Integration outside, automatic formatting of files in IND.

Hi all!


Let me give you a few horizons:


I am compiling a report of a group. It will be long. Unfortunately, I already know that I will receive all the support I need to assemble this report. Also: due to lack of resources and time, I'll most likely be the only person with InDesign and knowledge on how to use it.


I need to integrate pieces that other people have written in this report. Rather than going through each room and their formatting one by one by one... I was wondering if there was a way I could have people submitting work 'code' their documents so that InDesign can somehow recognize these codes and put them properly shaped.


Example: in HTML, just like implies < b > "BOLD" is there some type of textual notation that people can put in their document in .doc or .txt format to have the InDesign format specifically? I don't know if there is etiquette. Maybe there's something similar. Perhaps there is nothing. I am very interested to hear about what may be available, so whatever it is.


Thank you!

Good luck with that.

InDesign is able to read tags in imported files doc and mapping to internal styles in your document (see option import during the installation) and can even use external labels (is properly formatted as text referenced to InDesing or use GREP to search for and replace it with a style) in text or XML files to automate the formatting, but oout him in the real world we rarely see the authors who are able to hold up their end of the contract or a style of markup, for most developers of doc long use the scripts or individual applications of find/replace to search for text in shape, they want to keep and assign a style to it , and then delete the replacements the and assign a default paragraph for the rest style.

  • Install Windows 8 automatically formats the hard drive? If this isn't the case, I should format it FAT or NTFS drive before installing Win/8?

    Install Windows 8 automatically formats the hard drive?  If this isn't the case, I should format it FAT or NTFS drive before installing Win/8?

    No, this isn't format the hard drive, what's done is put your existing version of Windows in a folder called "windows.old", it indeed erases old files of version and folders, leaving free space on the existing partition "NTFS" (formerly ocupied by your previous version of windows) in which is installed Windows 8.

    And "NTFS" is the only file system that supports Windows 8.

  • Safari 10 not not automatically opening PDF files

    Yes, I have the box checked in the preferences to automatically open reliable files after downloading. I have tried many different websites PDF files now, and none of them does not open automatically.

    I tried to delete the preferences of Safari, but that did not help.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    For security reasons, I don't have Safari 10: preferences: general Panel: Open Safe files after downloading verified. It has nothing to do with the opening of PDF documents in the browser, as it is the function of the OS X Internet plugin default to this end, or the option in Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF plug-in.

    Plug-in Adobe Reader is disabled by default in the 10 Safari: preferences: Security Panel: Internet Plug-ins. You will need to activate it via the plugin settings - if you use it, but with a WARNING WARNING like Safari 10 notes that there are security issues that you can, or perhaps are not willing to accept.

    With Adobe Reader Plug - in disabled Internet, 10 Safari automatically opens a PDF Web site in the browser. There are no preferences special setting to enable this default behavior.

  • Automatically read the file next to the folder

    HI I'm reading in the file and the attached vi allows to calculate the area under the curve.  everything works, except that I would like the feature to automatically select the file "next" or "previous file" with out having to reopen the dialogue of the user.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not watching your vi but attached is a way to navigate to the file preceding and following.  You will need to add some range test (if the file is the first or the last in his repertoire).

  • A chart of the wave axis cannot change automatic formatting

    See attached photo and vi. I can change the other two y-axis floating-point, but I can't change the "acceleration x, y, z" automatic formatting floating-point; whenever I click on floating point, the highlight goes to the automatic formatting.

    Now why is - it a wrong setting somewhere?

    Hello Sunflower2772,

    I have opened your LabVIEW 8.6 VI and LabVIEW 2009 and could see the same behavior in both versions.

    After that, I tried a few things:

    -J' deleted all other scales except for the "acceleration x, y, z", but it was always the same.

    -J' duplicated "acceleration x, y, z" scale, so now there are two scales - "acceleration x, y, z" and "x, y, z 2" acceleration. I went all but 1 of the plots to use "acceleration x, y, z 2. The result was always the same.

    It's really strange behavior, it seems to me that it might be a bug. You have the exact steps to reproduce this problem?

    In any case, I managed to get a work around. I have reproduced this scale by right-clicking the axis ' uprising due to frost, roll, pitch "and select"Duplicate scale", using one of the normal rat"Heave, roll, pitch. This duplicate scale can be assigned to the individual parcels again, and the display format is not 'fixed' to the AutoFormat option.

    Please try and let me know how it goes.

  • Windows Explorer for Windows 7 - How to stop automatically sort my files

    I have Windows 7.  Explorer Windows automatically sorts my files in each folder.  I put in "sort by..." Name ', so for now he is sorting alphabetically, but no matter what I put in 'Grading', it does it automatically.  But I want to be able to move the files to the folder in different orders, and then once I'm satisfied with the order, then I can change the name of each file and then choose to classify them alphabetically or otherwise.

    For example, this is useful for a folder full of photos.  Let's say I have a folder with 50 photos in there of holiday, and I would like to re - order these photos, but I want to play visually with different orders until I have decide to order, I like most.  So I want to move each file/photo until I like the Decree.  To do this, I would open this particular folder in Windows Explorer, then select the "Large icons" view and then moving the photos until I like order.  And then once I have pictures in the order I want, then I would like to rename each picture (1, 2, 3, etc.) and then Windows Explorer say "sort by...» Nu.  That's how it was on my old computer, but I got XP and now I have Windows 7, but I can't imagine that Windows 7 would not let me do the same thing.  But the way it works for me now, Windows Explorer comes automatically orders/sorts my files depending on the option "sort by" I chose.  So if I change the name of the files (from 'Photo #25' to ' Photo #10 "'), it automatically goes this photo between" Photo #09 "and" Photo #11 ".»»  And if I try to move 'Photo #10' next to say "#37 picture"to see how they look next to each other, it won't let me. "

    so... Is it possible to have Windows Explorer "NOT" sort my files until I have to say?

