Help me to get started, please? (Indesign CS5.5, JS)

I'm designing a catalog in Indesign (CS5.5) that has tables for each product with information like SKU number, description, pricing, etc. All of the SKU numbers are in place in the table, but the pricing information is only in an excel document. I could, of course, manually enter all of the pricing information, but since there are at least 1000 SKUs I'd rather not if I can avoid it.
To be clear, both the InDesign doc and the Excel doc have the SKU numbers, but not in the same order. I want to know if it's possible to make a script that can match the SKU from the InDesign doc to the SKU in the excel doc and fill in the relevant information in the tables.
If it is possible, where do I start? Are there any books/websites anyone would recommend? I have a decent understanding of HTML and CSS (for what it's worth), but I've never done any scripting.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

no one is willing to help? :( It is still not working.......

  • Please help me to get started!!!

    hi, i am new to java MIDlet and I am not really having any luck to get it started. I am running the newest version of NetBeans IDE. I have downloaded some MIDlet code from the sun site. However, when I pasted it onto the NetBean, the line
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
    import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
    alone with the next few lines have a red underline and a x next to it. Am I misssing some libaries or setting the wrong class path? If so how can I fix this? But the thing is that it compiles and run under most of the emulators. However, when i set the defualt to the most important emulator that I needed, the Palm OS one, it gives me this message:
    A descriptor must be specified for MIDP-Palm.
    What does this means? Please I need to know what I need to do to fix this. Also where are the compiled .java files? I looked everywhere but they were no where to be found. I am new to this so I need step-by-step instructions on how to fix those problems. Please help this newbie to get started. Thank you in advance.

  • [AS] Beast of a script needs help converting from Quark 8 to InDesign CS5

    First off, THANK YOU for even reading this post. Here's the dilema. I work in a publishing company that used an AppleScript from Quark 8 to automate our pagination from set text we pull from our sales reps worksheets. About 8 months ago we switched fully to InDesign CS5, but have had to hold onto Quark 8 to be able to keep running our pagination. I'd like to see if the geniuses (yes, I've been trolling these forums looking to solve this myself and seen some great problems fixed) on these forums can help me figure out the proper conversion I would need to be able to leave Quark 8 in the rearview.
    Here's our current code... (I warned you it was a beast)

    Hi,
    I think with this, you can already make good progress in your work.
    Good luck!
    global mydocument
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
         set mydocument to active document
         tell mydocument
              set myParaStyle to paragraph style "DUMMY TEXTS"
              tell page 1
                   set TheBounds to {0, 0, 20, 50}
                   set Ad_Box to make text frame
                   tell Ad_Box
                        set geometric bounds to TheBounds
                        set vertical justification of text frame preferences to center align
                        set contents to "This is the contents"
                   end tell
                   set myStory to parent story of Ad_Box
                   set applied paragraph style of every paragraph of myStory to myParaStyle
              end tell
         end tell
    end tell
    Your two handlers then look like this:
    on Make_Box(ThePage, TheBounds, this_angle)
         local ThePage, TheBounds, this_angle
         tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
              tell page ThePage of mydocument
                   set Ad_Box to make text frame
                   tell Ad_Box
                        set geometric bounds to TheBounds
                        set vertical justification of text frame preferences to center align
                   end tell
              end tell
         end tell
         return Ad_Box
    end Make_Box
    on get_CurrentPage(CurrentTextFrame)
         tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
              tell mydocument
                   return name of parent page of parent page of CurrentTextFrame
              end tell
         end tell
    end get_CurrentPage
    Shorter version:
    on get_CurrentPage(CurrentTextFrame)
         tell mydocument of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
              return name of parent page of parent page of CurrentTextFrame
         end tell

  • Help Needed with getting Started With Office 365 Development C# Rest API

    We have a O365 Tenant Setup with a Federated Active Directory Setip we want to be able to right code that will connect to our tenant and perform basic CRUD operations against it (ex. Creating mail boxes)
    The problem is we want this to be contained in a CLR trigger In SQL so say if a new user is added to our user table then we would create a new AD account for that user and also create a mailbox.
    But I cannot find and example on how to connect to Office 365 using the REST API (Not the SDK because you can not add the connected service to a class library) and before the required actions that we need to do. All the example I have found are with the
    SDK API and/or require window 8 and that is also not an option.
    Please help I do not know where to start, and I would love to see some examples done in c# and not using the SDK.
    Thanks,
    Andrew Day

