Setting tabs issue

InDesign - Trying to set tabs - opened new document, inserted rectangular frame, clicked type tool into document, and placed text into space (restaurant menu text).  Showed hidden characters (type menu) and opened tab panel.  Tab panel is unresponsive.  If I highlight a word, then click on left aligned tab and then click the tab panel ruler, nothing happens. Leads don't work either. Any assistance is appreciated

  • In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the Paragraph Designer.

    In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the paragraph designer. Here are the steps to dysfunction:
    1. In Paragraph Designer, for Tab Stops, click Edit. Edit Tab Stop dialog box opens, and the Paragraph Designer dialog box closes.
    2. Type value in New Position box.
    3. Click Continue. The Edit Tab Stop box closes.
    4. Open Paragraph Designer. No tabs are recorded.
    Discussion of a similar problem occured on this forum in June 2010. At that time, the resolution seemed to be to upgrade to 9.0.3. Has anyone else encountered this problem with these versions?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Arnis,
    Brilliant! Thanks so much. I only looked at the later discussions of that thread, which seemed to indicate the problem would be solved by an upgrade to 9.0.3.

  • How to set tabbing order in Acrobat X Pro

    I cannot find any instructions for manually setting tabbing order in Acrobat X Pro.  It does not work the same as earlier versions of Acrobat Pro.  Any idea as to where I can go for instructions for X Pro?

    Thank you for the quick response!  I found instructions for the Pro 9 version, so followed that and it worked like a charm.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • About setting tab order in Acrobat Pro X

    I'm really disappointed in the way you changed how I set tab order in Acrobat Pro X. I work with a lot of forms with multiple fields. Some of these forms have up to 100 different fields on one page that need to be in the order I set. In previous versions, I could set this order simply by clicking on the fields in the correct order I want. But with X, I have to drag each field one by one into the correct order. When you have a bunch of fields to set, this is tedious. And, when I click on a field to edit content, more times than not, it changes the tab order, and I'm back to finding it in the panel and dragging it back to it's correct place. This is time consuming. Not to mention when there are more fields than the monitor's height, the fields are scrolled in the panel.
    So, please do something to give me the option to set tab order like in previous versions, and once they are set, leave them where they are. Or am I doing something wrong?

    You're not doing anything wrong, it really sucks. But things are improved significantly with Acrobat 11. First, there's a preference setting that prevents the automatic reordering that can happen when fields are moved/edited. Second, you are able to select and move multiple fields at a time in the fields panel, which can speed things up considerably. It's still not as efficient as the old method, but at least it has finally been addressed. I think this feature alone is worth the upgrade price for the amount of time it will save and the beneficial effects on stress, blood pressure, and hair loss.

  • Set tabs in Paragraph Style

    Hi, i am creating paragraph Styles in JavaScript. I looked but found absolutely no info about setting tabs in a paragraph style.
    Am i too tired? Can someone point me in the right direction please?
    Thanks
    Ben

    I have made two InDesign scripts, one that deletes all TabStops from all ParagraphStyles of a Document and one that adds TabStops to all ParagraphStyles of a Document.
    var oDoc = app.documents.item(0);
    // First delete all tabstops
    deleteTabStops(oDoc);
    var iNumberOfTabsToAdd = 3;
    var iTabDistance = 5;
    // Then add tabstops
    addTabStops(oDoc, iNumberOfTabsToAdd, iTabDistance);
    function deleteTabStops(oDocument)
         var iNumberOfParagraphStyles = oDocument.paragraphStyles.length;
         for (var iParagraphStyleItem = 0; iParagraphStyleItem < iNumberOfParagraphStyles; iParagraphStyleItem++) {
              var oParagraphStyle = oDoc.paragraphStyles.item(iParagraphStyleItem);
              if (oParagraphStyle != null) {
                   var iNumberOfTabStops = parseInt(oParagraphStyle.tabStops.length);
                   if (iNumberOfTabStops > 0) {
                        var iLastTabStop = parseInt(iNumberOfTabStops - 1);
                        for (var iLastTabStopItem = iLastTabStop; iLastTabStopItem >= 0; iLastTabStopItem--) {
                             var oTabStop = oParagraphStyle.tabStops.item(iLastTabStopItem);
                             if (oTabStop != null) {
                                  oTabStop.remove();
    function addTabStops(oDocument, iNumberOfTabsToAdd, iTabDistance)
         var iNumberOfParagraphStyles = oDocument.paragraphStyles.length;
         for (var iParagraphStyleItem = 0; iParagraphStyleItem < iNumberOfParagraphStyles; iParagraphStyleItem++) {
              var oParagraphStyle = oDoc.paragraphStyles.item(iParagraphStyleItem);
              if (oParagraphStyle != null && iParagraphStyleItem > 0) {
                   for (iTabNumber = 1; iTabNumber <= iNumberOfTabsToAdd; iTabNumber++) {
                        var sPosition = parseInt(iTabDistance * iTabNumber) + 'mm';
                        var oTabStop = oParagraphStyle.tabStops.add();
                        oTabStop.alignment = TabStopAlignment.CENTER_ALIGN;
                        oTabStop.leader = '';
                        oTabStop.position = sPosition;
    I hope this helps you further.

