How can one lookup synonyms in Pages?

Hi,
I would like to lookup synonyms for certain words from within Pages (ideally by highlighting a word and left-clicking on it from the popup menu). I couldn't find such a function.
Any suggestions how to achieve this (maybe via Applescript?).
Thanks in advance,
Marc Baaden

I think support for the French language is less than impressive on the Mac. MS Word has built in French and German thesauri, but I do not know of any good independent dictionary or thesaurus. I would love being contradicted here, by the way.
Le Petit Robert is available of course, but you have to carry around the CD for random controls that you have not pirated the software, and I doubt it integrates well with Pages.
My German dictionary is WordLookup. Actually WordLookup is just a way to access dictionary data, but it works well, and you can call it from Pages using Services. It is not a thesaurus, but moving back and forth to the English translations, you can usually find good synonyms.

How can one print a particular page or pages from a Word Document using ActiveX or any other technique?

I've been trying to print a few pages from a Word document.
Currently I am able to print the entire document using some ActiveX techniques.
There seems to be facilities for selecting the particular pages, however so far I cannot get them to work.
I have tried the From/To and the Pages in the PrintOut invoke node.
And as you will see I have also tried the Range node.
Anyone have some ideas on how to do this?
Please see the attached vi.
Thanks,
Chris

How can I make a decorative page border in Pages?

How can I make a decorative page border in Pages?

Hi Janet,
I suppose that you are asking how to include a decorative border of your design into a pages document. How you design that border is rather out of the range of these discussions. So, let's say that you have a graphic that approximates a picture frame and has the required dimensions to frame your content.
If you want to have the graphic appear on every page, Drag or Insert > Choose, to incorporate your design in to the document. The position it as you want it, and then Arrange > Send to Background and Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
If there is more than one section in your document, there may be more considerations, but if you do this at the outset in the creation of your document, the design of the first section will flow to subsequent sections.
Regards,
Jerry

How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro?

How can I resize a pdf page content with annotations and highlights in Acrobat Pro while maintaining page size and annotation/highlight interactivity? I've tried to use the crop tool in Acrobat Pro (9) and the page does resize, but the highlights and annotations go all over the place. I specifically need to scale the page content smaller (83%) but maintain page size and annotation/highlight to content connection and interactivity.

An old trick (not recommended) would be to print to a new PDF with the page size selected but a scaling of the content. Only print the document, not the markup, to a new PDF. Close that PDF when done and reopen the old one (or maybe a copy of the old one for safety) and use Document Replace pages and select the new document to replace your current pages. You will then have to go back through the markup to locate it all correctly. There may be a more elegant way, but this may be the fastest.

How can I make two half page documents?

I have a full page flyer. I want to make it half page with two flyers. I tried making two columns and cutting the page in half, but the borders are wrong. How can I make two half page documents?

You can do it with columns, just make the gutter twice the width of the outside margins.
However being a Flyer why not just create one on the left using Textbooks and Shapes then group that and option shift drag it sideways to the right to make a copy on the right?

How can one invoke a WebLogic EJB from a BPEL Server hosted on OC4J?

How can one invoke a WebLogic EJB from a BPEL Server hosted on OC4J?
Reason I ask is I keep getting this error:
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate cla
ss: weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotF
oundException: weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory]
Note: I am using <bpelx:exec> as a way to execute some java program.
Essentially my java client (essentially an EJB client hosted on Oc4J) needs access to wlclient.jar since it needs access to weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory. I have a EJB client running on BPEL server hosted on Oc4J that needs to access some EJBs hosted on weblogic.
Where do I place this wlclient.jar so that BPEL PM can start peacefully and at runtime discover the InitialContextFactory classes?
Placing it in the j2ee/home/applib doesn't solve the problem. The server fails to start up if I do this
I tried placing it in BPEL-INF\lib directory ...
I still get the same exception...see below for exception dump
I verified the BPEL suitcase, and it in fact does contain the jar file wlclient.jar
integration\orabpel\domains\default\deploy contains the bpel_BPELProcess2_1.0.jar file and snapshot of that is as follows:
<PRE>
│ bpel.xml
│ BPELProcess2.bpel
│ BPELProcess2.jpr
│ BPELProcess2.wsdl
│ bpel_BPELProcess2_1.0.jar
│ build.xml
│ buildxml.copy
│ graphics.xml

│ └───lib
│ myEJB.jar
│ wlclient.jar
│
├───META-INF
│ MANIFEST.MF
│
└───output
bpel_BPELProcess2_1.0.jar
</PRE>
I tried using the BPEL-INF\jar directory...Is this something the obant automatically detects? or do I have to modify the build.xml? I created this directory and let Jdev deploy to local BPEL server->default domain handle it
#####################3
I even tried copying the wlclient.jar to
integration\orabpel\system\classes but this doesn't help since the BPEL PM fails to start if I explode this jar into this directory.
In short,where do I place the wlclient.jar so that this exception can be contained.
I edited the build.xml to point to the jar, that too didn't work, unless I made some mistake in the file
<bpelc classpath="${basedir}/BPEL-INF/classes;${home}/system/classes;${home}/lib/j2ee_1.3.01.jar;${basedir}/BPEL-INF/jar/wlclient.jar" input="${basedir}/bpel.xml" rev="${rev}" deploy="${deploy}" />

