I have created a template, and have inserted my title block on page1, but when I come to the end of page one and go automatically to page 2 I want my title block to appear with the new page. Now I know I can insert one in the template but you get to the point how long is a piece of string, if I was to create a template with 25 pages all with my title block but only wanted to create a file with 3 pages. Then when fi have inished I would have to delete the rest of the pages or they would print out as well. The same applies if I find when I get to the 26th page I need to start creating the templates manually again.

I thought my response was probably too obvious. I just did some experiments with a Template. Anything defined as a Header or Footer gets carried from page to page correctly and page numbers update correctly. However, anything in the body of the source worksheet saved as a template only appears on the first page and has to be copied manually to subsequent pages. Presumably this is where your problem arises. I can think of other possible ways of getting the data from page 1 onto other pages but they would all involve more keying and complexity than simply copying using edit. -- Bill Hoad ************************************************** Want to contribute to this list?

A method that a lot of users prefer when they have a template that they use over again is to use "global definitions". This is a method for assigning variables in such a way that these are evaluated before local definitions. It is represented by a triple equals sign and is available either from the palette or by hitting the tilde key (~) and can be used in place of the :=. This means all the variables that need to be changed can be located at the same part of the document making them easier to locate and change. I hope this is of use to you please let me know if I haven't understood your request correctly.

The Mathcad list hosted by Adept Scientific The Technical Computing People http://www.adeptscience.co.uk. ************************************************** Hello, Here are some instructions for getting an input box to pop up in your Mathcad document. If you go to Insert..Component..Scriptable Object..New Bitmap Image..VBScript Language. choose 0 input and 2 outputs and ignore the warning message which comes up, it will insert a bitmap into your document which has a VBScript running behind it. (You can double-click on te object to fire up Paintbrush if you want to put a nice graphic in there) You can then enter variable names a and b into the placeholders, right click on the object, go to Edit Script and paste the syntax below into the editor. When you run the document it will prompt you for two values from a dialogue box, then pass these out (as a and b) to Mathcad. Sub ScriptObjEvent_Exec(Inputs,Outputs) Dim x,y,z x = InputBox("Please enter first input value:") y = InputBox("Please enter second input value:") Outputs(0).Value(0,0) = x Outputs(1).Value(0,0) = y End Sub Another way of getting an input box into Mathcad is by Going to Insert..Component and choosing Microsoft Forms TextBox, there's also things like ScrollBars, CheckBoxes and ToggleButtons, all the standard Visual Basic GUI objects. Adept will be able to supply you with examples of these. I hope this helps!

[MATHCAD] Re: Question on Internet Library - 8th May '98
Author: G Mariutti    Posted: Tue, 12 May 1998 17:37:53 GMT
I have this simple problem: My computer (a Mac) does not have Internet connection, but the connection is in the university computers. The idea is to download the site of adeptscience where there are some libraries with the Mathcad examples. I downloaded the site with WebBuddy and Netscape at home is able to open it normally. When however it mets a mathcad file is not able to recognize it as such and open the Mathcad 6+. I tried then to write the path of the saved internet file to Mathcad itself (Internet Setup), but nothing. It stacks to the http:///etc. Worse, Mathcad is not able even to open the files with the extension mcd (this probably because they are connected with the rest of the files in html format.) How I can resolve this problem and read the mathcad site at home?

Have you checked the Netscape preferences to make sure that Netscape knows about Mathcad? If Mathcad does not appear in the applications section of the preferences then Netscape will not know what to do with .mcd files.

Thanks for the answers on my previous question. I have got multiple answers. What is the procedure, to tell people that I already have a right answer. So people don't spend their valuable time on an answer I already have. An other Question is ; Has someone solved the problem of reading text from a text file. READPRN of course. But this text file contains numerical data and 1 row of text ata..( "loadcase_CMVS22192" is an example of the text data.) How do I get this text data in a Matrix or a vector ? Filling a vector by hand with the text data takes too much time, but is possible. I am also interested in Mathcad sheets, used for stress analyses. Just curious of how other people work. Are there other Aeronautical stress engineers in this mailing list. Regards, Wydo van de Waerdt.

