"Smart Quotes" not consistent with imported text

I have a very long Pages document (400 pages). I wrote the text in an app called "Copy Write," exported the text to RTF, and pasted it into Pages for formatting and polish.
In Pages, some of the quotation marks and apostrophes are "smart" (curvy), while others are just plain dumb (straight).
I'm trying to fix the problem globally in Pages. Obviously, I don't want to hunt through thousands of punctuation marks and fix them manually.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Many thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this mob is genuine, somebody know?
If you had created the material in a program like *iText Pro '08* you would not have the problem in the first place.
Search and replace isn't that difficult: " "" = " “" and "" " = "” " then add trailing punctuation to match whatever you have in your text for a few extra sweeps.
I generally sweep for poorly placed spaces next to punctuation anyway, such as " ," " ." " !" " ?" " ;" & " :".
Also spaces next to tabs which push text out of line.
Programs like Quark Xpress and Adobe InDesign have Import and filters for this very reason. It would be good for Pages to follow suit. Whatever you do you will still need to sweep for mistakes afterwards.

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit...

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit 7.1.18.0 to my Nokia 5800
I am trying to import a csv file that contains text messages (Note that this file was created using PC Suit 7.1.18.0) to a subfolder that I have created to My Folders but PC Suits only imports the text messages to the Draft folder. Note that initially it shows that the messages are import in the correct folder but after a refresh it shows them in the Draft Folder. Is their any setting that I should change in the PC Suit or the phone? My computer runs on Windows XP Service Pack 3 and the Nokia 5800 was upgraded to the latest firmware v20.0.012
Thanks for your help

Most phones only allows importing of draft and archived box for SMS.
To do a restoring, you need to backup the SMS as a .nbu file using PC Suite and restore later.
If you got an SD card, you can also do a backup on the SD Card (backup.arc) then restore later (reset and restore: backup.arc and mmc).

After REFRESH the cached object is not consistent with the database table

After REFRESH, the cached object is not consistent with the database table. Why?
I created a JDBC connection with the Oracle database (HR schema) using JDeveloper(10.1.3) and then I created an offline database (HR schema)
in JDeveloper from the existing database tables (HR schema). Then I made some updates to the JOBS database table using SQL*Plus.
Then I returned to the JDeveloper tool and refreshed the HR connection. But I found no any changes made to the offline database table JOBS in
JDeveloper.
How to make the JDeveloper's offline tables to be synchronized with the underling database tables?

qkc,
Once you create an offline table, it's just a copy of a table definition as of the point in time you brought it in from the database. Refreshing the connection, as you describe it, just refreshes the database browser, and not any offline objects. If you want to syncrhnonize the offline table, right-click the offline table and choose "Generate or Reconcile Objects" to reconcile the object to the database. I just tried this in 10.1.3.3 (not the latest 10.1.3, I know), and it works properly.

Balance of S_ALR_87012168 and S_ALR_87012167 is not consistent with FBL5N

Dear all,
Could you kindly let me what's the reason that cause S_ALR_87012168 and S_ALR_87012167 is not consistent with FBL5N.
When view line item anlaysis the line item is the same with FBL5N, but in the first page of due / not due anlysi, the result is not the same?
Thanks bnd Best Regards.
CSY.

Hello
first thing you should do it is to run the programm SAPF190 if you don't activate NewLedger or TFC_COMPARE_VZ if new ledger is on.
These programms will check the index of the data and compare the amount between index and BSEG/FAGLFLEXA table.
Second point, do you check the analysis with all same option ?

"IP and router address not consistent with subnet mask"

Hi all,
i have one of the old Powermac G5's running os x 10.3.5 "Panther" with a dual 2.5ghz processor, 512mb or ram, 160 gig hd, and no wireless card. I've been trying to hook the computer up to my network via an Ethernet cable (I have a Linksys WRT54G series router).
the problem is this: When I go through the Network utilities using the "assist me" option, select the LAN option, put in the necessary information (IP address, subnet mask, router address, and the dns host), and select continue, this message pops up:"IP and router address not consistent with subnet mask".
What I've found is that no matter if the computer is plugged in with a cable to the Ethernet port the message comes up which is very unusual.
Thanks in advance.

Have you verified that you indeed have the proper subnet entered?
Why don't you just let the Mac obtain its ip address from the router via DHCP?

