Question

Application toolbar in Arbortext 8.3.0

After installing Arbortext on a new laptop, some things aren't working how they should and I don't know why. I have allowed the application toolbar and turned it on. The change markup dropdown isn't showing the other tags allowed at the point of insertion. I'm trying to change a table to a chart. When I put my cursor to the right of the table start tag, the change markup dropdown should show chart as an option but it's not there. The only option on the dropdown is table. 

 

I don't remember doing anything on the old laptop to make this work, it just worked. Is there a setting that I'm missing?

 

Thanks!

Do you have a customized application? Did you upgrade from an earlier version of Arbortext editor.  We use the TIA application with Editor 8.1.1.1 and I do not see chart as an option.

Dear Customer,

 

Could you please share if this is the only option are you expecting should be shown there? Or you are noticing any other changes?

 

Could you please also share a snapshot showing this expected requirement?

Both table and chart should be shown there as both are allowed at the point of insertion. Tables get counted in the numbering stream while charts do not. So when I come to a table that should be a chart, I used to have the option change it via the dropdown in the application toolbar. 

 

The attached screenshot shows the application toolbar with the dropdown for changing markup circled in red. There should be two options on the dropdown to the right, table and chart. Right now it just says table.

 

The application toolbar is set as allowed in the DCF. I have also configured the toolbar so that hitting the bold/italics/underline buttons will insert the appropriate tag. So that part works fine, it's the change markup dropdown that does not work.

Dear Customer,

 

Thanks for your response. When I am checking at my end, I also see only the 'Table' option under the drop-down list. I have attached the screenshot for your reference. I am not sure how were seeing 'Chart' option as well under the drop-down list in previous releases. 

Please let me know if I am not looking at the right spot which you are expecting to check.

 

Here 'Table' tag is inserted under the 'P' tag that I have looked at my end. 

 

Have you customized your previous version of Arbortext Editor to get 'Chart' option as well?

 

Regards,

Manpreet Singh
