Edit an Excel file in Numbers '09 and save to Excel

When I open an excel file with numbers and then make a change, I can't simply save the file by pressing command-s because that brings up the "saving as" dialog.
Is there a reason why this is happening? Can't Numbers just overwrite the existing excel file?
It's not a huge inconvenience buy an unnecessary one.

Like most applications, Numbers assumes you want to save in the native format for that application. If you want to open, edit and save in MS Excel format, logic would suggest that your best course would be to use MS Excel.
That said, it's probably possible to write an AppleScript that would perform the steps necessary to do what you want with only a single menu choice needed.
Or you could export (rather than Save) the file. That's a menu choice plus three click process, though.

  • I edited a .nef file in Camera Raw and PSE 11 saved it as a .xmp file.  I cannot open it now.

    I edited a .nef file in Camera Raw and PSE 11 saved it as a .xmp file.  I cannot open it now.
    I am not sure if this is an issue but Windows does not recognize the .xmp file and give it an icon with the photo's picture.  On a related note, when I edited some .nef files and Windows saved it as .dng file, it too, like the .xmp file, Windows does not recognize the .dng file and give it an icon with the photo's picture.
    Do I need to download something to create this icon?

    PSE didn't save your file as an .xmp file. The .xmp file is not the image--that's still the .nef. The xmp file is what adobe calls a 'sidecar' file, just a record of the settings you used in the raw converter. As long as it's in the same place as the image, when you open the nef in ACR again, it will open where you left off, with the settings you chose.
    If you want to save as, you have two choices:
    1. Click the Open button in the raw converter window and save in the image format of your choice.
    2. Use the Save button in the raw converter to create a separate DNG file, which still must be opened in the raw converter and converted to an image format for use in other programs.

    Then it's probably YouTube - have you checked here to see that you're watching the hi res version? It could be that YouTube is choosing an easier version to display based on your internet connection.
    You can see on this screenshot that although the video has up to 1080 specs, my connection is making YouTube show me the 360p version by default.

    I edit them in Lightroom. Then the little symbol appears in the bottom of the thumbnail in the film strip at the bottom of the LR screen. Then, a few minutes later, the symbol is gone. I then click on one or more of the thumbnails and the image opens in the main screen. However, all of the sliders on the right are at their defaults, and the image is back in its unedited state. Last night, for a while, the edits reappeared, but tonight they were gone again. I just recently downloaded Camera Raw 8.5. I wonder if that is the problem.
    What little symbol?  Do you mean the up-arrow symbol that appears top-right of grid or film strip images?  This indicates that the image has been edited by another program.
    Or do you mean the "+/-" symbol that appears bottom right?.  This appears after editing, but if it disappears subsequently without you doing anything, it sounds like something nasty is happening to the catalogue or image xmp file on disk. 
    Lightroom doesn't use ACR (8.5 or any other version) - it has the same functions built-in.  ACR is used only by Photoshop.  Are you opening the images in ACR in Photoshop?

  • Edit tab-separated file in Numbers

    I'm racking my brains, how in 21st century I can edit tsv file (stored as .txt) with such a powerful program suite as iWorks
    I can open the file in Numbers, but I don't see the option to save it as text, which is very confusing...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Don’t drown yourselves in a glass of water, use this script :
    --{code}
    --[SCRIPT numbers-table-to-text-file]
    Select at least one cell in the table to export as text.
    Run the script.
    You will get the text file "was-in-numbers.txt" on the Desktop.

  • File Server - File size\type search and save results to file

    I already have a vb script to do what I want on our file server, but it is very inefficient and slow.  I was thinking that a powershell script may be more suitable now but I don't know anything about scripting in PS.  So far the vb code that I
    have works, and I am not the one who wrote it but I can manipulate it to do what I want it to.  The only problem is, when I scan the shared network locations it stops on some files that are password protected and I don't know how to get around it.  If
    someone else knows of a PS script to go through the file system and get all files of a certain type or size (right now, preferably size) and save the file name, size, path, owner and dates created\modified please point me to it and I can work with that.  If
    not, could I get some help with the current script that I have to somehow get around the password protected files?  They belong in a users' HOME directory so I can't do anything with them.  Here is my code:

    Accessing Excel through automation is bvery slow no matter what tool you use.  Scanning a disk is very slow for all tools.
    Since Vista all system have a search service that catalogues all major file itmes like size, extension, name and other attributes.  A search of a 1+Tb  volume can return in less that a second if you query the search service.
    You can easily batch the result into Excel by writ4ing to a CSV and opening in Excel. Use a template to apply formats.
    Example.  See how fast this returns results.
    #The following will find all log files in a system that are larger than 10Mb
    $query="SELECT System.ItemName, system.ItemPathDisplay, System.ItemTypeText,System.Size,System.ItemType FROM SystemIndex where system.itemtype='.log' AND system.size > $(10Mb)"
    $conn=New-Object -ComObject adodb.connection
    $conn.open('Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties="Application=Windows";')
    $rs=New-Object -ComObject adodb.recordset
    $rs.open($query, $conn)
    do{
    $p=[ordered]@{
    Name = $rs.Fields.Item('System.ItemName').Value
    Type = $rs.Fields.Item('System.ITemType').Value
    Size = $rs.Fields.Item('System.Size').Value
    New-Object PsObject -Property $p

  • Extract All Embedded Files in All Folders and Save Each? Copy/Paste from PDF to Word?

    I have most of what I need here, but I’m missing 2 important pieces. 
    #1)  I want to copy/paste from all PDF files in a folder and paste the copied data into a single Word file. 
    It works fine if I have ONLY Word docs in my folder.  When I have PDF files and Word files, the contents of the Word files are copied in fine, but the contents of the PDF files seem to come in as Chinese, and there is no Chinese in
    the PDF, so I have no idea where that’s coming from.
    #2)  I want to extract all embedded files (in all my Word files) and save the extracted/opened file into the folder.  Some embedded files are PDFs and some are Excel files.
    Here the code that I’m working with now.
    Sub Foo()
    Dim i As Long
    Dim MyName As String, MyPath As String
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Documents.Add
    MyPath = "C:\Users\001\Desktop\Test\" ' <= change this as necessary
    MyName = Dir$(MyPath & "*.*") ' not *.* if you just want doc files
    On Error Resume Next
    Do While MyName <> ""
    If InStr(MyName, "~") = 0 Then
    Selection.InsertFile _
    FileName:="""" & MyPath & MyName & """", _
    ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, _
    Attachment:=False
    Dim Myshape As InlineShape
    Dim IndexCount As Integer
    IndexCount = 1
    For Each Myshape In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
    If Myshape.AlternativeText = PDFname Then

    If this has to be done using 2 Macros, that’s fine. 
    If I can do it in 1, that’s great too.
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    Hi ryguy72,
    >>When I have PDF files and Word files, the contents of the Word files are copied in fine, but the contents of the PDF files seem to come in as Chinese, and there is no Chinese in the PDF, so I have no idea where that’s coming from.<<
    Based on the code, you were insert the file via the code Selection.InsertFile. I am trying to reproduce this issue however failed. I suggest that you insert the PDF file manually to see whether this issue relative to the specific file. You can insert PDF
    file via Insert->Text->Object->Text from file.
    If this issue also could reproduced manually, I would suggest that you reopen a new thread in forum to narrow down whether this issue relative to the specific PDF file or Word application.
    >> I want to extract all embedded files (in all my Word files) and save the extracted/opened file into the folder.  Some embedded files are PDFs and some are Excel files.<<
    We can save the embedded spreadsheet via Excel object model. Here is an example that check the whether the inlineshape is an embedded workbook and save it to the disk for you reference:
    If Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.ClassType = "Excel.Sheet.12" Then
    Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.DoVerb xlPrimary
    Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Object.SaveAs "C:\workbook1.xlsx"
    Application.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Object.Close
    End If
    And since the Word object model doesn't provide API to save the embedded PDF, I would suggest that you get more effective response from PDF support forum to see whether it supports automation. If yes, we can export the PDF as embedded spreadsheet like code
    absolve.
    Hope it is helpful.

