Paragraph Format for Notes, Tips & Warnings With Graphics

I have been reading Publishing Fundamentals and it says you can create a paragraph format that uses the Frame Above Pgf & Below Pgf and Graphics Frames to create a Paragraph Style for Notes, Tips, Warnings, etc. that includes lines above and below and a graphic to the side.
I am attaching a FrameMaker file that shows what I have been able to accomplish and also shows what I really want. To look at this file, save it and rename, dropping ".text" from the file name.
I am using FrameMaker Version 8.0p277 (the Technical Communications Suite version). My colleagues all have FrameMaker 8 (not the Tech Comm Suite version) and I need to share my template with them.
I appreciate any and all suggestions,
Cheryl

Hi, Cheryl:
Search Google for "siliconprairie autotext" (without quotes) for an inexpensive tool, and "reficons" (without quotes) for a free tool. They both are useful for this kind of thing.

Use two different paragraph formats for one element

Hi,
I think this is really simple, but I don't get it.
I have an element with the name "Step" and I have two paragraph formats for this element. Both for numbering. I use one of these formats to set the numbering back to one, so I can start with number 1 anywhere I want, so I think there is noch real context rule for this case. How do I declare this in my EDD? Is it possible to say my EDD that it is possible to use both.
Thanks.

Dokuteam,
In most cases I have seen context rules using the sibling indicator { first } to handle the start of numbering.
If you want to be able to control restarting of the numbering anywhere, you can add an attribute to the element, like restart = yes | no with "no" being the default value. Then your context rule would use an attribute indicator similar to
If [restart = "yes"]
use PgfFmt1
Else
use PgfFmt2

Using paragraph format for long text...

Hello,
When I try to print the long text using include then
it starts printing from the very first line.
But I want to use some paragraph format for it. How can I use it because I am using
/: INCLUDE '200007200000100' OBJECT AUFK ID KOPF
So where do I mention the paragraph format in the tag column becaue I am already using /: controll command in font of the include ?

Check this thread...
SAPScript - Standard Text
It looks like the PARAGRAPH P2 statement can do that declaration, on the subsequent line.
This website also has some good examples:

Not able to create new paragraph format for copied layout of WESCHEINVERS3

hi all,
Iam facing one of the pecular problem I copied WESCHEINVERS3 into Zlayout from client 000.
when i tried to create new paragraph format I found the create element greyed out I have never seen this issue earlier.
May I know why the menu path paragraph->EDIT->create element is greyed out.
thanks

Hi,
U can create new paragraph formats, windows, character formats etc., only in original language of the FORM.. I guess u were trying to create a new paragraph format in 'EN' but the original language of form 'WESCHEINVERS3' is 'DE', so u can create the new paragaraph format in the copied Z form only in DE language.
Try to open the Z FORM in DE and create the Paragraph format...
Hope it helps!!

TAB in paragraph format for Script

hi,
i am doubt with the tabs for paragraph format in the script. how actually it work? i try to make change on the tab, but some time even i put a larger value, the space in the output will become smaller, can anyone explain to me how the tab actually work?
thanks

Thanks you very much.
but one more question, let say, if i have 3 tabs for an output.
HARLO,,MY,,WORLD,,!
any i configure the tabs as, 20, 30,15 all in CH
so after the "HARLO, it will have 20 CH of spacing, follow by "MY", 30 spacing, and 'MY" 15 spacing, end with "!"?
it this the way it works?
or it works in accumulate way, which include the text display as well?
i found in the forum, say that, it will fix the length of a field( if i display a field), even there is no any value in that field. so how does it work on this?
alot of question very thansk for the temper.

What table stores the SAPscript paragraph formats for a form.

Does anyone know where the paragraph formats are stored for a SAPscript form. I can view them using SE71, but what I am looking for is the table where all this information is stored.
Thanks.
Bill Lomeli

Hi Bill,
Check table "DOKHL" .
ID = 'DE' (Paragraph ID)
LANGU = SY-LANGU
OBJECT = 'TDPARAGRAPH'.
TYP = 'E'.
*------Sample code -
      SELECT SINGLE *
        FROM DOKHL
        WHERE LANGU      = LANGU
        AND   ID         = ID    "Paragraph ID"
        AND   OBJECT     = OBJECT      "value :TDPARAGRAPH"
        AND   TYP        = TYP        'value :E'.

