Automatic Importing of Text

We are creating a large slide show for an awards ceremony. There are about 70+ slides with the nominees name, name of production, etc.. Is there a way we can import this text automatically into individual slides from a single text file? This would save a TON of work.
Thanks in advance.

I have a similar need. I'm reading on a topic and will soon be collecting notes for a workshop. I typically do this in Word using its outline view. My Keynote will be both less content overall, as well as a shorter writing style for delivery. Will I be able to easily import a Word outline into Keynote in a way that doesn't involve too much tweaking? I own two other Omni products, but not Outliner currently.
Also, if anyone has any other general ideas on linking presos (Keynote, what have you) with a larger body of text, that would be great. Perhaps one idea is to use presenter behind the scenes notes to sort of link up with what goes on screen. Thanks.

Importing Styled Text from Word

For a publication, writers submit stories in Word format, with the Normal paragraph style set to Times New Roman. Within the paragraphs are numerous instances of Italic and Bold.
My InDesign file has the Normal style set to ITC Garamond Light. When importing, the ID style definition for normal replaces that of Word, and the Times New Roman Bold comes in as ITC Garamond Bold. But the TNR Italic produces the Missing Fonts warning, because, of course, there is no ITC Garamond Italic. My solution has been to then run Find Font to replace the one Italic with the other.
But I've been wondering if there might be a more seamless way to replace the font automatically?

When you are importing the text, click "show import options" then click "Customize Style import" and then press "style mapping". A dialog box will come up that let's you map the Word style to your ID style. If there is a style in the list that isn't in your ID file, you can go backwards, and create that style the way you want it. Then, go back to theh import options and map theh styles accordingly.

Importing a text file into a variable

I have a text file that I would like to import as a variable in javascript. I would like to do some editing to the text in the script before I place it into the page. I have the script splitting text into an array and the different parts need to go to different places... I have everything working for me except for importing the text from a file into a variable (right now I'm defining the variable from within the script).
Any help would be appreciated!
-Shane

In Javascript you could use this:
var f = File ('/d/books/mytextfile.txt');
if (f.exists)
f.open ('r', undefined, undefined);
var textfile_contents = f.read();
f.close ();

How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photostream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.

New Photo app on Mac.
How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photo stream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.
With iPhoto every new photo was automatically imported and saved on my local disk (with "full resolution" that's what I only need). In the new photo app I have still my photo stream and when I move a photo (drag and drop from the photo stream) to a new album it indicates a (plus). My understanding is that the photo is now copied to my local disk. But when I deleted the photo in the photo stream it was also deleted in the album !?
If that is the case I can use the photo stream only until I reach the max of 1.000 photos, then I have to delete photos and I will have no copy left.
How can I "physically" copy a photo of the photo stream to my local disk? I just want to "transfer" all pictures taken with Ipads, Iphones to my central storage on the Mac. Please don't propose to connect it via iTunes (cable) to the Mac.
Any other suggestions?
thx

The amazing device cannot do it because no amazing developer has written an app for it. There is some interest, others have asked, but i have a hunch that the market is fairly limited, and no developer has jumped at the chance just yet.
Any sort of tethered approach means try to feed the material to the pad thru the cck. Which means the app would have to use the allowed/existing cck pathway in a manner that does not violate the sandbox rules. That may be the problem.

Is there a way I can have Business Catalyst automatically import product content from Amazon? (e.g. a Web App I could build, perhaps?)

I'm currently building a site using Drupal that is basically a huge book database and book review site. In order to acquire basic information about certain books I'm using an Amazon module that automatically pulls information into my Drupal database (such as author name, page count, publication date, etc.) based on any ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) I enter. It's a pretty nice arrangement. Also, people can click on a link that leads them to the item on Amazon so that they can purchase it and I can collect a puny affiliate commission. Yay Internet!
But I'd like to use Muse and Business Catalyst instead. I was able to create a Web App version of my database but I can't figure out how to 1) automatically import based on ASIN and 2) automatically link each book record in the database to its page on Amazon. Honestly, if I could just get the info into the database alone I'd be happy.
I'm afraid that Adobe would have to create some sort of connection on their end that interfaces with the Amazon API - and therefore there is no way to create such a website now using Muse. But, of course, I don't know everything so I ask you all: is there a way this can happen now?
Thanks for all of your input!

