How can I add a character globally to empty cells in an InDesign table?

I have a document with 190 tables, each with many empty cells. Client now wants m-dashes in the empty cells. Is it possible to do this in an automated fashion, without having to go cell-by-cell?

Hi Jarek,
Unfortunately I'm still getting the same "no tables found in the active document" message after modifying it the way you instructed.
Here's my current code. Hopefully you'll be able to detect my problem. I greatly apologize for my ineptitude in javascript
try 
var myCells = app.app.selection[0].cells.everyItem().getElements(); 
alert("myCells:" + myCells.length) 
for(i=0; i<myCells.length; i++) 
    if(myCells[i].contents == "") 
        myCells[i].contents = "N/A" 
catch(myError) 
    alert("no tables found in the active document")

  • How can I add a character to the end of any text that is entered into a fillable field?

    I am creating a fillable PDF in the form of a business letter.  To start the letter, the form has Dear [fillable field for name].  I need a script that will enter a colon after the person inputs their name.  I have an Acrobat JavaScript scripting reference guide, but do not know where to start.
    Thanks in advance.

    Use this script as the field's custom format code:
    if (event.value) event.value+=":";

  • How can we give the option to edit the cell value of a table to user

    i have a Jtable which shows the entered values of all the expenses daily.Before saving them i want to provide an option to user for editing.How this is possible.
    I went through the TableCellEditor interface .I think it needs to be implemented some code there.
    help me out in implementing those methods.

    Might I suggest reading the JTable tutorial? And/Or perhaps purchasing a book on swing?

  • How can i add STORAGE LOCATION field which is not...............

    hi,
    sap gurus,
    good morning to all,
    how can i add STORAGE LOCATION field which is not in the standard tables namely
    KOMP, KOMK, and KOMG.
    how to include it in our FIELDS FROM FIELD CATALOGUE.
    if we include this field is there any impact on the standard tables.
    plz let me know this.
    bcz
    we are selling our products in two ways
    (1). one is straight from factory ie direct sales from factory
    if customer asks for excise invoice then we will sell thru factory and keeping freight in mind we will
    deliver him which ever is economical either rail or road.
    before coming to second case of selling the goods
    we will do STOCK TRANSPORT ORDER from plant to different storage locations.
    if we did STO thru road we have to sell the goods thru road only.
    if we did STO thru rail we have to sell the goods thru rail route only.
    (2). if the customer is not asking any excise invoice then we will send the goods thru depo/storage
    location which is not registered under excise.
    if the goods came by road then it will be delivered by road only.
    if the goods came by rail then it will be delivered by rail only.
    my logic here is
    basing on the
    storage location, transportation types, and distance i want to create condition record
    that captures exact frieght at the sales order level.
    confirm whether i am right or wrong.

    Hi,
    It is not recommended to add new fields to any SAP standard tables. It disturbs the whole SAP functionality.
    But if you have no choice expcept to change the standard tables to meet your requirement -  then you need an access key to modify the object, which is available from the market place.
    Nevertheless, the better option is to create a 'Z' table with the required fields and use that accordingly.
    Changing standard tables will have serious impact when you apply patches or do an upgrade on the existing functionality.
    REWARD POINTS IF HELPFUL

  • How can i add character from RSKC?

    Hi Experts,
    can anybody epalin wht is the use of transaction  RSKC. and How can i add character  from RSKC?
    please explain step by step..
    Thnx in advance,

    RSKC transaction is whenever you want to allow special characters in your data.
    If they are not entered in RSKC then your data load fails because of these characters.
    So whichever characters you want to allow, you need to mention over there...
    Usually the standard list is as below :
    '~!"%&''()+,-./:;<=>?#_$@0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ "^`['

  • How can I add the same transition to 200 photos?

    I'm making a slide show of over 200 photographs. How can I add the same transition between each photo without inserting it 200 times? There has to be a way to globally' insert transitions. What if I want to modify the length of the transitions or the photos? I don't want to modify each one individually.

    Daniel,
    Here are some references for you for applying a transition between all photos
    1)
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4ddb1/0
    will point you to a tutorial at muvipix.com
    Basically you do a Create Slideshow command choosing the transition before the photos are placed on the Premiere Elements Timeline. This process also specifies the duration for the "slide" and the transition.
    2)I suggest that you also read this FAQ about the resolution of photo files to be used in Premiere Elements. Even though written for an earlier version, it is still relevant (and potentially necessary) depending on the specs and status of your system

  • Using `n how can i add two empty line (two carriage return), between these two lines in the output file?

    hi friends
    using `n   how can i add two empty line (two carriage return), between these two lines in the output file?
    PS C:\> $env:COMPUTERNAME | add-content c:\file.txt
    PS C:\> $Env:USERDOMAIN  | add-content c:\file.txt
     i tested "$env:computername`n`n`n$env:userdomain" | add-content c:\file.txt   but it results in 
    myPCMyDomain
    but i wanted the contents of the output file be like this:
    MyPC
    #empty line here 
    #empty line here
    MyDomain
     i tested many other forms but didn't work.
    thanks

    I tried it, as well. The line breaks were respected in the PowerShell console, Programmer's Notepad, and Word; they weren't in Notepad.
    You are using a Unicode file.  Locale is what?
    If you just want notepad compatible line breaks then do this:
    del file.txt ; "$env:computername`r`n`r`n`r`n$env:userdomain" | add-content file.txt ;notepad file.txt
    Look in hex to see that `n is ^L or 0xA and is only one character.  CrLf is 0xD 0xA - two characters.
    My programmers editors and VS all understand a single ^L as a line break so does PowerShell.  Only DOS/Notepad and other utilitis don't understand this..
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
