Text variables with multiple lines

Like in my other question: we typeset a lot of juridical books.
We use text variables in the header for showing the current chapter and for example current author of that chapter.
So we let the paragraph style of the chapter show in the header.
When the title is longer then 2 lines in the header, Indesign pushes everything on 1 line. It becomes unreadable.
We have a solution by putting 2 character style variables underneath each other on the master page or just manually make a new master with the good title on 2 or more lines.
I have to ask Adobe to look to this 'issue', is this the right place?

No this isn't the right place - this is a user to user forum -
You can add your request here https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
What I do is - setup a nested style for
Runhead line 1 up to 50 characters 
Runhead line 2 up to end nested style
Of course you need to have 2 running head styles based on Character Styles
And insert those into the master page
Or this will save you tonnes of work

  • SQLPLUS: define variable with multiple lines

    Hi All,
    I need define a varaible with multiple lines as following:
    define schema_name = 'aaa',
    'bbb',
    'ccc';
    select * from tb_test where sName in &schema_name;
    However, it seems SQLPLUS dose not like the way I define the variable. What I want to do is to select * from tb_test where sName in ('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc'). I would like to use multiple lines in the define.  Any suggestion?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    If the substitution variable contains special characters, such as spaces or single-quotes, then enclosed the whole value in double-quotes, like this:
    DEFINE  schema_list = "'aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc'"
    If you really need linefeeds in the value, then you might have to use COLUMN ... NEW_VALUE (or OLD_VALUE) to set the value.  For example:
    COLUMN schema_list_col NEW_VALUE schema_list
    SELECT  '''aaa'', ' || CHR (10)
         || '''bbb'', ' || CHR (10)
         || '''ccc'''     AS schema_list_col
    FROM    dual;

  • Text Field with multiple lines

    I am trying to create a text field in the selection screen where it can insert a text with multiple lines for instance those text fields which you can see online where you can key in text lines after lines.
    How do you do that in ABAP?

    Hi
    See any Std program code for CREATING long Text lines
    See any application document HEADER or ITEM text and copy that code
    first declare a field with some table field
    like
    PARAMETERS: p_text like Tline-tdname.
    then keep a button (for Long text) and in the program write a code such that when you press on that line it will take you to text ediotr
    using the CREATE_TEXT fun module
    copy it from a std program text..

  • How to create text box with multiple lines in selection screen.

    Hi,
    i need to create a text box to capture comment with 300 characters. i want to achive this without using module pool,is there any posibilities to that
    regards
    raja

    Since text on Report screens is limited basically to what's left on a line in the selection screen, you'll have to use Module Pool.
    however, you can call a screen from a report program and use the editor within a Custom Control on the screen.  Not a tough thing to do.

  • Printing PDFs with Multiple lines enabled

    Hi, I need some help with Designer. I have no clue how to really use it, I've been playing with it for a week, but some things I can't figure out.
    I have a text field that fits about 1 line of text on it. I enabled multiple lines in the field, because people are going to be typing a lot. However, when I print it, only 1 of the lines shows up. Is there any way that I can fix the settings so that the box expands as the text is typed, and that if it can expand, the entire page shrinks to keep it to the same amount of page numbers instead of bumping everything down the page? If someone out there knows, please help!!!
    Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    Maybe this can help:
    1 - Save your form as a Dynamic Form
    2 - Place a subform with Flow content
    3 - Place a text box with multiple line in the sub form. Make it expand to fit (layout tab) and Data Format XHTML (binding tab)
    4 - Put the contents in the field
    5- Click outside the field and print it.

  • How to make an editable bulleted list with multiple lines and custom bullets?

    How do I create an editable bulleted list in Acrobat Pro? I've figured out how to add text fields with multiple lines, and how to add a list box, but I don't see the check box for multiple lines in the list box or how to add bullet points. Can someone please give me step by step instructions? Also is it possible to use custom bullet points?

    Is it a text field or a list box field? The two are not the same...
    The bullets are something that the user will have to enter manually (into a text field, they can only select values in a list-box).
    They can use any unicode character, or special characters if the font used for that field allows for it. You can't use images for the bullets, if that's what you mean.

  • Text with multiple lines limit each line to 10 digits

    better option is to use INCLUDE statement in SCRIPTS. its a script control command and you no need to use READ_TEXT and to loop it and send each line to script.
    if you use the above INCLUDE control command, SAP will take care of printing total text of that Object.
    here is the syntax :
    <b>/: INCLUDE name [OBJECT o] [ID i] [LANGUAGE l] [PARAGRAPH p] [NEW-PARAGRAPH np]</b>
    here /: indicates its an Control command.
    you have to use NAME, ID, LANGUAGE adn OBJECT here.
    if you give these details in the Text editor of script layout,automatically data will be printed on the screen.
    ex:
    /: INCLUDE &EKKO-EBELN& OBJECT EKKO ID X LANGUAGE E
    Hope you got the Idea.
    <b>here is brief help about INCLUDE:</b>
    Use INCLUDE to include the contents of another text into your text. The text to be included exists separately from yours and is only copied at the time of the output formatting. With INCLUDE, since the text is only read and inserted during the output formatting, the most current version of the required text is always available.
    and IF you are very specific about using READ_TEXT to display the contents,
    then you have to LOOP that table and call the WRITE_FORM to print the line on the layout.
    LOOP AT IT_TDLINES.
      CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
    ENDLOOP.

