Why is the text in the panels so small?

I am new to Indesign. In fact I am evalutating for use at my company.
The panels are pretty much unusalbe, the text is way to small.
It looks like it is about a 6pt font.
Please someone tell me there is a way to change this.

I too am evaluating indesign for use in a Product Design group for a major engineering software manufacturer.   Sometimes in software design we have to make concessions that no one likes in order to achieve our goals. With our products we usually address any concessions in a follow up release. I hope that Adobe has been forced into this situation and has not willingly chosen to forgo rudimentary functionality. From what I have observed with indesign CS4 I am unimpressed. Here are a couple of my observations.
1.     As stated the UI is missing basic user controls like the ability to change the font size.
2.     Vertically docking toolbars on the side of the screen is limited to a few bars. Any additional toolbars are forced into a side-by-side configuration. This creates a dead space below the toolbars where screen real estate is wasted. Not a big deal just unprofessional.
3.     General image display quality is horrible! I have set View>Display Performance>High Quality Display and it does not matter if I embed or link images; does not matter if I use jpg, gif or png. The presentation is always ugly. The gif looks a little better than the others when viewing the document with indesign, however, an exported pdf has degraded quality with gif.
4.     Performance. I am running on two rather beefy machines, details below, and with twenty page documents indesign is sluggish and unresponsive at times. This is not associated to embeded images as it occurs with or wtihout attached images. I am fearful of putting indesign to task with larger projects.
5.     Selection methods are downright cumbersome. I have taken the time to learn some of the subtitles with the selection tools. For a rudimentary function this completely fails the intuitive test. I am not an indesign expert, but I shouldn't have to be either. Since software is my business I tend to pick it up quickly and I think I know my way around indesign pretty well; I find the selection tools to be awkward at best.
I use two computers regularly and experience all the mentioned issues on both computers.
#1 Lenovo laptop T60p, 15" 1680x1050 ATI Mobility FireGL V5250 256Mb, 2.7mhz, 3Gb RAM. I often connect this to a 21" 1600x1200 Viewsonic monitor.
#2 HP Workstation 22" CRT 1920x1080 running an nVidia card 256Mb, 3mhz 4Gb RAM.
On the positive side I am impressed with the auto alignment features in CS4. (if these existed in CS3 I didn't encounter them in the short time I used CS3.) However, there are numerous basic features that are sorely lacking attention that in my opinion should have been addressed first. I would ask the indesign product managers to consider shoring up the rudimentary features of indesign before adding new features.

Like I said above, print to Adobe pdf and it wants to cut off the text on the right margin. I can't see to find a setting that changes this. Any ideas??

OK, so I have now found that this is apparently normal for iTunes, to only accept mpeg 4 movie files, all the searching I did before I must have worded it wrong because I couldn't find anything about this, incredibly. Had been looking for why iTunes won't take all the files it previously did, like if it had been changed, and it hasn't, it's allegedly always taken only mpeg 4 files. Also I had been searching for why iTunes crashes every time I try and add/import anything but mpeg 4 files, and even sometimes with mpeg 4 files. That isn't normal, it's supposed to just do nothing apparently as I've just found out. So for these reasons I didn't find the answer despite my searching all over the web.
So I guess that answers my own question now, but I'm still perplexed as to why I absolutely, definitely, without any doubt, had several hundred movies of a few different video file types loaded, accessible and playable in my iTunes library that everything here claims iTunes never accepted. It apparently shouldn't have been possible for me to have done this, but for probably 10 years it's been this way.
Perhaps since I don't remember adding these files to iTunes anymore recently than maybe 6 or 7 years ago, the iTunes back then did accept all kinds of file types? Or could I have somehow had some video codecs or software that expanded the capability of my movie players like Quicktime Player that unwittingly also allowed iTunes to take those files as well? All I know is somehow it worked! So now my question is how did I have it working before, so that maybe I can make it work again.

Float is not working? I need the text to the right of the image but my CSS isn't working. Help pls

Hi,
I am having some unusual difficulty getting my images to float left/right in order to have the text beside the image. In the image I provided, the red arrow is where I'd like the text to be but no matter what I put in the CSS file, the text begins to the lower right of the image floated left. Can anyone help me figure out what is going on? The code for the HTML is located here http://codeviewer.org/view/code:1f51 The code for the CSS is here: http://codeviewer.org/view/code:1f52
I am using the CSS code from a website I designed that works fine in that website. Why isn't it working here? The image name is "fundraiser.jpg"
Thanks for your help!

Problem is due to you not declaring the correct instructions for the class .float-left css selector:
Change this:
.float-left {
margin: 5px 10px 0 0;
To this:
.float-left {
float: left;
margin: 5px 10px 0 0;

Site previews fine in Firefox locally, but when I published the site all the text is the wrong size

I am a rookie web designer. I recently created a site using CS6. http://www.joshuahetzler.com When I previewed the site in Dreamweaver it looked good in Firefox and IE. I published the site and now it is messed up in Firefox. All the text is the wrong size. Does anyone know how to fix this? Does it have something to do with my hosting provider? (I deleted a wordpress site from the directory an hourago and put this new site in its place) Why does IE display properly, but not Firefox...

Caused by a bad link to your site's CSS file. This is pointing to a file on your local hard drive which nobody but you can see.
<link href="file:///C|/hetzlerj/jhgc/menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Open your template and reconcile the path to your site folder. It should probably look like this:
<link href="../menu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Save Template. Populate changes to Child pages. Upload Child pages.

Changing the text and the order of columns in ALV for WebDynpro

Hello experts, im using ALV in WebDynpro, and i have this code:
lr_column = lo_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'ZNC_MONTO_LIQ' ).
lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( )
lr_column_header->set_text( 'IMPORTE' ).
but this code, doesn't change the title of the column.
the same happens when i put the visibility in "none" or when i change the position of the column
Anyone can tell why this is happening?
Thanks!

You can't set the text of the generated header directly. You have to first delete the standard header and create a new one. You can then override the header text.
l_column = l_table->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'CREATED_AT' ).
l_column->delete_header( ).
l_header = l_column->create_header( ).
l_header->set_text( `Created At` ).

Chaning the text of the field name in CAT2 transaction

Hi experts,
I want to change the text of the standard field in the modifiable fields list under the worklist screen group. Is there any way to do this. If there is please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Asha

I have looked at the code again, and here's how I think it should work (but I can't run it to proof this):
In subroutine "get_ddic_information" (include LCATSF3Z), there is logic that starts:
* read ddic for CI_CATSDB
IF add_fields EQ yx.
... this reads in TCAFI and then gets the DDIC info for each field there. Within this "if" is some code:
* bring text on dynp
uaddfield = ncats_addfi_text.
that will set the value of "CATS_ADDFI_TEXTx" where "x" is the column number. These "DATA: cats_addfi_text1 LIKE cats_addfi-field1." through to "DATA: cats_addfi_text10 LIKE cats_addfi-field10." are defined in the top include, LCATSTOP and they show in screen 2100 as the column headers in the table control for the worklist columns CATS_ADDFI-FIELD1_W -_ CATS_ADDFI-FIELD10_W, so putting values in them should fill your custom column headers.
So if you set a soft breakpoint in that "get_ddic_information" form, you should be able to see these column headers getting set for each of your CATSDB custom fields... and if they are not getting set, work out why! You could also use debug to pop a value into, say, CATS_ADDFI_TEXT1, and check it appears in the table control column header.

A textblock on a Samsung tablet is changing it's width but the rectangel behind stays the original size, how can I make sure the text looks the same as in the muse preview?

The sample site for this would be:
http://www.gdmpro.de/index.html

Hello David,
It wasn't because of the size of the widget, which was correct. The same problem actually also occurred with the tabbed panels, some how the text just floated over the set boundaries from the widgets, which seems to me to be a bug. The solution for this problem was to change one of the characters of the text in the font size. I just increase a period one point and than the text filled the correct size of the text field.
You can see at:
http://www.gdmpro.de/tablet/leistungen.html
It would be great if this could be fixed for future releases. It is very impotent to me and my costumers that websites appear correct over any kind of device.

Can DW CS5 automate the creation of a link based on the text in the link?

Here's the situation. I often find myself creating blocks of code like this:
<a href="home?searchString=some text"><img src="..."></a>
<a href="home?searchString=some text">some text</a>
Is there a quick, painless way to type the "some text" part once and have DW automatically update the text in the links? This information is not dynamically generated, so server-side scripting is not an option.
Thanks!

Find & Replace in the source code is the only way I'm aware of.

How to change the text in the legend of a graph programmatically in labview

I have many graphs in one plot and want to show the legend the name of the graph (i.e. the filename). How do I change the text in the legend programmatically?

Create a property node for your graph. Use the property node "Active Plot" to define which plot (or line) you want to rename. Then write the new legend label to the property node "Plot.Name". See attached.

After upgrading to 10.2.2.12 on windows XP SP3 , itunes does not display any summary info or buttons/options. The buttons work but it does not display the text on the button or the options available.

I recently upgraded the iTunes software to 10.2.2.12 on my Windows XP laptop. Since then, iTunes stopped displaying the Summary info
, the text on the buttons, the various drop down options. The buttons seem to be working but I can't tell what that button is supposed to do
or the option I am selecting. This is preventing me from syncing my photos to the laptop.
this was not a problem with the previous version of iTunes.
Actions taken :
- I tried downloading iTunes again and repairing the install. That did not fix it.
- Don't want to uninstall it as I am worried that I would lose all the songs and the purchases etc.
1. Has anyone encountered this ?
2. Is there a solution for this ?
Many thanks in advance for your time and help

b noir, my Windows 7 machine is having the exact same issue as nsadal, and I have already confirmed that all six of the Segoe UI fonts are installed on my computer. Are any other Windows users having this problem with the 10.2.2.12 iTunes release?
Yeah it does, although the problem predates version 10.2.2.12. It's been around since earlier-on in the version 10s (at least).
It's usually Segoe UI font trouble on the Windows 7 systems too. Unfortunately, the Vortical troubleshooting technique only works on XP and Vista systems, so dealing with the issue on a Windows 7 system is trickier. (There's a bunch of different possible issues relating to the fonts that could be in play, and so the treatment tends to depend on which issue in particular you've got with the Segoe_UI fonts.)
For discussions of various Windows 7 variations of the "Missing text" thing, and possible treatments, see the following (unfortunately, rather long) topic:

The handle to the Step.Button1Label gets you the data, but there are several ways to get it into the actual report.
The easiest is to use the reporttext.
In a post expression, you can use something like
Step.Result.ReportText = Evaluate("Step.Button" + Str(Step.Result.ButtonHit) +"Label")
and then the default report generation will include it in the report. Otherwise, you need to get the text into the Resultlist by various means (check the user manual, or the TestStand II customisation course) and handle the report generation yourself inside of the appropriate sequence in the process model.

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
menu..but not the submenus?
Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
submenu...what can i do to solve this?

Does the example described at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
work for you?
What are you doing that's different from the example?
When you say you just want to change the text of the main
menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
actually tried it.
Hope that helps!
