InfoView ignores CR 10 tab stops!

To all:
I have a report in Crystal 10 in which I set tab stops within a text box to creat text in a tabular format. I have headings and data fields on the next line, at the same tab stops.
When I populate the report within Crystal, the mini-table appears formatted correctly.
However, when I pull up the report in Business Objects InfoView, all of the tabs seem to have disappeared. All of the headings and the data are bunched together at the left margin instead of being tabbed over to the middle of the page in tabular format.
Any help would be appreciated.
GL

Hi GL,
There is possiblity that the version of crystal viewer is not compatible with the version of Business Objects Infoview. Try and use the same version of crystal viewer.
Also, if you go to infoview prefrences --> crystal reports, you have an option to switch between different viewers such as activeX, java, html etc. Try using these.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jay.

In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the Paragraph Designer.

In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the paragraph designer. Here are the steps to dysfunction:
1. In Paragraph Designer, for Tab Stops, click Edit. Edit Tab Stop dialog box opens, and the Paragraph Designer dialog box closes.
2. Type value in New Position box.
3. Click Continue. The Edit Tab Stop box closes.
4. Open Paragraph Designer. No tabs are recorded.
Discussion of a similar problem occured on this forum in June 2010. At that time, the resolution seemed to be to upgrade to 9.0.3. Has anyone else encountered this problem with these versions?
Thanks.

Hi, Arnis,
Brilliant! Thanks so much. I only looked at the later discussions of that thread, which seemed to indicate the problem would be solved by an upgrade to 9.0.3.

[JS CS3] Tab Stops in Table

Below is a function that would delete all existing tab stops in a column and the add a new tab stop.
function TabStopper (myPosition, xx){
myTable.columns.item(xx).cells.everyItem().texts[0].tabStops.everyItem().remove();
myTable.columns.item(xx).cells.everyItem().texts[0].tabStops.add({position:myPosition, alignment:TabStopAlignment.CHARACTER_ALIGN, alignmentCharacter:")"});
The problem is that this works well with CS2 but not with CS3. In CS3, only the tab stops in the last cell of the selected column are removed. Can anybody please help analyze what the problem is. Thank you so much.

Joaquin,
Strange indeed that that doesn't work. You can get around it by using this method:
function TabStopper (myPosition, xx){
myTable.columns.item(xx).cells.everyItem().texts[0].tabList =
[{position:xx, alignment:TabStopAlignment.CHARACTER_ALIGN, alignmentCharacter:")"}];
When you set a tabList like this, any other tabstops are deleted, and this works in CS3. (CS4 restores CS2's behaviour.)

How to handle tab stops when converting from Frame to RoboHelp

I have several examples of programming code that have tabulated indentations in the FrameMaker documents I have inherited.
But when I convert to RoboHelp, the tab stop is only recognized by a single space.
What would be the best way to deal with this? There are so many examples, and sometimes there can be multiple levels.
Remember, all these manuals have already been written in Framemaker, so the less I have to manipulate these samples, the better!
Thanks

Did anyone from Adobe get back to you on this bug?
Now that TCS3 is out there, did they fix it?
Do you know how we can find out the status of this and other issues with Adobe?
We have been very disappointed with TCS2 and if Adobe hasn't fixed known issues from that version, I wonder if they will in TCS3...or ever? Flare is looking pretty good at this point.

How to remove tab stops at one shot after importing a word document

HI everyone,
This is my first post in Framemaker Community as I am moving from RH to FM.
I have an issue with respect to importing word documents to Framemaker.
After I have import a word to doc to FM multiple tab stops are created.
Now, although I remove the tab stops manually once, If I place my mouse in the next line , the tab stops are seen again.
Is there any shortcut wherein I can remove tab stops at one go after I import a word document in Framemaker.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Parag

Edit > Find / Change
Find: Text: [ \x08 ]
Change To Text: [ \x20 ]
<*> Document
[ Change All ]
This would change all tabs to ordinary spaces. You can actually just type a tab and space character, but I used the hex notation so you see what you're doing. The space could be any other character(s) you desire, or no characters at all (make sure the To Text: field is empty).
Hex codes?

IBooks Author strips tab stops from Table of Contents

Tab stops that are generated from section names are stripped from published iBooks Author files. When I click on Table of Contents in iBooks Author, I can see it exactly like it should be. Please see the screenshot that I have uploaded tabs.jpg.
Please note the Tab stops of the inspector that are in the screenshot. It shows clearly that I have made a number of tab stops and how it should be displayed. However, please download the following file to see how the tab stops are stripped from the .ibooks file that is created when I publish it:

I am in immediate need of a solution for a large book that I am in the process of publishing. Please advise.

