Is column spanning available in CS4?

Have a two-column article
in an INDesign CS4 publication.
Would like its headline to span both columns without having to separate the text.
I know VS5 has column spanning, but is there a script in CS4 that allows me to do this?

Here's a link: http://pdsassoc.com/PDSproducts/HeadStraddler/index.php
It will work with a little modification -- as is it does a version check and throws an error message that it only works in CS2, but that only because at the time it was written there were no later versions to try.  You can remove the test in a text editor and it should run fine in CS4.
The lines to remove or comment out are:
if (String(app.version).split(".")[0] != 4) {
     errorExit("This script is compatible only with InDesign CS2.");
at the top of the script. I don't think Dave will mind, especially if you register the product and pay the fee.

  • Column span and crashing

    Hi,
    Is anyone else facing this kind of problem? I have a page with various columns (three). The columns are hosting a narrow, but long table. The introductory paragraphs (title and legend) are spanned across the columns.
    Each time I do any edit (applying a text style, deleting a line) InDesign freezes. I get this kind of error in the Console:

    I reported this to Adobe, but I would see if anyoady has a workaround. I solved using the old way (separated text frames), but this prevents one of the features of CS5.

    I tried to reproduce the crashing that Eugene reported, and could not. I have a decent C2D with 4 gigs of RAM, and with those specs all I could do was experience slightly-slower-than-expected performance when working with column-spanning headers. However, when I start my Ubuntu VM, and start the processes that cause it to consume about 2 gigs of RAM, then my system specs degrade to the minimum RAM acceptable to ID (just more than 2 gigs) and I start experiencing multi-second delays.
    My hunch is that this particular feature requires more resources than the minimum spec from Adobe... or that a buggy plugin is crashing when it doesn't do garbage collection quick enough to prevent the host system from running out of available RAM. Just a hunch, I'm not a developer at all, but the whole thing smells like a memory leak to me. I could never get it to crash, though, so perhaps I'm only muddying the path with my posts about my attempts to reproduce it.

  • Dynamically set number-columns-spanned

    Hi all,
    I have a cross tab which has a dynamic number of columns. Each column has a header "Location" (which is determined by the data), but the table also has a master header "Volume" which should span all of the locations. How can I acheive this?
    I currently have:
    <xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="number-columns-spanned">2</xsl:attribute> Volumne
    But this is obviously static.
    Many Thanks
    Andy

    Hi lmd2,
    Attached is a quick example of one way to do what you are asking. This is only a general example, and there may be a bettter implementation depending on the architecture of your application.  The link here also has information on setting the number of sockets for a specific sequence file. Hope this helps.

  • Column span in an HGrid

    Hi All-
    Is it possible to have a column span in an Hgrid?
    I see in oracle technology stack that Column span is allowed on Hgrid,but not sure how to achieve this.
    If someone has any idea please share..that would be great help for me in design.
    PLEASE SUGGEST!!!!
    Thanks,
    Nagu

    I tried some things with the custom pl/sql heading in report attributes, but couldn 't get it to work unfortunately.
    When using the pl/sql function, you can generate the header just by entering:
    return ' empno:empname:options' . I hoped I could inject some html code into the return value in order to create extra columns, but the results are inpredictable.
    It can make a huge difference if you viewyour html in FF or IE. Even between versions of IE there are differences. Not much you can do about that, except writing different versions of (parts of) the page for IE or FF if it' s really crucial.

  • Panel Grid Layout: Column Span unexpected behavior.

    Whenever in a Panel Grid Layout, when i give a cell to span over multiple columns(2,3,4 or any), the cell is spanned over the entire row only.. Why does this behavior happens? In JDeveloper, the spanning is shown correctly in design tab and preview tab.

