Layout Builder & Runtime Layout differences. How to make them the same ?

When I design my layout, I run the form (with generic look and feel) and the layouts arent the same.
There is more space between lines on prompts, and where I have several rectangles intersecting at edges, they are in slightly different positions on the runtime, making things look very messy.
Presumably these layout builder is meant to show you the layout you will get at runtime ?
Seems a bit of a pain if you have to run the form, then making a few adjustments, rerun it to see if things are in the right place etc.
Any ideas what I can do about it anyone ?

Hi Garry,
I beleive My explanation about the case is not clear,
I want to migrate a .fmb file developed in Forms4.5 (Character Mode) to the Latest version say Forms 9i(GUI).
As I opened the file in the Forms9i environment some automatic validation and migration took place.
In the Layout editor the Items appeared displaced as the effect of conversion from Character mode file to BitMap file. So I manually Increased the Width of each Text Item to a single Space. (Note: Iam not using the ifcmp90.exe syntax as I didnot go upto the compilation level as of now).
I increased the width of the text items to one space to adjust the bevel effects of the web deployed forms.
I moved the objects to exactly position before the prompts
and as frames are not available in the character mode they have used straight line objects to seperate the items in the layout. These Lines I resized to adjust the form to accomodate the increased width items.
But I moved these lines a bit apart from the items and increased the vertical space between the items in the header section . These two changes alone is not taking place.
If this your understanding, kindly let me know how to send the sample to Oracle Support

MapIDs - How to make them the same as the Filename.htm?

Hi All,
I'm fairly new to Robohelp, hoping the experts can take it easy on me!
We're in the process of converting our old WinHelp projects to Microsoft HTML Help projects. We previously had 10 separate .HLP files for our project, we're hoping to condence all of those into a single CHM file.
In our previous projects, our MapIDs were as follows from the .HH file:
#define HELP_Add_Cables    6171
#define HELP_Add_Column    6181
#define HELP_Add_Control_Unit    6537
#define HELP_Add_Copy    17043
etc.
After converting our projects from WinHelp->MS HTML Help, each one of these topics created a new HTM file, ie: "Help_Add_Cables.htm", fine, no problem. But when I bring up the "Edit Map IDs" dialog, its now showing me the Topic ID ("How to Add Cables"), and not the HELP_XXX_XXX name that is used throughout our product. As a result, we would have to go through our source code and update approximately 1000 Map IDs - yuck!
Is there a way to force this dialog to use the Filename, and not the Topic Name to generate the .h file? Is there some fancy editing I can do in Ultraedit instead of using Robohelp to get the result I want?
I notice there is an alias file as well, that appears to correspond between the Topic Name, and the .HTM Filename.
We were previously using Robohelp 5.xx, and recently upgraded to 8.0.1.204.
Anyhelp you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Mike.

Hi,
I created a small RH script that quickly assigns TopicId's and mapnumbers to your topics, based on the filename. Hope it helps.
First, the script adds a map file called 'RHScriptMapFile'. No checks whether it exists or not.
Then, creates a TopicId for each topic based on the file name. It just strips the '.htm' from the filename and replaces spaces in the name with underscores. A sequential mapid is added. The script is nothing fancy, but I hope it shows how you can quickly create a script that will save you from changing a thousand id's by hand.
CreateContextSensitivity();
function CreateContextSensitivity() {
   var MapManager = RoboHelp.project.MapIdManager;
     var MapfileName = 'RHScriptMapFile';
     MapManager.newMapFile(MapfileName);
     MapManager.setCurMapFile(RoboHelp.project.path+'\\'+MapfileName+ '.h');
     var topicmanager = RoboHelp.project.TopicManager;
     for(var i=1;i<=topicmanager.count;i++)
          topic = topicmanager.item(i);
          var TopicId = GetTopicId(topic);
          MapManager.newMapId(TopicId, i);
          MapManager.assign(TopicId, topic.path);
     alert('Context sensitivity created in map file '+MapfileName);
function GetTopicId(topic) {//Get the topic id based on the filename
     var FileEnd = /\.htm/g;//Strip .htm from the filename
     var Forbidden = /( )/g;//Strip forbidden characters from the filename.
     var ID = topic.filename.replace(FileEnd, '');
     return ID.replace(Forbidden, '_');

I use Firefox at work and home. I have different screens on thee two computers. I can't figure out how to make them the same even though all settings match.

At home the address bar etc is grey but my settings are for rose. At work using the colour settings the address bar is rose. I have a different setup with icons on the two screens. At home I have the refresh icon between the search bar and address bar, at work I can't find the refresh icon. I have tried customizing and all I still can't the same screens. Both computers are running Windows XP. I believe I am running the same version of Firefox in both computers.

