.EML formatted documents in Spotlight

I run MSOffice for Mac 2011 v 14.2.2.  When i save emails, i drag them into the appropriate DropBox folder, and it saves them as *.EML  Finder used to be able to search for words within the EML documents saved on the disc, but when I installed Lion, I am no longer able to do this.  Does Alfred search text inside an EML formatted document?
After a couple of hours a the Apple store today, the Apple Geniuses exhausted all of their resources and finally gave up.  They said that when they came out with Lion, they no longer index the contents of .eml files.  They said that what the engineers have done, they can't undo.  He referred me to this article: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/1421-can-n o-longer-search-e-mail-folders-after/34bc6aee-be47-4422-b5a4-ba03adbcef13?msgId= 2ba11371-21c0-4053-8bfe-19f581785e80
I told him that I had found this website that says that you can change the configuration
so that a finder search will reveal the text of .eml files:

The Genius bar people said that they would not recommend using terminal commands as a work around for this problem.  I am uncomfortable with doing this on my own.  So, Apple left me without a solution and I am still looking.  Thanks for your help.

Utilizing Oracle Text, you can index and search the files (MS Word & text) whether they exist in or out of the database. Formatting will be maintained in either case.

However, if you are interested in the database being able to secure and backup & recover the files, then you will want to keep them in the database.

  • What is a "document" in Spotlight?

    I was searching for an old Word document from the Finder and could not locate it. I found the file by date and went back to figure out why I didn't find it the first time. I had put keywords in the search field and added Kind as Document. If I turn that off, it finds the document. With it on, it does not locate it. What is a Document to Spotlight? How else would you specify Word documents if not as Document?

    Apple's definition of a Document in Spotlight is about the most useless thing ever. I don't use it. Technically, "Document" is defined in a search by the Raw Query of "kMDItemContentTypeTree = public.content"--which includes dang near every sort of file--except, evidently, your Word documents (my MSWord docs, created in the Office 2004 version of Word, are included in the Document definition).
    If I were trying to get only MS Word documents, I would use "Kind is Other" and type Word into the blank field. That will cover Word docs created in my version of MS Office, whose kind is defined as "Microsoft Word Document" in their metadata, and will also bring up Word documents going all the way back to Word 97, whose kind is defined as "Word 97 Format (.doc)" in their metadata. I don't have the more recent version of MS Word, but you can check one of your files with GetInfo and see what it says for Kind.

    I tried to create a table that contained the text of every document,using ctx_doc.Filter, in this way
    create table doc_filter
    query_id number constraint doc_filter_key primary key,
    document clob,

    end;
    but if i runned from php
    select format from doc_filter where query_id=2 ;
    the result was a not formatted document..

  • Converting spool request into multiple pdf formated documents

  • Importing MS Word formatted document, format changes!?

    I'm showing my ignorance of this product again (and apologies for that being the case, as I'm really trying to get up to speed on this product but seem to keep failing at it...  I swear I actually did understand PageMaker and other similar products when they were in their heyday!), but I'm struggling to import formatted text into a structured FrameMaker document (book).
    I'm cheating a bit and have copied a .book (and all the included files) from a prior document that was created by the tech writer that I'm working to fill-in for.  The main section of that .book includes a .fm file that is the primary document.  There are several other pieces of the book that I have successfully updated (for now), including the table of contents (which will likely lead to frustration later when I need to update the entire .book).
    Anyway, I select all of the text in the flow that I want to replace, delete it all (whee, gone that quickly!) and then use File > Import to import an MS Word 2007 formatted document.  That document includes a numbered list that has sub numbers as part of it...
    For example:
    1. Heading...
    Text...
    * Bulleted List
    * Bulleted List item, etc.
    1.1 Further information related to 1 above
    More text
    * More bulleted lists
    - sub to that bullet list
    - additional sub to the bulleted list
    * More bullet list
    2. New Heading
    Hopefully that comes through in a way that helps what I'm working with make sense.
    Anyway, I want to import the nicely formatted MS Word document back into Frame to replace the content that was there before.  Alternatively, if there is a simple way to edit the content that was there previously and retain the bulk of the formatting, then I'm game.  The key thing for me is getting the numbered list to look and work right, with the sub numbers where needed.  When I tried to edit the text that was there and get the listing right I'm lost as to how to edit it in a way that makes sense to me.  Again, it may just be ignorance on my part, and again I apologize and appreciate any assistance anyone can lend.
    I swear FrameMaker 9 just makes me long for the good old days of working on a Xyvision system (or even worse the old Penta system that I worked on before that), or at least makes me want to find a copy of Quark Xpress or something similar ;-)
    Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be lent to this poor lost soul :-}

