Keyboarded slash character transformed into space in all Office applications.

OK in Notepad and Open Office applications.
I have verified keyboard is OK and is only set to English.
//////////////////////////////// Obviously OK here.

This could be an AutoCorrect entry; these are shared between Office applications.
In Word, do the following: Click File tab | Options | Proofing. Click the AutoCorrect Options button. On the AutoCorrect tab, look for an entry with "/"; select it and click Delete. Then click OK twice.

PDF Maker Problems in All Office Applications

The PDF Maker add-in shows in the add-in add-in manager as ACTIVE in Word and Excel 2013 but I see no Acrobat toolbar nor anything related to Acrobat under the generic add-in toolbar. I am using Acrobat XI with Office 2013. Both Acrobat and Word were just updated. I have searched this forum and the internet for a solution but had no success. Also, if anyone knows where to find the serial number, I'd apprecaite it. You can't live chat without it.
Thanks,
Eric
Here's a screenshot:

Hi Vikrant
thanks for the message…..subsequent to posting on the forum, I discovered that the problem was due to the fact that my version of Acrobat Pro - 11.0.00 required updating; once I did this, the problem fixed and the Adobe ribbon appeared again the my office files.
Thanks

Key with a slash character

Hello,
In my tests I see that when I add a key component that contains a slash character "/", Oracle NoSQL encodes it as "%2F".
For example:
ArrayList<String> majorComponents = new ArrayList<String>();
majorComponents.add("forums.oracle.com/community");
Key myKey = Key.createKey(majorComponents);
System.out.println(myKey.toString());
this prints:
forums.oracle%2Fcommunity
I tried to URLDecode.decode the string before I add it to the majorComponents but it doesn't work.
Therefore, my question is if there is a way to have a key that contains slash characters. Please have in mind that I would prefer not to split the string into multiple components every time a slash character occurs in the string.
Thank you very much in advance,
Apostolos Giannakidis

Hi,
All Unicode characters are allowed in a key component, including slashes. Your code to create the key is correct, and the key component does contain a slash. The slash is escaped by the Key.toString method for two reasons: 1) to delineate key components, 2) to provide a URI syntax. If you call Key.getMajorPath and look at the component, you'll see the un-escaped slash. The Key.toString javadoc contains complete documentation of the string format.

Problem with slash character in CONTAINS queries

Hi there,
i've got a problem with a CONTAINS query using Oracle Text.
The following query works fine:
select col1 from my_table_text where contains(text,'%02%')>0;
When i'm trying the query
select col1 from my_table_text where contains(text,'%02/%')>0;
the following error occurs:
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-50937: query too complex
I didn't find anywhere that the slash has a special meaning (escape character or something else). This occurs only when the slash character is positioned immediately after or before the % operator. The search string '%0/2%' works.
Oracle version: 9.2.0.1.0
OS: Solaris 8 SPARC
Maybe someone can help me.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I think you want to search for all words having '02/'.
Am I right? In that case try using '02//'
Yes. '/' means escape character. So when it finds '/%' it tries to escape '%'.
Hope this helps.

Anupama

Web Dynpro - transform into PDF format

Hi all,
I would need your help. Now I am participating at a Web Dynpro project and one task is to realize PDF transformation and printing of Web Dynpro forms.
That means we would place a button on the form called "Transform to PDF". If a user push this button in the browser, the page he is seeing has to be transformed into the PDF format and later printed as a normal PDF file.
What is the best way to implement this?
Thanks,
Oleksandr

There is no real alternative for the 'print screen' in WD4A, or the 'print' button (CTRL-P). But what you could do (if there are not too many screens to be printed) is this:
Create a smartform (or adobe form for that matter), and call this after the print button is pressed. Display the smartform as preview, for where it can be printed via adobe reader.

Letter with accent transformed into chinese ideograms

When I digit a letter with an accent (such as è, ò, à, which are quite common in the Italian vocabulary) into an email, the addressee receive the email with those characters transformed into chinese ideograms.
Is there any solution?

hello,
for question 1) you didn't match Bifocals' expectations. If it had been english for example, it would have been a quite serious problem to have strange characters
for question 2), well I guess Bifocals has no clue on what that email provider is (neither do I anyway).
now, for my part : I think there is a discrepancy between the character encoding you are using and the one that is used by your recipient. When you send an email to yourself with some è à or ò : do you receive them correctly ?
when people send you those characters, do you see them correctly ?