    Hi,
    >> Instead of SharePoint URLs I would use the O365 API URL?
    Yes, in my sample code, I was accessing the File resource by using the O365 File API. In your case, you need to acquire the token to access the Mail resource and use O365 Mail API.
    By the way, I think the article
    Understand Office 365 app authentication concepts will help you to understand the authentication process in Office 365 Development.
    >> Why can I not use the SDK API with a class Library?
    Actually, you are able to reference the Office 365 .NET SDK in the class Library. But the class library project type was not supported by Visual Studio Office 365 Development Tool. As a workaround,
    you can reference the SDK manually in your project.
    Since your original question is about “getting started with Office 365 Development C# Rest API”, if you have more questions about the Office 365 SDK, I will suggest you posting a new thread
    to discuss the Office 365 SDK. It will involve more other community members to share their ideas and experience on a specific a question and for others who had a similar question could also find the valuable information quickly.

  • Help needed to get started

    Hi I am very new to Solaris and had not even seen what a UNIX screen looks before. The sys admin person left so it is all upto me to take care of the systems. That is a good thing, I'll learn, but I need some help. I have a brand new Sun V880 box sitting in the box. I have to install Solaris 10 & then Oracle 10g on it.
    As I mentioned, I am very new to the world of Solaris. I don't even know how and where to get Solaris installable CD and whether I need license. Also I know that Solaris installation is not like XP that I just run setup.exe.
    Could someone please guide me as where and how do I get started. I don't want anyone to do my work, but I need guidance. I know about Oracle 10g CD's but could someone tell me how do I begin with Solaris 10.
    The CD
    license
    parmaeters
    kernal settings
    etc.
    Any help and guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    hello,
    you can download the solaris 10 install iso's directly from sun (look under products). as far as the licensing goes, read the aup. i strongly suggest getting a book on unix basics, unix security, and another on administration. unix can be very complicated to learn how to setup and secure properly. i dont want to discourage you, but you are going to need to spend a fair amount of time on this one (learning what everything is, device names, services, package system, etc).
    good luck

  • Getting started now, before CS5

    Any points or suggestions that any @adobe.com employee would advise to be good starting steps in preparation for Flash CS5 (iPhone dev)?
    I'm one (as there are probably others) who like to start development ahead of time, before a release.  If we could get started now, and know what tips to follow (lets say developing in Flash CS4 currently) what would they be?  Could we start developing a basic application however know the restraints on what functionality to leave out of the application until CS5 rolls out, then finish our applications?
    I hope this is clear enough...
    Best,
    Brian

    Yes, I started a new table in the Getting Started Spreadsheet. I made a tab for it and started a table. Actually 2 that are now just GONE.
    I thought the same thing that it might be in another tab, but I cannot seem to locate it.
    I wasn't sure if it was because I started to make my own spreadsheet and the practice one just erases. But like you said, Jerrald, it couldn't have just disappeared.
    Does this happen if I update my numbers app?
    Thank you for helping!!

  • Help !! Getting started in Jdeveloper

    Hi!, I want start learning how to use Jdeveloper from the very beginning. I really dont know anything about it, for example , i dont know if i need more programs than the Jdeveloper complete install to use it(ex Oracle 9i), etc, and i just encountered some topics for not so newbies users, anybody could help me and tell me a link (or a file from Jdev. complete install)where can i begin from scratch learning Jdev ? .
    Thanks a lot(really...)!!
    CristiAn.

