Template file creates duplicates when opened

Appleworks 6.2.9, running on intel iMac in Leopard.
Created a template, saved it to the desktop. In the finder, double click the template and it makes a copy of the template file, as it opens. I type in the file and Save, now I have three files on my desktop -- the original template, the copy of the template, and the actual file.
Has anyone seen this? Solved this?

AppleWorks template files are intended to be opened from Starting Points (they contain information that AW uses to organize your template files). It doesn't hurt anything, but is just a matter of self-preservation. AppleWorks has indexed those template files so you can find them easily from within AppleWorks. If your Mac has multiple user accounts, it keeps each user's templates separate from the others, while allowing all users access to the common templates. When you try to open them from the Finder, AW immediately makes a copy of it to make it harder for you to make an inadvertent change to the original indexed version.
If you want to be able to double-click a template, you can use my solution to delete the original template after a "copy" was created, then remove "(space)copy" from the name of the copy created. I found that this copy (now named as the original template) will not create copies.

PNG files are grainy when opened in Illustrator.

Files that I create in Photoshop and save as PNG files are grainy and colored incorrectly when opened in Illustrator. The files are fine when opened in other programs. Please see the pictures below to illustrate my point. These are the same file, however, the first is the PNG file that I've saved in Photoshop and the second is how Illustrator renders the file.
Original - Saved from Photoshop
Rendered in Illustrator. Exported as PNG.

It is PNG 24. It's super bizarre. I originally thought it was because the file began as a RAW file, but any file I export as a PNG gives me the same issue when opened in illustrator.

Do iCloud and Wi-Fi auto sync create duplicates when work same time?

Do iCloud and Wi-Fi auto sync create duplicates when work same time?
I assume iCloud should do same that "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" in iTunes does.
How do they coexist?

Thanks for reply but somehow desagre as I just drow attention to the iTunes that Sync iCal Calendars indicates:
quote - Your calendars are being synced with iCloud over the air. You can also choose to sync calendars with this computer. this may result in duplicated data showing on your device.
unquote-
Same about Bookmarks, Mail and Contacts.

Template File created in DreamWeaver Looks ok. But when a new file created with this template shows disordered

I created a template file in DreamWeaver cs5. It is OK. and it looks like this, with Pink box showing the editable region. http://smsoftsolutions.com/downloads/test.jpg
Now the problem is, when I create a NEW html file from this Template, in the DESIGN view, the template contents are shown in a flowing mode. ie. Absolutely positioned DIVs are showing in a disorderly way, as shown in this screenshot. http://smsoftsolutions.com/downloads/test2.jpg
When I preview it in browser, it is showing as I expect. But only in the design mode, it is showing in a relatively positioned way.
Can anyone tell me what I should do in the dreamweaver settings, to show the layout in a WYSIWYG way?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
If I post the pages alone, the link to the images will be broken.
The css files also will be broken.
The css file should be in the folder css, images should be in the folder home_images, and template file should be in the folder templates.
The link to three files are:
1. HTML FILE
http://smsoftsolutions.com/downloads/t.html
2. TEMPLATE FILE
http://smsoftsolutions.com/downloads/vetiver_master.dwt
3. CSS FILE

Content of illustrator file is different when opening in and old cs version.

Hi all!
I have a very awful and urgent problem in my job right now, i design some advertisings that goes regularly from month to month, so some advertisings are just like the last month used but with some data changed.
My problem:
I have an illustrator file (.ai) saved and created in CS3 with pdf compability, outlines, and files linked and included on the same cd,
but when opening the same .ai file in another machine but with CS2 (the client's PC).. it shows a very old version of the file with ALL linked files embebbed (and those are different that are on the cd!!)., in the CS3 file i saved and recorded on cd i replaced all things of course and re-save it. I don't know what is wrong, but when i open it in another machine (i.e. a Mac) it shows the correct version of advertising. But not with the client's machine...
In my illustrator file, there is only text outlines and 2 psd. Each PSD have only 1 layer, 'cause they were flattened (thet are actually letters scanned).
So basically: My .ai file, created in CS3 in a Mac, seems totally different and embebbed when opening in CS2 in a PC.
I hope someone can help me with this urgent matter Thanks a lot everyone!!

