Question

Changing Text Format

  • March 11, 2007

I've imported (cut and pasted) a document into a topic - however as it stands I cannot change the format - for example All Caps, Small Caps, and all the boxes "unchecked' , and it makes no difference at all :
Here's the WYSIWYG:

6.0.0 Inventory Control
INVENTORY MANAGER ASSIGNS AND PERFORMS THE FOLLOWING:

and the code is:

<!--(Links)=========================================================-->
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="..\..\..\Global.CSS">

</head>
<!--(Body)==========================================================-->
<body>
<h1>6.0.0 Inventory Control</h1>
<p>INVENTORY MANAGER ASSIGNS AND PERFORMS THE FOLLOWING:</p>
</body>
</html>

Nothing seems to work - even if I try to change it Word, Notepad (cut and paste), even into DOS text , and using EDIT from the command prompt - havent tried EDLIN yet - not quite that desperate
.
The <h1>6.0.0 Inventory Control</h1> line works fine, but the:
<p>INVENTORY MANAGER ASSIGNS AND PERFORMS THE FOLLOWING:</p> doesn't want to play.

However - editing this line manually does seem to fix the problem. I have a few TOPICs that have this problem throughout, so the manual editing is a little unpractical.

I'm stumped on this one - it doesn't seem to make sense...

The "%20" indicates a space, which I believe might be at the root of your problems. Good HTML practice when separating words is to use underscores only.

By the way, what's your css setting for body?


Good luck,

Nope - only got
ARMORED CAR TRANSPORT
armored car transport
ARMORED CAR TRANSPORT

and if I copy+paste it into Word it's all uppercase.

Cool bit of code though. Shall now crawl into a corner.

Got you.

Uppercase - converts lowercase to uppercase and leaves uppercase as it was so you get all caps.

Lowercase - converts uppercase to lowercase and leaves lowercase as it was so you get all lowercase

Capitalize - converts any first letters to uppercase but changes nothing else.

Try this link

Sorry but I don't think there is anything for what you want.

On Visio, try saving the flowchart as a jpg or gif and use that.

Hi Peter,
Attached is part of the file which was originally pasted into the project. Now as you can see you can't change "upper", "lower", "capitalize etc.....
I've tried this on two PC's same problem.........
and - If I may run this one by you too, as I'm at a loss on this one. I've exported a visio file as an html, but RH won't let me import it - I get this msg:
The "%" Cannot be used in path. The path shown is:
Purchase%20Requ_files/toolbar.htm - the files are on the local drive, infact in the projects' folder...
Anyway - here's the offending file:

Can you recreate this in a one or two topic test project that you can zip up and send me?

Include a link to this topic when you email.

Morning Peter,
Well you name it, I've tried it.
The only thing if managed to achieve is this format:

"This Is a Test For Format"

I've tried everything I can think of, text, RTF, using Wordpad etc. Oddly enough the same prob is happening in Word - but once again this only occurs if I use the text from the website.
I've copy/pasted text from the MSN website to try the same, and it works perfectly.
Now completely stumped, there isn't any odd characters either.
I have had a look thro' your web site.
Cheers
Al

Try capitalize instead of lowercase or uppercase. That gives each word a capital letter at the beginning.

Hi Peter,
Everything works well. The main formatting problem I'm comming across tho' is I can't clear the formatting - ie I can only get "APPLE" or "APPLE" but not "Apple" - which I'm looking for. You're right tho', playing with the HTML code can be interesting.
But this formatting snag is proving to be a headache.
Thanks
Al
