Some text on page re-sizes

I have a page on my website that basically has two columns of text. The text is the same in both columns, but for some reason the text on the right column seems to re-size itself after the page loads.
What is most weird however, is that while the page is loading (if you are on a slightly slower connection) the text is the same size, but when the page finishes it seems to get slightly resized.
http://www.dynamicinterplay.com is my website and the page in questions i the music page.
Anyone have any advice on this?

I have experienced this too, not sure what causes it. Cyclosaurus suggested to me it might have something to do with a "tinytext" tag often added by iWeb. Oh well...

I'm getting a tiny little square box with a cross in the middle on some of my Pages documents. How do I get rid of it? It's where I've got a text box.

Why is this tiny little box, less than quarter inch in size, appearing in some of my Pages designs? It has a + in the middle of it.

The cross indicates an overflow of text. Increase the size of the box as needed. Since you didn't indicate that some of the text is missing it may just be an invisible character or that a little more space is needed below the text.

You can't. PS will always rasterize a PDF and as a result when saving you effectively save a pixel image that will almost always be larger than the original.

I did a COPY of some text from a web page, and then did a PASTE into notepad.exe (Windows). The text from each line was duplicated -- on the line! Instead of "Fred", it became "Fred Fred".

I just recently installed Firefox for the first time. It seems nice and quick. The version is reported as: "10.0.1".
I wanted to save some text from a web page, so navigated to that page, selected the text, and pressed the Control-C combination to COPY the selected text to the buffer. For example, the text I selected looked something like this:
Harry
Ron
Hermione
Hagrid
Albus
NOTE: Each line of text has a small icon to the left of the text.
It is not reasonable to COPY and PASTE each line individually, as there can be hundreds of lines of data. I recall, however, that
doing a COPY and PASTE on this data into Microsoft's Excel will produce cells which have the icons included in the cell, but unfortunately one cannot can't get rid of them! At least I've never found a way to remove them, but that's another issue. :)
Once I'd done the COPY operation I switched to a Notepad window and did a PASTE operation. To my surprise, the text from each line was duplicated. It looked like this:
Harry Harry
Ron Ron
Hermione Hermione
Hagrid Hagrid
Albus Albus
Thinking that there might be something unusual about the web page I looked at the source, but it appeared "normal" -- that is, as expected.
Note: I have done this operation several times before, and have never seen this occur before.
Note: In the actual data some of the lines have quoted text in them. Curiously there is weird behavior on these lines. In some cases the entire line is shown only once. (These occur at the top of the line, and the quoted text is at the beginning of the name.)
When quoted text appears "later" in the name, in some cases the quoted text is duplicated, and in other cases the quoted text is missing altogether! I have also noticed an error with the quoted text, and so will be reporting that to the web site which generates the HTML.
Note that each line of "text" is "anchor text", so if I click on a name the browser navigates to a page for that name.
I believe that the problem is that the COPY operating in Firefox is not simply copying the visible text, but also the ALT=
Below is a sample of what the source HTML looks like:
<a class="lnk" target="_blank" href="http://details.aspx?id=Harry">
<img width="16" height="16" alt="Harry" class="tb_icon" src="http://.../Harry.gif"/>
<span>Harry</span></a>
<br/>
(Because of the true length of the lines in the source HTML, I have stripped out the actual URL of the site.)
To make sure I wasn't imaging this difference I repeated the process within Internet Explorer. In that browser I did not get duplicated data.

In ALV I want to align Top-Of-Page in Center which contains some TEXT

Hi Abap Gurus',
In ALV's i want to align TOP-OF-PAGE in center.
Which contains some TEXT.
Can you please help me out.
Points will be Given.
Many thanks
Anil Roy.

hi anil
The header line is always left-justified .
We basically have three options for formatting :
S , A and H.
every line in Alv top-of-page is of 60 char length(slis_listheader-info).so i think the only option we have is to add required spaces to the left and display the required string

Best way to determine optimal font size given some text in a rectangle

Hi Folks,
I have a preview panel in which I am showing some text for the current selected date using a date format.
I want to increase the size of the applied font so that it scales nicely when the panel in which it is drawn is resized.
I want to know the best way in terms of performance to achieve the target. I did some reading about AffineTransform and determining by checking ina loop which is the correct size, but it does not feel like a good way.
I would appreciate some tips.
Cheers.

Open a page by Firefox 5.0 then copy some texts. Close the Firefox. Try to paste texts somewhere else. Firefox can't keep data alive in windows XP clipboard...

As I've already asked
Why Firefox 5.0 can't keep data alive in Windows XP pro + SP3 ?
Just test it as follows:
1- Open a page by Firefox 5.0
2- Copy some texts
3- Close the Firefox 5.0
4- Try to paste texts somewhere else (notepad, etc.)
There is no data in clipboard if you close the Firefox 5.0

Thank you for your suggestion. I have Sync enabled for all the profiles. To my surprise, however, Sync was of no use in getting Default's extension collection into Shopping. For that I had to resort to the article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox.

How to reformat a text in Pages?

Does anybody know how to " clear format" a text in Pages? You can do in Word. Thanks a lot.

Happily, Pages isn’t a clone of Word.
It’s not supposed to replicate its features.
Here is a slightly modified version of a script posted about a month ago.
Open the Pages Word Processing document to treat then apply the script.
As it was written as a demo of what may be done, you will have to edit some instructions to get the exact wanted format (mainly those applying colors).
--{code}
--[SCRIPT clear_Pages_format]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : clear_Pages_format.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Ouvrez un document traitement de texte de Pages.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Pages puis choisir “clear_Pages_format”
Le script appliquera la police Courier et quelques autres attributs au texte du document.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: clear_Pages_format.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Open a Pages Word Processing document.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Pages, then choose “clear_Pages_format”
The script will apply the font Courier and some other attributes to the embedded text.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

Reducing pages file size

Hi,
I've googled around on the question of pages having large file sizes, but the discussion centres around documents that have images. I'm wondering if anyone knows why an identical text only document saved in Pages is so much larger than say one saved in MS Word or Neoffice.
e.g. on an identical 2 page document :-
1. Just save as Pages document = 225kb
2. Untick the "Include preview page" box in save menu & it is reduced to 131kb
3. Save copy as Word document & it is the more familiar 41kb size.
Are there any other settings to reduce the size of a simple text document down to something comparable to Word. I realise I'm talking about small size examples, but if I start saving 100's of files that are 20 or 30 pages in size, it all starts to add up.
thanks,
Terry

An other explanation may be the way Pages store characters.
Most of the characters available in the old ASCII set are stored as is using a single byte.
Some of them "&" for instance are stored as a descriptive string requiring several bytes.
& is stored as &
Every other characters require six to eight bytes.
é is stored as é
œ is stored as œ
ᴂ is stored as ᴂ

A white line in on some of the pages

Hello, i am making this site as a hobby so im not so professional at DW.
But i have this white line thru some of the pages of the site.
On some monitors it doens't show.
I sliced the image and somewhere there is a fault in it and i can't figure it out...(it drives me nuts!!)
Pls help. How can i fix this?
http://www.hummeltieshonk.nl/depeuterspeelzaal.html
Its on the lower left side.
TY Karin

Conditional Comments are not the solution here. When I increase text size (zoom, text only) in my browsers IE, FF or Safari, the page falls apart with a noticeable white gap on the left side and an artifact on the right. This happens because the table row is being stretched to accommodate content in the middle cell. You may need to re-think your design strategy. Use solid background colors. Use real text links in the left navigation column instead of image slices, etc...