In regards to the illustrator file link not matching, there is nothing wrong with the .ai file., your problem is with the filenames on the linked images. Your linked images have the SAME EXACT FILENAME AS THE OLD ones connected to the clients machine. You need to break the link to the old bad files and re-establish them to your good files.
Use links palete Flyout menu >> link information to find the location of the images. Change the name of an enclosing folder, or some other method to break the link to old images. Relink to new images, by placing them next to the .ai file in the same folder, and open the .ai file.

File is empty when opening in Windows CS2 after saving from Leopard CS3

I have CS3 installed on my new Mac running Leopard. When I save a file and take it to my windows machine running CS2, I get a message that "the file was created by a newer version of Illustrator, and some data may be lost." Most times it just opens a empty file. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, without installing CS3 on my windows machine?

In CS3 click SAVE AS and save as CS2 file. Then try opening on Windows machine.

Used a template to create form. when I run it from a page, the template is not shown

I have created a form based on a template. When I run it from the applications page I can see the template. I then added it as an application component item with a folder in a content area. I have then published this folder as a portlet in a page. When I the form from the portlet within that page, it opens up in a new window but there is no template.
How do I get the template to show when I run it from the portlet ?

It is true that the template is not shown when the form is run as a portlet. But, with a small amount of coding in the additional pl/sql section, you can display the template.
Steps :-
1> Edit the form and go to the additional pl/sql section.
2> Put the following code in the "...before displaying the page" area
declare
l_mid integer;
l_title varchar2(32767);
l_template varchar2(200);
begin
l_mid := p_session.get_module().id;
l_title := p_session.get_module().title;
l_template := p_session.get_module().template;
<portal_schema>.wwv_headings.show_header
p_template => l_template,
p_heading => l_title,
p_help_link => <portal_schema>.wwctx_api.get_proc_path('wwa_app_module.help')
|| '?p_module_id='||l_mid
end;
3> Put the following code in the "...after displaying the page" area
declare
l_template varchar2(200);
begin
l_template := p_session.get_module().template;
<portal_schema>.wwv_headings.show_footer
p_template => l_template
end;
Note: replace <portal_schema> with appropriate your portal schema .

Project HTM Files are Blurry when opened in Web Browser

Hello, I'm hoping someone on this discussion board can help me!
I have created a video project for work in Adobe Captivate 6 and have published it. I now need to upload this video project onto our company's website.
In short, here is my problem: When I open the HTM file for my video project from the original file source, it appears normal. However, once I wrote a path to the HTM file in our website's HTML code and went to open the page in my internet browser (I've been using Firefox) the video appears blurry.
How can this be? Clearly the quality of the HTM file is fine, since it was not blurry when I opened it from the original file source. Can anyone think of a reason why it is blurry when opened in an internet browser? I know this sometimes can happen with the SWF files because internet browsers can alter their dimensions, but I thought using HTM files was supposed to help in avoiding these sorts of problems.
Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sure.
Here is a screenshot from one of the older videos:
And here is a screenshot from my video:
They are essentially the same screen, but for some reason in my version everything looks far more pixelated. Any thoughts on this?

Bug : Invalid file extension error when opening exported excel

Hi All,
In one of my jsff page, i have implemented 'exportToExcel' functionality through a exportcollectionactionlistener on a table to export its data to excel. When i try opening the generated excel, i get the following warning in excel 2007 :
"The file you are trying to open, 'Export.xls,' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" - When I clicked YES to the message, the exported excel opened and data is present.
How can i get rid of this warning message, because it is annoying for any user to click YES every time the excel is opened ? I am using jdev version 11.1.1.6.0 This is my code :
<af:commandToolbarButton text="Export to Excel" id="cb1">
<af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t1"
                           type="excelHTML"
                           filename="Export.xls"
                           title="Excel export"/>
</af:commandToolbarButton>I found a similar forum post here File format of exportCollectionActionListener ADF 11g But they are suggesting a registry fix which is not possible in production environment.
Any possible workaround or suggestions to resolve this issue is much appreciated.
Thanks

You can save the data on the client and the check the data.

"File Not Found" When opening a file in illustrator CS3

I having issues where when I click on a file it launches illustrator but then I get prompted with file not found. I then open illustrator and browse to the file and am to open it....any ideas? This one has me stumped.

