Word breaks in Columns

hi there!
I am using indesign for a large amount of type formatting.
My problem begins when I have a word break and I try to kerm it in to come back to the line above and it doesn't work until it's kerned far too much. When I look at the column, there is plenty of room for the remainder of the word to kern back up, but something prevents it. I checked my text formats and all the insets are set to "0"
Does anyone know what is causing my word breaks to occur when it's clear there is enough room for the words to fit on one line?
Hope this makes sense!
Any help is much appreciated!

Other things to try after Peter's suggestion.
Turn off hyphenation for that paragraph only. Or change hyphenation settings.
Play with Optical vs. Metrics in the kerning field (sometimes one works, sometimes the other.)
Play with justification: make "minimum" and "desired" 99% instead of 100--you can try it on just that line.
You can find all these in the Control Bar. There's a contextual menu at the very right when you toggle the Control Bar to Paragraph, and you should see a list that includes Hyphenation and Justification.
Cheers.

Can I break table columns to allow for gutter???

I am placing a very large Excel table onto my spread. Can I break the columns and thread to a new frame on the next page to allow for gutter? This would be a vertical break rather than a horizontal break acheived by (shift+number panel enter).

Your attachment is still queued. If you *insert* instead of attach your picture (use the camera button at the top of the post window instead of the attach field at the bottom) we would be able to see it.
If your table has too many columns to fit on one page, you can open the text frame all the way across the spread and run your table completely across the spread. You'll have to put an extra, blank column across the dead zone between the pages.
If your table has too many rows to fit on one page, you can thread the text frame to a second frame on the next page (doesn't matter if it's across a spread or not, although keeping it on a spread certainly is easier for the reader).
What you can't do is break rows. ID won't split a row across pages the way Word will.
Hope that helped. If it didn't, insert your picture 'cause that queue can take days.

Error "Unable to load word breaker for locale 0. Error code 8007007e." with search service application.

I recreate the Search service application and the default Content source stayning in the 'Recovering' status.
The log give multiple error 'Unable to load word breaker for locale 0. Error code 8007007e.'
The default language is English and the reference in registry for word breaker dll is naturallanguage1.dll but I found only the naturallanguage6.dll.

Hi,
For your issue, check your current language settings and ensure that search supports the current language.
On the SharePoint Server open Registry Editor (Start -> type “Regedit” and hit enter).
Point to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeServer\14.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\LanguageResources\Default\English
Under the registry key for each of the languages there is a value called StemmerDLLPath and WBDLLPathOverride
Updated the registry entry with NATURA~1.dll to NATURA~2.dll
Point to Start -> Administrative Tools -> Services, right click on SharePoint Server Search 14 and click on Restart.
Performed a Full Crawl and wait for the Full Crawl to complete and try searching again.
For more detailed information, refer to the following blogs:

Custom word-breaks possible?

Hello everybody,
is there a way to create a custom word-break setting? In Mac OS 10.6, included options in the "Language & Text" prefpane are "Standard", "English", "Greek" and "Japanese". But none of these settings regard the "_" character as a word-separator, so double-klicking i.e. on the first word in "word1_word2" highlights both words. Nor can you jump from word1 to word2 in a Texteditor using the Alt-Arrow command.
Even if this goes deep into the System level, there has to be a file that's defining what is to be considered as a word-break and what not. Or somewhere there have to be the definitions for the above mentioned settings. Any clues? The ability to modify these setting wouold really help me a lot as I often have to deal with filenames consisting of "dateplus_severalwords" and renaming these files is a pain.
Thanks in advance and Best Regards,
Werner

This is probably governed by a system-level .plist file somewhere which you could manually modify. The problem is finding out exactly where it is.....