  • Backend Operation for OK button of Data Set tab of Data Definition

    Hello everyone,
    Please let me know what happens at backend when we click on OK button Data Set tab of Data Definition in Unifier !
    Cheers,
    Gagan

    To only select the first 100 records is rather easy.  Use the addition on your select statement "UP TO X ROWS".  This will only select the first X number of entries for your condition or if you simply say SELECT from any table.  To keep selecting the next 100 could be a bit of a pain, I honestly do not have an exact idea of how to accomplish that.<br><br>However, I would suggest looking into keeping an internal counter, but for purposes of efficiency you would have to start your selection of rows at the last record of the 100.  Perhaps it is best to look into ways of buffering this table before you start doing your selections out of it.  This would be useful if the application will be used a lot.

  • Unable to set tabbing order for a typedef

    Attached is a .CTL file that is for a typedef in my project. I'd like to set the tabbing order. I'm using the "Array to Cluster" VI (is it a VI?) to fill it with data, however because the controls are not in the correct order, the data is no being put in the right place. When I edit my CTL, Edit|Set Tabbing Order is greyed out. Why is this and how do I fix it?
    See my attached file.

  • Is Set Tab Order Broken in Acrobat 8.x Pro?

    I can't seem to get it to work. Even when the automatic tab order setting is done and it is numbered correctly, when I switch to Preview and also save/close/re-open in Preview, the tab order is what it was before. When I go to Edit Layout, the tab ordering numbering shows correctly for all fields, but back in Preview, it goes out of whack in the same way.

    Yes, I had already tried saving and even closing and re-opening. The Set Tab Order interface does not even operate in a fashion the user would expect. When replying to the alert question about automatic vs. manual setting of the interface, then randomly clicking fields, at one point the order stops changing once a field is selected. A text field becomes the LAST numerical field when it is selected, rather than starting at one and proceeding in ordinal fashion.
    I am convinced that this feature is bug-ridden based on my attempts to work with it and given the numerous posts "commenting" on this very feature.