How to make hyperlinks the same colour

Hi,
I'm pretty new to indesign and i'm slowly picking it up. In my excitement of getting my work done I started hyperlinking some links in my content. Only problem is that the colour is not consistent for the hyperlinks as I had to do them one by one and thus the colours are slighty off. Is there a way I can select all hyperlinks and make them the same colour?
Thanks for any input.

Go to the Swatches panel and in the menu click on "Add Unnamed Colours" (unless you already have them in your swatches menu). Then rationalise those swatches by deleting them and replacing them with the one you want. From now on use that swatch to make your hyperlink. Better yet use a style for it.

Slideshow, how to make clip the same length as audio file?

Hi
I've got several PowerPoint presentations and need to make an MP4 video file for each of them. I know how to export the slides as still images, and I also have the audio files broken up into individual mp3 files that match each slide.
I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way of getting the slides and audio files synced in Premiere Elements.
Yesterday I imported all of the png images and mp3 audio files into my project. But I had to individually add each image, followed by the mp3, and then in the timeline manually stretch the image to make it last the same length of time as the audio file. It was rather tedious and I have a lot of presentations with many slides to work with. I'm sure there must be some better way to make all of this happen, right?
Can anyone help me out here?
1. Is there a way to make the image clip match the time of the audio clip?
2. Is there a way to import all of the audio and image files at once (given they have the same names) and have PE automatically associate the image clip with the audio file?
Thanks, Derek

1. You can place the audio file in the Audio 1 track of the timeline first (Timeline, not sceneline)
2. Next drop the image to where the audio file starts. Now press "\" key
3. Drag the end of the clip to exactly where the audio ends. Whe you are near the end of the audio with the drag it should simply stick to it.
4. Group the audio and image file together (Right click and select group after selecting both these together)
5. Select the clip and do a right click and use the Fade-In and out option. You can fade in the video and let the audio simply continue. This makes it look and sound good.
6. Place the next audio file and go on doing the same till all of them are done. The grouping step is not needed but when you keep working with PRE, you might just thank me for it!
I tried all these steps just as I was typing this post, so I can tell you for sure that PrE10 works as if it is designed JUST for this use case. So hoping you get to complete the project on time and with good quality!

HT4906 My computer and iphone have different photos in their photo streams. How can I make them the same?

My photo stream on my iPhone 5 has 721 photos in it. But my photo stream on my macbook air has only 211 photos in it. The accounts do seem to be sync'd, because when I delete a photo from a stream in one device it gets automtaically deleted in the other device in 2 seconds (works both ways when I delete either from my phone or my mac).
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to completely snc them up?
Thanks!

The Photo Stream does not really sync. The contents of the Photo Stream (My Photo Stream) for each device will depend on the contents of the camra roll and on the current state of what has been uploaded to iCloud when you turn the Photo Stream on the device. Photo Stream is not meant to be a storage for photos in the cloud, just a transient buffer. If you want a stream of photos, that is the same on each device, set up a shared Photo Stream.
See: iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting
iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams

Combining PDFs, how to get them the same size?

When I combine a scanned document with a typed word document into a single PDF, the scanned document saves as twice the size of the word document. How do I get them to combine and be the same size? (Length and width not file size). Thanks.

What are the sizes of the pages in the two files? You can check this by hovering the mouse at the bottom left of the PDF.

Photoshop brush strokes are smaller than the cursor, need to make them the same.

My photoshop brush, pencil and Clone strokes are smaller than the cursor, which makes it very difficult for accuracy. Don't know what made them change, but want the cursor and stroke to be the same.
I've tried different settings in the brush dialog box, with differenc tip settings, etc, with no results. Also, tried different settings in Preferences/Cursor setting. No luck.
Help!

<<<<
Under Preferences (cmd k) > Cursors > Painting Cursors, the setting should be Normal.
Usually "Reset Tools" as described in post 1 helps. Have you tried it yet?

Gene,
Yes, I've tried that, and all the variations on that page, without success.

iPad not iPod!

Why is the menu structure different for different OS environments? What would it take to make them the same across the board?

The questions in the title pretty well say it all. Each version of the program works differently and wondering what it would take to standardized them for being the same across the board. Menu items are in different locations depending on what OS you are using. Putting the cursors in the URL line works differently from one OS to the next. It would be nice to create an equal standard for working under all OS types.

Firefox follows the convention for each OS as to where it places and what it calls menu items. The most noticeable is the Options/Preferences dialog.

How do I copy the same app folder layouts from one device to another? We have a several iphones and ipads.

how do I copy the same app folder layout from one device to another. We have several apple devices.
It's a challenge when syncing a device for the first time to go through all the apps and apply them back to the same folders as on your other iphone.
I've seen suggestions of taking pictures of the correct layout, then manually applying it to the new device. Big time waister.
What's the work around?
Thank you

I'm afraid there is no short workaround. One thing that you could do if you were REALLY desperate is reset your device to factory settings and then restore it from your other device's backup, but that is rather risky and you probably don't want to take your chances just for folder layouts. I would just do it manually.
