Building Other Custom Screens Building Other Custom Screens Overview Advanced Custom Forms Overview Advanced Custom Forms provide you more control over the look and layout of the form that users will be accessing to enter data. You can access Advanced Custom Forms by expanding the Custom Form from the Custom Form main screen. Advanced Custom Forms To begin building an Advanced Custom Forms screen, click the Add Advanced Form link. The Advanced Custom Form Maintenance screen will display. Enter a Name for the screen and begin adding content to the form. We will now review one section at a time, as well as the buttons/options on the Advanced Custom Form Maintenance screen. System: This field cannot be edited. It is based on the type of Custom Form you are working in. Name: This is the name of the Advanced Custom Form and is the name that users will see when trying to access the information. Layout: Click this button to toggle the orientation of the form between Portrait (the default) or Landscape. This effects how the form will print when sent to a printer. Table: The options under here are to be used if using a table on the form. You would want your cursor placed in the row you wish to work with, and then you can select to Clone a Row, Delete a Row, or Delete to Last Row which will remove the row with your cursor, and all rows of the table below it. Fields: This is where you can access all of the available Skyward fields and Custom Fields created for the form and choose to add them to your form. This window will display and you can move your mouse to the header of it to drag it anywhere on the screen. With this open, you can still update/enter text on your form, so moving it around can be very helpful so that you don’t have to constantly open and close it. You can see the two groups of fields, and next to each field there is the Add link, just like in the Basic Custom Screen. The difference here is that you need to have your cursor in the location on the form where you want the field to be when you choose to add it. JavaScript: You can enter the code into this area instead of entering it into the Source. Adding JavaScript directly to the Source could cause the Advanced Custom Form to no longer open. This can be used for something like adding an on screen alert. Save: Use this to save your work without closing the screen. Save & Close: Use this button to save your work, and close the screen to return to the Custom Form main screen. Print: Click this button to create a printable version (a .PDF) of the form. This is helpful to verify that you are formatting the form to your liking. Back: Click this to return to the Custom Form main screen without saving your work. Page Layout: This is displaying the option set in the Layout area previously discussed. Secure Form: This allows you to be able to assign security to Advanced Custom Form independently from other Custom Screens that are not secured. If you only want a group of users that enter data into Custom Forms to be able to fill out the Screen you are creating, check this option. Set Security Groups: This button will be active if the Secure Form option is checked. Click on this button to be able to select which Web Student Management Security Groups you want to access on this screen. The actual Security Levels will be set back on the Custom Form main screen. This set of buttons is used to modify the formatting of the information entered on the screen. Use this button to undo your recent changes to the Undo body of the form. Clicking [Ctrl]+[z] while on the screen will also accomplish this. Use this button to redo a change that the Undo button had been used on. Clicking [Ctrl]+[y] while Redo on the screen will also accomplish this. This button will only be active if no other changes were made since clicking Undo. Use this button to find specific text within your form. Find This screen will appear where you can enter in your text (any characters), and choose from the additional Find Options. Use this button to find specific text within your form, and then have it replaced with different text. Replace This screen will appear where you can enter in your text you want to find, and then enter the text you want to replace it with. You also can choose from the additional Find Options. Use this button if you wish to select all information added to the form. This can be helpful if you need Select All to start over (click this, and then Delete/Backspace), or if you need to standardize the formatting. Click this to remove any additional formatting Remove Format made to text on your screen. Use this button to paste any text from your Clipboard into the form. Clicking [Ctrl]+[v] while Paste on the screen will also accomplish this. Note: You cannot paste images into the form. You should use the Image button. Use this button when pasting text that may have some formatting, which you either do not want on your form, or if it may be “hidden” in the background (i.e. pasting from Microsoft Word). Paste as plain text This screen will appear. Paste your text into this window, and then click ok. Note: When pasting from Word, even with this option, some formatting may still cause the form to not function correctly. It is best to enter your text directly into the form. Use this button when pasting items that were Paste from Word copied from the Microsoft Word program. Click this option to make your text bolded. Clicking Bold [Ctrl]+[b] while on the screen will also accomplish this. Click this option to make your text italicized. Italic Clicking [Ctrl]+[i] while on the screen will also accomplish this. Click this option to underline your text. Clicking Underline [Ctrl]+[u] while on the screen will also accomplish this. Click this option to show the strike through your Strike Through text. Click this option to be able to enter subscript text Subscript before or after your regular text. Click this option to be able to enter superscript Superscript text before or after your regular text. Click this option when you wish to start a new Insert/Remove numbered list (the list will start indented from the Numbered List regular alignment), or when you wish to end a numbered list. Click this option when you wish to start a new Insert/Remove bulleted list (the list will start indented from the Bulleted List regular alignment), or when you wish to end a bulleted list. Use this button to move the alignment back to the right after increasing the indentation. This button Decrease Indent will only be active on a line that the Increase Indent has been used on. Use this button to move the alignment away from the far left in about ½ inch. As text wraps from Increase Indent line to line, or return lines are entered the new lines will keep this indentation. Use this option to create indented text with an Block Quote extra line above and below the block. Align Left This aligns the paragraph along the left margin. This aligns the paragraph evenly down the center Center of the form. Align Right This aligns the paragraph along the right margin. This aligns your text evenly along the left and right margins. This will increase the spacing between Justify words on a line so that the start and end of it are at the margins. The last line of a paragraph will use normal spacing between words. Text Color You can change the color of the text here. You can change the background color of the text Background Color here. Use this to create a hyperlink within your text. Link This window will display where you can select the type of link (URL, an Anchor in the Form, or an Email), and then enter the details for the link. The other tabs are available for more advanced options. When you have linked text selected, this button Unlink will be active allowing you to remove the link. Use this button to upload an image to be displayed on your form. Most common web images are accepted. Image This window will appear, go to the New Image tab, then browse for your image from your computer, and then click Upload Image. It will then take you back to the Existing Image tab where you can set some additional image properties. Use this button to add a table to the form. Tables are great to use to accomplish unique layouts, or to keep text within certain margins. Table Clicking the Table button will open this screen where you can begin to set up the new table’s properties. A table width of 820 pixels will span the width of an 8.5 inch wide piece of paper (Portrait Layout form). A table width of 1080 pixels will span the width of an 11 inch wide piece of paper (Landscape Layout form). Once a table is added to the form, you can then right click with your mouse in it to get additional formatting functionality with the rows, columns, and individual cells. This will insert a line that will display and print on Insert Horizontal the form that will span the width of the form, or Line the cell it was inserted into.