    Yes, not only RichEditBox but also RichTextBlock can also do this. Besides TextBox also have TextWrapping functionality.

  • Having trouble with multiple lines

    I'm trying to fill out this form for an application that is a read/enter/print only PDF, and I got to a multiple line box and instead of being able to enter text in line for line, when you try to enter text it shows as one big format which I can't change. Illustration below:
    http://i.imgur.com/Yukk8.jpg
    I don't know if it's some setting I have wrong or they didn't make the text box right or what, but I need to know if there's anything I can do to fix it because they mandated that the form be filled out electronically. Thanks in advance.

    I can't say for certain without looking at the actual PDF but it does appear that they created one large text box over multiple lines. For a fillable form it may have been smarter to remove the lines and create a box with smaller text that supports multiple lines.
    At any rate, nothing you can do about it with the free Reader (and depending on the security, maybe nothing with Acrobat either.)

  • Mail saving text attachments with DOS line endings

    dear all,
    i just noticed that Mail saves text attachments with DOS line endings (CR+LF), even if the original contains UNIX line endings (LF). how can i disable this behaviour?

    Using Automator, one can make a Desktop application that simulates dos2unix.
    The Automator application shown here, will prompt the user to choose one or multiple (using command key) text files, and will then use Perl to process each file in-place, replacing the carriage return-line feed pairs with just a line feed. I tested this on a folder of text files where each file had more than 1 CRLF pair. Afterwards, there were only LF. The last thing this application does is slide out an OS X notification with processing status and number of files affected. I borrowed, and adapted the Perl block from Stack Overflow.

  • How to Restrict Single Delivery Date for PO with Multiple Line Items

    Dear Experts,
    How to Restrict Single Delivery Date for PO with Multiple Line Items.
    System needs to through Error Message if User Inputs Different Delivery Dates for PO with Multiple Line Items in ME21N Tcode.
    Can we achive this by Some Enhancement in SAP or Not ???
    If so how to do it.
    Any Inputs is highly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Selvakumar. M

    Hi Selvakumar,
    we can resrict the PO to have a single delivery date in all the line items by means of giving a error message or overwiting the delivery date keyed/determined in the line item.
    You can use the BADI -> ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. In which you need to implement the method PROCESS_SCHEDULE.
    (for technical aid - This method will be called for each and every PO line item, From the imporing parameter im_schedule we can get all the details of current PO line, even we can change the data in the current PO line. )

  • Used of Sap text variable with replacement path in Bo designer

    Dear experts,
    I created a univers based on a SAp BW query. In this query I used a text variable in order to get dynamic header columns.
    The text variable is done by using "replacement path" that is the text is derived automatically from the user input triggered by a sap bw variable.
    example :
    the query contains a restricted key figure which shows net values for a selected year based on variable PYEAR.
    The name of this restricted keyfigure is &ZYEAR& where ZYEAR is the text variable with replacement path from the variable PYEAR.
    When generated the univers based on this query I get component &YEAR&.
    When I use this unvers in WebI my result containts header with &YEAR& althougth I selected for example the year 2006.
    According to several how to and white papers on SDN , it seems that text variables with replacement path are supported. So I am disapointed by this result.
    Can you give me advise to get a rigth result ?
    thanks a lot
    Olivier Doubroff

    Hi Rishit,
    I am trying to achieve the same as you, but it seems like text variables in restricted key figures do not work. I am using BO XI3.1 SP3 and SAP BW 7.01 SP6.
    A work-around for me has been to use the "user response" function in webi to create a webi variable that holds the dynamic text title. If the user inputs Jan 2010, I change the input to a date using the "user response" and "ToDate" functions in the webi variable editor. After changing the input to a date I use the RelativeDate to extract 1 month (e.g. 25 days) from the user input. Then I have both Jan 2010 and Dec 2010 as webi variables to use as headers for my restricted key figures.
    The formulas can easily become a little long, but by tweaking the user response string, you should be able to get dynamic headings by using webi functionality. But be aware that you need one webi variable for each dynamic heading if you use this method.
    Let me know if it works or if I can help more:-)
    Best regards,
    Morten

  • Time Format using text variable with replacement path

    Hi Friends,
                                 I've used "Text variable with replacement path" to make the column heading dynamic by replacing the values referring from "0calday"...
    everything is working fine, but here it is displaying the time format like
    YYYYMMDD (20030101), i want it to be displayed DDMMYYYY (01012003) in the column heading... how to make it possible?
    pls waiting for ur inputs, it's an urgent...
    Regards,
    Pattnaik

    Hi Satyakam,
    In the text variable properties make sure that in the replacment path you have chosen "Text" to appear date as per user setting . Other wise as in your case it must be set to "Key" which always shows in the format YYYYMMDD.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards
