if (cList[i] instanceof JLabel)
jb.remove(cList[i]);
Known Limitations:
1. Flowlayout does not work well with single line text buttons... perhaps another layout manager may work better for various buttonsizes-linenumber combos.
2. Mac OSX : The default UI for Mac OS X (and above it seems), is to have rounded edged buttons. These rounded edges are destoryed when using JLabels, leaving a square, blocky button in its place.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
(this is ugly and time consuming)
- create images of the button with text on them.

How to make a line graph from x,y table

I have a table with x-values in one column and y-values in the next column. I want to make a line plot connecting these x,y values. It would be like a scatter plot with the points connected in order.

Many people complain that the scatter plot doesn't connect the dots. The problem is,they're right. So you can use the shpes button and select the first item, line. then draw lines between the dots yourself if you want them.
just before you print, I meant, AFTER your done with getting the data for the chart, and your definately not going to change anything. Because those lines are just object on the page, floating above all the other objects. They will not move to follow the points underneath on the chart.
Does that help explain better?

How to make a line with arrow curve around a circle?

I've got CS6 and Windows 7. Trying to make a line with an arrow on one end curve around a circle. Actually want it to have a 3D look like it was curving around the back side of a globe. How do you do this? Thanks.

Perhaps you mean something more like this
similar technique you create the arrow as a straight stroke path with an arrowhead and make it a symbol
You then make it a symbol
you than make a vertical rectangle and use the 3D Revolve Effect to make a cylinder
then you go to map art
then you choose in the map art to make the geomtery invisible
then you ma the arrow symbol and adjust the placement and then adjust the rotation of the cylinder to your likeing.
If you need a video to follow I'll do one later.

How to make a line intersect with a path at random angles?

How do you make a line intersect with the anchor point of a half circle when you want the line to continue on past the anchor point of the half circle at a random angle?

Howdy.
Try this:
Lock the semicircle. With the pen tool, draw a line from the point of origin to the anchor point of the semicircle. It will still snap even though it's locked.
Now, we use Jet's scale idea. Select the Scale Tool (S). Click on the point of origin to position the reference point. It will snap. Now, while holding down the Shift Key, drag right and down. The line segment will stay snapped to the endpoint while you drag (highlighted). You can drag it as far as you want.
That's it.
Peace,
Lee
PS: It's pretty much all Jet's method with the benefit of the OP's screenshot of what he was trying to accomplish. Jet offered the best answer, it looks like to me.

How to make curved lines in image more smooth and clear

How do i make this clear its and image, i want to make the lines really clear and smooth

Quick and dirty:
Use Gaussian blur to soften the edges, (I used a value of 2). The use levels, and drag the black and white sliders towards thge center.
Much better to create from scratch using the rough graphic as a template. If it is a one off, then just stroke a path for the circular outlines, and use a layer mask for the break in the inner circle.
For the curved text, the simplest way is to use the type tool, and then the Create warped text tool from the Options bar, but I doubt you'd get a tight enough curve, so you'll need to use Type on a path. The easiest way to do that in this case would be to drag out a circular selection with the Marquee tool using the Shift and Alt/Opt keys, and then use the Make work path from selection icon at the bottom of the Paths panel. Hover the Type cursor over the path and type your text. If you use Center justified and start at the top, to keep it symetrical, but I just get it close, and fix it with Free Transform. The rest is straight forward. I used Areil bold for curved text, and Times New Roman bold for the center text. Use a custom shape for the Tick. If the tick is not quite to your liking, use the Direct selection tool (a) to drag the points to a better shape.
If you want to use this in a layout program like InDesign, save the layered document as an EPS file, which will be (mostly) vectored and scaleable in InDesign. You'd need to use Shape layers for the two circles to make it fully vectored.

How to make the name of a column apear as many times as the column on page

Hi,
This is what i want to do:
I have a basic report looking like this:
<Column name>
value 1
value 2
value 3
value n
Since the column is small it can fit in a page more then one time. I know how to make it print more then once: i switch the repeating frame to print down and across and i modify the frame that contains it so the horizontal elasticity is variable.
After these changes my report looks like this:
<Column name>
value 1-----------------------value n+1-----------------------value m+1
value 2-----------------------value n+2-----------------------value m+2
value 3-----------------------value n+3-----------------------...
value n-----------------------value m
What i want is my report to look like this:
<Column name>-------<Column name>------------<Column name>
value 1-----------------------value n+1-----------------------value m+1
value 2-----------------------value n+2-----------------------value m+2
value 3-----------------------value n+3-----------------------...
value n-----------------------value m
Would welcome any advice on how to achieve this please.
Thank you.

