Number & Text format question

I have a form that I need the user to type in a series of numbers & text. When they tab away from the field I want the format to be 21:846=ND.F
Do I need to do something in Java Script or how else would I make this happen? Thanks

You can use a pattern to display the information in the format that you want. Will the format always be 2 numbers:3numbers = two letters.one letter?

Table cell - text formatting question

Can't seem to find how to do this. I changed the marging of
the box to 5 pixels. That only seems to effect a sentence after a
hard-break. It does not effect soft-breks/returns.
I'd like every line in the cell to be 3 pixels from the left
border.
Thx!

Not enough. Code from Main.css please.

In fact it's about mac:excel, how convert in a cell a number written in text format into a value?

in fact it's about mac:excel8 or 11 in OSX10.7.4,
how convert in a cell a number written in text format into its value?
cheers francois

Hi francois,
If I copyone of them and do a past special/value, it does not work.
Try just Paste instead of Paste Special > Value
I know your question is about Excel, but this works in Numbers:
Copy 1 234 567 (with spaces) and Paste (not Paste Special) into a Cell in a Numbers Table. The result is 1234567 and it behaves as a number. A formula will consider it to be a number:
You asked Wayne: what do you mean by "to reference a cell" ??
The reference is from Cell A2 to Cell A1 through a formula, such as: =A1+1
Regards,
Ian.

Radio buttons - text format

Hi everyone!
I can't seem to get this to work! I want the text on the radio buttons to wrap correctly as they reach the end of the stage (right now they just keep going forever. Here is the code I am using:
package {
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import flash.text.TextFormat;
    import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import fl.controls.RadioButton;
    import fl.controls.RadioButtonGroup;
    public class QuizQuestion extends MovieClip {
        private var question:String;
        private var questionField:TextField;
        private var choices:Array;
        private var theCorrectAnswer:int;
        private var theUserAnswer:int;
        //variables for positioning:
        private var questionX:int = 25;
        private var questionY:int = 150;
        private var answerX:int = 25;
        private var answerY:int = 200;
        private var spacing:int = 25;
        public function QuizQuestion(theQuestion:String, theAnswer:int, ...answers) {
            //store the supplied arguments in the private variables:
            question = theQuestion;
            theCorrectAnswer = theAnswer;
            choices = answers;
            //create and position the textfield (question):
            questionField = new TextField();
            questionField.width = 775;
            questionField.wordWrap = true;
            questionField.multiline = true;
            questionField.text = question;
            //trace (questionField.width);
            questionField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
            questionField.x = questionX;
            questionField.y = questionY;
            addChild(questionField);
            //Text Format for radio buttons
            var txtFmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            txtFmt.font = "Arial";
            txtFmt.blockIndent = 2;
            txtFmt.color = 0x000000;
            txtFmt.size = 11;
            txtFmt.leading = 4;
            //create and position the radio buttons (answers):
            var myGroup:RadioButtonGroup = new RadioButtonGroup("group1");
            myGroup.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
            for(var i:int = 0; i < choices.length; i++) {
                var rb:RadioButton = new RadioButton();
                rb.setStyle("textFormat", txtFmt);
                rb.textField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
                rb.label = choices[i];
                rb.group = myGroup;
                rb.value = i + 1;
                rb.x = answerX;
                rb.y = questionY + questionField.height + 25 + (i * spacing);
                addChild(rb);
        private function changeHandler(event:Event) {
            theUserAnswer = event.target.selectedData;
        public function get correctAnswer():int {
            return theCorrectAnswer;
        public function get userAnswer():int {
            return theUserAnswer;
As you can see, I managed to get the text field style of the radio buttons to use "txtFmt" as the style:
rb.setStyle("textFormat", txtFmt);
The issue:
If I add:
rb.textField.width = 352;
rb.textField.height = 60;
rb.textField.multiline = rb.textField.wordWrap = true;
inside the "for loop" that creates the radio button, it just makes my text go all crazy! It only extends the text about 30 pixels after the radio button and then starts wrapping it, making it all stack on top of each other. How can I make it create the radio button, show the text on the text field, wrap around once it reached the edge of the stage and the continue the next button.
thank you in advanced,
Rafa.

Kglad,
I added the trace command to the 1st frame of my FLA, and it shows the "test" message on the output window.

