XML Import is left aligning my right alignment style with an override, how do I force it to left?

I'm importing an XML file, using the Import XML menu item, using InDesign CS4.
In the document I've got a table, with an XML structure in the structure tree, matching in the incoming file. Everything works fine, except that after the 4 "template rows" that I've set up Indesign adds new rows automatically, and for all InDesign auto added rows, InDesign is not using the right alignment that I've set up in the paragraph style applied to the first rows... The style is kept, but overridden by a flush left. (Why?)
How do I deal with this? I need the right column to go on right aligning
Best regards, Andreas

Map tags to styles took care of the problem.

Graph legend width change - Left aligned or right aligned

Hello all,
when I place an XY-Graph with Plot-Legend shown in LV2012, the text of the plot name is left aligned, wich is, what I want. With this behaviour the little pictures, representing the plot attributes, are fixed. After migrating to LV2014 I realized, that the text is now right aligned, which means, that the little pictures are moving to left & right, depending on the plot name length.
I found no property controlling this behaviour.
As a workaround I could set the plot legend position depending on its width, when the plot name is changed, but there is no event, firing when the plot name is changed by the user. So I would have to poll the plot names in the timeout case of my event structure. Btw. I have to show six XY- graphs on my FP, so polling can cause a remarkable CPU load (when I do it 1000 times / s ).
Any suggestions?
Greets, Dave

Hello Dominik,
thank you for your reply.
I'd like to show you the problem with some pictures:
The left picture shows the original situation, the right picture demonstrates the behaviour with LV2012, the legend is right aligned.
The same situation in LV2014, the legend is right aligned.

[CS2][AS] Make XML import map is calling a refresh on styles?

If this can be of use to someone else... it's probably not CS2,AS specific.. but this is what i use.
It's the second time i have a bug like this, where changing the order of my calls is fixing the problem. With this one, i was getting random missing font error (times(1)) while batching documents(wich make the batch script batch crash as there is a modal dialog open). Not always on the same document, it was really fustrating as i was not able to get my finger on the problem!
I actually knew the source of the problem as i had added a fix (maybe not the best solution, but it was working well) that actually was removing the style from all the text frame (i noticed that using map style to tag was not always working well(when text frame had overriden?), so that's why i added code to reset the style before doing a map. But i was not understanding why it was happening so randomly...
I tought at first it was happening during save (as it reopen the document) but after a few experimentation it looked like it was occuring during the import map redefinition (See code below: make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}).
Looks like the make XML import is calling some sort of document refresh wich then pop the font missing dialog (even with never interact as script preferences!)! (missing font is actually a bug i had also in other circumstances.. exemple when you have a extra return at the end of a tagged text (outside the tag)). A bit unexpected, i really tought that creating a xml import map was just creating data structure in document model to be used later on by the auto style call...
The problematic script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myDocument to document 1
tell myDocument
--Reset styles.
set applied character style of every text of every text frame of every spread to character style 1
set applied paragraph style of every text of every text frame of every spread to paragraph style 1
--Create a tag to style mapping.
set tList to name of every XML tag
set tNumItems to count of tList
repeat with i from 1 to tNumItems
set tStyle to item i of tList
make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}
end repeat
--Map the XML tags to the defined styles.
auto style
end tell
end tell
And the working solution (just moved the reset of style after the import map creation loop):
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myDocument to document 1
tell myDocument
--Create a tag to style mapping.
set tList to name of every XML tag
set tNumItems to count of tList
repeat with i from 1 to tNumItems
set tStyle to item i of tList
make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}
end repeat
--Reset styles.
set applied character style of every text of every text frame of every spread to character style 1
set applied paragraph style of every text of every text frame of every spread to paragraph style 1
--Map the XML tags to the defined styles.
auto style
end tell
end tell

it doesnt print any server control message. in my "page_404.jsp" I am printing current date and time (to check if the server visited that page) everytime when i refresh "index.jsp" the server goes to "page_404.jsp" and prints the current date and time.
so basically the only message which the console shows is the current date/time which i am printing in the "page_404.jsp"
Thanks.

I think the swipe left and swip right ability interferes with the formatting of web page content to fit the screen - can this be fixed?

