Unwanted & unremovable "T" inserts in User Tools


Harry Hoffner

Recommended Posts

I don't recall if this issue has already been raised. But as I am creating for myself new User Tools -- sometimes consisting of public domain online downloadable text -- and then setting up a hierarchical outline in the "browser" pane of the User Tool to facilitate navigation in the text, I often find the "T" hierarchical marker appearing where I never inserted one, and -- even more frustrating -- when I place the cursor on the line under it, as directed in the instructions and clicking on the "T" selector, I cannot delete it!

 

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution. It really messes up the browser view of my tool.

 

Many thanks.

Yes, this problem has been raised, it is due to the new margin around the text. If you click below the T you can remove it. It will be fixed in the next release, very soon.

Yep, I have them too. Those un-removable T marks or 1, or 2, etc.

They are usually always at the TOP line of the edit window.

No way to get rid of it.

I have clicked on it.

I have clicked on the line below it.

I have shift-clicked, ctrl-clicked, option-clicked.

It just won't go away.

On the first line of the Edit window you must have a T since this forms the break from the previous section. The line can be left blank, but it has to be a title line.

Helen has beautifully described here the problem, but of course not the solution: we still do not know how to remove such a T when it is at the top of an Edit window, where we do not wish a title to occur.

 

But I am very glad this bug will be fixed in the next release. Thank you, Accordance team!

Harry:

 

I think you are confusing two issues.

 

The T is offset from the text on each line, and one has to click below it to change it. This bug is fixed in 7.0.2 which I hope to post later today.

 

The T has to appear on the first line of the Edit window. This is not a bug. Accordance needs a title line to separate each section, and the Edit window always displays an entire section or sections, so it always has a title line at the top. You can leave it blank if you like, but you should not start a full paragraph in the first line.

Helen,

 

I think Harry's difficulty is the same as mine, ie not the very first T at the very beginnning of the very first line of the very first paragraph of the User Tool (UT).

 

The issue is all the subsequent T's that are automatically placed throughout the UT to divide it up into sections so Accordance can manage it.

 

Harry, go to preferences and select "Edit Window".

(If this option isn't listed there, then exit the preferences window. Using the menus go to File>User Files>New User Notes. (NB Notes, not Tool!) Create a User Note for yourself and save it in the User Notes folder under ~user/documents/Accordance Files/User Notes. You don't have to do anything else with it.)

 

In the Preferences window, under "User Tool Edit" change the 'block' setting to "Large (fewer updates)", and click OK.

 

Go back to editing your UT, hopefully you will be able to edit the UT in larger blocks, so will be able to remove the unwanted Ts.

 

~A!
