Best workflow to select all text in object

I regularly copy text filled objects to reuse them and need to change the text within. Does anyone have a fast way to select all text?
Currently I have to double click the text to get a cursor and then use a control+A to select all text in the box.
I would love to have a single to 2 button press to do this or better yet a fast way to do this with the mouse. Even an contextual right click option would rock!
All ideas appreciated and will be tested.
David

Nice tip! I have also found you can right click to edit text, I wish it would select all when you do that.

  • How to select all text in document?

    I need to select all text in a long document to export to rtf. I only seem to be able to select a story. Any ideas in how I can do it?
    Thanks
    Ian

    Can't be done. You'll have to link all text boxes together in one long story, or use the script "ExportAllStories.jsx" that comes with your default InDesign installation.
    There are other alternatives (all of them using scripts), and the best way may depend on what your intentions are with the exported file -- if, for example, you want to read it back into their original text frames after editing, well, there are ways to do that.

  • Javascript: select all text, break link to style

    Hi
    I'd like to select all text in a Document (in different independent textboxes) and then break the link to it's style (in the program in the Flyout-menu of the paragraph styles)
    Is this function scriptable (javascript)?
    How do I select all the text?
    InDesign CS6, OS10.7.4
    Thanks

    In fact, I use the adobe findchangebylist to modified, I want to do a clear setting script, not only break link to style, but when i run the script that will get error, can u help me to fix it, my script is shown as below:

  • 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.

    HI user560737,
    After over 170 post still
    a. No Forms version
    b. No friendly handle

    Perhaps one or more of the following are true
    1. Members of this forum are not equipped to help you.( So, why bother to post?)
    2. You are not appreciative of the help being extended to you, in the form of marking posts helpful / correct
    3. You do not articulate and follow through on your post.
    How else can one explain

  • (PS CS3) Selecting all text to change fill color?

    I have a graphic with text - the text was not inserted by Photoshop, and it's not selectable as text; it's just part of the graphic.  I'd like to change the color of the text.
    I can select each letter and individual block of punctuation, etc. by using the Magic Wand and Shift+Click on each item.  Is there a way, though, to simply select all of the text - or at least one complete line - with one or two moves or commands, vice the tediousness of clicking in each letter, comma, i dot, and so forth?
    Ed

    Given that the text is uniformly colored against a colorless background, a VERY easy shortcut can be to just use Image - Adjust - Hue/Saturation, pick a color, then change the Hue slider.
    Literally only a few seconds work...

  • Why can't I select all text in mail?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4 to IOS 5, and noticed that I no longer have the option to 'select all' in a mail document?!?  If I tap &amp; hold on the document, my choices are 'copy', 'define', and 'speak'. The select all option is no longer present. I use this feature quite a bit &amp; I really want it back.  Is there some setting I can change somewhere?
    Thanks, anyone who can help
    Natalie

    i got same issue like you on iOS 5.0.1, not only in mail but also in safari or other apps.
    sometimes i can make the 'select all' option out but when i did it, did nothing.

  • How Select All Text Objects with Specific Contents and Move to Top-Center?

    Mavens,
    In a ~230 page InDesign CC Book (9 INDD files), on about ~35 pages, there is a small text block with the word "NOTES."
    Currently, the NOTES text block is in the Middle-Center of the page. I would like to find a way for InDesign to move all ~35 instances of the NOTES text block to the Top-Center (of the page each text block is on).
    Is there an easy way to do this with Edit --> Find/Change?
    Thanks!

    Probably not.
    That text block really belongs on a master page applied to those 35 pages, and if it is, all you have to do is move it on the master page. If it isn't, you've got some work to do. Probably easiest to fix one, then coy it and use Paste in Place on the other pages, and delete the frame that's in the wrong place.

  • 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?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. 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.

  • Problems with the selection of text or objects

    dear fireworks community!
    unfortunately i have problems with my running version fireworks (CS6) and i can't find any solution or even get help via the customer support.
    i can't switch between objects with a click, when i've choosen one already. i also can't cancel the entire selection. the only way (to select a new item) is to click on an empty space, hold it and pull the selection over a new item.
    another thing is that i cant select a textfield with a doubleclick or switch beteween choosen tools within the usage of a shortcut …
    what i already tried:
    updating, deinstalling, re-storing preferences, "cleaning" the libraries, installing (this entire scenario for at least three times)
    i hope someone of you can help me!
    thanks in advance!

    incredible!
    thank you so much!

  • 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.

  • How to select all textframes

    Hi,
    I am using Indesign CS4 version 6.0.6 on a macosx 10.6.
    I want to select all text frames to check if they contain paragraphs without style.
    I am using javascript :
                myAllTextFrames = myAllPages[myCounterPages].textFrames;
    It gives me all textframes in the page but the textframes in groups in the pages are not included.
    Is there a way to select all textFrames of a page nested in group (at any level, in a group in a group in a group...) or not ?
    Regards,
    Lionel

    Hi,
    I am sorry I used the wrong word, I do not want to "select" all paragraphs without style, I want to address them and select the first one for the user to choose a style for it.
    Thank for your answers, I'll use allPageItems.
    Best regards,
    Lionel