I think I found the problem. I am using Illustrator CS5 (15.0.02) running on MacOS (10.7.5).
In my script, Folder.selectDialog function was returning "file:///Users/alex/Apps/temp", when I selected the temp folder from the dialog box. I want the function to return "/Users/alex/Apps/temp". If I hardcode the path (as shown below), the javascript runs fine.
// Select the source folder.
//sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Select the folder with Illustrator files', '~' );
sourceFolder = Folder("/Users/alex/Apps/temp");

Mac Pro accessing SMB shares on a windows server. After being left on all night, the MP gets "file unavailable" messages when opening files on the share.

Windows Server 2003 accessed by several PCs and Macs without previous incident. This one Mac Pro after it's been left on all night (running jobs, or just left idle), and a user tries to reconnect to an SMB share, can go to Finder, Go, Connect to Server, enter the Server info as normal, login as normal, view the directories and files as normal, but as soon as they try to open anything they are given one of the following messages:
"Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \ /). (<filename>)" - when opening a word document
"<filename> could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted." - when opening an excel spreadsheet
Note that these messages are popping up AFTER the user has double-clicked on them to open them. So the files are certainly there and correctly named (and contain only letters, numbers and underscores). After restarting the Mac Pro, the error messages are gone and the files can be accessed without problem. Would like it so that they can connect to the server without having to restart every day.

Does copying in music files create duplicates?

After installing iTunes 11 I found that my music and video were all listed with the ! (exclamation mark) and I had no access to them and the message "the original file cannot be found....." (Only the few that I had bought from the iTunes store were still accessible - the ones copied from CDs etc were not). I tried to locate the orignal files but it seemed that the music and video files were nowhere to be found. So I copied in my 1,080 music files and 16 video files from an external back up, and it now works ok. But by copying in the music and video files have I now created duplicates? Are the original files still hidden somewhere taking up space on my HD? How would I check on that?

Normally an installation should not delete files. Occasionally people here have reported it did for them. Since it shouldn't, we don't know why it would. It's good you had a backup.
If you use iTunes default preference settings (i.e., if you have not changed them you do) it should put all your media in a Media folder in your Music > iTunes. Since you are seeing ! something has happened to cause the reference in the main iTunes library database file to have a bad reference for where your media files are located. So either the files have gone missing or were moved (by you) to a place where iTunes' addressbook is incorrect, or something happened during the updating of the library file to result in bad references.
Look in your iTunes Media folder and see how many copies you have of files. Use Spotlight to search for a track you know exists and see if there is more than one copy on your computer.
If you now have a lot of dead links in your library look at: Super Remove Dead Tracks - http://dougscripts.com/212 then type "super remove dead" into the search line to get to the free Applescript rather than the app.

I AM TRYING TO PUT A PDF FILE IN IBOOKS, WHEN OPEN IT IN EMAIL NO OPTION TO OPEN IN IBOOKS. CAN SOMEONE HELP?

I am trying to open a PDF file in Ibooks. When I send it to myself via email and go to open on the Ipad I don't get the option to open in Ibooks. How do I fix that?

Hi johnc,
I'm sorry to hear that your file didn't convert well for you. Can you please tell me more about the PDF that you're trying to convert? Do you know how it was created? The quality of a conversion depends on the quality of the PDF, and it sounds like the file you have may not include the tagging information that is required to convert that properly into an Excel file. Would you be willing to share that file with me? If so, let me know and I'll send you a private message with my contact details.
Best,
Sara

File format invalid when opening a word document

Hi there,
I have been sent a batch of Word and PDF documents, which when I try and open on my Macbook they all come up with the message 'The file format is invalid'.
I have previously been sent word and PDF files, and had no problem opening them. I have used the Help resource, and followed the instructions about dragging the file to the Pages icon etc, but the same error message comes up.
What could be wrong? I think that the version of Word is 2007.
Lucy

As far as I know, Pages was never able to open PDF files.
By default, this task is dedicated to Preview.
M…oSoft created so many file formats that I'm not really surprised by what yo describe with Word documents.
Would be a good idea to download and install the free LibreOffice from :