  • Threadinar10 - Page Separator, Page Fragment Box , Tab Set & Tab Components

    Hi All,
    This is the tenth in the Threadinar series. See the Components Threadinar Index at http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=103424 for the complete list to date.
    This Threadinar will discuss 4 components in the "Components Palette: Layout Section" section of the Creator Component Catalog.
    The components we will focus on today are
    "Page Separator", "Page Fragment Box" , "Tab Set" & "Tab" Components.
    Let us begin our discussion with the "Page Separator" Component.
    Page Separator Component
    You can drag the Page Separator component from the Palette's Layout category to the Visual Designer to create a horizontal line that resizes to any page width selected by the user. This component is the visual equivalent of an HTML <hr> tag.
    In the page bean, a Page Separator component is a PageSeparator object.
    * Note: If you want to use an HTML <hr> tag, drop a Meta component on the page and set its tag property to hr.
    [b]Page Fragment Box Component
    This component enables you to include a page fragment in a page. A page fragment is a separate, reusable part of a page that can be included in any number of pages. For example, you might want to put a common a visual element like a header graphic in a page fragment and then include it in all the pages in an application.
    When you drag the Page Fragment Box component from the Layout category of the Palette and drop it on a page, the Select Page Fragment dialog box prompts you for the name of the page fragment to be included. You can enter the name of an existing page fragment or create a new page fragment. If you create a new page fragment, the IDE gives the new fragment a .jspf file suffix and creates a node for it in the Projects window, as well as adding the page fragment to the Outline window.
    * Note: A Page Fragment Box component simply includes a page fragment in a page. Deleting a Page Fragment Box component from a page does not delete the page fragment itself, even if you originally used the Select Page Fragment dialog box to create the page fragment.
    After dropping a Page Fragment Box component on the page, if you click inside the component, you see the properties for the included fragment. If you click the border of the component, you see the properties for the enclosing <div> block. You can also use the Outline window to select the enclosing block, the page fragment, or the components in the page fragment. In the Outline window, the Page Fragment Box component is represented by a node named directive.include:fragment-file.jspf, where fragment-file is the name of the page fragment file.
    If you double-click the page fragment, it opens as a page in the Visual Editor, enabling you to edit it like a regular page. The page fragment has an associated JavaBeans object, a page fragment bean, which you can edit by clicking the Java button at the top of the page fragment when it is open in the Visual Editor. As with a regular page, if you drop a component like a button in a fragment, double clicking adds an event handler in the page fragment bean, enabling you to reuse the code on any page to which you add the page fragment. A common scenario for reusing component code would be a Search Box fragment that has a search Label, a Text Field where the user enters the search string, some Inline Help, and search logic code in the page fragment bean.
    * The tab order of the components in the page is unlikely to work properly unless you enclose the entire page fragment box in the Faces Verbatim component.
    For more details see tutorial : "Using Page Fragments"
    http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/pagefragments.html
    [b]Tab Set Component
    The Tab Set component in the Palette's Layout category is a container for a set of Tab components. Typical uses of a tab set are:
    * To provide alternate sets of components on the same page and enable the user to navigate to them by clicking on tabs. The user sees only the components under the currently selected tab. For more information on adding components to tabs, see Tab Component.
    * To navigate among a set of pages. If you use a tab set this way, you would usually have the tab set near the top of each page with the component's width set at 100%. You would use the Page Navigation editor to define each tab to display a page in the application, with the current page's tab set as the selected tab. In addition, you would need to delete the default Layout Panel component under each tab so the tab would display the page contents.
    You can set Tab Set properties in the component's Properties window.
    A Tab Set component contains Tab Components, and Tab components can contain other Tab components. You can see these components displayed as hierarchical nodes in the Outline window after you add a Tab Set to your page.
    You can add a new tab to a tab set in two ways, by right-clicking the Tab Set component and choosing Add Tab or by dropping a new tab component on the Tab Set or on a Tab component.
    You can drop a new tab component on a tab set in the Visual Designer to the right or left of existing tabs to create a new tab at that level. The tabs in a tab set can also be containers for other tabs. If you drop a Tab component on an existing tab, the new tab becomes a child of the tab on which you dropped it. The maximum number of levels for tabs is three.
    The tab set component determines which tab is rendered as selected, storing the value in the selected property. By default, the selected property is set to the first tab created for the component. If you click a tab while designing your web page, that tab becomes the selected tab. You can tell during design time that a tab is selected because its color changes.
    [b]Tab Component
    A Tab is part of a Tab Set component. You can add a new tab to a tab set in two ways, by right-clicking the Tab Set component and choosing Add Tab or by dragging a new Tab component from the Layout category of the Palette and dropping it on the Tab Set or on another Tab component. You can also drag from the Palette and drop the tab on the tab set's nodes in the Outline window.
    * If you drop the Tab component to the left or right of an existing tab, it is added to the same row of tabs.
    * If you drop the Tab component on an existing tab, the dropped tab becomes a child tab of the tab on which you drop it unless the existing tab is a third level tab. You can have at most three levels of tabs in a tab set.
    o Note: You cannot add a child tab to a tab that has components in its Layout Panel. When you drop a tab on an existing tab component that has an empty Layout Panel, the empty Layout Panel is deleted to make room for the dropped tab.
    By default, a Tab component has a Layout Panel below it where you can drop components that will be displayed when the user selects the tab. The Layout Panel by default has its panelLayout property set to Grid Layout, meaning that components dropped on the panel are aligned at the location where they are dropped. You can change the layout behavior by setting the panelLayout property to Flow Layout, which aligns dropped components left to right in rows. For more information on Layout Panel properties, see Layout Panel Component Properties Window.
    To select a tab in a tab set, either click the Tab component on the page or select the Tab component's node in the Outline window. To select the whole tab set, either click the border of the Tab Set component on the page or select the tab set's node in the Outline window. Alternatively, you can select a Tab component and either press Escape or right-click and choose Select Parent to select its parent component.
    * Note: If you select a tab on a page in the Visual Designer, a side effect is that it becomes the selected tab. If this effect is not what you want, select the tab in the Outline window so you can set its properties.
    You can drag tabs in the Outline window to change their location and level in the tab set.
    Some typical uses of tabs:
    * You can drop components on the Layout Panel component below a tab to enable a set of components to be displayed below each tab. When the user selects a tab, they see only the components that are associated with the tab, without having to change pages.
    * You can use a tab set to navigate among a set of pages. Each tab component links to a page in your web application. You would use the Page Navigation editor to define each tab to display a page in the application, with the current page's tab set as the selected tab. If you want to use the tab set for page navigation, be sure to delete each tab component's Layout Panel.
    You can also right-click the Tab component and choose one of the following options:
    * Edit action Event Handler. Code the action event handler, the method that is called when the user clicks the tab. This method determines which page or resource to open based on specified conditions. The action method typically processes mouse clicks and returns a string indicating the name of a page navigation case (the page in your application to display next). The default name for the method is tab-id_action, where tab-id is the value of the tab's id property.
    * Bind to Data. Dynamically set the text that appears on the tab. You can bind the component's text property to an object or a data provider, as described in the topic Bind to Data Dialog Box.
    * Property Bindings. Opens a dialog box that enables you to bind properties of the component in addition to the text property to other objects or bean properties that update this component's properties automatically.

