Lost display text

PowerBook G4 Titanium, running OS 10.3.9
I have lost most of the display text: file/folder labels, descriptions, etc. The computer boots and displays background image, file/folder icons, some text in the top bar but not all), a few characters for some of the items on my desktop.
I ran Disk Utility, DiskWarrior, reset the PRAM, checked that the zoom is not on (by the way, this is the only window that seems to display all of the text), deleted the com.apple.finder.plist file (at least I think I did, hard to tell when there is no label...).
I can log on (password is accepted although nothing shows up when I type), but cannot shut down the computer except by pushing the button in the back. Otherwise, it just goes back to the login window.
Suggestions?
PowerBook G4 Titanium Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I bet that may be causing the problem. You may not have enough available disk space. You need to backup as much data as possible, and make more available ASAP!
Do you have access to another Firewire enabled Mac, to use Firewire Target Disk Mode, to try to retrieve your data?

Printing to PDF from MS Office: lost hyperlinks if display text changed

Greetings.
I'm using Acrobat Pro vers. 8.1.7 and MS Office 2007.
I'm not sure if this is an Acrobat or an MS Office issue or somewhere in between.
I need to print an Excel document to a PDF with hyperlinks.
Creating hyperlinks in Excel is no problem.
If I print to a PDF (using Adobe PDF Converter printer driver), the hyperlink appears and works in the PDF. No problem.
But I need to change the display text of the link - instead of a URL I need to display a "user friendly" name.
Problem.
If I edit the link in Excel and change the display text, the link works in Excel, no problem.
But when I print to a PDF the link is lost. I get pretty blue underlined text, but the link information is not embedded in the PDF.
Problem!
I've experimented and done some research, but nothing so far.
Any ideas?
Help!
Thank you,
Greg

The links you are seeing in the PDF are likely not hard links, but what Acrobat thinks are links. That is what happens when you print to the Adobe PDF printer. If you want to retain the links in the original form, you need to use PDF Maker (or may be listed as create PDF) in Excel. The end result should be a PDF with the links appearing in the same way as in Excel.

Excel & Word file don't display text after 10.6.4 update

Installed 10.6.4 update last week on an iMac and the cells within my excel sheets went blank. The data is still there but do not show up on screen. Tried several variation of start up and even reinstalled Office only for problem to exist still. New documents will display text but most of my existing office documents appear blank.
So... Today I reinstalled snow leopard and my text was back & displaying until I ran the OS updates. Every thing was fine until 10.6.4 and poof!!! there went my text in office. This glitch even effects some existing word documents. Graphic, images and pdf's don't seem to be effected. Any body else having this problem?
Just dumb founded....

