What is the proper method for creating a document with double spacing?

There was a questioned posed regarding double spacing documents and it was suggested to set the leading to twice that of the font size. Is this how "double spacing" is defined?

Double-spacing is a concept traditionally used in word processing. In professional page layout, as you would use it in InDesign, the space between lines is called "leading" and refers to finer increments than word processing (Word's Single, 1.5 lines, Double, etc.) It is measured in units called "points." There are 12 points in an inch.
In most professionally laid out publications, body copy of average column width is set with 1 to 4 points of space beyond the point size of the type. If the type size were 11 point, the leading might be set as between 12 and 15 points, depending on how much space you desired between lines.
Why don't you tell us what is you're trying to accomplish, and perhaps attach a screen capture of what you're trying to do?

What's the best method for a nav menu with image rollover for all visitors?

Hi.
First, thanks for reading this.
What's the best method for a nav menu with image rollovers for all visitors, including PDAs? I've used JavaScript rollovers for years because the majority of my customers' visitors use some version of IE (past 7.0) but I'm building a new site that has to display properly for the widest range of visitors imaginable. (I also know that I need to use a more modern method for everyone and this is my excuse to start).
Finally, using images is critical. I apologize ahead of time to anyone I offend, but I have never seen a nav menu without images that doesn't look just plain terrible.
Thanks.

If you want the best menus possible for Dreamweaver look no further than Project Seven:
http://projectseven.com/
They have all kinds of menus and other extensions available for purchase. Easy to use and they work as advertised. I personally use Pop Menu Magic and Tab Panel magic myself. I could go on and on, but I guarantee that if others respond they will echo the same sentiment for Project Seven.

HT1229 what is the best method for using a iphoto with an external hard drive for greater capacity?

what is the best method for using a iphoto with an external hard drive for greater capacity?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

What is the best method for creating a simple DVD from X?

Now that I no longer have DVD SP on my system, I need to know the preferred method of creating a simple menu driven DVD. The DVD needs to have a simple (one click) since the local cable company needs that so it will trigger at a specified time. I shoot in 720p 60. The DVD is SD. I do have Toast, Compressor, and iDVD on the computer. Any input will really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

Thanks Luis.
Can't beleive I missed that. I am so used to using Compressor or Toast. This method works great. Thanks.
Best.

What are the best options for creating a PDF with bookmarks and a hyperlinked TOC?

What I'm interested in is whether or not there is an alternate process I could follow that would side step Word 2011's inability to export to PDF with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs. How do you create PDF documents with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs in your documents?
Some background:
In Word 2010 and 2013 for Windows (and I'm sure this applies to older versions as well), you can export documents to a PDF file format where the exported file will carry over the bookmarks and hyperlinked table of contents. Specifically, by making specific text headers, will appear in the final PDF file as bookmarks on the side (see image taken from Adobe's website).
Regarding the table of contents, using Word's built in Table of Contents feature successfully ports the ability to navigate to a specific section by clicking on its chapter in the table of contents to the finished PDF file.
I've read several forum discussions that say it's not possible to do this from Word 2011, so my current solution is to just finish all documents on a Windows machine (either with parallels or a separate computer). The alternate process flow of creating a word document, exporting it to PDF, then rehyperlinking everything in Acrobat is just too time consuming to consider.

Hi, beejasaurus
I found a possible kluge from this discussion here
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1008480
Create the hyperlinks in Word, save the file
Open that file with Pages, export as PDF.
The links work from that PDF.
Note, I did not try this with TOC but it worked with hyperlinks embedded in the Word document

What is the proper method for cleaning up EventWaitHandle?

Hi all,
I'm working on inter-process communication between applications running on the same machine. More specifically I have a primary application that is connected to multiple industrial machines collecting data from each.
I want to create secondary applications that consume this data. I intend on using MemoryMappedFile to share the information. I've tested the MMF part and it works fine.
I'm at the point where I want to notify the client applications when new data is available by using an EventWaitHandle. I create the handle as follows.
handle = new EventWaitHandle(false, EventResetMode.AutoReset, ClientName);
In the client application I use WaitOne inside a thread for the event notification. This too works well.
private void MonitorForSignal()
running = true;
bool signaled;
while (running)
signaled = handle.WaitOne();
if (signaled)
if (!handle.SafeWaitHandle.IsClosed)
//Do something
I create the thread as follows:
monitor = new Thread(MonitorForSignal);
monitor.IsBackground = true;
running = true;
monitor.Start();
My concern is that I may be creating an orphaned thread or a memory leak when I close the client application. So I implemented IDisposable in my client class and do the following.
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
if (disposing)
// free managed resources
// free native resources here if there are any
running = false;
handle.Close();
handle.Dispose();
monitor.Abort();
I believe this does indeed free the resources, but I've read that Thread.Abort is "bad". Before I implemented IDisposable I did some testing in a couple of WinForm applications, one acting as the host and one as the client. I noticed that I could
close the client and subsequently Set the EventWaitHandle in the host application and this line of code in the client would fire in the debugger.
signaled = handle.WaitOne();
This made me worry that I wasn't properly cleaning up my thread objects.
Below is the entire client for reference. What I'm really asking is how do I properly clean up the MonitorForSignal thread and the EventWaitHandle in the client?
public class ClientA : IDisposable
bool running;
string clientName;
EventWaitHandle handle;
Thread monitor;
private void MonitorForSignal()
running = true;
bool signaled;
while (running)
signaled = handle.WaitOne();
if (signaled)
if (!handle.SafeWaitHandle.IsClosed)
//Do something
private void ProcessData()
//Do Something
public ClientA(string ClientName)
if (ClientName == null || ClientName == string.Empty)
throw new ArgumentException("Cannot be null or empty.", "ClientName");
clientName = ClientName;
handle = new EventWaitHandle(false, EventResetMode.AutoReset, ClientName);
monitor = new Thread(MonitorForSignal);
monitor.IsBackground = true;
running = true;
monitor.Start();
#region IDispose
~ClientA()
Dispose(false);
public void Dispose()
Dispose(true);
GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
if (disposing)
// free managed resources
// free native resources here if there are any
running = false;
handle.Close();
handle.Dispose();
monitor.Abort();
#endregion
Regards,

