No text wrapping in Design Editor display

Good morning All!
Something has happened to RH and when I look at Design Editor, the text is no longer wrapping the way it used to and I have to constantly move the scroll bar at the bottom of the interface to read what exists at the far right of the screen. (I am not referring to the text wrapping feature around a graphic.)
I have no idea what happened, its been like this for a couple days.
I sure would like to see my entire topic in the Design Editor w/o having to use the scroll bar! That's time consuming and a bit annoying.
I'd really appreciate some help.......
I am using Version 8.02208.

Using the CTRL button to select multiple text segments in Design Editor

Hi there,
This may be a fairly elementary question, however I'm very new to RoboHelp.
I'm currently building an online help text system, and when formatting my html files in Design Editor, I have to apply styles one at a time. I was hoping RoboHelp would have a function identical to Microsoft Word whereby holding down the CTRL key would allow you to select various segments in the file and apply the style. Eg. selecting only text you want to apply Heading 3 to.
If RoboHelp does not have this functionality, this project will take me in the vicinity of 7 years to complete. Thanks for your time.
Regards,
PK

No it doesn't work that way. What you need to do is create some character styles in your style sheet and apply those.
Paragraph styles are defined something like
P {
    font-size: 10pt;
    margin-top: 0pt;
    margin-bottom: 6pt;
    font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
    color: #000000;
    font-weight: normal;
P.Normal-Indent {
    margin-left: 20pt;
where the second P definition will inherit all that is in P plus add the indent.
When you select those styles, they will be applied to the whole paragraph.
You can also create characters classes. If you do it within RoboHelp, RH will write the CSS code for you. If you edit the CSS outside RH, then instead of writing P or some other tag, you would normally start with the full stop so you might have
.code {
    font-size: xx-small;
    font-family: Courier;
to apply the Courier font to a selection in any paragraph style.
In RoboHelp you need to prefix the character code with "span" to make it display in the dropdown, thus you would need:
span.code {
    font-size: xx-small;
    font-family: Courier;

Word wrap in design editor when zoomed

Hello
I use 9.0.1 version of RoboHelp HTML and I'm working on a shared project. I have a Dell Laptop and also have an external monitor that I have configured as an extended desktop. The external monitor is what I use to edit in RoboHelp. The resolution is set to 1366 x 768.
I'm finding that when I edit topics in Robohelp at 100%, it is difficult to read the text, I must be showing my age! OK, I admit to wearing multifocal lenses.
Anyway, I would really love to be able to zoom up to 125% or even 110%, but the problem is that the text does not wrap and I end up having to scroll sideways to see an entire line. I've even closed or minimized some of my other panes to increase my real estate for the main Design window but still end up having to scroll.
Also, I don't want to make any changes that would potentially affect the output, e.g. Page Setup changes.
I found a similar question to mine dating back two years http://forums.adobe.com/message/2530838 which shows a status of 'unanswered'- although some people did reply with suggestions including to raise a new feature request ticket.
I'm hoping that RoboHelp has included this as a new feature in the meantime and I just dont' know how to access it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Rose

Thanks for your response.
Yes, we dont have enough room on the page.
I want the text to wrap and display in the second line as it has more no. of letters compared to the other texts available.
Please suggest me a way to get the text displayed the way I want it to be.

Text wrapping in table

Hi,
i have a table and i want a column to have text wrapping.i am not able to make the column as text edit.I dont want it to be text view as i want that column to be editable.
Any ideas anyone?
PS:points will be rewarded for helpful answers.

