Why do text variables using Running Header character style translate forced returns as a word space in the running head on the first page but close up the space on subsequent pages?

In an InDesign document that requires 3 different Chapter head paragraph styles (to cope with differrent length headings) I've set up the running heads on the master page with a text variable using the Running header (character style) option. The character style I've assigned to this is an empty character style that is applied to all 3 chapter head paragraph styles.
Some chapter heads require a forced line break, so that the line breaks are aethesically pleasing. On the first page the text variable translates this forced line break as a word space in the running head, but on subsequent pages it ignores the forced line break. This means that if you have a word space before the forced line break, on the first page you get a double word space and on subsequent pages the running head sets correctly with a single word space. But if you remove the word space before the forced line break in the chapter head text, the first running head sets correctly with forced line break interpreted as a single word space, but on subsequest pages the space is closed up.
This only seems to be a problem when the character style option is used for header text variables. If a paragraph style is used the forrced line break is interpreted as a a single word space in all instances, both on the foirst page and subsequent pages.
This would appear to be a bug in how text variables are applied when using the Running header (character style) option. I can't see any other reason why the text variable would beheave differently on the first page and on subsequent pages. There is only one master page, so it isn't a case of their being an error between a main master page and a chapter opener master page.
Does anyone have any solutionss, or know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent releases of InDesign (I'm using CS6 ID version 8.0)
Thanks

  • Is there a way to allow for two lines in "running header (character style)" text variable?

    In my "running header (character style)" text variables, some of the items are quite long and take up more space in my header than I have room for - because I have another "running header (character style)" text variable beside it - and I am trying to figure out if there is a way to force that text variable to go into two lines when it runs out of space.
    Does anyone know if this is possible?

    Sadly, only by adding a forced line break in the variable. Adobe’s engineers are unable to allow long variables to break at the end of a line. Sad, since this is a feature I remember from a Macintosh word processor I used in 1988.

  • Text Variable using Customer Exit .

    Hello Friends. I have a requirement to create Text Variable using Customer Exit . So I created the Text Variable as "ZVRBMS" and assigned that with YTD &ZVRBMS& in the Structure of Query Desigener . so that Out put will YTD AUTO
    OR YTD RETAIL
    Now this Auto And Retail comes from Version that user choose via variable ZFIBMSVER IN User Promt. if ZFIBMSVER = 10
    then ZVRBMS = auto . and if ZFIBMSVER = 20
    then ZVRBMS = RETAIL
    Please correct my ABAP code in customer exit and let me know to make this work
    when 'ZVRBMS'.
        if I_STEP = 2.
          clear LOC_VAR_RANGE.
          loop at I_T_VAR_RANGE into LOC_VAR_RANGE.
            if LOC_VAR_RANGE-VNAM = 'ZFIBMSVER'.
          if SY-SUBRC = 0 OR LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW = '10'.
            L_S_RANGE-LOW = 'AUTO'.
          elseif LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW = '20'.
            L_S_RANGE-LOW = 'RETAIL'.
          L_S_RANGE-SIGN ='I'.
          L_S_RANGE-OPT  = 'EQ'.
          append L_S_RANGE to E_T_RANGE.
      endif.
      endif.
      exit.

    Thanks

    The code should be:
    when 'ZVRBMS'.
    if I_STEP = 2.
    clear LOC_VAR_RANGE.
    loop at I_T_VAR_RANGE into LOC_VAR_RANGE.
    if LOC_VAR_RANGE-VNAM = 'ZFIBMSVER'.
    if LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW = '10'.
    L_S_RANGE-LOW = 'AUTO'.
    elseif LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW = '20'.
    L_S_RANGE-LOW = 'RETAIL'.
    endif.
    L_S_RANGE-SIGN ='I'.
    L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
    append L_S_RANGE to E_T_RANGE.
    endif.
    exit.
    endloop.
    endif.

  • Why i have to delete the Current word Text if i type wrong Previous word text in the sentence, my fingers are broad cannot accurately point the specific character, I am forced to delete current word text, its really making my mind to get rid of  iPhone4.

