Is it possible for text to span over two column?

Gurus,
I have a two column document and my Chapter/Book title has to be place center on page over the two column and the paragraph underneath is to be place in each column, i want to used only one text frame for all the text, can i span the Chapter title over the column or just make another frame?

You can create frames anywhere you want. I usually do that -- move the 2 column frame down and insert a new frame at the top. You can connect the top frame with the rest, so the text runs through it (and you can see when and where text reflows), or you can simply let it exist as a stand-alone frame. In both cases you have to move the frame if you have a major text reflow.
A cunning trick that might work for you is to insert a table instead. The table (one row, one column) can be dragged wider than its containing text frame. You will have to move down the text in the right hand side column manually, though.
More control over columns is definitively on my wish list! In ye olde WordPerfect 4.0 (about 1984) one could switch columns on and off at will, anywhere on a page ...

Powerpoint full screen/span over two monitors

Hi,
I have looked around, but I have not been able to find the answer to this question.
I have two monitors where I want powerpoint to display the presentation in full.
As it is now you can only have it display on one monitor (no I don't want or am talking about the presentator view).
But I want it to span over both of them not having to start two powerpoints in windowed and stretching them on each monitor.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Donn Gwuan

Hi,
Do you want to show one presentation crossover two monitor at the same time?
If it is, please try the following steps:
Go to Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Display>Screen Resolution>Multiple display> Extend these displays
Go to the presentation on the Slide Show tab>Select it to show on the Secondary Monitor >Check on Use Presenter View as shown below.

How to center title text and table across two columns

Hello,
I want to be able to center a table and its title across a two column page. The pages where I want to do this contain text in both columns or text in the left column and graphics in the right. On the same pages as the text and graphics, I'd like to center, across both columns, a table with a title. What is the best way to do this?
If I insert the table in the left column, I can size it to fit over both columns but I can't type directly into the cells that cover the right column (I can type in the cells covering the right column if I Tab to them but it's tedious and doesn't seem right). With the table's title, I've tried using the Across All Columns paragraph setting, but the text stays in the column the paragraph marker is in.
We are using Frame 8 on Windows XP Professional. The Master pages are Right and Left pages that are set up with two columns, both tagged as A with the Autoconnect feature on so that the text flows from the bottom of the left column to the top of the right.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Tim

Yes, equal-sized columns. No, they're always equal. And that answers
David's question: you're using two frames because you want unequal columns.
Frame's paragraph-level column controls only work on columns made by
dividing a single frame into two or more columns. So you're back to
square one: you need two frames because your columns are unequal; you
need one frame so you can span columns.
Another possibility is that you might set up your document with a
sidehead column, but I hesitate to recommend this because I still can't
quite envision what your layout looks like. Any chance you can post a
PDF somewhere?

Super-impose an image over two columns

Hello,
I know how to create a two columns within a page using <div>. However, what is the best way to create a structure such that the image is super-imposed over the two columns and float the text around the image, which is on a different level (see attached). Please advise which rules should I use in CSS3 to make that happen.
Thanks

This is how I've done it in the past, it's a pretty decent fake float:center...

Is it possible to sync your music over two ipods?

I have a 32 GB iPod touch and am getting an iPhone 8GB. Would it be possible to spread my iTunes music collection over the two devices and not have any problem with syncing ? Maybe if I did it manually instead of automatic or something like that?
Thanks guys for assisting.

You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.
Open itunes, connect one, select what you want to sync, sync, disconnect.
Connect other one, select what you want to sync, sync, disconnect.
and so on.

Reason for ms-addcolumn-span as one column in ListView and can we hide it

We are customizing the sharepoint look and feel and came across a column header in the list view with child span element as below
<th class="ms-vh-icon" scope="col" title="">
<span class="ms-addcolumn-span"></span>
</th>
As we are having a alternate colored bands to the list view, this extra column is making the view look weird.
Using javascript I can hide, but wanted to be sure if I am not causing any issues

Hiding any element at client side should not create any issue, please use css display property to hide a column
//javascript
yourelement.style.display = "None";
// or jquery
$("yourselector").hide();
Thanks

Drop-down menu in table cells - how to expand over the column width?

