Initial character in another fontface than the text beside it?

I want an initial character thats to be in another typeface than the rest of the text beside it. However if I change the initial character (the larger initial) the rest of the text follows and if I change back the text to the way its suppose to be the initial character changes to be to the rest of the text.
What do I do to make the initial character in one typeface and the text beside it in another typeface and without these interferring with each other?

One thread from you on this subject should be sufficient, so I'm going to lock this one. Please continue in your first thread, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4086349
Everything you are trying to do can be handled by the use of a Character Style applied to the first character.

I want to buy a MBP with retina display, can I get the keyboard in another language than the ones listed?

I would like to buy my new mac in the states, but want the keyboard to be in another language than the ones listed (english, french, spanish and japanese). Is this possible if I contact them?
Btw, I know that you can change the language in settings, but I want the physical other keyboard, not to just change it on the mac!

I think they can from a physical retail store, but you should ask them directly. Normally the kinds of keyboards available via special order should be those shown at the site below, but I have heard that some probably are only available outside the US.

How to import PDF image into Pages manuscript that is larger than the text bed margins

How do I import a PDF image into a Pages book manuscript, whose dimensions are larger than the global text bed margins? Any imported PDF image is automatically shrunk to fit within the text bed. I know I can set up a single page with wider margins and a text bed within it, but I want the image to import to a page already within the manuscript sequence, where the text bed margins are set and constant.

By default it should be dragging in as a floating image and not part of the text.

IS there a way to fix the issue with text list boxes where they shift (empty space is smaller than the text size) when two text lsit boxes are side by side?

Currently I have a webpage I designed for a company where I have multiple text list boxes side by side for the purpose of displaying data in each one based on a category in the database. So a text list box for the primary key, name, serial number, etc. I have to use Firefox as it typically works best for printing and functionality for the page. The single issue we are having is that in Firefox if the field is null as far as text the text are shrinks meaning all the data in that list box shifts up and is no longer in line with its congruent data in the other text list boxes. In other browsers that's not a problem and everything stays lined up regardless of whether there's text in the box or not.
Unfortunately I cannot provide a link but if contacted I will provide screen shots.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

Since I have Firefox 4 on my minilapatop, I type two or three times faster than the text in the browswer can keep up with. It results in parts of texts lost, when I am typing.

It's what I wrote above. I am not a fast typer, but when writing texts or composing e-mails, the texts cannot follow me and I loose texts. I have a small eee-PC with Windows 7 running. It worked great, until I upgraded to Firefox 4.

Ascii character 129 for newline in the text file

Hi there,
I have java program that makes JDBC connection and reads through a table, write a column in text file, after each column puts delimiter "|"and after each row prints in the next line.
This is the code below.
public void queryRecords() {
         Statement stmt           = null;
        ResultSet rset           = null;
        try {
              stmt = con.createStatement();
              int numRows = 0;
            File file           = new File("/tmp/temp.txt");
            FileWriter writer   = new FileWriter(file, false);
            BufferedWriter pw      = new BufferedWriter(writer);
            rset = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM mytable");

        PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(file);

        pw.print("|");
        pw.print("aaa");
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          File file = new File("/test/test.txt");
        //FileWriter writer   = new FileWriter(file, false);
        //BufferedWriter pw      = new BufferedWriter(writer);

How to place User folders on another HD than the system?

Sorry for this perhaps ignorant question: I am contemplating to get a Mac Pro with two disks. Having heard about speed gains, I am thinking of having the system and applications on one HD and all the users' stuff (folders) on the second. In this respect I have two questions:
1) do you think this might really help with access speed?
2) how would I make the system to place the users' folders on the second disk?
Thanks...

Leave a "/Users" on the boot drive. Some applications don't like there not being one, even though technically having a symbolic link pointing to another drive should work.
having your home directory on another drive is easy to accomplish by changing one entry in NetInfo Manager (in /Utilities).
Find "Users" and click on there and then your own 'short name.' Down below will be "Path" entry as /Users/short-name
Change that to be /Volumes/vol-name-2/Users/short-name
where "vol-name-2" is actual name of the other drive or volume.
I would use some software to copy /Users to the 2nd drive, or create a folder there and copy. And copy your media and data files.
Might want to leave a small basic home folder /Library just to have one with prefs and such if needed. And always have backups.
There are a number of sites and books (David Pogue's Missing Manual covers it in less than two pages).
Gains are two forms. Free up space on boot drive. the system can access two or more drives concurrently without any contention over access or seeks.
I've always had my home directory on a RAID in this manner (since 5 yrs ago or more when Mike Bombich first mentioned and showed how to do so form the command line).

Initial time machine backup larger than the original

I have been using time machine with a 1 TB time capsule without issue on a older Macbook in the house. I just got a Macbook pro and am attempting to backup on the same time capsule. During setup, Time machine states there is 118GB to back up when looking under options (which is correct). Then when it goes to back up after "processing" it states that it is backing up 330gb (larger than my harddrive of 250GB). I took off about 167 GB of files off the time capsule. I erased the backup file on time capsule and started over. It still says that there is correctly 118GB to back up before it starts but now after processing it says it will be backing up 163 GB. (330GB-167GB=163GB) Of note there is 45GB of other stuff including the backup of the other Mac still on the time capsule. (163GB-45GB=118 GB.) It appears to be calculating to re-back-up what is already stored on the time capsule. How do I deal with this issue?

Your backup drive has been use to backup both computers. TM may think it should still be backing up both computers. If both computers are on the TC network that would be the normal expectation.
If that's not the case but you've given the new computer the same Computer Name as the old computer, then TM may be trying to backup files that are non-existent but still located in the backup set. If this is the case, then reformat the TC.

