Managing table titles in FrameMaker 12 does not work

I have a mysterious problem in FrameMaker 12. When creating a table I am not able to move the table title. When changing the setting to below or above or whatever and pressing Apply nothing happens. The feature works allright in FrameMaker 11. I have tried with both existing and new documents and the it doesn't matter. I can not do anything with the title position of tables.
Are anybody else expiriencing the same problem ?
regards
Bjørn

I don't think it ever was officially documented as the Help for reformatting tables since FM8 states:
To redefine a table format:
1. Click in a table whose format you want to redefine, and choose Table > Table Designer. If the table you click in has format overrides, these overrides--not the catalog format's definition--appear in the Table Designer.
It does seem odd though that in FM12 with the table selected via the anchor, the Designer does show any overrides applied, yet one cannot apply the override this way. Something has changed and it may be an unintended side-effect of something else. What the overall implication for this is unknown, but the programming team should be made aware of this.

    I know what your'e going through, Gary.   OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster.   Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
    Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
    I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly.   They smile and shrug.   They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve.  I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.  
    I wish I could give you an answer to your question.   My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one.   In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade.  Something like:   "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
    As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work.   This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
    Good luck.

    Chris,
    There are several areas in your code which needed changes. 
    1. On the field name for your temp table you had spaces.
    2. The SAP table name ODLN, OPCH, PCH1 had to be fully referenced like
    [dbo].[ODLN]
    3. You really need not have ## in front of your temp table, it could just be #
    The select at the end is actually what causes the most problem as for some reason from within SAP it does not produce the result.  I would suggest you put the whole code into a Stored Procedure and call the SP from SAP.  Corrected SQL below.  If you remove the Select line at the end the query would work with in SAP, but keep it give give you an error. SP is the best option for this.

  • Webpart Title and Border Does not Work

    The Chrome type "title and border" does not display the title or border on webparts. The problem is trivially reproduced:
    1. Create a new blank site.
    2. Add a webpart to it. Not important which one.
    3. Change the chrome to title and border.
    4. Apply the changes and save.
    5. Note the absence of title or border.
    Try changing the chrome type to either title or border and they work individually but together they do nothing. I have seen others report this issue of various forums but never a resolution. This worked in 2010 and does not work in 2013. I am using IE 11
    but it also didn't work with older versions of IE.

    Hi Colin,
    Could you describe how it displays when you set Chrome Type as Title and Border ? For clearly, you could compare different Chrome Types in one page and post it here, it will help to understand the issue.
    I reproduced the issue by adding five webparts of the same library named doclib into one page, and set the Chrome Type as Default, None, Title and Border, Title Only, Border Only, respectively.
    As you could see from above, Default displays as Title Only.

  • ALTER TABLE command with owner does not work

    I performed the following statement in a SQLplus script where the variables were filled some lines before:
    alter table '&ownername||'.'||&tablename' move online tablespace '&tablespacename';
    However this does not work. I am getting:
    ERROR at line 1:

    The variables are replace correctly by SQLplus and everything owner, table, tablespace exist.
    Can I (as SYSDBA) not alter the table of another user?

  • [SOLVED]Login manager in KDE 4.3 does not work!

    This is a fresh install (just two days old and installed KDEbase just yesterday), and almost everything is working like a charm the only glitch I have experienced till now is that the login manager module in System Settings is not working as it should be. When I click on its button I know that it should normally ask me for my password but it does not do that and therefore when it opens up all the settings are greyed out and thus unchangable . Is this a bug or am I missing something (Anyone else experienced this!)?
    Also, although not related to this topic, can somebody tell me where to find the setting for making windows shift to different workspace while dragging them through the edges of the screen. I'm sure I found this setting under Window Behavior>Window Behavior module in Kubuntu but it is nowhere to be found on the Arch KDE.