I've been experiencing the same issue. I upgraded to 10.6.4 and I lost several fonts. The interesting thing is I also lost several power point images I had created. Shapes and lines were missing even though they did not involve the offending fonts, at least not directly. There was text elsewhere in the image that used it. Why this should obliterate the rest of the images I don't know.
The three offending Fonts for me were:
1) Times New Roman
2) Arial
3) Brush Script MT
Anywho, I managed to fix this on my machine so I'm posting how I did it here. I'm not so sure as to the why, but here it goes.
On my machine I have 4 font folders
1) -> System -> Library -> Fonts
2) -> Library -> Fonts
3) -> Users -> Me -> Library -> Fonts
4) -> Applications -> Office X -> Office -> Fonts (yes, I'm still running Office X from 2000)
Inside of the Font Book application, it was kind enough to point out I had duplicate fonts. Some of these were the fonts in question and others caused me no troubles. Go figure. Anyway, disabling one or the other of the duplicate fonts did not fix the problem.
Here's what did, though. In my case the duplicate fonts existed in the second of the font directories above (henceforth referred to as Font2) and the third of the font directories listed above (Font3). I browsed to these directories and copied the fonts to my desktop to have a back up. Back in Font Book, I told it to remove each instance of the Arial and Times New Roman fonts that would not display correctly in Excel (for the moment, I left Brush Script MT alone, kind of like a control)
Now at this point there were no Arial or Times New Roman fonts in my Font Book. Turns out they were removed from Font1, Font2 and Font3, so good thing I have a backup.
1) Opened up Excel. It did its font menu optimization thing and sure enough, I couldn't see anything.
2) I close Excel.
3) I double clicked on Times New Roman that I had in Font4. Font Book opened it and I chose to install it. It put it in my Font3 directory.
4) I opened up Excel. It did its font menu optimization thing. Suddenly I can see Times New Roman again!
5) I close Excel.
6) I double click on the Arial Font from my Font4 directory. Font Book opens it and I install it to my Font3 directory.
7) I open Excel, it does its font menu optimization thing and suddenly I can see Arial!
8) I close Excel.
Now at this point I'm wondering if my old font files got corrupted and because I was installing using the ones from my Font4 directory (which avoids the system directly) I was getting them back. So to test, I told Font Book to remove Times New Roman again, I go through the test of opening and confirming in Excel, and then I install the Times New Roman font from my desktop that I had copied out of the Font2 directory. Everything works fine in Excel. So it's not the file that was bad.
I was also wondering if I needed to remove all instances of the fonts or if just one was causing the trouble. So I go back to Font Book and remove the instance of Brush Script MT that was in my Font3 directory. When I opened Excel I still couldn't see anything.
I reinstalled the copy of Brush Script MT from the desktop and tried removing the other instance of the font, the one from the Font2 Directory. Excel still shows nothing. I then reinstall the associated font file from the desktop. Excel still doesn't like me.
Finally, I removed all instances of Brush Script MT and installed at random one of them from the desktop. Suddenly Excel likes it.
So I don't know what the problem was, maybe an associated was bad, but either way the only way I could get my fonts back was to remove all instances of the bad fonts from Font Book and then install the font again.
In between removing and installing I would go into Excel where it would refresh its Font list at startup. Not sure if this had anything to do with it either.
All my fonts now display correctly and all my powerpoint drawn images show up as well. I hope this helps someone else!

When I click on - View - Page Source, I want to edit with NotePad - note just display text in fancy colors

I like to edit my web pages easily,
- click to see html, edit it, (file name already there), save it
- hit restore on browser - see what I did -
Just changed from IE
which gave me NotePad, which is just fine for me
Just changed to FireFox
and it displays text in a non-editor,
can't edit and save easily
What to do??
Even worst - after installing FireFox
IE no longer clicks to NotePad
but that fancy non-editor :-(((

Display Text in a query as a symbol

Hi everyone,
I have a query (BI 7) that displays runtimes of BI applications (generated from technical content -0TCT_MC01 multiprovider).
In the rows there is 0TCTBIOTYPE (type of BI application) which usually displays texts as below:
query
Web Template
I would like to show in the report the symbol (image) instead of the key/text of this infoobject.
Any idea?

Hi Reuvel,
Nice requirement.
Not sure 100% but from my memory i guess we can display the image for characteristic, instead of text or key by using Analysis web item Using parameter modification in WAD .
Kindly check for Modifcation parameter Display image Module (com.sap.ip.bi.*.Documentcontent) in WAD, it might solve your purpose.

How to display TEXT more than 500 char in a report as multiple lines.

Hi Friends,
i have a requirement like i should display Texts of length more than 500 Characters in a report( ALV LIST) as multiple lines
I am fetching the data Using FM READ_TEXT
the output im currently geeting with 150 Char in lenth as a single line
How we can split the text into multiple lines in a report
first i would like to know is it possible? if possible please give your valuable suggitions if not is there any alternative way to do this task.
Thanks & regards
kumar.

Hi,
This is possible but the Solution might not look Standard/Appropriate to you.
In ALV, you can have Multiple Line Output...There is a Field in the Field Catalogue..called as Row_position...this is by default 0...which means Single row/Line ALV output....You can have this Value in the Range of 0 to 3.......A ALV field with row_position 1, will be displayed in the second line for every record...i.e. you will have multiple line for a single record of ALV.
In your case......you can use this but you need to split your field in two fields.....but you may end up spliting a single word....but for that also you can design the logic of splitting the Fiel value at SPACE only......
This may work.......and Sorry if not work......