The iBA Help has info on: table of contents
Which includes:
Each book comes with a table of contents that is updated automatically. You can view the table of contents at any time by selecting Table of Contents in the sidebar. The table of contents includes a default set of items, but you can change which items appear. A table of contents can include:
Chapter and section titles: All chapter and section titles are included in the table of contents by default. If you remove a section from the table of contents, all other sections that use the same layout are removed as well.
Text that uses specified paragraph styles: By default, the table of contents includes all paragraphs in the book that use the Heading 1 and Heading 2 style, but you can include whichever styles you like. Paragraph styles appear in the table of contents only in portrait orientation. See Format text using styles.
The way the table of contents looks depends on the current page orientation. In landscape orientation (shown below), each chapter has its own contents page, with navigation buttons at the bottom. In portrait orientation, the entire book’s table of contents is visible as an expandable list.
Add or remove items in the table of contents
If the Document inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar and click the Document Inspector button.
Click the TOC button.
Do either or both of the following:
To add an item: Click the Add pop-up menu , choose Add Paragraph Style, and choose an option from the submenu.
To remove an item: Select the item you want to remove and click the Delete button .

Tab stops in table cell

ID CS3 - If I have multiple tab stops in a table cell, is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to "tab" over to these stops?

hmmm...my test layout seems to work well, but I will add another few rows of data. I have approximately 20 to 30 fields, and one of the fields references an image. So far, the two test rows have populated the fields correctly in ID when I've created the merge document. Was there any particular issues, or could you point me to something specific so I can check it out?

Change tab stops when composing mail

For some reason when composing a message, after entering the recipient address, tab to subject, after that I have to tab thru 3 additional stops to get to the message body. I would prefer to tab from subject directly to the message - how can I change the tab stop settings?

Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts and set the radio button near the bottom of the window to "Text boxes and lists only."

JDeveloper Design tab stopped working

Hello,
Once upon a time
Without an obvious reason
My JDeveloper 11R2 design tab stopped working. It's just showing me page blocks instead: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/5954/designbroken.png
Preview tab is also broken: http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/7563/designbroken2.png
It is just a JSF facelets page, nothing unusual. And it is not only this page, but all of them, so it is IDE trouble, not my code.
Tried to restart. Tried to reboot. Nothing.
On runtime everything's fine.
I really wouldn't like to reinstall JDeveloper and resotre all the IDE and IntegratedWebLogic configutration back again.
Is there any hope for solvation?
Thanks.

What's up with tab stops for index?

Hey,
Basically, I want my index to have dots before the numbers. Pretty standard: Words, blah bla.........8.
After reading the following page, I thought I understood how to format my index. Makes logical sense.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/9.0/Using/WSd817046a44e105e21e63e3d11ab7f7561e-7f65 .html
I got it to work for a minute, and then the dots disappeared, and I'm at a loss. Can't get them back, despite starting from scratch.
On my Ref pages I have:
................... 1, 2–3
................. Level2IX
The above paragraphs are formatted as Level1IX, and Level2IX, respectively, on the Ref Pages. When I go to the body pages and click on the text it seems that the correct info is in the Paragraph Designer, BUT NO DOTS or tabs come up.
Is there something I'm missing? I don't get why this can be so tricky? (Sorry, I'm a little frustrated at this point).
(By the way, I do hit Apply and then Update All on the Ref Pages, in the Paragraph Designer.)
Thanks,
Ian

