Import without Adobe Tagged text files linked styles

I have several weekly publications that have a lot of data where the link to all the files in text format that contains the Adobe tag have suddenly, paragraph styles and character styles stripped on hoisted.  I am aware of the issue of the default settings, where you uncheck everything and ensure that styles of character is none, and that doesn't seem to be the issue. More precisely

  • Work in CS 5 (Version 7.0.4)
  • Files in text format that contains the Adobe tag are exported from Excel spreadsheets
  • InDesign documents have links to the files in the referenced text in Adobe format, and updated link is used inside InDesign update the text when the file is exported from the spreadsheet.
  • When publications are open on my workstation, all files related to the Adobe Tagged text files are not imported properly, they return to the standard paragraph style.
  • These aren't new documents that I design or new text files containing the Adobe tag, this is part of a production process that has worked without problem for years.
  • The same documents are open on another post work, and put up-to-date used links, they come in perfectly, so it doesn't seem to be a document or file corruption problem, but a problem with my environment, or settings ID.
  • This isn't a specific document or file, it's every single document that has a link to a text file that contains the Adobe tag (and we have many, I tried several!)
  • I opened the text file in the text editor to check, but as I said: same document, the same files, I'm the only person who cannot be updated without stripping on styles.

Thank you! Nancy

Hi Nancy,.

It is worth noting that you point out that you have configured your desktop to create links when placing text and spreadsheet files. This means that you don't him aren't placing, you simply update the links, right? Is that mean that you saw as not this window in a while?

Suggestions only I can think of are:

(1) place a file tagged text (Show Import Options) checked to you reassure remove text formatting is not enabled by default on your workstation

or

(2) if the machine everyone behaves properly, your InDesign installation may be borked. First try to replace your preferences; If this does not work, reinstall.

Of course there is always

(3) I hope someone who knows more about text InDesign containing the tag appears and records in your thread.

Edit: Okay, maybe Peter will exercise option no. 3 above.

  • Import data from the text file to open the Document

    This should seem simple, but I can't find a way to import a text file delimited to tab automatically on opening the document.  I can open my form fill pdf document, select Forms > more form Options > data management > Import Data > change the bottom right "Text (*.txt) files" file type, select the file, then import with no problems.  I can't find a way to do this automatically when the document opens.  I know a *.fdf file will do, but my data are in a tab delimited text file.  If this is not possible, is there a program or a script that will convert *.txt to import *.fdf?  Thanks for your time.  Steve

    Have you looked at using custom JavaScript?

  • Tag text - how to get tabs

    I use Filemaker to generate a tagged text file. I can't find the correct tags for a tab character and a tab on the right.

    Quark, it was < \#9 > and < \t >, but when I look at the text in InDesign that contains the tag, the tabs do not appear as a tag in their own right. Any ideas? Or a different tack, does anyone know how to insert a 'leg' in a Filemaker calculation?

    Thank you

    I don't know if this helps you, but if you select any character in InDesign and go in the Info Panel (window > info or press F8) it will show the unicode character. A tabulation of withdrawal right is 0 x 8 unicode is then 0 x 0008

  • [LIKE, CS4] Import and export text file that contains the tag: encoding problem

    Hello

    I have a script that exports a text selection into a temporary folder (Unicode) text file with label. This file is then loaded in a variable AS and transformed line-by-line for some changes to the text. Subsequently a new text file with the modified content is written.

    Up to CS2 (and 10.4 PPC) this script worked like a charm. He stopped working with the new system and Intel. Meanwhile, I discovered that it must have something to do with encoding problems. «Everything in the old writing with ' as a unicode text "forced a mistake (since AS 2 each text is processed as UTF - 16), so I changed these lines to ' as text '.»

    In addition, I realized, that InDesign exports to tag text Unicode like UTF-16 (little endian), but importing tagged text to UTF-16BE (big-endian). "As variables and" write iconv ' command uses MACROMAN, so I added a few conversions with ""and it worked.

    Unfortunately the last conversion of MACROMA in UTF-16BE converts all spaces in the output string en normal spaces.

    I am therefore a little at my end of the problem. Can someone help me please?

    See you soon

    The problem is not as long as ID's export is little-endian - someone ' one has not heard of Intel chips - but it does not add a byte order mark. If you add a BOM, the problem should go away. Here's how you can add a Bill adapted to an exported file to tag:

    the fileRef value (open for access file "Macintosh HD:Users:shane:Desktop: Untitled - 16.txt" with write permission)

    the value of x to read fileRef

    Set x to character id {711, 731} & x - add THE BOM

    write x to fileRef starting with 0

    FileRef close access

    Then you can read it using "text Unicode", and it should also cross-platform very well.