    Barry,
    but I'm struggling to import formatted text into a structured FrameMaker document (book).
    import an MS Word 2007 formatted document.
    First, I doubt that you are working with a structured document. If you are, you do not want to import a Word file into a structured Frame document, because you will then have to apply the structure. A structured document is like an XML document but with the formatting added. That is, a structured document has elements inside elements, etc. To see whether it really is a structured document, open one up, place the insertion point inside a text flow, and select StructureTools > Structure View (FrameMaker 9), or something similar for your version of Frame. You should see a window with little rounded boxes hanging from vertical lines...that is the document's structure. If the window is empty, you do not have a structured document.
    Furthermore, importing a formatted Word file into an unstructured Frame document does not guarantee the same formatting in Frame as in Word. I never do it, so I will let others explain more about that.
    Alternatively, if there is a simple way to edit the content that was there previously and retain the bulk of the formatting, then I'm game.  The key thing for me is getting the numbered list to look and work right, with the sub numbers where needed.
    Of course, FrameMaker allows you to edit its files. In an unstructured document, you format things virtually the same as you do in Word, that is, you apply styles (also called tags) to paragraphs. So, you have to be, or get, familiar with the available styles. For nested lists, there are typically two styles for each level of the list. One of the styles/tags will have a name indicating it is the tag to be used for the FIRST item in the list. This tag resets the numbering to 1. For example, if the outer list has a tag named numbered_list, then there is likely another tag named numbered_list_first. The numbered_list_first tag is applied to the first item in the list and the numbered_list tag is applied to the remaining items in the list. The "first" tag restarts the numbering and the other tag simply increments the numbering.
    Sublists might have tags like sublist_numbering. I have seen tags named list_alpha (for lists numbered with letters), list_roman (for lists numbered with roman numerals), etc. It all depends upon how the tags were created and by whom.
    I suggest you read more about this in the FrameMaker user manual. The user manual explains the guts of list numbering.
    I hope this helps,
    Van

  • Put a Landscape page in a Portrait format Document

    Hi guys,
    Any idea how come put a Landscape page in all Portrait format Document? Some tables needs to go on landscape format as is a scientific report and the author wanted this way.
    Thanks for any clue,
    Cheers,
    Sebastiao

    Depends on your version, and what you mean by a landscape page.
    CS 4 allows you to rotate a spread view, but the page size and shape remain the same. This is what most people mean by a landscape page in a portrait doc, but you might really mean a page the same height, but wider, that needs to fold out -- common in technical work. For that you need to add a page or more to your spread (and don't forget that page also has a reverse, so add it to the corresponding opposite spread, too).
    For earlier versions of ID you can rotate the text frame on the page where the table goes and tip your head, or you can make a separate document and combine it in a book, but ultimately you'll need to either rotate it back for printing or do the fold-out as above, so I'd stick with rotating the frame for just one or two tables.
    Fold-out pages require special handling and a discussion with the printer.

  • Does SAP DMS support EML format

    Does SAP DMS support EML format, and how can I make it work?
    I know I may need to add a new workstation applications for EML in DC30, but I don't know the detailed settings for e.g: mime-types and viewer configuration, etc. Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    generally you can define a workstatiosn application for any file format. If the format has an extension with more than 3 characters please set the flag "You cannot rename...." in transaction DC30 to avoid problems.
    Regarding the mime-type field I have to say that this is recommended by not really mandatory. Normally you should find the correct mime-type for the file format in the Internet.
    In DC30 I would also recommend you to use the parameter %AUTO%%NO-LEAVE% at "Define workstation application in network". With this parameter the EML files will be opened in an external application.
    In the field "file format" you just have to enter the value '*.eml'.
    I hope that this information could be usful.
    Regards,