Reducing 6 character string into 2 character string

--- So here's part 2 of my problem / This is the follow-up to my previous question ---
--- part 1 of this question is "merging characters into one cell, keeping the order" ---
How can I reduce a 6 character string into the right 2 character string ?
guidelines :
- the 6 character string is made up of up to 3 different characters, being A B C
- all 6 character strings list As first, Bs second and Cs third
- if the 6 character string contains 4 or more of the same characters, it should be reduced into a 2 character string of 2 times that same character
e.g. AAAABC --> AA
- if the 6 character string is AABBCC, then it should be reduced to the 'exception-string' NO
e.g. AABBCC --> NO
- if the 6 character string contains exactly 3 of the same characters, it should be reduced into a 2 character string of the 2 characters that occur most
e.g. ABBBCC --> BC
How do I fit this into just one formula ?
Thanks !

"I was actually thinking about something like :
if ?????? = AABBCC, then NO,
else : if ?????? contains A, B and C,..."
I thought about that awhile and investigated a few dead ends before thinking 'Wait a minute...there are only 28 possible 6 character strings.'
With that low number, the simplest solution is to list them in one column, list the two character result beside each one, then use that as a Lookup Table:
Same table as before.
Column L uses my version of Yvan's formula to produce the string from the entries in columns A,B and C
Column Q uses the string in L as the search key for VLOOKUP to find and return the two character string shown.
Q2: =VLOOKUP(L,Table 2 :: A:B,2,FALSE)
"FALSE" sets the formula to look for an exact-match. Probably unnecessary here, as all possible matches are in Table 2. Here is the top part of that table:
For convenience, here's the full data list for Table 2. Copy and Paste into a new table for your own use.

I would like to know how to insure that all track from a CD I rip into i-tunes all go into the same file regardless of the artist on the CD. I was recdently importing an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one track featured a guest a

i would like to be able to insure that when i import a CD into i-Tunes that all tracks from that CD go into a single file for that album in their proper order regardless of whether or not there is a featured artist on one or two tracks or whatever. i recentl;y imported an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one song featured a guest artist i-Tunes placed that song in a seperate folder and so when i synced my daughters i-Pod Touch that one track is not with the rest of the tracks form the album and has to be listened to seperately. The song is from the same album and should be where it belongs with the rest of that album so she can listen to the entire album with the tracks in the proper order. I am sure that this can be done i just don't know how.

Edit the Name of the problem song to Name [Feat. Guest]
Change the Artist of that song to All Time Low

What you want cannot be done. iTunes has its quirks, and the above is the kind of workaround needed to make the media display sensibly on any device. The article I pointed you to has others that you may find useful in future.

How do I merge two valid, purchased iTunes accounts into one so all my music is in same account?

I have two valid, purchasd iTunes accounts. Older iPod has some great music, I just got a new iPad and set up second iTunes account, bought some more iTunes items for that account. Just discovered iCloud. Now I want to put all my music from both accounts onto the cloud so I can access it on all my apple devices. Can't seem to add from one account to the other. Can sign onto the new account wiht my old iPod, but it will not let me sync without erasing all the music on the device. How can I merge these two accounts into one?
PS Makes you wonder how helpful support is when the usernames "Frustrated," "really frustrated," and "Help!!!!" are all taken...lol

You cannot. iTunes pruchases remian tied to the account they were purchased with.

Why?
Remove your info from new account, update old account as needed and use that.

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

How can I troubleshoot this problem with the iMac keyboard? My keyboard disconnects and reconnects within seconds but all the typing is lost while it was offline. This is usually 5 seconds or less but happens 2 or 3 times in a minute. Annoying!

My wireless keyboard disconnects and reconnects within seconds but all text that was typed during the time offline is missing. i have to go back and retype missing parts. What can I do to troubleshoot this. The computer is only about six month old. This problem is new in the last couple weeks. Thanks for suggestions.

Beat me to it, Donald. But there is a possible alternative. If the batteries have been replaced since new, were they replaced with the same batteries or another make. There are examples around which do not fit perfectly and leave a certain amount of movement inside the battery housing. That could lead to instability such as the OP describes.

My laptop got formatted and so did all my itunes information like music, contacts, and games. So how can I get all that back because if I just plug my iPhone into the laptop all my stuuf that was on my phone will be gone? help please