    Thank you very much!

    See auto arrange links below - it is possible to disable.

    Microsoft has deliberately removed the ability to turn off the auto arrange. Microsoft's response:

    Can I manually organize files in folders?

    Unfortunately when Microsoft Windows Explorer, they made some pretty horrible decisions - which many people complained. There are a lot of other managers of files available, as well free and for a price. One of them might be easier to use and the characteristics you want, here is a list of the most that are available:

    How to fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane
    See the bottom of this post for help with the bug of scrolling in the left pane.

    The most important features that need to be returned to Windows Explorer:

    (1) the option to turn off the auto arrange.

    (2) fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane: If you view a folder and expand in the left pane to display its subfolders, the folder is annoyingly prefer to the bottom of the component causing the subfolders do not appear, making it difficult to work with.

    (3) when several files are selected they should stay selected when changing the sort order (ex: name of size). Maintenance of the files selected in the sort should be a requirement, and this feature should not have been removed.

    (4) the option to remember the view settings of each folder (Recalling the positions and sizes of the individual folder window).

    (5) the option to remove 'Complete the selection of lines' to see in detail. "Selection of whole lines" is very annoying when the file is complete and has no empty space to click on. Also, when dragging / delete the file to another folder - if you release the on the line of a subfolder or file de.exe/.zip/.rar 'selection of whole lines' causes the file to be moved in the subfolder ou.exe/.zip/.rar instead file the file provided.

    (6) a search engine with all the advanced search options. No required syntax.

    (7) the option to always display free disk size space and record on the State and/or the details pane toolbar. Also always automatically show the size of the selected files (when several files are selected it will not show the total size).

    (8) the ability to scroll the window/pane mouse is with the mouse wheel, even if this window/pane is not selected.

    Inform you want Windows explorers returned Microsoft functions:

    Given that many people seem to agree that some or all of the changes made to Windows Explorer were actually less friendly user, you can go to the Windows 7 comments page and (politely) to let them know your suggestions to improve:

    http://mymfe.Microsoft.com/Windows%207/feedback.aspx?formid=195

    Note: do not have the message that is too long, there is a size limit for your message, even if page does not tell you on this subject. Also, do not just copy and paste from the list above - they'll think that the same person is repeatedly submit comments.

    Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

    After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page.

    A solution that worked for the restoration of some features.

    (1) install the free classic Shell. It's free, completely customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer, rather than a full blown replacement. Personally, I did not fit the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
    (2) restart the computer.
    (3) launch Windows Explorer and turn on "Always show Menus" (it's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you want).
    (4) make a right click on the menu bar and turn in the "Classic Explorer bar. This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
    5) go to the configuration and from there you can edit things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even go more retro and hit return to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders).
    (6) set the parameters of other institutions. I have so that the bit "more details" in the dialogues of copy is automatically extended, I checked the option "display free space and size of the file in the status bar" (no need to right click on the drive to see how much space is left), personally, I decided to stay with the "overwrite file" dialog box Windows 7 style (the default is the simplest dialogue style Vista/XP) , and I went for the Windows Vista style folders display that looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but get rid of the horrible jump.

    After that, you can activate the toolbar and menus walk back to explore if you wish. Explorer Windows seems largely the same, but folders is no longer jumping around.

    Now if only MS allows to code correctly so that we don't have to mess with third-party applications to get Windows actually works...

  • ScriptUI: get the dimensions of the container using the automatic formatting?

    No there is no way to get the dimensions of a ScriptUI container that uses the automatic formatting?  What container root (Panel or window)?  I'm writing a presentation for a group and I would like to react to the dimensions of the window or Panel, as it is resized, but it seems that this info is still not defined when the automatic formatting is used for containers of the ancestor.  No there is no way to know what size of the containers of the ancestor is without write handlers of layout custom for each of them?

    I think that it is either

    .size
    

    or

    .bounds

    The current solution - use SQL Developer 3.2.20.09 instead.

    The links that reference you are dated, and one (in fact for JDeveloper) predates the existence of SQL Developer.  Auto-recharge works fine for me, both for Notepad and Notepad ++.  Given that it also works for you with the 3.2.2 version, I can't that assume your user for 4.0.2 settings got corrupted somehow.  If you have migrated the 3.2.20.09.87 or any other rejection of some, I recommend...

    1. exit SQL Developer

    2. delete or rename %APPDATA%\SQL Developer\system4.0.2.15.21

    3. remember that Windows by default, considers the part folder AppData C:\Users\\AppData to be hidden.

    4. start SQL Developer and jump in front of all the guests on the migration of user settings.

    Well, it's not entirely "automagical", maybe someone knows better as well.

    1. you create nested Style special Para with the line Style.

    2. with grep \A[^\r]+ find all paragraphs in your text boxes and apply your new paragraph Style.

  • syntax to enable AUTOMATIC backup for file server settings

    automatic backup will take place of the control file and SPFILE. also whenever you have a backup statement in your RMAN script (e.g. database backup more archive), an automatic backup will be generated.