To do stuff like that will always need custom coding and things like API work. You will never be able to use Muse for that, its a basic site design tool that can hook up to BC modules. You will need to use coding software and have custom API work done for things like this.

Is there a way of getting Firefox to automaticly import the Explorer settings upon install?

Hi!
I'm trying to repack Firefox 3.6.3 into a MSI for a deployment install trough-out our organization. Since we're using Explorer as the default browser at the moment our users have all their bookmarks and such stored in Explorer. Now I'm wondering..
Is there a way of getting Firefox to automaticly import the Explorer settings upon install?
-Without having the wizard popup.
I also don't want Firefox to be the default browser since the users have to decide for them self. But atleast they have there bookmarks / defaultpage and proxy settings if they decide to go for Firefox.
Regards

I'm not sure if you have the capability, but did you try copying from your premiere sequence and then pasting into your after fx timeline? i was working with a MUCH shorter video with a mix of merged clips (interview footage) and video clips (b-roll). the video clips imported, but the merged clips did not. i put the timeline cursor to the right point in the after fx timeline, copied the premiere clip from the sequence, pasted it into after fx.

Is there a way to automatically import photos to a Lightroom collection?

Hi!
I'm coming from aperture (on the mac), where I used a program called hazel to automatically import photos into a project in Aperture.
I'm wondering if there are similar automations for Lightroom? Thanks!

I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly.
What I want is for lightroom to automatically import pictures that I put in
a specified folder on my computer. In other words, I wouldn't do anything
"manual" in LR at all - when I open lightroom, the pics in the specified
finder folder would simply be there ...

I just transferred all my music from a PC into my new mac.

I did not use istore to buy the music - but imported from my cd collection.
Thanks.
What a great system - simple and no hassles. Thanks Apple. Goodbye PC.

If you are using AlbumArt widget you can do this with the widget interface.

When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically import old music files? Last time I got a new computer I didn't have to use an external drive to update my music library.

When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically important songs from your previous computer? I recently cracked the screen on my computer and cannot access any files. Last time I got a new computer my iTunes media files automatically appeared in my iTunes when I downloaded it, and I did not have to use my external drive. Is this still possible?

If your backup copy of the old computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.

How do I keep itunes from automatically importing mp3's from other sources

I merge multiple files into single mp3 files. I used to be able to do this and add them to a folder to add to iTunes at a later point, at my leisure. Now, when I merge these into mp3 files, they are automatically being added to iTunes and it is driving me nuts. I use either internet explorer or google chrome. I have since deleted chrome as this problem started soon after I installed chrome. However, it is still automatically importing these files. I want to add them, but at a later point, not automatically. Any ideas on how I can make this stop?
Thanks.

Hmmm ... the only the possibility I can think of is that:
something is causing Windows to open the mp3 files as soon as they are created, and
iTunes is set as the default program for mp3 files
This would result on the behavior you are observing, though I'm not sure what the "something" would be. It may be worth trying this:
In Windows Explorer, select any mp3 file
right-click, select Open with and then Choose default program
Is iTunes selected here, like this?
If so, try changing the default to Windows Media Player, make sure the "Always use the selected program ..." box is checked, and click OK.
Now try your mp3 joining process again - when it finishes, does the mp3 file now open in Media Player rather than being added to iTunes? Even if so, this doesn't really solve the problem as I would expect the mp3 joiner program to just create the mp3 file and not subsequently try and open it ... however, this might give an indication whether this a direction to go in (or not).

How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing the songs I download?

I usually end up deleting a bunch of songs, but iTunes is automatically importing/adding the songs I download which then creates a lot of missing file links. How do I stop iTunes from doing that, I just want to be able to add them manually by folders.

I'm having a similar problem.
When I download songs via my MobileMe "iDisk" webpage, it will automatically end up in iTunes and starts playing. I set up my iDisk settings to place my downloads on my desktop, which it does, just fine.
Nonetheless iTunes ALWAYS wanting to be part of it, is really annoying.
I just DON'T want iTunes to start up, just because a download finished. I add songs manually myself when I want it.
Any advise ?? Thanks

How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing songs not from a CD?

Hey,
I downloaded a few songs from my e-mail that I received from a band and as soon as it finished, it automatically imported it to iTunes. I didn't want it to do that and it did it with every track. How do I stop it from doing that?
