Problems Layout not formatting correctly

This is my first time using Pages so I decided to use one of the templates as a basis for my design. It does include headers and footers--and so far everything has been pretty easy to follow. However, my problem is with printing. The layout on my screen in Pages is drastically different than with the Preview before I print. Everything has been shifted over and down. I have checked the margins in the Pages document itself in the Inspector and the layout does react correctly as I move them. I have exported it as a PDF and it does exactly the same thing. I made a custom layout in the Print Set-up to a lower printable margin and it still doesn't help. Also--this isn't the issue since (for some reason) the 2nd page will print correctly, while the first and third are still off-center.
I would ideally like the whole page to be printable--but it seems to be in a "shrink-to-fit-<off-center>" mode, but there are no margin issues as they are all on custom. I also tried printing it as a layout and it had no change.
Anyway, I am honestly stumped--I know it's not an issue with my printer as it prints the 2nd page correctly... I have also downloaded any updates and new drivers. Oh yeah, the 2nd page looks identical to the first and third in my Pages layout.
If any one has a clue please help me out!
Thanks =)!

File not formatted correctly error

Dear All,
when am trying to import a contract file as excel sheet, not CVs file, i get the error ( File not formatted correctly ). any advice?

the issue with date formatting would be corrected in Excel. When an export file that includes dates is opened in Excel, they get reformatted by the Excel program. In my experience, I have had to reformat those cells in Excel to the YYYY-MM-DD format and save the Excel file before I could import again into CM. But, if you are just exporting and then importing without opening the file in Excel, then the dates are not the problem. What are you exporting from CM? Are you trying to import into a different project or database than you exported from?

RTF not formating correctly

Hi everyone
I imported an RTF document and inlcuded it in my splash screen. I have some lingo that updated the ducumented when the EXE is ran:
on beginsprite me
member("Lawyer_bio").fileName = the moviePath & "Lawyer_bio.rtf"
member("Lawyer_bio").rtf = member("Lawyer_bio").rtf
end
For some reason, the bullet points on my document are not formating correctly. It works fine with some RTF documents, but with other it does the following:
See how only the first bullet if formating correctly, why are the other ones not? Like I said, it doesn't happen with all the RTF documents.
thank you for your time,
Rafa.

Dear Rafa,
Please check to see that the sprite cast you were transferring into was not a accidentally a “field” cast member. Text and field objects have different properties and methods. Both sprites should be Text cast members. (I can visualize the problem you describe occurring if you were transferring into a Field Cast member from a Text cast member.)
Curious about how dynamic your application will be, Rafa.
I did not experience the same problem when attempting to duplicate the scenario you described.
Are the formatting errors introduced when you import the file? Or were they already there in the RTF document before you imported?
The way I would troubleshoot is to ‘put char()’ in the message window, from just before to just after the bullet, comparing that with another Text cast member that has properly formatted text, and discover the anomaly. It should then be easy to write a Lingo handler to detect anomalies and correct the formatting.
Here is the syntax for text cast members, illustrated. By creating two text cast members (“A” eh) on the stage, then go to the message window and try:
set T1 = the member of sprite 1
set T2 = the member of sprite 2
et T1.text ="Hello World"
set T2.text = T1.text
put char 1 of T2.text
put the text of member 1 of castlib 1 -- or use the name of the cast member …
likewise:
put char 2 of (member 2 of castlib 1).text
TEXT cast members are much improved over earlier versions of Director. You used to only be able to manipulate FIELD cast members with Lingo, and the limit to a field cast member was 32kb.
Adobe keeps on improving Director. I wonder if Adobe will revive the Shockwave player, or build Director Shockwave into Acrobat.
I’ve been out of the game for a long time. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

Apple iBooks not formatted correct

i posted this to the wrong discussion gourp
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25408887?ac_cid=op123456#25408887
The problem is my wife purchased some iBooks fromt the Apple iBook store and they are not formatted correct for the her iPad2. What is strange is they can be read on the MacBook Pro using 10.9.2 and the iPad was recently updated.
He books on the iPad go away and it takes a reboot to get them back. All of the older iBooks work.... the new ones are formattted wrong

