Possible to control space after periods and commas?

There's a font i'd like to use as a body text font, but sometimes the spaces after periods and commas are inadequate. Is there a way to control this in InDesign? or must this be resolved by manipulating the font in a font editor?
thanks
Kurt Hoffman

but sometimes the spaces after periods and commas are inadequate...
I'm not sure either solution will really work well with justified text.
When you say sometimes, it sounds like your text is justified and the space after periods is variable. Peter's GREP solutions would track the space after a period but the amount would still be variable when the text is justified. So you could also look at the Justification setting for the style:
The default Justification setting which allows a significant difference between min and max word spacing, and no difference in letter spacing:
Changing the Word Spacing to 90% | 100% | 120% and the letter spacing to -2% | 0% | 2% creates a more consistent space after the periods.

In insert: Space after period and before carriage return is being ignored

I am using Oracle 11.2.0.2.
let say I create table temp(a varchar2(20);
insert into temp values ('value.
valuue2');
I have put space after 'value. ' but it is being ignore when I run it from linux host in sqlplus.
The space seems to be preserved when I insert it from TOAD/Windows xp.
Any idea what might be causing it.

hI,
I have the same result in SQLPLUS.
I would not rely on code with strings spread over multiple lines you should use the below code to add newlines:
insert into temp values ('Yes.Space. ' || chr(10) || 'x');This makes it very clear there is and a space and a newline.
This is much easier to maintain as well.
Just to compair the two, see below:
select
LEVEL
,substr(a ,level,1)
,ASCII( substr(a ,level,1) )
from
SELECT
'YES.Space.
x' A

DUAL
connect by --NOCYCLE

Why does the iPhone Keyboard have a reversed period and comma from the normal keyboard?

JClient: after INSERT and COMMIT does not show the primary textfield value

1. In my JClient master-detail form: When I insert a new record, enter data, and commit the changes... the master-panel's primarykey textfield is BLANK, when it should show the new auto-incremented number from the MySQL database. I have to close and open the form again to refresh that field again.
2. In order to properly save new records in the detail-panel, I have to insert and save the above master-panel first. Is this the way JCLient handle master-detail forms?
Thanks.

Hi. Thanks for sharing your advice.
Re my problem,
if we have to refresh data by requery,i suggest you should use the way below:
private JUNavigationBar navBar = new JUNavigationBar(true,false,true,false,true);
navBar.setModel(JUNavigationBar.createPanelBinding(panelBinding, navBar));
// after insert ,call this method
navBar.doAction(navBar.BUTTON_EXECUTE);Tried this out but my textfield still won't get refreshed. Here is the code I came up with:
    private JUNavigationBar navBar = new JUNavigationBar() {
            public void doAction(int button) {
                if (button == JUNavigationBar.BUTTON_INSERT) {
                    super.doAction(button);
                    navBar.doAction(navBar.BUTTON_EXECUTE);
                    return;
                super.doAction(button);
        };Re your problem,
I am developing application with JDev + MySQL,encounted another problem,
how can i get the primary key supported by auto_increment column after insert?
i constructed a vo whose sql statement is
select last_insert_id() as last_id to get the value of auto_increment column.
i found it can't get the right value unless commit the transaction.
Would u please tell me your way?Based on what I experienced, we dont have to do the SELECT statement above. MySQL does auto-increment the primarykey but the JClient form just cant show it immediately, unless we close and re-open the form.
What did I do to refresh the primarykey during insert? Please note that I got this solution accidentally coz I'm still a newbie in Java.
A user want to add a record:
1. He presses the Insert button.
2. He enters data into a component (ex. textfield)
3. The component's action-performed event is fired, and the following code is run:
        DCJboDataControl dc = (DCJboDataControl)panelBinding.getDataControl();
        ApplicationModule am = dc.getApplicationModule();
        Transaction tr = am.getTransaction();
        dc.commitTransaction();
        ViewObject vo = am.findViewObject("TblaccountsView1");
        vo.executeQuery();
        vo.last();It simply commits the transaction, goes to last (new) transaction, and lets the user continue his data encoding.
Hope it helps and I hope theres an even better way to do this.