Black browser background results in black field ot top of some of the pages

Even if top margin is set to zero, a black field is appearing on top of some of my pages. This field may vary in size.
Examples:
Compare:
http://www.uib.no/people/mbloh/Velkommen.html
to:
http://www.uib.no/people/mbloh/Cave.html
Or go to the archive (arkiv) on the blog (Tidende), and have a look at the older postings. The error seem to accumulate over time.
The only way to fix this is to make a new page, and then copy the content from the erratic page over to this, and delete the old one. Then everything looks fine for a while, before it may again start to show this erratic behaviour.
The template I've used is the White one.
What could be causing this?
Regards,
Ole Horvli

Ole Horvli,
This effect may have something to do with the "Content Height" that is set in the Inspector Page tab. The Content Height is usually set to some number like 500 by default. You can see exactly where this limit is if you select under the View menu "Show Layout". You will see the Footer which is at the bottom of the page and the the next adjacent space is the "Content" space. As you adjust this number, the Content bar will move.
Usually, the Content space is dynamic....As you add content or text or whatever, you will see the Footer content automatically move down...Try dragging a text box down your page and you will see the effect. But once you get your page set the way it is going to be, I would suggest that you adjust the value for "Content Height" such that it actually "fits" the content that is present. This will eliminate the variability of browser display when you publish the page...In effect you are "reserving" the entire space leaving no room for browser adjustment. If we all had huge vertical monitors, you could see the effect as you dragged the browser window larger and larger vertically.
If you find this information useful, please take the time to provide me with feedback by marking my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using those little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. I'd really appreciate it!

Highlighting Text In Pages 4 and 5: How To/Best Methods?

Hello Fellow Macers:
I need advice on the best way to highlight text in Pages 4 and 5:
I use and prefer Pages 4.3. Yes, I have Pages 5.2, and I find that using it good for some things (dictating into a document), but not so good for others - highlighting text.
For example, I read tons of documents and like to make notes, comments and especially highlight text according to a color-code scheme that I have used for years.
For those who use Word, this process of highlighting text is pretty straight-forward:
You highlight your text and then simply click your highlight box on the Word toolbar (choose a default color, usually yellow) and you're done. If you need to use another color, just use the pull-down, as seen above. The drawback in Word - no Orange, or sectrum option.
But let's face it - Word as a program is just too much. As someone who has used every word processing program under the sun, I find Pages excellent. It does what I need.
However, I find highlighting text in Pages clumsy. Here's what I need to do to highlight text in Pages 4.3:
Go to your toolbar, and then choose a highlight/background color. It's more labor intensive then Word, above, but you do have the option of more colors.
Then there's this method, where basically you get to simply use yellow as your color:
IMHO both are clumsy methods compared to Word, but have become even more so in Pages 5.2....
Lots of clicks to achieve simple color highlights.
Am I missing something, or is there a simpler way, in either Pages 4 or Pages 5, to achieve the above results???
Any suggestions appreciated!

Dear VikingOSX:
As Ed MacMahon once said (before your time?) re Pages 5 Character Fill Color: "You are correct, sir!!"
The gear icon IS where the function that I'm talking about is located. Still, it's annoying.
Q: Why?
A: Because from a work-flow perspective as someone who is highlighting it makes no sense. We in the Western world read and write from top to bottom, left to right. Making a mark on a doc should follow the same flow.
You should not have to keep looking over to the right side of the doc to find your function. Logically it should be at the top (e.g., toolbar), on the left, or perhaps some contextual pop-up option.
Furthermore, it's more "labor intensive" from this point of view: In Word, once you set the color (which, granted, you may need to change from time to time IF you, like me, use multiple colors as part of your highlighting workflow), you just click the box after highlighting the text - 1 click vs 2, and possibly 3.
The "richer color" part of my comment was just to note that a flaw, in my view, of Word's basic scheme is that:
1) It lacks an Orange. And we've all used an Orange highlighter at somepoint, right? Or perhaps, you were like me in High School and threw them instead. But you get the point...and
2) Having a wider pallatte available as an option - which you do in Apple's scheme - is nice. I use color coding/highlighting to make notes and save time. The colors tell me what's important, what's next important, key terms, etc. Also, for example, if I wanted to outline my highlighting notes, the color scheme (which has a heirarchy based on color, right?) allows me to do this quickly because it's already there.
As for the Dictation function working on Pages '09/4.3 - again, you are correct, sir! And that's great to know. I had tried to use it before when the new Pages 5 (hitting fn twice on Pages 4.3) but it didn't activate. I tried it after reading your response and Bingo! It's Alive! So thanks for that tip.
Your keyboard shortcut scheme is an interesting idea, and I may try it as an experiment. My intuition is that it will not work as straight-forwardly as Word's toolbar pull-down will, but I might be wrong. We'll see.
And yes, I do use Pages '09 (4.3) instead of Pages 5 for exactly this reason (see my discussion)
Great reply! Thanks!

