Need a CS2 workaround - Add space for line at top of text box

I need a way to add space before a line of text (it's a subheading kind of thing) which is the fist line in the text box, since "space before" in paragraph styles doesn't work for this. I'm stuck using CS2 at work, but I made the layout on CS4 at home that uses a workaround involving 0pt rules offset and the Keep in Frame option. This feature is not in CS2 (ugh).
Any help is appreciated.

A yucky way of pulling this off without CS3's (and later) "Keep Above Rule in Frame" could be to set the leading extra large. The default Baseline options for text frames is to ignore leading, but you can change it to use the leading. A drawback is that also impacts your regular text ...
How about an even yuckier trick?
1. Make the font extra extra large. InDesign ignores super-extra-big leading by default, but it does honor text size. To be precise: the text size that's in the character panel size box (this is important!). If you make the font extra extra large, this is the size that's going to be used.
2. Now you have large text ... so scale it back down using the Horizontal and Vertical scale in the Advanced Character Formats. If you made the text twice as large, use 50% / 50% to scale it back.
3. Done.
I said it would be yuckie.

  • Line on top of text box

    I got a nice photo book printed out but on top of any page with a long text box there is a horizontal line atop the heading for that text panel.... I thought it was just a visual anomoly in the app but it actually PRINTED that way and now I've got a book with weird elements all over the place (see attached).

    Interesting. Indeed, it relies less heavily on internals, so should be more portable across versions.
    The drawback is the "whole container painting" side, so one might need to crop the image to the wanted portion, which is a minor issue.
    I hope JavaFX will offer some day a fromFXNode() function, to avoid any hack. And it was [proved it might accelerate a script|http://piliq.com/javafx/?p=1108] to use an image out of lot of nodes instead of trying to manipulate all the nodes, so it is useful beyond saving/transmitting the image.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • HT201364 how do i add space for start up

    Hi do i add space or remove item on the start up disk

    Sorry, I don't understand.
    Are you trying to install Mavericks and it tells you there is  not enough disk space to install?
    If so, you need to look in your Documents, Pictures, Movies, etc and move any items you don't need onto an external device or delete them if you have no use for them ever again.
    Are you running 10.5.8 or 10.8.5?

  • How do I add space between lines of text in the same cell on Numbers 3.0.1

    I just updated to Mavericks 10.9. In numbers, I used to be able to uncheck a box in the inspector that would make it so the Return key did not move to the next cell, but instead allowed me to add more space between lines of text in the same cell.
    How can I do this in the new version of numbers?

    HI ilb,
    Numbers 3 is a complete rewrite of the application. This preference option hasn't (yet) been included, but N3 is very much a 'work in progress. A word to Apple via Provide Numbers Feedback asking to have this option included in Numbers 3 might be a useful step. You'll find Provide Numbers Feedback in the Numbers menu in Numbers.

  • Need a scenario where we go for line item diemension?

    can anyone explain the senario where we use the line item dimension ?
    and how we know that size of dimension is more than fact tablw?

    Hi
    You need to roughly estimate that if you put two characteristics in one dimension means,
    say plant and material
    say there are 100 plants and 1000 materials...
    then your dimension table will have 100 * 1000 = 100000 entries.so your fact table need to contain 100000 entries for these two chars...
    .instead of putting these two into one dimension...if you put two dimensions...total entries in two dimensions are 100 + 1000= 1100...so your fact table contains 1100 entries...right???
    so you need to think like this...if you feel that  a characteristic may contains high cardinality then you have to go for line item dimension
    run program
    sap_infocube_designs
    this will give the fact to dimension rations of all your cubes and indicate if the cube is balanced or not.
    Hope it helps
    Thanks

