Tabs and leaders

In Word and Apple Works I have always been able to set multiple tabs for any given line and have a leader (dotted line) appear for just one of them. For example I could have a left tab stop at 1 cm and a right tab stop at 16 cm and have a nice leader (a dotted or dashed line)appear between the first and second tab stops.
I tried this in Pages, using the Inspector, selecting just the 16cm right tab stop, and applying a leader to it, ensuring that no leader was applied to the 1cm stop, and yet the dotted line leader was applied to both tabs, not just the 16cm one. This is a pain. As a teacher I often create worksheets with a question number, then a question (on a 1cm left tab) and on the line below, a dotted or dashed leader for pupils to write their answers on.
It seems that Pages won't let me do this. Why on earth not!!!?
Any answers out there?

Hello
I tried to reproduce what you get.
I set a left tab at 1 cm and applied a dotted leader to it
I set a right tab at 15 cm and applied nothing to it
and when I insert 1 or two TABs the line remains blank which seems to be OK.
Trying to test your "workaround"
I set a right tab at .5 cm and applied nothing to it
I set a left tab at 1 cm and applied a dotted leader to it
I set a right tab at 15 cm and applied nothing to it
When I insert one TAB the line is blank
When I insert a second TAB it remains blank
When I insert a third one, I get a dotted line from 1cm to 15 cm
More surprising, if I return to the top of the page, in the first described line, now it put dots from the margin thru the cm15 tab.
If I press a single TAB then enter something then a new TAB I get what I guess as the normal behaviour?

Tabs and Leaders don't seems to works expected

Hi,
I am trying to set up a form and wanted to add Leaders (underlines) with the tabs, but keep finding the Leaders either appear the wrong side of the tab, or don't appear all.
eg:
Name __ (aligned right tab with Leader)
Name __(as above)(blank tab) Tel: __ (aligned right tab with Leader)
If I use 3 or more right aligned tabs with Leaders, the blank tabs in-between start to inherit the Leaders, which appears to be wrong.
I know I haven't really explained this very clearly, but I'm wondering if anybody else is also having problems with Tabs and Leaders?

Hi
I'm new to Discussions. Forgive me if I breach protocol.
We have the same problem as Davinian does with tabs and leaders.
When preparing contracts and annexures we often need to create a place for our clients to sign on the dotted line, eg:
Buyer .................... Witness .................... Date ...................
The tab set with a leader of dots doesn't function correctly. Sometimes tabbing from the "r" of "Buyer" to the first tab set fills with dots, then further fills to the 2nd tab set. Other times no fill occurs at all.
In frustration we slide the tab arrows back and forth along the ruler watching the dots appear, disappear, reappear but the layout of our contract is spoiled.
We use Pages '08. Trialled '09 to see if bug corrected - no such luck.
Any clues?

Compensating for tabs and leader dots when converting to HTML

A FrameMaker document contains a series of "tables" which are actually very long lists. They have the appearance of a TOC: a text phrase, a long line of leader dots, a tab, and a numeral at the end of the dots.
Since the tabs and leader dots vanish when converting to HTML, what might I do to either reconstruct the missing dots or re-create the look of a table for these lists?
Thanks,
Karen

Hello Karen,
There is no way to automatically replace the tabs or leaders. During the conversion all of the information is completely stripped away, leaving no trace of it in the html code. In my documents I typically set them up like this:
In FM
Test Switch[colon][space] …………………..OFF
Test Switch: …………………..OFF
When converted to html
Test Switch: OFF
There is another, but more difficult way to keep your tabs and leaders somewhat intact, by the use of tables. If you put the data in a table you can keep the information separated by columns and rows. Also you must manual put periods or dashed instead having FM do it. When this is converted to html the data will remain in the tables. By removing the borders of the tables in FM it will appear clean, however; once you convert it to html you’ll see the borders again. You can either leave it this way or control the table properties by a CSS.
I’m not sure how my examples will show on the Adobe Forum, but I put them in.
In FM
Test Switch
OFF
In FM without borders
Test Switch
OFF
When converted to html
Test Switch

