Problem with text formatting on upload

Hi there,
I am new to iWeb and coming from a design background where I'm used to being able to format text leading and character spacing in programs like inDesign.
I have found where to do this in iWeb so that my text is not all bunched up and close together, giving the layout some breathing space, but when I publish the site and view it online this formatting doesn't work and the text goes back to its old bunched up look.
Does anyone have a tip on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Thanks Tom,
The URL is www.yachtprojects.eu and I am having all sorts of problems with the site now. I am based in France, using Orange as my ISP and I cannot access the site from either my home computer or my iPhone (which is also on Orange). It takes AGES to load and then finally comes up with the text but no images.
Other people however can see the site, and when I was in Ireland last week, I could see it, but it had some worse problems with the fonts not fitting the layout than I was describing before. I have no idea why this has happened or how to fix it and I'm currently looking at moving the site to a different server to see if that makes a difference. The current server people claim that they can see the site OK so they have no interest in helping me solve the problem.
With regard to viewing the site on other browsers, I have tried Safari, Firefox and Explorer and none can view the site properly from my home Mac. Other people everywhere else seem to be able to see the site, but I don't know if the text looks the way it should or not and I suspect the line spacing problem is still there.
The best representation of the site with just the initial problem of line spacing but all other things OK is if you look at it on my mobile me server: http://web.me.com/alisononline/yachtprojects/Home.html this is the way the site was meant to look, but just with the line spacing not as spread out as it should be.
It would be wonderful if you could help shed some light on these problems for me!
Thanks
Alison

Problem with text formatting

I am new to RoboHelp and I am trying to write some more text in an existing project in design view. I use Track Changes and have set the text to be Times New Roman 12pt. When I made a line italic it turned into Arial. I tried to change it to Times once again by selecting the text to format and then choose Format/ Font/ Times New Roman but it won´t change, it is still Arial. Earlier in the text I managed to make a line italic and Times New Roman.
Anyone who knows what to do?
(I use RoboHelp 10 with Windows 7 Professional.)

Thanks for input!
Yes, I think it was an inline style I made.
I managed to get the text as I wanted to by deleting it, then I choose a style from the ‘Styles and Formatting’ pod that matched and retyped the text. (To me it seems strange to have to do this. I thought that I could change an inline style by highlighting the text and choose the font I want it to bee from the ‘Formatting’ toolbar.)
Now I have another (but similar) text formatting problem:
I copy a text that has style set to Normal. When I insert the text (on a line with style Normal) the font changes from Times New Roman to Arial. The inserted text still has the style Normal. I have in the ‘Styles and Formatting’ pod checked that Normal still has Times New Roman by opening the ‘Styles’ window. (I still have ‘Track Changes’ turned on.)

How do I fix the problems with text formating functions in hotmail and other text based sites?

In a Mailing list provider site it disables the text formating functions, instead only showing a 'loading' message. The functions never appear. In Hotmail the scroll arrows on the right hand side does not work. Sometimes the email toolbar becomes 'grey' and the buttons do not work. When forwarding an email sometimes the email does not show in the new email message.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Firefox was reinstalled March 2010.

The only possible fix was turning the phone off immediately and burying it in a bag of dry rice for a week at least. That might...just might...have worked. But you're way beyond that and I see no fixes. In fact the phone is probably going to get more problems before finally gving up the ghost. Continued use is just shorting out more and more of the circuitry. For that reason I don't think repair is much of an option. Go to an Apple Store and buy an out-of-warranty replacement.

Problem with text formatting within a table in Adobe Forms

Hi all,
I have a table on a non-interactive Adobe form (which is a copy of the standard expense form PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM. The table in ABAP has a text field with CHAR50. On the form, the text field has a width which allows approximately 35 characters. Therefore the text wraps onto a second line. My problem is that the text is not formatted and words are just split randomly.
For example:
The fox ran across the fields and into the woods.
would be output as:
The fox ran across the fields and i
nto the woods.
How can the text be formatted to only output complete words?
I have tried defining the textfield as text only and rich text, but nothing changes the output.
Interestingly, even if I change the font size from say 10 to 8, the text is output the same, even though there is enough space for at least one more word on the first line.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks,
Patricia

Hi Syed
The table is IT_RECEIPTS_ADD_INFO, field VALUE_CHAR. In the form it is called Receipts_addl_info.
I have just found out that the data is being re-formatted in the interface. That caused the problem. Many, many thanks for your help.
Best regards
Patricia

