Modify amount of space after line return

hi
I'm creating a html email (using a table and a new inline style each time i insert text, as advised)
However, this query may apply to any form of html produced in dreamweaver:
Can I set and modify the amount of space inserted after a line return?
I know shift+return gives standard space but I'd like to ideally insert a slightly bigger space than this (although not as big a full "return" gives)
Surely this must be possible?
All help appreciated
Tom

Hi Tom,
Hitting the enter key gives you a paragraph tag <p> </p>
Paragraphs have a default margin so you need to change that margin.To change/adjust the margin on all paragraphs on your page use css.
Add it to the head of the page between style tags or to an external stylesheet:
p {margin: 5px 0 0;}
The above sets margin 5 pixels top 0 pixels right/left 0 pixels bottom. Adjust as per your need.
Thanks

Space after paragragh "returns"

Hi!
I've made a template so that I don't have to keep telling Pages not to make space after each paragraph, but... Each time I use a style (like Heading) it automaticlly sets the space after a paragraph to 12 pt. This is annoying - can I change it?
Thanks

Hi Rune
The spacing after each paragraph is associated with each individual paragraph style - not globally across all of them. If you don't want it to happen for your heading styles, either redefine the ones in the template you started from or define new ones.
Be aware of the space before in the style that is defined to be used after your heading style.
I hope that helps.

You are most welcome.
I found the pdf Pages 2 User Guide accessible from the front help page to be the most useful thing. It's 250 pages but there is a great deal of white space in there. It contains most of the useful conceptual stuff you need that is absent from the individual help snippets.
Don't ever feel guilty about posting a question though. That's what these boards are for.

HELP! GREP Line Return Removal

Hi All,
I’m importing a bunch of text files and making a script. I am still novice in the world of GREP. I need a GREP code to find this: (1 space, a line return, another 4 spaces, then a character). The character is important so it doesn’t run my real line returns together. I'm going to replace it with a space to eliminate all these horrible line returns.
THANK YOU!

Looking at the new screen grab, it appears that there are 10 spaces at the beginning of the lines, but no spaces at all before the hard returns (not to mention the even larger strings of spaces at the start of the headings. Are you purposely leaving some spaces to provide the iindents? That's a bad way to work.Indents should all be set as part of the paragraph style.
I'd be inclined to to several steps here, starting with trying to isolate the paragraphs that are headings and apply a style. Based on the very small example, I think you could use a search for ^\s{10}\s+ (the ^ says the spaces are at the beginning of the paragraph and the rest says "more than ten" since there seems to be variability). In the change formatting assign a unique parargraph style.
Do the same thing, but this time search only for ^\s{10} and apply a different unique style.
Now you can fix the spaces and remove the returns. The first search will clear the spaces in front of the headings: Search for ^\s+ and set the find format to the heading style you assigned. Clear the change format, and leave the change to field blank. This will emove all the leading spaces from the heading paragraphs. It's important to do this before the next step.
Now search for \r\s+ and set the find format to the second style you assigned above for paragraphs starting with 10 spaces. Put the cursor in the change to field and press spacebar once to add a space. This will replace all the mid-paragraph returns and extra spaces with a single space, but the first line will still have leading spaces. Search again for ^\s+ with the find format still set to the same style and clear the change to field to remove the last leading spaces for the paragraphs.
Jongware, did I get that right?

Since changing over to Mountain Lion I discover that I am no longer able to adjust spaces between lines. If I choose spacing of 1.3 after two lines single-spaced, the entire previous lines end up with 1.3 spacing. What am I missing?

Since changing over to Mountain Lion I discover that I am no longer able to adjust spaces between lines. If I choose spacing of 1.3 after two lines single-spaced, the entire previous lines end up with 1.3 spacing. What am I missing?

Do those previous lines have a Return/Linefeed after them, or are they just wrapped to a new line?
What App is it you're using?

How do I "space after" every other line?

I am trying to set up a listing of names and dollars like this...
name
dollar amount
name
dollar amount
name
dollar amount
name
dollar amount
After the dollar amount I need to it have a space of 0.625, I am creating this list as text which I have converted from a table. Right now I have to just click on the line a and manual hit the "space After" option to put the 0.625 spacing in there. Is there a way to do this all at once because there will be at least 300 names every time I do this? So i need to be able to have the spacing on every other line...
Thanks,
Sam

I use a body text style with Space Before and have a Bullets_FirstLine style with space before. I have the Next Style of BulletsFirstLine as as Bullets, which does not have any Space Before. This means that I can automatically apply the styles to the bullets when either typing directly or, more frequenty by highlighting all the paragraphs to be bulleted and right clicking on BulletsFirstLine and selecting "Apply Style then Next Style". I cannot remember the exact wording - I don't have InDesign open at the moment.