Colors not consistent with Snow Leopard 10.6 on an Eizo SX2761W monitor

I am unable to get any color consistency with Snow Leopard 10.6 on my Eizo SX2761W display.
Most of the actual "content" (i.e. images, videos, websites, etc.) is displayed very saturated and dark, much more saturated and dark than in 10.5.8. I presume that's because of Snow Leopard's new gamma value. The problem is, all of OS X's GUI elements, like the dock, icons and color labels in the finder, title bar buttons, etc. are not displayed in the same manner. These elements are all very desaturated, pale and grayish. NoMachine NX sessions running in X11 (via Rosetta) also have this desaturated look in Snow Leopard.
Here's a screenshot comparison I put together, that shows those color inconsistencies using the example of Mozilla's Firefox logo on the web in Safari, on the web in an NX session and as an icon in the Finder and in the Dock:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/7276/SnowLeopard-ColorsAndContrast.png (1 MB)
As far as I could test it, I get these color/contrast discrepancies only on the Eizo SX2761W monitor. I checked this on a classic Mac Pro and a late Mac mini with the same results. On a MacBook and its internal display Snow Leopard's colors seem consistent.
I tried to recalibrate the SX2761W profile, I tried out all the other standard color profiles available in Snow Leopard, I tried to copy my old profiles over from a Leopard backup, but I was unable to get rid of the display inconsistencies. After a whole day of trying and tinkering I went back to 10.5.8 to get a consistent color environment back.
Any ideas what's causing this and more importantly what to do about it? I have to say I'm at my wits end. The only thing I can think of is mailing this issue to Apple in the hope there will be a point release in the not too distant future that fixes the problem.

I have what I assume is the same problem. It just started today on my DELL WFP2407 - but remains even when switching to my MacBook Pro's built in screen.
The Dock, Safari, the desktop background - and probably other colour managed applications; all show very pale blue hues with over saturated red. Blue goes towards purple and other colours get muddled and pale. Oddly the Finder displays colours correctly on icons, but not the dock. I took a screenshot of Finder's Safari icon next to The Dock's:
http://www.nuxx.dk/hosting/paledock.png
- Clearly showing significant inconsistency... I just updated to 10.6.1 which didn't change anything.
Needless to say I tried calibrating a new colour profile to no effect, and seeing as the finder itself renders things just fine I'm not sure that's where the issue lies.
This is a huge problem for me, I hope there is a simple solution.

The rendered records are not consistent with the range

After changing the range with record navigator to render the records,
if navigate to other page and go back,the rendered records will not be
consistent with the record range.
The issue can be reproduced as follows.
1.when select 1-10 range,the first 10 records are rendered.
2.select [Next 10 records] to render the 11-13 records.
3.change to other page and return to the original page.
It is found that the 11-13 records are rendered but the range is 1-10.
You can verify the issue by executing SampleMainPG.xml of the Tutorial.jpr for 11.5.10.2
from Jdeveloper after changing the SampleMainCO.java as below.
* Layout and page setup logic for a region.
* @param pageContext the current OA page context
* @param webBean the web bean corresponding to the region
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
if (pageContext.getTransactionValue("link") != null)
OAAdvancedTableBean inner = (OAAdvancedTableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("InnerTable");
inner.clearCache(pageContext);
inner.setAttributeValue("CLEAR_CACHE_ONCE_NOEXECUTE_ATTR", Boolean.TRUE);
<==comment out these original source above.
OAAdvancedTableBean outer = (OAAdvancedTableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("OuterTable");
outer.queryData(pageContext, false);
<==add the two rows of source above to get the latest query data.
you should to make the records of the table fwk_tbx_employees to be more than 10 just using the SQL script below.
(just need to change EMPLOYEE_ID at your will)

it seems that if use the functions below,the issue can be workarounded.
But it is not clear whether there is any other impact from these functions.
innerTable1.clearCache(pageContext);
innerTable1.setAttributeValue("CLEAR_CACHE_ONCE_NOEXECUTE_ATTR", Boolean.TRUE);
Could you please share your idea?
Thank you very much in advance.

FYI. I was able to do what I wanted by first going to page properties and removing unwanted fonts from appearance. Then edit the page, select all, change style to normal, then select the text where you want to use a different style and change style there. This gives consistent appearance with both browsers.

Problem with imported text from quark

Hi everyone
I have imported files from quark version 4 off a mac to Indesign cs4 on a windows PC. everything is fine apart from the text being a little messed up so i am happy enough with that. The problem is that when i drag and drop or copy and paste into a new document all the images will move over but new text will not work with the images.
By this i mean that when i try to type something over or near the graphics the graphics just vanish! you can drag them over the image and they vanish, then when you drag them away again them reappear!
Also the shapes that i move over have a thin white border on them where as the shapes that i create directly do not have this boarder.
Any help that you cold give me on this would be great!
Thanks in advance!!
Sam

Thats it thank you!
There was a text wrap applied to all the graphics. its working perfectly now!!
Thank you again!!!

XML Publisher rtf output not consistent with the rtf created

I am using XML publisher to generate a custom report.
The approach I folllowed:
1) AM Class: Write the VO data to XMLNode using vo.writeXML() method
2) XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility: Create a data template and attach the xml created in step1 as "Preview Data"
3) XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility: Create a rtf template (contains images and text), attach the data template (step 2) and attach the rtf created.
4) Controller class: Use TemplateHelper.processTemplate() method, passing the rtf template and the XML data from VO.
5) Verify the rtf output in application.
Issues I am having are as follows:
1) Major issue is page format. I have saved my rtf file with a different page format as below:
     File->Page Setup->Paper->Width:255 pt
               ->Height:165 pt
     File->Page Setup->Margins->Top: 12 pt
                    ->Bottom: 0.1 pt
                    ->Left: 0.1 pt
                    ->Right: 12 pt
When I open my document from the application, the margins and page setup rtf output is not retained (as given in teh doc), hence my whole layout is disturbed.
Thus, I am getting a very weird layout when I open my rtf output from application.
How can I retain the page settings?
2) I added a image, and the size of the image also is not retained as well.
And if I set the layout wrapping style anything other than "In line with text", the image does not show up in the output.
Would greatly appreciate if someone can put some light on this.

