Setting Default Custom Arrow Tip Sizes

We use a custom arrow tip in FrameMaker 11, everytime you close Frame you have to set the custom setting again, is there any way to set this so it always stays at our chosen custom arrow tip size?

If you end up using RefPage arrows, as we have, you might as well make them even more useful with self-masking properties.
Our RefPage has several different arrows, which were based on FM arrows (which is important for getting a useful outline when dragging and rotating).
To those, we added, with the polygon tool, zero border polygons, just larger than the arrows, filled with the named color we use for all masks (which is set to white or knock-out for pub). This makes the arrows easy to see and not be confused with image content.
One variant creates a border all the way around the arrow, which is useful for photos and contone images. Another exposes the tip, which allows the tip to exposes the tip, allowing it to just touch items in line art. Both versions have a slightly expose tail, which allows them to touch callout bubbles and not mask them (the bubbles have their own masks, and need to be sent below the arrows). The arrows are grouped to the mask for easy copy and paste. Although enormously useful, I should note that such masked arrows don't scale acceptably. You will also need to create them at max res, with grid snap off.
For what is supposed to be the premier tech comm app, FM is extraordinarly weak on callouts. Most CAD apps at least have smart c/os, but they tend to be aesthetically unpleasant.

Set default custom print size

Using Windows 7 with Adobe Reader X1.
I need to repeatedly print documents (actually labels) using a Custom Scale of 43% (under File / Print / Page Sizing & Handling). Is there a way to set this as a default? A registry key perhaps? I've found the registry key which sets the Custom Scale option as default but I can't find anywhere to change percentage (which defaults to 100).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Set default font type and size in formcreated using Acrobat X Pro

I have a word document that I used Acrobat X Pro to create a PDF and then a Form. The Form has over 200 text fields. Is there a way to globally set the font type and size to one type, for instance Arial 10 so that when someone opens the Form and fills it in, the global font type and size is preset

Are you talking about fields that you create manually or field created with the Form Wizard? Exactly what version of Acrobat are you using? What OS?
In any case, using a script is a quick and easy approach:
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
    var fName = getNthFieldName(i);
    var f = getField(fName);
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Times;
        f.textSize = 9;
        // Other properties go here
I use this type of thing all the time to quickly alter a form. Such a script isn't added anywhere, just executed (e.g., JavaScript console). Over time a developer can build up a collection of utility scripts that can do all sorts of things to dramatically speed up development. It would be bad if this option were not available.
If there is a bug, it should certainly be addressed, so don't think I'm arguing against that, but I'm not seeing it on any of my systems. I can successfully set the default field properties by selecting "Use Current Properties as New Defaults". The Form Wizard does not use these defaults, but that's a different matter.

Set-up custom font, font size, and color for writing new and reply e-mails in Thunderbird

I know that I can select the font, size, and color for writing each new and reply e-mails in Thunderbird, but I don't want to have to do this each time. I want to set-up the default font, size, and color for all new and reply e-mails. It already comes up with a default one, but I want to change it, but can't figure out how to do this. I'm sure it is quite simple, but I don't know how to do this. Thank you in advance for help.

Tools > Options > Display > Formatting tab
Default font: select font
Select size : eg; 14
Click on 'Advanced' button and set all the sizes to 14
Select : 'allow messages to use other fonts'
click on OK
Click on 'Composition'
Under the 'General' tab
Suggest you set HTML font to 'Variable width' and Size : 'Medium'
Select the 'Text colour' you would like to compose email using
Select the 'Background colour' you would like to use when composing emails.
click on OK to save all changes.
This will set the display email list to the selected font.
It will allow received emails to use the font the sender used.
When you compose an email it will also use the same font settings.
The message 'Display' settings in the above section also apply to messages that you compose. The settings are not sent, so they do not affect how your messages appear to recipients.
The settings in the ''Composition' section can affect how messages are sent. If you make unusual choices, then people who receive messages from you might find them difficult or impossible to read. Hence, why I suggest you leave it as 'Variable width' and allow the 'Display' settings to set the default used for composing emails.

How to set default custom button in af:popup

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2. I have popup. In that there are two input fields and one custom button called "Login". At runtime after the popup is been launched , while pressing Enter key it needs to trigger the "Login" button. If I use *<af:subForm>* in jsff file, the default is getting triggered. Apart from <af:subform> Is there any way to trigger default button at runitime?
Thanks & Regards,
Praveen.

You can use an af:dialog of type ok/cancel for your popup. If you hit enter it'll work like the OK button is clicked. In a dialoglistener you can destinguage all other buttons or ESC.
Check out http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/docs/tagdoc/af_dialog.html and http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/77-ok-cancel-support-in-dialog-351871.pdf for a sample.

Hi Edge community, How can I set a custom colors

Hi Edge community,
How can I set a custom colors & font size
to the Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014
work space (stage, time lone, tools, etc...)
to get something close to this?

Thanks a lot for Your time and help.

Hi Robyn_cpl,
thanks for the useful link - based on this I decided to
purchase the PDF of Adobe Edge Animate: The Missing Manual
by Chris Grover. Good book indeed, work space panels resizing
and docking are covered, but there is nothing on colors&fonts...
I've been searching intro's, tut's, forums on Edge, but no hint
on this... But I keep searching You Tube, Google, etc...
I'm intended to submit the subject to Adobe Edge Support.
Thanks again for Your attention

Automatically create a custom VPN connection and set default wallpaper in a deployment...

