How to Write Superscript/Subscript Characters in Description Field?

The ones I mentioned from Wikipedia and lucida sans UNICODE are unicode characters... Both have same value, for example superscript 2 ( ² ) has uni-node value of U+00B2.
If it's working it does mean your system supports unicode in longtext.

Increse characters in role description field (CUP)

Hi all,
I´m looking for a way to increase the number of characters in the role description field (in CUP). The default number that I have is 100, but I need more.
Thanks in advance

Do we need to go into the code of the Contributor UI for this? Or can this be done by changing the contenttype in one of the property files?

Is there a way to have the description field in a calendar list item to support enhanced rich text?

We have a user who has a few hundred calendar items created in outlook. If you open the calendar item, the description includes tables with borders, shading, etc. It seems that the description field in Sharepoint calendars only support basic rich text,
so if I copy the items from the user's calendar to the sharepoint calendar, the formatting is lost. Is there any way to create a custom calendar with enhanced rich text for the description field?

This is a workaround that is working for us. I created a new column "Event Description", selected "Plain Text" and then created a basic workflow that updated Description from Event Description. #160 is no longer showing.
Please be aware that the trick to this is that you must write everything in a string. In other words, don't use the Enter key.
In my case it was worth it as we couldn't rebuild and the user needed a valid and quick fix.

Greyed out superscript/subscript buttons

Hi,
When I'm using pages '11 I seem to have no control over when I can use the superscript/subscript icons on the toolbar. Most of the time they are greyed out and I cannot use them at all. Every now and again they are able to be used without me changing any settings? Any ideas? Cheers!
Calum

You have to have your cursor blinking in the text layer
You want to write in superscript so you click on the superscript icon and the you write
Now you want to go back to normal text so you click on the superscript icon again.
I found out it doesn't work as well in a text box in a Page layout document. No problem in the word processing document, neither in the text layer or in a text box.

How to make Measuring Point Description Field scrollable on the Detail Read Screen

In the Measuring Point Read Detail Screen (Rounds Manager), the description field does not have a scroll bar like it does on the Point Read Counter Detail Screen. This means that the end-user has to arrow-over to the right on the handheld device to see the entire description. We changed the transaction property to be the same as that on the measuring point field on the Counter screen but that did not resolve the issue. We are assuming that the field width is defined in columns but are not sure if columns is the same as pixels. It seems like there is some type of behind the sceens calculation based on the number of pixels used by the characters in the description. The transaction property does have word wrap activated but it seems to make no difference. Does anyone have any suggestions on what can be done to make the measuring point description have a scrollbar and have the description wrap? The Rounds Server is version 2.3.

1. wall of unformatted code. Use \ tags when posting code.
2. you're not even asking a question. You're just saying "it doesn't work" and then you dump the code. What do you expect? That people now go to debug it for you?

Cleaning up the description field in the product export file?

Hello.
Here's the challenge: I have a large product list with large descriptions; with commas and other sorts of punctuation in it that will not allow me to simply download a product export file and re-upload it again without a lot of manual work to clean up all the "descriptions..." A lot of manual work.
Anyone know of a good way, or Excel Macro that can be used to clean up or remove all commas from the Description field in a product export file. Or maybe ignore this column, or something?
Many Thanks would be in order!
Tad

Hi Nicole,
Thanks for the quick response!
Yeah, it is odd, because I've seen it work with some simple test sites with a few products, but not so fortunate on this one and it has many products.
When I export the product list, all the data is generated in a single column, and a few bad characters in the first row, I'll highlight that column in Excel and "convert column to rows using comma delimited." I've tried a number of ways with the same results... For every comma in the description it'll push the text into the next column and offset the applicable information. In the end I have rows that don't have correct info and field elements not aligning with the right data. I'll end up getting a multitude of errors like the one below:
Error ERROR: [No Name found]. Import process failed on record: [35] Please ensure 1) mandatory columns are present, 2) all products have Product Codes defined, which should be unique (if importing products)
Example of export down load - single column - one record with header
Example of column converted to rows - one record with header (partial copy to column S):
Thanks for your feedback,
Tad

Search for certain Characters within set of Characters - in a field

Hello -
I know a search can be made within a field for a word, but I am not to sure, or I don't know how to accomplish this...To do a search in a field for certain characters within a larger set of charcters.
For example: I would search, in the Call Description field, for DXXXX within CA0001DXXXXYYY or search for LXXXX within CA0001LXXXXYYY, the X is numeric characters and the Y's are Alpha characters. Can crystal accomplish this....
Thanks for your gracious help....
G.

Like I said earlier, this code:
If instr({database_field}, 'DXXXX') > 0 then "String Found" else "Not Found"
cannot be used in a Record Selection formula.
The following code can be used in the Record Selection formula:
Instr({database field}, "string") > 0
If you wish to search for 'D4444' in the field and return records where a match is found, you would use:
Instr({database field}, "D4444") > 0

Search the forum before posting a question.
In APEX 4.0, set the Column Width property of the text column. Column Width doesn't seem to have made it into the external documentation, but the online help says:
>
Specify the column width in pixel. The attribute is used when displaying reports in the browser. Note that setting the column width must be supported by the selected report template.
>
Therefore ensure that there is a <tt>#COLUMN_WIDTH#</tt> substitution string in your chosen report template, where the column template(s) should look something like:
<td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#" class="data" #COLUMN_WIDTH#>#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>In both APEX 4.0 and previous versions you can control column width using the Column Formatting CSS Style property, which allows you to use units other than pixels:

By "Description field" do you mean a report column or a text item? Is this "report" really a report or is it a tabular form?