Hi Michael,
Does this code cause the thread to spin?
while (!handle.WaitOne())
//TODO: Do work
Thread.Sleep(1000);
I was hoping not to spin thus the EventWaitHandle. As for the named handle, I am building multiple applications that need to have inter-process communication, all running on the same machine.
I think I can update my class to use your recommendation for the dispose method, specifically using handle.Set
However, I would update the MonitorForSignal as follows:
bool _closing = false;
private void MonitorForSignal()
running = true;
bool signaled;
while (running)
signaled = handle.WaitOne();
if (signaled && !_closing )
if (!handle.SafeWaitHandle.IsClosed)
if (NewData != null)
NewData();
And the dispose as follows:
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
if (disposing && handle!=null)
running = false;
_closing = true;
handle.Set();
if (!monitor.Join(5000))
monitor.Abort();
monitor = null;
handle.Dispose();
handle = null;
// free managed resources
// free native resources here if there are any
This allows me to skip over the "Do Work" part which should only be done when Signaled from another application. Your suggestion to use handle.Set() in the dispose method coupled with adding the bool _closing allows me to get past the EventWaitHandle
and also skip the work when closing.
Also by setting "running" to false in the dispose, the thread will naturally end after the wait handle has been set.
Thanks for suggesting the Thread.Join, that does seem allot more graceful. When I tested these changes it was blazing fast. In the previous code when I called monitor.Abort the application would hang for about a second.
Do you think the changes capture the intent of your suggestions?
Regards,

What is the proper method for embedding image files in a documentDB model?

I'm working on some standard CMS functionality to produce simple service articles for a website. I'm looking at two possible options but I'm not sure which way to go.
Example 1:
I really want to create a value object to represent the image such as
class ImageFile
public byte[] fileData { get; set;}
public string contentType { get; set;}
class WebArticle
public ImageFile {get; set}
public string someContent { get; set; }
Or am I stuck with storing the image seperately w/ Azure Storage and just simply using my documentDB object to reference it's url via something like this:
class WebArticle
public string imageUrl { get; set; }
public string someContent { get; set; }
I see that there is some way to add "Attachments" but I'm not really clear on what the attachments are for. I don't think that I am reading the correct documentation. Is there a webpage out there that clarifies this. A kindle book on Amazon maybe?
I'm looking forward to using this new technology. Ryan's Channel 9 presentation on the subject really caught my attention.
Thank,
Dan Jerome

What are the basic steps for creating a content repository?

I am trying to create a document store on a file system (fsdb) that will hold files that are ftp's to that location. Is this possible using KM? If so, what are the basic steps for creating a file system repository and using it through KM? I have found stuff on help.sap.com but that only tells you what each component does not what actual steps need to be taken to setup KM, such as user rights , creating an entry point, so that all of KM is not visible, etc...
If anyone knows of any guides that show a step by step process that would be great too.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul
First of all you need to create a new repository
Suppose you want to add all the documents under folder Paul under C: Drive
(Even you can put whole documents of C: drive into Paul)
Navigate to System Admin -> System Configuration -> Knowledge management -> Content Management -> Repository Manager -> File System Repository
There you can create a new directory by clicking on button New
Give the parameters as follows :-
Name               :           Anything you like
Description       :           Anything you want
Prefix (must start with /) : Probably same as your repository name like \Paul
Lookup mode : caseless
Root Directory   : C:\Paul
NOTE: This is the trick. You need to give the proper path means folder path which you want use as repository)
Repository Services : Any services you want
Property Search : Managercom.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.generic.search.SimplePropertySearchManager
Security Manager         :           AclSecurityManager
ACL Manager Cache   :           ca_cm_rep_acl
The save it
Now see whether the same repository is coming under KM Content or not, if not may be after restart it will come.
I think the above information will help you. If still you have problem, please feel free to contect me.

Chamkaur

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

What is the best method for saving files off of the hard drive?

I would like to save music files and photos somewhere other than my hard drive (eg. CDs, DVDs, zip disks). What is the best method for doing this?

It rather depends on how paranoid you are
External hard drives protect you from hard disk trouble on your machine.
Optical media (CD's, DVD's) protect you from trouble with magnetic disks - such as external hard drives and the HD in your machine. Optical disks are thought to be more reliable that magnetic disks for long term storage.
Off site back-ups will protect you from fire or theft at your home or office.
How paranoid are you? Personally everything is backed up across three diferent external HD's. And maybe twice a year I burn a copy of my photos onto DVDs and they go to a relative's house across town.
