Re: WordReport Help
Hi Phil, Thanks for your input! The data tag was working before this anomaly occurred. The text in the data tag is just regular text. The font is Times New Roman. The text and formatting were not changed in the data tag. I am hoping that someone who uses WordReport can give me insight on this problem. There are a few general rules in the WordReport for data tags but no suggestions to aid in resolving this type of problem. Since WordReport uses brackets for the data tags, I am guessing that it is using merge in creating a Word document. I never used merge in any of my projects. So, this problem could be possibly related to merge. I paid Curry for the initial WordReport template. Curry was very helpful in setting up the template for WordReport. It worked on a consistent basis for a few days until yesterday. I am thinking that Word for the Mac may be the culprit. I used Word for Mac in adding a data tag to the template. But no other changes were made to the template. I am going to try Word for Windows today to see if this will fix the problem. Curry indicated that he does not think Word for the Mac is the problem, however. But I am pretty sure Curry used Word for Windows in creating the data tags in the template.

WordReport Help
I am having difficulty with a data tag in WordReport. I am using LC 6.1.3. How do you keep a data tag from inserting an extra line after the data tag? I have one data tag that keeps inserting an extra line before a non-data tag line. The data tag has a cr immediately after it. When a Word document is created, the cr is moved to the next line creating an extra line. I have look at formatting but cannot figure how to fix the problem.

Re: Screen Resolution for Desktop Apps

Re: Screen Resolution for Desktop Apps
Jacqueline I am referring to the Hi-DPI scaling that was introduced in LC 6.5 that allows stacks to be automatically scaled to match the system display setting. I am not using 6.5 but using 6.7.11 instead. I am assuming that this works with the user's setting when they use your app. I set most of my desktop apps to a minimum of a 1280x768 screen resolution in order to launch and run my apps. I had some Windows 10 users complained of not being able to run my apps although their screen resolution is higher than the required 1280x768. In the past I had recommended that they adjust their ClearType font setting to resolve this problem. I think that the Hi-DPI scaling is responsible for this problem. This is why I thought THAT using LC 6.9.11 the Hi-DPI scaling might resolve this problem. What do you think is the best way to resolve this problem?

I also wanted the same thing to occur when the second set of option buttons were selected that the first group of option buttons would be reset. I wanted to avoid putting a lot of code into my switch statements for each group because there are a lot of switch statements. Any other suggestions? I was really surprised that a group script would not accomplished this Sent from my iPad ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Screen Resolution Dialog problem with Windows 10
An user reported seeing a screen resolution dialog in one of my programs that requests a screen resolution of 1024x768 be used. The problem is that the user reportedly is using a screen resolution of 1920x1080. She is using Windows 10. I am using LC 6.1.2 and use the following code in my app stack: on checkForScreenSize IF the platform is "win32" then if item 3 of the screenRect < 1024 or item 4 of the screenRect < 768 then answer error "The Assistant software requires a minimum 1024x768 screen resolution.

Clipboard problem with Word and LC
I have been struggling with a font/clipboard problem for four days. The following script works great on the Mac (Yosemite) and LC 5.5.5 placing text from a field “preview” onto to a clipboard and then pasted into a word processing document. The type of font and font size is set from the font menu in an option button. But on Windows XP and Windows 8 the Windows app continues to give a Tahoma font and 9 point size font for all of the fonts when pasted into the Windows version of Open Office. I check the clipBoardData with the following command in the message box on both Mac and Windows versions of LC 5.5.5: put keys(the clipBoardData) which yielded: styles rtf unicode text So there is styled text on the clipboard. Here is the button script for adding the contents of field “preview” to the clipboard. Please note I tried both RTF and htmlText code but neither worked in Windows on mouseUp if field "preview" <> "" then set the clipboardData to empty set the clipboardData["RTF"] to the RTFText of field "preview" --set the clipboardData["html"] to the htmlText of field “preview” This gives the same results as RTF else answer information "You have no completed form to add to the clipboard." end if end mouseUp I also an option font menu for field “preview” with the following script: on menuPick pItemName switch pItemName case "Select Font and Font Size for MSE in Document" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Arial" set the textSize of field "preview" to "12" break case "Arial - 10 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Arial" set the textSize of field "preview" to "10" break case "Arial - 11 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Arial" set the textSize of field "preview" to "11" break case "Arial - 12 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Arial" set the textSize of field "preview" to "12" break case "Georgia - 10 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Georgia" set the textSize of field "preview" to "10" break case "Georgia - 11 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Georgia" set the textSize of field "preview" to "11" break case "Georgia - 12 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Georgia" set the textSize of field "preview" to "12" break case "Palatino - 10 point - Mac only" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Palatino" set the textSize of field "preview" to "10" break case "Palatino - 11 point - Mac only" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Palatino" set the textSize of field "preview" to "11" break case "Palatino - 12 point - Mac only" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Palatino" set the textSize of field "preview" to "12" break case "Tahoma - 10 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Tahoma" set the textSize of field "preview" to "10" break case "Tahoma - 11 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Tahoma" set the textSize of field "preview" to "11" break case "Tahoma - 12 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Tahoma" set the textSize of field "preview" to "12" break case "Times New Roman - 10 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Times New Roman" set the textSize of field "preview" to "10" break case "Times New Roman - 11 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Times New Roman" set the textSize of field "preview" to "11" break case "Times New Roman - 12 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Times New Roman" set the textSize of field "preview" to "12" break case "Verdana - 10 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Verdana" set the textSize of field "preview" to "10" break case "Verdana - 11 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Verdana" set the textSize of field "preview" to "11" break case "Verdana - 12 point" set the textFont of field "preview" to "Verdana" set the textSize of field "preview" to "12" break end switch end menuPick I also viewed LC business academy short lesson on clipboard but it does not provide any clues on how to solve this problem.

QT and LC 5.5.5; Which LC should I update to?
I am currently using 5.5 to make Mac apps that do not employ QT. I am also started using App Wrapper 3. I noticed that each app that I code signed for the Mac I have to always to designate not to include QT as an exec. I received emails from Sam Rowland, the creator of App Wrapper about this problem. He pointed out that the version of LC (5.5.5) has QT wired into this version. He suggested that since QT has been depreciated in OS X and depends on Carbon that this will crash Mac apps. Although I have yet to have an app crash on Mavericks, which I used for development, I am concerned about this issue. So here is my question: Which LC version should I update to that is stable and does not depend on Carbon? Again, I am not interested in QT or AV Foundation since I do not use these in my apps.
