Indent first two lines of paragraph?

Hello,
I want to have an indent on the first two lines of my paragraph, how do I make this happen? I doesn't seem to be possible.
The only way I know of is to manually indent the second line. But as you can imagine that's not a very efficient way if this happens over 200 hundred times
PS: I use Indesign CS 5.5
Thanks,
Hamid

I didn't realize that the "A" in your screenshot was part of your layout (I thought it might be part of your example). Another not-so-elegant solution would be as follows: Starting with what you have…
…which are paragraphs with initial letters and tabs, create a rectangle shape with no fill or stroke, and give it some text wrap.
Select the rectangle, cut it, go to the text frame, delete the first tab and paste the rectangle inline between the letter and the first bit of the paragraph.
Now, select the inline object with the selection tool and drag it down until the text wrap causes the second line to indent.
Place the text cursor between the first bit of text (Cus, in my example) and hit the left arrow key while holding the shift key to select only the inline object. Then copy it to the clipboard. If you then use find/change to look for a tab ^t and in the replace field, click on the @ symbol to bring up the fly-out menu and select Other>Clipboard Contents, Formatted, you can insert the object in place of all of the other tabs, and it will look like this:

First two lines of each page... - Format Issue

I have a manual I am currently updating. I am unaware of how it was formatted initially but it is currently pushing the first two lines of each page all the way to the left margin. I have checked everything I know to check for the format setting
and have been unable to find anything out of the ordinary. Anyone have any idea what causes this?
I am using Word 2010

It may be possibly due to the indentation setting of your document.
To change it, choose the below option in your word file
Home => Paragraph => Indents and Spacing => Indentation => Left (0 pi)
Try if this work outs.

 That <TEST> and empty line shouldn't go the rfc .
 How can i skip and sent to rfc using XSLT Mapping ?
Best Regards .,

you can avoid the empty lines in your File Content Conversion by defining offset.
Under Document Offset, specify the number of lines that are to be ignored at the beginning of the document.
This enables you to skip comment lines or column names during processing. If you do not make an entry, the default value is zero lines.
ref: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
then the generated XML after FCC will not have the empty lines.

TS3274 Email display problem: My email only display the list of emails and a preview (first two lines of the body of the mail). If one click on the message it only shows the heading on the right hand side of the screen, but not the content.

My email only display the list of mails in my in box with a preview of the first two lines of the body of the message. When one clicks on the message to open it, only the header is displayed in the right hand side of the screen - the actual message is missing. This happens on older mail previously downloaded that use to work properly as well. Any idea how to fix this?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Is there any way of turning off the email list from showing the first two lines of body text. I just want to see a list of senders!

I would just like to view the incoming emails as a list without having to see the first two lines, as it's harder to view and search through, and we already have the preview pane for that! Help, I can't find where to adjust it!

Font size in writing mail is too small for first two lines and then switches to 12. How do I change this to start and stay in 12.

When I want to reply to a message or just compose one, the font size is Times Roman 10 which is too small. After two lines it becomes 12. How can I change the font to start and remain Times Roman 12?

This survives closing and reopening Mail. When you open a New Message window, the body text will now be 14 point.
That's how it works on my iMac with OS X 10.8.1 but it refuses to change when selected on our new MacBook Air with the same OS and Apple Mail version. Is there something about the track pad that it doesn't recognize the click?

How to get rid of automatic indenting of 1st line of paragraph?

I am somewhat new to this, have taken a RH8 course, but I'm baffled. When I generate any type of output, the first line in a paragraph is indented a wee bit. I am importing a FM 9 file (but don't believe the problem stems from FM; I have checked the paragraph tags). In my CSS, text-indent is set to 0.000pt. If I look at the HTML source, there are three non-breaking spaces that cause the indent I don't want. Anyone know at what point these get generated? They seem to just show up out of nowhere. Please tell me - what am I missing?

Hi, the only thing I can think of as the reason you are getting non-breaking spaces (i.e.  ) is if you have spaces in your FrameMaker paragraphs. Please check your source FrameMaker files and even do a search for three spaced by selecting Edit > Find/Change. Enter 3 spaces in the Find box by pressing the space bar three times. Once you find these and delete them, save the file and "update" your files in RoboHelp, this indent should be removed.
Please let me know if this works.

I just purchased a song, it starts about 3 sec. late missing the first two sentences, what should I do?

Bought a song and when play starts 3 seconds late so misses first two lines of the song.

If you deleted it from your library and re-downloaded a fresh copy, and the fresh copy had the same problem, then it may be a defective master file in the Store. Submit the problem to iTunes Customer Service.

Is there a way to make the Twitter notification banner show the whole tweet, instead of just two lines?

