[CS3 / VBS] Ungroup Whole Document

There may be a script already that does this but I haven't found it yet.
Is there a simple line in a script I could have it ungroup everything in a document?
It seems like it should be easy enough to do it.
Thanks again from a beginner in scripting!

I cannot test the VB script, but:
my VB code will ungroup all groups - because after ungrouping grouped group myDocument.Groups.Count will be increased so this loop will end when all groups will be ungrouped
but it should be modified - to prevent crash when Group is in Text as Anchored/Inline graphics and it should check if all remaining groups are as Anchored/Inline graphics - then loop should be ended

I have OSX Maverick on an iMac using Outlook e-mail. PDF attachments are included in the e-mail as the whole document rather than just the PDF icon. How can i have just the PDF icon as an attachment?

In Outlook my PDF attachments appear as whole documents and not just the PDF icon. How can I have attachments included as PDF icons and not the documents?

For your own viewing, you can of course control-click on the attachment and select "View as Icon".
For others' viewing, it depends upon their email reader. To ensure that attachments are not displayed expicitly you can put them all in a zip file (via control click and "Compress") then attaching them, or you can use third party stuff like Attachment Tamer.

How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

Page Setup, including page orientation, is done in the File menu. The setting applies to the whole document. As Peter says, you can rotate the contents of a page (not including the text layer of a word processing document).
As an alternative, you could use Numbers, where Sheets are empty canvases onto which you may place images, charts, tables and text boxes, and where page orientation may be set for individual Sheets. The main tradeoff is that you lose many of the built-in word processing and page layout features of Pages.

How do I copy a few lines from a pdf document to a Word document? I'm not looking to convert the whole document, just need to copy a few lines here and there.

ps. Wow, what a user UNFRIENDLY site this is!

In most cases you can just select the text and copy/paste. You can do that unless the file is a picture/scan.

How to edit linked text in an Indesign long document without it effecting the whole document

I want to work out how to edit text in indesign without the rest scrolling
I have a large 200 page book. The text was supplied in Word and I have placed the whole document automatically and now I am going through each page doing my magic with pics, stylesheets etc.
When the client comes back with edits, I am concerned that deleted or adding in text will scroll the text to the next chapter, etc etc. This will be a nightmare. Not sure how to unlink say 5 pages or so that are in each chapter so I can edit easily without the whole document being effected.
Apologies I am probably not explaining myself all that well.

I can see there are scripts but I don't want each page separate rather each chapter (each chapter can go for 2 or 7 pages)
I am only 35 pages or so into the book and if I have to I can re place the text with some work, ie start again with the text pages.
seems sily though that I cannot split the threaded stories a few pages at a time.
The link is now fixed.
You can split the threaded story into separate stories anywhere in the thread. At the chapter breaks seems logical. There are many users who'll assert all sorts of right/wrong at you when it comes to threading text. For my purposes, I set up long documents much the way you propose; threading articles, stories, or chapters discreetly; rarely would I ever thread an entire long document as one. It's a preference, not a rule. Each way has benefits and pitfalls.

How do you add the language of the dictionary in pages for the whole document?

How do you add the language of the dictionary in pages for the whole document. When I add the british language it does not stay ON for the whole document. It goes back to "none"???? I am using pages 09 version 4.1 (923).

This is a feature of Numbers. If you repost on the iWork forum you may get more information.

How do I change font in the whole document at the same time?

How do I change font in the whole document at the same time?

Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer
Menu > Help > Pages User Guide
Download and read page 27 on creating and using Styles, which is done largely by example ie you make the text what you want then save it as a Style to be applied wherever you want in the document from the Styles Drawer.

Script for Word 2008 to set the font for whole document.

I just moved to Office 2008 form 2004 and am shocked to see my Macros do not work! So need to solve it with Aplescript. I spend an hour to find a way of changing the font in a whole document, to no avail.
To select all the text is easy:
tell application "System Events"
tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate
tell process "Microsoft Word" to keystroke "a" using command down
end tell
But how to get it to do the font?
Any tips?

