Vertical Distance of Cursor From Top of Page

I am looking for the display that shows the vertical distance of the cursor from the top edge of the page in inches. In every other word processor that I have used there is a read-out at the bottom of the display that shows the current vertical location of the cursor, in inches, from the top edge of the page. In Microsoft Word this a standard feature. For business applications this is an important feature, yet when I speak to Apple's own experts on the telephone they seem to think

I share Peter's curiosity, particularly since an admittedly cursory examination of an MS Word (Win) screen did not reveal the readout mentioned by redpony, or any other indcation of the position of the 'cursor' or of an inserted and selected graphics object. Did I miss a setting somewhere?
I looked at MS Works, MS Word and OpenOffice.org on Windows and at Pages and NeoOffice on Mac OS X.
On Windows:
MS Works does not include a vertical ruler, and the help files didn't suggest one was available.
Didn't see the readout redpony claimed in MS Word 2007, or any indication on the rulers of the current location of either the cursor (mouse pointer) or the insertion point.
OpenOffice.org didn't indicate the location of either, but did mark the vertical and horizontal location of a selected object on both rulers.
On the iBook:
NeoOffice showed the location of a selected object in the same manner that OpenOffice.org did on the Windows machine. Not surprising, as Neo is developed from OOo.
Pages '09 did not show a vertical ruler (on a word processing document) by default, but did so after a change in Pages > Preferences > Rulers. Like the others, Pages did not show the location of the insertion point or the mouse pointer either on the rulers or through a readout. But Pages DID show the location of an object when the object was clicked. The location of the top, vertical center and bottom of the object were shown with index lines on the vertical ruler (if present), and the corresponding three markers were placed on the horizontal ruler. In addition, Pages presented a numerical readout near the object showing the current x and y coordinates of the object's upper left corner with a precision of two places after the decimal.

Barry

  • LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw prints image shifted 1/2" from top of page.

    When printing any report, diagnostic or form from the machine system I get printed image shift approx. 1/2" from the top.
    Is there any adjustment that can be made to the MFP to center image?

    Hi @patrick22152, 
    I understand that when printing documents or a printer hardware self test, it shifts 1/2" from the top of the page. I can help you with this.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    It sounds like the paper isn't feeding properly. Since you are having this issue with the hardware tests and printing from the computer. If it was just the computer, I would check the paper type selected in the print driver, to make sure it isn't set on the proper paper type and not the default unspecified paper.
    Try another type of paper to see if you get the same results.
    I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.

  • Always Find (Cntrl+F) From Top of Page

    I have a question about using the find box (cntrl+F) to search for text on a page.
    I often search for some text, then hit cntrl+f to search for something new, and again...but find it annoying that it searches from my current position on the page.
    Is there a setting to force it to always start the search from the top of the page when I type new text into the find box?
    Or some kind of addon/extension?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response, but unless I'm missing a setting, I don't see any option that will force all searches to start from the top of the page.

  • Moving 'Logon' text From top of page to bottom?

    Hi,
    I'm using a Theme Greyscale #17 in my application. At the top of all my
    pages I have the Company Logo at the Top Left side and a Navigation Bar
    on the Top Right. But the Template puts the Users Login (i.e. JSMITH)
    just to the right of the Company Logo and it looks funny there. Can somebody
    explain how I put the User's login at the bottom left position of the screen?
    I don't have an understanding of how to modify Themes/Templates. Thanks
    for any help.
    Carol
    Currently:
    [Company Logo]JSMITH HOME | LINKS | ADMIN | HELP | LOGOUT
    I'd like it like:

    Go to the shared components section of your application.
    Click on templates
    Find your default page template (There will be a tick mark near it).
    Click on the template name.
    I think the parts you are looking for are: #NAVIGATION_BAR# and &APP_USER.

  • Remove site list from top of page?

    How do you remove list of all ready published sites at the top of the page.
    Thanks in advance,

    You cannot delete a Site.
    iWeb expects it with one page.
    So delete the pages.
    Make sure you do not publish the Site. iWeb will update it. Change the location where you publish. Choose a folder.
    Note : published webpages CANNOT be imported back into iWeb.