I need help modifying my iWeb site from another Mac than the one it was designed on:

I did exactly as directed in the Help file "to Modify your site from another computer", but when I click on the Domain file it launches iWeb to start a new website without anything from the site I created. The Macs are a mirror image of each other with the same iWeb version 3.0.4. I am transitioning from my MacBook to my new iMac, so the laptop files were all transferred to the iMac by the Apple Store when I bought it. The only difference is that the laptop is OS 10.6.8, and the new iMac is OS 10.7.5. After the transfer of all the files at the store, I proceeded to make the website on the laptop, but now need to work on the website from my iMac...but I need help getting the file to work on the iMac.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!

The trick that solved it for me was the last note about how to make the hidden folder appear (due to Lion OS 10.75):
Note for OS X Lion users :
To show the hidden Library folder in the Home Directory (Cmd-Shift-H) hold the Option (=Alt) key when choosing theGo menu in the Finder.

How to reinstall Leopard from another source than the install disk?

Hi there. Great forum full of information but I somehow could not find the answer to my problem.
I own a MacBook Pro and for some reason, the Optical drive refuses to read DVD and CD. It still accepts blank CD and does write....strange.
I can live with that, but what will I do if and when my Mac needs access to the install disk that came with it?
Today I partitioned an external Lacie HD with the intention of installing OS Leopard on it. I thought this would be an ideal solution as a back up strategy. Files in one volume, OS in another.
I have copied the content of both install disks on my desk top through firewire using my good lady's macbook (tiger) but when I click on the install icon, I get a negative message.

[IMG]http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/7129/picture2gn.png[/IMG]
What is the way of doing this?
Also, is it possible to reformat an reinstall the OS through firewire using the other macBook optical drive?
Thanks

You must be sure the drive is partitioned GUID or it will not boot a computer from the cloned installer disc.
You may want to consider getting a flash drive. An 8 GB flash drive will hold the OS X installer and a 16 GB one will hold the installer and Disc 2 (need to partition the flash drive.) Take care what brand you buy. Some don't work too well for booting Macs. I've had good success with PNYs. Prep them as follows:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
The above works, also, for external hard drives.

Can I install Windows XP with another CD than the recovery CD?

A friend of a friend ;) has a Satellite 5200. He cached a very bad virus on his Notebook, witch I couldn't remove after 2 hours of work, so I'd like to install Windows in order to "clean" the system. The problem is: he is just for visit here, and his recovery-CD is in his hometown, so I do not have the recovery-CD.
My question: can I use any other Windows XP CD - and then use the key, which I can find under the notebook? Does it have to be a "home"-CD too, or will any CD work - or will ONLY a Toshiba-recovery-CD work?
It's important for him - if it doesn't work he will buy a completely new Windows XP within the next 2 days. Because he pays me a little bit for my work, I cannot just try it out and then try it again the next day or so.
ps: how much does a new recovery-CD cost - ONLY the CD - when I purchase it an a local Toshiba dealer? I live in Germany.
Thank you

Hi
I agree with Silas. You can use an own original Microsoft Windows CD and install the OS on the Toshiba notebook.
All drivers can be found on the Toshiba page.
If you want to purchase the Toshiba recovery CD I would recommend contacting the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
Im not sure about the CD costs but I think its not expensive the single service points are responsible for the Recovery CD prices and this can be different from country to country

Another format than the mp4 ?

the ipod video is suposed to play 2 video formats.
have u ever tried this other format & is it better in video playback ?
any suggestions for a program converting to this format ?
i don't know the exact name but i guess its HX.XX or something !
60 GB ipod video.

This is what the iPod plays...
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
What is wrong with the one you are using now? As long as the video works, I wouldn't worry about it. iTunes converts videos to MPEG-4, so I would imagine that is better. H.264 video is good quality, but as far as when it is converted for the iPod, it is similar to MPEG-4.

How do you make the title bar display different text than the page title?

I'm looking for a way for the title bar display of my web page to be different than the text in the actual nav bar created by iWeb. For instance, I'd like the nav bar to just say Home for my main page, but in the title bar in the browser say "blah blah blah."
I know there has to be a way to do this. iWeb has actually done it on one page already, but I can't figure out how. I think it picked up the title bar text from the first text box in the page. For instance, the page name in the navigation bar is "blahs for today" but the browser title bar when you open that page says "blah blah," which happens to be the first line of text on the page. The page title in iWeb.app, though, is "blahs for today." But if I look at the source code it lists title as "blah blah."
I'm guessing I might be able to work around by making an invisible text box with the text that I want in the title bar as the very first thing on the page, and hope iWeb makes that the title bar text. I'd rather have a more correct way of doing it.
Is there a way of doing this in the source code without having to change a lot of stuff?
Thanks for any help.

Richard ~ The key is the default Title box that iWeb creates for every new page — it's that which you need to edit, not another text box you've created. And to make the text in that Title box invisible, see here.

Export to WORD - what's with these boxes around the text?

Post Author: Emily
CA Forum: Exporting
I am new to CR. I am using version 10.0.0.533 We use CR with ClearQuest for problem reporting and other data collection.
Rational (ClearQuest Vendor) tells me it's a CR X problem.
I use a CR report exported to MS WORD as a template for taking meeting minutes. With our old CR version, the ClearQuest export was great and I was able to add text into the report. With CR X, the report in MS WORD comes out in text boxes and editting this output is not pretty. I do not want the boxes, I just want free flowing text as if I had written a WORD doc so I can edit it easily during the meetings. I have tried export to text, copy, paste but I loose all of the formatting. I have tried HTML and then copy, paste, but this is even worse than the text output. RTF also has the text in boxes.
Someone out there MUST have run into this problem also. Help me...
