Tables with decimal tabs

I want to use the decimal tab in my paintings, but they will line up not using optical kerning. I want to use optical because there is a better fit with my fonts but I am for now am stuck using measures. On this system (from the client), I'm also stuck with CS3 OSX. Any thoughts?

I agree. Looks like the decimal tab can not see inside text variables to find the decimal object. This looks like a logical feature upgrade if you want to submit to Adobe - the behavior you're seeing is certainly not a behavior that anyone would want to. Probably, it is quite rare and does not appear in product testing.

In the meantime, I think you have two ways to go.

One would be to simply line up the columns to the right and use the metric kerning instead of optics on the cells in a table. Create a paragraph style and apply it to each column.

The other would be to find a way to convert the numbers 'live text, "assuming that the document has no need to keep them in the variable format (for future automatic updates, for example). Then they line up on the decimal point. This could be done using a script (which can do all at the same time, but requires knowledge of scripting), or you can assign yourself a keyboard shortcut for "find the next thing in the dialog box search GREP" (like GREP can find variable), and another for "convert variable to the text", then spend a quiet minutes by alternately pressing the keys.

There may be an easier solution, but I can't think of one right now.

  • Need help with decimal tabs?

    Hello

    It drives me crazy.

    I did it in earlier versions of Indesign.

    I use CS4.

    I need to use a tab to align all prices on this page.

    But nothing I've tried works.

    I read the help files, but they say just do a decimal tab, and the numbers will be moving there.

    No details or step by step instructions.

    I guess I need someone to hold my hand. Laughing out loud

    When I create a decimal tab and select the type with the number inside line and tab press the line disappears, or it moves the number to the following line, flush left.

    Nothing that I will not get it to move the decimal to the tab.

    Any help appreciated...

  • How to make the column in the table with the formula

    Hi all..
    This is my class
    public class MyNumber{
         private int num;
    
         public int getNum(){
              return num;
         }
    
         public void setNum( int num){
              this.num = num;
         }
    }
    Consider that designing a table with FXML Editor (Builder scene in this case)
    and here are some of my codes
    private TableView tab;
    private TableColumn<MyNumber, Integer> tabColInput;
    private TableColumn tabColOutput;
    
    tab.setEditable(true);
    tabColInput.setEditable(true);
    
    tabColInput.setCellValueFactory( new PropertyValueFactory<Person,Integer>("num") );
    tabColInput.setCellFactory(TextFieldTableCell.forTableColumn());
    tabColInput.setOnEditCommit(

        }
    );
    Problem:
    I want to tabColOutput to always show the result for tabColInput multiplied by 2

    for example:
    When I change a line in tabColInput 10, tabColOutput shows 20
    When I change a line in tabColInput to 3, tabColOutput show 6

    Could someone advice me how do?

    PS: I'm not native English, so I'm sorry if I tell it fake ^^

    You're up-to-date data are probably not ObservableValues as properties, so the TableView cannot update dynamically as modification of data items.

  • creating user, visible tables on the tab tables sqldeveloper

    Hi all

    I want to create a user who can only select a schema from a prisoner by one user.


    Create user test identified by Test1ng;

    Grant select on a.table1 to test;

    The new user will use sqldeveloper and needs the tables is visible in the tab tables, but after completing the steps above test user when using sqldeveloper will see all the tables in the tab tables.

    Is there way to grant select test user on the tables in the diagram with the visible tables during the user test uses sqldeveloper?

    Thanks in advance

    >

    Hello Hans,.

    as a test user, I am able to select the table using the prefix as below
    Select * from a.account;

    Well, then it is a problem of configuration of SQL Developer - maybe just restart it? Nothing of such a 'reboot' ;)

  • Fun with numbers &amp; tabs

    Hello

    I have a really hard time with tabs today.

    I have created a simple table of contents for a brochure and want to have a list with the page numbers, followed by the description of the page. (see attached image).

    Screen shot 2011-10-17 at 7.29.13 PM.png

    I want to have the right alignment numbers and descriptions of the left page. I know how to do this with numbered lists, but who will not allow me to enter my own numbers. I just want to do it manually with tabs. I would also like to avoid using a table (which will be my last resort).

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Without going into the tables of characteristics content,... Character Styles and paragraph Styles everything that could help with this, here's how to do it simply and manually.

    Set your type with a tab before and after page numbers (see screenshot below)

    Select all of your text

    Open the tab panel

    Click the rule of the tab panel where you want the page number and chat text align to. This will outline the tab for each job stops.

    Select the tab stop for the page numbers, and then click the icon on the right alignment tab in the tab of the Panel (see screenshot)

    Things should now be harmonised.

    You can also set the tabs in a paragraph style. You can use a style nested charater to get text in bold on the numbers. You can use the features of the Table of contents automatically to look for some tagged styles in your document and create a table of contents for you.

    Oracle Version: 10 gr 2

  • Shortcut for the new window with several tabs

    Is it possible to have a shortcut on the desktop to launch a new window with several tabs? For example - home page is set to "www.google.com", but the shortcut opens new window with tabs "www.cnn.com" and "www.youtube.com".

    Then far,.../firefox.exe-nouveau-fenetre followed by the two URL in quotes will open two new windows. Entry - new-window "www.cnn.com" - new-tab 'www.youtube.com' will open two new windows if no instance of firefox is open, but if another window is already open, youtube will add a tab to the already open window, rather than the new window with cnn.com

    Yes, there is a change in Firefox 23 to always show the tab bar. It is part of a series of changes expected to culminate with a great beauty in Firefox 26.
