Make multiple columns while placing text in InDesign CC 2015

I used to be able to drag all by placing a text file and press the right arrow key before releasing the mouse to create multiple columns within a text. Which seems more to work in InDesign CC 2015.

Is this a bug or Adobe changed the way it works?

I just tested in CC 2015 and CS6.

What works is when you slide on a block of empty text with the text tool, by pressing the right arrow key divides the image into two columns. (This works also when creating other images).

In both versions of InDesign, when you place a text file or Word, this shortcut does not work.

We must therefore create first part of two columns of text, then place the text in the frame.

  • TaggedText - how to apply while placing text frame

    Hello

    I wonder how I can make use of TaggedText, I have in a Javascript string (mixed, 'normal' characters and TaggedText) to be placed in a block of text layout.

    I need to somehow pass on a filter of TaggedText before my text and then turn off the filter?

    Please help on!

    Thank you in advance,

    Do you mean, your JS contains a string like

    var a = ' Hello everyone. ';

    and you want ID to automatically analyze the tags? It is not possible; at least, not the way you think. Analysis of referenced text happens on import ("offering") of a file - I don't think there's a way to trick the ID into thinking it's reading a file.

    You can, of course, simply save the string in a file and place - I've never tried, but I will ask ID will have no problem with that.

    An alternative is to write your string in a text block "like what" and the use of scripts to find the tags and replace them with the appropriate formatting.

    Yes, a SQLite database will persist between battery pulls.  The database is registered either to internal MEM or removable media (not the device memory), depending on which is available on your device.

    In general, its not considered a best practice to remove your table as soon as it is empty and re - create it again when you want to add data.  This adds extra overhead fresh for the final, delete and insert first for a given table.  Instead, define and finalize your drawing before you create your table.  Once created, review the static schema.

    That being said, for development purposes, it may be easier to provide an easy way to drop your tables while you develop your schema.

  • Multiple lines in a text box

    I have InDesign CS5, and since this is my first experience with this type of program, I'm a real newbie.

    I have a problem with making multiple lines in a text box.  Everything works fine when I type in my first line of text.  If I type "Enter/Return" to create a second line of text, the cursor disappears and automatically creates an icon to insert additional text into a new text box.  I am at a loss to know what to do.  I tried to adjust the leader and who does not either.

    Any suggestions?  I am a student and taking a class in this program and I am currently unable to finish an assignment because it does not work.  As a side note, it also happens in PhotoShop CS5.

    I'm sorry for the issue of such a beginner, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    InDesign think you type 'Enter', the key on the numeric keypad, which is actually insert column break. Not the same thing as "Return","the key to the right of the 'L '.

    You are on a laptop? Try the Fn or Numlock?

    If it isn't happening, so can be confusing the BIOS of your machine and check again there is not an update of the bios. Again, you can bypass with Edit > keyboard shortcuts and will area of product: Menu Type and the removal of the Insert a Break character: column break.

  • Update multiple columns from multiple tables in a single UPDATE request

    Hello

    I'm trying to figure if I'm heading in the right direction.

    I want to update multiple columns from multiple tables in a single UPDATE request. Also, I would like to update multiple columns in a table from the tables.

    Scenario 1

    UPDATE Table2, Table 3
    SET T2.Column1 = T1.Column1 
    ,T2.Column2 = T1.Column2
    ,T3.Column2 = T1.Column2
    FROM Table1 T1, Table2 T2, Table3 T3
    WHERE T1.id = T2.id
    and T1.id = T3.id
    
    

    Scenario 2

    UPDATE Table3
    SET T3.Column1 = T1.Column1 
    T3.Column2 = T1.Column2
    ,T3.Column3 = T2.Column3
    ,T3.Column4 = T2.Column4
    FROM Table1 T1, Table2 T2, Table3 T3
    WHERE T3.id = T1.id
    and T3.id = T2.id
    
    

    Hello

    For scenario 1, you must write separate instructions UPDATE table2 and table3.

