Texts in F4 Help

Hi,
While displaying the F4 for any of the fields,
the source of Data is either of the following.
1. Match code/Search Help
2. Check Table
3. Value Range in the Domain
4. Value Table assigned to the Domain.
In the first three cases, it is possible and easy to show value, plus text description of the value.
But, in the fourth case, it might be like, the value reference is just a reference and text field is not available.
How do we know if the Text is available or not?
Or is it like, the non key fields form the Description?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Suryakiran D.

Hi,
You can get the descriptions of the data from Text tables Like :
TSTC : SAP Transaction Codes
TSTCT : Transaction Code Texts
r you looking for the same ?

Question already asked and answered several times.
It's a bug striking in long documents.
Select a word somewhere higher in the page then use the arrows to reach the wanted insertion point.

How to create hyperlinked text in F1 help of a particular Data Element.

Dear Guru
I have encountered an issuse regarding to create hyperlinked text in F1 help of a particular Data Element.
For Example what i am trying to do is ---
If you open a particular data element say "ATNAM" in se11 you will found the below documentation available for ATNAM -->>
DE ATNAM
Text
Characteristic Name
Definition
Name that uniquely identifies a *characteristic*.
>> The "characteristics" comes in hyperlinked bluecolor and if we press this it linked to below --- >>
Definition: characteristic
Classification (CA-CL)
Property for describing and distinguishing between objects, such as length, color, or weight.
Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)
I am able to make 1st part of the documentation using SE61.
But I am not able to make Hyperlinked part of that documentaion .
please show me some way to develop this
Thanks & regards
Saifur Rahaman

HI,
you can give the hyperlink in the documentation by going to the path below
MENUBAR ----> INSERT -----> TEXT -----> HYPERTEXT.
this will solve the issue
have a good day

I have dell xps it runs at 3840 x 2167 and bridge lightroom and photoshop are unusable as the type is so small if win is re scaled to a low res the products still use full res and you canot see text can you help!

I am about to buy the above products for home and a laptop I bought the high res laptop for editing photos and the photos look great on the display but I cannot use photo shop and lightroom
has any body had this problem and is there a simple fix that I have missed
taking the res down in the control panel reduces the res but does not effect the programme
by the way the dell xps is great
dave

Thanks for the info I know that there were problems with the high res
I am using the latest photoshop and bridge from the cloud but only using the trial copy at the
moment
I will look closer and try to scale it to a suitable level
thanks dave

There is that pitfall in buying HiDpi laptops for Windows.
Only Photoshop CC 2014 has the option to scale the UI 200% in order to make it usable on these hires screens.
CC and earlier does not have this and Adobe would have to retrofit them. Not likely with older products.

Toggle iMessage Off then On
Turning iMessage off then on again worked for my particular issue. You can do this by following these steps:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Messages“
Slide “iMessages” to off for about 3 minutes, then turn it back on.
Your iPhone will be re-registered and may clear up the duplicate text message notification problem.
Repeat Alerts Setting
There is a setting that repeats notifications which could cause this issue. Check it with these steps:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Notification Center“.
Choose “Messages“.
Ensure that the “Repeat Alerts” setting is set to “Once“.
Send & Receive Setting
Another setting that involves sending notifications to multiple numbers could be the issue as well. Check the following:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Messages“.
Choose “Send & Receive“.
Ensure that only your phone number is listed in the “You can be reached by iMessage at” area. If you have an email address or anything else listed, it could cause duplicate text messages.

How can I change the text in F1 Help?

These functions can display F1 HELP.
But I want to send a text using functions,
and display F1 HELP.

Are your drawing layers locked and the text layers unlocked? So far it sounds as if the "Copy" command isn't grabbing anything but the text. I've had a similar problem with text not coming across when I saved my vector art as a raster image: for that I had to remove a compound path or something from the text before it would come over.
Make sure your layers (and sublayers) aren't locked, and check your compound paths and clipping masks to see if there's something funny going on.

At the end of my IMovie I want to write some text: as in" Happy Birthday Mandy we had a great time with you. etc.. How do I go about this? Which icon in IMovie lets me have a place to write text?? help please

Please see my ? above: Im making an IMovie and need the last frame to just be text (can be on a color). I don't know how to go about doing this. Ive already done all my photos and captions. Need to have it ready for TOMORROW: Friday May 23rd. Help please!

You can choose a background for the text from Maps and Backgrounds. Just drag a background to the end of the timeline, adjust to desired duration then drag title above it.

Hi Moni,
The problem as I had replied in your earlier post is with the MODIFY statement.
MODIFY TABLE ITAB FROM ITAB. This statement will do the modifications based on the table key. When you have character fields as editable, then some problems are to be anticipated. In such a scenario, you must update the internal table based on the index, rather than based on key.
So consider using
MODIFY ITAB FROM ITAB INDEX TCL-CURRENT_LINE.
Where TCL is the name of the Table Control. Also observe the difference in syntax here, don't use the TABLE keyword for the MODIFY statement.
Please try it out and let me know.
Regards,
Anand Mandalika.

CS4 Text Wrap issue - HELP!

HELP! I taught myself PageMaker 6.5 and I got REALLY good at the basics, but not so great at the in-depth things. Consequently, when I upgraded to InDesign CS4, the same holds true, so please feel free to treat me like a 2-year-old in your explanations. Now for my dilemma:
I create a quarterly magazine. Most of the pages are 2- or 3-column spreads. Many times, a photograph (and its caption) will span more than just one column, but not necessarily the entire width of two. In other words, my photo could span all of column 1 and 1/2 of column 2, with the text flowing to the right of the photograph, then expanding to fill all of column no. 2 beneath it. In PageMaker, when I text-wrapped around the pic, leaving enough bottom text wrap to insert my captioning, the text would wrap perfectly, keeping the text in perfect alignment horizontally across the columns. That, in turn, kept the bottom edge of all my columns exactly equal.
In InDesign, however, that's not the case. The text doesn't align equally horizontally across the columns, hence ruining my clean horizontal text margin at the bottom. This happens any time I have a photo that spans all of one and part of one (or two, in the case of a centered photograph) column. In fact, even if I place a photo that fits within just one column, the horizontal text alignment gets screwed up. I'm attaching a .pdf of page 35 of the issue I'm working on to show you what I mean.
I've tried choosing all three columns and clicking the "align top edges," but that just drags all three columns up to the 1/2 inch margin at the top of the page, and my text actually starts 1/4" beneath that (3/4" from the top page edge) because of the page numbering, and when I drag all three columns back down to the 3/4" mark, the wrapping gets all screwed up again. So I tried "align bottom edges," and that didn't work either (it worked to a point... anything that actually had text flowing to the bottom of the column was fine, the same thing occurred then above the column with a photo spanning all of it. Geez, I'm confused just trying to explain it. Hopefully, the attached .pdf will help make sense of this.
Consequently, I'm moving columns manually for this issue (all 60 pages of it), because it has to be at the printers by the end of the weekend and I'm just plain out of time. If anyone can give me some guidance so I don't have to do this again next time, I'd really appreciate it.
You can email me at [email protected] if you have any ideas. Thanks for your help.

Thanks so much to both Peter and Bob. I'm sure this will fix the problem. At least I know it wasn't something I was doing wrong and it really is a glitch in the program. I'll play with the baseline grid, since it seems that will be the best option. I have a few months to experiment with it before the next issue goes to press.
Does setting a preference act like a default? In other words, will it then apply to all pages in all new documents I create or is it specific to the document in which I'm working when I set it? If the latter, I'm guessing I can just include it when I set up my master page so it will apply throughout the issue? Which, of course brings me to yet another question: how do I save my Master Pages so I don't have to redo them with each issue?
I'm finding that the majority of InDesign is a lot more user-friendly and easier to navigate than the old PageMaker -- many fewer steps for the same end result. I hope to take a class if I can find one in my area, because I'm certain I'm doing many things the "hard way." Learning as you go is okay, but you miss a lot of the finer points along the way and spend entirely too much time trying to figure things out or bugging people like you in this forum.
I apologize if some of what I ask seems rather elementary.
And Scott, sorry, but I've always felt that, out of all the fonts available, Comic Sans is the most readable.

Read from Text File Detailed Help need Clean-up

This is probably well known and nobody has bothered fixing it but the detailed Help of the "Read from Text File" function is sort of ambiguous:
- statement 1: refnum out is the refnum of the file that the function read. You can wire this output to another file function, depending on what you want to do with the file. The default is to close the file if it is referenced by a file path or selected from the file dialog box. If file is a refnum or if you wire refnum out to another function, LabVIEW assumes that the file is still in use until you close it.
- statement 2: If you wire a path to file, the function opens the file before reading from it and closes it afterwards.
I have found statement 1 to be correct, which makes statement 2 incomplete (and sort of tautological in the sense that 1) you expect LabVIEW to open the file before reading from it if you provide a path instead of a refnum... and 2) if you use a path input to file AND use the refnum out for some other function, the file is NOT closed, as correctly stated in statement 1).
Just sayin' ...

X,
It deeply concerns me that you would take my response to mean indifference. I certainly had no intention to belittle what you had to say. On the contrary, I took this up with the concerned team, and had a small discussion. If you say that what someone says on this forum is of lesser or no value to National Instruments, you could not be more wrong. It defeats the whole purpose of this public forum.
My point was not that it is not an issue, it certainly seems to be. Please be rest assured that even if it does not look like it from the outside, each comment however big or small is taken back to our workplaces and some thoughts poured over it.
On the whole, I recognise that I had a role to play in this misunderstanding of tone, and I sincerely apologise.
Warm Regards,
Prashanth N
