Easy visual way for selecting styles.

Sometimes it's difficult to select a style name from drop down menu especially if the menu is long. So I suggest new feature which represent a semi eye dropper tool putted beside any drop down menu for any style (Character, Paragraph, Cell, Table, Object). So the user can select this tool and click on any instances of intended style like this:

I don't think this feature has been existed yet, also in the newest InDesign version.

is there any other way for marking multiple messages in Nokia 5230 rather than tapping a message----> tapping option---> then mark/ unmark ----> and finally mark... please help me
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This feature is missing on most Nokia models now a days.. Either you select ONE at a time or ALL at a time.. No option to select a few as you want..
Have a look at the PENCIL KEY application if it serves your purpose.. Google for it..

Seek easy and safe way for average users to manage the contents of Portal.

Dear all,
My boss today requested me to provide a easy, safe way for average users in my company to manage the contents of Portal themselves.
My boss request users can upload files, documents, images and text into Portal.
I know that Oracle Portal provides security control for editing Portal. But it also provides a quite complex operations for manage the contents of Portal.
I am afraid average users cannot manage it easily.
Can anyone have experience on the issues and can you give me suggestion?
Thanks a lot
George (HK)

Hi Vijay.B,
We can give privileges to manage the contents of the portal page.
Create a group and add the users into that group and for the page level privilege >>add this group as manage.
The members of the group can manage the page.I know the above is the standard strategy for users to manage the portal contents.
But, as an average user, I think it is still to complicated to manage.
For my case, I need to provide a means for average users to add news to the portal, so my priliminary idea is that I will create a portlet for news entries such as news heading, hyperlinks, text and save the entries in DB. Then, on the homepage of Portal, I will create another portlet for displaying the news headlines with hyperlink pointing to the actual URL.
thanks
George

Can I choose a backup-font for missing characters in a style? Or is there a way to select pink areas

I have to layout tons of UTF 8 data from a MySQL database.
There is one problem. The designer picked a font that does not contain the Japanese characters. But there is much inline-Japanese in the text.
So the imported text has many pink areas (characters not present in font).
So I search for any of the following options:
Is there a way to define a fall-back font (like webbrowsers do). If you view UTF in TextEdit (mac) or in the browser, all weird characters are displayed using Osaka. Is there a way to let Indesign replace pink squares with Osaka?
Is there a way to SELECT all pink squares, and apply a character-style to them? That way I can create a characterstyle with the Osaka font
Is there a way to have InDesign parse some sort of markup-elements in plain text? I could tweak the MySQL output with PHP to wrap all strange symbols in a markup-item like [japanese]blabla[/japanese]. If that would be converted to characterstyle "Japanese" on import, I would be helped a lot as well.
The font hack: is there a way to load all available characters in the designfont into Osaka and replace those characters and make Osaka2? Or would that result in a mess?
I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, as that allows to tweak font height and baseline shift to match the other font.
Does anybody know one of the four or maybe a fifth way to tackle my problem?

Thanks for standing in for me, Peter - we were hosting the extended family, I did nothing but cook for hours.

This is what I'd do, honestly. It depends on your available output-from-DB formats, and what you're placing/importing into ID. But if you're placing raw text (?) then you can't simply use Type -> Find Font, so the GREP solutions offered here are good ones.
I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, as that allows to tweak font height and baseline shift to match the other font.
Note that the "baseline" in Japanese is not the same place as the baseline in Latin-script. Japanese doesn't really have a baseline - they operate with a completely separate set of typographical conventions - but the effect is that you should not line up the bottom of your Japanese glyphs with the Latin-script baseline. Set some bilingual text in a good font (Kozuka Mincho Pro, it came with ID, you probably already have it installed) and take a look.
it is very important that you have the correct glyphs or you risk changing the meanings or making the author look like an idiot. If you don't read Japanese you would be well advised to have the document checked by someone who does to be sure it reads OK before it goes into the wild.
Chances that you'll make something completely illegible are minimal when handling Japanese, but there are a very large number of reasons why you can't just flow Japanese into English-language ID and expect it to work. There are permissible places to wrap Japanese, and places where it's not permissible. The paragraph composer you'd be using if you are using English-language ID will happily break Japanese in the wrong place. This is analagous to bad hyphenation, but looks far more idiotic to the Japanese readership than bad hyphenation looks to an English-language readership (who probably wouldn't notice bad hyphenation unlesss they happen to be a design-savvy readership). Look into using something like Japanese Indesign or World Tools Pro or the TransPacific Digital Japanese-composer template files.

Easy way for tiny selections?

what is a handy way to select 1 or 3 frames,
cuz i might have a lot, especially in the source panel.
(building that staccato effect)
thanks,
steve z denver

to select the destination track: right click on the very left of this track and select "Assign Source Video". The frames will be inserted at the current playhead time, if you didnt set in- and out- point in the sequence, otherwise it will place them between in- and out-point.

Ipod isn't showing up as a playlist for easy transfer of manually selected songs?

Hey Apple Support Community. Previously iTunes allowed me to add songs individually to fill up my ipod bu right clicking and adding the song to the ipod by way of the "add song to playlist" option in the drop down box. Sunddenly my ipod isn't showing up as a playlist for easy transfer of manually selected songs? I've had to create a temporary playlist and use the "autofill" on the ipod screen to add the songs I want. It's kind-of tedious. What happened? Has iTunes changed the way you're allowed to fill up your ipod? Or is there some glitch in my ipod that iTunes can't see it so as to provide it as an option for being a playlist?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
mike

a few typos:
"bu" should be "by"....fill up my ipod by right clicking...
"Sunddenly" of course should be "Suddenly"

Does anyone know if there is a way of getting a visual timeline for tasks using Mac like outlook offers?