    To guard against someone else change one of these tables while you act so you can copy all relevant data in a global temporary table and update this global temporary table table3.

    ENGAGE only when two tables have been changed.

    You can write a procedure or an INSTEAD OF trigger to do all this.

    For scenario 2, you can reference many tables that you need when new table3.  It might be more efficient and simpler to use the MERGER rather than UPDATED.  For example:

    MERGE INTO table3 dst

    WITH THE HELP OF)

    SELECT t1.id

    t1.column1

    t1.column2

    t2.column3

    t2.column4

    FROM table1 t1

    JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.id = t2.id

    )             src

    WE (dst.id = src_id

    WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE

    SET dst.column1 = src.column1

    dst.column2 = src.column2,

    dst.column3 = src.column3,

    dst.column4 = src.column4,

    ;

  • Placing text - when I try to Place text nothing happens

    I'm just placing the text in an InDesign document. When I do file-Place, the menu "place" flashes on the screen and then disappears and nothing happens, so I'm not able to place the text in InDesign. There is no problem with other Word files. It is only with some Word files that it is happening. It would be a problem with the word files that I have of this particular person? Maybe there are some parameters on the word files which are not accepted by InDesign "file-Place"? Or is it a setting on InDesign that causes menu 'place' of flash and disappear?

    Thank you.

    If it's just with some Word files, try to open them in Word and do a backup with respect. RTF or. DOC or. DOCX. Having resaved the file, try again at the file > place the document.

  • Problem with Sinhalese and Tamil text in InDesign

    I have a text sent to me to Sri Lanka in Microsoft word - Tamil (Arial Unicode MS) and the Sinhalese (Iskoola Pota). In the Microsoft Word document, they appear correctly.

    I need to transfer this text in Adobe InDesign. When I do a direct cut and paste, the characters for both languages are distorted with some characters jumping in front of the other (see image below).

    What I tried to do

    • I tried to cut and paste into Notepad and then insert it into the ID, but the same thing happens. I also made sure that I had selected the appropriate fonts described above in ID.
    • I also have Unicode installed in my computer and have installed the appropriate fonts - http://www.locallanguages.lk/
    • I made a PDF from Word and then placed in ID but I am working on a very public screen with hundreds of words in three languages (Sinhala, Tamil and English) which vary in sizes, so I need to be able to adjust the size, etc..  My absolute last resort would be to do this for each section of the screen, but it will be extremely laborious.

    My question is

    Is there a way to transfer Sinhalese and Tamil Microsoft Word text in InDesign and for the characters to stay as they are in Word?

    You better put the Word doc (using the file-> Place), but this probably isn't the issue here.

    What you need to activate is the universal composer. If you use a new version of InDesign (CS6 or CC) then you will find in the menu of the Justification of your paragraph style or the properties of the paragraph Panel dialog box or a few other places. If you use CS5.5 or an earlier version, you need a script or plugin to turn it on, because it was a feature 'hidden' at the time.

  • CSS3 multiple columns and Internet Exploder

    I have developed a web page that needs a two column layout and has decided to use CSS3 to describe the columns: very simple:

    {.twocol}

    border-style: solid;

    border width: 7px;

    border-color: #0476ac;

    -webkit-border-radius: 20px;

    -moz-border-radius: 20px;

    border-radius: 20px;

    -moz-column-count: 2;

    -moz-column-gap: 20px;

    -webkit-column-count: 2;

    -webkit-column-gap: 20px;

    number of columns: 2;

    column interval: 20px;

    padding: 10px;

    height: 300px;

    }

    CSS bold described the two-column layout that I want.

    Looked in Internet Exploiter version 9 and it failed. And, since the text was missing I did the 'old skool' method:

    {.colLeft}

    Width: 410px;

    }

    {.colRight}

    Width: 410px;

    float: right;

    }

    Then in HTML:

    < section class = "twocol" >

    < div class = "colRight" >

    < p > right column of things comes here < /p >

    < / div >

    < div class = "colLeft" >

    Insert here the stuff left column < p > < /p >

    < / div >

    < / section >

    I have commented things in "BOLD" in my style sheet.

    Here's my question:

    Since I'm on the HTML5 Shiv, shouldn't that have created the support for multiple columns in CSS3 declarations or is it simply too complex?

    HTML5 Shiv, as its name suggests, is strictly for the support of HTML5 tags in pre - IE9.  It will not help you with CSS level 3.

  • [8i &amp; 10g XE] How to compare a column with the text of a column with numbers

    This is probably a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer. I tried variations on use to_number to_char and interpreters, all nothing will do.

    The real problem is that I have a table with a column of numbers in a database 8i (datatype = NUMBER (3)) and a column with the text (datatype = CHAR (3)), and I need to compare two values.

    This table has thousands of lines, but here's an example of the data in these two columns:
    TXT     CHR
    -----------
    001     1
    001     2
    002     2
    XXX     1
    003     3
    What I want to do is select the lines where the TXT and CHR VALUES do not match, then it would be (given my example):
    TXT     CHR
    -----------
    001     2
    XXX     1
    But, I'm having difficulties in comparing two columns, because they are not the same type of data.

    I tried to work on a simplified version of the problem in the 8i database both my 10g XE database:
    SELECT     *
    FROM     (
         SELECT     1.000               AS nbr
         ,     TO_CHAR(1.000,'000')     AS txt
         ,     CAST('001' AS CHAR(3))     AS chr
         FROM     dual
         )
    WHERE     txt = chr
    ;
    But this also returns any line, and it isn't even the "XXX" in the text column to treat in this example.

    Can someone help me understand what it is that I'm missing?

    Thank you!

    Try:

    TO_CHAR (1.000, 'FM000')
    

    By default, TO_CHAR leaves place the beginning of the string to a sign less, in which case he should ever one, TO_CHAR (1,000, '000') returns makes 4 characters, not 3. "FM" in the format said TO_CHAR do not add a space.

    If it does not, after the release of DUMP (txt) for the few lines that you can't match, so that we can see exactly what is in them.

        }
    
        public void setField20(String field20) {
            this.field20 = field20;
        }
    }
    

    Then you can use it to store data in you original code

    public static void bulkLoad(NamedCache cache, Connection conn)
        {
        Statement s;
        ResultSet rs;
    
        try
            {
            s = conn.createStatement();
            String sql = "select key, value, value2, " +
                    "value3, value4, value5, value6, " +
                    "value7, value8, value9, value10 " +
                    "value11, value12, value13, value14, " +
                    "value15, value16, value17, value18, " +
                    "value19, value120 from table";
    
            rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
            while (rs.next())
                {
                Integer key   = new Integer(rs.getInt(1));
                Data data = new Data();
                data.setField1(rs.getString(2));
                data.setField2(rs.getString(3));
                data.setField3(rs.getString(4));
                data.setField4(rs.getString(5));
                data.setField5(rs.getString(6));
                data.setField6(rs.getString(7));
                data.setField7(rs.getString(8));
                data.setField8(rs.getString(9));
                data.setField9(rs.getString(10));
                data.setField10(rs.getString(11));
                data.setField11(rs.getString(12));
                data.setField12(rs.getString(13));
                data.setField13(rs.getString(14));
                data.setField14(rs.getString(15));
                data.setField15(rs.getString(16));
                data.setField16(rs.getString(17));
                data.setField17(rs.getString(18));
                data.setField18(rs.getString(19));
                data.setField19(rs.getString(20));
                data.setField20(rs.getString(21));
                cache.put(key, data);
                }
            ...
            }
        catch (SQLException e)
            {...}
        }    
    

    Of course your data object would need the appropriate field names and you will have no channels for all types. It must also implement equals and hashCode and ideally PortableObject.
