Text alignment with footnotes

In (unstructured) Framemaker, I can't get (especially
footnote) text to sit consistently at the very bottom of the page.
I don't want to use feathering, as this knocks out the line-by-line
text alignment across the page. Is there any obvious way of getting
the variable space to appear between the main text and the footnote
separator as standard?

FTE does the low-level work of laying out glyphs within a
TextLine (including mapping Unicode characters to glyphs and
implementing the bidirectional layout algorithm), not the
high-level work of arranging TextLines relative to each other. It
leaves the latter task to libraries such as TLF, so that they can
implement complex algorithms like
flowing-from-container-to-container or
wrapping-text-around-an-image. These don't really belong in the
Player because they are less clearly defined and need to evolve
more quickly to meet the needs of various use cases.
So... even something as basic as laying out a block of
right-aligned text is not something that FTE was designed to make
effortless. A low-level package like FTE was designed for
generality, not for ease-of-use.

Text value not aligned with text caption

Hello,
In my text fields, the text value is always slightly raised from the text caption. Is there a way to get them to align?
Thanks,
Gail

Hi Geo,
I have tried top, middle, and bottom alignment and although they give different results, none are actually aligned with the caption text.
The top and middle alignments still have the value text raised above the caption text.
The bottom alignment gives a puzzling result of the value text being sunk below the caption text and actually somewhat cut off at the bottom.
For some of my text boxes I have thrown together a work-around solution for this by setting the baseline shift for the value text to -3pt. Although this does seem to work, I don't imagine this is how the program was INTENDED to be used and I'd like to understand how to get the text aligned without having to tweak baselines.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Gail

Hyphenation & text-align:justify in PDF's with CFDOCUMENT

Hello everybody!
We are using CF8.1 and are having problems of generating well designed PDF outputs with CFDOCUMENT. We would like to print out reports, which are hyphenated and have the text aligned. Example:
This works fine:
<html lang="en">
<STYLE>p { width:260px;background-color:blue;-moz-hyphens: auto; -o-hyphens: auto; -webkit-hyphens: auto; -ms-hyphens: auto; -hyphens: auto;text-align:justify}</STYLE>
<P>Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer</P>
</html>
This won't:
<CFDOCUMENT FORMAT="PDF">
<html lang="en">
<STYLE>p { width:260px;background-color:blue;-moz-hyphens: auto; -o-hyphens: auto; -webkit-hyphens: auto; -ms-hyphens: auto; -hyphens: auto;text-align:justify}</STYLE>
<P>Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer Haematodynamometer</P>
</html>
</CFDOCUMENT>
Do you have any solutions on this topics? Are do I have to wait until CF11.
Thanks in advance

Now, the problem is that, while the client likes this, they don't like that the headers and footers are grayed out and the colors are not as vibrant in Word as the program part I created and saved as a PDF.
They're being a bit impractical in their complaints, in fact they remind me of my Dad! The final product is still fine.

They also don't like that if we keep this as a Word document, all the text is editable.
That's fair enough, the solution would be to make the text in the header and footer an image instead.

So my question is, can I create a PDF that has the same features with the expandable text control boxes. If I can, would you recommend InDesign to do this?
No you can't. I'm pretty sure you can't create a PDF with expandable boxes and I'm very sure that you can't create a PDF that will add pages with headers and footrs. However you can create a PDF with basic fillable text boxes, they're called forms and you need Acrobat as well to do it, google it and you'll find plenty of info.

Why does footnote text mix with the main text in a documents?

Hello good people
I have a annoying problem where the footnote text mixes with the general text in the document in Pages 5.2.
I'm writing research papers and I use considerable amount of footnotes. When there is more than a certain amount of footnotes in in one page, the main test of the document seems to fall behind the footnotes, making it almost impossible to read. The doc prints the same way. Saving, closing and reopening does not fix the problem. Exporting to Word does not fix the problem either. Neither does restarting the computer.
If I however hit enter until all the text is on a new page, sometimes that fixes the problem.
I'm using Pages 5.2 on a PowerBook Pro with fully updated Maverick.
Any solutions or good ideas ?
All the best

I don't know about text, but with Email, you are limited to how many bytes an attachment can be. Truthfully, I forget the limit, but there is a limit. One thing you can do is put it on YouTube and then direct the people you want to see the video to that particular URL. Also, I believe that there are a couple of apps which will allow you to send longer videos.

Column alignment with apex_item.text

I am trying to create a tabular form with the following statement
select apex_item.text(10,empno) empno,
apex_item.text(20,ename) ename,
apex_item.text(30,sal,15,15) sal,
apex_item.text(40,comm) comm
from emp
The statement above works fine, however, if I try to align the sal column by adding style for the p_attribute parameter such as
apex_item.text(30,sal,15,15,style="text-align:right;") sal
I get the following
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
In addition to the column alignment I would like to format the column like $999,999.99 and provide a column total at the bottom, is this possible with apex_item.text?
Any thoughts would be most appreciated
Regards,
Mark

Hi,
You could try using TO_CHAR(sal,'$999,999.99') but I'm not sure what that may do to the submit process - I tend to leave the number unformatted and only use formats for reports.
If you are able to add in formatting, it may actually make it a lot harder to provide totals. A total could be done by looping through the input items that have a name attribute of "f30" (as you've used 30 for the index number of that item) - using parseInt() or parseFloat() javascript functions would convert the strings into numbers, but the commas and currency symbols would stop this working.

SSRS- Span tag with text-align CSS property

Hi All,
I hope you can direct me.
If I use the text box as HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles, and write the following in it:
"<p style='text-align: right';>Ghada Naim</p>"
It works correctly ,but the following do not respond to the style:
"<span style='text-align: right';>Ghada Naim</span>"
Please, what is the problem? Is the span tag with SSRS does not support to text align property or what?
Thank you,

Hi GhadaNaim,
In Reporting Services, the following is a complete list of tags that will render as HTML when defined as placeholder text:
Hyperlinks: <A HREF>
Fonts: <FONT>
Header, style and block elements: <H{n}>, <DIV>, <SPAN>,<P>, <DIV>, <LI>, <HN>
Text format: <B>, <I>, <U>, <S>
List handling: <OL>, <UL>, <LI>
We can know that the <SPAN> tag is supported. Based on my further research, the <span> tag is used to group inline-elements in a document and it provides no visual change by itself. So we couldn’t directly see its respond in report.
For more information about HTML <span> Tag, please refer to the following document:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Preview app: Add text annotation with left justify?

I'm using the Preview app to insert text into some PDF files. I can use the Annotate feature to create a text box in the area I need it and adjust the font, color, size, etc. The only thing I can't seem to do is set the justification to Left Justify. It will show text as center justify - anyone know how to change this?

I can find out what the defaults are with:
defaults read com.apple.preview
There are many properties but a TextAligment property is not one of them.
I tried below but they do not work.
defaults write com.apple.preview NSTextAlignment 0
defaults write com.apple.preview PVAnnotationTextAlignment 0
NB: 0 means left alignment
Any idea?
Maybe Apple has to create an text alignment feature for the GUI or provide the property that we can set it from Terminal.

Adobe form -- Issue in Displaying Dynamic text along with Static text

Hi All,
I am having an issue when i am displaying a dynamic text along with static text in adobeforms.
The dynamic text is slightly coming down and not aligned with the static text. i can see half row it is coming down.
how to align both texts to be printed in same format.
Request all of your expert advices in achieving this .
Thank you in advance.
Thanks&Regards,
Phani Miriyaila.

Hi,
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Goto Object palette -> Layout. Give values to X,Y coordinates and Height & Width. Anchor properly and specify margins as well.
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Right click on it and goto palettes -> Paragraph. It gives you the text alignment options. Align the text and give similar font and size.
Thanks & Regards,

Two column text box with header

I have a text box that is set to flow as two columns. The beginning of the text box has a header then a list of bulleted items. My problem is that when the text flows to the second column, it is set at the top (in-line with the header). What I would like is to do something like set a top margin just for the second column so it will line up with the body text from the first column. Is there an easy way to do this or should I just use two text boxes and position the second box where I want it?