  • How to interpret Line Returns in a text box

    Hello,
    I have a text file that contains several sentences that are tab delimited:
    For Example:
    The cat sat on the mat.   The dog sat on the cat.   [Where the two sentences are delimited]
    My first objective is to read these two statements into two separate text boxes… and I can do this.
    My second objective is to add a line return to each statement so that when in their respective text boxes they will appear as:
    The cat sat                    The dog sat
    on the mat.                    on the cat.
    I don’t know how to do this.  Any ideas…?  Ideally I want to insert something like “/n” into the sentence so that LabVIEW can interpret it as a new/return line command when it outputs it to the text box.
    Kind regards,

    Here's one possible solution (note the string format display settings, LV 2010).
    I use an array for the output for simplicity. You can index individual elements if really needed.
    First we create an array of sentences (tab is delimiter).
    Then, for each sentence, we create an array of words (space delimiter)
    We reshape the array of words to two rows (pad if the number of words is odd).
    We form the two line sentence using array to spreadsheet string with space as delimiter.

  • How can I add an image to my pop up text box built in Fireworks?

    Hello all,
    I have already built my page (a map) with all the pop up text boxes in Fireworks and imported them into my Dreamweaver page, but I would like to add an image in that same pop up box as well as the text. I tried going back to Fireworks and editing the pop up box, but there is no option for adding an image alongside the text. Is there a way I can go into the code and add the image? This is a line of code for one of the pop up boxes:
    <td rowspan="4"><a href="javascript:;" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore();MM_menuStartTimeout(0)" onmouseover="MM_menuShowMenu('MMMenuContainer1016121037_0', 'MMMenu1016121037_0',25,23,'Plaza_map_r11_c6');MM_swapImage('Plaza_map_r11_c6','','Plaza_ map_r11_c6_f2.jpg',1);"><img name="Plaza_map_r11_c6" src="Plaza_map_r11_c6.jpg" width="30" height="28" border="0" id="Plaza_map_r11_c6" alt="" /></a></td>
    I'm trying to avoid rebuilding the whole thing in another program! Thanks very much in advance.

    If you have more than one of these, then I would add a class rule to your css style sheet
    .fltleft     {
         float:left;
    }.fltright     {
         float:right;
    Then add this rule to your image.
    <img name="Plaza_map_r11_c6" src="Plaza_map_r11_c6.jpg" class="fltleft" width="30" height="28" border="0" id="Plaza_map_r11_c6" alt="" (add new image here) ?>
    This will position your image to the left in the container. You can then add the fltright in the same way.

  • What is the script for creating a word count text box that references a specific text box?

    I am working in Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
    I am trying to create an auto populated word count box that provides the word count for a given text box.  For background, it'll be used on a form for blog posts and the posts needs to be specified word lengths but will probably be edited in form as it is passed around a committee.
    I found this script: var wordCnt = new Array();var str = this.rawValue;wordCnt = str.split(" ");xfa.resolveNode("wordcount").rawValue = "There are " + wordCnt.length + " words."; and created a textbox named wordcount but when I use it I get an error stating unfound Array.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Help with code for score-keeping with dynamic text box

    Hi All,
    I'm having an actionscript 2.0 problem with keeping score.
    I have a dynamic text box with a variable called score.
    I have the following action code for that variable:
    _root.score = 0;
    For the correct answer button I have this action:
    _root.score = Number (score) +10;
    This works fine to increase the score by 10 for each correct answer.
    The problem is that I can't get an if statement to work for when the score reaches 150 to gotoAndPlay a certain frame. I've tried various syntax, I've tried it on the action for a button and an action for the timeline with: 
    onRelease = function () {
    (My learning game is set up to allow for users to answer up to four extra questions to reach the score of 150).
    Nothing works. Any suggestions please?

  • Acrobat v9 JavaScript Alert Box - any way to add space or line break after each array item?

    I have a Document level Javascript used to identify blank required fields and is triggered on document actions, Print and Save. The script identifies the blank required fields, counts them, and outputs to an Alert box indicating the number of required fields blank and lists the fields by tooltip name. The script identifies the required fields by an asterisk at the end of each tool tip.
    My question is there any way to add a space or a line break after the comma for each listed item?
    Here is an image of the output where the listed items are all run together.
    Here is the code:
    function validateFields()
    //a counter for the number of empty fields
    var flg = 0
    // count all the form fields
    var n = this.numFields
    //create an array to contain the names of required fields
    //if they are determined to be empty
    var fArr = new Array();
    //loop through all fields and check for those that are required
    // all fields that have a '*' in their tool tip are required
    for(var i = 0;i<n;i++){
    var fn = this.getNthFieldName(i);
    var f = this.getField(fn);
    //tool tip is the fields\'s 'userName' property;
    var tt = f.userName
    //test for the '*';
    if(tt.indexOf('*')!=-1 && f.value == f.defaultValue){
    //increment the counter of empty fields;
    flg++;
    //add the fields userName (tool tip) to the list of empty field names;
    fArr[fArr.length] = tt;
    //now display a message if there are empty fields
    if(flg>0){
    app.alert('There are '+flg+' fields that require a value\n\n'+ fArr,3)
    else{
    this.print();

    Thank you! The alert box array items now have a line break, image below.  You know you have made my day and possibly several weeks as now I have more understanding about how to apply everything I have been reading in the Acrobat JavaScript guide and of course as soon as you pointed out using a "join", that triggered some old-days of working with Access and SQL queries.
    I will work on the required attribute to see how I might reference it.  I am laughing at myself now - good luck to me in figuring it out as I was very stick-in-the-mud regarding the line break issue.
    Thanks again and here is the result of the updated code:

    Hi,
    If you'd upgrade to LV5.1 or 6 you could use the 'standard' vi's for this.
    You need a VI called "Write BMP File.vi". It's not shipped with LV5.0.1.
    This vi only uses 3 subVI's, so perhaps someone at NI can convert it and
    send it to you (sorry, I won't, it's copywrited).
    If you cannot get this VI anywhere, you'll need to figure out the BMP file
    format yourself. It's not too complicated, but still could take some days.
    Perhaps someone figured it out before LV5.1 was released.
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

  • Swap space for multiple instaces on the same box

    OS: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2 (64-bit)
    DB: 10.2.0.4
    I'm fairly new to Linux and have a general question about configuring swap space on a Linux box running 10g. From the 10g: Managing Oracle on Linux for DBAs class, Oracle gives the following recommendations about swap size:
    RAM (Swap)
    <= 2Gb (150% of the RAM size)
    Between 2Gb - 8Gb (Equal to the RAM size)
    8Gb+ (75% of the RAM size)
    It's not clear to me from reading the book if this recommendation is good for all Oracle processes running on the machine, or if it's a per instance value? The box has 16Gb of RAM but there are going to be three instances running on it and I need to verify that 12Gb of swap will support all three without issue or if I'll need to configure 12Gb swap per instance.
    Appreciate any input.

    As noted earlier in this thread, swap space is an operating system property, and has nothing to do with software you want to run on top of it, like an oracle database.
    The function of swap space is to be able cope with memory allocations beyond the amount of physical memory. In most occasions you do not want to use swap space, because it has a severe performance impact (memory blocks have to be exchanged from the swap device to physical memory).
    (please mind that on some unixes (AIX and HPUX if I am not mistaking), swap is pre-allocated for processes which means the swap size is not only depended of operating system and memory size, but also the number of processes. Linux does not do that, it starts to allocate swap pages under memory pressure. There are certain issues with some memory settings in linux (linux kernel memory management is quite automatic) that can get your system to page. (memory overcommitting is one thing))
    In my experience, the amount of memory which is used is depended on the amount of memory on the machine in most cases. Whilst this sound simple, think of it: with 2GB used, probably most DBA's would allocate approximately 1.5GB to the databases on that machine, if your machine got 16GB you probably want approximately 14GB to be used by the databases.
    This means (for me) that I use swapspace with the same size as the amount of memory. That few extra GB's allocated to swap won't cost you or your company an arm and a leg, so have that for not running out of memory.
