Can I SAVE one color to use for the backgrounds of many separate paragraphs?

I have changed the background color of paragraphs in different Chapters for the purpose of making the content within that paragraph stand out.
It’s easy to pick a random color in the Inspector. Open the “Text” tab, click the “More” button, Background Fills, check “Paragraph” and select a color from the available methods.
How can I SAVE one particular color to use for as many separate paragraph backgrounds that I want to make the same color?
I’m using iBooks Author ver. 1.1
As I work on the formatting, I’d like quick & easy access to those one or two special colors that I like.
Using the color wheel I can make a rough guess for each different paragraph, but its not exact.
None of the crayons or the colors in the Pallettes is the color I’m after.
Slider are a pain to try to exactly set each time.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know whether there's a better way (or whether this will work as expected), but I would try setting a boolean flag on keyPressed and reset the flag on keyReleased, for each key of interest. To compute the x / y movements, I would check the state of all flags.
dbI was thinking about your answer a few nights ago. And I was like, wait... it works! I thought, at first (as I replied before) that it wouldn't work, but I refract what I said. Its actually a very simple solution. And I apologize for questioning your solution previously. Thanks so much!
P.S. I tested it out. Works like a charm.
-Create booleans to handle each key
-Set to true on press
-Set to false on release
-Check and update in separate thread accordingly

  • Can more than one delimiter be use at the same time for spreadsheet string to array

    I have a text header in my data file that is space delimited and the data in the file is tab delimited? Any suggestion?

    Sorry, I misread your problem...
    Is the header always of a fixed length in terms of the number of lines? Or can you easily find out from the file how long the header is? If so, you could first read just the header and, instead of using spreadsheet to array function, you could parse the header yourself by using the match string function in a While loop with the search value:
    [\s\t]+
    Assuming slash codes are enabled, this string will match any string of one or more spaces or tabs.
    You could then read the rest of the file and format it using spreadsheet to array with the tab delimiter (that is constant, correct?).
    If you need help with that parsing loop let me know and I'll write one for you...

  • Text color changes when more than one color is used in the same paragraph in a bulleted list

    I work in a print shop on designers' files preparing them for print. Machine I use is an iMac, plenty of RAM, running Tiger 10.4. Here is my problem: A PC user sent us an InDesign CS3 file. A portion of the text is styled as a bulleted list with character color and bullet (the solid circle) defined as (default) black. However, the style is over-ridden on the bullet and first two words following the bullet with a spot color red, which is present in the Swatches palette (PMS 186). The remainder of the sentence stays black. The text somehow lost this override, and instead of keeping the 2 different colors all the text changed to black. This seems to have occurred when I saved the file on my machine. When I go back and open the original file the text is still colored both red and black. I think that the file was originally an InDesign CS2 file, and could even have been a Indd version 1 or Quark file. Why did the color change with no user intervention? Also, I can't understand why, when the first 2 words are highlighted and changed to red, the bullet also changes to red. (That is good, of course, because that is what we want, but I don't understand how that happens when the character style is black, and I can't even highlight the bullet itself). I sure would appreciate any ideas anyone has on this, I have to try to explain why we printed the text in black when it was supposed to be red and black!

    thanks Alan and Bob. Nothing has explained the loss of color so far.
    Alan, I will suggest to the designer that she use a nested style. I wonder if that will make the styling more stable moving accross the different platforms.
    Bob, I feel like you may have thought, as I did, that hundreds of saves and saved-as and many different applications would have damaged the file, but as you could see by the History, the file was fairly fresh.
    There is a very outside chance that I wiped out the style overides by command click but I am really careful and I doubt it.
    So I'll thank you both again and check back each day, perhaps this will happen to someone else and become an issue. I have tried to repeat my actions and cause the error again but to no avail.

  • How can I change one color in design on a web site for exemple background : white to light-brown?

    1. how can I change one color in design on a web site for exemple background : white to light-brown?
    2. how can I edit visual bookmark on the beginning page?

    This doesn't sound like a Firefox issue. I think you'd be better off with a site that offers web design tutorials. Try this one: http://www.w3schools.com/
    One thing you should do though and that is to update Firefox via Help | Check For Updates.
    There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

  • 180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"

    180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"

    Thank you William for your most helpful response. I shall deal first with your three comments:
    Not being tech savvy, I would not have been able to make that call myself but it sure makes sense.
    I have updated my profiles as you suggest.  Excellent tip.
    This guidance is good.  Being new to Apple Support Communities, I did not find the field a labeling and guidance to be clear, a point you make.  Now I know, I shall do as you say and will use the small slim box as a header to the full message/question, which will place in the larger box below.
    Secondly, I come to your question: Did anything change on your Mac recently, such as replacing the disk or main logic board?
    The answer is “yes”.  Two events have happened both of which concerned the Time Capsule:
    The telephone company, with which I have access to the Internet and I have my email account, installed a new modum.  After the technician left I had to try and get the Time Capsule and WiFi working again which ended with my having to call Apple for technical assistance.  The Apple technician walked me through a number of procedural steps which effectively re-set up the Time Capsule. 
    Access to the Internet failed and the telephone company reset the modum.  I had to call Apple again.  This time the technician did not reset the Time Capsule but walked me through a number of steps tha included renaming the “site”  (not the Time Capsule).
    Another piece of information that may be relevant is that the MacBook Pro uses the Time Capsule for backup.  Everything appears to be in order.  When I enter the Time Capsule for this laptop I have backups going back for a long time.
    Also, I do a weekly backup of the two computers onto another external hard drive using the Time Machine software.  So I have another backup of both computers.