    As nobody answered this question, I guess I'll just mark this thread as solved as even after a lot of search I'm unable to find the preference and so none of the arch users here know about it as well. I think that feature was kubuntu specific and as Arch ships vanilla KDE I think its useless trying to find it here.
    Anyways thanks for the help guys

  • Frame 9 solution for table column + side head does not work in Frame 10 and 11

    In Frame 9 structured (DITA) we could force Frame to record the actual widths of table columns in the DITA XML.  Frame 9 would respect the widths when opening the file.  This was particularly useful for forcing tables to be wide -- to go across the column and the side head -- and for the columns to never resize. 
    In Frame 9 this was done by commenting out the line
    "writer use proportional widths;" 
    like this
    "/* writer use proportional widths; */"
    in the topic.rules.text" file located in
    "...\FrameMaker9\Structure\xml\DITA\app\DITA-Topic-FM"
    This no longer works in Frame10 and Frame 11.  Even though the same line is commented out in all the "NAME.rules.txt" files in all the subdirectories of
        "...\AdobeFrameMaker11\Structure\xml\DITA_1.2\app"
    and
        "...\AdobeFrameMaker11\Structure\xml\DITA\app"  
    and
        "...\AdobeFrameMaker10\Structure\xml\DITA_1.2\app"
    and
        "...\AdobeFrameMaker10\Structure\xml\DITA\app"  .
    Commenting out the line does force Frame 10 and 11 to record  the absolute column width (2.357" etc.) in the DITA XML.
    However, on Open,  Frame 10 and 11 force the table to fit in the column, not the column and sidehead. That is they behave as though they were still using proportional column widths.  It seems the original values (as inserted by Frame 10 and 11 before closing!) are recalculated on Open, thereby mimicking the default proportional width behavior.  
    For example, this on Save then Close from Frame 10 or 11
    <table frame = "topbot" colsep = "0" rowsep = "1">
    <tgroup cols = "4" colsep = "0" rowsep = "1" outputclass = "FormatB">
    <colspec colnum = "1" colname = "1" colwidth = "1.796in" colsep = "0"/>
    <colspec colnum = "2" colname = "2" colwidth = "1.852in" colsep = "0"/>
    <colspec colnum = "3" colname = "3" colwidth = "1.179in" colsep = "0"/>
    <colspec colnum = "4" colname = "4" colwidth = "2.152in" colsep = "0"/>
    goes to this on Open then Save: 
    <table frame = "topbot" colsep = "0" rowsep = "1">
    <tgroup cols = "4" colsep = "0" rowsep = "1" outputclass = "FormatB">
    <colspec colnum = "1" colname = "1" colwidth = "1.351in" colsep = "0"/>
    <colspec colnum = "2" colname = "2" colwidth = "1.393in" colsep = "0"/>
    <colspec colnum = "3" colname = "3" colwidth = "0.887in" colsep = "0"/>
    <colspec colnum = "4" colname = "4" colwidth = "1.618in" colsep = "0"/>
    Any help at all would be appreciated!  
    We have 8,000 to 10,000 pages to PDF in the next few days and about 33% of those pages are messed up tables!

    Hi...
    Unfortunately, I don't have any insight into the default DITA table handling in FM10 or FM11 .. so can't give you the answer you're looking for. Since both FM10 and FM11 offer ExtendScript, you could write a script (or have one written) that processes all of your files to reset the table widths. Or, perhaps the best short term solution may be to reinstall FM9 to get the job done, then spend more time later to figure out a better solution.
    One alternative would be for you to use DITA-FMx, which supports the table/@pgwide attribute for controlling which tables span the page and which don't. Since your tables probably don't make use of this attribute, it won't help in the near term, but might make sense going forward.

    Here's an update for future victims doing google searches :-)
    The issue appears to be related to compiz. When I'm doing basic 2D desktop with metacity everything simply rocks: the machine suspends/resumes with no issues.
    When compiz is enabled, there is about 10 second delay after resume, during which the screen is black and you better not touch the keyboard! If I sit and wait for 8-12 seconds, the dark screen goes away GDM login dialog shows up. But if I touch the keyboard or the touchpad, it will either freeze or become exceptionally slow.

