Can i get access to the find command in Word via activeX?

Does anyone know if it is possible to search through a word document using activeX commands from labview? Basically i need to use the "find" command from Word.
Thanks for your help

Excellent thanks a lot.
I've now got the search function working but im having a little trouble getting the results i want. What do you mean by "new selection"? is this the output refnum from the execute node?
Im looking to search through a word document for a certain paragraph number then highlight this paragraph in some way.
At present i have used your method to find the section number and then used a frame property on the output refnum followed by select method cascaded from this. This has the effect of selecting the number causing the word window to jump to the desired point but only the first line of the paragraph is shown because it places the found text at the bottom of the screen.
Do you have any suggestions as to how i could select the en
tire paragraph? I also cannot get any output from the select method in this way, am i using it incorrectly?
Thanks again for your time
Alan

The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.

I can't get my iPad to find my iPod touch via bluetooth... Help!!!

I can't get my iPad to find my iPod touch via bluetooth, tried shutting off wifi on both and reseting. iPod 2 days old, 4 th gen white, iPad 2 = 2 months old

This is happening to many people.
For me, it's the Key Note Remote app that won't connect with my iPad2 from my iPhone4 after update to iOS5.
Apparently this does not affect the new iPhone 4S.
But that's not a solution unless you are planning on upgrading.
I'm still waiting for a response from Apple but I'd advise you to go to whichever app isn't connecting with Bluetooth and hit the "REPORT A PROBLEM" button in iTunes app page for said app.
This will go directly to the devs and should ellicite a faster response.
Hope this gets fixed soon.
Warm regards.

JenJenTen,
I understand that having a preset text that you did not want can be a bit frustrating when sending out text. To clarify, is the preset message like a signature at the end of your text? Does this only happen in text messages or when your send emails also? Is your SMS delivery confirmation on? Messaging>Settings>SMS delivery confirmation.

Can't get back to the finder - driving me crazy

I'm using Safari. I close the Safari window and click on the desktop to get the Finder - I'm still in Safari.
I try to access the Finder by clicking on the Finder icon in the dock - no good, still in Safari.
I use Command-Tab to select the Finder - no good, still in Safari.
This happens often with Preview and Mail as well. After rummaging around awhile I can get back to the Finder, but this is a very big annoyance. And it seems to be getting worse.
Is this a known problem / bug in Leopard? Anyone else experiencing it? Any fix?

Donnie,
Did you attempt to reboot your Mini?
Did you repair permissions?
Did you try those applications in another account?
Did you try to refresh the finder plist file? If not, you may want to refresh the Finder plist file by dragging the com.apple.finder.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Preferences folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and reset your settings in Finder>Preferences...>General.

Aperture picture files...can I get them in the Finder?

I'm using Aperture 2.1. I know Aperture stores it's images in a library like iPhoto...but is there a way to get to the pictures in the Finder so I can open them or copy and paste?
Message was edited by: wtgilles

There are many, many ways to access your files in Aperture:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within Aperture. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from Aperture to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with Aperture not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS

I have two gmail accounts and firefox made me choose one and locked me out of the other. i can't get access to the other and i need it. how to i undo what firefox did?

For the first time Firefox made me choose between my two gmail accounts: lbalisle @gmail.com and [email protected] I was in Vovision so i checked that and now I can't get into my [email protected] account.
This is taking a lot of time to deal with when I don't have it. I have emails at [email protected] i need to get to. Please help! Linda Balisle

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

I have an 8GB Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. The apps I already purchased don't seem to work anymore and when I go to re-install, I can't because it says I need a software update. How can I get access to the apps that I purchased?

Due to having a gen 2 Ipod, I can't download any apps from the app store. Plus, many of my previously downloaded apps (that I bought) aren't working...so I can't even re-download them since I still have 4.2.1. HELP!!! Rediculous that I can't use apps I paid for on the same device that I purchased them on.
<Edited by Host>

A 2G iPod can only go as high as 4.2.1
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

I downloaded iTunes 10.4 last night and now I can't get access to the iTunes store

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes last night (10.4) and now the iTunes store won't load.

You will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
i iTunes, QuickTime, Safari, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

Please Help. compare two excel files. Can't get the find command to work

Hello, I'm new to applescript. I'm trying to write a script to compare column B of one excel file to column B of the another excel file.
I will have to had a repeat loop to proceed down the column but I'm stuck on the find command.
Below is some of the code I have so far. The applescript error message is "Microsoft Excel got an error: The object you are trying to access does not exist. It highlights the find column."
set patientFile to choose file with prompt "Please select the patient Excel file:"
set patientName to name of (info for patientFile)
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
open patientFile
set thepatientFile to workbook patientName
end tell

if the button returned of the result is "Cancel" then
end if
else

Does any one have any hints towards solving this problem? Thank you for any help.

Thank you everyone for your help. I attached my code. It works now but kinda slow. Does anyone have any hints on making it faster.
Important : when you use the find command, it's preferable to use the properties ( look in and look at).
Example : find searchRange what searchTerm look in values look at whole
Otherwise, it will search according to the criteria of your last find.
Example, if you uncheck 'Find entire cells only', and after that you run the script,
find column 2 what 10.0 --> match 110.0 or 1110.0 or 310.0, .... , because it look at part.
set screen updating to false : Yes it improves the speed.
Here are my tests (no duplicate values in the Excel column ) on old computer (Powermac G5) .
set screen updating to false without any activate object command
2000 rows --> 3.7 minutes, your script : 11.5 minutes
4000 rows --> 7.5 minutes, your script : 23 minutes
8000 rows --> 15 minutes, your script : 46 minutes
But, it's faster to search through a list without using the Excel find command, no need to set the screen updating, You can continue working on the workbook or another workbook, this will not disturb the script.
Tests on my script :
2000 rows --> 4 seconds
4000 rows --> 21 seconds
8000 rows --> 1.3 minutes
17000 rows --> 6 minutes
Here is the script :

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
What do you mean by having no access to those apps? Can you start up your Mac and work with it, and only some OS X apps do not work?
Anyway, what you can try is to reinstall OS X. To do this, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up and reinstall OS X. You will not lose any file.

Accidentally changed the path of the home directory and now I can not get access my profile.

before the way was /valumes/macintosh hd/igor but then i decided to remove a space between macintosh and HD then I restarted my mac and after reloading I can not get access my profile. Thanks for the helping.

Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume and re-install OS X on the volume.
This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.

I can't get my iPad to find my Apple TV. Where do I find the rectangle with the triangle in it to turn on the tv link. I have no problem doing this from my macbookpro.

I can't get my ipad4 to find my Apple TV box, I where do I find the little rectangle box with a triangle in it that I click on my MacBook Pro to turn on the appletv?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