Simplest is to use two text boxes.
Dave Saunders has a script (http://pdsassoc.com/index.php?Nav=downs&Ban=Downloads&Info=downloads.html) that can do it with one text box by putting your head in a one-column table that intrudes into the second column. I've never used his script, and I see his website says CS and CS2, so I'm not sure if it would work with your version.
You could probably achieve what you want (because I see you don't actually need the head to straddle, just the texts to top align with each other) by forcing a huge leading on one character in a frame that's set to First Baseline Offset by Leading.

Importing MS word files with footnotes

Laying out a textbook. Client provided formatted text. The footnotes travel with the text as I edit which is great. However, I do not want the rule that separates the footnote from the text. I've searche ID and MS Word high and low to see how to get the rule to not appear. Any ideas or can it not be done without having to placing the files without formatting and starting from the ground up in ID? See link for screen shot. Thanks.

Hi there, I'm working with InDesign CS (I bought it a few years ago now, so its not the most current). I am trying to import a word doc with footnotes, but they will only import as endnotes, even though I have selected the import option for 'footnotes and endnotes'. I am doing a 50,000 work book, so I'd like each footnote to be at the bottom of each relevant page for easier reading. It should be very simple but I have no idea how to get around this. As usual, I have an impending deadline, so any advice or feedback or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
BTW Clearly I am not a computer guru, so 'scripting' etc would be way too complicated for me.
Cheers :-)

Trouble with Footnotes in InDesign 5.5

Can someone help?
I am designing a book that has approx. 1000 footnotes. I have the 500+ page book split into 4 separate files to save on memory/file size. My first pass through the design went smoothly, with no errors at all. I am currently working through the author's first batch of changes and the files are freezing up on me almost every page. I am able to "force quit" and not lose anything, but that cannot be good for the file integrity!
I am not able to tell exactly when or why this is happening, except that it seems to have something to do with when InDesign needs to move the footnotes from one page to the next.
The problem is intermittent - sometimes I can work pages and pages with no freezes, sometimes it takes me a half hour to get one correction made! It's making me crazy - and fearful I will never get this project done (without having to completely redesign it!)
Footnotes are a must for this client, so I am actually considering manually adding the footnotes. PLEASE tell me if you know of another way to solve this problem?

Thanks, again, Peter!
Your comment about frames gave me the idea to just delete the troublesome frames as I came upon them and that seemed to work. Delete a page/delete a frame, reflow the text. With that trick, I was able to finish the first round of revisions to the book this morning!
I really (really, really) can't tell you how great it was to get your advice on this!! And so quickly. It kept me hopeful I could find a resolution without having to redesign the whole project - and I learned some new tricks in the process.
Is it OK if I save this email (thread) until I am confident I've moved past this issue? (I'm wrapping up for the day now - but will be back into this over the next week.)
Have as great of a day as you've made mine!

JTable text alignment issues when using JPanel as custom TableCellRenderer

Hi there,
I'm having some difficulty with text alignment/border issues when using a custom TableCellRenderer. I'm using a JPanel with GroupLayout (although I've also tried others like FlowLayout), and I can't seem to get label text within the JPanel to align properly with the other cells in the table. The text inside my 'panel' cell is shifted downward. If I use the code from the DefaultTableCellRenderer to set the border when the cell receives focus, the problem gets worse as the text shifts when the new border is applied to the panel upon cell selection. Here's an SSCCE to demonstrate:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.GroupLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.border.Border;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
import javax.swing.table.TableColumn;
import sun.swing.DefaultLookup;
public class TableCellPanelTest extends JFrame {
private class PanelRenderer extends JPanel implements TableCellRenderer {
    private JLabel label = new JLabel();
    public PanelRenderer() {
      GroupLayout layout = new GroupLayout(this);
      layout.setHorizontalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup().addComponent(label));
      layout.setVerticalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup().addComponent(label));
      setLayout(layout);
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
      if (isSelected) {
        setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
      } else {
        setBackground(table.getBackground());
      // Border section taken from DefaultTableCellRenderer
      if (hasFocus) {
        Border border = null;
        if (isSelected) {
          border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusSelectedCellHighlightBorder");
        if (border == null) {
          border = DefaultLookup.getBorder(this, ui, "Table.focusCellHighlightBorder");
        setBorder(border);
        if (!isSelected && table.isCellEditable(row, column)) {
          Color col;
          col = DefaultLookup.getColor(this, ui, "Table.focusCellForeground");
          if (col != null) {
            super.setForeground(col);
          col = DefaultLookup.getColor(this, ui, "Table.focusCellBackground");
          if (col != null) {
            super.setBackground(col);
      } else {
        setBorder(null /*getNoFocusBorder()*/);
      // Set up our label
      label.setText(value.toString());
      label.setFont(table.getFont());
      return this;
public TableCellPanelTest() {
    JTable table = new JTable(new Integer[][]{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}, new String[]{"A", "B", "C"});
    // set up a custom renderer on the first column
    TableColumn firstColumn = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
    firstColumn.setCellRenderer(new PanelRenderer());
    getContentPane().add(table);
    pack();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        new TableCellPanelTest().setVisible(true);
}There are basically two problems:
1) When first run, the text in the custom renderer column is shifted downward slightly.
2) Once a cell in the column is selected, it shifts down even farther.
I'd really appreciate any help in figuring out what's up!
Thanks!

