How to set paragraph format in Pages?

I'm a novelist. I have had trouble setting and maintaining a paragraph format in Pages. I've manually created a format then copied and pasted that format, but it doesn't maintain the indentations and spacing I want.
I've completely left Word, although it's quite easy to set paragraph format and indentation there.
I want to write my new novel exclusively in Pages. Can anyone help?
Tom

How to create paragraph format in smartforms

Hi All,
Let me know how to create paragraph format in smartforms?
Thanks&Regards
Mahesh

Hi
When we create a smartform we can see in global settings , form attributes.
In form attributes we set the over all style of the smartform. Goto form attributes and open the tab output options. Here you can see the Style box. In this style box we enter the smartstyle created in transaction code smartstyles.
Open transaction smartstyles.
Create a new style.
Upon creating a new style you will see 3 folder structures under style name.
1. Header data
2. Paragraph format
3. Character format
To create paragraph format right click on the paragraph format node and click Create Node. Give it name. Now you will get a screen with 4 tabs.
Indents and spacing
Fonts
Tabs
Numbering and outline
Here you can provide the look you want.
Now add this smartstyle in your smartform's form attribute.
You can also provide individual smartstyles to each text element you create by giving the name of smartstyle in its output options tab. Each text element has a individual output option tab here you can give any smartstyle.
Click on the general attribute tab of any text element and give the paragraph format directly or by going to SAPScript editor mode.
Any more questions you can ask me directly mailing me.
Please do reward points if satisfied.

How to set media format in IMFMediaSource

I'm, trying to implement a grabber using IMFMediaSource, IMFMediaSession and IMFTopology. I built a topology including the IMFMediaSource and an IMFSampleGrabberSinkCallback. My problem is how to set the current media format. I found a function in msdn:
HRESULT cMFDevice::setDeviceFormat(IMFMediaType *i_type)
IMFPresentationDescriptor *presentationDescriptor = nullptr;
HRESULT hr = m_mediaSource->CreatePresentationDescriptor(&presentationDescriptor);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
BOOL selected = FALSE;
IMFStreamDescriptor *streamDescriptor = nullptr;
hr = presentationDescriptor->GetStreamDescriptorByIndex(0, &selected, &streamDescriptor);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
IMFMediaTypeHandler *handler = nullptr;
hr = streamDescriptor->GetMediaTypeHandler(&handler);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
hr = handler->SetCurrentMediaType(i_type);
SafeRelease(&handler);
SafeRelease(&streamDescriptor);
SafeRelease(&presentationDescriptor);
return hr;
That function works. But only once. If I start the session and stopped it, the current format does change. All return values are fine, but format does not changes in OnProcessSample callback. Any ideas? Do I have to rebuilt complete topology? Must I stop
the session?

How to set 1inch margins on Pages program?

The Chaser was a gang of Aussie comedians who in one running skit used to years ago invade actual people's workplaces dressed as Clippy and annoy them with stupid questions and suggestions.
One of their best ever stunts was dressing up as Osama bin Laden and gate crashing the 2007 Sydney APEC security in their own cavalcade.
Nobody caught on until they got out of the car.

Sydney was virtually shut down at huge expense for a vanity fest* that had nonsense security.
Of course the Government and their right wing Murdoch cheer squad were livid.
We have along history of doing this. A student jumped the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Torch relay handing over a torch made from a stick with a Jam Tin nailed on top, fooling the Mayor of Sydney. Unlike every other country on Earth who may or may not merely suspect their figures of authority are maybe idiots, we actually know that they are!

How to set MQMD format to String through JMS?

any inputs on how to set the message format (MQFMT) to string (MQSTrforcibly using JMS?
I have an application which writes a TextMessage to a remote Queue which is being received in MQHRF2 format.

According to "http://www.share.org/proceedings/sh98/data/S1104.PDF"
You can do something like
queue.setTargetClient(JMSC.MQJMS_CLIENT_NONJMS_MQ);
To set the Target as NONJMS client, so that it will accept Text message.
Hope this helps...

How to set bottom margin on pages

how do I set bottom margins on pages document. The printer always cuts it off

That may just be part of your printer's non-printable area.
Most printers do not print right to the edge with a large margin at the bottom of the sheet.
To find out exactly where your printer prints, make a grey box to fill your entire page then print that, The white margins are non-printing.

How to set the title of pages created in Webcenter Spaces?

Hi
I need to set the title of the pages created in webcenter spaces. How can i do that? By default when i create the page in webcenter spaces the page name with which i created the page is coming up on the browser tab. But i want the browser title to be different from the page name. Is there a way to do this? I tried with using javascript and setting "document.title" but it works only partially. That is when the page is loading it shows the text that i have set using javascript but it doesnot remain persistent. As soon as the page loads it again resets back to the name of the page :(
I also tried adding html markup on to the page in edit mode and tried giving in the <title> tag but it is not getting applied, as soon as i click on apply it just refreshes the page and my changes are gone.
Please i need some help around this asap as it is critical.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Jaap.
It was really helpful. But i need further help on this.
I need to change the browser title based on the tab selected. And here the tabs on spaces page is actually coming from a custom task flow. Any idea how can i achieve this? And there is no page refresh involved.
Some help on this please.
Thanks