Hello!
A client is migrating their 2,400 forms from old JetForms to PDF (LiveCycle Designer) and would like to keep the same functionalities he's used to in the old platform. However, some of the old tool features do not seem to be present in LiveCycle.
Suppose a drop-down menu in a table cell, containing items which lengths are bigger than the table column. In JetForm, when you open the drop-down it spans over the columns to show all its contents, not cutting the drop-down list contents.
I tried this in LiveCycle, but the drop-down gets cut and its contents are limited to the table column (hence the drop-down menu) width.
Is there a way to work around this limitation, even if I have to use some scripting?
Thank you for any ideas!
Marcos

Hi again, Niall!
Thank you again for your great examples!
The dynamic width drop-down will cover some of the client's expectations.
However, they would like it to work even when the drop-down is within a table cell with a width smaller than the width they want the drop-down to show when the mouse enters the field.
I'm afraid you will say this is not possible... Or at least not without a lot of coding, using subforms or the like.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much!
Marcos

Is it possible for a third party to be added to an esatblished text message thread?

Is it possible for a third party to be added to a text message thread (between 2 people). This test message thread has been established for over a year! He says he could see our message history via his icloud. Is this possible? Please help.....

How "third party" are we talking about here.....? Not another user (usually family) who has access to the same Apple Id, is it? I know, that seems too obvious.....
Could you explain the situation a little more? Did you or the other party forward your iMessage ("text" between "i" devices/Mac users) to this 3rd party? How did this 3rd party end up with any portion of your conversation (or is that the question)? I know it is easy to forward a portion of your conversation to another user. When you choose to forward a "text bubble", you receive round check boxes next to all messages in the conversation; you just pick and choose how much you want the 3rd party to receive. Other than that method, I know of no way to loop in a 3rd party to an existing conversation via iPhone or iPad.
Anyone else?
Best of luck,
Bill

Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack

Is it possible for your iphone to be hacked so that someone can text message people in your contacts (and send pictures)? If so can you trace the hack and how can you stop it?

Ugh I am not doing any of those things.
I do have alot of issues with my email getting hacked often, could that have anything to do with it?
I also do not believe my phone is jailbroken but to be honest I am not very smart with this.
Basically text messages (inappropriate) were sent to a person in my contacts...and a text message conversation was had for about 30 that I had no idea was even going on. I noticed it on my ipad later (they are synced and normally recieve all the same messages etc). The conversation then just ended out of no where.
Very odd...and I am nervous that someone has control over my phone.

Is it possible for a multilingual Flash application that pulls in dynamic text?

My client requires an app that displays 6 languages, including English, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Greek and Vietnamese.
The content for all 6 of these languages must also pull data from either Flash vars or XML.
I heard that there are problems with Arabic text being flipped over, and I'm finding it hard to nail down the right fonts to use. Has anyone had any experience / advice with this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
G

Ok, so I've started running into problems already with Arabic, but also for what I thought were simple Latin-based languages like Vietnamese. It turns out that I cannot simply enter Vietnamese text with all its punctuation into something like an XML data source - it needs some kind of escaped version of the text, or unicode, or whatever... man this is gonna take some researching unless someone can provide some insight!

Is it possible for widgets in dashboard to float over other windows?

I'm trying to assess features in Mavericks in comparison to Snow Leopard (the OS I'm most familiar with). I usually read the Missing Manual for the new OSes, but haven't gotten to all areas yet - it's a big book!
Is it possible for widgets in dashboard to float over other windows?
I want to be able to see the calculator widget for example while I'm also working in a Bills template document in Word, or over my back account page while viewing in Safari. Or look at words in Thesaurus while viewing a document I'm writing in Word, or even an email in Mail. In OS 10.6 widgets on the dashboard float above the other windows, but I can see them both at the same time. It looks like Dashboard is all by itself in Mavericks. Is this the case and the only way to view widgets now, is by themselves in their own isolated environment? Any work around?
Thanks.

You can assign a "hot corner" with System preferences > Mission Control > Hot corners to bring up your dashboard anytime you want quickly by moving the mouse to the corner. Works really well.

Recruitment Faxing & e-mailing only possible for standard text in SAPscript

Hi,
I am using the old recruitment module PA-RC ion ECC6 and I am trying to send an email to an applicant. When I try and do this I get message "Faxing and e-mailing only possible for standard text in SAPscript". In feature WPROC I am set up to use RTF. Is there no way to send RTF emails? Do I need to create SapScripts for anything that I may possibly want to email?
Thanks
