Text formatting options

Hi,
Is there a list somewhere which outlines more text formatting options than what is shown in the FAQ?
In particular I'm wondering how to make text that does not suppress white space other than using the "code" tag.
Also, the insert link option a shown above does not seem to work, or am I just stupid?
Thanks.

Instead, I'm using [ url=<insert link here> ] text [ /url ] (without the extra spaces in tags). Normal html link tag might work as well.

How to provide text formatting options to user from a text field

Hi,
My requirement is - in the interactive form, a comments field needs to be provided where user should be able to enter text with formatting options like
Headers
indentations
bold/italic
bullet points and numbers
Once user enters the formatted texts in a text field, data needs to be displayed/printed in the same format. Could you help me on how to provide these formatting options to the user for a particular text field?
I understand that once I define the text field with format XHTML (with RTF), user formatting can be captured and displayed in the same way. But I am not sure on how to provide the formatting options for the text field.
Thank you,
Madhu

Hi,
if you select a text field for Rich Text and the press Ctrl + E you'll get a bar for all available text formatting options in Acrobat/Reader.

Sorry I ain't done yet. My trigger happy go lucky phone send the message at a flash. I tried to work around the none formatting issue using the word in the office but as I could not get it to work as expected within reasonable amount of time and number of tries I gave up. If you format a phrase and copy it it just copies the last format and ignores the copied formatting. Plus how do you make the f. Keyboard go away easily? Why internet has no forward arrow, only back! Is this some kind of joke? Why when texting can't you move back and forth with arrows, just the stupid cursor. NO undo function????? Elementary mr Watson, elementary. +You have to be an oracle to guess when an app will close when u hit the back arrow rather than go back!! Apps must not close like that. Pretty disheartening. Pretty pretty for a good looking phone like this.
And to be honest I am not going to buy a new phone for another three to four years come hell. Unless wify breaks my old one she uses now and I give her the brick.

How do I enable bold/italic text formatting in blog module on website?

For some reason I can't figure out how to enable more text formatting options on our blog. We used the blog module on a muse template. I customized the module to apply fonts we used on our website. The main text on the blog is Lato.
Link to blog: Coupar Consulting
When we go in to write a post you can use the bold/italics options and it shows up in the edit window as shown in the screenshot below:
The font is not correct, but because I set the font in the module to use Lato it does show as lato when you publish, see preview below (notice no bold or italic text):
What am I missing??
Thanks in advance!!

Use your browsers console and inspect tool. This stuff becomes very easy.
address,caption,cite,code,dfn,em,strong,th,var,optgroup
font-style: inherit;
font-weight: inherit;
Line 34 ish in - http://www.couparconsulting.com/css/site_global.css?3869595648
This overides the font bold style on strong.

Can't select vertical text formatting since Win 7

Please help.
Have recently upgraded to win 7 and now I cannot select any text formatting options in the drop down text menus. I can see them, but the drop down menu buttons don't work.
Has anyone had this happen?
I have spent so much time on the computer and it's so hard to get any work done.
Advice would be much appreciated
I would like to go back to XP but the computer guy says that's not possible.
Thanks
ZeeBud

Thank you so much for responding Peter. I feel one step closer to being able to get my work done.
Your solution means that I can now use the tools in the tools palette, but no luck with being able to use the text selection drop down menus.
It's quizzical. I can select the fonts by clicking through file the file path> type> font. Just not through drop downs.
Any thoughts anyone?

Css text formatting

most css text formatting options can be found under the font or text family of properties
(ie font-size, font-family, text-align, text-shaddow ect)
but there are a few which do not fall under the text or font properties
letter-spaceing, line-height and colour are some examples
why are these not covered under font/text
it would be usefull if i knew that environments such as dreamweaver would hint at all avaliable options when i typed in text or font
and are there any other stand alone ones which i didnt mention.

Because that's the way the CSS 2.1 standard was written. They are not listed under font/text because they are not listed that way under the CSS 2.1 spec. Reading through the spec will let you see how the authors of the spec organized things: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/.
Dreamweaver does hint at them when you start typing in code-view (via autocomplete). But you have to know at least the first letters of the CSS code you're trying to write.
The issue you're experiencing lies more with the organization of the CSS 2.1 specification then with Dreamweaver. Could Dreamweaver maybe make it easier to discover the other CSS attributes (like line height) that impact font/text? Probably. But it may just be easier to learn the language.

Changing text size in form field (rich text formatting enabled)

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've created an interactive PDF with form fields with "Rich Text Formatting" enabled.
My client has filled in the fields and would like to make the text bigger. When right-click, there are only options to change the text style (bold, italics etc) but nothing to change the text size. I'm not keen on disabling and then re-enabling the "Rich Text Formatting" options as the text have been formatted (bold, italics, superscript, subscript etc) and approved, and this will remove all the existing formatting.
Can anyone help?

Thanks so much!! Really appreciated!
Strangely enough, I found the Form Field Text Properties dialogue box by randomly choosing "Hyperlink" in the right-click options. Who would have thought!

Formatting options with text wrap

We are running BPC MS v10 and gave users the ability to enter comments with our input forms this year. I am pulling the comments into a summary report using a local member which works fine. The problem is I want to format these cells and use left alignment with word wrap enabled in order to view the full comment in each cell. When I select any of the cells in the comment column the alignment and text wrap options are both "selected" in the Excel ribbon but it is not wrapping the comments onto the next line. I have to uncheck the wrap text option in the ribbon and reselect before it will actually wrap to the next line.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Not trivial, but you could Select All, Copy to get the entire imported document onto the Clipboard. Then open a New Pages Word Processing document and then Edit > Paste and Match Style. The new document will match the defaults in the template. If you find that you will be doing this often, make a custom template for this use.