How to solve the auto word break problem in Arabic language Flex project

Hi, I'm using Flex SDK 3.5 to develop a game in Arabic. Now I have a problem with the auto word break on the TextArea Control.
The output looks like this (Sorry I can't type arabic, so I use English instead)
I don't know any A
rabic text
The expected outpit should be
I don't know any
Arabic text
My settings of the textarea are fine in English version games. But just didn't work in Arabic. Any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi Rodger,
Sorry to reopen this thread again. I was puzzled by the data format in Motion-DDK.
From the Motion-DDK, if u32, i32 and f64 data are passed to and from the controller, a specific format must be followed as below:
u32:
u32 cmddata[x] = (WORD) (u32data ?16);
cmddata[x + 1] = (u16) u32data;
i32:
i32 cmddata[x] = (WORD) (i32data ?16);
cmddata[x + 1] = (i16) i32data;
f64:
f64—big endian order cmddata[x] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [3];
cmddata[x + 1] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [2];
cmddata[x + 2] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [1];
cmddata[x + 3] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [0];
f64—little endian order cmddata[x] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [0];
cmddata[x + 1] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [1];
cmddata[x + 2] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [2];
cmddata[x + 3] = ((u16) (&f64data)) [3];
My first question: is the "?" symbol means the >> (shift operator) or something else?
The second question is: if "?" means ">>" in this list, all the u32 and i32 data are always transferred in big-endian order. Is it the only correct way to deliver the i32 and u32 data? Or I can pass the u32 and i32 either in little-order or big-order depending on my platform?
The last one: could you provide a feasible C code on how to convert the f64 data to u16?
I first followed the format in the list to convert the f64 data, but met with a lot of compiler errors in VC++. After checked with MSDN, it is said the convert process is double(f64)->long(i32)->unsigned short(u16). But the decimal part of double will be truncated during converting to long...
So, could you help me with some very simple sample code on the convert process?
Thank you for your support!

Disable break points column

Hi Ppl,
I'm using the LabVIEW code of the full featured user interface. I want to disable the break points column from the sequence file steps view. I tried setting the station option enable break points to false. This disabled the break points but still the break point column was still there and I was able to set disabled breakpoints(white colored one) in the sequence file steps view. In the sequence file step view control properties also I couldn't find any column for the break points. How do I disable the break points column.
Thanks

You may need to use dynamic sql for the same:
Try the sample script:
create Table factFinance_backup(Col1 int identity(1,1),Col2 Varchar(50))
Insert into factFinance_backup Select 'SQL'
Insert into factFinance_backup Select 'Server'
Select * From factFinance_backup
declare @tbname varchar(200),
@query varchar(500)
set @tbname ='factFinance_backup'
Exec('SET IDENTITY_INSERT '+@tbname + ' ON;
Insert into factFinance_backup (Col1,Col2) Select 100,''Test'';
SET IDENTITY_INSERT '+@tbname + ' OFF;')
Select * From factFinance_backup
Insert into factFinance_backup Select 'test1'
Select * From factFinance_backup
Drop table factFinance_backup

Word break problems when typing in Asian fonts like 'Nepali and Hindi'

Hi!
I have to type Nepali and Hindi words but the words break unnecessarily. Is there any option in InDesign CS4 to control it? I know very well that in Pagemaker these Nepali and Hindi words do not break but in InDesign. Why?
How to fix it? Any idea will be highly respected.
I'm using Vista 32-bit with SP2.
Thanks.

Option #1: do not hyphenate the text at all. You don't say if this is all Nepali/Hindi, or mainly English text with some foreign words -- if there is no English text at all, you could disable hyphenation entirely.
Option #2: Do Not Break. If you are using character styles for the Nepali/Hindi text (for example, because you need to change the font), you could apply No Break to the entire string. Don't do this if it's more than a few words, though (or treat the spaces inbetween differently).
Option #3: Create a GREP style with just No Break in it. Then apply this to Nepali/Hindi text runs only -- http://indesignsecrets.com/search-for-foreign-language-characters-in-text.php shows you how.
I know very well that in Pagemaker these Nepali and Hindi words do not break but in InDesign. Why?
There must be a difference in the default word breaking algorithm. I wouldn't have guessed ID would break text with dedicedly foreign character sets applying its default hypenation rules, but there you go.

Strange behaviour on searching Chinese word (maybe related with word breaker?)

Dear all,
On my SP2013 environment, I have installed Chinese (traditional) language pack and I am able to search out Chinese document after crawling. However most of the time I cannot search out document with "single" word or "sentence".
I have to search using "term".
For example, our test document contains a sentence "中國語文". I can search out this document with "中國" or "語文" or "中國(space)語文". But I cannot search it out with any other combination like "中", "文",
or "中國語文".
I think it is related with Traditional Chinese specific word breaker but it would be a huge effort for me write a custom one. (ref:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms693186(v=vs.85).aspx) However, can I just disable word breaker (so that there is no "term" or "sentence" concept for
Chinese crawling & searching?)
Thanks.
P.S. I have looked around and found an article (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlfts/archive/2010/09/03/part1-sql-full-text-search-and-international-characters-interesting-scenarios-solutions-amp-deep-dive-using-dmv-s.aspx)
talking about similar issue on SQL2008.
Mark

I have tried to disable the word breaker for both Traditional and Simplied Chinese following this article:
http://sharepointknowledgebase.blogspot.hk/2012/08/need-to-disable-word-breaker- in.html
After restart the search services and running a full-crawl, the behaviour do changed a little bit but still far from expected. Searching single Chinese word (e.g. 語) sometimes work and sometimes not work.

APEX IR report - breaking down columns

Hello experts,
I am creating Interactive Report and need break down couple columns.
ex:
country province city
USA CA city1
USA CA city2
USA MA city3
USA MA city4
What I need to display is:
USA CA city1
___ __ city2
___ MA city3
___ __ city4
I can display this format using classic report. When I use IR report, the breaking down column goes on the top.
How can I get the same format in IR ?
BTW, I don't have any print server setup.
Many thanks.
Edited by: user2855902 on Oct 7, 2012 6:24 PM

Thanks for the reply.
I can go to the header and click control break, but the report format is not what I need.
By clicking control break, I can get report:
USA
CA city1
CA city2
MA city3
MA city4
I need display "USA" at the left side.
Thanks.

Words break at margin - no hyphenation even

I recently opened an old Pages document with Pages 8 and found that all my text is not being treated as words, but just as individual letters. When the space runs out, the next letter in the word goes down to the next line. Here is an example:
I recently opened an old Pa
ges document with Pages 8 a
nd found that all my text is n
ot being treated as words, bu
t just as individual letters.
So this is what it looks like, and when I type an extra space in there, it just pushes the next LETTER down, and ignores that fact that there are WORDS there. I have tried copying it, and pasting, but it brings the formatting. Any suggestions on settings to check, or a different way to copy and paste it?
Thanks!

Trevor,
Is there anything that distinguishes the spaces between words from the spaces between characters? It seems as though there should be. Find and Replace is the ultimate solution. In the worst case, the spaces between words are multiples of the ones between letters. In this case, Copy the string of characters between two words and paste it into the Find field. In the Replace field enter a unique string such as QQ. Replace all. Now all your word breaks are replaced by QQ. Next Copy one of those things that are now separating your characters and Paste into the Find field. Delete anything in the Replace field so that it is absolutely blank. Double click in the Replace field to make sure that nothing gets highlighted, indicating that it is blank. Replace All.
Now, enter your QQ, or whatever, word separator into the Find field, enter a space into the Replace field, and Replace All.
You should be good to go.

Incorrect word breaks, language with no dictionary

I am working on a two language document, English and Cree. The problem is with Cree, which is based on syllabics, and is not recognized by ID. It breaks the words at the edge of each column, not necessarily at the end of each word.
Is there a way to get ID to break lines only at spaces and do no hyphenation (it currently does not do any hyphenation for the Cree texts)? I assume that users in non-supported languages have the same problem, and the current solution is to go through manually and insert line breaks at the appropriate point, which is particularly hard when you can't read the text (a translator is hired off-site).
I hope someone has a better solution.

Ehm ... because InDesign can't load the correct rules for that language? No language = no rules.
Go ahead, try it.
It is something different than unchecking "Hyphenation" -- that works on entire paragraphs only. This will work for any word (or phrase, sentence, paragraph, multiple book set) you don't want to be hyphenated.
[Post-thought:] "No language" may lead to surprising results with some OpenType fonts, as a lot (if not all) of features may be tagged to the language. You might suddenly miss ligatures, for example. So, other than for "Other" languages, you should probably just switch hyphenation off.
End of disclaimer.

Webforms - Wrap Text/Word Wrap for Column Headings

I have some member aliases that are set as my webform's column headings, but they are fairly long. Setting the column width to a custom value that fits most of the text in the heading makes the form very wide and ugly to work with. I don't see any option to Wrap Text or use Word Wrap in the column headings. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am not aware of any option which allows you to wrap the text, it may be possible customizing the [CSS |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_hp_admin/ch12s03.html] though to be honest I am not even sure about that and even if it was possible it would apply to all apps.

How can I search for partial matching words in various columns without needing to provide search text?

I have a list of names in three columns - B2:B425, D2:406, & E2:30 where they were input by different people, so the names are worded differently. For example, I can have the name "Handler, Jones, & Wright" and someone else has the name
listed as "Handler Corp." What I need is to find a formula or VBA macro code that can search through my list and notice the possible duplicates and highlight them. Since they are all different names, I cannot give it a unique "text" to
search.
I found a code posted in this forum from some time ago (for two columns) but it highlighted all these names that had no partial words in common. Perhaps you can look over the code below and modify it for me or provide me with another one? Please let me know
if you need any further information to guide me.
Sub HighlightDups()
Dim rg1 As Range, rg2 As Range, c As Range, d As Range
Dim sTemp As String, sTempWords() As String, sTempDWords() As String
Dim re As Object, mc As Object
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim sFirstAddress As String
Set rg1 = Range("B2", Cells(Rows.Columns.Count, "B").End(xlUp))
Set rg2 = Range("D2", Cells(Rows.Columns.Count, "D").End(xlUp))
Set re = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
re.Global = True
re.ignorecase = True
With Range(rg1, rg2)
.Font.Color = vbBlack
.Font.Bold = False
.Interior.Color = xlNone
.FormatConditions.Delete
End With
For Each c In rg1
re.Pattern = "\b\w+\b"
If re.test(c.Text) = True Then
Set mc = re.Execute(c.Text)
ReDim sTempWords(0 To mc.Count - 1)
For i = 0 To UBound(sTempWords)
sTempWords(i) = mc(i)
Next i
For i = 0 To UBound(sTempWords)
Set d = rg2.Find(What:=sTempWords(i), _

MatchCase:=False)
If Not d Is Nothing Then
re.Pattern = "\b" & sTempWords(i) & "\b"

How can I search a word in a column and erase all the rows containing that word?

How can I erase all the rows containing a certain word at once?
Right now I do it manually : I search the word in a certain column with cmd+f, after that it points out where the word is in different rows. And then I manually erase every row but this takes a lot of time when you have 500 row! There must be a way to select all the rows concerned at once and erase them? Thks!

assuming this is something you don't do very often you can simply use the search feature to identify instances of the search term, and select the row, delete the row then search again.
The next level would be to add a new column where you identify that the search term exists in a cell of the row, then you sort by the new column:
B1=IF(IFERROR(FIND("team", A1,1), 0)>0, "FOUND", "")
my search term is "team" change yours as needed.
select B1, copy,
select Column B, paste
Now sort:
Inspect the rows to make sure the rows found are REALLY ones you want to remove. select the ones you want to remove and delete those rows.

Control break on column displayed as link in Interactive Report

Hi,
If someone can help me, i'd greatly appreciate it!
I created an interactive report - one of the columns has a link attached to url specified in the Report Attributes/ link section.
When I use the control break feature in the gear icon, the report seems to be grouped by the url/link and not by the actual column value.
When I remove the link from the column - all is fine and the break does work.
This column must get displayed as a link. Is there any workaround for this problem?
Thanks,
Hindy

Hi,
I don't know the details of the procedure, but you would have something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "print_model_change"
v_acctnum NUMBER,
v_model VARCHAR2,
v_rrcode NUMBER
AS
BEGIN
.. DO SOMETHING WITH v_acctnum, v_model, v_rrcode
END;This needs to be updated to something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "print_model_change"
v_manager_model NUMBER
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
    v_acctnum NUMBER;
    v_model VARCHAR2;
    v_rrcode NUMBER;
BEGIN
    SELECT ACCTNUM, MODEL, RRCODE
    INTO v_acctnum, v_model, v_rrcode
    FROM .. your report's FROM statement plus ..
    WHERE MANAGER_MODEL = v_manager_model;
    .. DO SOMETHING WITH v_acctnum, v_model, v_rrcode
END;
END;and followed by:
GRANT EXECUTE ON "print_model_change" TO PUBLICto make it available
The existing code receives all the data it would need (presumably). The updated code receives the manager_model value and, using the same FROM clause that you have for your report PLUS a WHERE clause (or, if you are using a WHERE clause in your report, change this to AND), finds the data that it needs for v_acctnum etc. After it has that data, the rest of the existing code can be used unchanged.
