How do I scroll one line at a time in Lion?

I want to upgrade to Lion but need the functionality of the scroll bar arrows. I have learned that the functionality of the arrows is part of the core operating system and is not being replaced. Any suggestions as to any add-on devices that would allow this function?
Thanks,
Rich

If the program/window is not a text-based one (such as a word processor), you can usually use the up and down arrow keys to scroll up or down one line at a time.
There are often mods to this behavior, but exactly what depends on the program. Test with the up and down arrow keys in conjunction with the usual modifier keys - Shift, Command, Option, etc.

How can I display one line at a time on a PPT slide

I am using OFFICE for the Mac (2008).
In the past, I have known how to do this using PPT on a Windows PC..
But something has changed and I can no longer figure out how to get each line on a PPT slide to appear one line at a time every time I click it.
It's not that difficult, but I can't figured out where they moved the "Appear" option.
I am NOT using KEYNOTE, but PowerPoint from OFFICE for the Mac (2008)
Can someone help me.
Thanks,
Tom

Since this is a Keynote discussion forum, there may be no one here that knows. I personally hate PP and could care less about how to make one line display at a time. It is easy on Keynote and that is all I need to know. You might want to look for a PP forum and ask there.

How do I get Firefox to go back to scrolling one line at a time with the up/down arrow keys? I noticed this changed in Firefox 10 and I actually preferred the one line at a time, can this be an option in future releases?

The title says it all, I'm not really sure if this is the proper place to post this as it's not a "bug" per se. I noticed on the list of bugs "fixed" in Firefox 10 scrolling more than one line with the arrow keys was one of them. I know a lot of people hated the one-line thing too so I'd suggest in future releases it should be a preference we can change.

You can right-click either Back or Forward button to open the tab history list.

How do you advance one line at a time (text) within each slide?

In PowerPoint you can either present an entire slide at one time or make each bulleted line in the slide appear line by line as you click the mouse button.
I cannot figure out how to do this in Captivate. I am only able to advance an entire slide at one time.

The easiest way would be to import the slides from PowerPoint using the high-fidelity import setting (assuming you're using Captivate 7 with a PC and a newer version of PowerPoint).
The "all-Captivate" way is to make several full-slide transparent "buttons" that display one after the other, play for a set period of time, then pause until the next click. You'd then adjust the text box duration in the timeline, and add effects (if desired). (You could also use "continue" buttons, but full-slide buttons would better duplicate the PowerPoint behavior.)

How do I scroll more than one line at a time in Firefox 4? Scrolling with down-up keyboard arrows is much faster in IE/Chrome.

I have tried using about:config options mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines > false and custom set mousewheel.withnokey.numlines, but it makes a difference only when I use a mouse, which I don't use most of the time on this laptop. I use down/up keyboard errors to scroll, and the page scrolls one-line-at-a-time, very slow and lagging. Is there a way around this?
I have reinstalled Chrome as secondary browser only because of this, FF4 otherwise really kicksass. Thank you for an amazing browser and any feedback on my issue.

Well I am using those, but it is not very practical. What puzzles me is that only Firefox has this behaviour, I have tried last versions of IE, Chrome, Opera - all three scroll much faster than Firefox 4 using down/up keyboard arrows.
Thanks for the reply, I really hope to get a solution to this.

Reading in one line at a time.

How can I read one line at a time?
String sData = "One large string"
StringReader reader = new StringReader(sData);
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
String line = "";
while ((line = reader.toString()) != null) {//This line does not read one line at a time. Is it possible to do the with StringReader?
StringTokenizer tok = new StringTokenizer(line, "|");
Thanks:0)

The following code snippet does what you want :-)
        String test = new String("testString \n with \n multiple lines");
        StringReader strReader = new StringReader(test);
        BufferedReader strBufRdr = new BufferedReader(strReader);
        String line = null;
        try {
            while((line=strBufRdr.readLine())!=null) {
                System.out.println(line);
        catch(IOException e) { System.out.println(e); }Have fun!

How can I scroll one full page at a time using the mouse wheel?

I've had this problem for 3 years now. When I nudge my scroll wheel (IntelliMouse Optical) one notch forward or back, Safari moves 1/4 of a page up or down. How can I get one nudge of the scroll wheel to move one full page up or down? Firefox has an add-on, SmoothWheel, that can be set to a full page. Are there any options for doing this in Safari, without having to go to the keyboard? I tried Smart Wheel, no setting for that.
Any ideas? thanks
p.s. Please don't tell me to get another mouse, I've tried dozens of them and the old IntelliMouse Optical is the best one for me. (I'm also stuck on an ancient Apple M2980 keyboard. I love those old keyboards.)