RTF & PDF output can't be exact same, we can minimize the difference by eliminating all extra spaces(Ex: from table rows, in between form fields etc.) from RTF while generating RTF output.
For reference:
BUG:8662322 - RTF FORMAT DOES NOT SHOWS WITH FIXED HEIGHT OF ROW
Thanks,

Smart quotes not working in Pages 5.5.2

I'm unable to get smart quotes in Pages.
I'm on a 2009 iMac, using Yosemite 10.10.1, Pages 5.5.2
I've followed the instructions on Apple's page (http://help.apple.com/pages/mac/5.0/#/tanad45f9cce) to make all quotes smart quotes in my document and it didn't work.
When I opened Substitutions in Pages the box for smart quotes was ticked, unticking and reticking and doing 'replace all' made no difference.
Prior to this I'd just changed the font style setting for the document from Courier New to Times New Roman.
I've also checked in System Prefs/Keyboard/Text where 'Use smart quotes' is ticked.
I'm formatting a book, this is holding up production of my book as all quotes are non-curly, straight quotes and need to be changed to smart quotes.
I'm wondering whether I shouldn't go back to the previous version of Pages where everything seemed to work, including auto capitalisation.

Additionally re my first post above I've tested for smart quotes in MS Word 2008 and Mail 8.1 and they both support smart quotes. Word also converts between quote types.
I've had to create a workaround to get my Pages document showing smart quotes:
I tested smart quote support in Word by pasting a page from the Pages document into Word and then converting the straight quotes to curly quotes. which worked. I then copied that text and pasted it back into a new blank page in Pages, the smart quotes stayed curly. So, I'm about to copy and paste my whole book, 55,000+ words, into Word and convert quotes and then paste it back into Pages.
It seems like the smart quotes issue is Pages 5.5.2 specific and has been for quite some while.

Smart Talk not working with Bluetooth since update

I have been using Smart Talk for many months now on my iPhone. I have a bluetooth headset which I generally use.
This has worked fine (with the exception that when I get an incomming call it disconnects the bluetooth from the Smart Talk call).
But now, since installing version 1.28.0, Smart Talk is not working with my bluetooth headset at all. When I first make a call the headset is connected - I hear ringback tone. But as soon as the call is answered, the headset disconnects and the call is transferred to the iPhone itself. And the Smart Talk app does not give me any options to select the "audio source" (as it does if I make an ordinary mobile call).
As I almost exclusively use the headset, this latest update has made Smart Talk unusable for me.
Is there anyway I can get back to the previous version?

I worked out the problem... I'm using iPhone 4S iOS7
- Start BT Smart Talk from in car
- call someone, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, no bluetooth connection
- kill and restart BT Smart talk
- call someone, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, no bluetooth connection
3rd call, always no bluetooth.
It seems there is no way to select the output like with all other bluetooth devices too

Smart scan not working with Insert Select statements

We have observed that smart scan is not working with insert select statements but works when select statements are execute alone.
Can you please help us to explain this behavior?

There is a specific exadata forum - you would do better to post the question there: Exadata
I can't give you a definitive answer, but it's possible that this is simply a known limitation similar to the way that "Create table as select" won't run the select statement the same way as the basic select if it involves a distributed query.

Smart Groups not working with keywords?

I've gone through the various forum posts on Smart Groups (especially this one - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8649078&#8649078) but still haven't found an answer to this problem.
After importing my test files into my local iTunes install, I used the "Get Info" method to edit the metadata for those files. At this time, I put a series of keywords in the "grouping" field. I then uploaded these test files to our iTunes U site.
When I search for those keywords on our site, I get the results that I expect to get. However, when I try to create a Smart Group based on any of those keywords, I get no results. I waited for a few days, hoping that the indexing would catch up and yield more search results - but that didn't seem to fix the problem. The documentation states that Smart Groups should work with keywords... so is there something I'm missing here?
Any thoughts would be very helpful.

Duncan, thanks for responding to me quickly.
I'm confused where the keyword field is, though. I don't know of a keyword field using the "Get Info" method of editing the file's metadata on the local iTunes install, and the guide is unclear about where that field is or how to add information into it.
On this page (http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/AppleEducation-iTunesUUsersGuide/UsingiTunesUSe arch/chapter10_section2.html), it mentions the following method for adding keywords for iTunes U:
"To add additional keywords for iTunes U to search:
1. Control-click the track where you want to add keywords, then choose Get Info from the shortcut menu that appears.
2. Click the Info tab.
3. Add keywords to the Grouping field. When searching your iTunes U site, after a track title, keywords in the Grouping field have the second-highest matching relevance.
4. Click OK."
This is the method that I've been using, since it seems to say that any words added to the "Grouping" field on the local install get read as keywords by iTunes U. Is there another way to add keywords to a file that I'm missing?