    Thank you for your participation

    The following blog has a mini tutorial on using a tab set in a page fragment for page navigation:
    http://blogs.sun.com/divas/entry/tabbing_thru_the_tulips
    A reader commented that the mini tutorial needed to be improved upon to show how to keep the tab state and navigation state in synch.
    How would you do it? If you have a good example, maybe post it to this thread.
    Also, there is no tab tutorial but it is on the priority list. What would you like a tab tutorial to show how to do?

  • Set tab order by clicking fields, how?

    Ive done it before but cant figure out how I got to it.  The presets for "by row", "by column", etc... and arranging using the view on the left panel are not working easily for me and it would just be so much quicker and easier if I could just click the fields in the order I want the tabbing to go.  How do you get to that function?

    Thanks for the caution.  If folks do try this dual install and they get bad results or "buggy" performance, they should uninstall V5. Optionally, keep an old machine running V5 just to set tab order.  Recently, we set row/column mixed tab order on a form with 600 fields. Ten minutes vs hours of tedious work locating and dragging fields up and down the column.
    We did have a conflict last month when we were intalling PitStop on a V5/V9 machine.  PitStop complained about V5 and wouldn't install. We removed V5, installed PitStop and reinstalled V5 and it all works like a charm.
    Down in the trade-shop trenches we have to produce forms efficiently to bid competitively. We experiment with many techniques to save time. Naturally, we cannot expect to get Acrobat support with our violating, multi-version setup, but this is a small sacrifice because our experience with "support" is that they really aren't fluent in deep product usage. 

  • Can't view the setting tab to edit

    I have WRT54GS I can't view the setting tab to check or change. It seem the tabs are light in color and I click on them. I did have a virius which I got rid of. I have removed the linksys software and re installed it the same problem.

    Let me know of which setting tab that you want to check or change? Secondly which Linksys software that you reinstalled… Once reset the Router, power cycle the whole network and reconfigure it … For the reconfiguration of the Router, let me know the name of the ISP (Internet Service Provider) or the connection type that you are using means it is a Cable Connection or DSL connection?
    So if you have a DSL connection you can refer to this link:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=4020&userrole=Linksy...
    So if you have a Cable Internet Connection you can refer to this link:
    http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&vw=1&articleid=3686
    So after configuration check whether you can see the tab that you are looking for…

  • HT4111 while using my aftermarket (Brookstone) IPAD 2 key board the circular search icon never stops moving (setting tab, "Bluetooth" connect)...is that because the Bluetooth is always in the "search" mode while the keypad is in use?

    while using my aftermarket (Brookstone) IPAD 2 key board the circular search icon never stops moving (setting tab, "Bluetooth" connect)...is that because the Bluetooth is always in the "search" mode while the keypad is in use?

    This is the same experience I see with both my iPad and iPhone.  Doesn't seem to cause battery drain, so I just don't worry about it.  My bluetooth devices work and if yours do as well, just don't worry about it.
