How can I turn dropped text into .txt instead of .textClipping files?

I like the idea of being able to select text, drag it and drop it, and have the finder save it as a file. But I don't like the .textClipping files that it creates by default. Is there a preference or a .plist flag I can set somewhere to tell it to just use good old plain text instead?

Nope. That's the way it is. However, you can select the clipping, open it, select all, and paste it into a TextEdit or other text editing program.

  • How can I turn off text auto-correct in Number IOS?

    I use Numbers as a project workbook and it drives me insane I cant turn off text auto-correct. I use a bunch of abbreviations that Numbers wont allow without constantly changing to the extent that its almost useless.

    Auto correct is controlled at the system, not apps, level (with a few possible exceptions, but Numbers isn't one of them).

  • How can I turn mac mini into wifi access point for iPhone?

    Hi,
    I do not have a wifi router.
    I want my iPhone to be able to use my broadband internet instead of the slow EDGE internet.
    The simple solution would be to buy a wifi router whih would enable my iPhone to access the wifi home network.
    *What if I could turn the mac mini into a wifi access point?* That would save me from the hassle of buying a wifi router.
    Any idea how to do this??

    I did this.
    I think I am doing something wrong. I am doing something wrong in this setting *from ethernet to airport*.
    see attached screenshot.
    To start Internet sharing on a computer using Mac OS X:
    1. Open System Preferences, click Sharing, and then click Internet.
    2. Select how you would like to share your Internet connection, and then click Start. You
    can choose to share your Internet connection with AirPort-enabled computers,
    computers with built-in Ethernet, or both.
    Note:
    If your Internet connection and your local network use the same port (built-in
    Ethernet, for example), contact your ISP before you turn on Internet sharing. In some
    cases (if you use a cable modem, for example) you might unintentionally affect the
    network settings of other ISP customers, and your ISP might terminate your service to
    prevent you from disrupting its network.
    3. If you want to share your Internet connection with computers using AirPort, click
    AirPort Options to give your network a name and password.

  • How can I turn off text recognition when converting PDF to Word?

    I just converted a PDF to Word.  It was an image file, but the converter recognized certain lines in the illustration as text elements, so some of the pictures are "chopped up".  Is there a way to "turn off" the text recognition feature so that I can keep my images intact?  Thanks for your help!

  • How can I get my text into a wedge shape (without losing quality)?

    I'm using PS CS3... So the effect I'm going for is like what you would get if you had an image, and you do Edit > Transform > Distorted it, moving the lower right corner towards the center. The problem is that Distort is not an option for text layers . I tried making my text layer into an image layer and distorting it, but this method make my letters look pixelated. The closest I've got is to do Layer > Type > Warp Text with zero Bend and a negative Horizontal Distortion... But doing that makes both the top AND bottom of my text taper inward. I only want the BOTTOM part of the text to slope. Please help!

    One could convert the Text to a Smart Object and then apply the Distortion or Warp.
    If the result appears pixelated one could open the SO and increase the resolution, which should alleviate the problem somewhat.
    Edit: In CS3 the perspectival transformation for SOs is not directly available, but can be simulated with Warp.
    A further option would be creating a Layer with a Vector Mask from the Text (Layers – Type – Convert to Shape; best done on a duplicate of the original text layer) and transform that; this would maintain sharp edges at the price of losing text-editability.

  • How can I turn captured video into a DVD

    I am a premiere newbie. Can anyone tell me the basic steps to take captured video (already can do..) and turn it into a DVD which can be read on a regular TV-DVD player.? Even a few basic starter steps to send me down the right road would be helpful and VERY appreciated. I can capture to Premiere (Pro CS4), but then what? Thank you!!

    OK, you've got your material Captured from your camera. It should appear in your Project Panel. At this point, your Timeline will be empty. This is where the editing comes in. I'll keep it simple, as there are a couple of ways to do this.
    1.) from the Project Panel, drag each Video Clip to the Timeline's Video Track 1. The accompanying Audio wll come in with it, and should go to Audio Track 1, below that little "beltline," that separates your Video (above) and Audio (below).
    2.) you can alter the Duration of your Clip by click-dragging on the Head, to shorten it there, or from the Tail, to shorten it there. If you have material that you wish to remove from anywhere but the Head or Tail, look in the Toolbox, usually to the lower-right, but it can be moved. There is a Razor icon. Place the CTI (Current Time Indicator - that little triangle with a red line, that moves when you hit the Spacebar) where you wish to Cut with the Razor. Click with the Razor selected and both Video and Audio will be sliced. Move to where you wish this extra footage to end, and do the same thing. Rt-click on this new "Clip" and Choose Ripple Delete. This will remove that segment and close up the other parts of the Clip. Repeat for all of the rest of your media Assets.
    3.) add any Transitions, music, etc.
    4.) when done, you will Export this to Adobe Encore for DVD authoring. There are several ways to do this, but Adobe Dynamic Link is probably the easiest way.
    5.) in Encore (if you use DL all selected Timelines will come into that program w/ Audio and Video), you create your navigation with Menus (Encore has a full Library of these).
    6.) Check Project
    7.) when done, chose File>Burn to DVD.
    Note: use good media, like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden and burn at the slowest possible speed.
    Done and good luck,
    Hunt
    PS remember that there are many ways to do the steps above. The manual and the Help files will go into a lot more detail, and you might find that you like another way better. Read, and then experiment.