I have an android HTC EVO (Sprint) w/ firmware version 2.2.
Using the original Google browser I can expand web pages (such as forums) not optimized for mobiles and it re-formats to fit within the right/left screen size no matter the orientation of the device. I can read comfortably left to right and only need to scroll up/down.
Using Firefox 4 Mobile on the same web pages, when expanding the type does get bigger but they do not reformat left/right - they run off the screen, no matter the device orientation. Reading becomes tedious because I have to scroll right/left as well as up/down.
I believe this is related to the swipe left/swipe right design of FFox 4 Mobile.
Is there a fix for this?
If not, I'll have to go back to the original Google browser.

Firefox does have an option to reformat text to fit the screen, but it works a bit different than the built-in browser. For instructions, see this page on [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/zoom-in-and-out?s=reformat&as=s#w_how-does-double-tapping-work Reformatting Text].
This feature is still experimental, and we plan to improve it in future versions.

When starting my MAC on the home page with my icons-- how do I arrange icons alphabetically left to right

How does one arrange icons from left to right ala Windows. I would like the Mac disk icon in the upper left of the window followed by app and file icons to appear in alphabetical order from left to right. I know it will go vertically and then to the next row. I have been reading English like this for over 60 yrs and the default set-up gives an old man a large pain in the head. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jim Buckley

I think they do it to be a pain in the ***. There is no reason to have people read in reverse alpha order. Some countries read right to left but here it's reversed. You think the geniuses here would figure out how to make allowance for that in their software.
I love the mac mini's size, etc, but using mac in general has made me nuts. I don't understand how people think it's intuitive. I find myself taking a ridiculous amount of steps to get anything done, but it may just be me. I know some people just love them.

Just need the record from the right (many) table with the max value for the Record on the left (one) side table

SELECT
ADHOC.ATS_ESH.Entry_Num
,ADHOC.ATS_ESH.Importer
,ADHOC.ATS_ESH.Version AS [ATS_ESH Version]
,ADHOC.ATS_ESL.Version AS [ATS_ESL Version]
FROM
ADHOC.ATS_ESH
INNER JOIN ADHOC.ATS_ESL
    ON ADHOC.ATS_ESH.Customs_Entry_Num = ADHOC.ATS_ESL.Customs_Entry_Num
I just need to see the MAXIMUM version number in the ESL table for each Entry_Num in the ESH table. ESH is the one side, ESL is the MANY side.

Do you understand what this query is doing? Did you check the blogs I pointed you to?
The query I provided gets the latest ESL version for each custom number. So, if max ESL version is higher than ESH version, it's just a coincidence. If you only want to see rows where versions do not match, just add an extra where condition, e.g.
SELECT * FROM cte WHERE Rn = 1
AND  [ATS_ESH
Version] <>  [ATS_ESL
Version]
BTW, what is the type of these version
columns and what kind of data in them? If they are character columns, sorting them in DESC order will not necessary return the latest version. Can you show some samples of the data in these two columns?

Right alignment for OO tree column

Hi experts,
how can i align the data of type characters in the OO tree alv display? i want to align it to the right.
Thanks.

Hello,
Set Alignment of the Text in the Column
You are able to set where the content of a column will be put:
·        Left aligned
·        Centered
·        Right-aligned
You are able to change the alignment of text in the design object (header and footer area of page or list) and in the ALV output.
Use the method CL_SALV_COLUMN SET_ALIGNMENT

Smart Form - Right Aligning of Quantity & Currency Fields

Hi,
I have a paragraph set with left aligned. But the Decimals Fields (Quantity & Currency) are to be made Right Aligned. I am using &Structure-Field(R)& to force the respective fields right aligned. But this is not working. I am not sure, what is that I am missing to look into. Can you please suggest me a suitable method to make it work?
Thanks,
Kannan

Kannan,
I had faced a similar problem and got it rectified by delcaring a paragraph format which is right aligned.
go to smartstyles.
create a paragraph format R and click on the INDENTS AND SPACING tab wherein set the alignment as RIGHT-ALIGNED.
Now come to the smartform
open the respecitve smartform.
click on the text for Quantity and Currency and in the respective windows click on OUTPUT OPTIONS tab and mention the style name ( the style which you have used in smartstyles).
Come to the General Attributes and give the same Paragraph format in the Text editor.
This should solve the problem.If any doubt reverut it.
Reward points if found helpful.

How can I keep left- and right-aligned paragraphs together on the same line?

