How to use font Symbol and Zapfdingbats. in Pages for iPad

Pages for ipad has font options of Symbol and Zapf Dingbats. I would like to use one of these fonts to place arrows in lines of text. Does anyone know how to do this? I am using IOS6 and ipad 3

Does Pages on the iPad have an Inspector panel? In the Mac version, it's a round blue button in the icon bar at the top of the window.
If you've got that in the iPad's Pages app, then you can use it to manually raise or lower the baseline of one or more characters, then use the font size to make them smaller. Superscripting after a numeral can be automatic (in the Mac version) by setting that in the Prefs.
You can probably tell I don't have my iPad yet.

The only choices you have in the iPad itself are to change the keyboard or change the user interface language. If that doesn't do what you want, probably best ask the people who make Papers.

Tables and cells in Pages for iPad

I am using Pages for iPad. I am writing in a table and when I write a large content in a cell, it desappears on the bottom of the page.
Is there any way to make the cell to split automatically when it reaches the bottom of the page?
Thank you for your answers.

You could send your need to Apple and maybe they will add it.
Send feedback/suggestions to Apple.

How to put pictures inside the table in Pages for IPad?

How can I put pictures inside the table in Pages for IPad? I can do that in Pages in my macbook, but I can't in IPad.

It would appear that unless you are working from a document that already had section breaks (or the equivilent) ,you can't. I have some files in pages that began as MS Word documents with multiple sections that allow that by tapping on the footer (or header) and making the change. Files created in Pages (or from other sources but without section beaks) do not.

How do I "tab" in between columns in Pages for iPad?

As stated above, I need to know how to use a tab key in pages for Ipad. Not how to set a tab, but how to move between them. thanks

You can only tab from field to field on the iPad with an external keyboard. Most folks use a Bluetooth keyboard, either Apple's or one of a number of 3rd party keyboards. Some folks have also successfully used a USB keyboard connected to the iPad with the USB port provided by the Apple Camera Connection Kit.

How do I zoom in and out in Pages for the iPad?

I'm using Pages on my iPad (1), but don't seem to be able to zoom in. The "pinch open to zoom in" doesn't seem to work, it just springs back when I take my fingers off the screen. Am I missing something? I have no problem zooming in using pinch open in e.g. Safari or Keynote.

I can get two options — Actual size and fit on screen. According to the help section if you use 2 fingers and 'quickly' pinch out you can get a view at 200 per cent. It has never worked for me.

How can I create a line break in pages for iPad?

On the Mac you can hold the shift key while pressing the return key to creat a line break. Only pressing the return key will creat a new paragraph of course.
On the iPad you only can creat paragraphs. Pressing the shif key does not change that.
Does anybody know how to force a linebrek on the pages app for iPad?

Tap and hold where you wish to insert the line break. Select Insert from the pop up menu, then Line break.

Search and replace in Pages for ipad

Does Pages do this? Or anything else in the app store?

Try this:
Turn on Show Invisibles in the View menu.
Select (highlight) the double para breaks.
Use Command-E (Find using selected text).
Open the Find dialogue box (Command-F) and select Find & Replace.The selected para breaks will be in the Find text entry box, but will not be visible!
Click in the Replace text entry box.
Select (highlight) a single para break.
Go to the Edit menu / Find and select 'Use selection for replace' (it will not show in the Replace entry box).
In the Find & Replace dialogue box, click on the Forward or Back arrows to highlight the selected items (e.g. double para break) where you wish to start replacing in the document.
Use the Replace All / Replace & Find / Replace buttons as per usual.
Not a nice solution, but I hope it gets you going until Apple restores the previous functionality!

Problem for getting the real path using one servlet and one jsp page

I have one tomcat machine and several virtual domains. Eahc virtual domain has one realpath in the disc.
I am using one servlet and one jsp page for using this servlet.
my purpose is to load, using the servlet , the real path for the domains (eahc domain has its path).
for this i make this:
the servlet code is this:

String abspath = myContext.getRealPath("/");
//here i want to return the real path
return abspath;
public static void main(String args[]){
and the jsp page is:

Can anyone help me?
thanks

i have put this into one sevlet:

How to use field-symbols in MODIFY ... TRANSPORTING and SORT

Hi,
I need to increase the performance of an abap report using the field-symbols. More exactly the code is the following.
TYPES:
BEGIN OF itab_structure.
     INCLUDE STRUCTURE nameofstructure.
TYPES:
     RECNO   LIKE sy-tabix,
END OF itab_structure.
DATA:
itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itab_structure
       WITH HEADER LINE
       WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 0.
SORT itab ASCENDING BY f1.
LOOP AT itab WHERE f1 = '10'.
    itab-fn= value-n.
MODIFY itab
             TRANSPORTING fx fy fz ft
                    WHERE f1   = c1_filed AND
                                  f2   = c2_field.
ENDLOOP.
I need your suggestions in this kind of conversion or solution.
SORT itab ASCENDING BY f1 (<-- I don't know if in this case the better performances should be obtained using field symbols and in which way)
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_itab_line> TYPE LINE OF itab.
LOOP AT itab ASSIGNING <fs_itab_line> WHERE
<fs_itab_line>-f1 = '10'.
MODIFY itab
             TRANSPORTING fx fy fz ft
                    WHERE f1   = c1_filed AND
                                  f2   = c2_field.
(I don't know if in this case the better performances should be obtained using field symbols and in which way)
ENDLOOP.
I wish to implement the field symbols or the better performance in terms of execution time in all my abap code, where it is possible.
Any suggestion will be well appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your kind support.
Regards,
       Giovanni