  • How can I turn this output into a variable

    I have a script to query all the servers in AD
    Import-Module active*
    $rtn = $null

    ForEach-Object {
    $rtn = Test-Connection -CN $_.dnshostname -Count 1 -BufferSize 16 -Quiet
    IF($rtn -match 'True') {write-host -ForegroundColor green $_.dnshostname}
    I want to make the output a variable
    Easy way would be:
    $Servers = Get-ADComputer -Filter {operatingsystem -like "*server*"}
    Problem is this would waist time waiting for queries against disabled/powered off machines to error out
    I don't know how to use if statements in variables

    Hi,
    You can do something like this:
    $aliveServers = @()
    Get-ADComputer -Filter "OperatingSystem -like '*Server*'" | ForEach {
    If (Test-Connection -ComputerName $_.Name -Count 1 -Quiet) {
    $aliveServers += $_
    $aliveServers | Sort Name

  • How can I turn my video into a still photo to be copied for a book?

    I accidentally took a 2 second video with my iPhone.  I just wanted a still photo.  I want to put the photo in a photo book.  I know I can shorten, or trim, the viedo.  But can I stop it entirely so it becomes a photo that I can print?  How do I do that?

    There's an App for that....
    Go to the Apps store and search for Megaphone. There are a few Apps available that may or may not meet your needs. You will have to read the descriptions and reviews to decide - some of them are free.

    On your iMac visit System Preferences>Sharing>Internet Sharing
    If your iMac is wired to your internet connection simply share your Ethernet connection to computers using Airport.
    Set up Airport/WIFI coming from your iMac by visiting AirPort Options in bottom right corner of Sharing... Choose your name, channel, WEP password...hit OK. Close sharing preferences.
    Jump on your iPad and under settings choose your iMac wifi that you had just configured.
    Obviously your iMac needs to be on for your iPad to continue using wifi...and these quick steps apply to your iMac only if you are connected via Ethernet and not already wifi.

  • How can I turn a text file to a String?

  • How can I turn subtitles on & off when playing an MP4 file?

    I bought an iPad Air two days ago and I am a total newcomer to the Apple community. Some of my Blu-ray and DVD collection has been ripped to MKV files and I have used Handbrake on my PC to create iPad-optimised MP4 conversions of some of these files. On one of these conversions I included an English subtitle track set as the default. On another, I also included an English subtitle track but did not click the Default option in Handbrake.
    Both these MP4 files have now been transferred to my iPad via iTunes. I can play these videos but I cannot find a way to suppress the default subtitles in one case or turn on the non-default subtitles in the other case. I have tried both the standard iPad 'Videos' app and the latest iPad version of VLC but cannot find an on/off switch for subtitles in either app. Am I missing something or do I need a different app?
    BTW, I was surprised to find that loading an MP4 file into my iPad's 'Films' library made it visible to the Videos app but not to VLC. A second copy of each video had to be transferred to the iPad specifically for the use of VLC, which seems like a pointless waste of the limited space on my 64GB iPad. Is this normal or have I misunderstood something?

    I think I figured it out.
    Thanks anyway. p

  • How can I turn off the Typekit font check when opening files in InDesign

    Adobe InDesign CC, Version 9.2.1 x32
    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    Every time I open an existing file in InDesign which is using a font I have installed on my PC I get the following message:
    "No matches were found on TypeKit, click "Find Font" to replace with fonts that exist on your computer"
    I'm able to click on Find Font and then select the font that TypeKit is unable to find - can I stop it checking for this as I have the font installed on my local machine?
    Many thanks.

    Hi Adrian,
    I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Some users have reported an issue in the current version of InDesign which can temporarily deactivate installed fonts. Please note that this is actually unrelated to Typekit; it just happens to occur at the time you see our logo in the missing fonts window.
    The InDesign team is still investigating the factors which trigger this situation, but the basic issue is this: the Missing Fonts dialog causes fonts which are managed through Extensis Suitcase and FontExplorer to not auto-activate correctly, or for managed fonts to even be visible in the application after upgrade.
    In both cases, the InDesign Missing Fonts dialog appears to override the Font Management tool dialogs that allow users to manage fonts within the Application.
    If you use Suitcase Fusion, there is a simple configuration change needed:
    1. close the Missing Fonts window
    3. go to the Type menu and select "Suitcase Fusion 5".
    3. From the submenu, choose "Library" and then check "All Libraries" so all fonts can be auto-activated as needed
    4. from the Type menu, select "Suitcase Fusion 5" again, and then "Check Document’s Fonts" to activate the missing fonts,
    If the font is being managed by Suitcase, it will find and update the fonts.
    In FontExplorer, if your managed fonts are not visible in InDesign after upgrading to InDesign 9.2
    Go to FontExplorer/Tools and select
    1. Clean System Font Caches (this will require a system reboot)
    2. Clean Application Font Caches
    On non-Mavericks systems, you will need to de-activate and then reactivate font protection.  Launch a terminal window and enter
    sudo atsutil fontprotection -off
    Then enter
    sudo atsutil fontprotection -on
    Relaunch InDesign. your managed fonts should now be visible and auto-activation should work.
    The fonts can always be activated from within the Font Management software itself, even with the missing fonts dialog open.
    The InDesign team is looking into the issue to determine the root cause as well; our apologies for any inconvenience it causes in the meantime.
    Cheers,
    Benjamin
