Text alignment

The text alignment boxes, top, middle, bottom, don't seem to affect change. I am accustomed to using multiple text boxes to customize more, and most of the time it works for me, but now I'm modifying an earlier pages doc where I just typed, and I'm realizing how much space I need can't be utilized because each individual box demands so much empty space at the top, it's sometimes a half an inch compared to "just typing". Is there a preferences setting I'm missing somewhere that will allow me to recoup some of this?

Is the space above the box itself, or is the space inside the box, above the first line? If it's the former, look in the Wrap Inspector to see how the text wrap is set, especially the kind of wrap and the "Extra Space" setting. If it's the latter, check in the Text Inspector that there is no Inset Margin value.

How to change the text alignment of an adf table column

Hi everyone
I have a read only adf table that uses banding. What I want to do is change the text align property of one of it's columns but the task seems not at all trivial.
I tried entering a value for the text-align property in the inline style of the specific af:column tag and failed. I then tried to do the same for the af:outputText element inside the column but still nothing worked. I even created a css style and changed the StyleClass attribute on each or both elements without any luck.
Can anybody shed some light here ...
Thanassis

Specify the text-align in a css.

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.

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

That's fair enough, the solution would be to make the text in the header and footer an image instead.

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.

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!

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!

New to CSS, text-align and line-height ok in 'Design', but not in browsers (IE 10 & Chrome) on Win8

[DREAMWEAVER CC]
I'm now learning CSS, and find that where I specify in an external style sheet
h1 {
          font-family:Baskerville, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, "Century Schoolbook L", "Times New Roman", serif;
          text-align:center;

          word-spacing: 10px;
text-shadow: 3px 3px 5px #333;
text-decoration: none ;
text-transform: none;
That, in DW Design, they look fine, but in Windows 8, IE 11 and ChromeVersion 31.0.1650.63 m   that the text-align: center; and the line-height: 3.0; are ignored.
I work around by specifying <tr align="center" height = "77">   shouldn't the text-align: center; and the line-height: 3.0; be specifiable in my CSS??

Not sure what it is you are trying to do but what you have at the moment is invalid code which is most likely why it doesn't work cross browser. (of cousre this css does not help - line-height: 3.0; - 3.0 what? - px, ems?)
Here's an example below of how you could do it. Give your table a class (below it is called .myTable) then you can start styling the <td> cell, and anything inside it by appending the element like an <h2> tag to the class name - .myTable h2
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style>
.myTable {
    width: 900px;
    margin: 0 auto;
.myTable td {
font-family:Baskerville, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, "Century Schoolbook L", "Times New Roman", serif;
width: 150px;
.myTable h2 {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
text-align:center;
color: black;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 50px;
word-spacing: 10px;
text-shadow: 3px 3px 5px #333;
.myTable a {
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table class="myTable" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

Sync Text alignment in HTMLEditor and a PDF generated using FOP

Hi,
How to sync text alignment in HTMLEditor and a PDF generated using FOP ?
I tried setting the dimensions of HTMLEditor and PDF in pixels by calculating the size in Pixels for A4 paper size with a particular dpi value.
Have done the font settings as well. The problem is I see uneven line cuts in the PDF as compared to HTMLEditor.
Thanks.

It's not a realistic expectation. You are expecting the PDF produced by whoever provided your FOP implementation to observe exactly the same typographical rules as HTMLEditor. Basically it won't, and there is no way to enforce it. Line breaking/hyphenation/word spacing algorithms can be of great complexity. You are expecting two systems that aren't specified to agree, to agree.

Spry bar text alignment

I need help with aligning text in main spry bar menu. Using DW 5.5, I have a 7 bank bar and 2 have 2 lines, remainder have 1. I need to BOTTOM align everything. I've look through forums, help menus, and u-tube and can not find this answer.
I would also like to not have fixed widths, but widths varied per text length, but when I do that, obviously the 2 lined text banks turn into one line.

To give you an idea of what I would do, have a look at the following by copying and pasting into a new document.

BUG:text-align:right; inline style not working on read-only af:InputText

Hello,
A bug in how af:InputText works if readonly=true. I have an af:InputText that has "text-align:right;" for the InlineStyle. The inputText is inside of an af:Column in af:Table. If the inputtext is readonly=false, it works properly and renders right-aligned. If readonly=true, then it renders left-aligned. I have also tried setting inlineStyle for the column to text-align:right;, and I get the same behavior.
Regards,
John

John,
Try adding formatType="number" to your af:column (if you want all data in that column aligned to the right). If you don't want the entire column right aligned, try using disabled instead of readonly.

ADF Faces OutputText text-align

I´m working in an ADF Faces Application, a column in a table is showed using an outputText but the customer wants its value is showed right align.
I've tried the propertie inlineStyle="text-align:right;" in the outputText but it's not working correctly.
I think that inlineStyle="text-align:right;" doesn't work with outputText.
Are there any solution to align text in a af:outputText?
Thanks in advanced

TableView: column header text alignment?

How can I change the text alignment of a TableView column caption/header? I'd like some of my column headers to be right aligned for example?
It works for regular table cells when I change f.i. the css of the custom DataFX MoneyTableCell cell:
.money-cell {
   -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}but it won't work for the ".table-view .column-header" style of the standard TableView:
.table-view .column-header,
.table-view .filler,
.table-view .column-drag-header {
    -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}

Just after raising this I realised the problem is that the text is a label on top of the header. You can right align by using the following selector:
.table-view .column-header .label {
    -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}

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 Align ignores whitespaces

Hi.
I have a problem with text align in text field.
Let's say that I have a text field with htmlText:
"Text example "
- when I set align for this text field like this:
var _format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
_format.align= TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
text_field.setTextFormat(_format);
- it ignores whitespaces at the end of the line.
Same thing for TextFormatAlign.RIGHT.
Can I change this behavior using new text layout framework?

I don't think you can. TLF ignores trailing spaces when aligning text as well. And the decisions for where a glyph appears on a line are in the Player - not our actionscript code - so there isn't a way to override this in TLF.

Table (css) text align in ff

does anybody know of an issue where setting a table class
with text-align attributes won't center the text of the table in
firefox?
I can force it to center by adjusting the align attribute in
the <table> tag, but i have a several tables that i would
like to keep control of in my stylesheet... i found a similar
situation on a forum through google, but ended just suggesting to
wrap it in a <div align="center">... Of course i can just set
the table attributes, but i figured i'd check with y'all
first...

The parent file must be named with an shtm(l) extension IF
you are using
HTML/ASP includes, and IF your host has not enabled
server-parsing for all
files. If you are using PHP includes, then the parent file is
names with a
*.php extension, and so on (for CF/JSP/.Net).
The file being included can have any filename extension you
prefer - I like
*.monkeybutt myself, but that's just me.

I don't think this is what you did. DW doesn't add that when
you save, it
adds that when you create the file. I usually create a plain
text file,
copy and paste the code to be included, and then (depending
on the code
type) save it with an appropriate extension (notwithstanding
my penchant for
monkeybutt), so that the code is properly colored by DW.