Need to limit amount of visible characters in a field

I have a page that displays a list of projects. One of the
fields is a description field and I'm trying to figure out how to
have the description field display only about 200 characters
instead of the whole description. Ideally, I'd like to have a link
titled 'expand' to show the whole description in that field. The
data is part of a Spry Dataset so the field in the table is called
{system_description}. Are there any examples out there on how to do
this?

OpenSQL doesn't have a SUBSTRING statement as it does in PL-SQL. You could select the data into a work area and then do a substring on the field into a varaible within the code. Something like:
DATA: l_char9(9) TYPE c.
SELECT
char30
FROM
table_a
ENDELECT.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
l_char9 = table_a-char30+0(9).
ENDIF.

Strange formatting and symbols appearing in podcast description fields

Hey guys!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend so far. I'm having problems with the text formatting in the podcast description sections. For some reason strange characters are added in the podcast description fields that aren't there when I initially enter them in. Examples "nbsp;" "mdash", "ersquo;s". I feel like its related to the font or when I use punctuation. Can anybody here point me to the solution?
Check out what I mean here. This happens in both the main description and in the individual show descriptions:

Thank you in advance guys! Really appreciate it

These are incomplete html codes for characters - you've left off the ampersand which must begin them.
is a non-breaking space
’ is the apostrophe or quote - '
&emdash; is a wide dash.
Firstly: you cannot use these named codes in XML, you have to use the numerical equivalents. If you are handwriting the code you can use ' for the apostrophe. But in general you should avoid using any of these codes: the iTunes Store usually does not render them but displays them. You should stick to plain text and paragraph returns. You've used a straightforward apostrophe elsewhere - 'She's been pIcked up by al the major labels' - and that's worked; so use that instead of the quote, use a straight dash - instead of the emdash, and replace the non-breaking space with an ordinary one.

Workflow Description Field truncation

I was wondering if there was a work around to display more than 256 characters in the Approval workflow history list for column description? If, so how do you do it? I deployed a custom Approval workflow using SharePoint Designer 2010 and InfoPath. It
is working really well just that when a user rejects an item they have to put a comment. In most cases it is below the 255 limit however, in some instances it is above. Any help is appreciated!

Hi ams015,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the limitation of the Description field in workflow history.
The description field of a workflow history list is truncated when the number of characters used goes beyond 255. This behavior is a by-design limitation, SharePoint 2010 implements a restriction on the number of characters that can be used in a multiline
text box. The reason is that the OLE property stream doesn't support more than 255 characters. Having more than 255 characters would cause problems demoting properties into documents.

More than one description Field

Hi,
Is it possible to have more than one field that can stores more than 255 chars?
currently we have just one i.e. the "description" field at the bottom.
There are different fields which store some data which could go above 255 characters.
I don't want to use Notes.
does anyone have any clever ideas?
Thanks,
Royston

Thanks for your suggestions!
We have 6 fields on Activities which are supposed to contain some text about the activities, this is easily above 255 chars. We may also have to report on these.
This happens for only two types of activities, for the others we don't have these 6 fields.
The thing is we need that text to be tied up to those particular fields, so we can report on them if needed.
Thanks,
Royston

ESS Travel Management - Link ITEM TEXT with DESCRIPTION field

Hi guys!
We are using the travel management in ess.
If I create a trip and use for example the travel expense type flight or hotel and
write a description for each type, I want, that this description is display in the ITEM TEXT in tc FB03.
But the ITEM TEXT displayed always for example *Trip from 09.06.2008 to 12.06.2008
for each position. In the IMG I found nothing to modify this text field.
Where can I customize this field?
It is possible to link the ITEM TEXT with description field in ESS.
Thanks,
Dirk Sorgatz

Hello Dirk,
You can use the method ex_sgtxt of Badi TRIP_POST_FI to manipulate the transferred segment text!

Hi Kevin,
here is the Example for the offset which you want
DATA TIME TYPE T VALUE '172545'.
WRITE TIME.
WRITE / TIME+2(2).
CLEAR TIME+2(4).
WRITE / TIME.
The output appears as follows:
172545
25
170000
First, the minutes are selected by specifying an offset in the WRITE statement. Then, the minutes and seconds are set to their initial values by specifying an offset in the clear statement.
2nd Example:-
DATA: F1(8) VALUE 'ABCDEFGH',
F2(8).
DATA: O TYPE I VALUE 2,
L TYPE I VALUE 4.
MOVE F1 TO F2. WRITE F2.
MOVE F1+O(L) TO F2. WRITE / F2.
MOVE F1 TO F2+O(L). WRITE / F2.
CLEAR F2.
MOVE F1 TO F2+O(L). WRITE / F2.
MOVE F1O(L) TO F2O(L). WRITE / F2.
This produces the following output:
ABCDEFGH
CDEF
CDABCD
ABCD
CDEF
First, the contents of F1 are assigned to F2 without offset specifications. Then, the same happens for F1 with offset and length specification. The next three MOVE statements overwrite the contents of F2 with offset 2. Note that F2 is filled with spaces on the right, in accordance with the conversion rule for source type C.