I also have a timer running on my FLA, but even if I comment out the timer, I still get the same issue.

Locale Formatting question

Locale Formatting question
In the preceding code the number 50 represent currency.
The output of NumberFormat is 50 with the local symbol
The output of DecimalFormat is 50.00 without the local symbol
The question is how to show 50.00 with the local symbol ???
import java.text.*;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
public class LocalFormating {
public static void main(String[] args) {
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
DecimalFormat decfs = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
BigDecimal anumb = new BigDecimal(50);
String temp = nf.format(anumb);
System.out.println("local anumb = " +temp);
String temp2 = decfs.format(anumb);
System.out.println("Decimal format anumb = " +temp2);

Locale Formatting question
In the preceding code the number 50 represent currency.
The output of NumberFormat is 50 with the local symbol
The output of DecimalFormat is 50.00 without the local symbol
The question is how to show 50.00 with the local symbol ???
import java.text.*;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
public class LocalFormating {
public static void main(String[] args) {
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
DecimalFormat decfs = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
BigDecimal anumb = new BigDecimal(50);
String temp = nf.format(anumb);
System.out.println("local anumb = " +temp);
String temp2 = decfs.format(anumb);
System.out.println("Decimal format anumb = " +temp2);

How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

Hi,
You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
Following idea could be your task flow
Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
|
v
Router
1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
hope it helps,

Crystal report : Export to Text format from BI Launch pad

Hi,
We are facing issue in exporting the Crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad view mode. Currently BI launch pad doesn’t support export to Text format option for crystal report in view mode. But export to text format option is feasible in schedule mode. But customer is not interested in exporting the reports through schedule mode.
Please advise, if we have any alternative way of exporting the crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad.
Thanks,
Chinnu A

Hi Chinnu,
The question is better suited to be asked in the BI Platform space.

An editable region, how to keep text formatting?

Hello fellas.
Is there any way to keep the text formatting when I paste it
into my edible region of the template?
Every time I attempt it - dreamweaver gives me message "
making this change would require code change which is locked by a
template". The only way to paste anything into a region is by
turning off any copy/paste text formatting completely, which is
painful to edit, especially with a large number of articles.
Would greatly appreciate any help.

This is a common alert when the page you are working on
contains *any*
coding anomalies (perhaps in a location other than the
editable region).
Does the page validate before the paste? Does the code you
are pasting
validate?
The answer is, of course, it's possible to retain formatting
(provided all
code is valid). What app are you pasting from?

How to keep text formatting from a php flatplan to Indesign

Hi forum users
my question is this:
My company uses a PHP flatplan to recive and store work ready for the deisgners to place in indesign, however any text formatting ie bold, italics etc when copied from the flatplan dont keep when pasted into indesign, im just wondering if there is a way to keep the formatting if anyone knows.
Currently using Indesign 5.5 but wondering if Indesign 6 has any fixes for this etc
many thanks

It may not work for PHP, but there is an option in the prefs to include all information, or text only, when pasting from external applications.

Can Pages 4.3 maintain defined text formatting for at a given list level?

I'm hoping the answer to this question is a simple 'duh' solution that I some how over looked. I'm using Pages 4.3 and I am trying to create a tiered list to organize ideas into different sublevels. I want to be able to write at a particular level, then create sub levels (return -> tab) with different formatting so the levels are easily distinguished at a glance. When I move back to the higher levels (return -> shift + tab), Pages maintaines the text formatting I used at the lower level, rather than returning to the previously used format at the higher level. For example, what I want is ....
Main 1             --- (Return -> Tab)
Sub 1             --- (Return -> Shift +Tab)
Main 2
What I get is...
Main 1             --- (Return -> Tab)
Sub 1             --- (Return -> Shift +Tab)
Main 2
This means that anytime I move up or down in the tiers of a list, I need to redefine the formatting for each new bullet. I tried creating my own list styles, but that does not appear to preserve changes made to fonts or sizes. This seems like such a simple function and time saver that I feel like I must be doing something wrong. It has been a while since I used pages, but I don't remember having these problems before. Does pages really require one to reset the formatting everytime the move between list levels?

