I am unable to input text in the spine of a book

I am making a small square book in the book module. The book only has 40 pages and therefore the spine is pretty narrow. In the cover template, the spine does show up but I am unable to click into it, where normally on other books, a yellow box appears to input the text.
I wonder if this is not happening because the spine may be too small for text. Although I did make the text in Photoshop and added it to the cover as a Background graphic. The two issues with that is that it takes much too long to tweak it, and since it's JPEG file, I am sure it won't be as sharp as text typed into LR directly. I will be making several books this size and I would prefer having it be simple and just within LightRoom
Any insights would be appreciated.
thank you.

A little bit about binding follows which I hope is helpful. The hardcover spine will be much wider (6mm+) than the soft back. The case in case binding has inherent capacity and width because the underlying construction is actually in three parts front, back and spine with separate boards underneath the case cover carrying your image. So the hard cover spine width starts at a minimum sufficient for text and (I guess) will only increase with a large number of pages or may be limited by the software.
A softcover spine could be as little as 2-3mm. When/if the page extent increases the spine width can be increased intelligently as part of the binding process by adding the thickness of the growing number of sheets but the centre line may move. Unfortunately the way this is 'accounted' for in overall cover length might (but should not) vary from binder to binder or workflow. The increase is not based on the centre line it is from spine edge on the front - since the front image is the critical one visually. This is evident in the full image cover template.
This might prove to be a problem for your workaround because as a spine width grows the centre of the image ceases to be a reliable datum. To help Blurb delight as many customers as possible and to contract different printers/binders they probably choose to avoid this problem altogether and stop the spine from bieng used. In my - printing and binding aware - view a wise decision, in your view exasperatingly inexplicable. I hope your workaround gives a satisfactory result both for a thin book and a thick book but take care. Good Luck

I have never used indesign to type in text on the spine of a book for submission as a book cover with the POD company Lightning Source. I would be so grateful if someone could tell me how to do this. This is the first time I have ever used a forum.

Help! How do I type in text on the spine of a book cover template in indesign?

1. Determine the spine width first. Note that the spine width is relative to the thickness of the paper used for printing. For example, your book is of 300 pages, the spine thickness varies relative to paper thickness (say, 60gsm paper or 70gsm paper, or thicker art paper varieties). Get in touch with the Printer to give you a bound dummy (blank pages) with as many number of pages as your book has. Measure the spine manually from it. When you are more experienced, you would be able to calculate the thickness just by knowing the paper thickness (multiply by number of pages of the book).
2. Create a spread to represent the back cover (left) and front cover (right). Increase the width of either the left page or right page, to make it exactly the width of book + spine width. Use guides to separate the spine from the cover design area. Type the spine matter and rotate the frames to fit to the spine. Rotation of frames should be in such a way that when the book is kept on table with its front cover on top, the spine text matters should be erect (not be upside down). On completion the whole design should have the bleed area on all four sides, left page as back cover, spine in the middle with rotated text frames, right page as front cover.
OR
3. You can also make the spine a separate page. Create a page exactly of the width of spine. Go to Pages panel fly-out and uncheck "allow document pages to shuffle". Arrange the three pages, the back cover the spine and the front cover in that order side by side in the pages panel (you can drag-drop the pages to make the 3 pages spread). Go to layout to make finishing touches.

Unable to full text index the contents in Oracle 11g UCM

Hi,
I am new to the Oracle UCM 11g.
i am unable to full text index the content files that are check-in into the Oracle UCM.
I have added the below entries in config.cfg file:
SearchIndexerEngineName=OracleTextSearch
IndexerDatabaseProviderName= SystemDatabase
AdditionalEscapeChars=-;#
While performing the indexing operation using Repository Manager only, metadata of the content files are indexed, but full text is not getting indexed.
What is missing here in Oracle UCM for not fulltext indexing the contents? What configurations do i need to do for this so that i can search perform the full text search on the Contents in Oracle UCM?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Srinath,
Collection rebuild cycle runs perfectly fine. After enabling tracing for Indexer and systemdatabse, i got the below info in the log:
"Finished rebuilding the search index with a total of 123 files successfully indexed. A total of 0 files had a full text index."
The below is the details of the activeindex.hda:

Is it possible that OracleTestSearch Component is missing in Oracle UCM?

Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 book module?

Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 Book Module?

I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book mo

Does anyone know how to simply edit the text in the spine of hard cover, 40 page book in the book module? I can click into any other text window and edit and change attributes but I am locked out of editing text when it comes to the spine of the book. I spoke to Blurb support and they referred me to Adobe. I spent 45 minutes with support here - no one knew. I am still waiting for a call back with an answer... not holding my breath as it's been a few hours now. HELP!!!

Thanks for your reply John. I have experienced all the fiddly aspects you mentioned - these are attributes and although changing them requires the skill of a surgeon's hand - it's the actual editing of the text I can't seem to access anymore. The box just won't allow me to do anything except change attributes. Does that make sense? And it's only on the spine where I am having this issue. Puzzled! I have even rebooted the program and just now the computer - to no avail.

How does one put text on the spine?

I'm a little confused about the difference between the version I'm creating and the template I start with. I start with a template, then resize and mess with the arrangement of the pictures. I move text boxes. All seems okay.
I put a colored background on the front and back cover (by inserting a specially made pdf from Pages, a gradient color). The back spine remains white, and blank. How can I add text to the spine? And is there a way to have the color from the background bleed over the spine?
Ben

I certainly don't know how it was constructed, but I suppose the form was intended for people that use Word. If you were using Word, you would just select the "insert" key (or something - I forget) and type away. The text would type above the line. I thought maybe there was something like that in Pages. I find myself getting very frustrated using Pages and Numbers. They really aren't that easy to use. Word and Excel have them beat.

How to create input text of the node in AVL tree

Hi experts,
I create a simple AVL tree to display the sales order items, just two classes for one relationship. Like the left part on the screen in this program "DEMO_ABAP_OBJECTS_CONTROLS".
I want to let the node of the second class be maintained serial no., somthing like input field behind the node or double click the node, then show up the input field on another space on the same screen.
And there is a button on screen, I can do some check for the text of input field when pressing the button. If the input data is wrong , then show up the error message.
I have searched BCALV* in SE38, but i don't see anything helpful.
Plz give me some advice, thanks a lot!!
Regards,
Claire

To Kunjal and Uwe,
My AVL tree is declared like this:
Data: tree TYPE REF TO cl_gui_simple_tree.
The class is not "cl_gui_alv_tree" , so I can not use the code.
The code I create the node is the follwing:
CALL METHOD tree->add_nodes
EXPORTING table_structure_name = 'ABDEMONODE'
node_table = node_table.
And I looked the program that Uwe wrote, the tree is declared in class cl_gui_alv_tree, too.
I want to double click the node and appear a field that can be inputed text.
Is there any other way to do this with the class cl_gui_simple_tree?
Thanks for the advence help.
Claire

Putting Text on the spine

Hello,
I am preparing a cover using Indesign (it will be a single sheet covering a 2 page spread) and want to know where I should put the text that will go on the spine. I already estimated the width of the spine, but I am not sure where I should put the text. Will it be in a text box that overlaps between the two pages of the spread?

>Put the spine text in a text box that fits exactly into the gutter.
Make it exactly the same width. Since it should be rotated 90° clockwise, and the frame 'remembers' this rotation, this is actually the height.
Select Text Frame options, and set the vertical alignment to Center. Default for the top offset is Ascent; leave it, or change it to either Top of Capitals if you have lots of caps and little or no lowercase, or maybe set it to X height. Check whatever looks best.
I've found the occasional client wondering about the direction the text should be in. You should be able to read it while the book is lying flat on its back.
[... do Arabic and Hebrew books follow this same rule? Now I won't be able to sleep t'night.]

HT5525 Help adding text to the bottom of iPhoto book pages?

Hi -
I am working on a deadline (of course) to get an iPhoto book done for my parents' anniversary.
I have my photos placed, and have planned well to know how many characters can fit into each space below and next to photos in the text boxes provided.
I just tried my first page... it's a 6-photo page, with a little box at the bottom for a blurb.
When I click on it, it lights up blue, suggesting the space I have to work in.
Now, the frustrating part: As I start to type, it starts on the left side of the bottom of the page, but I only get about half-way across, and some invisible TAB seems to be in the text box. It starts my next word on the next line. I tried to use the align button, but even if I center the text, it stays on the far right side of the page, and significantly limits the number of words/characters I can use. Even if it causes me to be brief, which I can do, these tabs cause the look of the page to be out of balance.
Do you have any idea how I can get rid of tabs??
Thanks so much!
In a panic!

