Deleting clipboard contents.

Having changed my mind about transfering an item in clipboard, I'm finding difficulty in simply deleting it. Will it just be superceded the next time I use the facility or is there a way to delete that item.

Next time you copy something the contents of the clipboard are dumped to make room for the new copy.
There are 3rd party utilities that will enhance the clipboard in all sorts of ways giving you more options.

Why does (only)Nightly erase(delete) clipboard contents when I close it on my Win 8.1 64 bit HP desktop?

After using Nightly for several months on a new HP Win 8.1 64-bit All-in-One desktop, I've noticed that if I have copied anything from Nightly to the clipboard, it disappears when Nightly is closed, and is not available to be pasted into any application. This includes graphics and text. I just recently realized that Nightly was the culprit when copying from the address bar before closing Nightly, in order to paste the location into Chrome or Firefox - it was gone! A little experimenting verified that it was the act of closing Nightly which cleaned out the clipboard - I just verified by copying this message, and pasting it into a text file, then closing Nightly only to find the clipboard empty when attempting to re-paste the same info into the same text file - gone! I find this uncomfortably reminiscent of past Windows "features" which drove us buggy! ;)

This happens because you run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.

How to create, place, format and paste the clipboard contents into a text frame

I am new to scripting and need help. I have an existing Indesign document. I need to be able to create a text frame on my current page, the width of my margins with the top of the text frame at the top margin and 1" in height, then format it to be 1-column, and then paste the clipboard contents into it and tag the text with a particular paragraph style. I am using Indesign CS4 on a mac, if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help.

May this will help you. It will create an anchored object with a text what you desired, with object style. You should create an object style before with the x and y co ordinates. You can choose either para style or character style.
var the_document = app.documents.item(0);
// Create a list of paragraph styles
var list_of_paragraph_styles = the_document.paragraphStyles.everyItem().name;
// Create a list of character styles
var list_of_character_styles = the_document.characterStyles.everyItem().name;
// Create a list of object styles
var list_of_object_styles = the_document.objectStyles.everyItem().name;
// Make dialog box for selecting the styles
var the_dialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Create anchored text frames"});
with(the_dialog.dialogColumns.add()){
with(dialogRows.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Make the anchored frames from ..."});
with(dialogRows.add()){
staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"This character style:"});

Cross reference markers are deleted for content in text insets

Cross reference markers are deleted for content text insets. I currently have a chapter that is built from several Import by Reference files. I added an introductory paragraph with cross reference links to heading 2 titles in these text insets. Everything works and saves normally, although the cross reference markers disappear from the chapter when files are checked out a few days later. An extra Heading 2 is also added to the end of the document.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a chapter composed of several text insets.
2. Create a list of cross references to headings in these text insets at the beginning of the chapter.
3. Check in/check out the files from a source control product.
What went wrong?:
The cross reference markers are gone, resulting in broken cross references. An empty Heading 2 is also added to the end of the document following the final text inset
What should have happened?:
The markers should remain and the heading 2 tag should not be applied to the document.
Product version:
Product: FrameMaker
Version: 7.2
Platform information:Windows XP
Hardware: Dell Latitude D620
OS Version: Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
RAM: 1GB

Thanks for the information, Van. We did try several techniques including adding the insertion point immediately after the text inset before the normal paragraph tag, but none seemed to consistently work. I will investigate this scenario futher, though, in light of your comments.
We have managed to determine a workaround for this issue by avoiding a string of text insets. For some reason, using multiple text insets without separating them with normal text causes most of the problems after we add the files to our source control system. The situaton is not ideal, but it does work for the time being anyway.

How to delete Autofill contents Safari 2.0.4

How can I get rid of Autofill or delete Autofill contents? I find it anoying to to be prompted with several suggestions that are not what I want. I know there is private browsing...but what about everything that is already in autofill, or the next time I forget to turn it on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I may have misunderstood your original question.
I find it anoying to to be prompted with several suggestions that are not what I want.
I thought you were asking about the multitude of prompts appearing when you begin to type a web address into the Address window.
If you are asking about the autofill information that appears when you are completing a form, then yes, as you discovered, the reset command will remove that data in its entirety from the system. It also removes a lot of other data too. You can find out the specifics of what is affected by going to the Help Menu>Safari Help. When the Help screen appears, type "reset" in the spotlight panel. This will lead you to a more thorough explanation of the reset command.
If there are specific instances where the auto-fill information is not accurate or helpful, you can remove that data without throwing away everything else by going to Safari Preferences>Auto-fill>Other forms>Edit. There, you can remove specific entries without losing the entire database.

I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories etc. I want to format it and use it on my IMAC for backup but I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories copied to it etc. I want to use it on my IMAC for backup. I see it on my my IMAC . I can open files etc. But I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. I don't care if I lose current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

How to delete the Contents in a transaction?

Hi all.
I had a definite transaction that will be run by a pgm having 5 columns in a table.Now the users dont need 2 columns .
How can we delete the contents of that table?
Reply soon.
Regards,
SSR.

I am not 100% sure what you mean.
Do you only want to remove the two columns from the report (assumed it is a Z-report)
In that case if it is an ALV list, just remove the fields from the field catalog and the user won't be able to see them any more.
If it is just a standard list, you would have to remove the write statements for those two columns.
For standard reports there is not much you can do without doing a mod or in case of an ALV list create a variant for that user which hides the fields he doesn't want to see. The variant is an option for the Z-reports as well.
If you are talking about fields in a database table you would like to remove (assumed that it is a Z-table, you can just remove the fields in transaction SE11. After deleting the fields you will have to use the Database Utility (SE11-Utilities-Database Object- Database Utilities - Activate and Adjust Database). This will remove the columns including the data in it from that table.
Never remove any fields from a standard table - even deleting values out of certain columns for standard tables is a very bad idea unless you really exactly know what you are doing.
Hope that helps,
Michael

If it's activation locked, you can't; go back to the shop and ask for a refund.