Hi,
I will suggest a solution which may appear not simple. I do not know. Il did use this method, because a Government pre-printed tax form can print six values (in colum way) each page and it was not just esthetique question.
1. Seams that you can know in advance the max number of column according to the width of the page and the length of the column.
2. You can assume that you have x column at max by ligne
3. Transforms your N rows in a table of M rows, each one with x columns : you will have N/x + N mod x
4. I did this transformation using PL/SQL piplined function to transform rows to columns (by x)
5. You base your report on the Pipelined function using select ... from Table (fnc_....) syntaxe
6. make your vertical elasticity to variable and horizontal to fixed
7. Put six labels on the top of your repeating frame (within a normal frame)
I agree, it's not the solution if the requirment is just esthetic.
Hope it helps.

How to make smooth line movement?

Hello!
I've been searching it everywhere, but couldn't find anything in the net. I want to make smooth line movement. I've tried to create motion, but line just moves, and I want it to move smoothly according to the path. What I want to achieve can be seen here:
http://www.noartistname.com/demo/
But that's what I did so far - made movement out of several broken lines - how can I make more smooth movement?
Thanks,
Aleks.

the easiest for non-coders is to tween a mask of the full line. you can also use the flash drawing methods but that takes some coding. see:

How to Make a line of text smile?

Is it possible to type on a path in Motion, so I can then animate the path and make a line of text look like it is smiling? Or any advice as how I can go about this?
Thanks

I have not watched the tutorial, but was going to post that I used a 3 point bezier open line shape that I keyframed into a smile, used that as the shape in a "Geometry" layout and it worked fine...
It was a bit slow to render, but not too bad. Sorry I didn't keep it to post online...

Powl- how to make one line editable for 'Insert line' button

Hi,
I have a powl in which I have two buttons of 'Insert Line' & 'Save'.
Now in my result table - c_result_tab - I need to give one editable line, in which user can enter new record.
& after entering it when they click on 'SAVE' i'll append the record in c_result_tab.
Now my Que is - How to give Editable Line in ALV Display table of POWL, where User can enter New Record ??
or is there any other std. procedure, like popup or something - which can help to enter record in same format as c_result_tab.??

z-order for what? the Canvas class itself? It's AWT, so why would they be adding to that? For Graphics? That's not really needed, since to paint you have to override paint in a subclassed component and in there by definition you can fully control your painting.

How to Make a Line of Best Fit/Best Fit Line/Trendline in iWork Numbers '09

I'm not sure if this is well-known or has been answered elsewhere already, but multiple Google searches have not shown this solution on how to create a line of best fit in Numbers '09 (there is another method that involves drawing a line yourself, but this is much easier and more accurate).
I stumbled across this trying the above self-draw technique and got so excited I wanted to post the technique. So here is what you do:
1) Type out your X and Y data
2) Select the data and select Charts, then select the Scatter Plot
3) Open up Inspector and select the Chart tab
4) Select the "Series" tab below the picture of the Scatter Plot and the "Chart Colors..." button
5) At the bottom of the Inspector window, open the "Advanced" arrow
6) Select the "Trendline" tab and select the "Linear" trendline from the drop-down bar
That's it! You can even select the options to show the line equation or the R-squared value!
Here is a picture of the selected options and what your graph should look like (check that nice R-squared value!).
http://i.imgur.com/AvfPv.png
I hope this helps and hope it moves up to the top of the Google search page for this feature.

Hi Asclepius37,
Why not just search "trend" or "trendline" in the Numbers '09 User Guide?
That would take you to page 149 of the guide and the article "Showing Trendlines in Charts," which lists a set of instructions very similar to those in your post.
The Numbers '09 User Guide and the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide are searchable pdf files, and may both be downloaded through kinks in the Help menu in Numbers. Both are excellent resources to have on hand.
Regards,
Barry
PS: Searching "best fit" will return zero results, but "best" or "best-fit" will get you to the same article.

Hello Prashant,
You can add the control to your custom pagelayout, the following article has an example:
