How to mark table text as placeholder text

I have a Pages document that I would like to turn into a template. I have laid the document out on a table. Some of the table text I would like to mark as placeholder text. I can see the option on the Format ---> Advanced menu, and I can select table text and click to supposedly apply the option, but, the option is not applied. When I click the text in the template, it remains ordinary text. I can mark text that is in the body no problem, just not when it is in the table.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestion.

How can I force text in a table to wrap at the margin? Chinese characters result in wide tables.

Hello all ye RoboHelpers out there.
Background:
We're using RH 9 (latest patch) on Windows 7 machine.
We document in English and then the RH project gets localized into many diff languages and we use that to generate CHM, and Printed outputs.
The Problem:
In the Chinese language, in printed output, the right border of most tables exeeds well beyond the margin.
Here's what the localized table looks like in the RH editor:
By comparison, here's the equivalent English topic prior to localization:
Our CHM output is fine. In fact, here's what the Chinese looks like in when output to a browser or previewed and I drag the right side to
a narrower width. Notice that the table text appropriately wraps to remain within the window's size:
But here's what it looks like when I generate it in Word's printed output:
Notice the location of the margin at 6.5 inches. It should be wrapping at the margin. And something is weird with the left cell how it's getting pushed so far to the right.
The actual table width ends up around 11 inches! I had some tables last time I did this that were as far out as 18 inches but looked perfectly fine in English!
We use Across Systems for our localization tool, and I've verified that our translators are not messing with the table properties at all; only the text is exposed. One interesting difference I've noticed from other languages, is that Chinese characters do not contain a true space or period characters when we get them back from localization. This makes sentences essentially a really long string of unbroken characters, and I suspect this somehow pushes the generated tables to wide extremes in printed output.
What I've Tried:
I've tried to change the table properties in Word to auto fit the size of the window.
I've tried setting the width in RH to a specific size and regenerating. Still doesn't help.
I've added in space character and doing that does cause lines to wrap in some cases, but not in all. But I shouldn't have to do this.
I've tried to create a VBA macro in Word to size the tables, but couldn't get it to work.
What I need:
I need to somehow globally force all the tables' text strings to wrap once they reaches the right margin no mater what, even if the line does not contain space characters. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere, either on the RH side or the Word side that can do this for these long strings of characters?
I really hope someone else has figured out how to deal with this because last time I did this, I had to go through approximately 500 tables and manually do a very convoluted workaround dragging the table handle in Print layout mode back to the right margin to get the table to wrap appropriately. It was a major pain in neck!
Many thanks in a advance for any ideas you might have.

I wonder the Format Tables macros on my site could be adapted?
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/word/word_macros.htm
If not, I have used Macro Express to format tables in Rh. No reason it could not be used in Word.

How Can I Set a Default Placeholder Text Language?

How can I set a default placeholder text language instead of having to set the language every time I use placeholder text?

I think the default placeholder text language is the language of your version of InDesign.
The placeholder text is based on the current language setting. So if the language under the cursor is Hebrew, you'll get Hebrew.

How are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?

Hello,
how are attribute and text master data tables linked in SAP R/3?
Most tables with attribute master data like T001 for company codes,
have a text master data table T001T (add "T" to table name).
When looking at the content of table T001 via transaction se11,
the text are automatically joined.
But for some tables there is no "T"-table (e.g. table TVBUR for sales offices
has no text table TVBURT), but in se11 you get texts. There is an address
link in TVBUR, but the Name1, etc. are empty.
a) Where are the text stored?
b) How does the system know of the link?
Hope someone can help!
Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas
The master and text table are not linked by name, of course, if you see the text table, it has the same key fields of master table, only it has the field key spras and the field for description.
The link beetween the tables is done by foreign key: if you check the text table TVKBT u need to see how the foreign key for field VKBUR is done:
-> Foreing key with table TVBUR
-> Foreing key field type -> KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE
->Cardinality-> 1-:CN
It's very important the attribute sets for Foreing key field type, if it's KEY FIELD FOR A TEXT TABLE, it'll mean the table is a text table: i.e. that mean the master table is a check table for the text table, where the foreign key type is for text table.
U can find out the text table of master table by SE11: GoTo->Text Table
U can fined some information in table DD08L.

How do I make text vertical in a table

You need to type the text in a Textbox, turn off text wrap, rotate that 90° using the Metric Inspector then position it over the cells you want the text vertical.

How to attach a text table to database table

How to attach a text table to another database table,
Ex: If we check Mara table and GoTO menu select text table it is displaying MAKT table, how to link that?

create another table with foriegn key relation with the key field and in the check table give the primary key table and in the text table include sparas field.
JUAT SAME AS CREATING ANOTHER TABLE WITH FORIEGN KEY RELATION but THE ANOTHER TABLE INCLUDES SPRAS (LANGUAGE KEY)
A text table is a table that contains spoken-language descriptions of values in a check table. These descriptions are stored in multiple languages. The primary key of the text table is the same as the primary key of the check table, with the addition of a spras (language) column.
For example, the ztxt005 table has country codes in it. Country names are stored in a separate table named ztxt005t (shown in Figure 4.7) because you actually need many names for one country code. Because it stores language-specific descriptions of a generalized code, ztxt005t is called a text table.
The primary key of ztxt005t contains the same fields as the primary key of ztxt005, with the addition of a spras (language) column. The spras field contains the language code and enables this table to contain a description for multiple logon languages.
The primary key of any text table is composed of the fields mandt and spras, followed by the validation field (or fields). One or more description fields follow this primary key.
A foreign key relationship is defined on ztxt005t-land1 to check table ztxt005. The foreign key field type should be key fields of a text table.

Anyone know how to make vertical text in a table in keynote?

anyone know how to make vertical text in a table in keynote?

Just to add a bit more about this question. I have seen in other related questions that this feature (vertical text) is not available in (apparently) the whole iWork09. someone even said that it should be asked to the developers, so they include this feature in iWork10. I find this issue a bit sad. This feature has been present in msOffice since a while, and at least for me, this is quite important for my work. It is also apparently not possible to have different page orientation in the same document, meaning portrait and landscape, so one can have wide tables in a whole page, for example. If this is true, it is again sad, and I just cannot understand why such a basic feature is not available in an already 09 version. I am using only the trial version of iWork, but already in the first day I have discovered that I actually cannot do what I was used to. Again sadly I (and many others I guess) will have to stick to Office until the mac software is fully developed.

How to make tables move with text

In Pages '09 and Pages 5.0, tables that I set to move with text do not move with text. They overlap text. That is, the table and non-table text occupy the same space, which does not seem to be the intention behind "move with text". In Pages 5.0, I try to fix the problem by selecting a text wrap option such as "Above and below", since I do want text above my table and below my table and I want the table to move with the text when the text changes. But choosing "Above and below" automatically changes the object placement option from "Move with Text" to "Stay on Page", so the table does not move with the text. Re-choosing "Move with Text" once again makes the table and the text overlap, which renders the document unusable.
I have been frustrated with this behavior for years. I got around it in Pages '09 by using linked text boxes and putting tables outside the text boxes or by putting multi-page tables in their own text boxes without any other text. Since Pages 5.0 does not have linked text boxes, my old work-arounds are no longer possible.
I must be missing something simple here. What is it?
Thanks for any help.
Rick

If the Table is an inline object then it follows the rules of the text it is sitting in.
ie Line Spacing, Space Before and Space After.
The Line Spacing is the crucial specification. The Table should be in its own paragraph and have Line Spacing Multiple set, usually to 1, with before and after spacing to set it off from surrounding text.
Inline Objects are one case where you should use Multiple Line Spacing because they vary in size and it is best to let Pages work out what space to give them.

How to display a text in smartform without compression

If you want your text to be read-only, you can use the RichText component instead of TextArea. Search for Text Layout Framework for more info on how to mark up your text.

This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

How Do I Wrap Text Like the iOS Camera App?

Hello. I am in yearbook, and I have been challenged with designing the cover of the yearbook, and I have been having a few problems along the way. One of these problems is to wrap text. Specifically, I'm stuck on how I would wrap text like the iOS camera app on the bottom of the screen. The words seem like they are wrap around a 3D object to give it that effect, but I can't really tell. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

The only use the iPad and iPod cameras get is Facetime. No iOS apps are use to work on images they have no value when you have Photoshop. The iPod is better for displaying image then the iPad mini it has a 3:2 aspect ratio display and travels better the the mini iPad which has a 4:3 aspect ratio display. I also crop image for display on wall mounted HDTV. The iPad is better for casual internet access then the iPod. All our kids have iPhones and they all use computers either Mac or PC for work and internet access. When you have a Unix or Windows why would you want to touch an iOS device for work or serious internet access. Apple mobile devices are convenient for casual use and grand kids don't get that dirty finger painting on them as they do using real paint. Nothing of real value is maintained on an iOS device.
Well...there's Photoshop Touch and Photoshop Mix as well as Lightroom Mobile. It could be argued that they're don't exactly mirror their desktop cousins, yes, but they weren't meant to be. They were meant as extensions to the desktop experience. (e.g., Lightroom Mobile lets one work with the RAW images they have in their Lightroom desktop collections.)
The more powerful Windows tablets can run Photoshop desktop (like Photoshop CC) too.