I am currently trying to typeset a menu. Basically, I want the Dish Title to be left-aligned and the Price right-aligned — but on the same line. I can achieve the effect by typing in a shift+tab after the Dish Title text and then inserting the price, but I would rather have two distinct paragraphs styles, so that I can adjust them globally to see what looks good. I can achieve the effect by adjusting the Price character baseline of the price and moving it up, but then if I need to make any price changes, I find it a pain trying to get the cursor in the right place in situations where a baseline is substantially altered.
Back in the old days (in Ventura!!), I could just remove the line break after the "Dish Title" style and the "Price" would move up to the same line, but I can't seem to be able to do this in CS6.
Any ideas?

Please show some examples. It's easier to help you.
If I understand right, use a paragraph style with a right aligned tab and nested styles and grep styles. That's extremly flexible.
Have fun

How come when i copy txt left aligned indesign keeps on pasting the txt right aligned?

I had to use a indesign english-arabic for a while (turned back to english international afterwards). Ever since i did that when i copy txt left aligned indesign keeps on pasting the txt right aligned. it is mind boggling & very annoying. i've put all my prefs back to my regular dutch setting, but even when i past with a paragraph style left aligned it keeps on putting it right aligned... Help.

but the i loose all my styles...
It should paste with wahtever style is assigned at the insertion point when you paste without formatting... Pasting formatted text is going to bring all the formatting (including what will become local overrides) with it.
Is your text showing the + sign to indicate a local override of the style? If it is you can clear the overrides after pasting.

FPM_LIST_UIBB labels coming Right Aligned even if -WDSTYLE_LABELALIGNMENT is set Left

Hi All,
The label of the overview page created for the service created using - FPM_LIST_UIBB is coming as Right aligned. I have set the Application Parameter - WDSTYLE_LABELALIGNMENT = LEFT . The Label have become left aligned for Detail page which are of type FPM_FORM_UIBB.
Any suggestion how to make the label left aligned .
Thanks,
Amol

Your business requirement is to make fields shown in overview screen(FPM_LIST_UIBB) to be left aligned. In general, if we maintain WDSTYLE_LABELALIGNMENT=LEFT while launching HRESS_AC_PERSINFO application configuration then fields in detail screen(FPM_FORM_UIBB) maintained for FPM_FORM_UIBB becomes left aligned. In application HRESS_AC_PERSINFO for overview screen, we are using following : Component: FPM_LIST_UIBB Rendering style:Row Repeater When the fpm_list_uibb is rendered in mode "Rendering style:Row Repeater" then the UI elements are fixed and the layout cannot be influenced. We are aware of this restriction. Therefore there is a new fpm guibb in order to display a row repeater. The name of it is FPM_FORM_REPEATER_UIBB, but it is available only starting with sap_basis, 7.31, sp5.

Why is InDesign6 rendereing left-aligned text as right-aligned?

I have a Word Document and we're feeding it to InDesign 5.5 and InDesign 6. The text are left-aligned and were rendered as such by 5.5. InDesign 6 renders it as right-aligned. I'm not sure why this is happening!
Microsoft Word
Indesign 5.5
InDesign 6

^ I don't think so. I'm on a trial version that I downloaded from the english site.

Right align page numbers that are to the left of TOC entries

I posted a similar question about a year ago that I believe Harbs or Peter answered, but darned if I can find the thread. At that time they provided a script that did a GREP search, finding a sentence that starts with a digit and replacing it with a tab. I still have the script, but for some reason it is not working correctly with my new TOC layout.It should insert a tab to the left of the page number (page numbers are to the left of the TOC entries), and force the numbers to right align so that a single digit page number right aligns with the right edge of a double-digit page number.
Find: ^(\d+)
Change to: \t$1
What happens in the new TOC is the script finds a digit and inserts a tab to the left of the page number. The page numbers move to the right, but they don't right align. They are further to the right, but they numbers themselves are still left aligned.
I'm mystified as to why the script doesn't work on this new layout. I'm using CS4 now, and it still works on the old layout. There is nothing terribly different about the new layout except that the column is much narrower, and there are several threaded colums in the TOC instead of one long column, and the chapter titles don't have page numbers (but all other entries do have page numbers.)

Peter,
Thanks for your reply. Between the page number and the entry is an en-space.
I started with these settings:
I then changed the left aligned tab to a right aligned tab:
But still no luck.