  • Interactively changing values to table problem: indicator and control table, and why it does not work after a while...?

    I have been producing a VI that loads a set of data and displays it in a table: A table control is initialised with an empty variable, the loaded data takes the place of the variable and fills the table, while some headers are added. That table feeds an intensity graph to give a pictorial impression of the data.
    With this scheme, a user can change any value of the table, and the changes are interactively reflected on the graph.
    Problem: after few saving of the VI, the access to the table doesn't work anymore. It is the same with all my numerical controls in the VI where it should be possible to enter a value.
    If anybody has an idea on the potential
    causes of these problem, I would be really grateful as it is very useful...when it works !

    I can not image what is causing the error. Would you be willing to post some code to see if we can reproduce the problem?

  • Upper right corner title bar controls does not work

    Using version 10.0.1 with Win XP 5.1 SP3. Firefox opens & seems to work properly, but controls in upper right corner of title bar do nothing. If I open Windows Task Manager they then start working, and keep working even after I have closed Task Manager. The workaround of using Task Manager to make Firefox work is annoying.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Color Management Does Not Work in AE

    I color manage everything I do in Photoshop and Lightroom without a hitch.
    After Effects CS5 does not color manage correctly.  It simply does not work.  The only setting I could find for it simply asks if you want it more accurate.
    Maybe there are other settings somewhere, but I have not found them.
    Is there anyone out there that really understands color management that is having the same problem?

    I want to be able to see on my wide gamut monitor during AE preview, what I see in Photoshop.  I work with stills and thought that AE would simply allow me to view my stills based on my color profile.
    AE will recognize embedded color profiles, but you still need to tell it how to retain or convert them by setting up the project color space in the project options and assigning a preview (proof) profile to your comp (your monitor profile in this case) and depending on what other stuff figures in, you may need to deal with the linearization options and Gamma overrides or manually apply a color profile converter effect. Anyway, depending on what you are after and where you plan to use your resulting video, none of that may make sense and you may be tackling the problem from the wrong end. If your files are going to end up on a DVD, BluRay or as a Flash video on the web, extensive adjustments using your own profiels won't do any good, as color spaces and target profiles for specific video formats are fixed. So in fact you may need to spend time to adjust your imagery to work without color profiles or the standard sRGB profile at least....

  • Lead Selection does not work after setting filter for ALV.

    Hi, Can you please suggest on below scenario :
    I have a Node with a sub node in it .
    I am using the supply function on Sub Node to retrieve the date based on Parent Node.
    There are two ALV's to display parent and item data. The issue is when a filter(user defined filter) is done on Parent table, the supply function does not work. The value is that of the selected row before setting the filter. Even after removing the filter, the item data is stuck and does not change on Lead Selection.
    One thing I noticed is if the child table is a table UI, there is no issue. The only problem is when the second table is ALV
    Thanks In Advance

    Hi Prashanthi,
    Your issue can be resolved as below
    Create an event handler method 'set_alv_data'  for the event 'ON_LEAD_SELECT' of parent alv
    Write the below code inside the event handler method
    METHOD set_alv_data.
      DATA lo_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
      DATA lv_path TYPE string.
      DATA lv_index TYPE string.
      lv_index = r_param->index.
      CONDENSE lv_index.
      CONCATENATE wd_this->wdctx_my_parent_node
      lv_index
      wd_this->wdctx_my_child_node
      INTO lv_path SEPARATED BY '.'.
      lo_node = wd_context->path_get_node(
          path                          = lv_path
      DATA lo_interface TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table.
      lo_interface = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv_child( ). "get the ref of alv comp of child
      lo_interface->set_data(
        EXPORTING
    *    only_if_new_descr =
          r_node_data       = lo_node
    ENDMETHOD.
    The above code sets the data node of child alv based on lead selection of parent alv data.
    Note: Replace 'parent_node', 'child_node'  with your nodes & 'alv_child' with your alv component name of child alv.
    If you want to control the data of child alv on filter function, you can use the event ON_STD_FUNCTION_AFTE and once you define the filter you get the r_param->id = 'SALV_WD_FILTER_DEFINE'  & now you can clear data of child alv.
    Hope this helps you.
    Regards,
    Rama

