Problems with style sheets

I switched to Pages about one year ago because I then found that style management was easy and straightforward compared to Word. I updated to Pages V2.0 in January and since then I have been annoyed with the new way style sheets are managed.
In V1.0, when copying / pasting text from Word to Pages, styles would not been copied leave the style sheet clean.
Now, when copying / Pasting text from Word to Pages, the whole Word style sheet is copied in Pages (whatever paste option is used) messing everything around
I believe this is a bug but I did not get any straight answer from Apple support. Do you face the same problem? Does anyone have a work around?
Cheers.

Philippe,
actually it will indeed be the easiest to remove the Word styles when you're finished with your text.
You should be aware that Pages will ask you for a style to replace the one you're deleting, if that style is still assigned. If you Paste and Match Style, this shouldn't be a problem.
I wouldn't number Pages styles but use a prefix, e.g. "pg_". This will still keep the sorting you're probably now used to. A prefix is also usefull if your Pages styles use numbering (text style) since Pages automatically adds a number in front of the style name. This could lead to some confusion.
Additionally, you should, as suggested by dwb, send feedback to Apple and ask to change the behaviour of Patch and Match Style.

Strange Problem with Style Sheet

Hi,
I wasn't sure where to post this to, maybe the Leopard discussions may be more appropriate! I run a website based on a Wordpress backend that uses CSS. For some reason my website will not display correctly in ANY browser on my Macbook (2.16C2D/2GB/250GB/10.5.5), but it works fine on any of my other Macs or PC's.
Basically the menu headings and post titles should be white on a black background but they are bold and the colour of my link items (#6699ff). There are other minor formatting issues as well. It shows up incorrectly in all my browsers (Safari 3, Camino 1.6 and 2 (default), Opera 9.5, Firefox 3 and Flock) and also in CSSEdit (which likely uses the Safari engine).
It's also a system wide issue, not a user one as it is the same for other users of the Macbook. It started about a week ago, and the only system wide change I have made since then is installing Flash Player 10. I have since tried removing all internet plugins but there was no change.
Although this is not a huge issue it's really annoying as I initially thought my website was broken before testing on another machine. Any ideas on this one would be greatly appreciated. BTW, the offending style sheet is called styles.css
Thanks,
Rory

Sorry - the web address of the site is www.dj-moose.co.uk/blog You should see the menu headings down the left in a white sans serif font and the post titles also in white in a capitalised sans serif font. Both of these are #6699ff and bold for me, as if the a:hover style and H3 have combined.

Scripts working with Style Sheets

Hello. I'm working in CS3, InDesign.
I am working on a fairly large conference book full of sessions, two columns per page. Two style sheet in question: 1) Head_with_RuleAbove; 2) Head_with_NoRule. Scenario: The sessions are divided by a horizontal rule, except when the session is at the top of a column. Here in lies my problem, if a session is added or taken away then I have to go back through to the end of the file and touch all the "head" to either add or remove the rule above with style sheets. If this happens at the front of the book, it's very time consuming.
My dream: Is there a script that exists that can run in tandum with style sheets that picks a style sheet to use depending on where the text find's itself in the column, ie at the top or not at the top?
I apologize that this question is so wordy and confusing.I appreciate any help you all have to offer. Until then I will click away.
Kindly.
--Dimitry

It's possible to write a script that does just that: add a line to each head, except when it's at the top of a frame; in that case remove the line.
A drawback is that you would have to run it on every change. So try cheating. This way you don't have to do anything on reflowing text:
Go to the master pages for these columns and add a new layer. Position this layer on top of the existing one(s). Draw a white rectangle on the position where the line would come. All you have to do is making sure you add the text on the right layer, and don't use these master pages for anything else than these 2-column texts.