    And stop putting your file read/write inside blocks Finder - is not the business of the Finder.

    Hello

    I've never seen such a method. I think you will find that you must simply recreate your dilemma inside Captivate project and forget all means of import.

    The only thing that comes to mind would be to import the project dilemma in PowerPoint. (Assuming that such a thing exists) then import the PPT in Captivate. But you wouldn't be able to make everything connect.

  • Handling former projects where the xml-text-files have been imported through the Panel of the chain.

    Hello Adobe support team,

    We're going to go from the Adobe flash professional CS 6 to animate CC and we have already purchased licenses for our developer team. In all our former software projects, we have imported and exported text to the screen (xml_files) through the string table to assign the ID. It was very uncomfortable for us, because all our projects are multilingual. Now, we read in the animate using the channel Panel is obsolete with CC to animate.

    Well, it is not entirely related to the APEX.

    It's table how external is created:

    create the table u_x

    (rowline varchar2 (255))

    EXTERNAL ORGANIZATION

    (

    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER

    DIRECTORY by DEFAULT ext_tab <-this is a dir command I created

    access settings

    (

    records delimited by newline

    notrim fields

    )

    LOCATION ("aaa.txt")

    )

    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;

    on the first line of the aaa.text (it's a report), it shows something like:

    Sat Dec 29                                                                Page 1

    but when I select * from u_x, the result is:

    Sat Dec 29 Page 1

    all them above is done in the workshop sql command /sql APEX 4.2.1 (db 10.2.0.5)

    Is it possible to preserve the spaces between "29" and "Page"?

    (the result compressed all the in-between spaces instead of 1).

    I think that the ideal way is to invoke Notepad to the customer to open the text file of the server.

    in any case to generate the link?

    Thank you

    John

    Finally, he made inside:

    Application Builder > application 110 > Page 8 > report attributes > column attributes

    with:

    Column formatting

    CSS class:

    CSS style: white-space: pre; do-family: monospace;

    If do in the header of the region, have to use this report template: default: HTML (Standard) \\u

    Thanks for your help!

    BTW, used classic report

  • Why the FF fix the links click on a text file, but IE10 works fine?

    I'm composing a text file LibreOffice prepare for the publication of an e-book. In this text I incorporated hyperlinks to locations on the map Icelanders for the development system. I replaced these links with Google URL shortener for easy management and use.

    When I test the links with FF as the default browser on this laptop under Win8/64, FF tries to open the pages of the card but stalls with no image displayed. In IE10, however, they work very well. These links also work on FF or IE on Windows 7/64 on my desktop.

    In addition, when I click on the same link listed in my account Google shortened the list of URLS, it works in both FF and IE on this same laptop - only when the user clicks on the link in the doc file. fact FF fail to open the page target card. This is the case if the OL WRITE option 'Ctrl + click' or simply 'click' is specified.

    Doc file: LibreOffice 4.1.x with hyperlinks embedded URL "googleized", usually a clickable link to graphic character after the place agreed.

    There is a work around:

    Export your IE Favorites to an HTML file, and then import it into Firefox. If you have questions more do not hesitate to ask.

  • Import data from text file of control of the ring.

    Is it possible to import data to a text ring with labview control.

    I have several definitions of register in the ring controls, but manual entry would take a lot of time.

    Was wondering if there was more automatic way, I could read the values from a file.

    Thank you

    Jim

    Using the first method gives you the ability to extend such that each column specifies a control of the ring if you need fill the multiple rings.

    This example assumes that all of the three rings contain the same number of elements. If this isn't the case, you will need to create a Subvi, which removes the empty elements. [Edit - create a text file that contains a column for each ring, separated by a tab character.]

  • Write array of strings in the text file delimited by tabs without Report Generation Toolkit

    I find that writing in the File.vi worksheet does not Append REAL mode.  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/D1629D863F0442CC86256A0200558A15

    That url describes a workaround solution is to first create a file in Excel, save and then writing adds to it.  This is something that users of my compiled application will simply not do.

    Writing File.vi measure generates tab limited text files but only takes some input signals.

    I would take my array of strings and simply write that in a limited file tab.  Is there really no way to go in LabVIEW without spending $500 one another?

    * original title - file details *.

    Hello

    Could you explain what is exactly? What do you mean by off the screen?

    According to my way of thinking, you want to export the file details of all your files on your HARD drive to an excel file or a txt file. If I'm right in this case, it is not possible to export the details of each & every file in the excel sheet.
