This is what I'd like to do. I'd like to be able to display several pics in columns (2,3) on the same webpage to compare them on the right hand side of the menu which would be in the margin on the left. Many thanks for your help.
(I've got a scalar.edu site which uses html)
On a http://scalar.usc.edu/ book site in the page edit mode on the toolbar at top of the text edit area there is an option to "Paste from Word". You can create the table you want in MS Word or Libre Office and copy the entire table to clipboard, then paste it using this button. Worked for me with Libre Office 5 Write.
The table borders are by default not visible in Scalar and one way to make this positioning easier is that while in word editor add a letter of text to each cell in the table. Once copied and pasted into scalar you can select the letter with your mouse and delete it and the cursor will be positioned so you can use the toolbar option on the right to Insert Inline Scalar Media Link. You will need to import content to be able to use it.

I have taken over an MS Access database that was created by an employee that has moved on. It appears that he has created a form in the database by importing a paper form that is used within our company. What makes me believe that he imported a paper form is the exactness of Access form in relation to the paper form.
I am not sure how to ask query this using Google nor Bing. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this, please? I need to do the same thing with another paper form.
Yes, June7 is right, this is a handy technique.
Scan your paper document as JPG or PNG
Create a blank Access Form, and from the Design ribbon menu, choose "Insert Image" and select your newly created JPG or PNG scan
For the image object, check the properties window and make sure the "Sizing Mode" is set to Clip (and not Stretch or Zoom)
Now re-size the Image on your form so you can see everything correctly.
Now add Text boxes on top of the image, to create fillable text fields, exactly over the same place as the ones in the scanned image behind your text boxes.
You can then make a Table with the same field names, and update the Form to use this Table as it's Data Source on the Data Tab of the Form properties.
Once you have the form working perfectly nicely,
a handy time-staving step is File -> Save Object As -> change the Form dropdown to Report
Now you have created a Report that is printable using the same data table you created earlier (and write macro or VBA code make sure you print only one record at a time if that is the normal behaviour you expect)
A very simple problem to which I cannot find a solution:
I have a form with 2 (will be more in future) pages. So far I have completed the first page (Main) and now I'm about to do the second page. However, some fields are showing up on both pages.
How do I "anchor" the fields to a specific page so they don't show elsewhere?
Just make sure you have pages of even height, and set for the form AutoSize to True.
Also, hide the vertical scrollbar and implement your own paging control.
1) Go to Design View
2) Cut out the fields (ctrl+X) which are in wrong place
3) Go to sheet property and manually select the desired page location
4) Insert the fields there (ctrl+V)
For some reason it didn't work for me in any other way (ie. I couldn't select my page with a simple click on the page itself, I had to select it through properties).
I have about 2000 items that I want to add my page. They are right now in alphabetical order in a word doc, and I want to add them in a list sort of manner. Since there are so many of them, and I basically right now am adding each of them one by one I needed to know if there is a quicker way I am missing? Please let me know if so.
Ok I've got some real trick out here go to TinyMCE, Copy Paste the list of words, select all and make it as a list and press submit now copy paste all the items from "Source output from post"
Open your dreamweaver and the page you are working on.
Paste the texts
Select All
Go Properties Panel Find the list button then click it. It should convert all the texts to list items
In an auto-generated chart based on a query (I dragged the chart object onto a blank form to start it), the chart itself is displaying and updating properly, datawise, but I want to change the Legend from reading "SumOfAvgOfield1" and "SumOfAvgOfield2" to regular words suitable for final presentations. But I can't find a way to change it!
I realize this is a late answer, but I was just having a similar issue and figured someone else might benefit from knowing how to get rid of the 'SumOf' labels.
In design view, right click on the chart and select 'Properties'.
Choose the Data tab.
The 'Row Source' field is the one you're going to be interested.
In there you can see various places where it's labeling your data:
Sum() AS [SumOfData]
Just edit the text right in the properties window and you'll be set.
This is WAY late, but here's what I found (Yes we still use office 2007)
Open the form in PivotTable View. Open Property Sheet. Highlight the column you want to change the Legend Caption for. Choose the Captions Tab in the properties window. There you can change the captions for each column.
Had 4 charts on a form. 3 would let me edit the Heading of the Chart, the 4th would not. Read a lot of posts that did not pertain. Noticed the datasheet for the 4th chart was completely empty.
SOLUTION: Clicked on chart until the datasheet appeared. Added mock field headings and mock data to datasheet. I could then click on chart and edit the chart's Heading. You can also highlight and change the color of selected words in the chart's Heading. Very Nice!
Good luck,
Vancer
The SumofAverageOfFiled1, etc is automatically generated. Even if you edit it in the datasheet, it changes back (or at least that is my experience). What I did to get around this is add a Rectangle and fill it with white and size it to cover up the "Sumof" captions. You can Bring to Front the Rectangle. Then you can add text boxes to label the chart's bars to read the way you want them. Drag them over the Rectange and Bring to Front.
Hope this helps.
Everywhere I looked it said just change the Pivot Table to change the Legend Entry.
Well, let me tell you.
First, if you have no Pivot Table that you can see do the following:
go to design view and select the form
right click and hit Properties. Scroll through till you see AllowPivotTableView and select yes.
Now you can go and change the column headers!
This could help
Select xxxxx, yyyyy from zzzz
Chart0.ChartSeriesCollection(0).DisplayName = ![XXXXX]
Chart0.ChartSeriesCollection(1).DisplayName = ![YYYYY]
Was very difficult to me to find a way to do it.
For a report in MS Access (2007) I need to put data of some columns on all odd pages and other columns on all even pages. It is for printing out double sided card files onto sheets of paper.
Does somebody have an idea how to do that?
Your question is too general. I would suggest you have all columns in all pages, and then add some code to the page header section (or even in the detail section) "On Format" to change the .Visible property of your Detail text boxes depending on the page number.
I think you'll need to have a Text Box in the page header or footer with "=[Page]" as source data in order to know the correct page number. My Access report knowledge might be severely outdated, though.
Well you can check whether "Page" is odd or even in an "On Format" event and maker columns visible or not visible depending on which page you are on. However, it would be far easier to:
Put in a couple of sections and put in a new page between them. Then it's just a matter of ensuring that you don't overflow the page with too many rows per card.
OR
Make the report wide enough that it forces a second page and then place those columns on a second page (i.e. the back of the first page). As I recall access's print order is left right top bottom, so pages set up like this:
A B
C D
would print like this:
A
B
C
D
In the case of having to display data from the same record on two consecutive pages, this is the option I would choose.
You could alternatively use a pair of queries, printing the first to side A, and the second to side B, perhaps?
