Hi Arora
check the window size on teh next page is it diffrenct from first page compare hte two and if it is less than the first page extend it to become equivalent to first page.
paragraph format is just a format to print the text on the page accordingly it should not have any effect on ur display is same in boht the pages.
it should display same at both pages..
check window existance and size as compared to first page it should be same as of first page if not same not less than the first page.

Problem in creating new/changing paragraph format in sapscript

hi,
i am developing new sapscript form
based on standard sapscript : SD_PICK_SINGLE .
The problem is that I neither can't create new paragraph format in se71
for this form nor change an exist paragrapf format .
does anyone encountered such a problem
and can help me solve it ?
ami

Hi,
     You have copied the Standard Sapscript, but i think you have not converted the Original Language "DE", as the standard one will be in "DE", so it is not allowing you to create new paragraph format or any changes.
      Open the copied Zform in DE language, Click on Menu> Utilities> Convert original language,
      Give From = DE
              To    = EN
Save and Open the Same Zform in EN language and do any modification.

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!!

New Pages is double spacing after enter again- can't find the area in inspector that allows you to change paragraph format...help?

New Pages is double spacing after enter again- can't find the area in inspector that allows you to change paragraph format...help?

The "new" Pages is missing just about everything.
Your best best is to go back to the old Pages (mavericks puts in in your applications folder in IWorks.
Apple told me that based on input from users they will add back some missing features back but I suspect that will take a long time if ever.
They (Apple) say they created a new Pages to make it work seamlessly on various devices.
But in doing so they've dumbed down the programs to where they're nearly useless.
Any new users who don't know what "old" Pages could do will probably be satisfied.
But those of us who use this program to do real publishing should send feed back to Apple.
Apple has decided that we are "heavy" users and not representative of the majority of their customers.
That's why I suspect that putting back the features in Pages will not be top priority.
But just in case they really do read the feedback send them your opinions and feature requirements and just maybe if enough people squawk they'll at least put the old Pages back in the App Store (it's gone now).
One possibility crossed my mind. If the new OS Yosemite can mirror devices, perhaps we'll be able to mirror the old pages on to our IOS devices than you could have the full capability of Pages and the connivence of an IPad or IPhone.
Wouldn't that be awesome?
At least in the presentation, it looked like it could work, we'll see.

How to create paragraph format in smartforms

Hi All,
Let me know how to create paragraph format in smartforms?
Thanks&Regards
Mahesh

Hi
When we create a smartform we can see in global settings , form attributes.
In form attributes we set the over all style of the smartform. Goto form attributes and open the tab output options. Here you can see the Style box. In this style box we enter the smartstyle created in transaction code smartstyles.
Open transaction smartstyles.
Create a new style.
Upon creating a new style you will see 3 folder structures under style name.
1. Header data
2. Paragraph format
3. Character format
To create paragraph format right click on the paragraph format node and click Create Node. Give it name. Now you will get a screen with 4 tabs.
Indents and spacing
Fonts
Tabs
Numbering and outline
Here you can provide the look you want.
Now add this smartstyle in your smartform's form attribute.
You can also provide individual smartstyles to each text element you create by giving the name of smartstyle in its output options tab. Each text element has a individual output option tab here you can give any smartstyle.
Click on the general attribute tab of any text element and give the paragraph format directly or by going to SAPScript editor mode.
Any more questions you can ask me directly mailing me.
Please do reward points if satisfied.

For SAPscript INCLUDE TEXT, how to align as Paragraph format

Hi experts and ABAP colleagues!
Need your help on this sapscript problem:
How to align texts taken from "INCLUDE TEXT" in SAPscript, according to tab defined in Paragraph Format?
For example, I defined BG to have tabstop at the 2nd column (or equivalent to 1st tab position) where I need to print the text, and then declared it in SE71 like below:
However the text prints at the leftmost instead of at the 2nd col position - (8th char tab defined in par. format BG). Hence it is not aligned to its proper heading. Line Number instead of Description - which is not okay for client view that needs these Thai texts.
The technical details I included below. Kindly examine:
1.) Window >Main > Text Element > Include Text command
/E   ITEM_TEXT
BG   ,,&TTXIT-TDTEXT&
/:   INCLUDE &T166P-TXNAM& OBJECT &T166P-TDOBJECT& ID &T166P-TDID&
/:   NEW-PARAGRAPH BG
Note: I used command "NEW-PARAGRAPH" and had exactly the above code in se71. Anything missed here? Pls. help. Thanks.
#2.) Paragraph Format > Tab
No. -
Tab Position -
Alignment
1            8,00 CH            LEFT
2            28,00 CH          CENTER
etc.
Note:   and then i put in ",,&TTXIT-TDTEXT&" (see above) with the 2 comma's beforehand to say that its on the 1st tab or at the 8th character where it should be printed, but does not give intended result... pls help.
#3.) Paragraph Formats > Standard Attributes
Left Margin - 0 cm
Alignment - Left
no blank lines checkbox - ticked
Note: Is there any more attribute i can manipulate from here to force display at the right position?
Thank you so much in advance for all your help. Our project team will really appreciate it. May the Lord bless you as we go through our SAP work!
Sincerely,
Celeste

