Hi all, I've searched hi and low in the forum and the FusionPro manuals for the answer on how to programatically select the paper tray to draw from (and which output format can pull this off). In the old days using the large commercial Xerox lasers, we could include a dynamic job descriptor record into the input data to control copy count, paper tray selection etc... this just seems so basic but for the life of me, I can't find much on it. Any thoughts as to the output format to use and how to select a paper tray dynamically? TIA, Gregg

Yes it does. Started off rebuilding my rule to match the examples from the Frodo tutorial. I found a logic error in one loop that took my table index out of bounds which would explain why there where no properties. Everything validated and I finished off my coding... but now it was complaining (on validation) that my edf object had no properties. Saved it anyways and everything previewed just fine. Composed the entire thing on the server with no problems. Weird...

Version 7.2

Been a couple of years since working with FP and I'm having trouble setting up a simple FPTable. Placed this code in a rule and tried to validate it. I get the following error 'Table Rule line 8: TypeError: table.Rows[0] has no properties'. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? TIA var table = new FPTable; table.AddColumns(10000,10000,10000); table.AddRows(1); table.Rows[0].Cells[0].Content = "Cell 0"; table.Rows[0].Cells[1].Content = "Cell 1"; table.Rows[0].Cells[2].Content = "Cell 2"; return table.MakeTags();

I have also tried to find work-arounds for the underling placement and thickness. A recent problem was underlines and superscripts on date day postfixes (23rd, 1st, 17th etc...). The client wants a phrase with the superscripts included to be underlined as well. Unlike most applications, when FP superscripts, and it is underlined, the underline is also superscripted... not good. Especially when the paragraph contains variables. The only work-around I could come up with is attached. It uses 2 text boxes. The first is the 'top' layer, which contains one paragraph with a variable (first name) and part of the text underlined... but NOT the superscriped part. Then made a copy of this text box and called it 'underlined layer'. The key was changing the font color of everthing but the underline at the superscript portion to white and making it the bottom layer. Seems to work. Thanks to all the regulars and hope this helps someone else in a similar situation. Gregg test_Underline.pdf test.txt

if (Len(Trim(Field("NAME"))) < 15) { return '<z newsize="24"/>' + Trim(Field("NAME")); } else { return '<z newsize="20"/>' + Trim(Field("NAME")); } See page 46 of the Tags reference manual. Another route would be to check out copyfitting and allow text to expand. See page 140 of the User manual for more info.

Greetings, I'm brand new to expresson (3.1.12) and have a simular question as the first poster on the thread. When using expression producer to create my images, I can specify the file format and resolution with great results. But when I use FusionPro (7.2) with a graphic frame and a personalized picture rule, the images appear and print in low res 72dpi. I know there has to be a setting or cfg file to change the resolution but for the life of me I can't seem to find it. Any help would be most appreciated. TIA, Gregg

Looks like you're missing a break; statement after each case
