MLA Format Help

I'm trying to write an essay in MLA format, but I can't seem to indent the sentences. I've tried to hit Tab, but that doesn't seem to work.

When you +tried to hit Tab+ what happened?
Did the key move out of the way?

MLA Format Question

I've almost completed work on my template for MLA format in Pages 09.
I've done the auto-insert page number into the right-hand corner of each page.
However, I'm having trouble because I don't know how to insert my last name to the left of the auto-inserted page number in the top right corner of every page.
So, instead of
1 in the right hand corner
It would be
Last name 1 in the right hand corner
And so on and so on with every page thereafter.

Use the header or footer, anything you put in there will repeat on each page. You will find the header or footer is a fixed text box at the top and bottom of your page. If you move the mouse over them you will see their outline and can click inside them.
Or go:
+Menu > View > Show Layout+ to see all the boxes on the page.
To do what you want: click in the header, type +*Last Name*+ followed by a space, then:
+Menu > Insert > Page Number+
Each page will now have "+*Last Name*+ 1" etc. The number will be whatever the page number is. The rest stays the same.
see *Using Headers and Footers* p51 of the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.

MLA formatting..

When writing papers in MLA format, there has to be a 1/2 inch margin between the header and top of the page. I know how to change that margin, but then there also needs to be 1 inch between the header and the text of the paper. How do I change the distance of the margin below the header to 1 inch? Right now its just one line above the text of the paper. Thanks!

Put six carriage returns in the header, or better, one carriage return, and adjust the line height (Format >Paragraph...)

Date Format Help: DD-MON-YY

Hello everyone.
Good Day.
I would like to seek your help regarding my inquiry on the PL/SQL script output that I am trying to create.
Please see below output of my script:
L7,CU4450278,70X1W01AGA-ASY,11813,20-6æ -13,0
L7,CU4464442,747X32VH9015-ASY,3394,20-6æ -13,0
L7,CU4464766,747X22VH9015-ASY,3383,21-6æ -13,0
As you can see in the CSV output, the date has some invalid value, the "6æ " should have been Jun (i.e. Short Month format of June).
My script has this code for date dbms_output to_char(startplan_rec.str_startdate,'DD-MON-YY')
The startplan_rec.str_startdate data type is date.
I have tried querying the same table in the oracle sql developer, but i am getting the correct output (e.g. 20-Jun-13).
Please help me on having my desired date format output on my pl/sql. Why is my date output on my script incorrect?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jeff.

Hi Hoek:

I was just following a certain format from a requirements that is why I am still using the YY thing.
BTW, I've heard about the Y2K thing when i was on college.
THanks,
Jeff.
Boy does that make me feel old. A few years ago I was at a workshop when a young developer expressed to me his opinion that Y2K was a hoax. His "proof" was the fact that "nothing happened after all." I had to explain to him that reason it seemed "nothing happened" is because armies of guys like me had spent two years busting our butts fixing the problem before the excrement collided with the ventilation system.
But I have code that is older than his birth certificate.

Colour Format Help

I am a designer and not a Java programmer - don't hate me - and i am using a small calendar applet on a web page. This has color configured from javascript parameters as follows:
<param name=bgcolor      value=13684944>
<param name=bgcolor2      value=14737663>
<param name=bgcolor3      value=400>
<param name=t_col1      value=400>
<param name=t_col2      value=8421520>
<param name=t_col3      value=14737663>
Can anyone tell me how these numbers relate to either HEX or RGB. I have tried simply placing RGB figures in there but they do not bear ant relationship to the standard color tables....HELP????!!!!

Yes, thats true,
It must be using format like:
int r = (0x00ff0000)>>16;
int g = (0x0000ff00)>>8;
int b = 0x000000ff;
where r=255, g=255, b=255 this case, but if
long r = 0x00ff0000;
long g = 0x0000ff00;
long b = 0x000000ff;
which give you r=16711680, g=65280, b=255....make sense?

Import file name - want to go back to 2008-02-22 format HELP!

iphoto 06 imported photos into a date formatted file such as 2008-02-22. iphoto 08 makes this -February 22, 2008. I need help in just returning to the original date format as a default process.
yes, I can do this manually but this requires additional work in Aperture (both 1.5 & 2). Thousands of photos annually make me want to make this automatic and easy. The current format is totally ridiculous, when part of an alphabetized list which renders multiple years from the same mont grouped together rather than in a time sequence a in i06

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What file are you referring to? Where are you seeing this date? When iPhoto 6 imports a photo the file name renames the same, whatever it was before. Am I missing something here?
Are you referring to renaming of photos from within iPhoto with the Batch Rename feature? Then go into the System Preferences/International/Formats pane and click on Customize button. There you can reset the short, medium or long date to the YYYY-MM-DD format. Then select the sort, medium or long date in the iPhoto Batch Change window and you'll get what you want.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

PSE 7 Crashes when outputing to any format - Help!

I have used the program (PSE 7) on the same machine for the past 2 years with limited issues - have always been able to restart the workstation and program and get my slide show outputed to the desired format. I am expereincing the same issue again this year, but no matter how many time I restart the program crashes at random times when outputing. May crash right away or at any different percentage of completion during the output process.
Do I reinstall on the same machine? If so, will I be able to recover all fo the work I have done?
Do I upgrade to the newer version? Will I have the same issue?
Shoudl I try to down load the trial version first? Not sure if it over writes the current version and if I would lose anything?
Please Help! Needs some guidance as I have to get the annual High School Softball video completed by Monday for the banquet.

Do I reinstall on the same machine? If so, will I be able to recover all fo the work I have done?
Uninstalling and reinstalling will not affect your existing catalog, nor saved slideshow projects. If you also use Premiere Elements note that PRE video projects no longer appear in the organizer, although they can still be opened directly in PRE.
Do I upgrade to the newer version? Will I have the same issue?
Without an identified cause of the existing problem that question cannot be answered.
Shoudl I try to down load the trial version first? Not sure if it over writes the current version and if I would lose anything?
Yes, install the trial. Multiple version of PSE can coexist. When installing a later version of PSE I always make a copy of the catalog from my previous version and convert that rather than the original.

Query Output Formatting Help

Hello All,
I'm having problems trying to format the output of one of my queries. I'm new to SQL and I consider my writing the query a HUGE win.... but I can't seem to get the correct output format.
Per the code below, it is outputting the Last Name (lname) of the employee, a count of what I want, and the overall rank. I would like to concatenate the employee number (emp#) the first (fname) and last name (lname) together into the same column in the output.
The concatenation code would be something like the below.
Desired concatenation:
emp# || ' - ' || lname || ', ' || fname AS EMPLOYEE
I'm using Oracle 11g Express. Please let me know if you need any supporting information to assist you.
I appreciate all your help!!! Thank you.
Query
SELECT EMPLOYEE, PREPARED,
RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Prepared DESC) AS rank
FROM (SELECT lname EMPLOYEE , COUNT(DISTINCT reportnum) PREPARED
      FROM employee
      LEFT OUTER JOIN faultreport USING (empno)
      GROUP BY lname
      ORDER BY Prepared DESC)
WHERE rownum < 15;

Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002
I appreciate all your help!!! Thank you.

It looks like you've found the right way to concatenate the columns. How to use that in your query depends on your data, and what you want the query to do with that data.
If you GROUP BY lname, what do you want the concatenated value to be when different rows having the same lname have different fnames and/or emp#s?
Do you want to GROUP BY the new concatenated employee instead of lname?

FrameMaker update book icon not updating and custom formatting help

Hi,
I am fairly new to FrameMaker, and I am currently experiencing two issues:
First Issue
I am currently trying to create a book that currently has three chapters. I am trying to break it out into the following format:
Main TOC - includes all the headers and related pages for the entire book
Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File A
Chapter Source File A - includes all related content to Chapter Source File A
Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File B
Chapter Source File B - includes all related content to Chapter Source File B
Mini TOC - includes a mini TOC that highlights all the headers and pages associated with Chapter Source File C
Chapter Source File C - includes all related content to Chapter Source File C
Whenever I click the Update Book icon, however, it does not update the headers and page numbers. They still remain the same way when I first generated them. This occurs for both the main TOC and mini TOC.
Second Issue
In addition to the format structure I designed for my book, I also wanted to create a custom format look that remains constant whenever I update my TOC. I have tried testing this, but I noticed every time I generate a new TOC it is always in the unformatted FrameMaker style which you have reformat each time.
Is there a way to create a custom format look that can retain the design and simply update the TOC headers and page numbers each time it needs to be updated?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you!

First I'd highly recommend getting Matt Sullivan's Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FM11 book - it's a pretty complete reference one to have on FM.
Second, it sounds like you may not have your ToC reference pages set up correctly - if nothing changes when you've added content that should have created more ToC headings and shift pages around, then something is amiss. Your formatting problem is solved by doing a bit of a dodge - you create a ToC and generate it, then replace it with your formatted .fm doc keeping the exact name as the generated doc; then update again. Now the content is formatted the way you want and keeps being updated each time you update.