Index file increase with no corresponding increase in block numbers or Pag file size

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and/or can help explain why it is happening....
I have a BSO cube fronted by a Hyperion Planning app, in version 11.1.2.1.000
The cube is in it's infancy, but already contains 24M blocks, with a PAG file size of 12GB. We expect this to grow fairly rapidly over the next 12 months or so.
After performing a simple Agg of aggregating sparse dimensions, the Index file sits at 1.6GB.
When I then perform a dense restructure, the index file reduces to 0.6GB. The PAG file remains around 12GB (a minor reduction of 0.4GB occurs). The number of blocks remains exactly the same.
If I then run the Agg script again, the number of blocks again remains exactly the same, the PAG file increases by about 0.4GB, but the index file size leaps back to 1.6GB.
If I then immediately re-run the Agg script, the # blocks still remains the same, the PAG file increases marginally (less than 0.1GB) and the Index remains exactly the same at 1.6GB.
Subsequent passes of the Agg script have the same effect - a slight increase in the PAG file only.
Performing another dense restructure reverts the Index file to 0.6GB (exactly the same number of bytes as before).
I have tried running the Aggs using parallel calcs, and also as in series (ie single thread) and get exactly the same results.
I figured there must be some kind of fragmentation happening on the Index, but can't think of a way to prove it. At all stages of the above test, the Average Clustering Ratio remains at 1.00, but I believe this just relates to the data, rather than the Index.
After a bit of research, it seems older versions of Essbase used to suffer from this Index 'leakage', but that it was fixed way before 11.1.2.1.
I also found the following thread which indicates that the Index tags may be duplicated during a calc to allow a read of the data during the calc;
http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1038502076/1038565646/index+file+size+grows+with+same+data+-
However, even if all the Index tags are duplicated, I would expect the maximum growth of the Index file to be 100%, right? But I am getting more than 160% growth (1.6GB / 0.6GB).
And what I haven't mentioned is that I am only aggregating a subset of the database, as my Agg script fixes on only certain members of my non-aggregating sparse dimensions (ie only 1 Scenario & Version)
The Index file growth in itself is not a problem. But the knock-on effect is that calc times increase - if I run back-to-back Aggs as above, the 2nd Agg calc takes 20% longer than the 1st. And with the expected growth of the model, this will likely get much worse.
Anyone have any explanation as to what is occurring, and how to prevent it...?
Happy to add any other details that might help with troubleshooting, but thought I'd see if I get any bites first.
The only other thing I think worth pointing out at this stage is that we have made the cube Direct I/O for performance reasons. I don't have much prior exposure to Direct I/O so don't know whether this could be contributing to the problem.
Thanks for reading.

I haven't tried Direct I/O for quite a while, but I never got it to work properly. Not exactly the same issue that you have, but it would spawn tons of .pag files in the past. You might try duplicating your cube, changing it to buffered I/O, and run the same processes and see if it does the same thing.

How do I change the background color of text in Pages quickly?

I know that I can highight the words with my cursor, then press the little "a" in the toolbar, then select the color I want. However, I have to hihglight a ton of separate sentences in documents that have a few hundred pages.
Is there a shortcut for changing the background behind the words to a specific color? Or is there a way to do it with just one click? I don't want to have to carefully select the color I want each time. I just need one color, and I'd like to be able to set it easily.

Thanks, didn't even know about the styles drawer.
In summary for others...
Perform the background change on some text, and put the cursor on the text (click the text).
Command+Shift+T to bring up style drawer.
Click and hold the "+" button and click on "Add new Character Style" from selection.
Click on the arrow beside "Include these character attributes."
Deselect all of the attributes except for the "Fill."
Change the name to "Highlight Yellow" or whatever.
Then whenever you click on it in the styles drawer, it will apply the fill.

Some text on page re-sizes