I would like to organize my tasks using a programme that gives me a timeline of my tasks in a visual way like bars etc. I am using Toodledo at the moment and although it's brilliant it does not offer this option. I like outlook for this but can't find any other programms that do the same thing without having to re-insert all my tasks etc. Is there a way that ical can do this?

I'm a bit vague about what it is you wish to accomplish. Are you trying to capture video through an external box? If so, that's not posssible with any of the Canopus boxes I'm familar with. In fact I don't know of any external video capture solution that works with an iPad, though I can't state definitively that none exist. I really don't think an iPad would be well suited for this even if it's possible. I'd strongly suggest you look into a MacBook Air or one of the current MacBook Pros. Those are far better suited for on-the-fly video capture and editing.
If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further what it is you wish to accomplish.
Regards.

Easy way of selecting JPEGs paired with RAW twin

I really need an easy way to select JPEG files that become redundant because I also have the RAW files. Single JPEGs should then be left out.

Isn't there an easier way for iPhoto to show (Photoshop) edited RAW photos?

Hi fellow Apple community members, below is a (very) detailed description of my problem>
Once I'm done shooting with my Canon DSLR i auto-import my pics into iPhoto '11.
My pics are shot in RAW format.
I have Photoshop CS6 set as my default image editor via iPhoto.
Once my image is edited via Photoshop i then save the image with two different methods:
i use the "save image..." button in the Camera RAW editing window and proceed to save the image in the same location and the same as the original name in the iPhoto directory.
The second method is to open the image as a non "Smart Object" file then proceed to save the image as a JPEG via "Save As", also in the same the location and file name as the original
The problem is once i've done the saving of the file. iPhoto doesn't show edits done to the original photo or even show a edited copy.
I CAN locate the edited images via the route directory within iPhoto's Finder menus.
So i assumed if i imported those edited copies it would then show in iPhoto but no cigar - A error message pops up: "The following file could not be imported . The file is in the iPhoto Library."
I then re-locate the edit files to another location, then import it into iPhoto and only then does it shows up in iPhoto - successfully edited.
So my question would be...isn't there a better or easier way for iPhoto to show your edited photos without having to jump through so many hoops?

There is no solution to this - and the same problem arises with Aperture too. The question to ask yourself is which Raw processor you want to use and then your Photos go there first.
As Larry says, iPhoto is pretty much pointed at the shooter with a point and shoot or phone who takes snaps to share with family and friends. Pros or serious hobbyits, people shooting large volumes, people shooting Raw migrate to the more powerful apps sooner or later.
Going forward, I would suggest that you explore apps like Lightroom and Aperture which make the Raw processing - and many other - element of Photoshop redundant. While iPhoto uses the same processing engine as Aperture it has less fine control. Photoshop for the photographer is on the way out. It's too expensive, most of its features are aimed at graphic artists rather than shooters. The future for Photographers is apps like Aperture, Lightroom with something like Elements for the odd touchups that these apps can't manage.

Any way to select Ethernet ports for outgoing SMTP mail?

We've got an Xserve G4 running OS X Tiger Server 10.4.6. We're hosting two domains for Web and Mail services (call them mydomain1.com and mydomain2.com). Web service is running great, and Mail service is running fairly well except for one minor snafu I can't seem to figure out.
The problem is that outbound SMTP mail is always directed out through the same Ethernet port -- the primary Ethernet port. What I would like to have happen is that mail coming from [email protected] addresses go out through the primary Ethernet port (mail.mydomain1.com) and mail coming from [email protected] addresses go out through a secondary Ethernet port (mail.mydomain2.com). If we don't do this, there's a few mail servers out there who become paranoid and think we're spamming them -- they see mail coming from an IP address associated with the mydomain1.com domain for a user with a mydomain2.com ReplyTo address.
Does anyone know of any way to select which port gets used for outbound mail selectively? Offhand I can't see any solution except to get a second e-mail server to handle mail for mydomain2.com.
This may not impact the issue, but for incoming mail I'm making use of virtual domains (but not virtual hosts) so that mail can be received by a user in any of the following ways:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, I found the solution in case anyone else is having this same problem. What I did was:
1. Delete the MobileMe account from the iPhone
2. Create the POP account with the proper inbound and outbound settings
3. iPhone will attempt to connect to the POP via SSL which fails and prompts to go sans-SSL
4. Accept the non-SSL option and back out of the Mail setup
5. Create the MobileMe account
6. Tap Add SMTP server
7. The POP account's SMTP server will be listed, turn it on
6. Turn off MobileMe's SMTP server
9. Back out to view accounts and select the POP account
10. Disable the POP account (prevents duplicate emails)
It turns out that the phone will allow you to turn of SSL on POP accounts because it goes through the process of checking to see if it can use SSL -- when that fails, you have the option to turn it off. Because of the way MobileMe sets up, you don't have that option on that account which is why you need to create the POP first.

Any way to select all emails for delete with one touch?

The only time I really need to see emails on my iPhone is when I am away from home. When I am home, and receive a huge number of emails on my iMac, I also receive the same ones on my iPhone.
I review them on the iMac, and then have to delete them from the iPhone. I go into the account on the iPhone and touch edit, but then have to scroll and check off each one so I can delete them.
Is there any way to "select all" instead of checking off each one?

The iPhone's mail client does not synchronize with the incoming mail server for a POP account. The iPhone's mail client is no different in this regard from accessing a POP account with an email client on your computer. You have an option to remove messages from the server when downloaded for a POP account with the iPhone's mail client as is available with an email client used on your computer to access a POP account.
All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account including with the iPhone's mail client. A POP account is not synchronized with the server - not with the iPhone's mail client or with an email client on your computer.