As far as I'm aware the READPRN function will allow text e.g. a text description as the first line of the file, but this must not contain any numbers as the first number it finds it interprets as the start of the data, if it isn't the start of the data then it will report a read error wrong data format or something of the source. your example of text data will cause this problem and the only way I know to solve the problem is to edit the file and remove this header line or replace all the numerical values with words e.g. CMVStwo,two,one,nine,two etc. Regards Mark. > -----Original Message----- > From: /> > Behalf Of wydo van de > waerdt > Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 1999 7:58 AM > To: /> > Subject: [MATHCAD] Question > > > Thanks for the answers on my previous question. > I have got multiple answers. > > What is the procedure, to tell people that I already have a right answer. > So people don't spend their valuable time on an answer I already have. > > An other Question is ; > > Has someone solved the problem of reading text from a text file. > READPRN of course. > But this text file contains numerical data and 1 row of text > ata..( "loadcase_CMVS22192" is an example of the text data.) > > How do I get this text data in a Matrix or a vector ? > Filling a vector by hand with the text data takes too much time, but is > possible. > > I am also interested in Mathcad sheets, used for stress analyses. > Just curious of how other people work. > Are there other Aeronautical stress engineers in this mailing list. > > > Regards, > > Wydo van de Waerdt. > The Netherlands > > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > The Mathcad List - Discussion, Support & News > Contributions: /> > To unsubscribe: Send in the body: unsubscribe mathcad > To: /> > Hosted by: Adept Scientific http://www.adeptscience.com > List Archive: http://lists.adeptscience.co.uk/ > ------------------------------------------------------------- The Mathcad List - Discussion, Support & News Contributions: /> To unsubscribe: Send in the body: unsubscribe mathcad To: /> Hosted by: Adept Scientific http://www.adeptscience.com List Archive: http://lists.adeptscience.co.uk/

READPRN normally ignores text blocks in files. I don't think you can have a mixed text / numeric array in MathCAD, but you can have arrays of text. If you really truly want to get everything in a text file into an array, you will have to get a third party DLL that does a hex read/ write, then handle the results on your own. I did a search for this sort of thing a few months ago with alta vista, and recommend the following: SpecIO.dll for questions or comments contact M. Vol Moody does a lot of signal processing stuff, as well. I'd send you a copy, but I'm unclear on copyrights for this guy. It's posted on the web, however.

How about approaching it a little less directly? Excel is pretty good at reading in lots of different types of text files and Mathcad can read data from Excel. Perhaps the two in combination could get your data into Mathcad in the form you want. > -----Original Message----- > From: /> > Behalf Of wydo van de > waerdt > Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 1999 7:58 AM > To: /> > Subject: [MATHCAD] Question > > > Thanks for the answers on my previous question. > I have got multiple answers. > > What is the procedure, to tell people that I already have a right answer. > So people don't spend their valuable time on an answer I already have. > > An other Question is ; > > Has someone solved the problem of reading text from a text file. > READPRN of course. > But this text file contains numerical data and 1 row of text > ata..( "loadcase_CMVS22192" is an example of the text data.) > > How do I get this text data in a Matrix or a vector ? > Filling a vector by hand with the text data takes too much time, but is > possible. > > I am also interested in Mathcad sheets, used for stress analyses. > Just curious of how other people work. > Are there other Aeronautical stress engineers in this mailing list. > > > Regards, > > Wydo van de Waerdt. > The Netherlands > > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > The Mathcad List - Discussion, Support & News > Contributions: /> > To unsubscribe: Send in the body: unsubscribe mathcad > To: /> > Hosted by: Adept Scientific http://www.adeptscience.com > List Archive: http://lists.adeptscience.co.uk/ > ------------------------------------------------------------- The Mathcad List - Discussion, Support & News Contributions: /> To unsubscribe: Send in the body: unsubscribe mathcad To: /> Hosted by: Adept Scientific http://www.adeptscience.com List Archive: http://lists.adeptscience.co.uk/ ------------------------------------------------------------- The Mathcad List - Discussion, Support & News Contributions: /> To unsubscribe: Send in the body: unsubscribe mathcad To: /> Hosted by: Adept Scientific http://www.adeptscience.com List Archive: http://lists.adeptscience.co.uk/