  • Select All in a table does not work for Drag and Drop

    Hi. I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 but have also reproduced in 11.1.1.3.
    I am trying to implement drag and drop rows from one table to another. Everything works fine except when I do a Select All (ctrl-A) in a table, the table visually looks like all rows are selected, but when I try to click on one of the selected rows to drag to the other table, only the row I click on is dragged.
    I tried setting Range Size -1, fetch mode to FETCH_ALL, content delivery to "immediate" but nothing works.
    I even have reproduced not using a view object but just a List of beans with only 5 or 10 beans showing in the table.
    Does anyone know how to get Select All to work for a Drag Source?
    Thanks.

  • Java does not work at all upon using the update manager to update to firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 9.0.4

    OS: Ubuntu 9.0.4
    Browser: Firefox 3.6.10
    upon updating to firefox 3.6.10, java does not work at all.
    websites that use java do not work at all anymore, when they worked just fine before the updating thru update manager. e.g. hulu website cannot play any of the shows.
    i can give the folder of bookmarked pages i tried.
    how to do that on here, i've yet to see if possible.
    i can even give saved text from the terminal concerning certain attempts.
    when i updated thru update manager, it gave some weird java plugin that wasn't there before "The IcedTea Web Browser Plugin IcedTea6 Java Web Browser Plugin (execution of applets on webpages)".
    i uninstalled this as instructed by an answer found in one of the pages i saved, cuz it was conflicting w/another java program the updater said i needed. right now, i don't remember for sure what it was. it perhaps was realplayer flash or Java itself. w/all the hours/days of searching i put in, it's difficult if not downright impossible for me to remember all the specifics of what i tried.
    i've searched throughout many webpages (including many searches on mozilla, ubuntu, java, etc) for instruction in fixing the problem.
    oh, and incidentally, on the Java site, when i try the verify test of Java, firefox pops up with that yellow bar right below the slew of tabbed website windows, giving the statement "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. (w/link to) install missing plugins ." which is what i do, go thru the requesting plugin installation. it comes up with, guess what, the IcedTea Java Plugin. i click on the 'next' in the "Plugin Finder Service" box that pops up, & all it gives me is "No plugins were installed. IcedTea ...Plugin failed. and the link 'find out more about plugins or manually find missing plugins'". the link takes me to some of the very things/plugins that wouldn't install in the first place. the Java test failure is a LOL funny, as what plugin it is saying is required (IcedTea) is a recommended alternate program to display the very test in the first place.
    i followed the given instructions on those many searched pages, in every case (barring what i may have just plain missed), but to no avail.
    i've even gone to the point of trying to reinstall the previous 3.5.13 firefox version, from mozilla site. even that wouldn't install.
    i've tried installing Java for my sys direct from it's site. nada.
    now it's time for me to post the problem & perhaps someone will come up with some kind of "dummy" way to fix it.
    until then many sites a regularly use are totally useless to me on this fast puter.
    the only way i can get to use such sites, are two choices: 1. use a dinosaur laptop, which is slower than molasses & cannot handle to any streaming stuff, or 2. use an available internet access puter at the library. but useage for ea person per day is limited to only one hour a day. and one can end up waiting for an hour or more ( in the busiest periods) to even get to use one.
    so, is there anyone at all, who knows any for-sure working fix for this problem?
    thanks muchly :^D
    p.s. i can't pay anybody any money for such help, as is required in certain sites (e.g. Java website), cuz i don't have any.
    i can pay in labor tho, if there is someway to find someone who can physically be at this puter w/me, taking me step-by-step
    sorry for the 20-pg essay. i hope it was all clearly understood. if, not, well, clear communication is always what is needed, ask away.

    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

    In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).