1) LayoutManagers need to take the border into account so the label is placed at (1,1) while labels just start at (0,0) of the cell rect. Also the layout manager tend not to shrink component below their minimum size. Setting the labels minimum size to (0,0) seems to get the same effect in your example. Doing the same for maximum size helps if you set the row height for the JTable larger. Easier might be to use BorderLayout which ignores min/max for center (and min/max height for west/east, etc).
2) DefaultTableCellRenderer uses a 1px border if the UI no focus border is null, you don't.
3) Include a setDefaultCloseOperation is a SSCCE please. I think I've got a hunderd test programs running now :P.

The inline line object in the header is offset in facing pages. How can I make it align with the outer margin?

I have a Pages document with a header that contains both text and a line (a shape, inline) below the text. When I make the document two-sided (facing pages), with a 1" inside margin and a .75" outside margin, the line offsets either left or right in each section of the document. When a section starts with a right-hand page, the line is right justified on ALL the pages in the section (1" from the left and .75" from the right), even though it should be .75" from the LEFT on the LEFT-HAND pages. When a section starts with a left-hand page, the line is left justified on ALL the pages in the section.
Is there any way to get the header line to align with the margins properly in facing pages?

Hi Debra,
Click on Inspector > Layout > Section > Configuration
Is there a tick in 'Left and right pages are different'?
Please post a screen shot of your headers. That will help to show what you are trying to achieve.
To take a screen shot, hold down the shift and command keys, then type 4. The cursor will change to crosshairs. Release the shift and command keys. Drag over that part of your screen then release the mouse/trackpad. A screen shot will appear on your desktop. In a reply to a message, click on the camera icon in the Toolbar above your reply and
Choose File > Choose > Insert Image
You may have to try this twice. Camera icon sometimes needs a wake-up call, but works the second time.
Remove any personal details before taking the screen shot.

Ian.

JDeveloper 10.1.3.4: text-align for table column has no effect

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4. In a tabe I have a column that displays numbers, which are left-aligned by default:
Applied
$50.00
$2,160.00
$50.00
$2,260.00I want to have them aligned to the right to look neater:
Applied
         $50.00
      $2,160.00
         $50.00
      $2,260.00Or better still, have the cell with the longest string aligned to the center, and all the other cells align to it by the decimal point:
    Applied
      $50.00
   $2,160.00
      $50.00
   $2,260.00I looked in the property inspector and the only thing that looks closest to the purpose is text-align. I set this attribute to right (text-align:right) for the column, and for the outputText, but neither has effect. Everything is still flush to the left. How to get it right?
Thanks!
Newman

Hi, Branislav,
Nice meeting you again.
Last time the question was about formatting the total amount returned from the method, from String to Number, Re: JDeveloper does not handle expert SQL, cannot add query clause in view link, which can also format the number as currency.
This time, your answer again solved my problem. I was looking in the inline styling section, and did not notice this property in the General section. Thank you so much for your help!