RG1 printing format for A4 size paper with all records

RG1 register print not showing all details (Qty.) through J2i6 and no proper printing format for A4 size.
Is there any std. printing format for RG1 ?
Please give the std. ready format for RG1....
THANKS.

Your subject title mentions A4 sized paper, the body mentions US Letter size.
Assuming you want one half of a letter-size for each page, create the page size as portrait, 5.5" wide, 8.5" tall.
Thread in logical order, page 1 through...how many ever pages. You should have a page count evenly divisible by 4.
Export to PDF as normal...single pages.
Open the PDF in Acrobat or Reader, print the booklet from it.

Best format for pics thats compatable with PE3

I'm scannig in some photos and stuff for a project and wondering what is th best format to save the pictures as. This scanner offers several different formats, jpeg, bitmap, tiff, just to name a few. Alot of the stuff is old newspaper clippings so picture "quality" is not as important as if it were the last photo of Grandma before she past away, but some will be old photos. Also the scanner offers a DPI setting what should this be set at? All help appreciated. Thanks.

For this sort of work, I use TIFF at the highest bit-depth that the scanner, and its software, will allow, plus at the highest resolution. These will be big files, but that is the way that it is.
I then take the images into Photoshop and do the necessary work on the highest rez files that I can get. I do a Save_As to .PSD with all Layers and Adjustment Layers. When done, I drop the bit-depth to 8-bit, resize to the video Frame Size, and Save_As .PSD. TIFF would work too. I am less a fan of JPEG, but others find no problem, and the files are smaller. Here is an ARTICLE on using some automation in PS to resize the images for video.
Good luck with your Project,
Hunt
PS - forgot to mention the resolution. In video, this does not matter, but my Actions in PS for resizing are set to drop it to 72 ppi, but I start with the highest available, whether 1200, or 2400. I do not use any interpolation, so the ppi/dpi will be the highest physical (not software) resolution available.

Photoshop not working properly with graphics card.

When I start PS, it has given me messages about making sure I have up to date graphics card drivers, which I do. If I enable Open Gl drawing in Photoshop it won't open some documents or crashes. If I disable open GL drawing, it opens the documents, but obviously isn't giving me the display performance I need. I have been running this setup for about 6 months, but have only started having problems this week. I am running Photoshop CS4 and an nvidia GTX 295.
Don't appear to be having any catastrophic graphics card problems (touch wood), as I can still run Crysis! Can anybody help me please?

Thanks for your help guys. It works with open gl using the previous driver. The performance still isn't as good now, but workable. It takes a second to zoom and takes a second to go from looking slightly pixellated to looking smooth. There's also a slight lag on input. Guess I just work with it, till nvidia release another driver that works properly. :/

Best format for saving & resizing photo with transparent background

I have some product shots where I cut out the background, so the background is now transparent. What is the best format to save these in to preserve the transparency and also resize the photo in the future? I seem to remember from long ago that Tiffs don't resize easily? but when I saved the shot as Eps I couldn't find a way to preserve the transparency. These are for a client who wants to send these shots to various publications for ads, so I need something they can resize. Thanks for your help!

Transparency is only saved in EPS files with an embedded clipping path. EPS files limit you to 1-bit transparecy, meaning you either show a portion of the image or you don't. This kind of transparency means hard edges around your subject.
If you use PSD,PDF,PDP files, you can offer a soft transition from opaque to transparent in as many as 256 steps. If you have already removed the background in your layered file, then this would be the way to go. The latest releases of QuarkXPress and all releases of InDesign support PSD.

Can I be forgiven for not thanking people with helpful answers?

Can I? I don't participate in many forums and I noticed my last couple of questions have been viewed but with no responses. I have thanked people but never checked "helpful" or "solved".
The answers I have been given in the past have saved me a lot of grief and $.
I pledge to respond accordingly from now on.

I thank taxi drivers when they drop me off. I thank waiters when they fill my wine glass. I'm just a big thanker. 8 out of 10 times I don't get thanks (points) for my helping someone here, but neither do waiters or taxi drivers. That's just the nature of a service-based economy, so you're like almost everyone else in that regard. What sets you apart, apparently, is that you even thought about this.
(I would say that it's highly unlikely that people have avoided answering your questions here because you haven't awarded points in the past. If you were an ingrate or rude, maybe that would be different. More likely, your question wasn't seen by anyone who could answer it. It happens.)