    Why i have to delete the Current word Text if i type wrong Previousword text in the sentence, my fingers are broad cannot accurately point thespecific character, I am forced to delete current word text, its really makingmy mind to get rid of  iPhone4.

    Hold your finger on the word for a little time - after a second or so, a magnifying view appears showing the few letters around your finger, with a cursor. Roll your finger to move the cursor to just in front of the letter you want to fix. Then let your finger go. You can now backspace to delete and replace the incorrect letter.

  • Find texts with more than one Character Style applied

    Hi,
    If you need to find - and replace/restyle - texts where more than one Character Style is applied - here is tool for you - for ID CS3 and ID CS4:
    http://www.adobescripts.com/search.php?query=multi+findreplace+grep&action=results
    You can define options for up to 8 characters - by using GREP expressions.
    Script is only for PC platform.

    Never tried with bullets but nested styles might work... I think you can chain two or more nested style, and then you can define first nested style to effect only first character, second nested style to next character and so on....

  • The account application created using can see current Blank Site page but no other user account see current page only some old page?

    Hello Community
        Using Sharepoint 2010 Server and the UI, building an intranet
    starting with a Blank Site and then adding subsites can be accomplished.
        However, in this case the current Blank Site page that was created only shows
    when logged in using the account that the application was created under.
        Any other account used to login with when the url is typed into the
    address bar does not show the current Blank Site page.
       Instead when using any other account the page that is returned is
    some page that was created early in in the creation of the site.
        A Blank site is said to be:
            "A blank site for you to customize based on your requirements."
        I checked-in the v4.master and approved it but the problem still exists.
        Then I checked the Site Collection features under Site Collection
    Administration "Active" contains:
        Sharepoint Server Publishing Infrastucture
        Sharepoint Server Standard Site Collection features
        Then I checked under Site Actions has Manage Site features "Active"
    contains:
        Sharepoint Server Publishing
        Sharepoint server Standard Site features
        It is said that maybe the page needs to be "Published".  Basically
    this is a Blank Site page so when the instructions says:
       "To publish a page, on the page that you are editing, on the
    Page Editing toolbar, click Publish."
        I am unable to do it because when I:
           "Edit Page"
        There is not no option on the ribbon to choose "Publish".
        Neither did I see the "Publish"option when editing the v4.master in SPD.
        In summary, when logged in with the account that everything was created
    under I can see the current Blank Site with the Lists and everthing else
    on the page but how come when I login with any other user account
    I don't see the current Blank Site page but instead see some old page that
    I may have created earlier when creating the application?
        Thank you

    Hello Community
        I think it is worth mentioning that the Top Link Bar shows what appears
    on the current Blank Site page but it is the OOTB NoteBoard  and Discussion Board
    List which both reside in Left web part on the Blank Site page that has been replaced
    on the page by what had been in an old Content Editor web part during early creation.
        How can I grant permissions to the OOTB NoteBoard and the Discussion Board List
    that would allow other user accounts to see them, thus making the entire current Blank Site page
    visible other user accounts?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

    Hi Davehov,
    What iOS is the phone running? If it is iOS 7, then as ramzee209 indicated, you must contact the seller to get any further.
    If it is running an earlier iOS, you can hook it up to the computer where you iTunes library is located, and restore it:
    Place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Cheers,

  • I use pages to draft forms that i repeatedly use in my business.  Last week i drafted a legal document and saved to my file. now i get message that it won't open without newer version of pages but i have the latest version  whats up??

    I use pages to draft forms that i repeatedly edit and use in my business.  Ex:  letterhead, envelopes, and legal forms.  I recently drafted a legal form
    for a client.  saved it and then reopened and printed the next day.  now when i try to open that form, ( or letterhead or envelope) i get a message that
    it wont open and that i need a newer version of pages.  but my pages software is up to date.   Whats up with this??

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

    I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

    I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks).  Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window.  I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box.  When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window.  It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.
