How can I find a text box with a specific word in it ?

Hi,
I have hundreds of settlement names on a map created with the text tool. How can I search on the name of one of them and find it on my map ?
I am with FH9 but the method would no doubt be backwards compatible from MX. If it isnt I would launch MX just for this exercise.
Would this also work if the word was part of a text box text ?
I have the luxury of it being the entire text box !
Cheers

If you have one large text box to search for the word, select it, then go to EDIT>FIND & REPLACE>TEXT...
Type in your word and click FIND NEXT button.  If you have multiple occurances of the name, keep clicking the FIND NEXT button until the word hilites.
If you have scattered text boxes on your map, don't select any of them but still go through the EDIT>FIND & REPLACE>TEXT... routine I mentioned. FreeHand will look through all text boxes to find your word.
Oh yeah, this works the same in FreeHand 8 thru FHMX.

  • How can I make a text box with 2 columns?

    I can't figure out how to make a text box with two columns. I made one in pages and pasted it into iWeb but it seems to have turned it into an image when I published to a folder. I want to keep it text so the search engines will index it.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, David

    You will have to create two text boxes, configure them as columns and then paste into the first and cut where you want the columns to end and paste the remainder into the second column as on this page . I've tried saving a two column Word document as a web page and it just converts it to one column.

  • How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?

    How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?
    How can I replace newScale text strings with custom values?
    All  newScale text is customizable. Follow the procedure below to change the  value of any text string that appears in RequestCenter online pages.
    Procedure
    1. Find out the String ID of the text string you would like to overwrite by turning on the String ID display:
    a) Navigate to the RequestCenter.ear/config directory.
    b) Open the newscale.properties file and add the following name-value pair at the end of the file:res.format=2
    c) Save the file.
    d) Repeat steps b and c for the RmiConfig.prop and RequestCenter.prop files.
    e) Stop and restart the RequestCenter service.
    f) Log  in to RequestCenter and browse to the page that has the text you want  to overwrite. In front of the text you will now see the String ID.
    g) Note down the String ID's you want to change.
    2. Navigate to the directory: /RequestCenter.ear/RequestCenter.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/newscale/bfw.
    3. Create the following sub-directory: res/resources
    4. Create the following empty text files in the directory you just created:
    RequestCenter_0.properties
    RequestCenter_1.properties
    RequestCenter_2.properties
    RequestCenter_3.properties
    RequestCenter_4.properties
    RequestCenter_5.properties
    RequestCenter_6.properties
    RequestCenter_7.properties
    5. Add the custom text strings to the appropriate  RequestCenter_<Number>.properties file in the following manner  (name-value pair) StringID=YourCustomTextString
    Example: The StringID for "Available Work" in ServiceManager is 699.
    If you wanted to change "Available Work" to "General Inbox", you  would add the following line to the RequestCenter_0.properties file
         699=General Inbox
    Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
    Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
    String ID  File Name
    0 to 999 -> RequestCenter_0.properties
    1000 to 1999 -> RequestCenter_1.properties
    2000 to 2999 -> RequestCenter_2.properties
    3000 to 3999 -> RequestCenter_3.properties
    4000 to 4999 -> RequestCenter_4.properties
    5000 to 5999 -> RequestCenter_5.properties
    6000 to 6999 -> RequestCenter_6.properties
    7000 to 7999 -> RequestCenter_7.properties
    6. Turn off the String ID display by removing (or commenting out) the line "res.format=2" from the newscale.properties, RequestCenter.prop and RmiConfig.prop files
    7. Restart RequestCenter.
    Your customized text should be displayed.