Need to display TEXT in web selection screen

HI All,
We are working on CRM-BW modeling. We have one field called "product" which will have key and medium text. We need to display both key + text in web reporting selection screen. When we ran first time text was not showing in web report. Then we found and change the configuration in search help in SE11 for that field. Then we can see the text+key combination in RSRT but still we can't see the text in web report selection screen...
Now what we have to do to display text in selection screen on web...
Please give your inputs ASAP.....we are in UAT phase....
Thanks in advance
Arun

Hi Arun,
For you case: Display key & text in selection screen.
In BW,
You can go to query designer, then you'll go to the info-object belong to the variable (selection-screen : product). Right-click, find for the properties, Then you'll see the option for <b>display as</b>.
Choose it for Key and text.
Then save it.
Go to the report, in the selection screen, when you're choosing for the help, you'll see the value displayed by key & text.
Hopefully it can help you a lot.

Niel

Display text file in servlet with preserved formatting(newlines, etc)

how do i display a text file in servlet, but all the blanks and newlines are preserved.
this is what i did:
RandomAccessFile text = new RandomAccessFile("D:/FYP/tempMessage.txt","r");
long length = text.length();
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length];
//Read in the bytes
int offset = 0;
int numRead = 0;
while (offset < bytes.length
&& (numRead=deCiphered.read(bytes, offset, bytes.length-offset)) >= 0) {
offset += numRead;
// Close the input stream and return bytes
text.close();
String plainText=new String(bytes);
//display in servlet
pw.println("<center>Plain text: " + plainText + "</center>");
the problem here is the newlines are seem to be omitted when they're displayed in a web browser, rendering the displayed text in a mess.
any help are greatly appreciated. thanks in advance :)

display text in between <pre></pre> tags.
or display it inside a text area,dont worry abt the text area border, u can change that using style sheets.

Displaying Text as HTML in the UIscrollbar component

Greetings.
I have a window on my Flash stage that has some scrollable copy in it. The problem is, I can't seem to have any formatting for the text ... if I select a word or two to make bold, it all turns bold. I gather I need to use the "Display Text as HTML" checkbox and then paste in some HTML formatted text but this doesn't seem to work. I searched this forum and found that others were designating "htmlText" in Actionscript instead of just "text" ... that didn't work either. I probably just did it wrong, or maybe it's becuase I'm using the UI component "UIscrollBar" for it's scrolling of the text.
Is there anything else I need to do to be able to format some text with strong tags and maybe some href links?
I have my properties inspector with the following check marks:
Display as HTML
Multiline
Dynamic Text
selectable
Thanks everyone.

Safari does not display text on some sites.

I am running OSX 10.10.2 and Safari 8.03
Some sites I visit do not display text at all.
For example: This site (http://neflin.org/) looks fine in Chrome, Firefox, whatever. But in Safari, it has no text at all. See below.
Mail is having difficult with some text in html email too.
I have rebooted, reset the PRAM, deleted preferences and turned off extensions. I checked the Guest account and created a new account and in all cases the problem persists.
I have validated fonts in Font Book, restored standard fonts and looked for duplicates. Nothing.
Flash and Java are up to date.
Any thoughts?

How to get selected item value and display text in selectOneChoice ?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I bind the a selectOneChoice component to my backing bean so i have an object which represent this component in the backing bean.
now i need to find which item is selected by use , i know that i can use
getSelect_service().getValue.toString() , but it will return the value of the selected item, how about its display text ?
I should say that i create an static list for selectOneChoice items.
thanks

Using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1, freshly downloaded off OTN. I used the following code to try and identify the problem you are encountering. I attempted to use a valueChangeListener in combination with af:selectOneChoice components that use SelectItems and the singular SelectItem. I could not reproduce the error in either case. Please post more information about your development environment.
          <af:selectOneChoice label="Label 1"
                              binding="#{backing_test.selectOneChoice1}"
                              id="selectOneChoice1"
                              valueChangeListener="#{backing_test.valueChangeListener}"
                              autoSubmit="true" immediate="true">
            <af:selectItem label="1" value="1"
                           binding="#{backing_test.selectItem1}"
                           id="selectItem1"/>
            <af:selectItem label="2" value="2"
                           binding="#{backing_test.selectItem2}"
                           id="selectItem2"/>
            <af:selectItem label="3" value="3"
                           binding="#{backing_test.selectItem3}"
                           id="selectItem3"/>
          </af:selectOneChoice>

                              binding="#{backing_test.selectOneChoice2}"
                              id="selectOneChoice2"                              valueChangeListener="#{backing_test.valueChangeListener}"

        System.out.println(evt.getSource().getClass().getName());
        // returns a string
        System.out.println(evt.getNewValue().getClass().getName());