    Hi Amanda,
    I believe I have discovered the cause of the issue you are facing.
    The problem is with the "Alert Region" region template and that it does not have any display points specified so indicate the number of grids that can fit in its region body. Without having any display points, the grid layout system attempts to use all columns available to its container. However, because the Alert Region has additional padding within, the columns will not fit and wrap to the next line.
    To fix this issue, you will have to modify the "Alert Region" region template, go to "Display Points" and click Add Row. You will need to enter the following fields:
    Name: Region Body
    Template Substitution: BODY
    Grid Support: Checked
    Maximum Fixed Grid Columns: -1
    This will fix the issue for you. I've logged a bug within our bug system to track this so we can fix it in a future release of APEX.
    Best,
    Shakeeb

  • Column not available after personalization to be included in user views

    My client is trying to add a new column in the Cost Details table in the Task Summary page (Under Project Performance Reporting in PJT) through personalization. They are on 11i.PA.RUP3
    They have an extended VO which basically is based on the standard Oracle VO with few additional attributes. My client is able to create an item of MessageStyleText and add as a column in the base HGrid, view the data which was displayed but that newly added column does not appear in the list of available columns when they try to create a personalized view either by duplicating the seeded views like ITD and PTD or from the scratch.
    This works absolutely fine in R12, but in 11i, we are having this problem. Does any one can comment, if this is framework issue? or is there any patch already available for this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Devasish

    Good day!
    My answer may be too late for you, but my experience will probably be useful for others.
    To add a field from ANLZ in dynamic selection fields you need to add the same field to structure ANLAV by means of an append-structure. Then you have to add this field to view V_ANLAZ by means of an append-view. After this you'll have the fortunate opportunity to see the needed field among the dynamic selection fields in LBD ADA.

  • How to specify column span for a row in grid panel

    In a grid panel with 4 columns, how to set one of the rows to span all 4 columns?

    I don't think it's possible with the standard JSF component. There are no hooks to get it to emit a rowspan attribute on the <td> it will render for each cell. There is a hook to get it to add a styleclass, but that won't help with colspans and rowspans.

  • Column Span property

    Hi All,
    Jdeveloper 11.1.5
    I have a treeTable. Inside one of the columns of the treeTable I have a Table.
    I want to span that table across the whole treeTable. How can I achieve this?
    Pls help.

    Sorry.
    Actually I am not allowed to share my code..I am re-explaining the scenario..
    I have a commandlink in the first column of my treeTable. Just on click of that commandLink a Table is displayed just beneath the commandLink that spans over the entire treeTable. How can I make the new Table to be displayed span over the existing treeTable.

  • How to implement row span and column span in JTable.

    Hi,
    How do we implement Col span and row span in JTable as in Html.
    Kindly help.
    Thank You

    Although I suppose you could extend JTable to support column and row spans, this would involve a lot of of work and quite a few hacks. I think you will be better off either creating a new custom JComponent with an appropriate model for this purpose or using an existing solution such as [JIDE Grids|http://www.jidesoft.com/products/grids.htm] which includes a CellSpanTable.

  • GuiXT- Command 'column' not available

    hi Gurus,
    1] I am getting a error in GuiXt command 'column'
        The command line in BOM CS02 transcation is,

        Earlier same command line was working and i was getting a column named   
        AvStock in CS02, without any changes now after some days system says 
        that command 'column' is not available. This applies to all different systems
        (PC's) GUI for same server.
    2] What are all settings should be done to get the effect of changes through GuiXt

    Thanks in advance,

  • Quit Button no more available PS CS4 (11.0.2) !?

    The issue appear few weeks ago, after some update (Adobe Updater 6).
    I did uninstall Photoshop with Uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS4 and re-install it with Adobe CS Master Collection CD/DVD. I did re-install Alien Skin Plugins Filters too.
    The issue persist.
    After open Alien Skin plugins filters (Bokeh, Exposure 2, Eye candy 6 / Text Selection, Eye Candy 6 / Texture Noise, Image Doctor, Snap Art 2, Splat or Xenofex 2) even without apply any of those filters, QUIT button in Photoshop CS4  menu is no more available (Grayish). I must use Force Quit Apple menu to leave the application.
    I may continue to use the App normally, but can't QUIT anymore.

    At least one of your plugins has a bug in it.
    Try disabling them to find which one is causing the problem.
    And check with the plugin makers to see if there are updates.