Looks promising:
http://www.macworld.com/reviews/product/671498/review/microsoftword_for_mac2011.html
The bottom line is this: Microsoft Word for Mac no longer feels like a second-string word processing program in the Microsoft Office suite. It is in fact a powerful tool for creating all your personal and business documents and for collaborating with others. More importantly, Word 2011 now makes it possible to insert a Mac into nearly any business environment and offer Mac users the same set of features found in Word for Windows, without compromise.
And regarding Macros:
http://www.macworld.com/article/154785/2010/10/welcomebackvisualbasic.html
In my testing so far, Excel 2011 runs older macros just fine. I opened one macro-laden worksheet I’d created back in 1992 in Excel 2011; it ran perfectly. I also opened a number of Excel 2004 worksheets, all of which used macros to some degree or another, and they also worked as expected.
New macros I’ve recorded so far all worked as expected. The Visual Basic Editor’s work area is mostly identical to that of Excel 2004’s, but with a few nice additions. For instance, the Edit menu features some new options for viewing properties, methods, constants and parameters. In the Debug menu, you can create Watch functions, which allow you to watch an expression and to stop the macro when a value changes or a condition becomes true.
Microsoft’s Excel 2011 team has also worked to make Mac macros compatible with those written for Excel for Windows. According to Microsoft, Excel 2011 for Mac features a full port of the Windows Office VBA environment; in most cases, the OS X and Windows versions of VBA now mirror each other. This includes updating the core VBA engine in Office 2011 to VBA version 6.5, and adding some commands (FormatCurrency, FormatNumber, Replace) that had been disabled in Excel 2004 for the Mac. When there were object-model differences between the Windows and OS X versions, Microsoft says it conformed the Mac version to Office 2010. (Macworld hasn’t had the opportunity to fully test that Windows-compatibility yet.)
Overall, I’ve been quite happy with the macro experience in Excel 2011. Now that Tools -> Macros does something useful once again, I can finally retire Excel 2004.

When I attach a PDF document in mail only the first page appears. How do I get the whole document to work

Title says it all. I go to attach file add the fild and the first page shows up in the body of the email. How do I get the whole document to show up?

You can't get the whole document to appear on your side.
When you send it, the entire document will be sent. Normally, clicking on it will open it in preview where you can see all pages. If you want to see it in this way, just cc: or bcc: yourself on the email when you send it.

How can I insert a line that extends from a word without it affecting the formatting of the WHOLE document?

I am trying to create a simple form for people to print out and fill in. I want fields like 'Name' with a line extending from the word for people to write on. What should be the simplest of tasks has confounded me for HOURS. Inserting a line as a 'shape' or 'drawing with pen' just messes up the formatting of the whole document. I've used Pages 'Help' but it almost forced me to staple my eyelids to the carpet. Surely there is a SIMPLE way to do this. I even tried 'tricking' Pages by 'underlining' a row of spaces. It won't even allow you to do this because Pages is far more clever than a human.
My cat is looking at me with increasing consternation.

I would use a right-aligned tab with an underline leader.

Send pages document as pdf attachment without including the whole document in the message

What I am trying to do is to write a document in pages then send it as a pdf attachment which shows as a mail icon in the mail message. One then clicks on the icon and the attached file opens. Seems I can do it if I send it as a word doc but every time I try and send it as a PDF the whole document shows up in the email body....
Is there something I am not doing?
Thanks
Bryan

Hi Gee,
We also tried this:
Wrote document in Pages and used "export" to save it as a PDF document.
Fired up Mail, clicked on add attachment and as usual we got the document in the body
Highlighted the document and right clicked.
In drop down menu we selected "show as Icon" and it did just that
We then sent it to our Tablet where, believe it or not it came up as an attachment NOT in the body of the mail.
Just shaking our heads on this on but I do really think Jerry is absolutely right so will not take any more chances and add a second page if I have to send a pdf......

[JS] Export whole document as a snippet

Hi,
I'm trying to export a whole document as a snippet. The code works for a page item, i.e
myPageItem.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_SNIPPET
but not for a document. i.e , new File("/D/test/templates/working.inds"));
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_SNIPPET ,new File("/D/test/templates/working.inds"));
It errors with the specified object does not support the export format.
I thought you could export a whole document as a snippet?
Any Ideas?
thanks
Richard

Thank you for your response.
You can do the whole page or selection of items to a snippet via the UI though. You just have to select all the page items and then do export and that works great.
While I can get a collection of page items in the script, it has no method for doing exportFile on the array. If the interface and UI has the ability to export multiple page items to a snippet, surely I should be able to some how via the script.

How do I replace font colors across the whole document?

So I know how to change a certain font across the whole document.
I can replace let's say, Times New Roman with Arial throughout the whole document.
However, what if I want to replace a font color?
For example, I want to change the black 0,0,0,0 with black 40,30,30,100 across the whole document, instead of searching one by one and replacing the existing color.
I'm using CS5 on PC

As Peter says, it is better to do with paragraph styles. The above shows where.
In general, you should be using p. styles with little or not local formatting (depends on use). And for local formatting that is repetitive, character styles should be used.
Take care, Mike

I have adobe illustrator CS5. When I save a document as a pdf and open it again later to edit Adobe reader can't read the whole document because it only shows part of the document. It is very frustrating. How can I fix this?

Transfer them to your harddisk immediately.
External drives are not offiially supported and the source of errors of all kinds including complete loss of files.

My whole document comes out as low res when I export to PDF, even the indesign file also now low res. Tried changing display performance, but that's not helping.