Thanks Michael!
So your suggestion is to create the pricing in ECC and then download it in CRM...
Now tat would mean that first the mapping has to be performed in ECC for the existing paroducts and product category..then create pricing for those mapped prod. cat. in ECC and then download it to CR M..plz correct me if I am wrong...

CS5 - Text format for classic text error

will now have to re-edit every part.
Clearly you can get around this by other formats but fact is if you have a document that has negative spacing dont open it in CS5 cause you
This may have been in recent update.
Flash now resets them when you open the file to 0, if you notice or not.
when you have negative (-20) set in spacing, usually used when you have margins.
Classic Text Error
Flash CS5

Here's a workaround.
FixTextIndent is a class with static methods that
provides a workaround for the Flash CS5 text formatting
bug. The Flash CS5 IDE will not remember the text
indent setting for either static or dynamic text fields.
We can set the indent in Actionscript for dynamic fields,
so to use this class, convert your fields to dynamic,
then set the left margin.
When you call FixTextIndent methods, they will set
the indent to the negative of the left margin.

Certificate Widget - Text formatting problem

Hello:
(FYI: This question is also posted in the Action Script 3 forum)
I have been modifying the AS3 Certificate Widget that ships with Captivate 4 -- adding backgrounds, re-sizing, etc. However, I don't know how to modify the text format of the variable values when they display. Regardless of what I try, the displayed text seems to be 8pt. Arial. Keeping in mind that I am a complete novice with Action Script, please let me know how you think I might affect the text attributes.
Here is code around line 35:
var y_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
y_fmt.font = "Arial";
y_fmt.size = 30;
y_fmt.bold = true;
y_fmt.align = "left";
It would seem that modifying the assignment for y_fmt.size would have some effect, but it does not. It does, however, change the font size of data in the widget parameters. So, I think my problem is that I don't know how to apply my custom TextFormat class to text that appears in these variables:
v_Name1.visible = true;
v_Course.visible = true;
v_Grade.visible = true;
v_Date.visible = true;
v_Score.visible = true;
I would be happy to provide all the code if that is appropriate (and helpful.)
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
There is a little bit of junk in the current Captivate widgets. The AS3 certificate uses a label component to display the text. The TextFormat you're customizing is for the Widget Parameters in the Widget Dialog. The text is then copied over to the label and displayed on the certificate.
What you have to do is to create a new text format say:
var course_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
course_fmt.font = "Arial";
course_fmt.size = 30;
course_fmt.align ="center";
course_fmt.bold = true;
course_fmt.color = 0xFF0000;
and then assign it to the label such as
v_Course.setStyle("textFormat", course_fmt);
You can then apply the same recipe to the other labels: v_Name1, v_Score, v_Grade and v_Date.
That should do the trick!

Excel date to Numbers text format troubles

I've been sent an Excel .xls document which I'm opening in Numbers '09 (2.1).
The spreadsheet has a date column which I need to be in text format as dd/mm/yyyy. I expected the original Excel document to have the dates already in text format but Numbers says the fields are 'Custom' and shows the dates in US format: 11/04/2011, even although my Mac is set to UK format. No matter, I can set the cells to text format, however that results in the date being shown as 04/11/00002011.
Where did those extra zeros in the year come from!?
How can I reformat the dates to the dd/mm/yyyy format as text?
I've tried a couple of formula to create a new column
=Year(A1)
for example and I think I could recreate the date like that, but the cell must be text format.

SSRS reports in text format

hi
how can i save a report in text format using ssrs 2008 R2

Hi Gourav,
By default, SQL Server Reporting Services render a report to .CSV File Extension with CSV rendering extension. While device information settings for the CSV rendering extension allow us to change its format from .csv to .txt format, we can modify FileExtension
setting in the RSReportserver.config file as below:
Please navigate to RSReportserver.config file: <drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\RSReportserver.config.
Backup the RSReportserver.config file before we modify it, open the RSReportserver.config file with Notepad format.
In the <Render> section, modify the code for the CSV extension like this:
<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
   <OverrideNames>
        <Name Language="en-US">TXT (Pipe Delimited Text File)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
    <Configuration>
        <DeviceInfo>
            <FileExtension>TXT</FileExtension>
        </DeviceInfo>
    </Configuration>
</Extension>
Save the RSReportserver.config file.
For more information about CSV Device Information Settings, please see:
