Suddenly I am unable to insert characters and symbols.

I frequently need to use foreign language accents. Today I found that Insert would not allow me to access characters and symbols. How can I restore these?

You must compose messages in HTML format in order for the Insert/Character & Symbols command to be available.

Are you using the Word Report Generation instrument? You can find it in toolslib\activex\word\wordreport.fp under the CVI directory.
The instrument comes with a sample project that shows how to include table and graphs in a Word document: see samples\activex\word\wordrpt.cws in the samples foder of your CVI installation.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Unable to insert characters in pages

I recently upgraded to Lion and have found it impossible to insert characters into documents with Pages'09. When I was running Snow Leopard, I used to be able to open the Character Viewer and select the character or symbol I wanted to use and click the insert button. But now the INSERT BUTTON has been removed and I don't know how to insert characters or symbols using Lion. Can someone help?

I've done the double click, copy and paste method and it works. But everytime I use that method, after I insert the character/symbol, I also get two lines of code that shows up. Is there any way to fix this?
When you double-click on the character, it will be inserted into your document wherever the cursor is.
There is no need to Copy and Paste. In fact if you do a Copy, you will place Information about the character on the Clipboard, not the character itself. See this screen shot of the Control-Click menu for the ℞ symbol:
The Character Info is:
℞

Unicode: U+211E, UTF-8: E2 84 9E

Unable to insert date and time when using date datatype

Hi
I am hitting a bit of a problem when using the date datatype. When trying to save a row to the table where the field it throws an error ora 01830 and complains about converting the date format picture ends...etc. Now when I do the insert, I use the to_date function with the format of "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss". Of course, when I remove the time element, everything is perfect.
Checking sysdate, I noticed that the time element wasn't be displayed, and I used alter session set nls_date_format to set the date and time I want to save to the table, which worked!
Then based on advice in a previous thread to permanently fix the problem, I used alter system set nls_date_format ="dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss" scope=spfile; This showed that it was altered, and I can see the setting in the em. In sqlplus, I shutdown the database, and restarted with startup mount; alter database open; and then selecting sysdate, it still shows the date as dd-mon-yy, and still no time! Checking the em, and looking up the nls_date_format the setting is still shown as "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss".
So, my question is this - what am I doing wrong? Why can't save date and time using date in Oracle 11g?????
Thanks

ThanksYou most certainly can save the time. A DATE column, by definition stores date and time. What you describe is a presentation problem, and setting nls_date_format at the system as an init parm is the weakest of all settings as it is overridden by several other locations.
without seeing the exact sql that produced the error (not just your description of what you think you were doing) it is impossible to say for sure.
However, I'd suggest you read http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/nls_date_format/

Randomly printed output is garbled with non-human characters and symbols

When printing from what we believe to be a pdf display, often, but randomly, the printed output is garbled. This may be the second and subsequent pages, only one page, the first one, etc. This happens often, but not exclusively, when printing from a bank generated pdf on their website but also occures on documents opened/created on our machine locally. I will try to attach a sample page using your 'link' symbole above: can't attach a scanned document (pdf) from my system (now why would I have thought this would be the case?.....) Can anyone help me get this document attached to this email?.......Okay! I've jumped through every hoop and there is no way to 'attach' a scanned document from my computer - are you people real or is this a nightmare? Totally unfunctional.
If anyone (human) gets this please contact me at [email protected] or my cell 480-235-1868, and thank you for trying. I am wasting paper and ink by the dozens of dollars every week on this problem, so any help would be appreciated. bill matney

For others who might have the same problem. You can solve it by quoting the device name and/or printer name.
!p """BÆR""" * """\\print\bærum""/q" * 50 *
This, however, causes the printer name to be '"BÆR"' with the double quotes included in the name. Thus, the job card must contain the unfortunate tripple quotes as well: -z"""BÆR""".

Strange characters and symobls print in the middle of a print job. Help.

In the middle of a print job, whether one page or several, it starts printing strange characters and symbols until the end of the job. It will do this in the middle of the page, or after printing one line of English and the rest of the page in gibberish.
It usually does this while printing off bank statements from the internet or a pdf file pulled from the internet. I don't think it has ever printed any of my documents.
However, it has done this while printing a bill received as an attachment to an email from a friend.
The next print job will usually be back to "normal". But one day, it did this many times during the day. Frustrating!
Appreciate any help.

I had this happen to me with a PDF file once. I called Support at HP,
and they told me it was because I had labeled the PDF as "text" when
it actually has (technically) "pictures" in it -- the printer didn't know how
to print those "pictures" (symbols?) as "text," so it came out as gibberish.
Perhaps there's a teckie here who can tell you more eloquently. [And
what to do about it!]

Unable to catch the exceptions caused by '|', '"' and '~' symbol in the URL

I have a VB.net website with .Net framework version 1.1.
I am able to catch all the exceptions and redirect to Custom error screen.
However if I enter the invalid characters in URL specifically '|', '"' and '~' it throws "ArgumentException" with message as "?" and not able to redirect this to Custom error screen.
All other invalid characters and symbols are being handled properly. Custom error screen is set in WEB.config and it is working for all the exceptions.
Please help me find a way to catch and redirect this exception to Custom error screen.

Hello Mr. Monkeyboy,
One of the security solutions ran a security test by entering the wrong characters in the URL (Few more cases) and there by finding if the site redirects to Custom webpage in case of errors and exceptions or not.
Our site is redirecting to Custom error page for all the errors and exceptions except when entered '|','"' or '`' in the url.
Example: If I enter: https://www.somesite.com/NotExists.aspx this get redirected to Custom error screen.
However If I enter https:////www.somesite.com/NotExi|sts.aspx this goes to Server Error in "/somesite" page.
Please note, both the URL is invalid, however one redirects to Custom error where another doesn't.
Thanks for letting me know the lack of clarity in the initial question, hope I made it clear.
I still don't understand the issue. And you should probably be posting the question in one of the ASP.Net forums which I provided a link to in my original post.
You say you enter a URL in your website. But you make no mention of how that is done. Therefore even if you post a question in one of the ASP.Net forums you will need to explain what you mean by entering a URL in your Website.
For example. "We have a website. A user can browse to the website with a WebBrowser. Then in a textbox on the website they can enter a URL (for whatever reason your website would allow a user browsing your website with a webbrowser to want to enter
some URL for some reason into a textbox at your website) and select a button (to do who knows what) and we need to validate the URL does not contain invalid characters."
Maybe these links can help or not.
Validator.Url Method
PathIsURL function
Pinvoke.Net - pathisurl (shlwapi)
Uri.TryCreate Method
I suppose you could even use Regex to validate a URL based on Regex patterns that you should be able to find on the net for doing so with Visual Basic. But I would suppose you would want to provide whoever is placing invalid URL's on the website with the
result displaying the invalid URL and which characters within it are invalid maybe.
I suspect you could even try to validate a URL with a DNS by finding out if it exists or not.

The emails i am sending contain extra characters and symbols are are generally not readable! Here is an example of what my emial looked like when i replied to a message: the subject should read Super 8 Videocamer
Subject: Fw: =per 8 Videocamera
Does this email have the jibberish that is inclu�d in Pauls email?

so you can imagine what my friends/colleagues are thinking when they get emails from me with all this in it!
in case anyone else has this issue......
this is the BB Z10 phone. Software release 10.0.10.85 OS versiom 10.0.10.672 build 445581
My carrier is Bell Mobility in Canada and i have email service through Eastlink.
I have two emails associated with this phone - one with Hotmail and one from Eastlink.
Also when i fwd an email it is sometimes blank! No fwd message at all - the email is completely blank!
Does anyone else have this issue?

Hey Pegster,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
This issue can be resolved by changing the SMTP server settings in your email account. Go to Settings>Accounts and click on the email account.
Make sure you use a SMTP server that requires authentication (username and password). Contact your internet service provider to get an SMTP server.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

Unable to insert program lines in event sort begin and sort end

Hello friends,
I am developing a smartform where in I have to print subtotal for every currencies. So I am unsing the sort criteria option and giving the WAERS in 'Data' tab of the Table . And I select 'Event on Sort Begin' which creates a node in the tree under the table. And I need to clear the total variable in this event so that for every new currency, the total is reset. But I am unable to create a program lines here. When I right click and under flow logic, only Loop and Command options are available. I am using ECC 6.0 . Kindly help me in achieving the solution.
Thanks & regards,
Ratheesh

Hi Sripaleshwar,
I tried that.. I am able to create a program lines when I right click on the table. But it always gets placed outside the table node. When I try to drag it also to under the sort begin event node, it says 'Unable to insert program lines at the selected position'. Basically for my logic to work , it has to execute this program lines when the sort begin event occurs.