Here's a thought, instead of using tabs, try writing a method that takes a string that is the starting string, a pad character, and a length and returns a string padded to that length with the specified character.
public String padR(String src, String padChar, int len)
    // ... You get to fill in the rest suggestion try to do it without a loop
}Have fun,
PS.

Paragraph Format being lost

Hi there
I'm working on an FAPI client to translate text in Frame Documents. One of the first things we do is store the formatting for each paragraph,
and then write it back out to the translated document.
However, in one document I'm working on, when my client attempts to get a handle
for one particular paragraph format, it gets a null a handle instead and that formatting is not applied. Instead, formatting from the previous paragraph (namely an obnoxious green font colour!) is being applied.
In order to set the translated text into the document, we delete the content that was originally there. Could that have a role to play?
I notice that before and after translation, the paragraph format in question is not contained in the paragraph format catalogue.
When I click on the paragraph which has this formatting applied to it, it has an asterisk before the name. Is this significant?
Any answers would be appreciated
Thanks
Eric

Eric,
I think the answer you are looking for is yes, there can be "formats" in the document that are not in the catalog. However, they aren't really formats at all, because if they were, they would be in the catalog. From an API perspective, all they are is a string property assigned to a paragraph.
With the FDK, format usage can be confusing. You might think that you can just set the FP_Name property for an FO_Pgf object to apply a format, but that is really nothing more than a string that is used for reference later, either by you (the programmer) or the interface (the GUI). To apply a format, you have to find the format object (FO_PgfFmt) itself, capture its settings, then apply them to the FO_Pgf (I gather you know this already). It's important to remember, though, that you aren't really creating any kind of link between the format object and the paragraph; rather, you are just transfering the settings from one to another. Incidentally, both types of objects have an FP_Name property, so when you transfer the properties from the format to the pgf, that name gets transferred as well. This presents the illusion that there is some intrinsic link between the two afterwards, but it really was nothing but a string property transfer.
The problem you are having is that this FP_Name property was somehow set with a value that doesn't reflect an actual format in the catalog. This could have been done with the FDK, of course, but there are a number of ways to do it in the interface as well. One of the simplest ways is to open the paragraph designer, "create" a new format, but deselect the option to add it to the catalog. The paragraph will then maintain the assignment of this "format," but it doesn't really exist. It's just the FP_Name property amidst the zillions of other paragraph-related properties.
Others have suggested that format overrides might be the cause, but I don't think that is quite applicable in your case. You should still be able to retrieve an FO_PgfFmt object by name, if it existed. Your problem is that the format doesn't exist. Note that in the interface, both a non-existent format and an paragraph with format overrides will show with an asterisk in the toolbar, adding to the possible confusion here.
Solution? I think you'll need to clean up your docs You can do this with the FDK by seeking out any paragraph with an imaginary formats, then creating a new FO_PgfFmt object with the respective properties. Or, better yet, do it once manually and be done with it.

Smartforn Std text Paragraph format not getting picked up

Hi,
 I have to include Standard texts from SO10 in my smart forms. I am using Incude Text option. The issue is that my std texts are dynamic ( I pass std text name in the form ) and hence it has many paragraph formats. When I run my form I get the result in default para format. If i create a para format in my style then it takes that in output but the issue is that the std texts are dynamica and can have many para formats. I cannot define all the para formats in my smartstyle and If i dont define in my style is does not pick the para format from std text. It works in script but not in smartforms. Pls help
Thanks

Script to add markers to text by paragraph format

With previous versions of Framemaker, I had a FrameScript which would loop through my document and add a marker to text based on the paragraph format applied. The marker text would be the selected paragraph.
I am now trying to recreate this in Extendscript for use in Framemaker 10 and am completely stumped.
I have no doubt that my script (copied below) is completely off-track, but I wondered if anybody would be able to help point me in the direction of my many mistakes.
Basically, I want the script to find all paragraphs with the "*Part no." format applied, make that text the text range and then apply a marker to that range. A bit of research has shown that I probably need to create a list of paragraph formats, but I believe that I have far more problems than just that.
var pgfFmt1 = flow.GetNamedPgfFmt (*Part no.);
while (pgfFmt1.ObjectValid())
    function createMarker (doc, pgf, offset, type, text)    {
        var tRange, marker;
        tRange = pgfFmt1.TextRange;
        marker = doc.NewAnchoredObject(Constants.FO_Marker, tRange);
        marker.MarkerType = type;
        marker.MarkerText = text;
        return 1;
createMarker (doc, pgf, 0, "Index", 0);
Many thanks in advance to anyone who is able to offer me some pointers!