  • I recently start using Firefox panorama. If I create a tab group that contains, for example, my favorite stack exchange websites, can I save ("bookmark") this tab group for easy access if I start a new session?

    You can bookmark all those tabs and place them in a folder.
    * "Bookmark This Page" and "Bookmark All Tabs" no longer show in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

  • Currently, I have 5 iPads used for the same purpose. Since similar data /application is shared among all of them, is it alright for me "Backup" only 1 iPad. And in which case, if anything happens to any of the other iPads I can still recover the data

    Currently, I have 5 iPads used for the same purpose. Since the same data /application is shared among all of these iPads, is it alright for me "Backup" only 1 iPad instead of all 5?  And if anything happens to any my iPads which I have not backed up, I can restore it from the iPad where I have save the Backup. I am hoping by doing so, I will also be able to save some icloud storage space. Let me know if my question is still not so clear to you guys.  Thanks.

    Hello PeachY1234,
    If I understand correctly you'd like to save iCloud storage space by only backing up 1 of the 5 iPads to your account since they are all going to have very similar data and usage. You certainly can do that, but I do have to warn you that any unique data between them would be lost if you had to restore from that one backup made on another iPad so just keep that in mind. If you do need to restore in the future you can use this article to restore that iCloud backup:
    iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • I'm in a quandary.  I've had a nook color to use for a while, and I've had a blackberry tablet offered me.  Why should I consider an iPad?

    I'm in a quandary.  I've had a nook color to use for a while, and I've had a blackberry tablet offered me.  Why should I consider an iPad?

    Who said you need to consider an iPad?
    If the nook and Blackberry tablet suit your needs (which you haven't mentioned) stick with them.
    One of the main advantages of the iPad is the amount of apps and media available for them. Also the huge support from third-party accessory providers.
    But unless we know what you're using these devices for, we can't really say why an iPad might be worth considering.

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

    Our SPF 2010 server is relatively small to many setups I am sure. The list with the issue only has 4456 items and there are a few associated lists, eg lookups, Tasks, etc see below for count.
    Site Lists
    Engagements = 4456 (Errors on this list, primary list for activity)
    Tasks = 7711  (All workflow tasks from all site lists)
    Clients = 4396  (Lookup from Engagements, Tslips, etc)
    Workflow History = 584930 (I periodically run a cleanup on this and try to keep it under 400k)
    Tslips = 3522 (Engagements list can create items here, but overall not much interaction between lists)
    A few other lists that are used by workflows to lookup associations that are fairly static and under 50 items, eg "Parters Admin" used to lookup a partners executive admin to assign a task.

  • Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro? Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?

    Can I use the new Time Capsule to backup my mid 2010 Macbook Pro?
    Yes, if you are asking about using Time Machine to backup the Mac.
    Also can I want to free up my hard disk, can I save my photos and files on the time capsule and later access through wifi?
    You are not thinking of deleting the photos and files on your Mac, are you?  If you do this, you will have no backups for those files.
    Another concern is that Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point, Time Machine will automatically delete the photos and files from the Time Capsule.....you just don't know when this might occur.
    In other words, only delete files from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • HT5538 We have 4 Iphones and one Apple id (used for ITunes). Since upgrading IOS to 6,

    We have 4 Iphones and one Apple id (used for ITunes). Since upgrading to  IOS  6 on my phone, I now receive ALL the text messages destined to the others! What should I do to get back to "normal", without opting out of Imessages or FaceTime?

    I'm afraid I may abuse of your generosity here, but I do have another question (that's the reason for the mistaken category of the post you answered). My daughter just arrived in her International Student residence in Europe yesterday, where internet's only available by Ethernet. She wishes to reverse-tether, from her PowerBook to her Iphone (because of the cost of using Internet on her phone over there). I found some instructions about Internet Sharing, in System Prefs, etc. "From: Ethernet, To: Airport" Enable Internet Sharing, and all...She did everything, by the book (or so, she thinks) but nothing shows on her Iphone Wi-Fi Settings when she tries to connect... I also read that it could be done with a Bluetooth PAN, but I got lost, as I tried to follow the instructions here at home, after pairing computer and Phone, with a "rude" message appearing on my phone telling me to "forget that device". Can you help?

    My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod  no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. 

  • How to use more than one indirect valuation module for the same wage type

    Is it possible and how to use the u201CIndirect valuation based on master data: ICOMPu201D configuration to default the NUMBER and at the SAME TIME to use u201CDefine valuation of base wage types usingu201D to default the AMOUNT from one/two WTs ?

    You can use the the same wage type for both number and amount but you can't assign 2 indirect valuation method for the same wage type at 1 time. I would rather suggest you to go for some customer specific indirect valuation instead of the standard one. You can use BAdI HR_INDVAL for the same.