I can't use the keyboard to scroll. I need to keep my hand on the mouse, otherwise I'd never get anything done. Since I have no problem getting Firefox to scroll one page at a time, and I'm constantly jumping between 3 browsers, it would be nice to be able to scroll a full page at a time in Safari, just like I can in Firefox. Thanks.

How do I download one app at a time in itunes or appstore

Utility to send text file over GPIB, one line at a time?

We are developing instrumentation that receives data and commmands over GPIB as plain text, and returns them as well. I'd like to create GPIB "batch" files and send them over the bus, one line at a time, so I can debug the instruments' behavior. I'd also like to be able to read back responses, one line at a time.
Is there such a utility? I've got our programmer working on something like this, but I'd hate to have him re-invent an existing wheel.
Thanks!

Apart from NI-SPY, I have not heard of such a utility. This may be simple to implement using proper termination. If the instrument is capable of sending line feeds or carriage return, you should be able to easily create a document. Also, using IBWRTF, you could write the ASCII file (containing the termination characters) to the bus. Depending on how you have your timeouts specified, this may be ideal.
Alternately, if you read a static amount of data, you could IBRD chunks of data. the result may need editing for broken words at the end of a line but would achieve such a result.

Photo printing slow one line at a time

My first time printing phots on my Officejet 4620 and it is taking 20 minutes per picture one line at a time. Very frustrated. Call the help line and was told tht how this printer works.....

Many things can affect printing photos. Wireless connectivity (if applicable), paper size, print quality, software used to print the photo, printer design optimization (photo printer vs. office printer), security software used on your computer, etc.....
That being said, this photo printing document may offer some information of benefit:

Make image appear one line at a time

I have an image of a seashell that I created in Photoshop.
It's just black and white outline of an image. What I want to do is
reveal this seashell image one line at a time. I tried creating
motion paths but only part of the image is visible at any given
time, the image doesn't get revealed toward the end. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
To give an idea of what I mean, this link here will show
that:

. Once on the page click on the link "Type Drawing" next to the
words Typography:
Thank you,

I'd suggest masking the image layer and then using whatever
form of animation (tweens, brute force, etc) works best to reveal
the image through the mask. If the image is organic in nature (and
assuming that you don't just want to reveal it top to bottom like a
scan) then probably hand drawing onto the mask frame-by-frame is
the best way (although this adds a lot of keyframes).

Fillable pdf's returned by clients are readable only one line at a time

We have been emailing fillable pdf questionnaires to our customers for them to complete and return via email. When some of them have come
back, they are only viewable one line at a time, we need to highlight the fillable field that the customer completed so we can view their answer.
Does anyone know why this occurs and why it would be isolated to a few cases? Thanks!
George

They were probably filled-in and saved with the Preview application on the Mac. For more information and some approaches you can take to correct, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

Listbox one line at a time

I want to add one line at a time in listbox/textbox just like InsertTextboxLine funtion in CVI. I can not find similar VI in labview. I think I can do it long way...by saving listbox to an array then append my line at the end of the array and send updated array to listbox..these are lot of steps to add one line to listbox/textbox...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Actually, the way to append an item to a list box is to create an Item Names property node for the list box. Then you can use Insert Into Array, and write to another property node for Item Names.

How do I restore one contact from my Time Machine?

How do I restore one contact from my Time Machine?

From Time Machine Help:
Restore items backed up with Time Machine
If you use Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can easily bring back lost items or recover older versions of files.
You can use Time Machine within many apps. If the iCloud Documents & Data feature is turned on, you can recover older versions of iCloud documents as well as regular documents.
Open a window for the item you want to restore.For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. To recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail. To recover an iCloud document, open the document’s app, choose File > Open, then click iCloud to view the iCloud documents for that app.
If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
From the Time Machine menu in the menu bar, choose Enter Time Machine. A message may appear while your Mac connects to the backup disk.
Use the arrows and timeline to browse the snapshots and backups.White tick marks represent snapshots stored on your internal drive (portable computers only). Pink tick marks represent backups stored on your backup disk. If a tick mark appears dimmed or grayed, there’s no backup available or the backup disk is not connected.
For more information about an item, double-click it.The windows in Time Machine behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
When you find the item you want to restore, select it, then click Restore. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk.The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it is returned to the Documents folder.
Many apps let you use Time Machine within individual documents so you can examine and read the document’s past versions to find the version you want. For more information, see:
View and restore past versions of documents

My mouse scrolls shows each line moving up instead of moving one line at a time annoying

Since downloading firefox 3.6 when I scroll down a page it shows each line moving up instead of just moving one line up its very annoying

It could be that there is not enough memory in the printer or the print server to hold the entire document while printing. The printer gets Postscript files, which are larger than the original document. Also, if you are doing multiple copies, if you collate the pages, that takes more memory than printing each page multiple times.
