Stuck in the H * ll IDCS4 Table - please help
I am working on updating a catalogue of spare parts for my company (800 + pages) and it's my first big project using IDCS4. We have separated each section in a document (most between 50 and 80 pages, but a couple of the sections are 100 + pages).
Due to the nature of the project, I tried to make my documents as flexible as possible. In the coming years we will be inserting new information at different locations in the catalog, we start to wear new items. Because of this possibility, the current information for each section are placed in a single table that runs off the first page through the last page of this document.
The problem, I keep turning, is that the rows of the table for the different parts of the same document must be formatted differently to get a consistent look. There are a few parts that have additional information required the split or merge cells in a table.
Here are a few questions I met:
* When I try to shift + drag a cell border, ID does not allow me to slide it past the threshold of another cell in the line above or below. For example, I have a 3-inch cell in row 2 of my paper starting at 0 "and ends at 3". Further down to line 7, I divided the line 3 "vertically. Half right of the divided cell has been merged to the adjacent cell (right). When I try to drag the left of this cell to the left wall, ID doesn't let me drag them beyond the mark 3 "on the rule (in fact, it stops about 1/16" for short). Is it possible to replace this and freely drag the cell wall at any size, I want to be?
* My other question is trying to paste the lines in a document of identity to the other. Occasionally, ID allows me to do, but it plays hell with my formatting when it does. Most of the time, even when the lines appear to be straight or very close the same dimensions, the function paste is not available after cut or copy the lines in the older document.
Can anyone provide advice and solutions or even explain that I'm going about this all wrong, or I've met an inherent weakness of the InDesign features. I understand that an application that does every thing you'll ever want or need isn't there, but it seems that it is these things I want or have the most need that ID refuses to do.
Thanks in advance!

I don't see anything here that wouldn't work as ordinary tabulated text (although you may have to make some changes to the way that lists of two product lines are constructed). You can use one image per page, the image at the beginning of every description of anchor and if you have CS4 running on Smart Text reflow (or look at the plugins to InTools.com).
If you delete a product, the others would have just straight up. If you need to add, just paste and foillowing products would be routed down and text reflow new Smart pages would be added (or old pages deleted if empty) automatically.
For ads, I would create a paragraph nested style. The main style should be Arial 8 pt (or other). Add a style of character for 10 points and the other for the offset base line if you really think that you need (I have not, but I think it's from text aligned at the top in the table cells). Nest style 10 pt through 2 tablets, then baseline offset if really necessary until a forced line break. the second line in the lists of two lines should be added at the end of the list and moved to the second line using the forced line break. Set a left indent overall to push the second Inland line and a first line negative indent to move the numbers oout to the left and set the tab stops.
I don't do a lot of work to catalog, so have not played with the plugins, but I think they would be a big advantage if your information is stored in a database.

Hi, I want to display the number of success / testing failed in the Testtand of xml report, please help me.
Later, my requirement is that I should be able to view the number of test / has not passed in the header of the report too.
I have attached a sequence to give you an idea of how to get the number of results (I don't check it works ), I used 'SequenceFilePostResultListEntry' callback to calculate the number of results.
and the number of results is passed to the 'ModifyReportHeader' through Globals files, where you can edit the XML file to display in the Repot (follow the link in my previous post).
Hope this helps

I am trying to create new users on my computer windows 8 but it dosent open, I get a message "the service user profile service has no logon. User profile cannot be loaded. "and new users are not created in the registry, that is it please help
I had the same problem. Get the «user profile service has no user of logan...» "I tried everything I found online and nothing has worked. Then I reinforced to the back and looked at the whole picture. It turns out that it wasn't a computer after all problem but a question of the user. Under folder C:/users/default in the end I managed to delete all subfolders except appdata. So when you went to create a new user he could not find the correct files to copy to the new profile to store information in. To ensure that I had a correct records back into the C:/users/default folder, I went on another computer and just copy paste the new default folder from another computer in the folder users on my computer and erased mine. Of course I could create my comments and new users account once again. Finally. -
the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application. Why? Please help me!

Had to reinstall my CS3 because of faulty hard drive. It does not accept my serial number as it says it is already used the maximum number of activations and says I should turn off. I can't as the hard disk failed! Please help.
Have already tried to contact Adobe and they told me to reinstall the program. I did this and the same issue. It's crazy. I can not turn off something that I did not more...
Thank you.
No - I had, of course, tried all these things. Finally, I had someone (after several days) on the personal chat group that could fix and it did it in a few minutes. Too bad that nobody else seemed to be able to do. Adobe is very soft.
I can't thank enough the other person - it was amazing.
