Is it possible to insert white space that will track like other characters?

I'm working with Indesign CS3, and have a problem with white space, inserted as a special character - in this case, a sixth space, used for the space between initials of a cited author: A. B. White, or whatever. Between the point after A and the B, I've inserted sixth-spaces in each instance. But when the automatic tracking sets the text, those white spaces don't seem to be adjusted in the same way as the rest. So when a line is unusually tight, the space in question looks too large, and vice versa.
Is it possible - either in CS3 or, as a matter of interest, in CS4 or 5 - to insert white space that will track automatically as lines are adjusted?
Many thanks in advance...

Well, here's a classic:
1) Set some type in French. Use a thin space or a 1/6 space before punctuation. (That's what you are supposed to do in French - there's always a space before many kinds of punctuation.)
2) Hand off the file to someone else.
3) "Someone else" tracks the paragraph to -40 (without understanding that the paragraph is now barely legible).
If it's a fixed thin space, there is still a space in front of the punctuation. Due to the tracking abuse, it's now roughly the same size as a "normal" space-bar space. If it's not a fixed-width space, it has now disappeared. Tracking of -40 is ugly, but no space in front of punctuation in French is out-and-out wrong.

  • Is it possible to exclude white space from creating records using UNPIVOT

    SELECT

Is it possible to exclude white space from creating records using UNPIVOT? I am just looking for syntax if there any. thanks

    Hi,
    Sorry, it's very unclear what you want.
    Whenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
    See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
    Have you tried the the UNPIVOT EXCLUDE NULLS option? See the SQL Language manual for details.
    It that doesn't do what you want, then you may need to UNPIVOT in a sub-query, generating more rows than you want, and use a WHERE clause in the main query to remove the unwanted rows.

  • A form field to insert white space

    Hi all,
    I need to insert some white space (the number of these white space is depending to some condition) in a form field.
    I show in my report a value and then I must complete this value with some white space to have finally a string with a fixed number of characters.
    I have a form field with a value (<?VALUE?>) and then I would insert a new form field to show only some white space. I can not add these white space directly on the field form containing the value.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to create a bean that will generate (fill up) applet paramet

    Hi all,
    As a newbie I was asking myself is it possible to create a bean that will fill up applet parameter or directly generate the applet ??
    And I can I create it ?
    I mean : Having a jsp page that make reference to the bean, the bean shall generatehtml applet parameter values.
    Some samples will be welcome or a template.
    Thanks in advance
    Shamann

    Thanks a lot for your reply siv viv,
    I've posted this thread because I'm a little bit disappointed with Applet and jsp according to lot of thread about this subject (it seems that communication between applet and jsp is not easy : bug reported).
    The basic thing i want to do is to create a dynamic Pie Chart as applet or bean so i need to set applet parameter thanks to variables.
    See the http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=80250 this one is putting me in the dark.

  • I am looking for an iPhone 3G  App that will track your daily travels.

    I am looking for an App that will track your daily travels. Say you spend a day walking through NYC. At the end of the day you want to know how far you walked... see on a map where you walked and when you were at a specific spot. Does such an application for the 3G exist? If it doesn't... it should!

    Hi,
    Yes I realize that this would be a drain of the 3G battery... but it would be a great thing for the few days a year we do something like walk all around NYC and later would like a record of where we had been, how far we had walked etc. This would not be an everyday thing.

  • HDV 1080i60: Output high quality video that will work on other computers?

    Hi,
    I just made a quicktime movie (not conversion) of my HDV 1080i60 video project, but it will not play on other computers...
    My question:
    What is the best workflow for outputting a HQ HDV movie, from FCP6, that will play on other computers/platforms?
    Please help! On a deadline.

    Thanks Studio!!!
    I will use H.264.
    I also discovered that copying the AppleHDVCodec.component (from my HD >> Library >> Quicktime folder) to the other Mac, will allow me to play the video too... But optimally, I would like to not worry about codecs.
    Anyway, many many many thanks Studio! You rock!
    Have a great night.
    Cheers,

  • Is it possible to have a button that will insert a table row rather than add it to the end?

    I have an add row button that works correctly using addinstance, but I would like to have the add row button at the end of each row so a user could insert a row into the middle of existing/fiilled out rows.  Is this possible?  I would like to be able to do this using Formcalc as that is what all of my scripting in the form currently is.

    Hi,
    Yes, it is possible, but in effect what the script does is add a new row at the end of the table AND then move the row up to the approrpiate position.
    See the examples here: http://assure.ly/gk8Q7a. Table 5 is a Table object, whereas Table 6 is built using subforms. In both cases the Index number is a button, that adds a row below the existing one clicked.
    See does that help,

  • Possible to enlarge white space by changing page size?

    Greetings.  I'm using Acrobat 10 pro now, but in 9  it was possible to enlarge the white space around the text by changing the page size as part of the crop command.  This was very handy for creating an area large enough for text box comments.  I can't find this capability in 10.  Am I, hopefully, mistaken?

    Select: Tools > Pages > Crop
    and then double-click on the page. You'll then get the Crop dialog and you can select a larger page size in the CHange Page Size area.

    If you don't have Applecare you can usually get a refurbished unit from an Apple Retail Store cut price - though they may not have any 3 models in stock and you may be 'forced' to upgrade to a 3GS.
