Selecting all "similar" text - is it possible?

I have a feeling this isn't possible but i thought best go ahead and ask anyway...
I have converted a document from Quark (gasp!) to InDesign. All has gone well except the leading is a bit too close. The character styles haven't been correctly brought through from Quark so it's not simply a case of changing those, and i was thinking, you know the way in Illustrator for example you can select all items with the same colour stroke or fill and then change all accordingly, is there a way of selecting all the text with the same properties or am i going to have to go through every little text box in this 800 page document and change all the leading one by one?!

You should have used Paragraph Styles instead of character styles.
Use a Paragraph Style for whole paragraphs of text (even if one line) and use Character styles to give attributes to single characters/word(s) withing a paragraph.
With everything having Paragraph Styles you can have Space Above and Space Below attributes for the paragraphs.
If you want to give everything Paragraph styles, then select a paragraph and make a new paragraph style.
Search for your Body character style and replace it with your Pargraph style.

Select all the text on a page by touching an area that is white space

I have read that you can select all the text on a page by touching an area that is white space, for example at the edge of a column. Sometimes this works for me, but most of the time it does not. Should it? Is there more to it? Is this a documented gesture?
I want to be able to select all the text in a long page, where it would be very tedious to drag the copy handles. This would be the equivalent of CMD A on a computer.

Yea, thanks, I've read that. It doesn't cover selecting all the text in one gesture, which is what I want to be able to do. This doesn't seem to be covered.
I've been fooling around since I wrote the first post, and discovered that if you tap and hold to display the selection buttons (as noted in your quote) and then drag one of the blue selection buttons to the top (or bottom) of the text, then the other button will jump to the bottom (or top) and you have effectively selected all the text. This is what I wanted to do.
The reason I wanted to do it is so I can select all the text in an article that I want to read, then copy and paste it into an app I just got, Speak it!, and then have the app read me the article while I get some exercise riding my stationary bike.

Hi All,

so now i want retrieve all emp name* columns data with out selecting each one is there any short cut?
i have tried with rtrim but i am unable to get it. Could any body help me in this regard.
Thanks,

i guess you will need to create a dynamic query probably a reference cursor
create or replace function fnc_columns (pTable varchar2, pColumn varchar2, pReqId number)
return sys_refcursor as
c sys_refcursor;
vColumn := varchar2(2000);
begin
for col_rec in (select column_name from all_tab_columns
                   where column_name like 'ARGUMENT%'
                     and table_name = 'FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS'
                     and owner = 'FND') loop
    vColumn := vColumn ||col_rec||',';
end loop;
--removes the last comma
vColumn := substr(vColumn,1,instr(vColumn,',',-1)-1);
open c for 'SELECT '||vColumn||' FROM '||pTable||
             'WHERE REQUEST_ID = '||pReqId;
return c;
end;
/note: untested
or you might want to use another method such as [EXECUTE IMMEDIATE|http://www.psoug.org/reference/nds.html]

Script to select all overflow text frames and fit them to content?

I have a document with several text frames that have overset text, due to replacing a font. I was looking for a script that would:
1. find all the text frames that have overset text
2. apply "fit frame to content" command for each of these
Can anyone please help me here? I'm trying to learn scripting but some of these things still confuse me. Thanks.

hi,
give a try to this js code:
var _d = app.documents[0];
var _allStories = _d.stories;
for(var n=_allStories.length-1;n>=0;n--){
var _storyAllTextFrames = _allStories[n].textContainers;
for(var m=_storyAllTextFrames.length-1;m>=0;m--){
_storyAllTextFrames[m].select();
            //Fit Frame to Content:
            try{
            app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(11291).invoke();
                }catch(e){};

Is there any way to select all italicised text in Pages?

I've got a long document in Pages (about 30 pages so far) and I'm looking for a way to select all the italicised text at once, so that I could change its colour.
Is there any way to do this?
Cheers

Only if you have used a character style to italicise the words. If you have that you can change one of the word to a chosen colour and all words with that style will get the new colour

Select all text boxes (help)

I will try to explain this as best I can, bare with me.
I'm using Acrobat X 10 and I'm trying to print a PDF file that are slides from one of my university classes. The problem I'm having is that some of the text is not printing or printing very lightly. I have solved this problem by going to the tools panel and then edit document text tool. From there I select a text box, select all text in said text box, select properties, click on the text tab and then changing the fill from white to black(following so far?). Now my issue is that there are many text boxes, to the point where only one word occupies a text box. So what I'm wondering is if there is a way to select all the text boxes so I can do this proccess for the whole file rather than selecting each text box and repeating the proccess, as this is very time consuming.
Any help is appreciated.

Why don't you see if your printer driver has an option for printing B&W (not grey or greyscale), that might do the trick.

How do you selected all text boxes in a document

Say you have 100 pages in a document and you have a threaded text box placed on pages 1 through 100. How do you selected all the text boxes at the same time? You might do this to change the size of the boxes, or lock all of the boxes, or apply an object style to all of the boxes.

Depending upon how well your document is set up though, layout adjustment might work.
If changing text box size is on your agenda, and every text box is lying exactly on guides, then layout adjustment might work.
The only way I can think of to lock all frames in a story, or to change the size of all text frames in a story, would be to write a Javascript. And, even after years of practice, I know that it'd still be faster for me to just step through the document and make the changes by hand than it would be to bang my head against Javascript for n hours before I found a good solution.
Barring these exceptions, I think that Bob's statement
You don't because you can't.
is actually pretty accurate. Terse, maybe, but accurate.

Highlight all Textarea text

Hi Guys
I have several text areas in a VBox called documentContainer. Now, what I want to do is when a user presses the "a" button the text in all the textareas is selected. I have managed to get it to partially work in that it'll select all the text in the current textarea, but it will not select the text in the other textareas. Code below:
if(event.keyCode == 65) {
     for(var i:uint=0; i<documentContainer.numChildren; i++) {
           var taTextSelection:TextArea = documentContainer.getChildAt(i) as TextArea;
           taTextSelection.setSelection(0, taTextSelection.length);

I believe this is how it is done:
var myString:String = "test string";
System.setClipboard(myString);
You might not be able to read the clipboard once set in Flex though. You can in AIR. Here is another example I found on a blog:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        verticalAlign="middle"
        backgroundColor="white">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Alert;
            private function button_click():void {
                System.setClipboard(richTextEditor.text);
                Alert.show("Done");
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true">
        <mx:Button id="button"
                label="Copy text to clipboard"
                toolTip="Click here to copy the contents of the RichTextEditor control to the OS clipboard."
                click="button_click();" />
    </mx:ApplicationControlBar>
    <mx:RichTextEditor id="richTextEditor"
            text="The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
            width="100%"
            height="100%" />
</mx:Application>

Mail Subject Line Automatically Selects All Text When Typing

In Mail I'm typing along in a subject line and randomly the all of text I've entered becomes selected. Then my next keystroke deletes the first entered text. Very frustrating, and I can't figure out why this happens. Maybe OSX's spell checker? How do I turn that off to test?

The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

The font i used in my KEYNOTE presentation is not available when you upload it to the cloud. So, now my text boxes are all messed up. How can I select ALL font boxes of presentation and change (at least) the font style?

I have a large presentation that I need to access from the cloud THIS SATURDAY. Now, after uploading from my iMac to Cloud, the font is all messed up because the font I selected on my mac is NOT available on the Keynote Cloud....so capitalization is wrong, inconsistent, etc.
Is there a quick way to select all text and change the style? Help..I am running out of time!

What's the URL of the page?
In the mean time clear the cache and reload the page.

Selecting all "similar" text - is it possible?