Space after Paragraph: How much picas equal a blank line in Garamond Regular 7.5?

I'm using Indesign CC and would like to add a blank line after every paragraph in my document. I found out how to do that, but the only unit I'm offered is picas. I could probably switch to inches, but that doesn't really help me. My main text is written in Garamond Regular font size 7.5 and I would like to have blank space after each paragraph equal to a blank line written in that font with that size. How do if find out much large a blank line with those font settings is? I guessed and it seems to be equal to 0p7, but it would be great if I could do that without guessing blindly. I'm glad for any help.

I am not sure to understand. Garamond (or any other typeface) 7.5 equals to… 7.5 pts. But the size of a typeface is measured from ascender to descender, so it does not give you an accurate idea of the real height of the line. But leading is measured from baseline to baseline and this corresponds to the measure you are looking for. Once again, you need to know the leading value and you have to enter this value for the space after.
And 1 pica is equal to 12 pts.

In insert: Space after period and before carriage return is being ignored

I am using Oracle 11.2.0.2.
let say I create table temp(a varchar2(20);
insert into temp values ('value.
valuue2');
I have put space after 'value. ' but it is being ignore when I run it from linux host in sqlplus.
The space seems to be preserved when I insert it from TOAD/Windows xp.
Any idea what might be causing it.

hI,
I have the same result in SQLPLUS.
I would not rely on code with strings spread over multiple lines you should use the below code to add newlines:
insert into temp values ('Yes.Space. ' || chr(10) || 'x');This makes it very clear there is and a space and a newline.
This is much easier to maintain as well.
Just to compair the two, see below:
select
LEVEL
,substr(a ,level,1)
,ASCII( substr(a ,level,1) )
from
SELECT
'YES.Space.
x' A
FROM

Simple??? Want "INSERT" function to return blank space after a field, how?

All,
Am I just having a brain fart? I have a situation where I have a field that needs to return just one space, or a value that has a space before and after it.
Example:
In the text ==> I am<field>going to the office. <-- notice no space between am, <field> and going
I want it to say if FALSE, then "I am *not* going to the office."
If true, then "I am going to the office."
If true, I'm simply RETURN(""); <-- This returns a blank space
If FALSE, I have tried:
ret="not"
RETURN(" " & ret & " ");
This returns "I am notgoing to the office". <-- Notice no blank space after "not"?
I've tried
ret="not";
ret2=(" " & ret);
RETURN(Insert(ret2, 3, " "));
Still the same result. What's strange is, if I do a RETURN(Insert(ret2, *2*, " "));, then it returns "I am no tgoing to the office" <-- Notice the space between the "o" and the "t"?
Ideas?

Trailing spaces are often removed from data. In your case, the easiest thing to do will be to use what is called the "hard space" character instead of a "real" space. This is key code ALT+0160. For all intent and purposes, it looks like a space and will print as a space, but since it is not technically the space (0032) character, it will not be trimmed from your projects. Just open the quotes, turn off the NUMLOCK and hold down the ALT key and type 0160 and then release the ALT key. This will add the hard space into your string. Then if you are like me, you will have to remember to turn the NUMLOCK back on.
" not "
I'm not sure how this will post into this message, but the example above is using hard space characters.

Exchange rate in header of acc.doc after posting return to vendor

Hi Gurus,
in accounting document, when i recalculated amount in doc.currency & amount in local currency in item line was not same with exchange rate in header section...Anyone can explain to me why this miscalculation can happen ?
Thanks

Hi Zafar,
exchange rate in header of this acc.doc was take automatically from table OB08 & the problem is in item line this acc.doc which is generated automatically after posting return to vendor the calculation amount in local currency was not take the exchange rate from header but from exchange rate when GR ( FLow : mvt 101--> mvt 122 ). so this is normal behaviour or there are bug ?
thanks in advance

Is there any way to increase the amount of space for all day events?

I have iCal on my ipad and my phone, and when I look at the daily view or weekly view, only 1 1/2 lines are shown. If I have a few events that are all day (I keep several calendars) then I have to scroll through them one at a time. And with my fingers, sometimes they go by too fast. Does anyone know how to increase the amount of space? I am using an iPad3, and an iPhone 5, both with ios 7.
Thank you!

With Mac OS X, there is no way for you to alter the amount of real memory a program is allocated. This is all done dynamically by the OS. OS X's virtual memory management is far better than 'ole OS 9's.
What are saying about a memory leak? I take it that Safari is continually using more and more memory. How much memory is it usually taking up after a few hours? Perhaps you should just quit and restart Safari every few hours before it begins failing to respond.

'Space after' style not applying to text in 'preview in browser' (chrome) or export modes.

