Weirdness with Bullets and Numbers

I'm using RH8 on Windows XP. Ever since I upgraded, every time I format a block of text with bullets OR numbers, the software changes my Arial 10 point text to Times New Roman 12. It's getting annoying having to reformat my text every time I put it in bullets or numbers. Is this a "feature?" Is there some uber-style that's overriding my stylesheet?
Thanks,

Hi,
Afaik, there is nu überstyle in RH. Assuming you don't use the RoboHelp multilevel lists: You probably want to set global list styles in your CSS. You need the UL tag for unordered lists and the OL tag for Ordered lists.
For instance:
UL, OL {
Font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
Font-size: 10pt;
To make all your unformatted lists Arial 10 pt.
Search around a bit on the forum. A lot of people have had problems with lists, and there have been a lot of posts already on this subject. If you can't find what you're looking for, please post again.
Greet,
Willam.

BI Publisher -RTF Template issue: Output report not maintaining text with bullets and numberings.

Hi All,
I am currently working with generating reports using BI Publisher. My issue is that when I will preview the output(in PDF and RTF) format's of the newly created template, then, if the data coming from DB have some bullets or numbering, then the BI publisher output will ignore the same and will show the complete data as one single line.
For example if the data in the DB Field is like below:
The XYZ has the below sub-parts:
ABC : This again has two parts:
abc1
abc2
CDE
FGH
Then this data will appear as below in the BI Publisher output report's:
The XYZ has the below sub-parts: • ABC : This again has two parts: o abc1 o abc2 • CDE • FGH
I want the format of the data (with bullets and number's) should be maintained in the BI Publisher Report as well, but I am unable to find any solution for the same.
Any help on the same is much appreciated.

in your query will u get all the columns always null when column1 is null
in your template for each group u can write like below
think G_1 as group in your xml
<?for-each:G_1[COLUMN1!='']?><?COLUMN1?><?COMMENTS?><?end for each?>
or if u are not sure u get null in both places every time u can write like below
<?for-each:G_1[COLUMN1!='' and COMMENTS!='']?><?COLUMN1?><?COMMENTS?><?end for each?>

CSS - Specifically bulleted and numbered lists

i am really struggling with the css and the bulleted and number list format.
i have so many questions i do not know where to begin so i will start with what i think should be just plain common sense:
1. i originally imported a css into the robohelp 8 project and have worked for a couple of weeks trying to straighten out the styles with no success
so today i started from scratch creating a new cascading style sheet but i have real questions about what i have created, where i can see it, how i can apply it and how it DOES NOT reflect in the toolbar styles drop down list.
first question:
i have a custom style sheet that clearly shows i have a list style defined called 'bullet1'. i can see the style in my formatting pod (pane) but i do not see it in the styles drop down list on the formatting toolbar. so why are my styles from my CSS not in the styles drop down list on the formatting toolbar and also, when i apply a style (say from the formatting pod/pane) shouldnt the drop down styles list reflect the style name when it is clicked on? For example: i clearly applied the bullet1 style (from the formatting pod/pane) and saved the topic. when i go and click on the bullet1 list, the style drop down on the formatting menu still says (none). no matter what i do, the only style that is reflected in the styles drop down field on the formatting toolbar (when i click on the text) is heading1 and heading2 but other than that, any numbered or bulleted style i create and apply does not show that that style has been applied.
second question:
what is the difference between the formatting pod (Pane) and the styles drop down list on the formatting toolbar? from experience with word, the styles drop down list on the formatting toolbar should reflect the current style when a character or paragraph is selected....it does not here in robohelp.
third question:
why does the style drop down list only show a few styles out of all of the styles that show in my CSS?
forth question:
can i assume that if i have a css created and applied TO ALL topics in the project that the 'formatting' pod/pane will show only those styles from that css? i am very confused on what i am seeing in the formatting pod/pane. are these JUST the custom styles created for a particular style sheet? are these ALL styles available in robohelp?
i am not liking how difficult it is to create a style (specifically bullets and numbers) , apply a style and to view the style that has been applied!
help!

Hi,
Drop down list shows paragraphs, headings and character styles. Also when you create a class style (.myclass) without a element selector, this style will show in the drop down list.
About lists, please see:

Plug-in for bullets and numbered lists in Mail??

Does anyone know of any plug-ins for the Mail app to do bullets and numbered lists like Entourage??
The lack of this functionality really makes Mail kinda lame and unusable for me.
Thanks!

Paul,
the fact that Mail does not support bullit lists is not an oversight but was done on purpose. It may look good on your computer when you compose the message, but you have little influence in the way recipients see that message. It can get very messy, I can assure you.
If you want a perfect layout, compose in a wordprocessor and save as PDF, send that as an attachment.

Bullets and Numbering buttons/options?