with the bpelx all I have is two lines of code that creates a java object and calls a method on it.
The method does this:
    private String initialContextFactory = "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory";
    private String providerUrl = "t3://localhost:7001";
    private String urlPkgPrefixes = "";
    private String mapEjbJndiName = "ejb/mycompany/Redlands";
    public String getDefaultMapName() {
      try {
          Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
          env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, getInitialContextFactory());
          env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, getProviderUrl());
          if (getUrlPkgPrefixes() != null && !getUrlPkgPrefixes().equals(""))
              env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, getUrlPkgPrefixes());
          System.out.println("    " + getInitialContextFactory());
          System.out.println("    " + getProviderUrl());
          System.out.println("    " + getUrlPkgPrefixes());
          System.out.println("    " + getEjbName());
          // Get a naming context
          context = new InitialContext(env);
           Object ms = context.lookup(getEjbName());
          MyEJBHome home = (MyEJBHome ) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ms, MyEJBHome.class);
          myEjb = home.create();
          return myEjb.getDefaultName();
      } catch (RemoteException re){
          System.out.println(re.getCause().getMessage());
      catch (Exception ex) {
          ex.printStackTrace();
      return null; //if unable to resolve the context factory etc...
    }

I did exactly as you suggested. I edited the application.xml and added this
<library path="C:\ArcGIS\test\bea\wlclient.jar"/>
I didn't add weblogic because the needed classes were all in wlclient.jar
I also edited the BASE_OB_CLASSPATH to include this jar.
Here is the result when I just start BPEL PM Server. Somehow BPEL PM doesn't like to have wlclient.jar in its classpath during startup.

How can one place a single image on a spread? CS3-MAC

Hi all,
i How can one place a single image on a spread? CS3-MAC
A very straight forward question I think. I just never did it before. Anyone knows of a fast technique of doing this? I have to make 70+ images this way. Could it be scripted?
thanx in advance
Michael

You'll need to be more specific. Placing a single image on one spread is drop-dead simple. File > Place, choose file, click (or click-and-drag) to place, scale and position as desired. You can ask about scripting in the
scripting forum.
You might not need to script this to get efficient use of time. Make a picture frame on the master spread and then insert 140 pages (70 2-page spreads) based on that master. File > Place, and select all 70 files. (They need to be in one folder. Click on the top file, scroll down, lick on the bottom file.) Zoom out and click once on each spread to place each image. Should work faster that writing, testing, debugging, and running a script.

How can one change the channel of a screen control within Mainstage?

The issue that I'm having is that some 3rd party apps (Dimension Pro in particular) seem to receive Sustain (64) messages on only Midi Channel 1
I'm using a multi zone controller, with sounds set in MainStage to respond to different channels. I've got it all working well except . . Dimension Pro won't "see" a controller message if it's sent from any channel other than channel 1.
I was even having the same problem with certain sounds in Kontakt.
So the question is . . how can one shift the channel of these messages over to channel 1?
Better question, how can I get Dimension Pro to respond to a controller on a channel other than 1, but I suspect this is not the forum for such questions!
Thanks in advance,
Mark
MacOS 10.7.3
MainStage 2.1.3
Axiom 61 (2nd gen) keyboard controller

You may be able to achieve the desired results by a different method. I have an Axiom, but I don't assign zones in it. I just send one zone to Mainstage and handle it all there. You can layer and or split a practically unlimited number of instruments and assign screen controls easily. You probably want to set up all screen controls at the concert level in layout mode. You can later override concert mapping in individaul patches if you want. For instance, you could use an expression pedal for volume(7) on one patch and for modulation(1) on another patch. You can send that control to one instument channel strip or you can choose to send to all. To do this, select a screen control in edit mode. In the screen control inspector, check the overide concert mapping box. You will then see two additional tabs-mappings and unmapped. Select the mappings tab. In the mapping list, double-click "Unmapped". You can the map the screen control to any single instrument channel strip in this list or send to all. Select one and then choose a mapping destination. If you want to map expression to one instrument and not others there's another way. Select an instrument channel strip, then selct MIDI input in the software channel strip inspector. Check the filter expression box. This instument will now not respond to expression, but the other intruments in this patch will. You can filter some other events on this page. The layer editor tab allows you full control ol splits and layering options of all your instruments in this patch. Hope this helps.

How can i see the next page in smartform?

i hav created a Second Page (%page 2) in Smart form.
and in that page i created one Main window and a table.
in 1st page, i defined the Next page as Page2 and
in the second page i defined the Next Page as Page2.
but only the 1st page is displaying. how can i see the next page?
what i want to do in smartform...

Hi,
The second page will be displayed only when the data does not fit in the main window of the first page and continues to the second page.
So make sure that you have enough number of line to print that it overflows to second page.

Download make booklet script from this link. You will see download for CS3 along the left side. You don't mention which version of CS you have but this should work. You can do a search for make booklet script CS4 in google if you need that one.
Place the script in your Applications>InDesign>scripts folder. Start ID, open you file, go to window>scripts>make booklet. Double click and the script will automatically create book spreads. No crops, reg or page info though. There are several cheap apps you can buy that will make books with crops, reg marks and page into for you. You'll need to search forum or google.