You cannot set the cell editor to text edit unfortunately. You can get all possible cell editors by going to SE24 and do F4 on Object type CL_SALV_WD_UIE*
A solution to your problem would be displaying the text as textview (and use the method SET_WRAPPING to wrap or in case of a normal table mark the wrapping boolean) and add a button which popups a text editor. Of course this will need some programming efforts (creating new view and plugs, fetching selected column, linking context etc.).
I hope this will point you in the right direction.
With kind regards,

Text Wrapping of SubReport in Crystal Reports 2008

I am fully aware of the "Can Grow" option in the format editor screen of the subreport.
When I use the "Can Grow" Option - the Text is wrapping fine during the preview of the report, yet the subreport prints outside of the page's margins when the page is physically printed; however, if I set the font size to 9 pt, the text wraps correctly as expected during preview and print.
Any ideas as to why this may be happening? Anyone else having a similar issue?

Hi Taylor,
Check the length of the object displaying the text. The text will print within the size of the object, it has no concept of how large the subreport is, the text only knows the boundaries of the object it is in.
So if you shorten the length of your object in the subreport, it should wrap correctly. Make is about 1/4 inch shorter than you want it in the Main report.
Thanks,
Brian

Text Wrapping issue in Long Texts in ECC 6.0

Hi,
We are migrating Tasklist data from SAP 3.1i system to SAP 6.0. So we were moving the existing Long Text in 3.1i with the same paramenters to 6.0, I am facing an issue of text Wrapping(while displaying).
I am updating complete header data like - TDID, TDOBJECT, TDNAME, Lang, TDFORM(SYSTEM as in 3.1i), Version, Line Size(72 as in 3.1i), Number of Lines by using SAVE_TEXT FM.
I can see the text is updated properly but when i open the text in display mode(With PC Editor), i can see the text getting wrapped. Line size is limited to 40 Characters whereas in 3.1i its 72 characters.
Please help me here.
Thank you.
Prasad

Actually i tested with READ_TEXT function module. All parameters are fine, matches exactly with 3.1i but i am facing this issue while displaying.
In display mode - in 3.1i Ruler shows 7.2 Inches(72 Characters) whereas in 6.0 its 4 inches(40 Characters). Should i go for any settings change so that i can see complete 72 characters in 1 line.

JSP - LoadBundle and Component Error in Visual Design Editor

Hi.
I've tried to make simple international JSF application. So the first thing to do was to externalize strings from JSP to resources. According to instructions from Java Studio Creator Field Guide Chapter 13:
http://developers.sun.com/members/promo/jscreator/bookshelf/fieldguide2_preview_13_customizing.pdf
I added LoadBundle component to my JSP page:
<f:loadBundle basename="myApp.Bundle" var="messages1"/>
and set a text property of label component like this:
<ui:label binding="#{Page1.label1}" id="label1" labelLevel="1"
style="position: absolute; left: 144px; top: 48px; width: 240px; height: 24px" text="#{messages1.title}"/>
There is a line in myApp.Bundle.properties file:
title = Title from resource bundle
After changing text property of label component to #{messages1.title} I've got a message:
Component Error
Cannot display label component in the Visual Design editor.
Error message from the component: javax.faces.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Error testing property 'title' in bean of type null.

The same problem appears when I open example project from this book:
Login2I18N-Alt
It is a bug or am I doing something wrong?
greatings
znienacka

go to Tools/Update Center and download the latest
version of the components. It will solve the
problem.Thanks, it works. But there is still one drawback - Visual Designer doesn't show any text inside label. If I remove all strings from JSP to resource file I will get an empty page!
Is there any solution of this problem?