    I've recently come across this information and it was very helpful in changing some of the inline text.
    However, one place that seemed out of reach with this method was the three main buttons on an "Order" page.  Specifically the "Add & Review Order" button was confusing some of our users.
    Through the use of JavaScript we were able to modify the label of this button.  We placed JS in the footer.html file that changes the value of the butt

  • How do i control 2 text boxes with 1 scroll bar? (CS4)

    I want to control 2 Dynamic Text boxs with the 1 scroll bar component? I want them to scroll simultaneously with the user only needing to use the one component. Thank you in advance for your help

    The textfields should have the same number of lines.  You can have the scrollbar (sb) assigned to one textfield (t1) and then have an event listener/handler for the scrollbar adjust the other textfield's (t2) scrollV property to match the first one's scrollV property:
    import fl.events.ScrollEvent;
    sb.addEventListener(ScrollEvent.SCROLL, adjustTs);
    function adjustTs(evt:ScrollEvent):void {
        t2.scrollV = t1.scrollV;

  • How can i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBOX

    Hi,
    Thank you in advance for your time, the question is how do i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBox, i dont know what code to add kindly help me out. The code i have with me is
    VBox {
    translateX: 10
    translateY: 10
    spacing: 20
    content: [
    Label {
    text: "TextBox:"
    TextBox {
    layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minWidth: 100 width: 150 maxWidth: 200 }
    ] //contents
    //VBox
    now the text box has to go to the bottom of the VBox even if the VBox has other objects or if its resized.
    Regards,
    Kibu

    Vbox, acts much like a linear layout like in other languages.
    Just keep your declared textbox at the bottom of your content (content :[] ), then the text box will continue to get pushed further down your view, as you add other controls to your content.
    layoutX and layoutY will just increase your spacing from the previous declared control in that content.

  • How can I find the text only in the custom text frame?

    Well guys, I have a problem.
    I have such code:
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "text";
    text = app.activeDocument.findText();
    position = text[0].insertionPoints[0].index
    in the variable "position" I get  global(not depending in which frame the text is) position(number of chars) of the found text, but I want to get the number of the frame where is text was found! Or how can I find only in the custome frame?
    Please, help me

    Assuming that you have some way of identifying that text frame, then it is just a matter of doing the search only against that frame. For example:
    myFrame = app.documents[0].pages[3].textFrames[5];
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "text";
    text = myFrame.findText();
    position = text[0].insertionPoints[0].index
    However, unless myFrame is the first in a story, the index will not be relative to the start of myFrame. To get that, you need:
    framePos=myFrame.characters[0].index;
    textOffsetInFrame =position - framePos;

  • How can I force iTunes to sync with an specific folder?

    I have all my music in an external drive, but anytime I start iTunes, it go to the folder created in the HDD. How can I make iTunes to sync with the folder in the external hard drive?

    You cannot sync the two devices over WiFi at all. You can turn on automatic downloads on both devices in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Automatic Downloads>Apps>On, whatever you download on one device will download to other device as well.

  • How can I make the »Text Box« blend with the background?

    I have a problem that my document is almost finished, but still I cannot solve one basic problem. My “Text box” fields are still selectable (I get the blue select/resize buttons around the text) when I click on them when reviewing my document in the reader. In this “Text box” fields there is text that is not meant to be changed by the end user. It should just be shown (blend with the background) and not selectable. This resize buttons around the text box don’t work and don’t allow the end user to change the size but their presence alone drives me crazy.
    Should I use the “Stamp” tool in this case or is there a setting (with the text box tool) that I’m missing?

    It seems that I found the solution. Is the only way to avoid the before mentioned edit box that I use the TouchUp Text tool to add text?

  • How can I view the text box history

    I don't know what it is called specifically, but I need a plugin or something that allows me to clear and view the history of what was typed into text boxes. You know how if you start typing into a text box, firefox will come up with suggestions from previous entries? That's what I mean.
    Thanks.

    That's called '''Form & Search History'''
    You can use '''Clear Recent History''' feature to clear various History items.

  • How can I make a text box in Aperture transparent??