Dear All,
I have appeciated your suggestions and I can conclude these points in my case:
1) The "sort" statement is not optimized in a different way using filed-symbols
2) The loop with "where" condition on a standard table is performed using filed-symbols
But ... my last point to investigate is about the statement MODIFY table TRANSPORTING f1, f2 WHERE conditions.
More exactly, in my code the execution logic of the abap code expects a global modification of the same table at the end of every (primary) loop, using the MODYFY statement.
In other words in my code I can locate two loops on the same table in the following logic:
LOOP AT table1 WHERE f1 = '10'. (#1)
      updates to table1
      set c1_filed, c2_filed
      LOOP AT table1.   (#2)
         IF f1 = c1_filed AND
            f2 = c2_filed.
           table1-fx = 'x'.
           table1-fy = 'y'.
           table1-fz = 'z'.
           table1-ft = 't'.
         ENDIF.
         MODIFY table1.
      ENDLOOP.   (#2)
ENDLOOP.   (#1)
In better way (maybe more fast in terms of execution time) to modify a set of lines (MODIFY...TRANSPORTING...WHERE):
LOOP AT table1 WHERE f1 = '10'.
   table1-fx= 'x'.
   table1-fy= 'y'.
   table1-fz= 'z'.
   table1-ft= 't'.
   MODIFY itab
      TRANSPORTING fx fy fz ft
   WHERE f1 = c1_filed AND
         f2 = c2_field.
ENDLOOP.
My aim is to use field-symbols everywhere possible for speeding up the execution of my code,by maintaining this logic.
My proposal should be the following but I need your kind opinion.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_#1_line> TYPE LINE OF table1.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_#2_line> TYPE LINE OF table1.
LOOP AT table1 WHERE f1 = '10' ASSIGNING <fs_#1_line>. (#1)
      updates to table1
      set c1_filed, c2_filed
      LOOP AT table1 ASSIGNING <fs_#2_line>. (#2)
         IF <fs_#2_line>-f1 = c1_filed AND
            <fs_#2_line>-f2 = c2_filed.
           <fs_#2_line>-fx = 'x'.
           <fs_#2_line>-fy = 'y'.
           <fs_#2_line>-fz = 'z'.
           <fs_#2_line>-ft = 't'.
         ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.   (#2)
ENDLOOP.   (#1)
Your kind support is very important for me.
Thanks in advance.

How to use field symbols in program

how to use field symbols can any one explain with example please..
Regards,
venki...

Hi
Field Symbols
Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects.
All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve performance in some cases.

Syntax Diagram
FIELD-SYMBOLS
Basic form
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs>.
Extras:
1. ... TYPE type
2. ... TYPE REF TO cif
3. ... TYPE REF TO DATA
4. ... TYPE LINE OF type
5. ... LIKE s
6. ... LIKE LINE OF s
7. ... TYPE tabkind
8. ... STRUCTURE s DEFAULT wa
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Untyped Field Symbols ad Cannot Use Field Symbols as Components of Classes.
Effect
This statement declares a symbolic field called <fs>. At runtime, you can assign a concrete field to the field symbol using ASSIGN. All operations performed with the field symbol then directly affect the field assigned to it.
You can only use one of the additions.
Example
Output aircraft type from the table SFLIGHT using a field symbol:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <PT> TYPE ANY.
DATA SFLIGHT_WA TYPE SFLIGHT.
ASSIGN SFLIGHT_WA-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
WRITE <PT>.
Addition 1
... TYPE type
Addition 2
... TYPE REF TO cif
Addition 3
... TYPE REF TO DATA
Addition 4
... TYPE LINE OF type
Addition 5
... LIKE s
Addition 6
... LIKE LINE OF s
Addition 7
... TYPE tabkind
Effect
You can define the type of the field symbol using additions 2 to 7 (just as you can for FORM parameters (compare Defining the Type of Subroutine Parameters). When you use the ASSIGN statement, the system carries out the same type checks as for USING parameters of FORMs.
This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Obsolete Casting for FIELD SYMBOLS.
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See Defining Types Using STRUCTURE.
Effect
Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP Dictionary (s). All fields of the structure can be addressed by name: <fs>-fieldname. The structured field symbol points initially to the work area wa specified after DEFAULT.
The work area wa must be at least as long as the structure s. If s contains fields of the type I or F, wa should have the structure s or at least begin in that way, since otherwise alignment problems may occur.
Example
Address components of the flight bookings table SBOOK using a field symbol:
DATA SBOOK_WA LIKE SBOOK.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <SB> STRUCTURE SBOOK
DEFAULT SBOOK_WA.
WRITE: <SB>-BOOKID, <SB>-FLDATE.
