Does OS 10.5x offer a simple way to create an alternating-text screensaver?

I'd like to create a screensaver from quotations I like and have them scroll across the screen--like Apple's built-in "Word of the Day" screensaver (though I'd like to have a "slow-scroll only" option; Apple's words sometimes whizz across the screen too fast for me).
Anyone have a simple way to do this for someone who still can't figure out what Apple Script is? Thanks for any suggestions!

V.K.: Hm, then I guess it's a good thing I don't know what Apple Script is.
Seriously, it's too bad Apple doesn't give us some way to do this. I'm pretty sure I was able to do it ten years ago on my very first Macbook, and that was only OS 7x.
Anyone out there know of third-party text-writing screensaver software?

More simple way for creating dummy variables

I am finding for more simple way for creating dummy variables.
For analyzing by linear regression, logistic regression ... creating dummy variables from categorical data is necessary.
Most simplest way for creating dummy variables is may be pivot function.
But I need more simple method.
Anyone's idea. I welcome.

HT3697 Is there a simple way to create a borderless PDF from Keynote.

Is there a simple way to create a "borderless" PDF using Keynote slides?
When I create a PDF, each slide appears separately with a border around it.
I am a relatively new keynote and mac user.
I am using Keynote version 6.2

I got the same result.
I'm trying to create what looks like a single document that viewers can scroll through.
I done quite a bit of checking and it seems that Keynote used to give you the ability to crop the PDF which, if I understand what they are talking about, would make it look like one big document and not a series of slides.
I read about using terminal commands (?) which are way beyond my skill level.
Also, I could buy Adobe Acrobat which, from what I've read, would also work. I'm not fond of making that investment.
Right now, I'm stuck!
I need to create a "long form sales letter" and I'm starting to think that I'm using the wrong program.
Thank you very much for your help and any other suggestions you might have.

Simple way to create field catalogs in ALV Reports using subroutine

     In ALV Reports When creating field catalog, instead of giving field catalog for every field seperatly we can use following simple method to create field catalog.
     This method makes your code very easy to read as well as to understand. I am going to show code only to prepare field catalog to make this method easy to understand. Their also contains code for fetching data from requires table and calling function module for ALV . I am not including it in this program but it should be their in program -
REPORT ZALV_INTERACTIVE_REPORT.
TYPE-POOLS SLIS.
TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_MARA,
     MATNR TYPE MATNR,
     MTART TYPE MTART,
     MBRSH TYPE MBRSH,
     MEINS TYPE MEINS,
END OF TY_MARA.
DATA IT_MARA TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_MARA.
DATA WA_MARA TYPE TY_MARA.
" Internal table and work area for Field Catalog
DATA IT_FIELDCAT TYPE SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV.
DATA WA_FIELDCAT LIKE LINE OF IT_FIELDCAT.
START-OF-SELECTION.
* PERFORM FETCH_DATA .
" FIELDS IN FIELD CATALOG (PASSED IN SUBROUTINE):-
"     'FIELDNAME'<SPACE> 'SELTEXT_M' <SPACE>'KEY'<SPACE> 'HOTSPOT'
PERFORM PREP_CATALOG USING : 'MATNR' 'MATERIAL NO.' 'X' 'X' ,
                                                       'MTART' 'MATERIAL TYPE' ' ' ' ' ,
                                                       'MBRSH' 'IND SECTOR' ' ' ' ' ,
                                                       'MEINS' 'UOM' ' ' ' ' .
* PERFORM CALL_ALV_FM .
" Subroutine to create field catalog
FORM PREP_CATALOG USING VALUE(P_FIELDNM)
                                                              VALUE(P_SELTEXT)
                                                              VALUE(P_KEY)
                                                              VALUE(P_HOTSPOT) .
WA_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = P_FIELDNM .
WA_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_M = P_SELTEXT .
WA_FIELDCAT-KEY = P_KEY .
WA_FIELDCAT-HOTSPOT = P_HOTSPOT .
APPEND WA_FIELDCAT TO IT_FIELDCAT .
ENDFORM .
          Above code will repeat the execution of subroutine PREP_CATALOG for every set of values passed to subroutine because we used
USING : (chain operator) to pass value to subroutine.
          Subroutine will assign passed values to corresponding field and simply appends those values in ITAB created for field catalog(IT_FIELDCAT). It repeates this process until all the passed values are appended into ITAB.
          This method will reduce complexity of the code as well as time required to write code for every field's field catalog seperatly. It does lots of work in very few lines of codes.

Scott,
I don't think there is a way to divide all numbers by a million in one shot, but you could divide the numbers by million by writing code for each amount field as needed: <?FIELD1 div 1000000?> and the use the round function <?xdoxslt:round(2.777,2)?>
combined function: <?xdoxslt:round((12345605.6 div 1000000),2)?>
Thanks,

Is there a simple way to create a custom item list for a List Picker field?

I have created a List picker field and added it to my customized version of the Incident Management form. I need to populate this List Picker with custom items (Departments) and everything I am reading about how to do that is that I have to write a
bunch on XML code. Is there a relatively simple way to populate a List Picker field with custom entries that does not require me to know scripting or XML?
Thanks in advance for any help
Mark

Assuming that you have created a Enumeration picker (i.e.
you used the authoring tool and dragged what it calls a list picker in, and then selected a list that you created in the authoring tool), then you can edit the contents of those Enum Lists using
the Lists view in the Library pane, or by editing the XML as in the last reference.
You might also be interested in the
Bulk Enum creation tool, which automates the process of creating that XML

Simple way to create rollover text?

I want to ask visitors on my page to enable pop-ups if they click on one of my quicktimes (to decrease load times, I use pop-up windows on my video-heavy pages). I want the text to appear over the still "poster" image of the quicktime when they mouseover it. Is there a simple way to do text rollover? Or do I have to make it into an image (create another jpeg for each "poster" with the text written on it)?

It would be safer to use a webpage to display the popup movie. A MIME file error exist on the MobileMe server when you either upload your movie from the Finder to the Sites folder on MobileMe or if you upload with Cyberduck.
The movie will download in Safari instead of being displayed.

Simple way to create a "RANK" on a graphical Calculation-view ?

Hi guys,
I've saw some articles around, about creating a "Rank" column, in order to select TOP N inside analysis level (Design Studio in this case).
The problem is, that all of them were incredibly complicated (comparing....), And I wonder if there's a simple way to any "Rank" function these days (or in future versions).
My source:
SAP HANA: Implementing RANK using Graphical calculation View
Thank you,
Or.

Hello Or,
Using Script based view, you can use RANK() function.
From Graphical, I have not found any way to implement RANK. So will have to wait along with you to know, if there is an easier way to implement rank from graphical calculation view.

Brilliant way to create titles from text files

It was just pointed out to me by a fellow named Greg Hester that there is a way to create titles from a Microsoft Word file using Adobe InDesign. You can create as many titles as you need, and even change text positions around from title to title. Then you export as a PNG.
If you need to go back and change a color or a font type or size or whatever, you can do that to all of them at once and then just export again. They will automatically update in Premiere Pro.
I have never even opened InDesign before, and I was able to follow the instructions in this tutorial without a strain.
The tutorial doesn't show that you can import a frame capture from the video to help position the text, but you can.
This is very cool. If you subscribe to the Creative Cloud, then you have access to InDesign.

Best would be to have this template/style functionality in the title tool itself though
Agreed.
Remember, all this InDesign thing does is create images that can be used as titles. My Macro created actual titles.
What really needs to happen is to have a plugin that creates titles from simple text files like the ones created from Notepad, so no Microsoft program is required. The file could have the text, the font style, and many other parameters, and then it could have the time to place the title on the sequence.
But in the meantime, this InDesign thing seems to be the best we can do for now. If, however, you want to use a fancy font style and it will all be in English, you can use my macro.

Does iMovie offer a simple way to split a movie for upload to YouTube?

Is there some way that I can tell iMovie to take the entire length of a movie and divide it into X# of parts and save the parts to the project library?
For example. I have a 24 minute movie and I need to get it into (3) equal parts. Is there some way to have iMovie save into Part1- 00:08:00, Part2- 00:08:00, Part3- 00:08:00
-or-
Let's say I wanted to divide the movie into (4) equal parts
Part1- 00:06:00, Part2- 00:06:00, Part3- 00:06:00, Part4- 00:06:00
-or-
Let's say I wanted to divide the movie into (2) equal parts
Part1- 00:12:00, Part2- 00:12:00
You get the picture....
Is there a fast friendly way of doing this?

Does anyone know a simple way of creating read-only DMGs from card media?

We're looking for a simple workflow to copy/archive card media from cameras.
Can anyone recommend a utility / Droplet / Applescript that will create a read-ony DMG directly from mounted card media?
Preferably something where the disk name of the DMG can be set when its created.
Thanks!
Nick

Thanks! That's a handy start.
I'll take a look at the command line options of hdiutil. Ultimately, we're looking for a workflow for non-terminal users so I imagine we'll wrap it up in AppleScript.
The idea is to make a simple drag+drop process for people shooting digital video to archive card media as read-only dmgs with custom reel names. Something like...
- select the card/folder (or drag onto AppleScript)
- enter name and location of dmg in file dialogue
- create and verify dmg
Cheers

TS3212 Apple appear to have an incorrect version of my email(one letter too many) I have tried many times but there does not seem to be any simple way of correcting this. I have now given them a new hotmail address to enable me to use the apps. Ive update

Problem as outlined above now changed to using a new hotmail address but this address appears to preclude access to my existing itunes purchased library content?
Are there any simple solutions to these problems?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Simple way to create XML files on desktop

Hello Forum
I am creating a simple application that runs of data in an
extenal XML file.
The client has not enough money to create a database and the
php middleware to facilitate the XML file creation so I am trying
to look into a way for him to create the XML from Excel perhaps...?
The person is not the most computer literate but I think if there'
s a popular or somewhat userfriendly program that I could configure
to take a bunch of rows (name, title, link, description) and export
that data properly configuered as an XML file which he can then FTP
up to the server that would be a fantastic alternative...
Does anyone have any good (or bad) experiences with such an
approach? Any recommendations for software that regular people
would know how to use? (I would like to avoid having to sit down
with him and explain him the beauty of XML...)
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Cheers