  • Large Format Document will not print

    Using Photoshop CS3 On IMac Intel Core Mac OS 10.4.1. Created a large format document using scanned photos and documents. I created a poster 20X40 but when attempting to export the "print" option is greyed out. Saved the document to my desktop, it is a huge file 3.4 GB. Saved it to a CD and took it to Kinkos to be printed. They say it crashed their system and they likewise cannot get it to print and cannot save it to a pdf or any other file. I am new to photoshop and my son set up the document, I just filled it in so not sure what I did wrong. Any suggestions?

    eileen,
    >I have a call into Kinkos on the color their Mac guy is not in.
    You probably don't have to speak with a "Mac guy" as Photoshop files are platform-neutral. Speak to anyone in their "print shop" and ask what their file requirements are for "giant prints".
    In addition to choices of media, mounting options and prices, you want to know:
    Format
    Recommended resolution
    Maximum file size (pixels x pixels and file "weight"), if any
    Color mode
    Any specific "do's and don'ts"

    It can't be done in  Pages, hence you don't find the solution in Pages help!
    You can rotate the table on the page instead. Press Cmd and drag the right lower corner 90 degrees

  • "formatting Document" hangs when opening page in GLCS using XP Pro

    I've just installed GoLive CS on a new computer running XP Pro, (4 gigs memory (really 3.5), Core2 Quad processor). My old computer's OS was W2K and it ran GLCS wthout any issues. With the new system, when opening a page from the site folder an "Open Document" window pops up with a message saying "formatting document." This window hangs, it won't close and the progress bar remains empty. It seems to be stuck.  The pop-up doesn't go away until GoLive is closed. This never happened when running under W2K on the old computer, it has only showed up since using XP Pro on the new computer.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on where to start troubleshooting this issue. Obviously, I cannot work on my site until this litte quirk goes away. Your help is most appreciated.
    Carol

    This is additional information I've discovered since posting the original message. It appears that the pop-up is a status window that shows the current task when working on a page. As mentioned in my original message, I never saw this when using the W2K OS, so I'm thinking it must be an XP related thing. How can I turn this off? I've been thru preferences and all the view settings, but have not found the key to getting rid of the status window, short of closing GoLive.
    The attached image shows the pop-up window.
    And thanks to Kate (if I remember correctly), I've signed up for the GoLive disucssion at Lasso and will post this question there once I figure out how to post queries.

  • Stuck Editing text in Acrobat 9 in an already formatted document.

    This is very basic, but I cannot find the technical answer in HELP menu.
    I have received a document already formatted in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I have to make corrections. I know how to delete words or change words. However when I have to ADD IN extra words the page does not automatically reformat as in MS Word. Instead the line gets longer and juts out beyond all the other lines on the right hand side.(upsets the justification).If the line is last in the page, it does not push the text over onto the next page. How can I insert text like I would do in MS Word?

    You do not have a choice at this point, but if the tags were selected when the PDF was created you may get almost prefect recovery into WORD. At this point, just try saving as a DOC file and it will either work well or not. If not, you have the choice of either reformatting yourself or asking for the original. There is not really much else you can do other than purchasing one of the 3rd party products that do a better conversion than Acrobat does, though Acrobat has gotten better with each release from what I have seen.

  • Certain PDF documents not spotlight-indexed nor copy/paste to TextEdit

    Hello,
    I've got a problem with certain PDF documents and Preview.app. I can read them perfectly by eye (I understand there's an overlying image?) but the text characters, when copied and pasted into TextEdit, are little rectangles with a tiny alien face (?) inside. TextEdit states the font is "LastResort", but doesn't allow to change the font, nor can I save the TextEdit document ("UTF-8 cannot be used for saving the document").
    The worst about all is that Spotlight doesn't recognise the PDF files, they are not indexed, so I cannot search for text inside.
    I tried to open the PDF document with Adobe Reader, which opens the document, copies and pastes into TextEdit without a problem, so I believe the problem must be on the Preview.app and/or System end.
    Any solution, or is this a bug? Thanks for any help!

    Any solution, or is this a bug?
    I think this has to do with the way some pdf files are constructed, mapping text to the Unicode Private Use Area (reflected by those Last Resort symbols you see) plus shortcomings of Preview compared to Adobe Reader. The only fix is to use the latter, and tell Apple you want Preview improved:
