Can't use units other than inches in custom paper sizes?

When I try to define a custom paper size, the editable fields contain the unit "in". If I change this to anything else, like pt or cm, it gives an "invalid number" error message. I intend to file a bug report, but am I missing something here?

You can set your system measurements to metric in the
International control pane, under Formats. That will
change it for Page Setup.
I'd swear in a court of law that I tried that and it didn't work. Now I try it and it does let me use cm. However, if I try to use m or mm, it assumes I meant cm, and if I try pt, the units I really wanted to use, it still says "invalid number."

Is it possible to use an AppleScript to set a *custom* paper size in Word?

I've used the following script to set the paper size in Word:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
          set paper size of page setup of section 1 of active document to paper a4
end tell
but I've been unable to write a script to set a custom paper size -- does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks!

The gallant Pierre strikes again!!! For reasons having to do with a quirk of working with Word documents coming from a Windows machine, I ended up having to go the UI route, but I couldn't have done it without you! I actually ended up changing the Format For: popup menu instead of the Paper Size: popup menu, but this technique could be used for those who wish to chose a custom paper size:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
          delay 0.5
keystroke "a" using command down
          tell application process "Microsoft Word"
                    click menu item "Page Setup..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
delay 1
click pop up button 3 of window "Page Setup"
keystroke "Any"
                    delay 0.5
keystroke return
                    delay 0.5
keystroke return
delay 1
                    click menu item "Print..." of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
delay 1
                    tell menu button "PDF" of window "Print"
click
                              click menu item "Create Booklet" of menu 1
                    end tell
          end tell
end tell
Again, Pierre -- many thanks!

Can I use something other than ITunes?.....

I am new to using a ipod and I am looking to get one, but I need to know if I can just use a downloading program and sync the music I download onto the ipod? I use morpheus to download music right now and use windows media player.
Toshiba Windows XP Laptop

Although Itunes is sort of the defacto standard for the iPod you can use a bunch of different programs that will interface with it...Try "Musicmatch" although you can't have "Musicmatch" on the same computer as Itunes as there is a compatibility problem so you have to uninstall Itunes to use Musicmatch but I think Musicmatch is much easier to use than Itunes.

Can financials use calendar other than Gregorian calendar

Hi Gurus,
we are trying to implement oracle Financials in Ethiopian, they use there own calendar i.e ethiopian calendar 13 periods.
Can we use the Ethiopian calendar for oracle apps, if yes what will be impact. If no, what is the work around.
Ethiopian calendar is currently in year 2003.
Regards,
CP

Not that I am aware off. I was able to get my Yahoo Calendar to synch with my touch. But I had to use a program to sync my yahoo calendar with my outlook calendar first then with my touch. I am hoping Apple in the future allow u to synch directly with other calendars such as Yahoo, Gmail, etc, etc.

Can i use webserver other than that is provided by LabVIEW to view remote panels?

How to view remote panels using webserver (not inbuilt of labVIEW)? Is it possible to communicate with other webserver? if yes which VIs to be used?

What do you mean "use another web server"?
The remote panel publishing is an integral part of LV. I don't think it can just be detached.
You can write your own code which will grab the image of a front panel, send it to another VI and have that other VI capture the mouse clicks and send them back to the original VI which will then simulate them. You can also use something like VNC, PCAnywhere or XP's terminal services to remotely connect to the computer (or LabVNC to connect directly to a VI).
Why not use the built in web server?
Try to take over the world!

Can I use something other than HDMI for the apple TV?

My TV and AVR are in different locations. For this I ran the connection with cat5 and hooked it all up with component video. The AVR won't down convert the hdmi to component out so therefore I can not plug hdmi into it. Does the apple tv connect video only through hdmi? If so could I hook up a unit to the tv itself and one to the receiver independently for sound?
I have a pioneer sc-25 and a samsung plasma (b650 maybe?)

That won't work. The only way you can get sound to the AVR without using the HDMI or optical cable is to use it as a remote speaker from iTunes. Remote speaker doesn't push video. You would have a synchronization problem between your tv and your remote speakers driven by iTunes.

Email notification - can I use something other than Mail?

I've started using GyazMail instead of Apple's Mail application. However, whenever I get an email reminder I've set up for myself in iCal, Mail opens instead of GyazMail. I've set GyazMail as the default email application using the Preferences menu in Mail, but for whatever reason it seems that the reminders keep passing through to Mail instead of GyazMail.
Is there a way to change this?

I'm pretty sure you cannot get apple mail to interact with your other mail program - Afterall, Apple wants you to use their program - It's only been recent for example that ical can integrate other date info from such programs such as Entourage. Apple has been understandably slow to permit this kind of cross thru.
You can use any mail program you want of course. I use Entourage and also Gmail - Both receive my mail from different mail domains and tell me when new mail arrives. I don't use the apple mail program at all.
Hope this was kinda helpful.

I have a huge amount of my memory used by 'other' than photos and music - to my knowledge, there is nothing there apart from a few songs and photos and 5 podcasts. What could it be? How could I get rid of this 'other' stuff and get the memory back?

Can LSMW upload data other than Master Data

Dear Friends,
Can LSMW upload data other than Master Data, e.g. Want to upload the Vendor Invoice line items with single Debit and multiple Credit line items are there and also more than one GL a/c are involved.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mahendra Dev

The answer is YES.
There is no issue issue if you have different GL account.
The issue is if you have multiple line item (which are differeing in each entry).
For this, if you want to use LSMW, check for program, but not the recording method option.

Ravi

I know I get 2 downloads. I have one on my Mac. Can I use the other for my PC laptop?

Hello david,
that's correct. Cloud software can be installed on Mac and/or Windows for no extra cost. No platform swapping process is required.
On the Mac simply sign in to creative.adobe.com with your Adobe ID and download the software. Same as you did on the PC.

I forgot the security answer also the email is incorrect. So can i use the other email to know the answer of security question

The reset link will only work for the rescue email address that you currently have on your account. If it's wrong (you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to correct your rescue email address for potential future use
