Intro and Font Issue w/ Word 2003

Hey everyone, I'm new to the board here and looks like
there's quite a bit of good info here.
If this has been covered already somewhere, I'd like to check
out the thread.
The machine I'm working with is set up with Windows 2000,
Office 2003 (with the Word 2003 fix), updated to RoboHelp X5.0.1.
I'm generating Win2000 help that just insists on using Times
New Roman font in the resulting help file no matter what I do.
Every font I change in the style in Word keeps on invading my help
file as Times. I've messed around with the templates to no avail.
I've copied the Robohelp.dot template into another directory
and changed it, and that did nothing. I've also changed Normal.dot
to see if that does anything, and am still coming up with Times New
Roman in my help file.
"Automatically Update Styles" is not checked underneath the
document template file selection field, so my style changes appear
to be sticking with the Word document when I close and re-open it.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Paragraph Alignment and Justification different in Word 2003 and 2010

Hi all,
We are migrating some letter templates from word 2003 to word 2010 for our system and we found a alignment problem in word 2010 (actually, it is not a problem and I think the behavior in 2010 is correct)
In word 2003, the following paragraph alignment will display like this :
"To enjoy your membership in our service center, please remit a payment of US$
123456789.00 per annual"
In word 2010, the following paragraph alignment will show like this
"To enjoy your membership in our service center, please remit a payment of
US$ 123456789.00 per annual"
(US$ 123456789.00 is shown on same line in 2010 but US$ and dollar amount are not
on the same line in 2003)
Although I think the paragraph alignment in 2010 is more reasonable, I still want to achieve back
the look in 2003 such that we can easily to compare results.
As in one post that I asked help in this forum, one expert shows me that there is option to set back the layout
look behavior in 2003, I guess if there are some advance settings to achieve this?
Please kindly advise to me on this.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ray

There is a difference, but it turns out to be a "2-factor" one. As far as I can tell, "enabling an 'east asian' language for editing" is the other factor. When you create
a document with such a language enabled, wrapping of currency amounts works differently in Windows Word 2007 and later. Once created, the problem seems to occur even on copies of Word that only have (say) English enabled.
In Word 2003, having such a language enabled for editing appears to make no difference.
Whether "enabling of an 'east asian' language is the cause of the problem described by the OP, or the only thing that will result in such a difference, I cannot tell.
Here, I tested roughly as follows:
a. back up normal.dot/normal.dotm
a. open Word 2010 and ensure only English is enabled as an editing language
b. create a new document
c. Type
" $ a"
(space, $, 10 spaces, "a", no quotation marks).
d. Type text + spaces before that, until the "a" wraps onto the next line.
e. save and close that
f. enable (say) one of the Chinese languages for editing.
g. restart Word
h. repeat (b)-(d). This time, I think you will see that the $, 10 spaces and the "a" wrap as a unit.
i. Save that.
j. disable the East Asian language again and restart Word. Open each document and see how the wrapping behaves.
Here, I happen to have Chinese enabled as one of the editing languages in my copy of Word 2003 and I do not see the "wrap as a unit" behaviour in that case, or in either
of the two .doc fiels saved from Word 2010.
Here, the behaviour appeared to be the same whether I used $, £ (UK pound sign) or the Yen character symbol, but not the Euro currency symbol.
I saved my test files (including some created in Word 2003) in 2007 XML format and tried to pin down the significant difference. Per-dcoument compatibility settings
didn't seem to be involved. Changing the w:eastAsia language attribute in the following element in the styles.xml file was enough to change the behaviour:
<w:styles><w:docDefaults><w:rPrDefault><w:rPr><w:lang ...

Widget (interaction) size and font issues when published in HTML 5

I'm using Captivate 7 and when I create and preview widget interactions (accordian, tab, etc.) the sizing and font look correct. However, when I publish it to HTML 5, it is not the right size, is left justified rather than centered, and does not have the custom font (defaults to Arial).
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Please help!

Adobe writes inline css for the font on that widget, in the CPM.js file. You's have to create a new class and and write your own rules using @font-face to ensure end-users can use the font. SWF files can embed fonts, but html does not.
If the user doesn't have to font you use it will default.
This is an example of how the Header title and instruction of the widget is written:
<headerTitle><font face="Arial" style="Arial" size="23" align="LEFT"/>
          <textDecoration bold="true" underline="false" italic="false"/>
          <color textColor="0xffffff" highlightRequired="false" highlightColor="0xffff99" highlightState="false"/>
        </headerTitle>
<headerInst><font face="Georgia" style="Georgia" size="14" align="LEFT"/>
          <textDecoration bold="false" underline="false" italic="true"/>
          <color textColor="0xb9dff6" highlightRequired="false" highlightColor="0xffff99" highlightState="false"/>
</headerInst>

Default font issue in Word for Mac 2011 on Mavericks.

I'm using Word for Mac 2011 on Mavericks. When I copy Chinese text into a Word document, Word for some reason assigns it a Japanese font (MS 明朝). When I try to switch between English and Chinese input methods (command + space), the system constantly defaults to Japanese input. This can even happen if I save the entire document (command + A) in Chinese font (宋体). Where can I change this behaviour? I've looked in Word Preferences and System Preferences but can find nothing.
Notes:
a. This behaviour is not just a Word problem. It never happened in OS 10.6.
b. Please don't tell me to just close the Japanese IME because I also use Japanese.

Apple preferences are kind of irrelevant for Word. The place to look for Tools > Language is in the Word menu itself. And the keyboard/font matching box is in Word preferences/Edit/Editing Options.

Indesign CS4 - Export to SWF and font issue

Hello,
How do you embed a font in an Indesign CS4 document when you are going to export it to an SWF file?
I have an Indesign CS4 document that uses a particular font. This document is then exported to an SWF file which is then uploaded in our intranet website. When users view the internal website, the SWF font uses a different font like Times New Romans. I do not get this issue because I have the particular font used in that document installed on my machine.
Are there any work arounds for this issue other than distributing the font used in that exported SWF file?

InDesign should embedd fonts by default when exported to swf... may be you have some protected font in use? do you have problems with other fonts too? Quick and dirty workaround is convert your text to outlines... not good one but fast...

Acrobat and font issues

I believe acrobat has a limit in number of system fonts. I have to close Extensis (reducing the number of system fonts) in order to make pdfs wiith my non-Adobe applications. This is a pain since I usually have to close all adobe applications to produce a pdf in applications like Word, etc. Does anyone know of a better work around.

I normally get a message that amounts to file not created because font not found message. I am not getting that message today, but I recently increased the size of my virtual memory. Apps like Word and Quicken were at least creating the file, but using the wrong fonts. I then unchecked the rely on system fonts switch and it seems to be working for now.
I read somewhere that Acrobat could only handle about 300 active system fonts so I assumed that was the problem...especially since the applications could produce pdfs when Extensis was closed, thus removing the fonts it manages. I guess I could have put some of the system fonts under Extensis' control, but I was afraid that I might remove vital fonts that some application needed and cause all kinds of problems like not being able to read anything when an application opened up or something crazy like that.
Anyway, problem solved for now. Thanks.

BPEL Portlets and Font issue in 10.1.4

We have successfully register the BPEL portlet in Oracle Portal 10.1.4. However, whenever we include a BPEL portlet on a page, it seems to change all the fonts??? Removing the portlet, and the fonts are better again.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
BradW

So, it looks as though the issue is with the Stylesheet used by the portlets. They use TR and TD elements etc which look as though they may override the other stylesheets inside the portal. Bad design by Oracle. Will be adding to my enhancement list...

FrameMaker Console Box and Font Issue

I work in an office that uses an automated process to import XML files into FrameMaker 11. After importing, the files are formatted into FM11 documents. We are working in a Windows 7 environment.
We recently upgraded the Zapf Dingbats font family to ITC Zapf Dingbats Std font family.
When I import the xml file, I am receiving the following FrameMaker Console message:
The "Zapfdingbats" Font Family is not available.
It will be replaced by "Adobe Pi Std".
I was advised to add the following line of code to the maker.ini file:
[UnknownToKnownFontMap]
Zapfdingbats, *,*= ITC Zapf Dingbats Std,*,*
After making this change, when I import an xml file, the FrameMaker Console box is displaying the following message:
The "Zapfdingbats" Font Family is not available.
It will be replaced by "ITC Zapf Dingbats Std".
What is causing the FrameMaker Console box to display and what can I do to prevent it from displaying? I am working with multiple templates, EDDs, and Rules files. This message is displaying for all of the imports that I am performing.
Any assistance with this issue will be appreciated.

You can turn off display of the Console window by:
Look in the Preferences for "Show File Translation Errors" (corresponding
to the ShowErrors setting in the maker.ini file). According to the
online manuals:
ShowErrors determines if error messages are displayed in the console
window when they occur

CS5.5 photoshop and fonts issue

I have CS 5.5 creative master suite. I use it on my old computer window vista 32 bit 4 gig RAM no problem.
I just upgrade my brand new computer window 7 / 64 bit 8 gig of RAM, intel(R) core (tm) i7-4770 CPU 3.4 Ghz, suppose to be much better and faster.
I install my CS5.5 creative master collection on my new computer, everything seem ok, except PhotoShop is very slow. I also recently install about 5 thousand fonts in my font folder.
and then Photoshop became extremely slow, for example when I move my mouse it takes about 30 second for the arrow to move.
any advice please help.
I also plan to install maximum RAM to 32 but it is expensive .
P.S. I follow the instruction to install fonts by drag and drop to font folder from control. Is this correct or there is a better way to install and manage fonts.
I know that there are other users that have a massive fonts suite , how do they manage it with out slow down the computer? (actually only photoshop is slow down, but everything else still fast)
AI is ok even with new added fonts .

Welcome to the forum.
Having 5000 fonts will slow down Ps, AI, InDesign, and probably some other programs.
I would look into adding a "font manager." I use the Extensis Suitcase, but there are others, including the highly praised, free FontFrenzy.
Though I have about 19,000 fonts, I seldom have more than about 350 installed on my system, at any one time.
I have my fonts grouped by Project, Client, their styles, and a half-dozen other characteristics. When needed, I just activate the Font Set, that is needed, and deactivate it, when done.
Good luck, and let us know if using a font manager makes life easier for you.

Slow menu and font issue!

This morning when I turned on my vision box it was running slow and the menus/tv guides were changing very slowly as I was navigating between channels to see what was on.
I thought maybe it was my box messing up so I turned it off and left it (and my hub) switched off most of the day. I have just turned everything back on and it still the same.
The font when browsing tv guide/on demand is clearly different and sortof thinner than usual and it doesnt look rite at all and the menus are really slow and sluggish when browsing stuff.
Has there been an update to bt vision in the last 24 hours or so or is this a known problem and can anyone tell me how to fix it because its extremely annoying?
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I switched off my vision box for about 5 hours yesterday but when I turned it back on the problem is still the same.
When im navigating the tv guide or ondemand menus like scrolling through (Film, Tv, Replay...) it scrolls really slowly and blury and the font has changed. The font remains the same on the menu titles at the top but its deffinately changed when browsing the Tv guide or through shows/movies.
Its a lot thinner..before yesterday all the text/show titles were like: Doctor Who but now its all like: Doctor Who ...really thin and I can hardly read them.
Its been like this since Sunday/early Monday. Are you sure there hasnt been any updates in that time? or anything that could have caused this because noones touched the settings or anything like that its just happened on its own.
I hope someone can help because its driving me nuts and straining my eyes

Anyone struggling with gestures and font issuer since upgrading to Lion?

I am really frustrated since "uprgrading " to Lion!! I no longer have pinch and zoom functions except in safari!
wont work in any other program, including my desktop! I have tried resetting trackpad, restarting-- any other suggestions?
I also can't adjust the font size anymore? In mail I can only adjust the side bar to small or large? No controls over font in address book.
Am I missing a setting?

Hi,
Have you disable the adobe flash accerlator? or how about your wifi setting? is it a WPA? If yes, changed to WEP.

Word 2003 - Acrobat menus disappear for some (not all) documents

I have a user who is having a very bizarre issue with Word 2003 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When he opens some Word documents, the PDF menus disappear. They are immediately restored when he closes the document or creates a new document. We've tried repairing and uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail. He uses several custom templates, but they are applied at startup to all documents. Any other troubleshooting ideas? Could the fact that he's using Word 2003 instead of 2007 be causing the problem?
Thanks

More information: I just checked the version of the file I had on my hard drive, and it's doing the same thing there. However, the other similar documents in the same folder on my hard drive are not behaving this way, so apparently it's not specifically
a SharePoint issue.

Error message when publishing from Captivate 4 to MS Word 2003

Is anyone else getting an error message when publishing from Captivate 4 to MS Word 2003? I tried all 4 types and still get the following:
"An error was encountered while publishing to Word. Verify the following and try again. Word is installed on your system. Word is not busy."
Word is installed on my system and was not in use, so I am not sure why the error. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there
I use Captivate 4 and it publishes to Word 2003 without issues.
Perhaps it has to do with the way your Word 2003 has been installed? Either that or it's a "rights" issue to be addressed by your IT propellerheads?
Cheers... Rick
