Has anyone have this product? We are taking a good long look at it and
wanted to get some feedback on it's pros and cons.

If you have it, is it connected to your uProduce or are you using
theirs?

Hello,
 
I am trying to format a file in Access to use in XMPIE. It is a table with product descriptions and some of them include trademark symbols that need to appear in superscript. The original Excel file shows the proper formatting but once I import it into Access it gets lost. The symbols keep their shape but they lose the superscript property.
 
Is there a way to ensure they keep their format?
 
Thanks for your help.

Set your paragraph style with a font like Myriad Pro or Minion Pro that has a proper superscripted trademark symbol

or

Set the type with a paragraph style and then highlight the "TM" symbol and give it superscript, then with it still hightlighted create a character style and call it "superscript". You should copy the TM symbol.

Now go back into the paragraph style and navigate to the GREP styles, create a new one, paste in your TM symbol and choose the superscript character style.

voila! you now have text that will super script the trademark sybol whenever it finds it.

cheers,
Bob

Thanks for taking time to send me your suggestions, Bob, very much appreciated. However, my data is variable from a table of products and I am looking for a way to maybe insert some sort of trigger within it that would make XMPIE superscript it. I am more in the database aspect of the job but I want to help the person in charge of the merging with this issue.
 
In the mean time we are going to try changing the font until we get one that displays them properly.
 
Best regards!
 
Alberto

create 3 variable one for the starting of the unicode and add this
code
variableA
"<UNICODE-WIN>\r\n<Version:5><FeatureSet:InDesign-
Roman><ParaStyle:NormalParagraphStyle>"

VariableB(this defines your font to be used change this to what ever
font type you are using)
"<cTypeface:Regular><cSize:9.000000><cLeading:
12.000000><cFont:VAGRounded Light Italic>"

VariableC
FindAndReplace( trim( |->[data field]), " TM ", " " &
"<cPosition:Superscript>TM<cPosition:>"
//where |->[data field is your data field with the superscripts in.

Remamber though if your field has empty values or Null then you need
to do a if else statement where null is VariableA & Variable B & " "
As you will get an error if you don't accommodate the null as unicode.

Then in your ador place the 3 variables
@{VariableA} & @{VariableB}& @{VariableC}
