Can I covert text to columns like I can in Excel?

If I have a numbers cell that reads: Mr. Tom Jones; can I parse that cell so I get
Mr. in one cell; Tom in another cell; and Jones in a third cell?

As is often the case, there are many ways. Here's one:
Full Name
Prefix
First
Last
Mr. Tom Jones
Mr.
Tom
Jones
Ms. June Wilcox
Ms.
June
Wilcox
Mister Fred Rogers
Mister
Fred
Rogers
Sr. Ed Bushboulder
Sr.
Ed
Bushboulder
Prefix column: =MID(A, 1, FIND(" ", A)-1)
First column: =MID(A, LEN(B)+2, FIND(" ", A, LEN(B)+2)-LEN(B)-2)
Last column: =MID(A, LEN(B&C)+3, LEN(A)-LEN(B&C)-2)

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

My employer and I both have iPhone 5. We both recently updated as recommended. Now we can no longer text each other. I can text and receive from other iPhone users. Any ideas??

Well, that didn't work since I am already using my appleID for both FaceTime and iMessage but i did see the option to send as SMS when iMessage not available. so I am now able to send to him but I don't know if he can send to me. It's a start. It is only with his phone. His wife has a Galaxy and they are both on AT&T and she can send and receive. I am on sprint. If that info helps

HT1528 Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

Hi UI Guy,
I can't provide the technical reason, however, I'm farilry certain it is a function of Forum structure itself.
Don't know if you are interested in suggestions to meet your need to "bookmark pages within the Apple Support system so you can refer back to them easily", but I use them regularly, and do this one of two ways (I use both):
If it is strictly an Apple Support page that I retrieved from Apple, I bookmark it with clear easy to find names, and put them in my Apple Support Folder in my bookmarks (I use Firefox). That way, when I need to provide a link to someone I'm replying to, I can quickly find the item I want them to be able to link to.
I also bookmark discussions that have links in them that I may want to use, and tag them so I can find them later.
I have to say, however, that for Apple Support Pages, the best solution for me has been to have my Apple Folder with my personally named bookmarks in Firefox. Easy to find, easy to cut and paste into a discussion on a separate window, easy to reference when I need to know something.
Again, don't know if you even wanted to know any of that, but thought I'd share!
Cheers,
GB

Can't send texts to one person but can receive from them

I am having problems sending text messages to a single number, which is also on Verizon, although I can receive texts from that number just fine. When I try to send to them, or respond to the ones I get from them, it shows up as sent on my phone like everything is fine. The other person never gets the message though.
I have checked and they are not blocked. I can make and receive calls to this person and I can receive texts from them. It's just I can not send texts to them although my phone says they are sent.
So far it's only this one phone number that is affected. I can text my other contacts just fine.
I have tried taking out the battery. I tried calling *228 and my phone just says "Call not sent". I'm on a Galaxy Nexus.
Any other ideas that I can try myself or am I down to having to go stop in a store and see what they can do about it?

I tried adding a 1 before the area code but I have yet to get a response but I'm at work right now so I will call and check if the person got it when I go out for lunch. I will update on whether or not that worked.
I doubt the person blocked me for multiple reasons. 1 - I live with them, we get along great and we normally text each other daily while at work. 2 - I have had someone on my account block a friend of mine before as a joke and when that person was blocked and tried to text me it told them it couldn't send. It didn't just say sent and never make it. And as I said, this person is also on Verizon so I assume it would work the same if they blocked someone.

Can I soft proof in LR4 like I can in PS CS5?

I haven't used LR 4 yet, but did view the soft-proofing tutorial.
I applaud Adobe for adding this functionality in LR4. It was one of the most obvious lacking features in the previous version, and I've still been mostly doing all my printing through PS CS5.
While soft-proofing is not a perfect replacement for test printing, I've been mostly satisfied with proofing in CS5.
Proofing in LR4 seems a little different, but by using a virtual copy it looks like if I use my printer/paper profile I should theoretically be able to not only be able to deal with color gamut issues, but also adjust contrast & brightness to more closely match my original developed image, and could compare the original with virtual copy in compare mode. Is it that simple? And if so, why is there a contrast & brightness adjustment in the Print module? That latter adjustment would be similar to what one goes through in PS CS5 when soft-proofing prior to printing. However, why have it if it can be done in the Develop module......and regardless, from the video tutorial it looks like you can't preview the image after making those adjustments in the print module nor compare it with the original......thus forcing one to make multiple prints until the result is satisfactory.
Just seems to me there is a bit more tweaking to do in LR4 to make the soft-proofing more functional. Or, perhaps I'm too stuck with the paradigm set forth for soft-proofing in PS and need someone to clarify how I can achieve the same result in LR just as confidently.