    Christian,
    Getting started is tuff. I've developed in PowerBuilder, Oracle Forms, some VB and have started with JDeveloper 9.0.2. You should download Oracle 9i database from this site. You should at least install Jdeveloper 9.0.2 (do the full install). Install db and developer on seperate machines if possible. You don't need 9iAS until you are ready to test deploying a full "system". Jdeveloper comes with the ability to run you applications within the IDE (Integrated Development Environment a.k.a. JDeveloper).
    Now for the hard part. JDeveloper is NOT EASY TO LEARN. Most of the postings on this site do not deal with the basics (in my opinion). There are a myriad of choices in JDeveloper on how to build your applications and so far, after a little over 4 weesk, I have yet to get anyone from Oracle or otherwise to point to documented "reasons" why one would/should use UIX-JSP, BC4J-JSP, UIX-XML or JClient web pages to solve either a general or specific business need. So good luck on trying to figure out what it all means.
    Lastly, this is not VB, Oracle forms or PowerBuilder so don't try and make it that (if those are in your experience).
    So, you may ask, why would I hang in there after 4 weeks of what seem like getting nowhere? I can't say, other than my instincts tell me that J2EE will be some significant part of the Software Development future.
    Good Luck, and you can be pretty sure I may not look at this post again to see if you have more questions for me (get used to that on this site too!), so follow up your questions with the idea that someone else may say more (but also be aware you may never see another reply).

  • Help getting started please

    Hi all,
    I have a 7960 which I am told is in working order, and am trying to develop a prototype application using the SDK version 4.1.1, and I'm not having much luck.
    I have installed the SDK and started the CallManager Simulator on my desktop. I do not have an actual Call Manager server.
    I have plugged in the phone to a network port on the same network. I have not connected the phone to a PC. When the phone boots up, the status line reads:
    Configuring VLAN
    Configuring IP
    Requesting Configuration
    TFTP Timeout
    I read in the phone admin guide that the network settings can be unlocked and accessed by inputting "**#" and then hitting the "settings" key, but that does absolutely nothing on my phone, so I can't get in to try and manually configure the network settings.
    I have read through the documentation and can't seem to find the step I am missing. I'm only trying at this point to develop a simple app with BTXML, but not being very familiar with the phone and CallManager, I'm not sure exactly how they talk to each other (even to the Simulator). I can't find any documentation anywhere on using the Simulator, only that it comes with the SDK.
    The CallManager Simulator config parameters have my desktop IP address and "1000" as Next DN. I have put one value in the "Messages URL" field, and the "Device Load" field has a value of "P00303010106" ( I have no idea what this means).
    The phone is not brand new - is it possible I have downloaded a version of the SDK that's not backward compatible with the phone?
    Any help here greatly appreciated.
    Bill

    Hi,
    The call manager simulator is used to assure the IP phone that it is communicating with a call manager server. The phone uses SCCP protocol to communicate with the call manager simulator it normally happens via port 2000. In regard to ur issue
    Make sure you have disabled firewall on the machine u run the call manager simulator
    Make sure the TFTP address configured in the phone is same as the call manager IP.
    Regards,
    Stephen.

  • A little help getting started please

    I have been coding massive amounts of TCL scripts for IOS and frankly, now that I'm comfortable with TCL as a language I want to make the next move. I have not been able to find a good starting point just yet to make the jump.
    I am currently waiting for a copy of the Cisco TCL programmer guide (found a used one) to show up in the mail, but this will take nearly a month.
    Can someone take the following script :
      foreach a [ list 6 7 8 9 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 ] {
      clear line $a
    And help me convert this so that if I type :
    host# clearlab
    on the CLI, it will trigger the script and for each "[confirm]" message that shows up, it sends a carriage return.
    So far, I have found that I need to register an EEM event (not so hard) and I'll need to import the Cisco libraries. I believe I'll need to also save this to flash using puts [ open...
    Any help would be immensly appreciated!

    Certainly! But it wouldn't help me to learn how to properly trigger TCL scripts from the command line
    I only recommended that particular example randomly. I actually plan to use it as a template to hopefully do much grander things
    Thanks a lot for this one though, it is also going into my library under "sometimes simple tasks are best done simple"

  • SPA3102 - Help getting started please

    I've just added an SPA3102 to my home network and configured to work with an existing (Sipgate) VOIP account. Everything is connected and working, and I'm able to make and receive calls via the VOIP and PSTN lines without issue. As I'd eventually like to get into more advanced configuration, I'd like to be able to access the web interface via my existing network (ie. without having to plug a machine directly into the ethernet port on the SPA3102). I *thought* I had configured this properly and that it would 'just work' when plugged into my existing router. Sadly that's not the case. Is there some reason I would need to plug both the 'internet' and 'ethernet' cables into my router? If not, is there something special I need to do in the configuration to allow access to the web interface via my wireless network? I've set the SPA3102 to be 192.168.0.3, and my router is 192.168.0.1. It responds to 192.168.0.3 when the ethernet cable is plugged directly into my laptop, but not via the network. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Tom

    Ok - and another update...
    It sounds like I can achieve what I want by amending the dial plan to route calls prefixed with 9 to gw0, but having done so it's not working. I get the second dial tone, enter the number, I then get a second flat tone and the number never seems to dial via the PSTN.
    Am I missing something?
    My dial plan currently looks like the following (I haven't amended the rest of it yet, I'm only interested in the gw0 routing at the moment):
    (#9,xx.:@gw0>|[2-9]xxxxxx|1xxx[2-9]xxxxxxS0|xxxxxxxxxxxx.)

  • Need help with Italics for ePub and InDesign CS5

    Could someone help a me out. I just can not find the answer to this and I know it should be simple, I am just missing it.
    I am creating an ePub from CS5 InDesign. All I want to do is have the italics that are shown in the text box in InDesign, show up in the epub file.
    I would prefer not to say what I have done (I think I have tried everything, but obviously I did them all wrong, so no point listing them) and I am hoping someone can do a simple, step by step guide to how to have italics show up in the ePub file.
    Sorry if this question is beneath everyone, this is really annoying that I can not figure this out on my own.

    Yup, done this.
    In InDesign, the text is Italic. It has the Character Style Italic associated with it.
    But when I export to ePub, it is not italic.
    Here is the HTML from the xhtml file for a single line of what is supposed to be italic text,
    <p class="normal normal-override-2" xml:lang='en-us'><span class="italic italic-override">Words that should be Italic.</span></p>
    The above line does not show up as italic in any of the 3 readers I am using to test with.
    Now, in the css sheet, the span.italic-override does not have anything associated to font-style. If I manually add the font-style italic, then re-pack everything, it works.
    It just seems to me a bit absurd to have to export the epub, unpack it, open it in dreamweaver, add the font-style, and repack it just to have something as simple as italic work.
    So, I am missing something, I get that... I just can't figure out what!

  • Starting Photoshop & Indesign cs5.1 problem

    I've got the Creative Suit CS5.1 version for the mac.
    Recently my hd of my macbook pro crashed. So I installed a new hd and installed CS5.1 again on my mac.
    I can start illustrator and dreamweaver, but when i start photoshop i get these messages:
    #1
    Could not load the user measurement data point presets file because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders.
    #2
    Could not load actions because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders.
    #3
    Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders.
    and when I start Indesign it crashes.
    What can be the problem?

    Did you do a proper install or did you try to salvage parts of the OS, Libraries, … from some back-up/s?

  • Help me figure out why my Indesign CS5 keeps crashing

    Here's the scoop:
    I created a long document (book) in CS5. I'm a novice so it was a miracle. lol.
    I needed help with the Index, so sent it to a gal with CS4 to create the Index
    She sent it back. I put it into my Indesign fine...but I then started noticing crashing if I was correcting anything, such as deleting several lines, inserting page break, doing the 4th bullet, doing the 4th of a correction, trying to move a section, changing the font size of a heading, etc. Constant crashes.
    My Crash Report: http://pastebin.com/TT9Kr45e
    I even tried making a copy to start deleting half, then delete half of that...etc...to find the problem. It only caused another crash. This was when the original doc was now next to the Copy. i.e. Indesign couldn't handle both at all.
    I'm stymied! HELP.

    It's completely updated. Was before this all started.  Here are all the facts as I know them about the crashing. Hope someone can come up with an idea.
    1) Sent my CS5 to someone in the IDML because she has CS4. She did the Index for me, and sent back to me. Crashing starts. Index issue??? If so, what??
    2) Crashing occurs when I'm trying to make changes in text: when I press delete at the top of the page (to bring back page which pushed over to next page), when I try to delete a section, changing the font of a heading, doing the 4th bullet of four items (first three bullets were fine; fourth one crashes me), doing a full return to add a space (very common reason for crashing), etc.
    3)  I have been unable to make another CDML–it stops about 45 pages from the end on "Graph 50″. I looked at my errors–found a huge body in inset on the page right about Graph 50 that I didn't need. Got rid of the inset. Could the crashing be from something in Graph 50 alone?
    4) Trying to do Split Story crashes Indesign
    5) Crash report–does it have something to do with the "library"??? If so, how do I find this?
