Vertical text direction / orientation in tables. (RoboHelp 7 and/or 8)

Hello all,
I need to squeeze a fairly full table (lots of columns) into a printable page width.
In order to do this, I need to put text into some of the cells so that they read vertically. I can do this in MS Word tables (menu > Format > Text Direction) and need an equivalent in RH. Preferably RH7, (but can import into RH8 if I must ).
Any ideas anyone?

Hi Philip
My guess is that you can probably fudge it using CSS. But it won't be something RoboHelp will assist with in any way.
Check the link below for one hit I found. Use Google searching for vertical text in HTML to find others.

Can't change text direction in a table

Hi all
I was making a table in pages but were not able to alter text direction within a cell, any help

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '08 forum.
As Yvan says, rotation of text in a table cell is not a supported feature in Pages. You can achieve the same visual effect, though, using a Text box to hold the text.
Insert a Text box.
Enter and format the text.
Use the Wrap inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
Use the Metrics inspector to Rotate the box and contents 90°.
Drag the box into position in front of the (empty) cell.
Optional, but encouraged:
Choose "Provide Pages Feedback" from the Pages menu.
Send feedback to Apple requesting this feature be added.
Wait for Pages '10 and check for the feature there.

Upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation

Hi Friends,
I am new to ODI. I have encountered a problem which is specific to ODI 11G (11.1.1.6.3) to upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation. Would you please teach me how to implement the following requirement in ODI 11G?
Input text file a:
staffCode, staffCat, status, data
input text file b:
staffCodeStart, staffCodeEnd, staffCat
temp output oracle table c:
staffCat, data
output oracle table d:
staffCat, data
order:
a.staffCode, a.staffCat, a.status
filter:
a.status = ‘active’
join:
a left outerjoin b on a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
insert temp table c:
c.staffCat = if b.staffCat is not null then b.staffCat else a.staffCat
c.data = a.data
insert table d:
if c.staffCat between 99 and 1000 then d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = sum(c.data)
else d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = LAST(c.data)
Any help on fixing this is highly appreciated. Thanks!!
Thanks,
Chris

Dear Santy,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. May I have more information about the LAST or SUM step?
I was successful to create and run the following interfaces p and q
1. Drag text file a to a newly created interface panel p
2. Filter text file a : a.status = ‘active’
3. Lookup text file a to text file b : a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
4. Drag oracle temp table c to interface panel p
5. Set c.staffCat : CASE WHEN b.staffCat IS NULL THEN a.staffCat ELSE b.staffCat END
6. Set c.data : a.data
7. Drag oracle temp table c to a newly created interface panel q
8. Drag oracle table d to interface panel q
9. Set UK to d.staffCat
10. Set Distinct Rows to table d
11. Set d.staffCat = c.staffCat
12. Set d.data = SUM(c.data)
However, the interface q should be more than that:
If c.staffCat is between 99 and 1000, then d.data = the last record c.data; else d.data = sum(c.data)
Would you please teach me how to do the LAST or SUM steps? Moreover, can interface p and interface q be combined to one interface and do not use the temp table c? Millions thanks!
Regards,
Chris

Vertical text direction

Hi guys, is there a way of using html or css to position text
vertically? thanks

And after seeing it on the MS site I can't imagine why you
would want to. Of
course if you could turn text sideways AND make it blink...
well that would
be way cool.

Vertical text in table heading

Hi,
I would like to save some space in some reports and I would like to change orientation of text in table heading.
Is it posible to have vertical text in table heading?
What I want is showed on this picture: [Vertical text|¨http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/234/obiverticaltext.jpg]
Thank you for some tips.

Hi,
Go through this...will help you solve your requirement....http://blog.trivadis.com/blogs/andreasnobbmann/archive/2009/07/17/vertical-text-in-obiee.aspx

Anyone know how to make vertical text in a table in keynote?

anyone know how to make vertical text in a table in keynote?

Just to add a bit more about this question. I have seen in other related questions that this feature (vertical text) is not available in (apparently) the whole iWork09. someone even said that it should be asked to the developers, so they include this feature in iWork10. I find this issue a bit sad. This feature has been present in msOffice since a while, and at least for me, this is quite important for my work. It is also apparently not possible to have different page orientation in the same document, meaning portrait and landscape, so one can have wide tables in a whole page, for example. If this is true, it is again sad, and I just cannot understand why such a basic feature is not available in an already 09 version. I am using only the trial version of iWork, but already in the first day I have discovered that I actually cannot do what I was used to. Again sadly I (and many others I guess) will have to stick to Office until the mac software is fully developed.

Table Text Direction

I need help making the text in the top row of a table orient vertically. The header text in each cell is long so I want it to either be vertical or on a 60-degree angle or so. I can't find any place in Pages to accomplish this format change.
Help?

I have used this technique successfully but I found it useful to use the *table inspector* to first check the size of the cell in which the vertical text is to be placed.
Then add a textbox and using the *metric inspector* make the textbox dimensions the same as the target table cell and to change the rotation to 90-degrees (if you wish the text to read from bottom to top) or 180-degrees (if you want the text to read from top to bottom).
Enter the text as required (the textbox flips to horizontal while the text is being modified) – changing the font size if necessary.
Then with the aid of the guidelines it is fairly easy to drag the textbox to the target table cell and position it correctly.
If there are several such header cells, it is probably then easier to Option-Drag the first textbox to the other target cells and then modify the text for each one than to repeat the process from the start.
I found that it was also better to remove textbox border using the *graphic inspector*.

Vertical Text Orientation

Hi,
Hope everybody has had very good New Year''s festivals.
Actually, I've got an issue with Vertical Text Orientation.
Is there a way to do this in CF?
I know that as far as the report builder is concerned, there
is a property called x-axis orientation in the file default.xml
(CFusionMX7\charting\styles\default.xml) which you can set to
Vertical for that matter.
This is ok, for charts in cfreport builder I've got no
problem with the vertical orientation of the x-axis labels.
I want to reproduce the same in CF e.g.
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="myclassname">Label 1 appears in vertical
orientation</td>
<td class="myclassname">Label 2 appears in vertical
orientation</td>
<td class="myclassname">Label 3 appears in vertical
orientation</td>
</tr>

</table>
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Yogesh Mahadnac.

The feature is unavailable.
If you really want it, use the dedicated path :
_Go to "Provide Pages Feedback" in the "Pages" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10

Weird problem with vertical text in a table

Hello,
I am new on this forum, usually I don't post because I always find the answer to my question, but this is something quite weird...
I have a table with vertical text in it (it has to be vertical because the cells are narrow). And I want it to be centered in the cell, both vertically and horizontally. When the cell is high enough, no problem. But as it becomes shorter, the text moves to the left. It is exactly as if there was a right margin within the cell, which is not the case.
See the example below : I had the text right-aligned (this is to say, bottom-aligned, as it is 270° rotated) to make it more visible.
Can someone help me there ? I already spent hours on that problem..!
Thank you very much !

Only, my table contents both vertical and horizontal text, so I can't. But thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you kindly for all your answers. Anyway, re-writing the text in separate frames won't be so difficult (anyway it'll always take less time than what that problem already did..).
So I have a solution, thanks to Phorna
But remains the frustration of not finding the reason of this ! I will live along with it
Thanks to all