Formatting incoming text with style sheets

Is there a way to "find/change" formatted text with existing style sheets? In other words I have formatted text placed into my indesign document that looks like the following: <bf>Four Patch</bf> Then another set of text that looks like this:<it> Baltimore Press</it> I set up stles sheets formatted for Bold font and Ital font to accomodate these formats. Problem is I have a 500 page book that I need to go through and stylize. I tried to do a find/change global (<bf> </bf> to bold font etc but it didn't work. I was hoping by just putting a space between the <> would help the find/change option to find all the text but kept saying could find. I hope someone understands what I'm trying to do and can tell me that there is a remedy to the tedious formatting issue I have. Thanks MAria Stuart, Florida

If you have InDesign CS3, I can think of two ways to deal with this.
Grep search: set search to
<bf>([^<]+)</bf>
and replacement string to
$1
and then set the change format to your boldface style. Change all. (I often think it's a good idea to take a copy before doing Change All on a 500-page document, but that's up to you.) Repeat with hopefully obvious changes for the italics. You can save the searches if you need to do this often.
Adventurous alternative.
Put the single line
<stuff>
at the top of your file, and
</stuff>
at the bottom.
Now it's XML. So open the structure panel, import XML from the fly-out menu. Map Tags to Styles from the same menu, and set up the correspondence you need. Then drag the stuff node from the structure panel to the document.
If you have to do this more than once, you can import the mapping from an old file each time after the first.
IMPORTANT: The XML route will fail if you have loose & or less than characters in your file. You would have to replace these with the appropriate character entity references.
(If you aren't reading this on the forum site, you may be seeing character entity references in the message. Hopefully you can decode them.)

Problem with Style, Style2, Style3 in style table LVC_S_STYL.

Hi Gems,
I have an ALV output with field MATNR as disabled, HOTSPOT enabled and NO F4.
Now based on certain conditions i need to make the field as editable, F4 enable, Remove Hotspot only for some records.
I am using LVC_S_STYL wherein i am filling the fields style, style2, style3, style4 as below.
            wa_editcell-style = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled.
            wa_editcell-style2 = cl_gui_alv_grid=>MC_STYLE_HOTSPOT_NO.
            wa_editcell-style3 = cl_gui_alv_grid=>MC_STYLE_F4.
Whatever value i pass to STYLE is working But whatever values in others style2, style3 are not showing any effect.
Please suggest me what should i do?
Thanks
Dan

Dear Dan,
I have some issues with lvc_s_styl.
In my ALV, i am having check box as a column and i am using 'style' for handling some other fields based on checkbox.
I have a situation where i am having buttons as a column. I have to handle some other fields when this button is clicked.
But the problem is since for the first time i tried to use 'style' for both operations (both button and checkbox), they were getting overwritten. so once i click the checkbox, the buttons were disappearing. As a matter of fact, i tried to handle checkbox with 'style' and button with 'style2'. But the buttons are not getting displayed even for the first time. Any suggestions.

Smartview Problem with Protected Sheets

Hello,
We use Hyperion Smart View in our company and discovered a problem while using protected excel sheets while the addin is active. Excel asks for the password but doesnt accept it even if it is the right password. If we disable the addin the problem disappears. Has somebody else such a problem ?
Has somebody a solution or a workaround ?
Thanks for the help

This issue was logged under Bug 6591401 - When Smart View is active and the worksheet is protected, the following error message is encountered ''Drawing Objects in one or more sheet(s) in the workbook are protected. Please unprotect them and try to save again.'' However, Bug 6591401 has been closed as not a defect.
The following is an explanation of how Smart View handles protected cells and a workaround for this issue:
Smart View needs some place to store it's own metadata within the Excel spreadsheet and it has been using a certain non-obtrusive object for the same. In versions 9.2 and prior, Smart View attempted to unprotect the Excel worksheets to be able to write it's metadata. That led to unexpected behavior when there were passwords used with the protection. This was fixed in 9.3.1.1.2 to make Smart View elegantly honor the spreadsheet protection and not touch objects which are specified as out of bounds by the user. However, when a spreadsheet is protected, this object can become inaccessible to Smart View, after which even a simple save operation cannot go through. In that sense, the current behavior is indeed the correct behavior, where the user placed restriction is honored correctly. The next question will be how can customers then work with protected sheets.
While protecting a worksheet, the following dialog appears which is where the user will have to establish what kind of operations will be allowed on this worksheet. By default the top two options are the only ones that come pre-selected. Just allowing these two options is not sufficient for Smart View to be able to work with the worksheet.
What also needs to be enabled is the option for "Edit Objects" which appears towards the end of the list. It is this option that helps Smart View to be able to persist it's own metadata within the worksheet in a non-obtrusive fashion. The guidance to all Smart View users should be to start enabling this option too, if they choose to apply worksheet protection.

Problems with exporting sheet to pdf

I want to make my data available on the web, so it's important that Adobe Reader and Reader plugin be able to open my pdf document. Preview has no problem with the the document. Adobe Reader can't seem to deal with it. The document is probably 4 standard pages wide and pretty long. It opens in Reader as an all white document. Interestingly, the preview of the pdf document is a long thin vertical box.
I also tried to upload the document to iwork.com. The document appears a bit blurry online, but you can see it. If you download the document, you still can't open it in Adobe.
Any idea?

I created a large table and saved with the "include Preview" active.
In the document itself I got the file:
Western 3:Important:ƒ banque:Chèques YK09.numbers:QuickLook:Preview.pdf
As I wrote, in this one, the table _is not cutted in pages_ as it is in the ones generated by Print to PDF or Export to PDF.
It's the monolytic one used by Spotlight.
My table contains 1800 rows so the subset syndrom doesn't strike.
So I can't guarantee that it's a deliberate feature or the result of a memory shortcut as written by BadUnit.
But now I'm sure that the PDF posted by the OP is not the one which we are supposed to use.
Grabbing the embedded PDF is not a good idea.
The thumbnails of the PDF printed from my test document:
The Thumbnails of the embedded Preview.pdf
The thumbnails of the OP's PDF
Is it clear now ?

Importing Word into InDesign, problem with styles

OS 10.6, CS5
Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any experience with importing styled Word docs into InDesign?
Editors style their Word documents with some basic styles (Text, References, Headline, etc.) using a Word template that I created. Designers use import options to match the Word styles to the ID styles. This worked fine in Word 2004 and InDesign CS3: Word "text" style would map on import to the InDesign "text" style, even though they had totally different attributes. Superscripts, italics, etc. would be respected as local overrides in InDesign.
Then we upgraded to CS5. Automatic mapping on import no longer seems to work: After importing text, all the styles in InDesign have local overrides assigned to them that don't make sense (hyphenation exceptions, tab settings). So I'm left with importing the Word styles, using auto-renaming so that InDesign explicitly does NOT match styles.
Then delete the Word styles one by one from the paragraph style panel, replacing with the desired ID style.
This has gone on for several months and we've now upgraded to Office 2011 but that hasn't solved the problem.
With Word 2011 docx files, the import works almost like it did in CS3, the styles almost come in cleanly: If the style in Word has NO local overrides, such as italics or superscripts, the InDesign style is correctly applied. The problem is those local overrides in Word--InDesign not only respects the italic or superscript, it also respects the font attribute. All the Word styles are Times New Roman so all superscripts in InDesign are coming in as superscript + TNR. (see screenshot)
Are we left with our original work-around? Importing styles then manually deleting and replacing them?
This is frustrating because it used to be smooth and seamless and while some new features of CS5 are great, it's annoying that it's broken this fundamental function!
I've tried saving the Word files as doc or rtf instead of docx but this doesn't make a difference in this problem.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I'm an author / publisher. I write in Word and I publish with InDesign. When I'm in the review stages, I like to edit my text in Word, so I export the text as an RTF. When I import it back into InDeisgn I often find that some of the styles have annoying overrides from Word that break things. (1) Paragraph style stuff about hyphenation and (2) Characters style stuff about Character direction: Left-to-Right style.
* Easy global fix: select the whole text open the Window | Style | Paragraph window, and click the button on the bottom to remove all overrides. And do the same for the Window | Style | Character window. Before doing this, I like to check that I don’t have any italics that are in the file as overrides rather than being in there as part of a header style or as part of the Emphasis style that I try to use throughout the text instead of just an italic override. It makes me uneasy to remove all overrides, as I always worry there might be an important one I could have kept.
* (1) Specific fix for the hyphenation overrides: Make sure the hyphenation settings in the individual InDesign paragraph styles match, so far as possible, the Word global hyphenation settings in the Page Layout | Hyphenation dialog of Word. InDesign will import any Word hyphenation settings that don’t match the InDesign doc styles as overrides.
Specifically, set InDesign Hyphen Limit to ( say) 1 and set Word | Hyphenation | Hyphenation Options | Limit consecutive hyphens to the same number (say) 1. Also set InDesign Paragraph Style Hyphenation | Hyphenation Zone to (say) 0.5” and set Word | Hyphenation | Hyphenation Options | Hyphenation Zone to the same number (say) 0.5”. And turn off all the InDesign optional hyphenation check boxes at the bottom of the dialog, and the turn off the two check boxes in the Word Hyphenation Options box as well.In Word you should also set Hyphenation | Automatic. If you cautiously set Word Hyphenation | None the import will throw a “Hyphenation” override on the hyphenated paragraph styles, even though this maikes no sense.
You may still pick up some hyphenation related overrides on your heder styles, if you have set the headers not to hyphenate. You can either dump the overrides in InDesign or you can set your header styles to hyphenate…and be careful not have any headers actually be longer than one line.
(2) I still haven't found the fix for the Left-to-Right text override.