When converted to html with CSS

I would Like Muse to allow me to create tabs and text leaders within text boxes

I created a web site for a client of mine that includes a price list. My client wanted the price of each item to be consistently aligned. This is something easy to do in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign (for example) but surprisingly not possible within Muse.
Widget................................................$8
Product...............................................$8
I ended up manually creating a leader using periods (see example above) however the numbers aren't perfectly aligned because Individual text characters have varying, inconsistent widths. Those varying widths are not compensated by adding or reducing an additional period thereby causing a price list that appears slightly jagged in its alignment. This is especially prevalent in long lists.
The use of tabs with leaders would be the the solution to this problem.

Did you ever see nice tabs and text leaders in any web page ? Probably not, because they don't properly exist in html and css. It's difficult then for the Muse team to develop a feature that has no technical basis.
There is some rudimentary tab technique in the works of the W3C, but the current browser support is poor. Muse could offer some make-shift method (with fixed spaces or characters) but this is not compliant with the principles of html.
I'd rather want the team to bring out tables, and use these in stead of tabs. (Tables are pretty well available in html, since 1993...)

Somtimes Firefox loads a blank page; the Tab says "New Tab" and the URL is always "about:blank". What's up with that?

Using Dogpile, I search and a list of URLs comes up. I select and click on one and Firefox opens a new tab. It responds promptly with a blank screen. The Tab says "New Tab" and the URL says "about:blank". The last one came up slowly in IE and turned out to be nothing more than a large pdf. Can you help me figure out what is happening and how to fix it, please? It is happening far too often. Running the virus, etc. software has not stopped this problem. Thank you very much for your help! Hutchy

I want Firefox to open to my homepage every time after it crashes. I do not want it to return to the tabs and applications that caused the crash. I am willing to lose information. How do I do this?

Firefox crashes or seizes up when there are too many tabs and applications open, and causes my computer to crash or seize up. I use task manager to close Firefox or I restart my computer. Then, when Firefox restarts again, it automatically re-opens all the tabs and applications that caused the computer to seize or crash in first place. This is a waste of my time. I want Firefox to reopen to my homepage even if it crashes. I am willing to lose information to have Firefox reopen to a low-memory homepage. How do I do this?

Set the Integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

I can't restore a previous session (it instead recovers the session before) of my Tabs and my home page keeps being reset to firefox

Hi,
Over the last few days (since i updated to the newest version of firefox) i've been having problems. I usually keep open quite a few tabs that are invaluable to me that I need, they contain vital information i've been needing for research and I can't afford to keep losing them!. I'm used to exiting firefox when i turn off my computer and them saving for my next session when I open firefox back up. For some reason now, if i turn off my computer, when i turn on again and go into firefox to restore my previous session. it will restore the session prior to my previous session but not my previous session.
My default setting was to resume the Firefox session from where it was when I last exited Firefox that I set. The settings are all the same as they was before I updated firefox and I had this problem, so it is set to remember my history. I'm really not that tech savvy so i really don't know if it was teh update that caused it but it seems around the same time. Also, every single time. it sets my home page to firefox (it is usually google)) it will only remain google if i change it back and remain for the day until i restart my computer.
I'd be most grateful to any hint that might solve this problem. Thank you for your attention. I really appreciate the input! thanks everyone in advance!

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

Tabs and window restore only restored one of many open windows from last session. I hate this!!

Tab and window restoration has FAILED after version 13.01 installation! Out of 7 windows open with multiple tabs, only ONE BROWSER WINDOW OPENED with NO reference to what happened to the normal session that had been in the previous version of FF. I've read about this and I DON'T LIKE IT. It is reverse engineering. WHY would you scrap someone's research for the sake of making your browser open more quickly? DAMMIT MAN I don't have time to study a browser. I may not endure this version! I don't see a way out of this ff trap, other than go to previous version which is always a bitch. Dammit!

You need to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar to close Firefox with all open windows at once. Otherwise only the last closed window will be restored. If this did happen then check History > Recently Closed Windows to see if any are listed (default is 3).

Firefox 24.0 does not update any YouTube page for the download extensions. Video aivalable for download is the 1th opened in the tab and not the video playing.