Creating a Paragraph Format

Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
This happens when your program is not actually copied to Current client language. For example English. This is can be solved by following the procedure mentioned.
1. Make sure that the program is copied into your client in the current system language.
2. Open the Script in SE71. Click <b>UTILITIES->CONVERT.ORIG.LANG</b>. Screen will pop up. It displays the orginal language of the script. Change the language to "EN' (assuming EN to be the current language). Now save and try to create the paragraphs.

Undoing Paragraph Formatting

I may just be missing something simple here, but I'm not having any luck undoing (via FlowOperation.undo()) any paragraph formatting. This is using the TLF that comes with Flex SDK 4.0.0.5489.
I'm applying all my FlowOperations via the EditManager, for example using editManager.applyLeafFormat() to apply bold/italic/fonts etc, and calling undo() on these works fine.
However when I use applyFormat/applyFormatToElement() and specify not a leaf format, but a paragraph format (for example when applying a leftMargin to a ParagraphElement), I get a FlowOperationEvent dispatched, and an addition to the UndoManager's stack, but calling undo() has no effect on the TextFlow leaving me with the modified paragraph(s) but no way to undo.
Does anyone know why these Paragraph formatting operations would be one-way only?
I'm also thinking this could be something to do with the SelectionState, it's not very clear how/why you need to specify a SelectionState when calling applyFormatToElement() given you are providing the Element you would like to apply it to. Can anyone describe the role of the SelectionState in this case and perhaps whether this could be affecting the undo?
Just to provide some extra info, I am generally applying my ParagraphFormat-ing via CompositeOperations and I'm using a combination of element.getAbsoluteStart() and element.textLength to get my SelectionState when applying paragraph formats to certain elements that are *not* the current selectionState as defined by the EditManager.

Hi Robin,
Thanks for your help on this... OK in my code I'm not using any direct calls to change the TextFlow so hopefully undo doesn't get disabled, I'm either using:
EditManager.applyXXXXFormat(format...);
...or where I'm modifying several elements, e.g. "align the selected paragraphs"...
EditManager.doOperation(aCompositeOperation);
I'm listening to FLOW_OPERATION_END and storing a reference to the operation that has been performed so that I can later undo it. This is either a format operation or a composite operation depending on what was done. In each case the "generation" increases by 1 after each operation as expected.
I've tried performing the undo via:
1. EditManger.undo();
2. theOperation.undo(); (followed by an updateAllContainers())
For method 1, I see another FLOW_OPERATION_END event, and the "generation" decreases by 1, returning back to what it was as you describe*.
For method 2 I don't see the complete event, and therefore I'm not sure what generation I'm looking at, but*...
*In both methods 1, and 2 I see no visual change after the undo, the alignment never reverts back to before the original operation.
If it helps, here are my traces when applying a VerticalAlign.MIDDLE to the TextFlow via applyFormatToElement():
Generation before: 46
Calling editManager.applyFormatToElement(editManager.textFlow, format);
FLOW_OPERATION_END: event.operation = [object ApplyFormatToElementOperation]
Generation after: 107
EditManager.undoManager.canUndo() = false
FLOW_OPERATION_END: event.operation = [object UndoOperation]
Generation after: 46
EditManager.undoManager.canUndo() = false
I think the most striking thing here is clearly it says there is no undo available in the UndoManager. So somehow something is disabling it, but there's so little code I can't see where that happens.
I'm not totally sure I understand your advice to try the direct manipulation in order to get the undo working, should I do that as well as the EditManager approach, if so, before or after doing it via EditManager?
Thanks again,
Richard

Why does a digital indicator formatted for time & date add 16 hours to the input?

I wire a digital indicator with a double precision value that is supposed to indicate an elapsed time. But the indicator (formatted for time and date, with the date inactive) always adds 16 hours to the wired input.
This problem occurs even in a simple vi I wrote that only consists only of a constant wired to the indicator.
Using LabView 6.0.2

Labview interprets the number passed into an indicator formatted for date & time as seconds since Jan. 1st 1904. I'm assuming that since you're looking for elapsed time this is not what you're passing in. One thing that I've done is get the elapsed time in seconds and write a routine to convert that into whatever format you want.