BTW, I've benefited immensly from your and Martin's Evenings books.......you've never steered me wrong.
Thanks for the kind words...but LR4's soft proofing is worth the effort to use. It really is better than Photoshop's soft proofing. I'm still on the fence regarding VCs vs Snapshots for soft proofing It's a tossup but the VC part has been built in while making a snapshot wasn't.
The advantage of LR4's soft proofing is you get the ability to do a Before/After while still using the full range of LR4's controls to adjust the printed version. Makes it really easy to nail great print (assuming you have good print profiles).
As for the Print module Brightness and Contradt...that's really a special case that doesn't involved color managed output. It's a crutch for those who don't have a locked down system. It's east to tweak but you have to make example prints since the controls don't actually display but only impact the output. I tend to avoid that.

How can you modify / customize radio stations like you can with Pandora?

Hi all, I'd like to customize radio stations to add artists, but the only option I'm seeing is to follow artists. Can you customize radio stations in Spotify like you can with Pandora? I didn't find anything on the boards for this. And also, how do you delete radio stations? I'm not finding Spotify to be very intuitive. Thanks in advance!

Totally agree...I am on the 30 day premuim trial and will cancel. Why would I pay $10 a month for a piece a softwate that won't let me make basic modifications...like deleting a created radio station that I sdon't like or don't want attatched to my profile anymore. Rookie bull**bleep**. You gotta do better to cmpete.You can always just not listen to that channel; I keep adding new ones all the time. I admit it would me nice to be able to delete radio stations, but there are many other issues that need tackling first. IMHO. You're not paying for the software. The radio feature is secondary to the extensive library.

How can I continue text into column on next page in the new Pages?

In the previous version of Pages if your text exceeded the length of the column, there was a little icon to the right of the column where you could click to have the remaining text continue to another column on another page. I don't see any option to continue the text once you've run out of space. How can this be done in the new verio

I get no sound when I play games on my iPhone 5s with just the speaker but headphone it works. Music works both ways. What do I need to do so I can hear my game without headphones like I can my music

When playing games on my iphone 5s I can't hear any sound but if I play music from where ever it works. If I put on headphones I can hear the game would like it to work with sound with out them too what did I do to mess up my phone help please

Hello tiffay8,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're not getting any audio output from your speakers when you're playing games. Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

Can one SPLIT or FREEZE PANES like one can in Excel?

In Excel one can SPLIT PANES or FREEZE PANES.
Is it possible to do anything similar to this in Numbers 08?
Or in any previous version of Numbers?

Sheer,
No, we can not freeze or split panes. And, this is the first version of Numbers. Perhaps in a later version...
By the way, Pages does something very similar to Excel's Print Titles that you may find an acceptable substitute. See 'Using a Table Header Row or Column' in Numbers User Guide, page 69.

I am having a hard time browsing apps. Everything seems to be sub-categorized but I can't browse by sub-category like I can on my phone.

I am having a hard time browsing the app store on my iPad. I just got it and I can't figure out how to browse for example adventure games. On my android phone I can go into the app store, click on games, I can look at a list of subcategories such as arcade or board games. They are then sorted by release date or popularity. I can't seem to do that with the iPad app store. Hopefully someone can shed some light on how to do this.
Thanks :)

You can choose a Category.

HT4059 Can you Purchase iBooks as gifts like you can in App Store?

It's not currently possible to gift ibooks, so the option won't appear

Re: text to columns error
You have four columns selected when you call text to columns, so ...
Replace the word "Selection" with Range("A1:A300") so it looks like...
Range("A1:A300").TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
The above is my guess as to what you want to work with; I didn't experiment with the rest of the code.

Column Headers - Can't Change Text Orientation

In Excel I am able to change the column header row text orientation so that I can have long text headers for both my rows and columns. With pages, my text can only be horizontal, which make a spread sheet with long column names very wide, even though the data in each cel is perhaps one or two digits.
The only solution I have found is placing a text box over the top of the column header cel for each column, but doing this makes it impossible to use the text from the column header in a calculation or in an export or merge of any kind.
If there is something I am missing, please let me know. Otherwise, please consider this a feature request. It seems like a very obvious oversight on the features in Numbers.

This feature is not available in Numbers. If you'd like to request this feature to Apple then from Numbers' Main Menu select "Provide Numbers Feedback."

Can i search a document for text in column a to return the entire row if column a matches in a separate sheet?

Can i search multiple sheets in a document for text in column a to return the entire row if column a matches in a
separate sheet?

Thank you, Barry. That was helpful, and am hopeful that what I want to do is possible.
I am creating a spreadsheet that currently has 20 sheets, of which certain sheets have more than one table. I will be adding more sheets. I would like to return results for all occurences of the search string. Preferably into a seperate spreadsheet. It would be perfect if that seperate sheet updated whenever I update information in the first spreadsheet. To give an example:
Sheet:     baskets
     Tables:         straw
                         wire
Sheet:      barware
     Tables:          glasses
                          decanters
                          coasters
My tables all have the same titiels:
Vendor      Description     Cost     Selling Price
Since I will have upwards of 100 sheets, with multiple tables, and most of my vendors will fit into multiple sheet categories, it would be helpful if I could also see what my order will be from each vendor, not just who I will be ordering each item from. How would I do that?
I hope I conveyed that properly.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Rana