On YouTube, when more than one video have been played, staying on the same page, videos aivalable for download, by any Firefox Download Extension as Downloader Helper, Flash Video Downloader or 1 Click Video Download, are the format options for the first video opened in the tab, and not format options for the video actually playing.
I have tried resetting Firefox ( Firefox menu : ? \ Troubleshooting Information \ Reset Firefox), and reinstall Videos Downloaders (without Adblock Plus that I normally use), it did not solve the problem.
Temporary Solution :
Refreshing the http://www.youtube.com/... page ( by hitting the round arrow at the right of the adress bar ) allows me to update the download features but it is annoying as it restarts the playback every time I decide to download a video ( so is it having to remember to refresh the page ).
I am surprised it seems no one have experience and solved this problem yet.

How do I restore my tabs and tab groups after an update to version 36.0?

I work with many tabs when I use Firefox. I keep them ordered in Tab Groups, which helps separate the different kids of work I do and interests I have. I have been using this environment for years. When I started my work today, Firefox updated to v36.0, and the following behaviour was noticed:
1. There is only one tab group when attempting to show Tab Groups in Panorama, as opposed to around a dozen;
2. Normally though the hidden tabs (the tabs in the same group as the startup group and not the default page) don't download content until clicked, the name of the page and icon, if available, will show on the tab. Presently, the tabs show "New Tab" and no icon. There appears, however, to be the number of tabs that exist across all Tab Groups but now are ghosts this one, default Tab Group. I'd have to add, though, I don't count the number of tabs, so I can't be exactly sure. When clicked, there is just a blank page. So it is odd that Firefox knows they are there but cannot simply attach the address to it.
I have tried to restore the following files from my Windows Home Server backup to the AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<gobbletygook>.default folder:
1. In the sessionstore-backups folder, I replaced the previous.js, recovery.bak and recovery.js files (not any of the upgrade~) with files from yesterday and from two days before.
When that didn't do anything, I replaced
2. sessionCheckpoints.json
I didn't see any file with a recent date that appeared to be one that I should restore. I should add that I do see hidden files. I thought about restoring the whole lot, but wasn't sure how this would affect the program on v36.0 and the profile files on 35.0.1.
I have deadlines this week and need to immediately restore my environment in order to make those deadlines. I have no list of addresses to my Web pages to work in IE or other. Any help would be very much appreciated.
On a second note, I had been wondering recently whether this tab group environment is a suitable way to maintain my work environment. Occasionally, when opening Panorama, I would get an error saying a script is taking too long, but if I clicked Continue, it would display the groups in a few seconds. I had considered putting all of it in Bookmarks though it would be tedious and more difficult to access and open multiple tabs. In the beginning, I tried Tab Groups thinking it was a simple matter of maintaining a table of addresses (in tabs) with a tab group ID or name. How could that go wrong? Well, it has, so it is obviously more complicated than that, and I didn't realise that upgrades would affect personal data. Should I abondon using tab groups?

With the help of information from user, ptressel, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032154#answer-673322 a post here about the existence of sessionstore.js when version 33 was released], I was able to easily recover my tabs and tab groups as follows:
# close Firefox and, perhaps, allow a few seconds (30s?) for any final closing of files;
# check to see if you have a sessionstore.js file in your profile folder, named like the one I documented in my original post above;
# if it is not timestamped prior to the discovery of your problem, open the sessionstore-backups folder;
# check if the recovery.js file is suitably timestamped and, if not, the recovery.bak.
# At this point, you are likely to find that none of them are prior to your problem occuring. If so, open your backups of this folder and go through steps 2-4 to find a file prior to your problem occuring.
# When you find a file, copy it to the root of your current profile folder and name it, "sessionstore.js"
# Open Firefox. Mine opened up as desired.
This is a Windows solution. Sorry I can't comment on other platforms, but I'd bet that as this is just a file copy and renaming, it is likely the same.
For Windows users, you may find you need to sign out and login as an administrator in order to access the backups. You need not logoff your standard account, but do have Firefox closed as described above.
Hope that helps.