Well, it seems that my script is only 95% there. While my script finds the target paragraphs and adds a marker, only the first word of each paragraph is selected as the marker text. I really need the script to select the whole paragraph as the marker text. I have tried many combinations, but cannot seem to get the right outcome. Could anybody please point me in the right direction? Script is copied below. Many thanks!
var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
var flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc;
var tframe = flow.FirstTextFrameInFlow;
var pgf = tframe.FirstPgf;
var target1 = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_PgfFmt, "*Part no.");
var target2 = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_PgfFmt, "*Parent Bold");
var target3 = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_PgfFmt, "*Child");
var target4 = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_PgfFmt, "*Child indent");
var target5 = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_PgfFmt, "*Child indent 2");
while (pgf.ObjectValid())   {
if (pgf.Name == target1.Name)   {
    createMarker (doc, pgf, 0, "Index", "");
else if (pgf.Name == target2.Name) {
    createMarker (doc, pgf, 0, "Subject", "");
else if (pgf.Name == target3.Name) {
    createMarker (doc, pgf, 0, "Subject", "");
else if (pgf.Name == target4.Name) {
    createMarker (doc, pgf, 0, "Subject", "");
else if (pgf.Name == target5.Name) {
    createMarker (doc, pgf, 0, "Subject", "");
pgf = pgf.NextPgfInDoc;
function createMarker(doc, pgf, offset, type, text) {
    var tLoc = new TextLoc(pgf, offset);
    var marker = doc.NewAnchoredObject(Constants.FO_Marker, tLoc);
    var markerType = doc.GetNamedObject(Constants.FO_MarkerType, type);
    marker.MarkerTypeId = markerType;
    marker.MarkerText = text;
    return 1;

How to set paragraph format in Pages?

I'm a novelist. I have had trouble setting and maintaining a paragraph format in Pages. I've manually created a format then copied and pasted that format, but it doesn't maintain the indentations and spacing I want.
I've completely left Word, although it's quite easy to set paragraph format and indentation there.
I want to write my new novel exclusively in Pages. Can anyone help?
Tom

See Chapter 6 of the Pages User Guide PDF. You can download it from the Help menu.
Once you have mastered Styles, you should be on top of this problem. You may have some specific questions on formatting along the way, and there are lots of experts here to help you.

Smartforms - Paragraph format keeps resetting itself

Hi,
I've set the styles sheet to be one of own on the smartform but when I go into a text element, highlight the text (in new word-style editor) and select the paragraph setting (I see the text change to the new font, size etc), press save and then look again at the text element, the setting has reverted to the *Default Paragraph.
I've tried setting the style sheet directly on the text element but it doesn't work. I've also tried changing the editor to be the old sapscript one so I can enter the 2 digit paragraph format in myself but I get the message "Style xxxx not available" where xxx if the name of my style sheet.
Any ideas?
Gill

Hi,
Mention the style name in the Form Attributes in the top in its Output Options.
Then delete the text node and create again.

Ram

How do I un-clutter list of hundreds of paragraph formats

When I pull down the menu of paragraph formats I see a HUGE number of them scrolling down beyond my screen. God forbid I should ever have to choose one that begins with a letter late in the alphabet. Help files mention a catalog window but I have looked everywhere for this mythical thing and can't find it. If I do find this catalog, can I delete all the tags I don't need for this one document without losing them permanently for all documents? Can I set preferences to have new documents list just a few of my favorites without dealing with this enormous cumbersome list every time?
Using FM 9.0.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, Paul:
Paragraph, character, and table format definitions are stored in each file.
To delete formats from the paragraph or character format catalog, open the catalog with Format > Paragraphs > Catalog, or Format > Characters > Catalog, click Delete** to open the deletion dialog box, select a format by clicking a visible format name, by navigating through the list with arrow keys, or by typing the initial letter of a format's name. Repeatedly typing the same initial moves through the formats that begin with that letter. Click Delete to "nominate" the selected format for deletion. You can't select multiple formats in the list by Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click. Click Done to perform the actual deletion, or Cancel if you change your mind.
An alternate way to open the format deletion dialog box is by clicking the Delete option that appears by clicking the Commands button in the Paragraph, Character, and Table designers.
To assure that you don't lose formats you may want to use at another time, save a copy of the file with a descriptive name, such as "AllFormatsInTheKnownUniverse.fm." You can delete all the content to unclutter the file, without losing the formats. You can import formats from one file to another, or from one file to multiple files in a book. Search Google for "framemaker import formats" without quotes for information at Adobe forums, in FrameMaker Help, and from other sources.
**Note that pressing Delete to open the deletion dialog box does not delete the format that's selected in the catalog.
One way to eliminate all the unused formats from a catalog is to use File > Utilities > Create and Apply Formats. BEWARE: it's dangerous; read up on it in Help, and save a copy of your file before using. You'll find unfamiliar format names in the catalog this creates, such as Mapping Table Title and some others; they're from items on Master and Reference Pages.
Better and safer than Create and Apply Formats are the excellent inexpensive tools for maintaining paragraph and character format catalogs from siliconprairiesoftware.com.
The table format catalog is only visible in the Table Designer (Table > Table Designer.)