Hi. Am in a bit of a bind, hope someone can help.
Using InDesign CS 3.0.1 on Windows. Packaged and installed by the company I work for, so I cannot update manually (if it turns out I need to....?)
My problem: Cannot find any options for Bullets and Numbering.
It has just occurred to me, as I type this, that "InDesign 3.0.1" might not equate to "InDesign CS3" ? This is potentially very confusing! Do I have a version of InDesign here that doesn't have Bullet/Numbering buttons in the Paragraph Control Toolbar?
If these buttons should exist, I'd like to know why I don't have them. I have tried restoring prefs etc. to defaults but they're still not appearing.
Interestingly a search in the Help doesn't yield any answers, so I'm thinking I may have a version which doesn't have this feature?!?
Could someone confirm/deny, and let me know what version I need if it's the case that I have a previous version.
EDIT: Seems I might share this problem?.... http://groups.google.com/group/adobe.indesign.windows/browse_thread/thread/b27d031aa08292 6f
If so, I guess I need to find out how I can get the plugins installed by the company???
Thanks in advance.
David.

Have you moved Pages from its installed location? Or just dragged a copy to your current system?
It can't find some of its resources apparently.

I purchased a IPad Air with Pages and Numbers included. I was told I could use these apps on my mac book and other devices. How do I sync or access these from my mac.

I purchased a IPad Air with Pages and Numbers included. I was told I could use these apps on my other devices like my MacBook. How do I sync or add these to my macBook?

the free apps are only for ios device (iphone ipad ipod touch) and do not work on mac computers. if you do get pages and numbers on your mac though you can sync the information using icloud

I need to have endnotes at the end with sections and numbering beginning again for each section. I also need to be able to write Chapter

I need to have endnotes at the end with sections and numbering beginning again for each section. I also need to be able to write Chapter #s above each section of endnotes. How do I do this, please?

I have precisely the same problem and am wondering if anyone has found a workaround for what seems to be a bug or an unattended issue in Pages. Hopefully the next update (whenever it arrives, I hope it arrives soon) will take care of this.

My contacts all got deleted from my phone, and was replaced with names and numbers of people I've never met before.

My phone was working as normal, then all of a sudden when I checked my text messages all the names of my contacts got replaced by their actual phone numbers. When I checked my contacts, it looks like everyone got deleted from my phone, and was replaced with names and numbers of people I've never met before. Even when I check my icloud for a backup it has the same issue. I don't know how this is possible and not certain as to how to rectify and get my contacts back.

Hi Also iPhone, need update to ios 8.1.2 do this over WiFi Use same Apple ID & Password. Cheers Brian

Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. When I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 contacts are not listed

Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. However, when I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 plus contacts are not listed, and it makes you difficult to call through contact

The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list. It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it. You need to add a few names.

Can i safely trash Iwork '08 since i have already Installed Iwork '11 or will i loose my documents made with pages and numbers '08???

can i safely trash Iwork '08 since i have already Installed Iwork '11 or will i loose my documents made with pages and numbers '08???

You can have multiple versions installed simultaneously. It won't hurt to delete the '08 apps, because the '09 apps will convert '08 to '09, but there is no reason to do the deletion.
You say that you have iWork '11. If that's true, it's really big news. More likely, you have iWork '09.

How do you link styles with bullets and lists?

It seems that amongst all the other hapless changes in Pages 5 there is no way to link bullets & lists to a style. I hope I'm missing something.
If I create a style with a numbered list it, then click on the next paragraph I'd like to have that style, the style name changes along with font characteristics and alignment, but no bullets or numbers. Moreover, pages crashes often when I try to update bullets and lists.
I have a fantasy that somewhere in Pittsburgh where I beieve the Pages development team lives there's a building full of coders passionately fixing all these things. If just the people on this thread put in $20, the former cost of Pages, we could probably hire a team to do the work for them.

1. Yes it is possible (and relatively easy)
2. You should learn about applets, image handling, servlets and jdbc
Good luck

Synching problems with pages and numbers

After an initial problem with synching which was resolved with Yosemite Pages and Numbers have been synching across all my devices for a couple of weeks and now all of a sudden they have stopped again!! They synch across my phones and iPad but not to my macbook pro!! Very very annoying! How do I resolve it?

Found a solution, but it is odd:
On the 2008 Mac Pro, I UNCHECK the boxes beside Pages and Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options. Now Pages and Numbers will properly save edited documents to the appropriate folders on iCloud Drive.
Go figure ...
Hope that this helps someone else.

Problems with Pages and Numbers using iCloud Drive on early 2008 MacPro, Yosemite

One of my computers, an early 2008 MacPro running Yosemite, will NOT save Pages or Numbers documents to iCloud Drive from within those applications. I see the little iCloud Drive error badge next to the file name in Finder after I try to save. However, on the SAME computer I can save Pages and Numbers documents to a local drive (e.g., to my Desktop) and then use the Finder to drag the documents to iCloud Drive successfully. Another computer, a MacBook Pro running Yosemite, has no problems using iCloud Drive to create, edit and then save Pages and Numbers documents stored on iCloud Drive. I have tried "turning off" iCloud Drive for Pages and Numbers in System Preferences on the Mac Pro and then turning it back on to no effect. I have also logged out of iCloud Drive on all of my devices (which include two iOS devices) and then logging back in to ensure that I'm using the same login id on all devices, again with no apparent change.
Any suggestions for my next steps in attempting to solve this issue? Is there any way to get more information about precisely what type of error is occurring? Hovering over the badge only shows "Error".
Thanks in advance.
Jon