Text based VI Icon editor with letter compression

For anyone who is looking for a quick and easy text based icon editor I've posted my latest version in the LAVA CR
http://forums.lavag.org/downloads.html&showfile=56
Description:
This is the second version of my vi icon editor and was created in LV8.2. The purpose is to help quickly create text base icons. The editor can be used in place of the standard NI icon editor or as a stand alone vi. see instructions. My original posting of the icon editor Ver. 1 can be found here
LabVIEW 7.0,7.1 http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?s=&s...ost&p=19022
LabVIEW 8.0 http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?s=&s...ost&p=12920
Instructions:
1: The icon editor was designed to be used as a replacement for the standard NI editor LV8.x only. To get LabVIEW 8.x to use the editor place the three files (lv_icon.vi, color templates.bin and the folder lv_icon_Subvis) in the LabVIEW 8.2\resource\plugins directory.
The next time the icon editor is called LabVIEW will use the lv_icon.vi instead of the standard one.
There is a button on the editor that will allow you to use NI’s editor when a text icon is not desired.
2: The icon editor can also be called from another vi or used as a stand alone tool. Make sure the “From Editor” control is set to false either via terminal in the lower left corner of the connector pane or manually in the FP. This setting indicates to the vi that a vi reference will be used to extract and save the icon information. If the “VI REF” input control is invalid at runtime a dialogue box will appear asking the user to select a vi.
New features:
Along with the auto drawing and Text compressing from version 1, version 2 has 2 new features.
1: In addition to the 2 color format in version 1 the icon editor now supports a 5 color format (Frame, Header text, Header Back, Body Text, and Body Back). This is the standard frame that many programmers use.
2: In version 2 the last 10 icon color sets are saved in a binary file and are recalled each time the editor is open. These color sets can then be selected and reused.
Future Ideas and improvements:
A graphics picker that would import a list of graphics to choose from
Template creators were text zones could be created to avoid interfering with graphics.
Incorporate some or all of the Ni editor functions.
Text extractor that would fill in the text boxes from the icon image.
Please feel free to give me feedback. This version has benefited greatly from ideas given to me by coworkers and other programmers.

My thanks to Justin Goeres for the idea.
2:Key navigation has improved. The key navigation will only set focus to the text boxes to navigate between boxes use the tab, enter, up and down keys.
My thanks to boone_93 for the idea.
3:Improved UI. The buttons and current and previous icons have been relocated for a more intuitive look. I have also added tip strips to the buttons and history array.
My thanks to ahull for the idea.
4:Random color picker. A random color button has been added to help pick colors.
My thanks to Dave Graybeal for the idea.
5: FP auto centers. The icon editor will now open in the center of the primary display.
My thanks to tcplomp for the code.
6: The ability to read the text in the icon was added. If the icon to be changed was previously created by this icon editor the program will automatically detect the characters in the icon and convert them back into strings. This function allows for small changes like color changes and spelling mistakes to be changed without having to type all the text over.
This one was all mine.
7:Bug with Panel close fixed. When the user presses the x in the upper right corner the editor will shut down gracefully instead of locking up.
I made a avi file that shows some of the new features for Version 2.2 which I posted the support thread.

Is there a way to allow text wrapping on the outside (parent) group label IN SSRS Bar chart?

Hi,
I am using SSRS 2012. I have a series of charts that have multiple category groups. When I preview the chart, everything looks great unless the category group label is too long. In that case it just gets cut off. I've tried allowing
"wrapped text", changed interval values,font size for Y AXIS but that seems to only affect the inside (child) category group. Is there a way to allow text wrapping on the outside (parent) group label?
I am expecting AREA VIII BUT it shows AR on y axis.
I need to fix it asap.

Hi Sukhjeet.BI,
Actually, I can reproduced the issue in my local Reporting Services environment. If there are multiple category groups on the chart, the child category can be wrapped, but the parent category would be truncated. Based on my research, this behavior looks
like by design. Usually, the best practice is to limiting label length and number of items, use a smaller size label font or enlarge the chart size to get the chart to display properly.
If you have any concerns about this in Reporting Service, I would suggest you submitting a wish at

Text Wrap not working in Muse (CC 2014)

I'm attempting to wrap text around a slideshow. I have already inserted the slideshow in the text box, used the wrapping options to justify to the left, with the text running to the right and beneath the slideshow. In the design layout, it shows up perfectly. However, in the preview tab as well as previewing on the web, the wrapping does not show. The slideshow simply appears over the text, with the text running behind the slideshow. Any ideas on how to fix this problem or is it simply a bug that Adobe needs to eventually correct? Thanks for your help!
All my best,
Rob

Hard to tell from the screenshots. A couple nuances of text wrap that may be unexpected:
1) If you select an item with text wrap and move it up or down in Design view, that will move the item but will not change the area that is knocked out for text wrap purposes. Thus text can overlap on object that has text wrap applied if the item has been moved up or down while in the text flow.
2) Where an object is inserted in a flow is important. Generally it will provide the most predictable behavior if the graphic is inserted at the very start of a paragraph. If a graphic is inserted in the middle of a paragraph and text wrap is applied, exactly where the graphic will appear will be dependent on how the browser line breaks the text of the paragraph before where the graphic was inserted. A change in line breaks can result in the graphic appearing a line higher or lower in one browser versus another, since every browser has it's own text layout engine.
Assuming neither of the 2 points above fit what you're seeing, it's probably most expedient to send us the .muse file along with a link to this thread for context at [email protected] and a note to let us know where to find the problem situation within the file so we can see the exact situation and settings for what you're encountering. If the file is larger than 20Mb you'll want to send it using a service such as Adobe Send, WeTransfer, Dropbox, etc. Thanks.

Can the text wrap tool options be reinstated?

I may have inadvertenly hit some keyboard code to remove the options, though I certainly don't remember doing so. There are no options displayed at all, only a box that can be checked or unchecked to use the text wrap on the master pages only. I have tried it both ways, and checked the master pages for possible boxes, but there is nothing. Has anyone else ever encountered this? I appreciate your help! Thanks so much -

What version of ID are you using? What OS?
Your description is a littel vague but it sounds like you've opened the Text Wrap panel flyout menu and all you see is the option to limit wrap on a master page object to other text on the master page. Is the panel itself blank?
If that's the case, see Replace Your Preferences

Text wrap effects text in different columns differently

In InDesign CS4, if you have a 2-column text box and a graphic with a text wrap that spans from one column into another, the text wrap will offset the text in the two columns by different amounts if the graphic is aligned with the top of the text box. That shouldn't happen; the very same text wrap on the very same graphic should offset the text in the two columns by the same amount. But it doesn't. The baselines will not line up from column to column.
Clearly you can get around this if you snap to a baseline grid. But what if you don't want to use baseline grid? Is there a way to get the text wrap to offset the text in both columns equally?
I have attached a screen capture to demonstrate the problem. In this case, the baselines align, but the text wrap is clearly affecting the text in the left column and not affecting the text in the right column, even though they are aligned on the same baseline! Any suggestions?

You're right, it shouldn't happen, but it's a long-standing bug (or feature). One workaround is to use a baseline grid. Another is to adjust the wrap offset so that it matches the baseline in the opposite column. Another way is to not design so a wrapped object blocks the full width of one column but not it's neighbor. It doesn't matter where you have the wrapped object -- if it completely blockst the top of one column and leaves a any space at the top in an adjacent column where text will fit, you'll get the potential for unbalanced baselines.
The reason it happens is that in a column where text can reach the top, the baseline for the first line is controlled byt he first baseline settings in the text frame options. If the text can't reach the top of the column the positioning is controlled by the depth of the object and any additional offset for the wrap.

Text wrap in anchored objects

In order to place text boxes relative to the spine, I have placed them as anchored objects.
But now, these text frames do not respect text wrap setting from objects outside of the anchored object.
I have made sure that ignore text wrap in text frame options is not checked.
Is this a bug?
And does anyone know a workaround?

In order to make my design indifferent to later added pages, I have placed all text frames and graphic placeholders as anchored objects, positioning them relative to spine.
When I now place an object on top of such an anchored text frame, text wrap is not working, even if i overide the master page item.
The only work around I have found is to copy the respective text frame and make the original master page item unvisible.
Is there not another way to to this?
For me, the best would be another way of placing text and graphic frames relative to spine.
Bus as soon as one overrides the master page item, the object is not placed anymore relative to spine if another page is inserted.