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

ID CS5: Problem with Text Wrap being Forgetful :(

I am having a problem with text wrap. Whenever I open this INDD file I am working on now, some of the images shift from having what I call "actual" text wrap to having "false" text wrap. "Actual" text wrap *actually* wraps the text around the image as it is supposed to; "false" text wrap says that "Wrap Around Bounding Box" is applied to the image yet no text is wrapped. After opening the file, making sure to unset and reset the text wrap on each offending image to show an "actual" text wrap WITHOUT changing layer order, saving the file, closing, and reopening, some images have "false" text wrap again! This is a 77 page document with images on every page.
Another occurrence is if I largely change the flowed text. If I must remove a paragraph on page 7, for example, then the "actual" text wrapped images on page 10, 12, and 18 change to "false" text wrapped images and I have to reset the text wrap on each image. There are often images in between offending ones that DO NOT change, but it doesn't seem to be the same ones each time. So once image A, C, and D will change to "false" text wrap, while B, E, and F are fine; the next time, A, B, and F are wrong and the others are fine. This is driving me crazy as I have never in 8 years of using InDesign encountered a problem using Text Wrap. Please note:
Ignore Text Wrap IS NOT selected.
The text box IS below the images.
The copy is flowed throughout the document.
Preferences>Composition>"Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath Selected"" DOES NOT FIX IT.
"Wrap around bounding box" IS showing as selected for the image/images.
There is NO CLIPPING PATH / PHOTOSHOP PATH / ALPHA PATH on these images.
The images / text box order is not changed between being correct and being incorrect.
Anyone else with this trouble? And, if so, how did you fix it? Thanks,

Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
PDF XChange (my favorite)
Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
Adobe (the bloated monster)
Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
ABBYY
And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
Here is what I've learned for my situation
The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

A Problem with Region Format Settings

Hi!
I have a peculiar problem with Region Format settings on my iPod touch (Settings > General > International > Region Format). It appears that iPod touch can support more region formats than it is stated on that list. Once I registered my iPod, I selected my location, Lithuania, and it automatically set (I think because of this action, and not another, like my PC settings) Region Format to Lithuanian. Although it is nonexistent on the menu list! Good news!
However, the problem is that while I explored my iPod I accidentally checked another region, and there is no "cancel" option. So my region switched to another. And now I am not able to switch it back to Lithuanian again because there is no such selection (reset or restore didn't help).
Has anybody any suggestions how could I return to my preferred region format (Lithuanian)? Thanks!

thats interesting. I think the ipod took those settings from your computer/mac.
anyway, shouldn't there be something near you that has the same region format settings? maybe you can just use something that's exactly the same.
and btw: some of the regions have arrows next to them which brings you to subregions of that region. maybe you should check that out?
otherwise ... well ... I think only a restore would bring back the original settings.

I'm having problem with text boxes. Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line. Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

You are absolutely right. Thought Enter meant Enter. I was wrong. Thank you for the help.

Having problems with texts width when viewed in Firefox

I My site is OK when viewed in Chrome and Safari, but in Firefox, the width of paragraphs is becoming very long and all is displayed wrong.
I need a clue where to look to fix. I have not , or very little knowledge of HTML code. So I rely on the DW CS5 interface.
Thanks,D.

Thanks Nancy ,
I'll try,
Should I just paste your info between the brackets, I guess.
I am not so good with this but I need to spent a bit of time to fix this
old web site while another one is being designed.
Yes the images are too big, I'll reduce them, and optimize. This was
done in a rush..

Problem with table formatting

I'm having a lot of problems with tables not reflecting their formatting when I open them in a browser. I've tried opening in Safari, Firefox & Camino with the same results. For example, a row with the following html content has a much larger height & aligns the text to the top when opened in a browser:
<tr>
          <td height="15" colspan="3" valign="middle"><h6 align="center">Summer 2009</h6>
          </td>
        </tr>
If it matters, this is a row in a table nested in another table. Here's the code down to the row in question (all tags are closed properly in the remaining code):
<table width="600" border="2" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
      <td align="center" valign="top"><img src="images/events.jpg" width="250" height="35"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td align="left" valign="top">
      <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
        <tr>
          <td height="15" colspan="3" valign="middle"><h6 align="center">Summer 2009</h6>
          </td>
        </tr>
I am using a style sheet for text. Here's the code for "h6" if that matters:
h6 {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #660099;
Any ideas is appreciated. This is driving me nuts. Spacing and alignment sometimes work and sometimes don't work. Dreamweaver is supposed to make such things easier!
Kevin

Header tags are usually used round a bit of text, not parts of a table, and if you don't specify the margins on them, can force different amounts of space below in different browsers. Try making the bottom margin on h6 zero, and confine it to text within a cell.
Also, if you can upload your page somewhere and let us have the url it will be easier to troubleshoot.