Text Format/Style/Spacing options

I am still working in iWork '09 to give Apple a chance to deal with the bugs and dropped features in the 2013 release. I'm giving the new Pages a test run now to see if it is ready for prime time.
I noticed a Lines popdown menu in the Spacing pane of the Style tab of the text Format inspector. The options (Lines / At Least / Exactly / Between) seem non-standard. Is there any documentation on them? I couldn't find anything in Pages Help.
Related questions, perhaps:
Apple seems to have revised its image placement options in new Pages. I presume this to make export to ePUB easier/more consistent/whatever, but that's guesswork on my part. Does anyone know of any paper where the features of the latest iWork releases are discussed, especially as concerns eBook production?
Thanks in advance,

Lines is multiples of the largest object, character on the line of text. It is useful for varying size objects such as inline images, tables, textboxes and shapes. It can make individual line spacing vary within a paragraph.
At Least does what it says, sets a minimum line space but can go larger if required.
Exactly sets a fixed line space that does not change no matter what the size of anything on the line. This spaces a paragraph uniformly.
Between is the standard single spacing between lines plus or minus what you set here.

How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

Hi,
You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
Following idea could be your task flow
Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
|
v
Router
1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
hope it helps,

How to include formating options present in "FormatTextEdit" UI element in Smartform

Hi All,
I need your help in below requirement
We need to use FormatTextEdit UI element in our WDA, so that text entered in UI element along with formatting options needs to be printed in PDF form through smartform.
We are using Smartform to get PDF not adobe form. So we are facing issue in converting HTML tags which we get as a result of "FormatTextEdit" UI element in smartform.
In PDF ( which is generated using Smartform inside our component), HTML tags are getting printing like
We tried using "cl_wd_formatted_text", but could not find solution in integrating those HTML tags inside our smartform.
Is there is any FM or Utility to convert HTML tags to smartform or any other approach to fulfil our requirement?
Please help.
Thank you
Sangeetha

Hi,
You can convert smart form or RTF text to HTML tags but not the other way. There is no such provision. You can check the class CL_WD_FORMATTED_TEXT which has method to convert smartform/sap script to /formatted text . May be you can check that and try to do the reverse way.
But SAP doesn't have any such provision to convert HTML to other formats.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Kiran

Custom Text Format not available

Hi,
I'm trying to specify a column (text datatype) in a report as a hyperlink, but when I navigate to the column properties screen and check the "Overide default data format" box, I only have the two "Plain Text" options in the drop down list. This is driving me crazy as I know I should be able to select HTML, hyperlink, etc, but for some reason they're not present...
Is there any reason why they may have become unavailable?
Many thanks,
Andy

Turns out the answer is fairly straightforward, though reasonably well hidden...
metalink3 note 739736.1 gives the answer:
"Customer wants to set the data format of a column to HTML or hyperlink. To do this they need the privilege "Save System-Wide Column Formats".
When they don't have this privilege, they are only able to set the data format to "plain text".
This is the current behaviour of the application and there is no workaround."
Lo and behold, changing the privilege sorted all the format options...

DECODING MAIL FROM WEB SERVER IN PLAIN TEXT FORMAT(THE MAIL BEING SENT BY LABVIEW APPLICATION)

Hi All
I have a labview application that send mail every hour automatically.
But actually the mail has to be decoded from the web server(by another application).But now when that application decode the data in the mail(that is send by labview application)its getting some funny characters inside that can not be detected by the decoding application
(When open the mail no problem.)But actually our goal is to decode the mail from the web server.
Why the extra characters are appearing when decoding from the server?Is it because of the HTML format?
Is there option to send the mail in plain text format(not like attachment)?
In outlook we can change the setting (tools->options->send->mail sending format->....here we can set as HTML format/Plain Text format)
Like that at the sending time can i chenge the sending option as plain text format in my labview application?
Thanks...

Then it sounds to me like this other application is not decoding the attachment correctly, especially if you looked at the attachment yourself after you received it and verified it's correct.
No, no, smercurio. This is charcter encoding here. In older versions of LabVIEW you could specify what character encoding to use when sending an email through the SMTP VIs. But that gave problems since people in certain locales used certain characters that where not transfered right when the wrong encoding was specified, and that encoding stuff is not understood by most people at all, so the wrong selected encoding was rather the rule than the exception. In newer versions of LabVIEW do the SMTP VIs handle the encoding automatically based on the currently used locale on the system.
This change is documented in the Upgrade Notes of LabVIEW and probably happened around LabVIEW 7.1 or 8.0.
A decent mail client will recognize the encoding and convert it back to whatever is necessary before presenting it to the user. The OPs posters server application obviously isn't a smart mail client but probably just some crude text file parser that has no notion of proper mail character encoding and how to deal with it.
I would suppose that there is a chance to dig into the SMTP VIs itself and try to manipulate or disable that encoding altogether in there but that may open a whole can of worms somewhere else. The proper way would be to process the incoming mail by a character encoding aware mail client before passing it to the text parser. On Unix setting up something like this would be fairly trivial.