The problem may be just one of those "well, that's how it works" things, or it may be something else.
I'm thinking of the problem that affects tabs and tab stops, when the width of the generated list's text frame on the body page is narrower than the generated list's specification text frame on the reference page.
FrameMaker's tab stops are "absolute," unlike almost every other tab stop you've seen; those are "relative." In FrameMaker-ese this means that the first (leftmost) tab character is absolutely connected to the first (leftmost) tab stop in the paragraph's format, and, naturally, the second goes with the second, etc.
If you type a tab character, it tried to go to the tab stop it's connected to. So, if the first tab character you type in the first line of a paragraph is to the left of the first tab stop, the text jumps to that tab stop, and you keep typing. The second tab character you type tries to go to the second tab stop, and so on.
However, if the typing has passed (gone to the right of) its tab stop, unlike relative tab behavior which goes to the next available tab stop, in FrameMaker that tab is dead. It's a zero-width lurker. If you type a second tab character at the same place as the dead first tab character, if the second tab stop is to the right of this tab character, the typing will jump to the tab stop, and so on.
Well, suppose you create a right-aligned tab stop at a fixed position on the line, say 6.5", about where the default reference page text frame ends, and you define the rest of its paragraph properties as you like, you'll expect everything on the body page created by generating a list or index from that reference page. Good thinking. But NOOOOOOOOOT necessarily true. If the main text frame in the generated list or index document has been narrowed, that right-aligned tab stop will be outside the margin, and stuff will act silly.
Moral: it's always a good idea to define tab stop positions in the exact text frame where they will appear. Usually, there's no problem, except when the paragraphs are defined in the text frame on the reference page. It's not always the same width as the document page on which it places generated text.
If this isn't the problem, I'm out of ideas. Probably something that's easier to explain<G>.

FrameMaker 12 master page footer tab stops

I'm using FrameMaker 12 for the first time (have used other versions in the past). On the right master page, I hit Tab twice, and inserted two variables into the footer. On the Body pages, the text is cut off on the right. To fix it, I had to delete the center-aligned tab on the master page, leaving only the right aligned tab. That shouldn't have been necessary. Why did the text aligned to the right-align tab stop get cut off?

What are:
dimensions & units of the footer frame
exact values (& units of the tab stops
Justification of the footer para
is Columns set to 1 and Room for Side Heads off in the footer para
font in use (including file type OTF, TTF, PFM)
I have occasionally seen odd right-tab-to-frame edge behavior in earlier FMs. Frame definitely messes up R tab content if it thinks the tab stop is beyond the frame edge (it won't let you set the tab stop that way, but will let you reduce the frame size later).
Setting the R tab stop to 0.01 less than frame size usually fixes it. My random conjecture is that it might have something to do with round off of what FM shows in dialogs vs. what it actually stores internally.

Tab stop

Hi,
I have the following problem.
EKPO-ABMNG and T006A-MSEHT are not appearing at the designated
tab stop as declared in the paragraph format U1.
Why do you have an idea.?
Maybe the reserved place for
material number EKPO-ematn (see below) is to long. How can I anyway enforce to place the variable
EKPO-ABMNG at the designated tab stop ?
U1 <K>&EKPO-EBELP+1(4)&,,&EKPO-ematn&,,&EKPO-ABMNG&,,&*T006A-MSEHT&
= ,,&EKPO-NETPR&,,&RM06P-PRP&,,&EKPO-ZWERT&</>
Regards
Marco

Hi Macro,
As the field EKPO-ABMNG is a quality field, the data will be right justified, so its not appering as per your requirement.
I suggest to change this to character format & then print.
See below code
data : C_ABMNG type char17.
move EKPO-ABMNG to C_ABMNG .
condense C_ABMNG .
Now C_ABMNG is ready for printing in your form & can be placed as per your requirement.
Hope this helps!!

Using tab stops and lining up number or alpha lists.

I have a Acrobat form that was given me to try and duplicate in Designer. The form contains 14 items in a alpha list a-n. Like this.
a. Lifting
b. Bending
c. Stooping
d. Pushing or pulling
e. Twisting
f. Climbing
etc.
I can't see a way to add a tab stop after the period so all the names line up the same. Is there a way to do this that I'm just not seeing or finding?

Hopefully this shows up...
In Example 1, the text is short so lines up on the left. (The red lines are meant to represent the boundaries.) In Example 2, the text is too long to fit within the preset boundaries, so should justify on the right. I feel like this should be possible. So far the only way I've found to do it is by using a standard tab, and replacing the tab on the longer lines with a right tab character, but that's still a manual solution.
EXAMPLE 1:
EXAMPLE 2:

Pasteboard Turns Gray When Dragging a Tab Stop

I'm using InDesign CC on a Mac Pro 5,1 Quad-Core Intel Xeon running OS 10.6.8 with 7GBs of RAM. Whenever I highlight a text and drag a tab stop in the tabs palette, my entire pasteboard turns gray. It doesn't happen when I first start using the program each day but within a very short time, it starts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lloyd

Bob,
That's what I thought. I'm trying to convince the IT dept. here to upgrade to Mavericks but we have a few plug-ins that are version-specific (AutoPrice, Q2ID, etc.), so we'd have to upgrade all of them. I'm researching alternatives...wish me luck.
