Like columns in a newspaper

I want to make a Report where on each page there are 3 columns. By columns I mean like columns in a newspaper. When it gets to the bottom of the page in the first column, it then goes to the top of the page in the second column, etc. How do I structure the Report page so it does that?
Thanks

You need to change the repeating frame's Print Direction property from down to Down/Across.

I have a long numbers document, that I'd like to make more print friendly. It is a list of my DVD's that I just listed one after the other (1-200) when I tried to print it, it would be 18 pages, can I change it to be more like columns side by side to save

S,
I assume that you also have Pages on your computer (or some other capable WP program). I also assume that you have eliminated any unnecessary columns, so you have a 1-column table in Numbers.
When it comes time to print, Copy the entire Table: Click on the table name in the Sheets Pane and Command-C.
Switch to Pages, open a blank WP template and set the number of columns to 3 or so. With the Text Insertion Cursor flashing on the first line of the first column of the blank template, Command-V. Your table should paste into the Pages document as an Inline Object and will Wrap on the page as you desire. Then Print in Pages.

Looking for a simple Text App with options like columns, lists etc

I am looking for an app that lets me do simple things like type lists of things , create columns etc . PLEASE tell me that my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard already has the ability to do this somewhere and that i dont need to buy "iWork" or "Excell" to perform this basic function. Thanks

If you're talking about a simple word processor, then Bean (http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html) will be worth a look. It's simple, has the ability to create text columns, and best of all, is free!
NeoOffice (Mac port of OpenOffice) is fantastic if you need a complete Office suite (http://www.neooffice.org) - also free. Its spreadsheet app is called Calc.
Mac Mail and iCal can do 'To Do' lists, and there's also plenty of free apps that do simple to-do type lists.
When you mention 'lists' the app that comes to mind is OmniOutliner (http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/) but it's not free.

Looking for component: flexible rows like columns in a JTable

Hello,
I need a swing component to display several rows which can be moved up and down, the height resized, interchanged with the mouse like the columns in a JTable. But there is no need for columns. I think there is no standard swing component.
Any ideas, resource hints?
Thanks, Ulrich

One more piece of advice. It is not very easy to get "pre-written custom components". Most developers do things to meet their own needs and these may not be exactly what you are looking for. The best thing to do is to try to develop this yourself. It will give you loads of experience and in later programmes you may write, based on the experience you obtained from the "pain-staking" development process you'll know how to go round these problems quicker and may be able to help others also.
So just start writing some stuff. You may end up finishing sooner than you think. And remember forum members are always ready to help with problems (accompanied by minimal code examples of the actual problem).

How to have spreadsheet like columns in report (like an Excel grid)

I am trying to make a report in landscape format with around 15 columns across the sheet. The data is sales numbers per months plus total, budget and deviation (calculated).The data should be in an Excel-like grid. The individual cell would obviously be fairly small so it fits across one page.I have been playing with this for some time. Aligning so many objects seems to be a lot of work. The tools in CR are not very proficient for such type of layout.You are lost if you want to insert a column. I did not find a way to move all fields across all sections to the right to make room. It gets all screwed up.The grid, I tried it with borders around the fields and with horizontal / vertical lines to create the grid. Any good tip for a better way of doing that? Thanks in advance!Stefan Koellmann

Is the cross-tab an option for your scenario? If you specifically want a grid like structure, this may be an easier route to explore.Alternatively I'd suggest snapping your objects to guidelines (the little inverted triangles on the ruler bar) to help move things around. Or when you select multiple objects, right click and utilize the 'align' and 'size' options to speed up some of the tasks.

How Do I Dynamically Update a PDF Textbox Using Excel Like Columns Which Automatically Wrap and Size

I am trying to dynamically display a list rooftop units to which are associated to each product our company produces.
Our website is database driven and each product has a link to a PDF file which explains the product, and a "List" of each rooftop unit which this product can be used upon. This "List" of units is changing and are updated constantly. We are currently manually updating each PDF. We have thousands and it has become unmanageable. In some cases this "List" may contain only be several units, in others the "List" will contain hundreds. Additionally, the rooftop units when described are anywhere from 6 to 50 characters long. Therefore, we can't just dedicate a set window to populate the information. The list must flow into the window in columns and be smart enough to best consolidate and wrap itself, so not to use countless pages. We prefer the first page to describe the product and the second page to contain all the associated units in columns with an auto font capability.
We have Acrobat X Pro version 10. We are considering LiveCycle. Everything and everyone says yes it can do this; however, no one can tell us specifically how or show us examples.
I have figured out how to create the "List" in a comma separated string, but it is very confusing and hard to read. Does anyone know how to list the data in a table... in flowing columns similar to an Excel spreadsheet?