I am using TweetDeck for Desktop and just switched to a computer running Mountain Lion (10.8.5). I have the Notification Center configured to show Banner alerts when tweets from designated accounts are posted. Prior to running Mountain Lion, TweetDeck itself would show me a banner in the top right-hand corner of my screen, and that banner would include the full tweet.
Now that I'm on Mountain Lion, it appears that the Notification Center has taken over the alert system. However, unlike the native TweetDeck banner, the Mountain Lion notification banner is limited to two lines, which means that, unless it's a very short tweet, I can't see the full tweet that has been posted. This is VERY inconvenient, as it means that I need to either open TweetDeck or open the Notification Center in order to see the full tweet.
Is there any way to adjust the Notification Center banner to allow it to show the full tweet, instead of just the first two lines?

You have 2 options:
1. Create Video Playlists in iTunes (for example create one for Home movies, the other for Movies)
You COULD make these Smart Playlists. (see below for one technique)
NOTE: If you wish to do this don't miss the preference in Settings to enable Video Playlists at least (at least in the latest ATV updates) I believe it's under Audio setting. Amazingly the default is NOT to show!! (had me going for quite a bit)
2. Set up your Home Movies as "Music Videos" This has some gotchas: like you'll probably want to choose the skip when shuffiling, also Now they'll appear in music lists. The only advantage to this is that it makes playlists more available on iOS devices since there are no Playlists displayed in the Videos App.... (yeah Apple's made this WAY confusing of late)
If you wish to keep these clearly defined (especially for use with Smart Playlists.
Select the movie
Get Info (Edit Menu) (or Command-I Mac, Control-I, PC)
Choose the "Video" Tab - you can select your desired type from the Media Kind pop up.
Alternate method for setting up smart playlist of home movies would be to set the Genre to "Home Movie"

Hi Sreenivasulu
Not sure if this will help you... but just some pointers....
How about triggering the javascript on selection of a particular record in the table...? i.e. call the particular javascript function only when some row in the table is selected and not otherwise.
About row selection, you can try using some type of UI control like radio button and through iteration of the table, you can find out which row's radio button has been selected..
(Please post the query in Adobe Forms section for more hints and suggestions... )
Thanks

Can someone explain to me what are the benefits of compound path when it comes to text? I can understand one or two lines but a whole paragraph?

Every year we do a fundraiser to help my job, but my co-worker is getting frustrated. We receive outside files laid out in Illustrator, but the person who does the file sets all of the text using compound path. These aren't one or two lines of text to be manipulated but whole paragraphs of text. This person does this every year, and it is time consuming if my co-worker can't manipulate a paragraph without going to each individual layer that has a letter. Is there a way to make these compound paths merge as one without altering the document i.e. make some element disappear. Any kind of help is appreciated.

ikaika,
As I (mis)understand it, you should simply ask this outside person to keep all text as Live Type, using a font that you have on your machines (in the exact same version) so there will be no font substitution issue(s).
That way, you could get the job done without silly waste of time.
Failing to comply would seem quite uncooperative.
I presume there is no copyright question onvolved in this.

Why is there a thin dark line between two of my three cover images that wasn't there before? When I delete the images, you can tell that there is extra space between the first two image boxes.

Getting ready to purchase my first book, I looked over everything once more and noticed that there is now a thin gray line between the first two of my three cover images. I believe this may have happened when I switched out the left image. When I delete the images, you can see an extra space between the center and left image boxes. How can I fix this without starting over?

What size book? Are you previewing this way -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

How to enter a new line or paragraph using voice recognition

Hello,
Does anyone know how to make the voice recognition enter new lines or paragraphs?
When I first got my phone I could simply say "enter", "new line" or "new paragraph" rather quickly and it would advance to the next line, or in the case of paragraph it would be two new lines giving a space between the paragraph.
However, in the last month or so this has stopped working. Now, when I say "enter", "new line" or "new paragraph" it will either spell out the words, or it will add a space.
It's really frustrating, making the feature almost useless because I have to keep popping out to the keyboard to hit the return key.
I'm using the voice recognition software to enter text for the applications "S.Memo" or "Google Drive Documents", on a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone with the 4.1.2 Android Version.
-=John

You cannot unintall "S.Memo", as it appears to be part of Samsung's base OS. I can do a force stop and disable on it as well as clear the data, but I cannot uninstall it. That is simply not an option for the app. I'm not going to clear the data because that deletes all the files I've made for it.
I did a force stop on "S.Memo" and then started the app, and the problem persists.
I power cycled the phone and the problem persists.
I did uninstall and reinstall "Google Drive Document" but that did not resolve the problem either.
Also it seems silly to remove and reinstall these apps, when it's the voice recognition software that is having the problem. This problem happens if you simply use voice input. It even happens when editing the phone's contact's information.

Is there a way to outdent the first sentence in a paragraph in Pages?

Is there a way to outdent the first sentence in a paragraph in Pages? The essay is finished and I am just adding some finishing touches to the piece and i Just want to outdent the first sentence in the paragraph but I cant find a way to do this. Can any on ehelp me with this. Thank you.

It's called a hanging indent. It's a two-step process using the ruler. Move the indent to the point you want the second & subsequent rows then move the small bar on top of the triangle to the left. Or use the Text inspector as in this screenshot.
