Customised new document?

Is it possible to alter the basic 'New Document' settings so that every time I create a new document it retains my personal settings, i.e colours/page size etc, templates are not the answer as I simply want to hit 'new' and start working.?
In effect I suppose I want to create a template and then make that the default 'new document'

Yes.
First, any colors and styles you create with no documents open will exist in every new document. Second, within the New Document dialog, you can adjust page size, bleed, slug, margins and columns. From there, you can save a preset, and it all settings will be there every time you want a new document. (I'm pretty sure that your choice in that dialog is sticky, so if you choose a preset, it will be the only selected by default the next time you need a new document.)
EDIT: the above mention of document presets is from InDesign, and is not available in Illustrator. But the colors and styles with no document open will work.

New document type--printing PO

Hi, I created new doc types and I noticed that the POs created under the new doc types did not displayed anything in the Messages (printing). Do I have to configure the output control? if yes, how? thanks so much!

Hi
You may not view it in the dropdown list, for message setting whe you are creating the condition record, you select the output type in MN04 (NEU or any other customised out type for PO) , from the key combination when you are selecting Purchasing output determination: Document type and executing , you will find the condition record fields enter your new document type directly instead of selecting it from the drop down. It will pick the details as you wish. There is no configuration required for this.

Creating a new document in Finder with right-click--How?

Is there a way to create a new document in a Finder folder by right-clicking (or Ctrl-left)? So that the new file will be created at that very spot, in that very folder.
In Windows-Explorer this was quick and easy. Just right-click and you could choose from a menu to create a new empty doc of the most popular (installed) programs. Text file was mandatory. The file was created where the curser was at. VERY handy as that way you didn't have to open the application, create a new doc and then when saving having to crawl your way all the way to the position in the Explorer/ Finder.
Since I started with Apple and Tiger I've been missing this feature and Snow Leopard still does not seem to have it. Or did I miss something? I checked all the menue as well. There's not even a "Create new document". Only a "Create new folder".
I was just reminded of this when I wanted to create a new file on an external drive on a server to save some text in it. There was no way other than first opening Textedit, saving the empty file on the local Mac, THEN transferring the empty file to the server. Only THEN I could open it and edit it.
There MUST be a quicker way.
Also, in Windows you could edit this list in the menu (and add programs that would not by themselves do this). Is there a way for the Mac?
Cheers,
Jay

I might have just found a solution myself:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10432377?messageID=10432377&amp%3b#1043237 7
It seems other people are wondering too.
And for those of you who don't understand why this is useful: Try it.
Open Textedit, Apple-N, and then save the darned file somewhere deep in the labyrinth of the Finder where you've just been but withouth the file. It takes AGES.
I, on the other hand -- at least in Windows --, right-click, new, double-click AAAND I'm on editing the file.
VERY quick.
It's beyond me why this is not possible on a Mac.

In order to create a document type for a purchase requisition use the path

in that screen you select the document type you want to copy to create your document type and perform the action.
if you want to change the screen/field selection for your document type select the field selection key (if you select the document type as NBB the field selection key will be NBB.,and go to the screen and change the field status.

Unable to Save new documents in InDesign CS5

I just upgraded from CS3 toCS5. I'm able to open old InDesign files and save but am not able to save a new document in CS5. I'm also not able to Undo. Any suggestions? Hoping this is an easy fix.

Try re-creating the preferences.
For windows Xp:
Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\ to the desktop.
Drag the "Caches" folder from C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0 to the desktop.

New Document' requires a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation-compatible application and web browser

Hi Guys,
I am getting the above message when I try to create a new Excel document from a content type.
The background is that I am configuring Content Types for a document library in SharePoint 2013.
The first content type I added was a business case based on a Word doc that is stored in a different doc library on the same site. This content type works fine. I then added a second content type that references an Excel doc in the same doc library as the word
doc.
Interestingly when you click new document from the Files Ribbon the Business Case content type displays with the word icon next to it. The content type that references the Excel document does not display the Excel icon though. Almost like SharePoint itself
does not recognise the Excel format.
Prior to posting this question I confirmed that I have Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support enabled as part of my office 2013 instance. I have also confirmed that SharePoint OpenDocuments Class control is enabled within my IE settings.

IE version and Office that is installed in your computer should have to the same version (32-bit).

I can't save *new* documents back to SharePoint

I can’t save *new* documents back to SharePoint. We have a SharePoint 2013 development environment, running on Windows Server 2012 and a Windows 7 Client Computer with Office 2010.
Every time I click „new document“, SharePoint opens the corresponding template file in the client application (Word, Excel,…) So far, so good. When i select „Save“, the client application brings up a local save path on the client computer, not the SharePoint
document library.
I did some research and tried many approaches, but none of them worked.
I installed the Desktop Experience Feature on the Windows Server 2012, added the server address to trusted sites, gave the user farm-administrator rights (to make sure it is no security problem) and switched the authentication mode for the web application.
Does anyone know this problem and found a solution?

Hi,
For troubleshooting your issue, you can try to add a registry value to your local registry (on a machine with Office Applications installed through which you are accessing SharePoint sites):
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
In the Value data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click OK.
Note You can also type a list of URLs in the Value data box. For more information, see the "Sample URL list" section in this article.
Exit Registry Editor.

Creatiing new document in TextEdit and saving it to a folder

I'm just starting with applescript. I would like to write a script that will open an e-mail, copy the contents to a new TextEdit or TexShop file, and save the new document to a particular folder. Ultimately the name of the new document should depend on the content of the e-mail, but for now I'd be happy to just be able to create a new TextEdit document and save it in a specified location with a specified name.
I've tried a couple of things, including
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
make new document
set fileSpec to "Disk:Documents:Barbara:TestFile"
save document 1 in fileSpec
end tell
which creates a new untitled document and brings up a dialog, which isn't what I want. I also tried something that involved "with properties {name:TestFile} but that didn't work either.
I have Applescript the definitive guide and Applescript in a Nutshell but neither seems to describe this situation, although surely it's a common one.
I'd be most grateful for any help.

Not all Macintosh e-Mail'er applications are scripted the same; thus, Apple's 'Mail' e-Mail'er application is assumed.
-- Create dynamic path to the desired folder.
tell application "Finder" to set dFolder to ((startup disk) as string) & "Documents:Barbara:"
tell application "Mail" -- Utilize 'Mail's AppleScript dictionary.
set selected_Messages to selection -- Obtain a list of selected e-Mail messages.
repeat with i in selected_Messages -- Cycle through the selected e-Mail messages.
set tSubject to my Clean_String((subject of i) as string) -- Obtain each e-Mail message's 'Subject' line.
set tContent to (content of i) as string -- Obtain each e-Mail message's contents.
set fRef to open for access file (dFolder & tSubject) with write permission -- Create a new file at dFolder.
write tContent to fRef -- Write the e-Mail message to the new file.
close access fRef -- Close the new file.
end repeat
end tell
on CleanString(localString) -- 'Macintosh file names cannot contain a ':'. Here it is replaced by '_'.
if (local_String contains ":") then -- Check for presence of ':" in local_String
-- Standard 'AppleScript's text item delimiters' preparation.
set {oAStid, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, ":"}
set local_String to text items of local_String -- Creates a list of items separated by ":'.
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "_" -- Set a new delimiter character.
set local_String to local_String as string -- Creates a string from created list with '_' as the new delimiter.
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oAStid -- Restore 'AppleScript's text item delimiters'.
end if
return local_String -- Return modified / non-modified string.
end Clean_String
The created generic text file can be viewed and edited with any text editor.
Also, the 'repeat ... end repeat' portion can be rewritten as ...
repeat with i in selected_Messages -- Cycle through the selected e-Mail messages.
set fRef to open for access file (dFolder & (my Clean_String((subject of i) as string))) with write permission -- Create a new file at dFolder.
write ((content of i) as string) to fRef -- Write the e-Mail message to the new file.
close access fRef -- Close the new file.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

How to open and write to a new document from a filter plug in?

Hi. I'm new to writing photoshop plug in. I would like to copy a small area of the current image, open a new document, and paste the area into the new document. All this is done in photoshop only.
I am currently using the "Dissolve" filter to do my study, and i can't find the way to create a new document.
I found a reply by Tom Ruark, mentioning using an automation plug in.
Can someone please point out to me which functions, and parameters, to study?
And are there any sample projects that do this?
Many thanks.
Regards,
Yong

You don't do that from a filter plugin. A filter plugin can only filter existing data.
Yes, you would need a script or an automation plugin to create a new document.
You might want to read the SDK about what the various types of plugins can do.

History report page prints before printing each new document?cc=us

How do i stop my HP Officejet 6700 Premium from printing a history report page before printing each new document, using Windows 7 & Using Microsoft Word? When I open a document and print it, it prints a history including: File Name; Directory; Template; Title; Subject; Keywords; Comments; creation Date; Change Number; Last Saved On; Last Saved By; Total Editing; Last Printed On; As of Last Printing....
Everything worked perfectly for a year, then I had to reinstall the printer because I deleted it by mistake. I cary it with me when I travel to meetings and didn't have my install disk, so I had to download the install software. I haven't changed any settings in Word, but it appears that the report is generated from Word.
Help will be appreciated. I can't find any other topic like mine to see an already presented solution.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
The report indeed being generated by Word and not by the pritner driver.
As you did not clarify your MS Office version I included the steps for Word 2010, I believe the same should also apply for Word 2007:
From Word click the File menu, then select Options.
Select Display from the left pane.
Under the Printing Options sections, uncheck the box next to Print document properties.
Click OK and try printing again.
If you cannot find the specific option, please clarify your exact Microsoft Wiord version.

Import gif onto new document

Hi
I am using cs4 trial.
I already own MX
In CS4.
Lets say i create a new document. I then import an animated
GIF.
Once it is dropped onto the document, Suddenly i cannot move
it. It seems i can only move the image that is on the current frame
or state. It seems that all the images generated on all the frames
are no longer linked.
There must be something i am missing.
I would like to build Animated GIF's from other animated
gif's. And build a library of units of gif animations.
Any sugestions?
Thanks

First thing to try is deleting your Photoshop preferences and letting the application create new preferences files on re-launch.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

My Pages has locked up. I can see my documents but nothing will open. I cannot open a new document either. Any ideas?

I have used my Pages software for years. All of a sudden, I cannot open anything. It shows my documents on the "open" tab but then in will not open them. Also, when I try and create a new document, I get the error message stating that "Starting point 'blank.template' couldn't be found. It was moved or deleted." So I'm thinking my whole Pages application has been deleted somehow. Is there a way to re-install it without repurchasing it? Help!

Is there a way to re-install it without repurchasing it?
Where and how did you buy it? As a DVD from a store, a download from Apple or from the Mac App Store?
If you got it from the Mac App Store, just delete it and (re)install it from the Purchases section.
If you received a DVD when you bought it you just need to delete it, reinstall it and update it.
The best way to completely remove iWork from your Mac is to use Yvan Koenig's AppleScript:
Go to https://public.me.com/koenigyvan
Choose For iWork > iWork '09 > Uninstall iWork '09.zip
Download Uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button
It'd might help to know what version of Pages and OS X you're using.