  • Huge gap from top of page to my content

    can someone explain why this is happening? visit my website.
    revpictures.com

    The nav layer at the top is 2475pixels high. All the links are on the righthand side of that area.
    I also noticed that you use iWeb 2.0.3. Perhaps updating to iWeb 2.0.4 would solve the problem.

  • Vertical distance- IMAQ clamp max Function

    I need to find Vertical distance in an image-
    First of all, I select a region using a rectangle box. Then i choose the scan direction : Left to right OR Top to Bottom.
    For the Left to right scan direction, I use a IMAQ Clamp max function to calculate distance between the furthest opposite edges. It works fine when the measurement is done horizontal (See Figure 1).
    Now I need to do the measurement in Vertical direction. i.e from top to bottom. I see that i cannot use the IMAQ Clamp max function since measurement is done horizontal in IMAQ Clamp Max. So i used a IMAQ Clamp Vertical Max VI to calculate distance in vertical direction. But now the problem is: If the image is a bit tilted, it gives a wrong result. (See Figure 2)
    I also tried using IMAQ Clamp Vertical Min. But then it ignores the max point. If there is a variation ( bulge outwards or inwards) I need to have result depending on it.
    Is there any ideas to correct the tilt?

    Hi Nghtcrwlr!
    You can use the Max Clamp function with the setting "Vertical" in the Vision Assistant. Make sure that the ROI encloses the entire object in the image. The "Angle Range" parameter controls tolerance of the angle by which the edge can be rotated. If you set the parameter to a small value the algorithm will find the maximum dimension of the object along the vertical axis. However if you allow the algorithm to adapt to a slightly tilted image by setting the value to a higher value it will find the edges of the object and will determine the dimension perpendicular to those edges.
    Hope that helps,
      Georg

  • ALV print issue in top-of-page

    Hi,
    I have developed a alv report using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY function module. I am using top-of-page event in events table to output top-of-page details. It is showing output correctly on screen but when I do a print preview, it is showing only the grid details and no header info from top-of-page. Please advise what can be the issue? I might be missing some parameter somewhere..I am creating my field catalog manually w/o reference to a structure or internal table..can this be a issue..
    Thanks in advance

    Have you passed the program name in parameter I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM

  • X220 dead pixels from top to bottom

    I have had my X220 Tablet for 18 months (purchased November 2011), my one year warranty expired (received no notification it was going to expire back in Nov 2012) but had no problems at all during these 18 months.
    Now, I just turned it on today (July 3rd, 2013) and had a vertical blu-green line from top to bottom at 18.5mm from the left side of the screen. I figure a whole line of pixels of one color (red) had gone off, so it is not a single pixel, it is a whole line.
    I use this convertible tablet about 20% of my time, my workhorse is provided by my workplace (a Dell convertible tablet).  So I was surprised that with so little use the screen has gone bad so soon, and just six months after warranty has expired, and it seems it may get worse.
    I also thought when I purchased it that the screen was LED, then found that it is a LCD with a LED backlight.
    Is the only solution to replace the IPS screen (it's has a multitouch panel)? or is there a software or BIOS solution?
    And if the solution is the replacemente, approximately how much the replacement screen costs?
    Any help, suggestions are appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum!
    The LCD panel will have to be replaced, I'm sorry to say.
    Good luck.

  • Can I stop iWeb from putting a page name at the top?

    I don't want page names across the top in iWeb. I have a list of hyperlinked icons on the side for that.
    Can anyone tell me how to stop iWeb from putting the page name on the page?
    Thanks.

    The script is for the text in the browser title bar.
    The title is taken from the large textbox at the top of each webpage.
    If that box is missing or empty, iWeb uses a next textbox for the title.
    If that is missing too, the pagename is used for the title.
    If you want the title in the titlebar but not the large textbox on your page, select the textbox, do Cm-T and drag the font-size slider to the bottom.
    Then click the color next to the T-icon and drag that opacity slider to the left (0).
    Then resize the textbox to it minimun size and drag it out of view. And don't forget you did.
    But I think the OP means the navigation links at the top.