Problem with styles

In my jsf files i have id and class attributes associated with elements.
The class attribute is used to specify generic style properties like color,font etc. and the id attribute is used to mention the properties specific to the element(like top,left,position etc).
for eg:
in commonStyles.css I have,
LabelLeftAligned {
 font-family : Arial,Verdana,Sans-Serif;
 font-size : 9pt;
 color : #000000;
 text-align : left;
and in MyFirstPage.css I have
label#membershipNumberLabel{
 height:18px;
 width:120px;
 left:10px;
 top:10px;
 position:absolute;
and in my MyFirstPage.jsp file i specify
<h:outputLabel value="Membership Number: " for="membershipNumberText" styleClass="LabelLeftAligned " id="membershipNumberLabel"/>
But due to the auto generation of 'id' the alignment of the page is lost.
Whats the solution for this ??
Thanks in advance,

Ok, admittedly, I'm no css guru. You obviously know more about this stuff than me. But wouldn't it be easier to use the style attribute instead of the fancy id?
So it ends up looking like this:
<h:outputLabel value="Membership Number: " for="membershipNumberText" styleClass="LabelLeftAligned " id="membershipNumberText"
 style="height:18px;width:120px;left:10px;top:10px;position:absolute;"/>Just throwing out a suggestion. =) Hope it helps.

Caption problem with Contact Sheet II plugin

I'm using the current version of Photoshop CC (2014.2.1) and suddenly have a caption anomaly that is quite annoying. When creating contact sheets using Contact Sheet II no matter what setting I request for caption font sizes it created the contact sheet with 2.2 pt. text. I've never had an issue. I tried resetting the type tool itself but that made mo different I normally set the captions to 10 to 12 pt.
This issue just began in the last week. I did update to the new Mac os (Yosemite) in the last ten days.
Any idea as to what is going on? Thanks for any help.

CSS properties are prefixed with style sheet name

I have two sites both created with the default templates in dreamweaver. The properties of the CSS file both looked different as shown.
What is the difference and how to I clean up the one that is prefixed?

There is nothing to clean up. .something are classes, #something are IDs. They don#rt mutually exclude one another but can coexist. If defined in a specific stylesheet and order, they provide contextual rules, e.g. if a class rule appears inside a specific elemnet with an ID. Nothing wrong. Read up on CSS!