Control space after the Drop Cap

ID3, XP
We character style drop caps. When the DC is a single character, we use the tracking in the character style to add space to the right of the dropped character. However, this method cannot be used when it is a two character drop, in this case, chapter numbers are dropped 2 lines. We want to adjust the space between the dropped number and the start of text, and keep that space equal on both lines.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The first issue is still that humbled wasn't able to add space after the drop caps and maintain alignment of the text. Bottom line is that his method of using character spacing was a bad hack. I'm pointing out that the alternative solutions he tried (ex. post #4) didn't work because he wasn't using the correct value for the number of drop characters. And per his post #21, he is still assuming that 2 is the correct value to define a double digit drop cap. If he gets past that, solutions to other complications may come easier. In fact, unless he needs some specific sized space HIS WHOLE PROBLEM FROM START TO FINISH could be solved simply by selecting 3 as the number of characters for his drop caps rather than sticking with 2. That would have the effect of including the space after the chapter numbers as part of the drop cap making it larger and adding considerably more space. If he does need more space, then he is going to have to add another character. But that character still has to be included in the DC character count: 12<space>Text (3 drop caps) 12<hardspace>Text (3 drop caps) 12<space><hardspace>Text (4 drop caps) He can even use a tab character for a specific indent if he wants. Just switch a tab for the hardspace above. P.S. The same logic holds true for in single drop caps. If you want extra space after, increase the drop cap count to 2 to include the space after.

Customer Credit control limit options Period and Value

Hi All,
Can any body suggest or help regarding my requirement.
I know the standard credit management process which is based on the credit limit Value which will be maintained in the FD32.
But My requirement is
-->Credit limit based on the period
-->Credit limit based on the value.
-->Credit limit based on the period and value.
1.If I activate credit limit based on the period,customer order should be blocked when the customer exceeds 15 days credit limit- is there any standard option on this
2.If I activate Credit limit based on the value,customer order should be blocked when the customer exceeds credit limit value which is maintained in FD32.
3.If I activate Credit limit based on the period and value,customer order should be blocked when the customer exceeds credit limit period and value.
Is this possible in the standard credit management !
or this is possible only through workaround
Provide me the document if available
Regards,
Murali.

Hi all,
In addition to previous requirement.
We also need to take consideration under scenario also.
For example
One customer taken the goods from 1st to 15th, actually he has to pay the credit amount on or before 30th if he is not able to pay on 30th system should block the further sales orders(i.e. from next month 1st onwards).
is this option available in he standard !
Can any body help on this ASAP.
Regards,
Murali.

Great shortcut for periods and commas!

Apologies if this is has been posted previously, but found it so useful think it warrants repeating!
Basically, you can type a period with ease if you simply press the ‘.?123’ key, then keep your finger on the screen and just slide it up and over a bit to the period when the numeric keypad appears. Amazingly, this key reacts as soon as your finger touches it (no lifting required), and the numeric keypad will automatically disappear when it does, leaving you right back where you started with the normal keyboard active—and with a period in your document! And instead of multiple taps, it took but one.
It works for the comma as well, you just change the angle of the "slide".
Original post is here: http://missingmanuals.com/poguesawesome_iphone_typingshortcut.csp
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This tip is really, really great.
Apple should document this... With this, there's no need for any changes to the keyboard layout...
This little slide move works fast and perfectly every time... (And works for any of the NON ABC keys too)

Is it possible to restore Gamecenter after update and restore?? After update, tried logging into Gamecenter and it says that the user name is already taken. Yeah, I know..... by me!!!

One of my kids ipods needed an update. It wouldn't let me do it via the itouch (like the other 2 itouches did). I had to connect to the PC, sync, update and then restore. Once I did, the apps could be downloaded again via icloud (which wasn't on the itouch before) but progress on games that were through Gamecenter did not transfer. Tried logging into Gamecenter and it states the user name is already taken. Yeah, I know it's already taken, BY MY DAUGHTER!!! Apparently she has a dragon game app that she manages through Gamecenter that she has worked her way to level 22 and now it is all gone. It wants her to restart from level 1. I know this isn't life or death and not like losing work data etc. But to a 9 year old who has spent $40 of her own money on gems, coins etc....... this is the end of the world. LOL. I do want to try to help her, I just don't know how.

Thank you. After posting I started to search for Backflip studios and found this support id. I had meanwhile created a new nickname, very similar to the original one, and requested that they swap the advanced world to the new id. I sent this last Saturday evening. This morning (so effectively on their first workday after my request!) I received a kind response from Rachael that they had swapped the parks. Like your daughter my son couldn't believe his eyes. Thank you for your post, original and reply, I hope others will find it too and that Rachael can keep up such excellent support. It means a lot...