Hey guys,
I've been hard at work on creating a custom deployment for our company to allow us to start rolling out Windows 7 at the first of next month. I demonstrated it to the brass today and they were blown away. All they asked for was two changes and I admit I'm stumped. Hopefully someone here can help:
1 - Set Default Wallpaper for *all* users: I've written a script to copy our company wallpaper to "C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper" during a deployment. Is there any way I can modify that script to set that wallpaper as default for anyone who logs into that computer. Or if there's a non-script way to do this I'm all ears. I just need that wallpaper as default.
2 - Create a VPN Connection for our company intranet: Right now this is being done manually in the Network and Sharing Center. All they are doing is choosing "Set up a new connection or network" >> "Connect to a workplace" >> "Use my Internet Connection (VPN)" and just entering our VPN server IP Address and giving the connection a name. Surely there has to be a way to automate this with a script or something? Can anyone help?
3 - BONUS: This is just gravy, but if anyone can tell me how to "silently" or "automatically" disable the "Highlight newly installed programs" checkbox for all users using a script or something, that would be *wonderful*.
Can anyone help me here?

1. Go here http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2008/06/06/useful-script-number-5-adjusting-the-default-user-registry-hive.aspx . There is a script that will set your default wallpaper for you.
2. Does your company use a VPN client?
3. This option is set in the Registry. You could create a startup script or add this to your Task Sequence. Create the Dword and set it to 0 to disable highlighting.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Start_NotifyNewApps

Thanks for responding Rich,
1. I actually came across that script when I was poking around the Deployment guys forums, but I noticed that it did a lot more than just set the Wallpaper. I was trying to "keep it simple" plus the registry editing sort of made me nervous. I guess I can give it a go and see if it can be made to work for me.
2. Our company dos not use a VPN client. If you look back at my description of the process in bullet point #2 we are just using the Network and Sharing Center that is built into Windows 7 to create a simple VPN connection. That's why I'm so certain there has to be a way to automate this process. ll we are doing is entering an IP Address and giving the connection a name. Surely I can script that, or is there maybe some way to create the connection on one computer and save it as a file that I can then copy to each machine during my deployment?
3. Thanks for answering my bonus one too. Please forgive my ignorance because I am new to a lot of this. I assume I can create a "file" with the proper registry settings that can be applied during deployment right? I've seen people crate files that do this and use the .reg extension. Do you know how to make one of these or can you link me to a tutorial that steps me through it?
You could always edit the script to leave the other parts out. Thanks for the clarification on the VPN Client, just wanted to make absolutely sure. Let me know how if the process you found works for you.
For the reg key, you would want to create the key I described, add it to your scripts directory, and then add a Client Build Custom Task in StateRestore to set the key in the registry. You can do this by adding a RunLineCommand to the Task Sequence. Then the command would look like this
cmd /c regedit /s %deployroot%\scripts\NameOfRegKey.reghttp://deploywindows7.wordpress.com/

Setting default property value in custom componenty

I'm a Flash newbie trying to build a custom component using
Flash MX 2004. basically it's an enhanced version of the standard
label component. Everything seems to work fine except when trying
to set default text or assigning a text value in the "properties"
window (the field displays in the properties window, but any value
typed into it does not appear during movie playback). Currently,
the text can be seen only in authoring mode, not when the movie
plays. The only way for the text to displayed during playback is to
set it up through code. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? .as
file content follows.
class CustomComponents.FormFields.lblFieldLabel extends
MovieClip {
private var objFieldLabel:MovieClip;
private var strText:String = "";
function lblFieldLabel() {
init();
public function init():Void {
public function get displaytext():String {
return strText;
[Inspectable(defaultValue="display text", type="String")]
public function set displaytext(val:String):Void {
strText = val;
objFieldLabel.text = strText + ":";
}

Default customer type not set by default

hello,
we are having and issue with the "customer type" not being set by default.
When a new customer is created (when they make a purchase) I would like them to be set as “Retail Customer” as their customer type .
I have set the default customer type to be “retail customer” however this is not applied to the customer.
has anyone else struck this problem? is there a fix for this?
thanks in advance for the help.

This is as expected/normal behaviour.
If you create a column in a list that already has items it will not automatically set that column to the default option. Instead any pre-existing items will have a blank value until/unless the item is next edited. At that point you can chose a value but
it still will not populate with the default value.
That is deliberate as it may be entirely valid to have blank entries and so overwriting those would be much worse than leaving entries blank.

Is it possible to use an AppleScript to set a *custom* paper size in Word?

I've used the following script to set the paper size in Word:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
          set paper size of page setup of section 1 of active document to paper a4
end tell
but I've been unable to write a script to set a custom paper size -- does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!

The gallant Pierre strikes again!!! For reasons having to do with a quirk of working with Word documents coming from a Windows machine, I ended up having to go the UI route, but I couldn't have done it without you! I actually ended up changing the Format For: popup menu instead of the Paper Size: popup menu, but this technique could be used for those who wish to chose a custom paper size:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
          delay 0.5
keystroke "a" using command down
          tell application process "Microsoft Word"
                    click menu item "Page Setup..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
delay 1
click pop up button 3 of window "Page Setup"
keystroke "Any"
                    delay 0.5
keystroke return
                    delay 0.5
keystroke return
delay 1
                    click menu item "Print..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
delay 1
                    tell menu button "PDF" of window "Print"
click
                              click menu item "Create Booklet" of menu 1
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
Again, Pierre -- many thanks!
