So ultimately, I need to adjust the whole paragraph in order to not have widows in a paragraph.

Re: Widows in paragraphs and xrefs
If you are using FOSI, widows and orphans are handled by the keeps category. I have attached the relevant section from my book.
Generally, the widowct and orphanct characteristics on the keeps category are coded in the docdesc so they apply to the entire document. For example:
<docdesc>
<charlist>
...
<keeps orphanct="2" widowct="2">

Issue with Arbortext and Documentum Connection
Webtop is migrated from 6.7 sp1 to webtop 6.7 sp2.Arbortext version used is 6.0 M020 in both.
In webtop 6.7 sp1,opened a xml document in Arbortext Editor.Connected to Documentum via AE and could insert components.
Whereas in 6.7 sp2,even after connecting to Documentum through AE,while hitting enter to insert a component,it is asking for the documentum connection again.
Why it is asking for the connection again,when it is already connected.What is the solution to this behaviour?

Re: Widows in paragraphs and xrefs
Where do I find docdesc, I do not seem to have a file named that in my com.arbortext.sma folder.

Report Management: Latest Version/Iteration
I'm building a report via Report Management. For my results I only want the most up-to-date document and display it version and iteration. Right now the way my query works is that I get the latest versions with it's latest iteration. Example: document.xml A.11 and B3. I just want B.3. Make sense?
In my Query Builder I have:
Document.Version (versionDisplayIdentifier)
Document.Latest Iteration
I searched through discussion but couldn't find the answer. It was mostly sql queries (or something like that).
Your help is appreciated 
Thank you, Darquise.

Re: Widows in paragraphs and xrefs
The Service Manual Application uses Styler with the APP formatting engine. FOSI is not used. You will need APP's fParagraph.orphanWordLength property which Gareth mentioned.

Re: Widows in paragraphs and xrefs
I believe both are used in our stylesheet. Thanks for all the information. I thought this would be a simple, go here and change this to "5" answer. But it seems I will need to do more reading to find the spot Gareth suggested.

Re: Widows in paragraphs and xrefs
This property is not exposed in Styler, or wasn't last time I checked. To add that property you will want to do an "APP source edit" (sometimes called APP override). The easiest way to do that is to add a Property Set called, for example, "fixOrphanLines". You right click "fixOrphanLines" and go Edit Source.
In there you will want to add the code that is required. I don't know the incantation off the top of my head. You need to figure out what the current block object is, go to it's defaultParagraph, and set the orphanWordLength property. Something like:
formatting.currentBlock.defaultParagraph.orphanWordLength = 10;
// or perhaps
formatting.currentParagraph.orphanWordLength = 10;
You then have to associate that Property Set with all the contexts in the stylesheet you want that behaviour.
If you require more detailed assistance there are organisations that can help. The company I work for (www.gpsl.co) is an example. We are specialists in Arbortext and APP customisation, stylesheets and custom software development.

Highlighting text in Arbortext Editor 6.1 F000
Hi,
We used to work with MsWord where we used "highlight text fucntionality" to identify the paragraph, sentence that need to be modified or reviewed later on.
But as we moved to Arbortext, authors are finding it impossible to markup/highlight text that are not finalised.
Is there a similar function in Arbortext we could use to identify text within an element (e.g <para>) as "not final".
Is there a way to highlght text in Arbortext?
This could be a great help and reduce intermediate authoring in word only to be copied to Arbortext later on.
Thanks,
Edwin

Can someone provide an example for the im edtitype commmand?
Hi.
I would like to have an example of the "im edittype" command to remove the overridden description in the 'Overrides for Fields" for an item type.
I wasn't able to figure this out from the "im edittype -?" information. My search for documentation has come up empty. And my trial-and-error experimentation has failed.
Can someone provide an example, or point me to documentation?
Thanks...

Re: Highlighting text in Arbortext Editor 6.1 F000
Yes, you can insert what is called "touchup". Touchup is not related to the elements of the DTD but is an Arbortext-specific way of marking up changes to font, colour, etc. I don't have Arbortext in front of me right now but it should be under the Insert or Format menu perhaps.
Note that Arbortext also supports change tracking if that is more closely aligned with your needs.

Re: Highlighting text in Arbortext Editor 6.1 F000
Thanks for pointing to some workaround. We could adapt such features in Arbortext to our need.
It would have been better if PTC pulled in this simple MS Word feature.
↧
Re: Highlighting text in Arbortext Editor 6.1 F000
I might have misunderstood your question. What does "been better if PTC pulled in this simple MS Word feature" mean? I don't see how Arbortext Editor text highlighting is different from MS Word text highlighting (except for the different buttons to click)?
Or do you mean that you would like to import MS Word to Arbortext with highlighting? Or do you mean copy/paste from MS Word is not retaining highlighting?

Re: check completeness with Arbortext Editor 6.1 M020
Dear Dmitry,
thank you for your answer.
Meanwhile we know, what the reason was for this strange behaviour:
We are using custom-installations of Arbortext Editor. For this installations we have customizations zipped in custom.zip. As we know in this custom.zip there should only be content of customizations. For example .acl - Skripts, java classes and so on. Therefore in our zip there are also only this customizations inside. But unfortunately Arbortext Editor need in doctypes the folder 'eventlog' to get the correct completeness check results like in your screenshots.
We dont know why this folder must be a part of the customizations, but this was the solution in this case.
Thank you again for your help.

curl character instead of space in Arbortext Editor 6.1 M020 or Styler
Dear guys,
do you know an opportunity to get a 'curl' character like in WinWord instead of space character in Arbortext Editor?
In XML there is an three-per-em space unicode between this characters, like here:
As you can see there is only a space character visible.
In WinWord the useres know this sign:
As you can see there is a curl between the characters.
Is it in Arbortext Editor or Style also possible to get the curl instead of the space character?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Is Insert -> Symbol (Einfügen -> Symbol) what you're looking for?
For autonumbering you can use Prefix/Suffix:

Re: Highlighting text in Arbortext Editor 6.1 F000
I should add that the <_font> tag does not have to be visible. The following tag display command in a startup file will hide the <_font> tagdd, but the highlighted text will be shown.
td _font -none

Re: Report Management: Latest Version/Iteration
Yes, you should be able to filter out data with Cognos too. Actually, Cognos is quite a flexible and powerful tool. It takes a while to get familiar with it, but it surely pays off in the end, if you ask me.
Feel free to ask additional question if you decide to go the Cognos way - I haven't built any reports in it for a while, but still remember a trick or two from the old days
PS We're actually in the wrong Community, so I'd suggest to contact moderators to move the discussion to the Windchill one, where you could probably get more feedback.
