Easiest way to find & replace fonts?

I need to replace a font in my document w/Arial, and I don't know the easiest way to go about it.
For some reason I assumed there was a simple "Find & Replace" method, like in InDesign or Quark, but I can't seem to find it.
I've tried the "Find/Change" > "Character Format" tool, but it doesn't seem to work...Any suggestions?

Use the Paragraph Designer to make the change at the tag level by specifying Arial instead of whatever is in use.
If you have a number of tags, you can select them all in the document and then use a global command in the Para Designer to apply the new font to all selected tags.
If you have a book, once you've got a chapter set up, import the updated formats too all chapters by selecting them in the book file and Importing Formats to them with the edited chapter as your source.

Is there any way to find missing fonts in graphics through JS?

Is there any way to find missing fonts in images through JS? InDesign automatically substitutes the alternate fonts while trying to fetch through JS so unable to find the font status.

Hi UDevp,
in InDesign CS4 you might check the results of the preflight instead looking for used fonts and their status.
At least you should get the names of missing fonts.

Hi:
You can not use the X$KCCDI scn for the recovery purposes. THis is database SCN not the transaction SCN. Get the Transaction SCN from either X$KTUXE or V$TRANSACTION.

Is there a way to Find & Replace within a selection?

I looked in the User Guide, but I didn't find any information on how to Find & Replace just within selected text. I can see how to do it for the entire document or do it one instance at a time. Is there a trick I'm missing, or is this a missing feature?

Hey Chuck,
I opened Pages and used its help menu and came up with this. It does not specifically mention anything about choosing just 1 paragraph or text box, but I hope it helps you none the less.

Easiest way to find and remove duplicate files?

My wife is a photographer and she's terrible at file management. Consequently she has duplicate versions of images stashed all over her almost full hard drive. What is the easiest waty to find duplicates of files so that I can get rid of them? Any freeware out there that does something like that? This would be for her Intel-based macbook pro running Tiger.

Having spent several hours a few days ago organizing files, I was intrigued by your question.
I found Singular which is appears to be freeware, for at least the time being. There's a link on the registration page that will register the application for you — I assume Singular has to be running for that to work, but that's just a guess.

After you run Singular and drop files/folders on it, you can double click a duplicate entry and both versions are displayed.
Good luck!

Easiest way to find and download dozens of tunes?

For my Dad's 80th birthday, I'd like to download the number #1 song from his birthday week for each year since 1932.. to play compilation at his birthday prarty. so need to find what they are and then download. Anyone have any ideas on easy - quick way to do this??? Thank you!

The Billboard Hot 100, probably the most commonly-referenced, only goes back to mid-1940 (at that time, it was the "National List of Best Selling Retail Records"). If that would be of help, though, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-one_hits_(United_States)
There's a list of songs from the 30s here:
http://ntl.matrix.com.br/pfilho/html/top1/
but I don't know what their measure of #1 was. But it might be sufficient. These assume you're in the US, of course.
Which songs will be available in the iTunes Store I can't say. There won't be any easy way to find them; you'll just have to search for each one. As you find each one, drag it to a playlist in iTunes. Once that playlist is complete, you can then gift it to him, if he operates his own iTunes Store account, or set one up for him and buy and download the tracks yourself.
Good luck, and regards.

Find/Replace fonts

I have a document that has a contains a font I don't have on my system. Upon opening the document, I'm presented with a screen informing me that this font is missing, and giving me the option to replace it with something similar. When trying to replace the fonts, I get an alert box saying, "Some text was on a locked layer and the font could not be replaced." So I go into the document and maticulously select each piece of text and change it manually. I cannot find any layers that are locked.
After making the changes, I save the file and close it. Then, when I reopen it, I'm still asked to replace a missing font!?! I've gone through every bit of the file and cannot find a single instance in which this "missing" font is used.
Does Illustrator have some slick way of locating the missing font in the document?
(I'm using Illustrator CS5.5)
Thanks.

You can ulock all layers with on comamnd fomr the layers flyout menu >> unlaock all layer. That command only is availabel if you have a layer locked, otherewise you will nto find that available.
Also do a object >> unlock all. This unlocks any individually locked itmes, regardless of the layer they were on.
1000+ layers: never seen a file with so many layers, someone must have spent alot of time on this file.

Feature Request: Find/Replace fonts

This topic seems to be repeated, abeit in different ways, throughout the forums. I've had my own version of this and am saddened that the only solution is to mess with the APXL file (XML?). I have gone through the entire Keynote file, no luck. But, I do not wish to mess with the APXL file (XML?). Why can't there just be a feature added to do this?? Adobe has this, why not Apple?

Hello,
Thanks very much for your response and for the Apple Feedback URL.
I am referring to the command-F (inline Find) feature, but requesting that it search within both the HTML content on the page and within the form field contents of any forms on a page. So, if there is a form embedded on the page, it would be nice if command-F has the ability to include that text within the search. Currently, Safari only searches the HTML content of the page and does not search text within form fields on the page.
Sorry if I'm not describing the functionality well. Does this explanation make more sense?