Hi all,
I seem to run into this issue everytime I have two paragraph style applied within one text container.
If I include a heading and apply a paragraph style which includes 'space after' and then some text below with another style it does not appear in either 'preview in browser' (Chrome) or in the exported html. The text appears butted up against each other. Please keep in mind there are no other paragraph or character styles applied to this container.
It works if I 'unlink style from selection'.
However this is extremely frustrating when you have a text heavy site with multiple paragraph styles - it effectively renders paragraph styles useless and generates excessive CSS code and a very time-consuming process if I need to go back and alter the paragraph styles.
Does anyone else experience this issue? Can anyone shed some light on this?
I need to get this site through to my client ASAP and would rather have a professional CSS file rather than one full of work-arounds.
Adobe, please respond ASAP.
Kind regards,
Adam

For two separate paragraph styles to work in one text container in muse,
you need to use a hard return.
You would use Character Styles if you want to use two specific styles inside one text container
with just a "en space" between the text.
This is based on using Muse generated CSS and not going into the CSS files after Muse generated the code and altering to modify the look.
See attached file:

Can I insert a space after numbered items in a list without losing auto-renumbering?

I'm a new Pages user trying to adapt Harvard template for my needs. Can I somehow make a space after each item in a numbered list without losing auto-re-numbering? If paragraph space is used, program does not seem to recognize next number as part of the same list. Again, tried to check for previous question/answer on this but I'm not clear on how to search forum before submiting a question. Thanks Danie

Hi Danie,
Use a line feed (shift-return) instead of a paragraph break (return).

Space After....

I know this is possible because I learned how to do it about a year ago, but I didn't remember how
I have a page of paragraphs, and I understand how to use the Space After to designate how much space to leave between each paragraph.
However, within each of my paragraphs, I have indented, bulleted, items.
Which means, I have 'returns' within each paragraph, which means the 'space after' is happening after each 'return' rather than just at the end of each paragraph.
What do I do so that I am in control of this?
Thank you
Marion

I have used nested styles, so the first phrase of each paragraph (a question) is a different color. That's perfect.
I have used shift-enter, so that the extra-space between paragraphs only happens between paragraphs (not between my initial blurb and the bulleted items.) That's perfect
I am struggling to get the bulleted items to be bulleted
I figured I could create a new style to nest within this 'paragraph style', but I can only nest character styles within my paragraph style. And character styles do not address bullets.
I figured I could create several independent paragraph styles - apply one style for the non-bulleted areas, and then a bullet style to the lines that need bullet.
But each time I try to apply the para style with bullets, the bullets are happening to the line above the ones I want. I have played with the paragraph rules (on, off, above, below) but I am not getting what I need.
Is this to abstract to follow?
Sorry -
Thanks for your suggestions -
Marion (operating on zero sleep in days)
It works if I I use Type->insert special character ->Symbol ->Bullet
instead of trying to make a bulleted list

Creating Space after a Paragraph Style

Okay, all, this may sound weird. All I want to do in CS4 is have an extra 4 pt of space after a particular paragraph style. Specifically, my paragraph style, Body Text, already has "space after" specified at 3 pt. Fine. But, for example, when I have three paragraphs of just this style, I want the three paragraphs separated by an additional 4 pt of space. (There is no consistency in documents when this situation occurs.)
At first, I thought it might be possible to do this via a nested character style. Nope. Back in FrameMaker, I used to do this manually, whenever I wanted extra space. My trainers would add paragraph tags (ugh).
Still a newbie...
Thanks!
Lizbeth

Maybe I'm really missing your meaning here. When I override a style setting to get more space below, I add space below the *paragraph*. I don't adjust anything about the last line. This is no different in Framemaker. In Framemaker, you can add space above or below a paragraph, either as part of a style (what FM calls a "format") or as a style override. You don't "adjust the last line of a paragraph" in either program.
There's one important difference between FrameMaker's paragraph
spacing and most other DTP or WP tools: Space between FM paragraphs is
NOT ADDITIVE. Space below a paragraph is not added to space above the
following paragraph. In FM, the larger space wins. (I think Ventura
has this feature also, or perhaps has the option for additive or
larger-one-wins.)
If the issue is to make inter-paragraph spacing work non-additively
like FM, please file a feature request for this as an option, at:
www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
EDIT: The forum was unavailable for a while, and my email response was bounced. By the time I discovered the rejected mail, I saw Lizbeth's mention of having used Based-on paragraph styles. Probably the based-on style caused the mysterious behavior. The based-on property style information is only visible in the define/modify style dialog box. I'm going to enter a feature request for an indicator for the based-on property that will appears wherever a style's name appears, and, if possible, displays the name of the based on paragraph, character, and object style. Master pages do show the based-on master letter on the page icons in the pages panel, but they lose their own letter. I'll also ask for this feature.
