Entering numbers as text

I am trying to enter a zip code into the spreadsheet but the cell keeps dropping the zero. How do I format the cells to enter the numbers as text?
Thank you!

Hi RJ,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
Select the cells you wish to format.
Open the Inspector.
Click the Cell Format Inspector button (42)
Use the popup menu in the inspector to select Text.
Done
"Formatting Table Cell Values for Display" is one of the topics covered in Chapter 4, "Working with Table Cells", of the Numbers '09 User Guide. This guide, and the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide, can be downloaded using menu items in Numbers's Help menu. I would recommend downloading both, reading at least the first chapter (and the pages addressing this question) of the Numbers guide, and keeping the F & F guide for use as a reference when working with formulas.
Regards,
Barry

Entering numbers into textfield

Hi,
is there any way of entering numbers into a textfield whereby the user doesn't have to toggel the device inorder to produce said numbers- a bit like a calculator application; any suggestions welcome
James

Sure, it is very easy.
Read about TextField Input Constraints.
They are
ANY
EMAILADDR
NUMERIC
PHONENUMBER
URL
DECIMALYou need NUMERIC or DECIMAL.
You can set them in two way
1. public void setConstraints(int constraints)2. Pass to TextField constructor:
TextField(String label, String text, int maxSize, int constraints)e.g.
TextField myTextField = new TextField("myLabel", "myText", 32, TextField.NUMERIC)Read also about Input Modes. It can be also useful.

How to enter numbers in Arabic font in the fields

Hi Everyone,
I installed Adobe Reader 10.0.1 multi-Language and I am able to enter Arabic alphabet in the fields, but when I enter numbers in the fileds, it is English. I don't have this issue in MS-Word. i.e., both letters and numbers depend on my keyboard setting and is English or Arabic respectively. The numbers setting in windows in "depend on context" and I think is fine. Do you know how I can fix this issue? Is there any setting in Adobe that overwrights the Windows setting for numbers?
Thanks a lot

I won't say I am very clear about this topic. But I will give an example, which seems to show that number (in the double type) is logically of the form -000.00 while locale spacific String object can be both of the forms "000.00-" and "-000.00"
// you can show the string below (formatted) on a JLabel with the following
//<JLabel_instance>.setFont(new Font("Lucida Sans", Font.PLAIN, 22));
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new java.util.Locale("ar","EG"));
//NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new java.util.Locale("fr","Fr"));   // compare
DecimalFormat df=null;
DecimalFormatSymbols dfs= null;
if (nf instanceof DecimalFormat) {
      df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
      dfs = df.getDecimalFormatSymbols();
      dfs.setZeroDigit('\u0660');// set the beginning of the range to Arabic digits.. this can be commented out
      df.setDecimalFormatSymbols(dfs);
String formatted = nf.format(-1234567.89);

How to replace numbers with text in tax return pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro

How do I replace numbers with text in tax return pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro? The tax return was created using CCH software. Thanks for your review.

Thanks Bill for your quick reply. CCH software is one of the major
suppliers of tax return software. I found an internal source that helped me
make the changes from numbers to text i.e. "$123,456" to "See Schedule O".
I am not sure if I am working in form or final text. Thanks again! Kelly

[JS,CS3,CS4] Converting Paragraph numbering to text

I'm trying to add line numbers by applying paragraph numbering to selected text (which I call "myText"), then converting numbers to text (then later I'll use GREP to remove the period and shift them to the right).
I'm new to scripting, and wonder why the following doesn't work:
myText.bulletsAndNumberingListType=1280601709;
myText.convertBulletsAndNumberingToText();
The first line seems to add the numbering as I'd like, but the second line just makes them disappear again!
Thanks for any help you can give -- Jeremy

I just had a similar problem.
I have no idea whether my solution works in CS3.
( function() {
     var doc = app.activeDocument;
     // the image page item
     var r = doc.rectangles.item(0);
     // the destination textframe to hold the inline
     var tf = doc.textFrames.item(0);
     // it should already be tagged.
     // create a nested, blank tag
     var xe = tf.associatedXMLElement.xmlElements.add("bla");
     // copy the rect as inline
     xe.placeIntoInlineCopy(r,true);