  • How to search files, get cells, loop, and save

    Howdy Folks, I'm another Applescript newbie in over my head. I'm working on a script to copy xl files into a master xl file. the files is a roster with student and class information. the number of students will vary. WIth help from a friend I have it about 80% where I want it. Need help with the rest. I hope its okay to ask multiple question about the script if not i do apoligize.
    when the script runs it asks for the location of the file. the files are titled Houston_Sam_DWI_Jan.xlsx. I have several files in a master folder that i am trying to get data from, but the script goes through one at a time.
    I know i need to loop it somehow to go through all of the files containing "DWI" in the title, I just don't know how to do it.
    the script is set up to get a range of cells, but there are other individual cells i need to copy like dates(C7), Instructor(H7), and location(C11). How do i get these individual cells and paste them to the master doc: Location(E7), Dates (F7), Instructor(G7) and have them repeat down the column as the number of students from each of the classes populates the list.
    finally, i have the master file name as annual report, the script does update the anual report file, but when it goes to save it creates a file named "sheet 1". i just want it to update the annual report file and save all changes.
    here is the script i am currently working with:
    set master_path to alias "Users:bs:Desktop:master:Annual Report.xlsx"
    get_all_files(master_path)
    on get_all_files(master_path)
              set example_path to choose file with prompt "Find an example file to work with"
    transfer_data(example_path, master_path)
    end get_all_files

                        set master to worksheet 1 of (open workbook workbook file name (master_path as string))
                        set num to 15 --All lists start at index 12 or later, I'm putting 10 to be safe
                        set students to {}
                        tell child_doc --grab values from child document
                                  repeat until (value of cell (("A" & num) as string)) is 1
                                            set num to num + 1
                                  end repeat

  • When downloading a file from google drive and save in my phones document directory,the file size is compressed. Why?

    I have downloaded files from "Dropbox" and save in phones document directory,After downloading in document directory,the size of the download file is same as the actual size in dropbox. I can also open it from document directory.Everything is ok. But when I follow the same process for google drive files, the file size is compressed(if actual size of file is 1.2Mb the download file size is 61Kb). So I can not open it from document directory.So, How can i download the actual size of the file in document directory? I am using google api objectivec client for google drive.
    Thanks in advance.

    If an iphone were to try to download a full size document ot photo, it woul overload its own ram, and crash, resulting in a laggy iphone. Therefore it is compresses

  • How do I create files in Captivate 6 and save them in a lower version?

    I have Captive 6 at home and at work we are using 5.5.with no plans to upgrade.  How do I create or edit in Captivate 6 and still save files so my coleagues can contribute using the software we are given at work?

    Only between 6 and 7 this is possible, not with previous versions. And even between 6 and 7 you can have weird things happening. It has nothing to do with being a normal file or a template, I don't know why you tell that?
    OP was talking about 5.5 and 6, and there this is NOT possible at all.

  • How to open illustrator file (.ai) using Indesign and save it as XML

    I know how to open a Illustrator file (.ai) in Indesign.
    It would be like :
    1 ) Save your Illustrator file as AI. This Native format is most compatible with InDesign.
    2 )  Go to -> InDesign, click on your document using your  Frame Rectangle tool (the one with the X through it).
    3 )  Fill in the desired size (can be adjusted later).
    5 ) Go to File menu > Place.
    6 )  Find and select the Illustrator file in the window that opens.
    7 ) Click the Open button.
    Adjust size, & position of your image using the Direct Selection tool (white arrow), and the cropping with the Seclection tool (black arrow.
    Now I want to save this file as XML.
    After that,  I say
    1 )  File -> Export
    But this file saves as XML only shows he the root element nothing else.
    Every time , this shows like
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <Root></Root>
    Nothing is there as contents.
    Can anyone let me know, is it possible to store .AI file as XML.
    My requirement is simple, i want to store the .ai file as XML.
    Some how I am using Indesign to do so . Can any body help.
    Thanks,

    Copy and paste is again seems same as 'Place the file'  , it wouldn't help again.
    Copy( from Illustrator) and paste( it in Indesign) and  later saving\exporting as XML again create the same the XML file with no data . Just a XML structure,
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
    <Root />
    RRegarding using the FXG and SVG file .. saving these formats to XML does not shows the Co-ordinates in XML formats.
    I do I would like to have the coordinates (x,y) so that later on , if required I can change the coordinates and display the Image or Text in the file. As this is a requirement for business card.