I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly. In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location.
But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line. No one is looking at the page. A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice. It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word.
I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want. I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have.
I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way.
Give it a try and best of luck.

How to set a Excel-like column-Filtering in the Table Header using swings

I am currently working on the Database applications.Where i need to do column filter in the header field of the jTable, (i.e i need to keep a button in the Column header and when i click the button, it should pop-up a jList which has a unique values of the entire column. when i select that value it will show corresponding rows in the jTable). Can anyone pls help me....
Thanks
Karthik

You can [get the table column header|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html#getTableHeader()] and add a mouse listener to it which waits for a popup menu trigger to display a popup menu.
In that popup menu, you can display a list which contains the unique values of the column which was clicked on. Once a value is
selected, you can filter the rows using that value.

Splitting a text field in columns

Hello !
I want to divide a text field in two columns (like articles in newspaper). Is it possible ? How ?
Regards,
Lucian

Lucian,
my idea is to get the text out of the CLOB field (in my ex. column c in table t0)line by line(where you have chr(10)-new_line character) and load it into a VARCHAR2 field(v) in another table t1.
Then, in your report you can manipulate v the way you want. There you can concatenate the records again with chr(10) if you want.
To get the columns as in newspaper I would suggest to decide how many lines you want in a "column" and based on that create a repeating frame with print direction "Across" that contains one text field having the source your column.
I know it sounds a little complicated but take it step by step.
Here is the code I've tried:
create table t0 (c clob); -- you already have this
insert into t0 values ('abcd'||chr(10)||'efgh');
insert into t0 values ('ijklmn');
select * from t0;
create table t1 (v varchar2(2000));
declare
offset integer;
buffer varchar2(2000);
buflen integer ;
loblen number;
pos number;
str varchar2(2000);
buff varchar2(2000);
begin
for i in (select c from t0) loop
loblen := dbms_lob.getlength(i.c);
offset :=1;
dbms_lob.read(i.c, loblen, offset, buffer);
str := buffer;
loop
pos := instr(str,chr(10));
if pos = 0 or length(str)< 2 then
 insert into t1 values (str);
exit;
else
 buff := substr(str,1,pos-1);
 insert into t1 values (buff);
 str := substr(str,pos+1);
end if;
end loop;
end loop;
end;
I hope this will help you.

Mastead Followed by Columns

How do I do that? Like an old fashioned newspaper? When I place the cursor below the masthead were I want the columns to begin, the masthead becomes part of the columns as well. Don't want that.
Thanks!

You could use text boxes for the masthead or use layout breaks. Here's a picture of a page of a newsletter I did in Pages '05. The "invisibles" show the breaks.

How can I create a document with two columns in which the text in the left hand column flows to the left column on page 2,3 etc, and doesn't interfere with the text I want to place in the right? Pages 5.

I'm using pages 5 and want to comment in a right hand column, on a (latin) text which I wish to place in a left hand column.
Ideally I'd like to be able to copy and paste the latin text and see it flow over into the left hand column on multiple pages.
At the moment it is impossible for me to keep the text only in the left hand column Any help!?
B

Columns do what columns do, flow from the bottom of the left hand column to the top of the right hand next column. So won't do what you want.
Your tag says you are using OS X 10.5.8 but you say you are using Pages 5 so one or the other is not correct.
If you migrated up to Pages 5 what did you do with your previous Pages '08 or '09?
Because Pages 5 is missing over 100 features, one of which is Textbox linking, that would allow to flow down through a series of Textboxes set up like columns.
What you can do is run the Latin text down a narrow document to the left and add individual Textboxes to the right and put your English translations in those. The Latin will flow but the English will not.

Numbers: How to create a spreadsheet with columns

I would appreciate help with something which seems quite basic, but I cannot figure it out from the manual. I need to track invoices. I would like columns with invoice number, supplier`s name, dates, and then of course numbers. I cannot see how to change a column (in blank spreadsheet) labelled as `A` to `invoice number`, for example. I am truly in the wilderness when it comes to spreadsheets! Thank you.

vista4444,
Welcome to Numbers. Spreadsheets (or "tables" as they are refered to in Numbers) will always show columns headed A, B, C, etc. What you want to do is type your labels in the first row (header row) under those letters. Similarly, the A column is a header column for the rows. These headers have a special function: they are used to name rows and columns and cannot contain formulas. If using formulas in other cells, columns can be identified by either letter or name in the header below. The same is true for rows.
You will know when the these headers are active when you see them shaded over near the far right of the format bar under the media icon.