Thanks in advance

Chesat,
You can not work for this requirement.You will have an idea on it.
Introduction
The use of FTP from ABAP seems to have been a hot topic on the ABAP Forums of late. I thought I might sit down and document whatever I could find on this subject and share it as a weblog.
Over the years I have seen lots of different solutions for moving files on and off of a SAP system. I have seen external FTP scripts written in OS shell languages. I have seen full blown custom applications that are made to interface to the SAP system. However I think you will find that most of the technology you need to perform a simple FTP from ABAP is already contained in the standard system. All of my examples and screen shots will be coming from a 46C system.
SAP's Solution
If you have ever taken a look at the kernel directory of your SAP system, you might have noticed an interesting little executable: sapftp.exe (the name of the file on Windows SAP Kernels). It is this part of the Kernel that exposes FTP functionality to the ABAP Programming language.
So you have a suspicion that there is FTP functionality in ABAP, but youre not quite sure how to use it. Where do you start? I always turn to the Service Marketplace first. A quick search on SAPFTP reveals there is an entire component (BC-SRV-COM-FTP) on the subject. The most general note and our starting place is OSS Note 93042. This note starts off with a nice description of what SAPFTP is: A client RFC application that is accessed via RFC from ABAP. But we also find out that in addition to SAPFTP being part of the kernel, it is also part of the SAPGui. That means that we can perform FTP commands originating from our R/3 Server or from a Client Workstation.
Well if this solution is accessed via RFC, then we must have to setup some RFC destinations. In fact we have two that we need; SAPFTP for Front-end FTP and SAPFTPA for access on the application server. Luckily we don't even have to mess with setting these RFC destinations up in SM59. SAP has supplied a program, RSFTP005, to generate the destinations for us.
Now before we go off and start written code on our own to hit these FTP functions, why don't we make sure everything is setup and working. Once again SAP has helped us out by providing us with a test program, RSFTP002. (In case you are wondering the FTP functionality and many other test programs are all contained in SAP Development Class SFTP). When we run this test, we get a set input parameters for the server, username password, etc. We want to start out simple and just make sure we are getting a connection. Therefore we will just execute the pwd command (Print Working Directory).
Your answer back should look something like this:
If you are wanting to see a list of FTP commands, try using the command HELP in place of PWD:
If something did go wrong during the test, I suggest that you active the trace option in SM59 for the FTP Destination. You can then use program RSFTP001 to display the current trace file.
Programming the FTP
Not only does the RSFTP002 program give us a test environment, but it also provides us with a programming example. We can see that the FTP functionality is really provided by a set of function modules all within the SFTP Function Group. We have the basic commands such as FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND, and FTP_DISCONNECT that can be strung together to create a complete file operation action. The FTP_COMMAND Function allows you to issue arbitrary FTP commands as long as the SAPFTP function, the Host, and the Destination server all support the command. Then you have the specialized functions such as FTP_R3_TO_SERVER, FTP_R3_TO_CLIENT, and FTP_CLIENT_TO_R3. This lets you take some data in memory and transfer it someplace else. This has the advantage of not having to write the data to the file system first and not to have to issue any FTP commands. However these functions are also limited to the scope described.
If you are already familiar with FTP in general, working with these function modules should not seem to difficult. The Connect, Command, Disconnect actions would seem somewhat self explanatory. So instead of looking at the entire program in detail let's focus on two things that may be unfamiliar. First the program starts off with an ABAP Kernel System call to AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING. Well we don't want to pass a potentially sensitive password openly. Therefore the FTP_CONNECT function module requires that the password be encrypted before it receives it. It is this System call that performs that one-way encryption. Now I checked a 620 SP42 system and in this example, SAP has replace the AB_RFC_X_SCRAMBLE_STRING with a function call to HTTP_SCRAMBLE. Unfortunately HTTP_SCRAMBLE doesn't even exist in my 46C system. The only other thing that I wanted to point out about these function calls is the exporting parameter on the FTP_CONNECT. It passes back a parameter called handle. This handle then becomes an importing parameter to all subsequent calls: FTP_COMMAND and FTP_CLOSE. This handle is the pointer to the instance of FTP that we started with the FTP_CONNECT. This assures that we get reconnected to the same FTP session with each command we issue.
FTP Development
I thought I would share a few of the things that can be built using this FTP functionality. First off I didn't want a bunch of ABAP programs directly working with the SAP FTP Function modules. As you can see there is already a difference in the examples for encrypting the password between 46C and 620. Therefore I thought it would be best to encapsulate all the FTP function in one custom ABAP OO Class. Not only did I get the opportunity to hid the inner SAP functionality and make it easy to switch out during upgrades, but I also get consistent error handling as well. I accept the User Name, Password, Host, and RFC Destination in during the Constructor of the class. I then store these values away in Protected Attributes. Each function module is then implemented as a Instance Method. The Password encryption functionality is then all tucked away nicely in the class. Also the calling program doesn't have to worry about keeping track of the FTP handle either since it is an instance attribute as well.
Next I got really carried away. I wanted a way to record entire FTP scripts that could be filled with values at runtime and ran as a step in a background job. My company used to have many interfaces that ran frequently sending files all over the place. We needed a mechanism to monitor and support these file moves. This was really the root of this tool, but it also gives you an idea of how powerful these functions can be.
Closing
I hope that anyone interested in FTP from ABAP will find this resource useful. If anyone has any other resources that should be included here, feel free to post them.

I've been in IT for over 30 years as a mainframe contract programmer/analyst. Recently a company hired me for my legacy knowledge of there business to become a developer on SAP for these same systems.
My first task is to develop a generalized ftp application to send data to the mainframe and then on to financial institutions. I have created an ABAP/4 test program with literals for the dest/host etc. And it works fine. I need more detail/guidance in creating the Class/Method/Function you have described to make this parameter driven and callable by other programs. I know this is a lot to ask, any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. When I mention class creation to the existing staff they all say "Oh, we don't use or know anything about that object oriented stuff, we just right programs."
Thanks,

"we don't use or know anything about that object oriented stuff" That's something I might have expected to hear 4 years ago. That's kind of like saying that you only want to use half of the programming lanuage (the old half at that).
However it is true that you have to learn to walk before you run. There are some fundamentals to ABAP that are usefull to have down before you start in with ABAP OO. But I wouldn't let that hold you back for long.
I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to teach you everything you would need to know to create a function module or a class in this posting. There was a nice weblog that was just posted the other day that had the steps to create your first simple class. I suggest you start there.
As far as my FTP class goes, I don't mind sending you the code for the class. My email address is already all over SDN (and spammers' lists) so just send me the address that you want the details sent to. My email is [email protected].

How to make Vertical Text start furom left to right?

Sometimes some customers must be vertical text from left to right
This is mainly for Asian fonts
Whether it can be achieved with script,Or are there other methods？
Thank you~

@喜狼_edny – hm. Possible, but the result is somehow unsatisfactory.
See for yourself.
We could start with some text right aligned in a table with just one single cell:
We could rotate the cell to 270° like that:
Code:
var myCell = app.selection[0].tables[0].cells[0];
myCell.rotationAngle = 270;
And now we need the text direction from right to left and all characters rotated to 180°:
Code:
var myCell = app.selection[0].tables[0].cells[0];
myCell.rotationAngle = 270;
myProperties = {
    composer : "$ID/HL Composer Optyca",
    characterDirection : CharacterDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION,
    paragraphDirection : ParagraphDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION,
    characterRotation : 180
myCell.texts[0].properties = myProperties;
Result:
Ugh! Not exactly the result we expected…
(Tested with InDesign CS5.5 on OSX 10.6.8)
It's the characterRotation that is not working as expected.

Urgent - help with Text direction in InDesign CS4

Hello,
I use InDesign CS4 on Windows 7. It's a standard version (without options for right-to-left languages).
Whenever I make a new text frame, it seems to have a right-to-left "logic" of the text. The text types left to right, but the period in the end would go all the way right.
It also mixes up tabs. It looks like this:
Instead of:
Usually I get around it by pasting another correctly formatted text-frame or text, and it works.
Now I'm trying to create a new document with master frame (in order to be able to easily change the layout successively of a many-paged document), where I need to insert existing (formatted) text. But this text take this "right to left logic", whether I past the text, or even a whole text frame.
I could find nothing in the character/paragraph options to get rid of this.
I would greatly appreciate if you could help me.
with respect,
Jerusalem Nun.

This behaviour is normal. Changing the default property of any style, when no document is open, changes the style for every new document, but not for existing document.
Take a look what is your basic style where all other styles are build up on it, in your case, go to the paragraph style and look what is the basic style which was used.
If the default style was used (it is the one in brackets), you have always a problem. You should not use it in any case.
Because you don't have a ME version of InDesign you can't change direction directly, but you can create a new document with the default settings and the same paragraph (and character, table and cell styles) in a new document without RTL styles. Save this document, no content is required.
Go to the 'infected' document, open the paragraph style panel and in the panel menu take "Load all text styles", select the new document and overwrite with the incoming styles.
If necessary you might repeat it with the Table, Cell, Character and Object Styles, as all of them have some kind of direction settings.
I don't know how good your styles were created, you have to adjust your document. And I would strongly recommend—I repeat—I strongly recommend to work always with styles.

Vertical text alignment in iPhoto calendar is jacked

I am creating a calendar in iPhoto '11 (9.4.2) and have added many events (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) on individual dates. On several of these events I am unable to set the vertical alignment to the bottom of the box. I can edit the text for a calendar day and click on the button to align the text to the bottom of the box, which causes the text to align properly to the bottom of the box...until I close the box, at which point the text floats right back to the top.
It is maddening.
I have left the calendar and came back to it, deleted all of the text in the box and tried to recreate the event (at which point the new text behaves the same way as before), and quit and restarted iPhoto several times...All to no avail.
Ideas?

Ok. Here is a little more information. Thanks for all your patience. I have a rather small space for my table. I notice that when I make the cell size too small for what ever reason, a plus sign within a square appears. I can only guess that the program is "suggesting" I increase the size of the cell otherwise the alignment functions along with I don't know what else, will not work. I have accepted this fact and will continue to try to work around the issue by adjusting the font size along with the table size to make it work in the space allotted.