To_number with period and comma

As a part of a validation function I have to validate strings against a valid number format. The following weird behaviour I have spot during the implementation.
SQL> select TO_NUMBER('1.1.1.1,11','9G999D99') from dual;
TO_NUMBER('1.1.1.1,11','9G999D99')
1111,11
SQL> select TO_NUMBER('1.1.11,11','9G999D99') from dual;
TO_NUMBER('1.1.11,11','9G999D99')
1111,11
SQL> select TO_NUMBER('1.111,11','9G999D99') from dual;
TO_NUMBER('1.111,11','9G999D99')
1111,11
SQL> select TO_NUMBER('1111,11','9G999D99') from dual;
select TO_NUMBER('1111,11','9G999D99') from dual
FEHLER in Zeile 1:
ORA-01722: Ungltige Zahl
'1.111,11' should be valid only. Is it a bug or my misconception?
These statements ran on Release 11.1.0.6.0.

Sorry, I've I forgot to mention that my nls_numeric_characters parameter is set to ',.' already.
SQL> select VALUE from NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS where PARAMETER='NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS';
VALUE
Anyway, with the nls_numeric_character parameter passed to the function these statements did not produce any error.
SQL> select TO_NUMBER('1.1.1.1,11','9G999D99','nls_numeric_characters=,.') from dual;
TO_NUMBER('1.1.1.1,11','9G999D99','NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=,.')
1111,11
SQL> select TO_NUMBER('1.1.11,11','9G999D99','nls_numeric_characters=,.') from dual;
TO_NUMBER('1.1.11,11','9G999D99','NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=,.')
1111,11
I except an error to be thrown. Obviously both numbers '1.1.1.1,11' and '1.1.11,11' did not match the mask '9G999D99'.

Enhanced dictation no spaces after punctuation

I just downloaded enhanced dictation (Jan 23 2015). I have Yosemite, macbook air. It does mostly ok, but there are no spaces after periods or commas! Pretty basic... I'm really frustrated. Anyone else have this problem?

If you haven't already done so, please log out or restart the computer and see whether there's an improvement.

Space after Paragraph: How much picas equal a blank line in Garamond Regular 7.5?

I'm using Indesign CC and would like to add a blank line after every paragraph in my document. I found out how to do that, but the only unit I'm offered is picas. I could probably switch to inches, but that doesn't really help me. My main text is written in Garamond Regular font size 7.5 and I would like to have blank space after each paragraph equal to a blank line written in that font with that size. How do if find out much large a blank line with those font settings is? I guessed and it seems to be equal to 0p7, but it would be great if I could do that without guessing blindly. I'm glad for any help.

I am not sure to understand. Garamond (or any other typeface) 7.5 equals to… 7.5 pts. But the size of a typeface is measured from ascender to descender, so it does not give you an accurate idea of the real height of the line. But leading is measured from baseline to baseline and this corresponds to the measure you are looking for. Once again, you need to know the leading value and you have to enter this value for the space after.
And 1 pica is equal to 12 pts.

Getting blank space after paragraph in RTF template

Hi there,
Thanks so much for all your help for your help.
I am running into one issue in RTF template, wanted to share with you to get any input on this. I have paragraph and Idid put in table at the top and there is xml tag that gives names after that paragraph. but I get blank spaces after paragraph and it shows names from that xml tag.
I tried to remove spaces by deleting between pargraph and xml tag<name> , still i get blank page between paragraph text and names.
Can anyone help me or point me to get it resolved that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Varma for your prompt response and your time on this. I am still trying to get any other options to get this done as that is the requirement and with that blank page looks not fully satisfied for users and am trying any other ways to do implement this..
That's the reason I thought of putting this post again to get more inputs that may have.
Can anyone put some light onthis.
Thanks a lot..

NB520, NB550D - how to control volume at Sleep and Music state?

I'm looking for a possibility to control volume at Sleep and Music state...
The only fact I've noticed is that volume depends on the level set when the computer was working. But how can I change it at Sleep and Music state when the comp is swich off?

Hi TomPL,
I have checked the user manual and found the following information:
The volume adjustment and mute setting might be different between Windows mode and Sleep and Music mode. Before connecting the audio device to the computer, turn down the volume of the audio device. Sound quality may also be different.
So according this information you have to set the volume in Windows but it could be a little bit different. I found no information about changing the volume in sleep and music mode.

Aperture 3 Hanging after upgrade and possible solution

In advance, sorry for the long post:
As many have reported already, I was also a user of Aperture staring at the beachball and finding my computer hanging completely up to the point I was ready to give it flight lessons for free. I might have done this to my MacBook Pro if I was not leaving for an overland trip to Capetown from the Netherlands in a Toyota Land Cruiser in 2 days. If you want to read about the trip: www.africaminded.com.
How did I solve the issue in my case? I hope it helps some of you.
*My aperture setup*
Before you go through all the steps below let me explain how my Aperture workflow was set up:
1. Projects in Aperture correspond to folders on my harddrives. The project folders in Aperture contain reference files to the fils on my harddrives. The folders on my harddrives have the same name as the projects in Aperture. Using the same name does not really matter much, except I find it easier to find images from aperture back on my harddrive without having to use aperture to find the images.
2. I do not have the images imported into an Aperture library because this alllows me to access the images with other applications than Aperture (Photoshop etc).
Preparations:
*Actions I took before I started with a clean Aperture:*
1. Launch Aperture with holding the shift key. This defers Aperture from processing images in the library. Tip from Apple website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
2. Show Keywords HUD and export the keyword list in a separate file onto the desktop
3. Create folder on desktop called "Exported Projects"
4. Drag project by project to the just created folder. Yes this is a painstaking long process and one I would have liked avoided but I did not find any other solution and needed one. Luckily I only had 44 projects to go through.
5. Close Aperture
6. Delete the user preferences
1. Quit Aperture if still running.
2. In the Finder go to ~/Library/Preferences. (The tilde "~" represents your Home folder).
3. Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
7. Move the user created presets, keyword lists, and so on...
1. Quit Aperture.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture.
3. Move the contents of this folder to your Desktop
8. Delete your old Aperture Library or move it to another harddrive. If possible do not empty the bin of your computer (just in case you need the library again - I did not after following all steps below).
9. Reinstall Aperture; Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs nearby before starting this.
1. Open the Applications folder.
2. Drag the Aperture application to the Trash.
3. Insert your Aperture installation disc and install Aperture.
4. When finished, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu to update your software to the latest version.
*Now your computer has a clean install of Aperture*
1. Launch Aperture
2. Show Keywords HUD and import the keyword list that you saved in a separate file on the desktop
3. Move the following files back into ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture:
1. Adjustment Chain Presets.plist
2. FileNamingPresets.plist
3. Metadata Presets.plist
4. MetadataSets.plist
4. Close Aperture and go to
Following the steps below allows you to keep all you metadata and rating as well. It is possible in Aperture 3 to read and import sidecar files containing metadata but this will not include the rating! So if you want to keep your metadata and your ratings, follow the steps below:
(*A) Importing Project*s
1. Launch aperture
2. File > Import >Library / Project
3. After selecting the exported project you want to import, confirm you want to merge the project
4. Which library should be used when a conflict is detected? Choose current library (and not the library/project you are importing).
5. Let Aperture take its time to merge the projects (depending on the size of the project you import this can take longer and you might see the famous beach ball for a few seconds). In the beginning it will look like Aperture does nothing or hangs again.
6. After merging the libraries are completed Close Aperture.
7. Launch Aperture and immediately select Window > Show Activity from the menu. Let Aperture process new previews (this should start automatically after opening Aperture). Show activity will give you an idea how far Aperture is when processing the images so you don't have to stress and stare at the spinning wheel in the bottom left corner.
8. After the processing has finished Close Aperture again to save the new previews and share them with iLife and iWork.
9. Repeat the above until you have imported all your projects. Remember to keep repeating step 6 to 9. This allows you to find out which project contains corrupted images or is corrupt and to deal with it separately. Importing all projects at the same time and then processing all pictures at the same time does not give you the opportunity to figure out how to get rid of the beachball!
*(B) What to do when images are corrupted in a project?*
In case you imported a project that was corrupted or contains corrupted images that causes Aperture to hang completely and slow down your computer to a complete halt:
1. Force quit aperture
2. Reopen aperture and immediately press the shift key after launching the program. Pressing the shift key stops Aperture from rendering/processing the images you imported from the "corrupted project".
3. Select the last imported projected (the one that contains 1 or several corrupted images and gave you the beachball again).
4. Delete the project and empty the trash in Aperture as well. Do not delete the master files associated with you referenced images.
5. Move the corrupted project into a folder called "Corrupted projects". Do not throw the corrupted project away - we will deal with this one later. Just make sure they are not part of the main library you are building.
6. Quit and launch aperture. Aperture should not be processing any images anymore as you already completed that with step 8 above.
7. Complete the importing of your projects following the exact steps above, skipping the corrupted project.
Ps. In my case I found 1 project with corrupted images.
*(C) What do you do with the corrupted projects?*
1. Make sure that Aperture is not yet running.
2. Double click the corrupted project and press the shift key to defer the processing of images. This will launch aperture and treat the project as an individual library.
3. Select all thumbnails and export masters to a new folder and select "Create IPTC4XMP Sidecar File" in the pulldown list where it says "Metadata" in the export window. You should now have all master images of this corrupted project and the sidecar files containing the metadata of these images in the same folder.
4. Quit Aperture
5. Press the Alt-Key/Option-Key and Launch Aperture. Aperture should now ask you which library you want to open. Select your Main Library that contains all the projects you imported following step 1-9 above.
6. Create a new project for the images you are going to import from step 3 of section C.
7. Import the images and move them to where you want them to have. Aperture should import the non-corrupted images including their metadata (as the sidecar file of these images is in the same folder as the images). All you have lost in this case is the rating and possibly the adjustment of these images. The IPTC data will be imported by Aperture in step 9 Section C. You could survive having to redo the rating manually. Redoing the adjustments is a bit of more work, sorry.
8. Quit Aperture.
9. Launch Aperture with pressing the alt-key or option-key and select your main library as in step 5 and select "Show Activity" from the menu. You are now back into step 7 of section A. Complete step7, step 8 and 9 of section A.
*D. Congrats*
1. When all projects have imported correctly delete the projects from your harddrive to gain space.
2. Delete the temporary Aperture library created in section C step 2.
3. Re-install plug ins that you might have moved in the preparation phase (if possible 64-bit versions if available)
Congrats. You now have a completely new and well functioning new Aperture 3 library that offers you all the new features and is very fast I should say. My machine: MacBook Pro 2.93GHz with 4GB Ram.
After you think you can trust Aperture again empty your bin to gain space on your computer.
How long did this take me? All in all about 3 days but not full time luckily. How many real corrupted images? None - something else in the project data was messing everything up.

WOW!
I'm REALLY impressed by your exhaustive and detailled description!
How long did it take to write? Sure longer than the import itself...
Thank you so much. I got a working import of Ap2 lib before but your description have me various hints for handling problematic or faulty projects.

How do I control a data log session with period and sample time?

I need a data logging system where the operator can select 2 logging parameters: Log Period and Sample Time. I also need a START and STOP button to control the logging session. For example, set the log period for 1 hour and the sampling time for 1 second. (I may be using the wrong jargon here.) In this case when the START button is clicked, the system starts logging for 1 second. An hour later, it logs data for another second, and so on until the operator clicks the STOP button. (I will also include a time limit so the logging session will automatically stop after a certain amount of time has elapsed.)
It’s important that when the STOP button is clicked, that the system promptly stops logging. I cannot have the operator wait for up to an hour.
Note that a logging session could last for several days. The application here involves a ship towing a barge at sea where they want to monitor and data log tow line tension. While the system is logging, I need the graph X-axis (autoscaled) to show the date and time. (I’m having trouble getting the graph to show the correct date and time.) For this application, I also need the system to promptly start data logging at a continuous high rate during alarm conditions.
Of course I need to archive the data and retrieve it later for analysis. I think this part I can handle.
Please make a recommendation for program control and provide sample code if you can. It’s the program control concepts that I think I mostly need help here. I also wish to use the Strip Chart Update Mode so the operator can easily view the entire logging session.
DAQ Hardware: Not Selected Yet
LabVIEW Version: 6.1 (Feel free to recommend a v7 solution because I need to soon get it anyway.)
Operating System: Win 2000
In summary:
How do I control a graphing (data log) session for both period and sample time?
How do I stop the session without having to wait for the period to end?
How do I automatically interrupt and control a session during alarm conditions?
Does it make a difference if there is more than one graph (or chart) involved where there are variable sample rates?
Thanks,
Dave

Hello Dave,
Sounds like you have quite the system to set up here. It doesn�t look like you are doing anything terribly complicated. You should be able to modify different examples for the different parts of your application. Examples are always the best place to start.
For analog input, the �Cont Acq&Chart (buffered).vi� example is a great place to start. You can set the scan rate (scans/second) and how many different input channels you want to acquire. This example has its own stop button; it should be a simple matter to add a manual start button. To manually set how long the application runs, you could add a 100 ms delay to each iteration of the while loop (recommended anyway to allow processor to multi-task) and add a control that sets the number
of iterations of the while loop.
For logging data, a great example is the �Cont Acq to File (binary).vi� example.
For different sample rate for different input lines, you could use two parallel loops both running the first example mentioned above. The data would not be able to be displayed on the same graph, however.
If you have more specific questions about any of the different parts of your application, let me know and I�ll b happy to look further into it.
Have a nice day!