The fastest/easiest way to erase/replace photo backgrounds w/ Apple sofware

Hi,
I am taking mostly pictures of my family and most of the files are .jpgs. I like iPhoto '08 very much and its editing capabilities are enough for me. However, occasionally I have the need to erase/replace the background of some photos. I am not sure if / how this can be done in iPhoto?
I do not have the patience or interest to learn Photoshop or the like so I am interested in solutions that are very fast and easy (if they exist). If I cannot use iPhoto for the aforementioned task, would you please recommend something that is intuitive and gets results fast? I do prefer Apple software but I am open to your suggestions. The keywords are: intuitive, fast and not too expensive.
Thank you.

In Preview open the picture. In the toolbar at the topp of the picture window. pick Select a drop down window should appear and *Instant Alpha* is at the bottom of the drop down window.

Is there a way to find out what apps belong to a certain account

I am having problems updating my apps. I love that little Update All button in iTunes but it is rather useless when there is at least one app mixed in that came from another account. When iTunes hits this one app it stops checking all the rest for updates. It also does not tell me which is the offending app. The update all process also seems to go in a seemingly random order making it hard to figure out which app is the hard stop.
What i would like to know is if there is a way for me to find out, without checking this other account's purchase history, which app belongs to what account.
I currently have apps from 4 accounts in my iTunes library and need to wheedle out one accounts apps.
Thanks!
John

Hello Disgustotron,
If you have apps that are stored within iTunes, you can view what Apple ID is associated with them. Just right click on them an in the Summary tab, it will show what account is associated with that app. That will be the easiest way to find what you are looking for.

Easiest way to know the query group name?

Hello All,
This has been nagging at me for quite some time now. Would appreciate you inputs on the ways to find out the query group name for a set of queries we see on the UI.
The obvious method is to search your query group from the list of query groups that system shows when we navigate to Setup->Queries and Reports->Query Groups. Do we have some other ways as well.
Thanks In Advance
Devesh

Hi Devesh,
If you know the query definition then the easiest way to find the query group would be to use "Search Query Groups by Queries Used" query on the Query Groups list page. This query allows you to select a query definition and returns the query group using the query.
Or you could use "Query Group Review" query on the Query Groups list page. This returns all queries within all Query Groups. You can further refine your search by Query Name or Internal Name of the query you are interested in.
If you want to do a general search for all buy-side list page or buy-side picker page query groups, search for <buylist> and <buypick> respectively.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Vikram

Use Find-Replace to paste/wrap Element name?

Hi:
For FrameMaker 7.2, structured.
I'm a longtime *unstructured* FrameMaker who is performing cleanup on some structured FrameMaker documents created by my customer.
One of my tasks is to find all Index markers and applying the IndexMarker element (square-cornered) tag to the markers.
I'm currently using the tedious and slow technique of using Find to locate and select the Index tag, then in the Element catalog clicking "IndexMarker" followed by "Wrap".
I've poked around hoping I could find Copy Special / Paste Special choices that would speed this mousing-intensive chore up, but haven't found any such choices that work.
So -- is there some "intelligent" way to Find / Replace my way through this problem? Even if I manually have to click Replace at every instance, it's faster than what I'm doing...
Cheers & thanks,
Riley

Riley,
As much as I appreciate the unsolicited endorsements, I have to clarify that FrameSLT cannot help you with this task. It can do lots of things associated with structural management, but all of its current capabilities are dependent upon existing structure. More specifically, it requires existing structure to find the items for which it intends to manage, which your current markers do not have. So, while it can do things like element wrapping, it wouldn't be able to find the unstructured markers in order to wrap them.
This would be a reasonably simple task for a custom API client or FrameScript script. If you have zillions of these to do, it might be worth your while to explore that option. If not, Gary's suggestion might be your best bet.

Font changes automatically in Lotus Notes & Excel Find/Replace pops up

I am using Win XP SP3 and FF 14.0.1
I recently (last couple of weeks) noticed that, when FF 14.0.1 is running, the font size, color, bold and bullet will change automatically in Lotus Notes. Sometimes the font changes from normal horizontal to all vertical. And these changes can reverse while I watch or continue trying to type.
Also, in Excel 2007, the Find & Replace box will automatically pop up and keep popping up after I close it.
My IT support suspected Malware on my laptop and loaded & ran Malwarebytes on my laptop and it found two items which I removed. But the problem was still there. Next we reinstalled Office 2007 and Lotus Notes 8.5.1 --- still did not solve the problem.
I began my FF troubleshooting by disabling add-ons one-by-one in the reverse order of addition (newest added was disabled first) until I got to the point before which I previously did not have this problem. But this did not find an offending add-on. (I still have these add-ons disabled.)
Next, I went brute force and restarted FF with '''ALL''' add-ons disabled (using the Help option to do so). This did '''NOT''' fix the problem.
Then I happened to find out that the problem went away -- completely -- if FF was NOT running. I have checked / verified this several times --- somehow FF 14.0.1 certainly appears to be the cause. As I recall I only experienced these issues AFTER I updated to FF 14.0.1
I hope a solution can be found -- otherwise I will no longer be able to use FF at work.

Would be great if files could be attached when questions are being created. I exceeded the max allowed characters when I tried to paste my FF troubleshooting info. So, I had to delete many lines. I saved the info in a file, but no way to attach it before the question is posted.