    Hello,
    After a great trip to Thailand I want to make a book of all my pictures using Aperture 3. At some places in the book I use a title to indicate what will be shown on the image. This title is made by the text box and it is put on the image itself. Now what I would like is to make is a transparent bar of the text box, so that I still can see the details of the image through this bar and also read the text about the image easily.
    I have no problems making this text box and putting it in the right place, the thing that I don't understand, after two nights of trying, is how to make this text box transparent.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps I need to reformulate what I exactly want to do...!
    I would like to use transparent text boxes but not as transparent as the image itself. I want to show the text box as a real bar but slightly different than the original image colour. So something between a normal image and a white bar so that it will be a bit transparent but also shown as a real bar..
    I think the text boxes of each theme are identical, so yes you are right about the transparent text boxes of art collection but they are the same as photo essay.
    Do you understand what I mean?

  • How can I made a text box to accept initials or signature without signature field?

    I create forms for my clients using Adobe Pro 9.  Due to the potential lack of computer literacy of their customers, my clients would like to make a field that would accept an initial or a signature without the steps needed for a digital signature.
    The steps would be 1) customer opens form with Acrobat Reader; 2) click on Fill & Sign Tools, then create the initials to use; 3) drag the initials to the textbox.  At this point the size of the initials would correspond with the size of the text box.
    I have experimented with having the text box property Appearance-Text-Font size: Auto.  However when I opened the PDF in reader, I would have to resize the signature block.

    Hi bluecraby2k,
    If I understand your question, you don't want to use the Signature form field, because your client feels that might be too complicated for some users. Is that correct?
    The Place Signature option on the Fill & Sign tab allows you to drag a signature onto the page, but not directly into a text form field. I don't believe there's a one-to-one relationship between the form field and the Place Signature option.
    I'm going to move this discussion to the Forms forum, so the experts who visit that forum can chime in.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Please, I need help - How can I generate a text file with Word format?

    Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
    is it possible for me to create a text file - that is, with TEXT_IO.fopen, and so on - that's already formatted as a Word document?
    We have a Forms program here, where it's needed to generate a text file with .RTF format, 8 centimeters margin, Times New Roman font, with size 7.
    Best regards,
    Franklin Goncalves Jr.

    Hello Shay,
    sincere thanks for your answer. And, to answer your last question, I'm using client-server model.
    Since I couldn't create this .RTF file by using built-ins like TEXT_IO, I tried to generate an .RTF file using Reports, passing the parameters DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT, as shown below.
    add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESTYPE', text_parameter, 'FILE');
    add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESNAME', text_parameter, 'c:\franklin.rtf');
    add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESFORMAT', text_parameter, 'RTF');
    However, the just generated .RTF file is uncomprehensible. After opening the file at Microsoft Word, I can see the following message at the top of file:
    This file was created by Oracle Reports. Please view this document in Page Layout mode.
    ... and informations doesn't appear as desired.
    If I can't generate such text format by using TEXT_IO, and if generating an .RTF file through Reports shows me an incomprehensible result, how can I export the selected result to an .RTF file?
    When Reports is opened, choosing Generate to file -> RTF doesn't export anything.
    Thanks, and best regards,
    Franklin Goncalves Jr.

  • How can I add linked text boxes to Contents?

    I have a lot of sections in my chapters, and I think they are all coming in to the TOC, but the automatic text box doesn't have a blue tab, so I cannot add a new text box to continue showing the sections.  How can I make this show up? There's no layout I can manipulate for the TOC, so I cannot make the text editable, which is the suggestion that I have seen for regular linked text boxes.

    Hello,
    If you want to add image to it's background then you can select the SubMenu and use the fill option to fill an image to it.
    Make sure you uncheck "Edit together" option in Menu properties so that you can add different images to different submenus.
    And if you want to edit the text and add images to it, I would suggest you to use Manual menu. Where you can customize your own Menu and add links to the Menus and Submenus.
    Please have a look at the screenshot showing how to create Manual menu :
    Hope this helps.

    Sachin