PDF file shows different numbers of text blocks in CC 2014 and CS6

Hi,
I've inherited a file at work that displays different numbers of text blocks, depending on the version of Acrobat used to view the file. Here's the specific issue:
As viewed in CC 2014:
"Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as two text blocks -- one for "Chapter 1 - " and one for "Chapter One Title"
As viewed in CS 6:
"Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title": Appears as a single text block -- "Chapter 1 - Chapter One Title"
This occurs only with regard to single-digit chapter numbers that are whole numbers. So:
Chapter 1, Chapter 5, and Chapter 7 entries appear as two blocks in CC 2014, one block in CS6.
Chapter 2.0, Chapter 6.1, Chapter 10, entries appear in single blocks in both CC 2014 and CS6.
The PDF file was created -- I believe -- through the save-to-PDF feature in Word 2010.
Any idea what's happening here?
Thanks.
David

After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?

After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?
I have tried to convert the pdf to Word instead but same difficulty with numbers: look like numbers but not usable for calculations

Excel has a 'text to numbers' function, I would use that.

How do I see the numbers I texted on my verizon?

I have a prepaid iPhone plan. Im the only number on the account, and the acct owner. I need to see the numbers I texted/ texted me at certain times and when I go to usage the number fields are left blank? Thank you so much for your time and God bless:)

xoangelheartxo,
Keeping a tab on numbers you've contacted or numbers that have contacted you is often times very useful. So, we want to make that happen. At your convenience, I'd recommend contacting our prepaid department directly at 888-294-6804. While prepaid won't be able to verbally provide you with your request due to privacy policy, prepaid can definitely come up with a course of action to suit your needs.

[cs3][JS]Find Enter with no text in Layout

Hi,
   I need to find enter with no text(idle) in a Layout.I have used the following code.
        app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
        app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
        app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat ="\n";
        app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;

        app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
        app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
        var myFoundItems=new Array;
        myFoundItems=app.activeDocument.findGrep();
        var len=myFoundItems.length;
        alert(len);
I don't know whether my approach is correct or not? Please suggest me.
Regards
Kumar

hi Kumar,
you need to find "double enter" and then process second paragraph in each found result - but you need to process found items backward
or if you want to find empty TextFrames - you wont find them in this way - becuase empty TFs are empty no enter or any other characters

Entered Numbers Not Visible During Entry

Have a oddity on my Mac: If I try to type in values for the sliders in the Develop module, they dissapear duing entry.
1. Click on an enterable area for a slider. The text highlights.
2. Type in a value. Value is still visible.
3. As soon as the slider moves to the entered value, the text dissapears. It looks like it changes to the normally displayed gray value.
4. Tab out or click outside the area and all goes back to normal.

Automatically enter line of text

This must be easy . . .
Can anyone tell me how to use either Automator or Apple script to enter a line of text I frequently type into firefox? I'd like to be able to hit an F key (or key combo or something--anything other than cut and paste from TextEdit) to tell the computer to enter/type the text automatically.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yadz,
I have been helping someone else try and use System Events and AppleScript to click on website buttons in Safari. While this is an AppleScript it can be eventually incorporated into a "Run AppleScript" Automator action for a longer workflow if required.
I just tried out a short script to click on a text field in a webpage and type some text. Seems to work here and due to the nature of the solution should work in Firefox as well. You may have to adjust the length of the delay from 5 seconds to something shorter or longer depending on the loading of your machine.
You need to turn on the "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access panel of System Preferences.
There is also a little shareware utility that will allow you do determine the location of the mouse on the screen and it is available here:
http://alphaomega.software.free.fr/mousepositionmenu/Mouse%20Position%20Menu.htm l
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
set frontmost to true
delay 5
click at {95, 221}
keystroke "Oy vay"
end tell
end tell</pre>

Press OK again to confirm the access point name.
Enter your passphrase using the keypad to the right.

If you press the asterisk key (*) it will switch to :A or uppercase letter mode, pressing asterisk again with switch to lowercase letter mode. To enter a letter in either letter mode, you will press the associated number key to cycle through the available letters. For example: To enter a letter "c", you will press the "2" key three times.
Press OK when done.
The LCD screen will say "Connected" if the password is correct.
