TOC format lost when reopening document

I have just received a replacement Intel Core 2 Duo iMac for my previous Intel iMac. I firewired over all my files and programs to the new machine. I then tried to open a large document which had been created using my own templates on my previous iMac.
On opening this file the placement of all the text boxes, graphics and pictures has been lost. On investigation I have discovered that the problem is to do with the loss of formatting in the TOC - the style for one of the TOC headings changes to a larger, embolden font, which knocks the TOC onto two pages, which then affects all the other pages. By the end of a 44 page document, it has increased the pagination to 50 pages. The non-text layer objects, as they are 'fixed on page' remain where they were originally, but their interaction with the text layer creates a complete mess. Reducing the TOC back down to one page does not help, as all the graphics then move up with the surrounding text instead of staying put.
I have spent this afternoon reformatting the whole document from scratch. I then saved my changes, but on reopening as the TOC formatting has changed, then the document is in the same state as it was before.
Although I have experienced this TOC problem before, it is only since I migrated to this iMac that it has had upset all the formatting of the document. Previously if I reduced the TOC back down to a single page, the text and graphics interacted correctly and there was no additional adjustments to be made.
Is there any way that I can make the TOC stable so that it does not have such a detrimental affect on a large document?

You're welcome. Just to be clear -
All links in a TEMPLATE file should be one of three kinds -
1. Relative to the template file, e.g.,
<a href="../ (meaning that you must go up one level from the template folder
to reach the root of the site, hence all other files, since none of them
should be in the templates folder)
2. Relative to the site root, e.g.,
<a href="/ (meaning that one would begin looking for the linked file at the
root of the site and follow the pathing from that point)
3. Absolute, e.g.,
<a href="http:// (meaning that the link is to a page external to the site).
If you see any DOCUMENT RELATIVE LINKS that don't begin with "../" in a Template file, you can be sure that something is wrong.

"Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option not working with all documents

Said option (found under Edit/Preferences, category Documents), which works like an automatic bookmark in that it takes you back to the same place you were at when you last closed a document, is very useful, but apparently doesn't work with *all* documents.
- Does anyone know what determines whether a given document works with this option or not?
- Is this by design or a bug? A matter of PDF format version?
- Is there a way to work around the problem?
I've compared two documents, only one of which works with the option, to determine what the relevant difference may be, and found two suspects (under File/Properties): the PDF version (1.5 in the document that works, 1.4 in the one that doesn't), and 'Fast Web View' ('yes' in the document that works, 'no' in the one that doesn't).
Thanks,
Michael

This seems to be a problem with some PDF files.
Suggested workaround: If the PDF you have allows "Save As", then try save-as to a new file. The "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option should then work as expected (in the new file).

Restore view settings when reopening document

Hi
I have checked the 'restore view settings when reopening document' in the preferences as I was under the impression that this would restore the document to the last page I was reading when I closed the reader. However, it doesn't, it always opens the doc at the first page.
Has anyone else seen this issue? How do I fix it?
I am running Win 7 64-bit, I've tried running reader as administrator but that makes no difference.
Thanks
Matt

Hey fellas!!
I noticed the same issue while reading a novel.So,posted a query and came across your disscussion.Some of my pdfs were doing fine but some were not.I compared the document properties of both the type.Limitations on a pdfs display depend on the producer.If you a viewing a pdf produced by adobe in Adobe reader then it'll work optimally.In case it's not working,then check out the producer and use a compatible reader.
e.g : My problematic pdf was created using Foxit .Fortunately I had the unused foxit software in my system for some time!I Installed it today and it worked like a charm.Easily available through google search and loads faster then adobe reader!
P.S. Looks like our queries have been resolved.But I would love to know of a way to open such files in adobe reader.(Thogh I dont think adobe will take responsibility for some me know alternative producer).So if you happen to find a resolution just let me know here : [email protected]

Crystal 2011 - Formats lost when published to CMC

Hi team,
Here's my issue...
Have exported a Crystal 2009 report and saved it into 2011.
I noted that some of the formats had changed slightly. i.e. font size, paragraph line spacing
Fixed these, ran the report from crystal 2011 and exported the report to PDF, looks great!
Published the report to CMC and ran a test hoping to get the same results, however this time the formats are gone?
Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong, please.
Thanks,
Simon

Thanks for your reply, the formats are being lost when I export to PDF.
We wonder if the problem is something to do with the way the text was formatted in the older version of crystal and that exporting and importing into Crystal 2011 has lost some of this.

PowerView worksheets lost when reopening Excel documents

I have a test machine that is a clean installation of Office 2013 for testing PowerView.
When I create a PowerView worksheet in Excel 2013 and then save the Excel document, the PowerView sheets are not saved. When I reopen the Excel document all the PowerViews have been replaced with images.
Does this happen to anyone else?
I haven't found anything in the documentation that says anything about not being able to save PowerViews within Excel documents.

Yes, it looks like a sheet of paper.
When you tap that, you have to scroll left or right to go through the sheets. Select the one you want and then tap on it to go into it.

Character Styles lost when reopening a document

Having set Character Styles as usual (in this case with green type), when I reopened the same document all the type to which I had previously applied styles all reverted to black. When I checked the Character Styles list the green was as exactly as I had specified it, but it nevertheless displayed as black in the document.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Monika. I think I went through all the steps mentioned in the post you suggested, including loading swatches first. The problem is that I'm working on a map with hundreds of names already positioned – I simply want to change the font and other attributes without having to retype all the names. This is fine until I close the document and reopen it when, annoyingly, most of the names (not all of them, oddly) display in black. Fortunately, each class of name (towns, rivers, etc) are on a different layer, so it's not altogether difficult to reapply styles – just annoying that I should need to do it at all.
From what I've read, this appears to be an ongoing problem. I'm using CC on a Mac, btw.

Formatting lost when exported to excel

When I export a worksheet results to excel the formatting is being lost like in my worksheet I wanted a line and space for every grouped item which is lost in excel sheet. Is there a way get around for this ?
Thanks

Not exactly sure what formatting you're having a problem with, but I'll list some of the points I can think of, of exporting to Excel and will hopefully cover it. I believe you may be referring to point 1 below, but just in case ...
1. If you have group sort on for a column or more, then when exported to Excel, you won't have those 'blank' values for the column(s) that's grouped. That's why when you know someone will be exporting to Excel, it's a pain as all group sorts are usually taken back off (which can screw up exactly what you're trying to point out in the workbook).
2. If you have a page -> item (ie: lots of values you pull down like a LOV), then I believe, that you won't get an Excel worksheet for each value in the LOV but only for the one currently displayed when you performed the File -> Export.
3. When you export to Excel, you only get actual values, no functions of how it was calculated (ie: it'll be static, not dynamic).
4. You can export to Excel using Plus and might not get the formatting characteristics you want in Excel. I've seen users specifically bring up Viewer just to get the formatting characteristics (colors, fonts, etc.) when they export from that Disco version.
5. Sometimes when you export from Disco to Excel, that actual value that gets posted in Excel is different. I know ... it sounds wierd, but it's a fact. The problem is NOT Disco, but is a problem with Windows and a setting has to be altered (although I'd have to hunt what that setting is now though). However, I've only seen this happen a few times, so definitely not the norm.

Word TOC links lost when PDF created

I'm trying out Acrobat Pro XI- the trial version.
The links in the source Word 2007 document work properly, are hyperlinked, all that good stuff. I can PDF using other software and the TOC links work properly.
When I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, no TOC links when the PDF is created.
I've searched the forum - the only suggestion I found does not apply.
Thanks

Look at the Preferences in Word's Acrobat tab and see if it's checked properly.

Persistent prompt date format changes when reopening report in Webi

Hi all
I have a PERISTENT prompt that asks for a date when you run the report. The format is "MM/dd/yyyy". I also have a variable that displays this value in the form:
=ToDate(UserResponse([Query 1];"Please enter date:");"MM/dd/yyyy")
When the report is run the prompt works and you select the date from the calendar and all works fine. You can refresh the report and keep the persistent date prompt value if you like. Great.
The problem comes when the report is saved and then reopened for modifying.
On my report I get #ERROR associated with the above variable. This is because the peristent value in the prompt has been "re-loaded" in the format "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a".
The only way I have found to resolve this is to refresh the report and reselect a date which makes the persistent prompt kind of useless if you close the report.
Any suggestions on solving this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sharon

Sharon,
The problem comes when the report is saved and then reopened for modifying.
When opening the report in something other than modify, does the problem also occur? I too have noticed different behavior with persistent date prompts and whether running in modify or Infoview modes. Most deployments do not give their users the ability to run a public report in modify mode (though, possibly they could copy it to their own Favorites and run it in modify mode there). So perhaps this "problem" is by design and is resolved by running the report in the more common Infoview mode?
Thanks,
John

Format lost when using template

I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on my Windows XP PC
I have been following a Dreamweaver tutorial found at http://www.thesitewizard.com which has been very helpful up until now. I am at the stage where I have created my template from my index.html document now saved as index.dwt
I have created the standard editable regions, saved, closed and created a New file from the "Page from Template" using the newly created index.dwt file.
Here is what the index.dwt template file looks like in my internet browser preview and in DW...
and here is what the index.html file looks like in the browser preview and in DW ...
The layout is gone, and the editable regions are at the bottom of the locked template regions.
I have tried to place a link to my temp webserver but it only shows a directory tree and the index file appears much different then the images above so I hope these images are enough to go on.
Thanks in advance for any assitance.

Format lost when printing to Generic Text Printer after recent upgrade

We recently upgraded Crystal and now the texty file output from a generic text printer has losst its formatting.
The text appears like this:
S
u
m
m
a
r
y
There si an OD character after each letter.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Hi Mike,
That is odd.... What happens if you check on the No Default Printer, save the report and then check it off, or the other way depending on what your original setting is?
If you create a new report do you see the same results?
Also, XI is no longer patchable but you can upgrade to XI R2 for free. Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
To enable the full XI R2 features locate the Keycode link and get a new one for XI R2.
Thank you
Don

Conditional formatting (colour) lost when form is saved and reopened?

Hi All
This one has got me confused! I have set drop downs to change color depending on the selection using the following code:
if ($.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) == "1") {
this.resolveNode("$").ui.oneOfChild.border.fill.color.value = "153, 204, 0";
if ($.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) == "2") {
this.resolveNode("$").ui.oneOfChild.border.fill.color.value = "255, 153, 0";
etc
I have this in the 'Change' event and the 'Layout Ready' event, I have also tried it in the 'Initialize' event but with no success. The issue is this: the colour changes fine as the user fills in the form however is lost when they save and reopen (the selection values are fine just the color coding is lost)
BTW I am saving the PDF with 'Extended Features' as I thought maybe this could be a 'licence' related issue with Adobe Reader
Does any one have any idea of where to look to solve my problem please?
Many thanks
Ellis

Hi - yes Iv'e tried in in several events inc 'Initialize' anbd 'Layout Ready', 'Doc Ready' - just cant seem to get it to work.
Here is the troublesome portion of the form, if you add some impact ratings the color will change, then save and close the form, reopen and the color formatting is lost

Any help appreciated
