How could I insert just a single cell in a table (not an entire extra row or column)?

I am having trouble making an easy edit. I need to insert an a 'CELL', but I am only being given the option to insert an entire 'ROW' or 'COLUMN'. I would like to just insert a cell and have the rest of the content below it move accordingly. Please help!

There's no way to set it so that you're just inserting a cell and everything moves along after that cell?
Simple answer is "No." Sorry.
InDesign tables are not good for juggling data. If you have a project that requires single-cell-insertion on a regular basis, I suggest doing your table outside of InDesign in an app with easier table-cell-juggling tools (Excel comes to mind here) and then perfecting you use of table and cell styles so that it's easy to update. It'll always be a hassle of some kind, of course, but the hassle can be minimized.

Writing text on an image inserted in a single cell of a table

Given a table with a cell...I can insert an image into the cell...
CAN I SOMEHOW insert text on top of the image in the cell?
Thanks, --bill

Hi bill,
in addition to John and provided that I understood your question correctly:
1. Edit the image with an image editing program. Once there, give a border around the image and then write in there your text.
2. Modify your table with another row and then write your text in this new space. Fill the frame and the resulting gaps with a "camouflage paint".
3.Seperate your image from the text with a line break and write your text directly into the column (next to, below or above the image).
4. You also could create a css rule for floating text (around your image).

Hello , how could i insert some content into a large file?

hello , how could i insert some content in a large file? ----just like a txt editor do.
assume that i have a 6G file(i think it large enough), then i wann insert one ascii character at the begining of the file,does that means:
1> i need create one 6G+1byte new file, then copy all content of the original file following by that addition character?
2> not creat new file,just set original file length to 6G+1byte,then offset all 6G byte by one byte,after all adding my one character?(it seems not some kind of optimization ...)
what should i do?
Edited by: littleJohnny on Jan 16, 2008 2:03 AM

could some means can set the read hint of 6Gbyte content after my character first read out? ----just let my addition point to the begining of 6G original content ,then the addition character take the place of the file header? ----the inster may be the same....
i just think the already used txt editor seem so fast to process insert, replace .... 2M 10M maybe.... does they doing those operation use Java Type ---String? ------read all contet into memory,then it is easy to regular expression ,relinking read order....-----does it mean large file couldn't against with pattern?
does all ctrl+s shortcut-----rewrite original file with memory relinked order? then large file could not easily manipulate its structure but all structured file is large than plain format...
just teach me some "already used txt editor " trick,thanks very much.

I could not inset DVD into my Macbook pro CD-Driver. How could I insert it/

try ejecting the drive incase there is something inside. if you are trying to say that the drive won't read DVDs that are inserted then you have a slightly larger problem. also if you do not hear a noise of some sort after seeing the eject symbol on the screen your optical drive may be broken or unresponsive in either case make an appointment with the apple store

How could I insert the deleted row into another table within a trigger?

Hi,
How could I insert the deleted row into another table within a trigger? The destination table has the same columns as the source table. Since the statements are in the trigger, it is not allowed to query the source table named 'test'. Thanks! The trigger is as follows, uncompleted:
CREATE TRIGGER delete_trigger
AFTER DELETE
ON test
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN

Hi,
I'm not sure what's wrong there.
I read the oracle docs about ANALYZE and ALL_TAB_COLUMNS, and did the following:
ANALYZE TABLE my_tab VALIDATE STRUCTURE; //went ok.
SELECT column_name
FROM all_tab_columns
WHERE table_name = 'my_tab'; //but no rows selected?
This topic might not be what this thread should be about. Here I posted a new thread:
How to get colum names of the newly created table?
Thanks.

How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

Jim,
Take heart. We can help.
First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s). A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics. Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
"View > Show Print View":
Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages. If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
ZOOMING:
Zoom into the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
SNAPSHOT
Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print.
Click the Print icon.
Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
Hope this helps!

Insert or delete single cells

How do I insert or delete a single cell?
For example, I want two columns of text. aligned horizontally, and, separated by a blank column.
The two text lists have been created in other applications.
So I copy list1, and paste it in cell C7.
Then I copy list2, and paste it cell G6.
oops. Now the lists are not aligned horizontally.
The easiest way to align the lists is by either delete a single cell in column C or insert a single cell in column G.
But I can't find the option to add/delete single cells.
Does that option exist in Numbers? If so, how/where?
Thanks,
AJ

AJ,
My first thought on reading your post was: why are you using a single table for two side-by-side lists? If you had used two single-column tables you could use Delete Row or Insert Row to do what you want.
pw and John both gave you perfectly good solutions, and I just wanted to add my two cents worth. I don't see much value in the Add/Delete Cell feature that you are looking for. The action never ends there because there's always a followup question as to what you want to do with the data to the right of and below the affected cell. So, it hasn't saved you any real time.
Numbers has a very handy and secure method for moving a range of data. Highlight the range that you want to move. Then, Edit > Mark for Move. Now, click in the new starting location and Edit > Move.
There you go; several ways to recover from the inevitable oops. Depending on how soon you discover your mistake, Command-Z is probably the easiest fix.

How to find multiple keys in single cell using Numbers?

I'm trying to add functionality to one of my Numbers tables where want to check a single cell for multiple keywords from a list. The hole thing works perfectly fine in Excel but it behaves differently in Numbers.
The formula I am using is:
=IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP(2^15;FIND($E$2:$E$11;A2)));"not found";"found")
The following screenshots show that it correctly finds the keys in the cell when using Excel but not in Numbers. Although, it seems to work if the key is in the same row as the input cell.
Excel table using the formula I posted in the C column:
Numbers table using the formula I posted in the C column:
Would be really happy if somebody knows how I could accomplish that!

If you are working in Numbers you can do this efficiently with a small AppleScript without going back to Excel or clone. One click and you get the following result:
This script works with Numbers 2.3, which your screenshot suggests you are using. If you are using Numbers 3 it needs a very small adjustment.
This is the script:
--https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6315365?tstart=30
property inputCol : 1 --> col A, as in example
property resultCol : 3 --> col C, as in example
property keysCol : 5 --> col E, as in example
property targDoc : 1 --> 1 is front document; can change to "MyDocName"
property targSheet : 1 --> 1 is first sheet; can change to "MySheetName"
property targTable : 1 --> 1 is first table; can change to "MyTableName"
tell application "Numbers"
          set t to document targDoc's sheet targSheet's table targTable
          set keysList to t's column keysCol's cells's value
          repeat with i from 2 to t's row count -- assumes 1 Header Row
                    set inputVal to t's row i's cell inputCol's value
                    if inputVal is not 0 then --skip blank cells; Numbers 2 reads blanks as 0
                              --check if Input matches a key:
                              if inputVal is in keysList then
                                        set t's row i's cell resultCol's value to "found"
                              else
                                        set t's row i's cell resultCol's value to "not found"
                              end if
                              --check if Input contains a key:
                              repeat with aKey in keysList
                                        if inputVal contains aKey then set t's row i's cell resultCol's value to "found"
                              end repeat
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell
--end of script
To run, copy into AppleScript Editor, change the properties if needed, and click the green triangle 'Run' botton.

How to disable a single cell in a table (and not the whole column)

Hi there,
I've got a webdynpro table with a few columns, rows can be created dynamically through a button in the table toolbar.
Depending on the value of a certain cell I have to disable another cell (in the same row).
I tried to manipulate the view in the modifyview but no joy. I also tried to manipulate the attribute property through the coding below:
DATA lv_knttp TYPE knttp.
lo_nd_kostl = wd_context->path_get_node( path = `MULTIVALUES.KOSTL` ).
lo_el_kostl = lo_nd_kostl->get_element( ).
lo_el_kostl->set_attribute_property(
attribute_name = 'LTEXT'
property = lo_el_kostl->e_property-enabled
value = ''
but it disables the whole column!!!! I just need the cell to be disabled (I thought the code above, through the lead selection, would affect a certain cell only - but I was wrong).
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
using cell variants you can do this.,
check this article: [Cell Variants in WDA|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/WebDynproforABAPCellVariants]
Instead of binding the read only property of table as a whole , just bind the read only property of column group of table., You can do this bu drill down the table and select the required column and bind the read only column.,
then In onAction Event of button .,
loop the table, if condition satisfied set the read only property to true else false.,!!
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & regards,
Kiran

How to set up just an email account? - it's not working

Hi there,
Could someone please let me know how to set up just an email account for a staff member?
I tried "E-mail Accounts" - Add an email account - but the password verification NEVER comes through. I've tried send password recoved but does not work (ive deleted it and tried 3 different Password recovery e-mails - gmail / local and another BC one too).. nothing is working.
So then I read the knowledge base which is out of date:
http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/000/bc_8.html?bc-partner says to set up an email account you need to go to Site Users (which doesn't exist) to tick "enable email" - so I tried Admin users but it has no email only option..

Hi Dandy,
You can still switch to V2 view to find things. Something I am still doing when I do these irregular jobs, as they only happen when a site goes live and that will only be once a month for us. Twice some months.
Although I just tried going to V2 and getting up the V3 view, but it didn't send me to the page I wanted.
I notice that there is a new tab in V3 called Email accounts, where you can set up email accounts now. Try there.
You will need to have the user set up first under Admin Users and User Roles first I expect.
Also check workflows are set up properly once you have gone into Email Accounts and set up the email address.
Or maybe just go back to V2 and do it all there. Click in top rh corner to get back to it.