    GOING IN STYLE (#3): ON TYPOGRAPHY, PART 2 Typography is “the visual component of the written word.” (Matthew Butterick, Typography for Lawyers: Essential Tools for Polished & Persuasive Documents (2nd ed. 2015) p. 20.) As discussed in the previous issue of this series, typography is a subtle but significant aspect of every brief we file, with the capacity to improve persuasiveness by making reading easier and demonstrating professionalism through attention to detail. While there are few hard rules in brief typography, there are many areas that call for practitioners’ consideration and consistency. The previous issue addressed two aspects of typography — type composition and text formatting. Here we will take up a third — page layout. PAGE LAYOUT Page layout is the way text looks on the page, including the amount of white space. The California Rules of Court impose a single page layout requirement: rule 8.204(b)(6)1 requires margins of 1.5" on left and right sides, 1" top and bottom. Other than that, brief writers have decisions to make. ● Line spacing Line spacing, the vertical distance between lines of text, must be a minimum 1.5 lines. (Rule 8.204(b)(5).) Although experts generally say something slightly less than 1.5-spaced lines is best for reading, it depends on how long the lines are. (See Ruth Anne Robbins, Painting with print: Incorporating concepts of typographic and layout design into the text of legal writing documents (2004) 2 J. Assoc. of Legal Writing Directors 108, 123–124.) In an appellate brief with 1.5" margins on an 8.5 x 11" page,1.5-spaced lines, which is what the 1 Citations to rules refer to the California Rules of Court.

  • The Selnolig Package: Selective Suppression of Typographic Ligatures*
    The selnolig package: Selective suppression of typographic ligatures* Mico Loretan† 2015/10/26 Abstract The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word shelfful, which is mentioned in the TEXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelfful rather than as shelfful. For English and German language documents, the selnolig package provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called “common” ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl ligatures as well as the ft and fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while making exceptions for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides ligature suppression rules for a number of so-called “discretionary” or “rare” ligatures, such as ct, st, and sp. The selnolig package requires use of the LuaLATEX format provided by a recent TEX distribution, e.g., TEXLive 2013 and MiKTEX 2.9. Contents 1 Introduction ........................................... 1 2 I’m in a hurry! How do I start using this package? . 3 2.1 How do I load the selnolig package? . 3 2.2 Any hints on how to get started with LuaLATEX?...................... 4 2.3 Anything else I need to do or know? . 5 3 The selnolig package’s approach to breaking up ligatures . 6 3.1 Free, derivational, and inflectional morphemes .

Redacting a PDF Document 11 Documents are typically authored in an application such as Microsoft® Word® or PowerPoint®, and converted to PDF for final distribution. As with References 13 many publishing operations, redaction is best accomplished in the authoring application. Using Microsoft Word as an example, this document explains how to set preferences for safe conversion to PDF. The general principles can be applied for use with other word processing or page layout applications. When only a PDF version of a document is available, it is necessary to redact using Acrobat. The section “Redacting a PDF Document” on page 11 describes a procedure for that purpose. Again, every effort should be made to redact in the authoring application before converting to PDF. NOTE: This document addresses redaction for documents that will be distributed as PDF files. Publishing documents in, for example, Microsoft Word or PowerPoint format can involve issues that are beyond the scope of this document.