>My wife has an appointment at the Genius Bar this afternoon to discuss the nonstandard format being sold by iBooks.
B-I-N-G-O The Genius Bar person FIXED it for her!
The problme was the Apple server sent her bad files. The fix was to delete them from the iPad2 and download them again. She was not charged for the 2nd download the three books all work perfect now.
What willl be interesting is she has the good copies on the iPad and the bad copies on hte MacBook Pro. Will synce move the good books iTunes on the MBP or will it sync the bad books back tto the iPad. Stay tuned

Hello colinOxford0917,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iBooks on your devices. If you continue to have issues opening the book in question on your iPad Air due to a format error, you may want to try deleting the copy on your iPad, then redownloading it directly to your iPad from the iBook Store.

Basic Layout not rendering correctly.

''locking as a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1035123''
Hello,
I've been trying to debug a problem I was noticing on my production websites, so I dumbed it down to a quick codepen to show off the issue. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/GgoBNJ
Basically, standard fonts (helvetica, arial, etc.) are not rendering correctly within a div. For some reason the text is pushing itself up ~2 pixels. Not to mention, fonts are looking very jagged within the browser for no apparent reason.
I am setting up a basic div with hardly any styles and yet this produces two different renderings within FF and Chrome
.box{
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
border: 2px solid #FF5500;
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
This is causing me all sorts of headaches with designers who are trying to make layouts pixel perfect as I have zero control over something like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Videos not formatted correctly in Windows

I have several videos on 2 different pages in iWeb. They display fine on either Safari or FireFox on the Mac, but do not display correctly on FireFox or IE on Windows. The placement of the videos is scattered all over the page. The videos do play correctly, however.
I would really appreciate help in resolving this problem so Windows users can also see the videos the way they were meant to be displayed.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

I had a similar problem with the video frames "smearing" on IE when scrolling the page.

Cfdocument format = PDF - does not format correctly

Greetings
I am simply attempting to print invoices from a query that displays correctly on the cfm result page, but using cfdocument to render a PDF version (to mail out) does not format even remotely close to the cfm page.
I tried every conceivable method I know of, including:
Formating the cfm page (via CSS and hardcoded table width) to be 612 px X 792 px (8.5 X 11 in), and here is the cfdocument code:
<cfdocument
format="pdf"
pageType="custom"
unit="in"
marginbottom="0.75"
marginleft="0.75"
marginright="0.75"
margintop="0.75"
pageHeight="11"
pageWidth="8.5"
mimeType="text/html"
fontembed="yes"
orientation="portrait">
<style type="text/css">
@import url(css/moorings.css);
</style>
<html> blah blah </html>
</cfdocument>
The rendered PDF file is 4.5 X 5 in- (both in IE and Firefox) What am I missing here?
CF 9
Thanks in advance, as always.

Well, in answer to my own question, the solution is in the CSS, using tables and CSS:
set table height and width to 100%
set font-size:100%;
set header font, bolder, larger :125%;, etc.
Also using the cfdocument attributes as shown in the posting
The PDF now prints correctly, margins are perfect.
Now I have to figure out how to loop through the 900+ records, convert each to a PDF and print one copy of each-
Anyone?
Thanks....

IOS Numbers - Korean Hangul text not formatting correctly in cells

For example, I'm trying to enter the Korean word ‘가면' into cells but the text is not grouping correctly. The final letter 'ㄴ' is not associated with the related syllable. Instead of '가면', I get '가며ㄴ'.
I don't get this problem in others apps, only Numbers. I can copy and paste the correct form '가면' from other apps, but obviously this is a bit laborious.
Any idea how I can fix this please? (I've got 2 keyboards enabled, Korean and english). Thanks.

This may be a bug that only Apple can fix. You can report it via

You might try changing Korean fonts.

On windows 7 my itunes 11 opening screen is not formatted correctly. How do I formatt itunes 11 welcome screen?

on windows 7 my itunes 11 opening page is not formatted and looks different than itunes 11 ads and formatting. How do I get to the itunes 11 welcome screen?

I have not seen your error in either my IE or my chrome. I do note that you are using a "strict" Document Type Declaration.
You might try a transitional DTD, which should be more forgiving than the strict:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Other than that, I don't see anything particular (because I don't see the error, either) that would cause the menu to drop vertically instead of horizontally.

Trailers not formatting correctly in Safari

ITunes Movie Trailers are not playing correctly in Safari. On selecting full screen using the expand arrows in the video control panel in Safari 5.1.10 & OS 10.6.8; Trailer will expand to full screen and the screen will go black, but on selecting play there is no image or sound exept a faded outline of the edge of the Trailer frame that runs off screen and does not play. Trailer plays in defualt size.

Try emptying the Safari cache. Command + Option + E. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, might be an incompatible extension.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Why does text not format correctly when pasting into outlook?

I am attaching a Screenshot of an email to better help you understand.
Basically, I receive an email from customer. I draft an email to respond and send to my boss to get approval. Once my boss approves, I go back to my original sent email and copy and paste into a reply to the original email from my customer but for some reason in Outlook for Mac it doesn't format correctly. It always pastes the text in a sorda column if you will, as though word wrap isnt working. When I send it, it looks even worse to the customer, especially if they are looking at it on a phone. I have looked high and low and cant find an answer. Thanks in advance!
FYI I copied and pasted the text into "Pages" to show exactly what it is doing.

Printing envelope not formatted correctly on custom size 8.75 by 5.75

Printers and All-In-Ones running win 7 64 bit, officejet 8600 pro all update current, In works 2007 word processor or 2011 Hallmark card progam. downloaded latest driver and reinstalled same (deleted original dr and rebooted first). Envelope is correctly positioned, address prints at top of flap side return address is missing. On plain paper (8.5X11) test print, address & return address appears to be in correct position.

I have the same problem with the same size paper (aka Invitation or Statement size), and have an additional problem with printing to the corresponding envelope size which is a Standard A9 (5.75"x8.75"). These are both standard size papers for the U.S. and are used in printing wedding invitations. I don't understand why there are programmed sizes for Japanese stationary, but not for all standard U.S. size formats (that will fit in the main feed tray) or the ability to create a Custom Size format.
Because these features weren't available, I ended up paying a local printer to print my New Year's cards (an expense I wasn't anticipating that equaled half the purchase price of the printer). And, since I can't print on the envelopes I will need to print labels, which I was hoping to avoid because I hate applying labels to envelopes.
HP, please update the software to allow customers to print to all appropriate Standard Size US formats or allow for customization, otherwise my next printer will be purchased from a manufacturer that does provide this ability.

How can I install windows 7 using boot camp, if the partition will not format correctly?

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and have had a chance to look around a little bit, but haven't really found an answer to the problem that I'm having.
I have an imac and I'm attempting to use boot camp. I have used it in the past, with prior versions of mac os x, but this is the first time that I have tried it with 10.6.8. The first thing I found out is that I can't use Windows XP, even with service pack 2 installed, because it doesn't find the "boot camp" partition. So, I recently obtained a full retail copy of Windows 7 and have been trying to install it. I have no problem with the boot camp assistant creating the new partition, 200 GB. However, when I insert the Windows 7 DVD and the computer restarts in the Win 7 install screen it tells me that I cannot install Windows on the selected partition (which I expected to see.) So I choose "format" the further format the partition. It doesn't ask me how I would like to partition this, but just seems to start. All seems to go fine until it finishes and i see the same message of "Windows cannot be installed in the selected partition." I can click on the format tab endlessly but it still doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas? I've called Apple and their technicians keep telling me that I need to reinstall the Mac OS again, which I've tried. It doesn't seem to help either.
Thanks in advance for your help,
DTK

Yes, I choose "Format" under the advanced options screen. It seems like it formats, but then I get the same message of "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." I can continue to click "format" but i keep getting the same error.
There is the answer, right in front of us ....
Delete the bootcamp partition and start again the correct partition type is GUID but BootCamp should take care of that automatically so try again.