Changes to paragraph formats aren't affecting anything at all

Hello:
The recent post by Dennis ("phiguru"?) touched on my problem, but mine is simpler.
I foolishly changed an entire topic's text to red to remind myself that wholesale content revisions are needed, and that the old "boilerplate" is not for publication. (I was in a hurry and have since remembered Conditional tags, of course. Duh.)
Now, I am trying to restore the affected paragraph formats back to their original font colors. (Fortunately, my dopey first color change seems not to have affected the same paragraph formats in other topics.)
These images looked terrible when I first posted this a moment ago, thank goodness clicking on them opens a larger, clearer version!
Using the pencil-icon Edit tool in the Styles and Formatting pod, I'm simply trying to change the color of the font. Seems pretty straightforward, but just in case:
The line "Tiled Texture Mapping..." is one of the Heading 3 culprits that refuses to change. I change the color to Black, turn on Underlining, hit OK and, get Nothing.
I don't expect anything really 20th-century to happen, like the change being applied universally, but when typing on a new blank line that has been designated Heading 3, the new text is still red.
Going to an existing reddened Heading 3 line, and re-selecting the desired style from the Apply Style dropdown at top left only gets me that same maddening business cited by Dennis:
Do you want to:
1. Update the shyle to reflect recent changes?
2. Reapply the formatting of the style to the selection?
Any advice, anyone? I know I'm probably missing something obvious, but it continues to escape me, and time, life and my work queue are marching ever-forward.
Thanks.

Hi, Rick:
I seem to have gotten it finally by changing the color in the Styles dialog, Format button (at lower left) > Font dropdown selection, instead of relying on the formatting controls right under the Paragraph Preview in the Styles dialog. I don’t know why RH takes the former more seriously than the latter.
Then, clicking “Reapply the formatting of the style to the selection?” in the Update/Reapply Style dialog instead of “Update the style to reflect recent changes?” seemed to really nail it down.
Now mind you, I’m not a complete bonehead. I did originally think that “recent changes” referred specifically to changes made wholesale, on the fly and with insufficient forethought, as with my ill-considered changing of all the text to red as a mnemonic device.
But then when I was trying to change things back “the right way”, I started to think that “recent changes” referred to recent ‘proper’ changes in the Styles and Formatting facility, especially since “Reapply the formatting of the style to the selection?” initially seemed so useless.
I did glance at ‘Remove Attribute’ but when it didn’t seem to hold the promise of immediate complete self-actualization and instantaneous transport to a land of dancing unicorns, infinite free energy and no starvation, I lost interest and moved on in my search for fixes.
I think I’ll try your suggestion first next time.
Thanks.

Strange Paragraph Formatting

I have a website on MyFamily.com, which is lots of fun. Whenever I post a note there,
the paragraph
formatting gets weird. I think it doesn't wrap properly. The end of a line of text will go onto
the next line
with only a few words, then a new line of text begins on the third line. Thus I get
something like I
have created in this post, except that I don't deliberately create it like I am doing now.
None of my correspondents have this problem, but I am the only one who works on a Mac. If anyone can help me solve this issue I would be most grateful.

I have never used the website you are using. How do you post your paragraph? Do you type into a box in a web browser? Do you write it in a separate program and then copy and paste? do they provide an application for your computer that acts as the interface?
If you are typing into a box they provide you should make sure you don't end a line with a "return", just let it wrap on its own. You could also try a different browser since maybe the browser is adding something at the end of the lines. Most web sites are going to be designed with the PC/Windows user in mind, and I believe those computers use a different end of line sequence (which is invisible to you normally) than Macs.