Re Designing a book cover how do I position the text on the spine?

Typing text on spine. I have used vertical text but I want it to read from left to right when turned on side (like a real book) Help

I was wondering about that! My personal preference would be for the
lettering to run vertically- that way, I wouldn't get a sore neck tilting

With this code, I get all bindings name.
So I change the [structure |http://h.imagehost.org/0922/jdev.png] putting af:form in each item of my af:panelTabbed without succes.
The code trace all bindings again, and I just want to get the input text of the form (like *$_POST*, or *$_GET* in php)
How to do that?
Thanks for your help.

Unable to enter text in popup window

Hi,
I am new to OATS OpenScript. I am unable to enter text in the popup window.
Here's my situation in detail:
My application is in Oracle Siebel and the pop up is a webpage dialog.
When I click on the Button in Siebel application, the webpage dialog pops up and there is a text box and a Submit button.
When I was recording, I was unable to record the webpage dialog as it was not identified by Openscript recorder.
Hence, I recorded the webpage seperately and the standalone scripts runs fine. It is able to navigate to the page and enter the text in textbox and click submit button.
Now I am trying to integrate those Webpage XPath in my existing script but it fails to recognize the webpage or the textbox from the popup webpage dialog.
Has anyone able to figure out how to record the popup windows using OATS OpenScript? Please help.
Thanks,
Sapna

Hi Deepu,
Thanks for replying.
web:window[@index='0' or @title='Enter Card Number']/web:document[@index='0']/web:body[@index='0']
web:window[@index='0' or @title='Enter Card Number']/web:document[@index='0']/web:input_text[@id='txt_name' or @name='name' or @index='0']
web:window[@index='0' or @title='Enter Card Number']/web:document[@index='0']/web:input_submit[@name='submit' or @value='Submit' or @index='0']
These are the XPaths I get when I record that webpage seperately.
Also when I was recording the webpage alongwith the siebel app, I got these XPaths for the same objects:
/web:dialog_unknown[@text='Enter Card Number -- Webpage Dialog' and @winClass='Internet Explorer_TridentDlgFrame' and @index='0']/web:accText[@index='2']
Submit Button
/web:dialog_unknown[@text='Enter Card Number -- Webpage Dialog' and @winClass='Internet Explorer_TridentDlgFrame' and @index='1']/web:accPushButton[@index='0' or @name='Submit']
I also read in one of the forums that if the object is not added, I need to add it manually. How can i do that?:
Popup wb window is not detected by openscript
Thanks,

Input text field problem

I am VERY new at this...I'm following directions in "Hands On
Training Flash 8 book...
When creating an input text field the book instructs me to
embed the font using the embed button that is in the Property
Inspector...When I do this and test the movie there is no cursor in
the text box and I am not allowed to type in it..
If I do not embed the font then when I test the movie the
input field works. I click on it and get a cursor and am able to
enter information.
Is the book I'm using wrong here or is there something I'm
missing? Thank you.

Hi Nirnalatha,
I have newly joined this forum and while going through the
posts I came across your post which I thought I could help out. But
I think I am too late for the reply.
I am also into Flashlite development couple of months from
now. Coming to your questions:
1. Textbox problem: I am surprised to know that E70 mobiles
(Device central list has E70-1 only) does not show input text box
when cursor is in input box. Anyways its a good thing that you dont
get an additonal input box. Like all J2ME applications you will be
able to type the text inline. Infact we had reverse problem where I
was told to create inline edit input box instead of flashlite input
box. I think this is the mobile setting. Check the device features
in the Adobe Device Central under Flash - Standalone player - Text
and Fonts features. It will be mentioned whether inline text is
allowed or not.
2. Soft keys issues: You need to use
fscommand2("SetSoftKeys", "Previous", "Next");
and use a key listener in order to override the Mobile
Softkey commands. Check out the flashlite help which clearly
explains this.
Hope I have given youa way to solve ur problem.
