How do I make multiple plain text links active (clickable) at once?

I'm running Number 3.5.2 and I deal with a lot of documents that have long lists of URLs. Anytime I open a xls or numbers doc that already has the URLs pasted in, they're listed in plain text and not clickable. Is there a way that I can select all of them and make them active links, or at least do it in some reasonably scalable fashion?
I've found how to use the "Add link" or even the "Open URL" options using the right click menu. And I know about changing the character style to "Link" to make it active. But these options are only available if I click and highlight the specific content in a single cell. It doesn't allow me to select multiple cells and make the change.
I've also tried copying the URLs out of Numbers and into another program (text edit, email) but not too long ago it stopped letting me paste back in active links.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi jroos,
The HYPERLINK function in another column.
From the Function Browser:
The HYPERLINK function creates a clickable link that opens a webpage or new email message.
HYPERLINK(url, link-text)
url: A standard universal resource locator. url is a string value that must contain a properly formatted universal resource locator string.
link-text: An optional string value that specifies the text that appears as a clickable link in the cell. If link-text is omitted, url is used as link-text.
Formula in C2 (and Fill Down)
=HYPERLINK(B2)
Then select Column C
Copy
Menu > Edit > Paste Formula Results
Delete Column B
Regards,
Ian.

How do I make multiple text bold, for example scene headings or character names?

How do I make multiple text bold, for example scene headings or character names?

You can do that by editing the template of the document.
Open the document, go to Edit->Template. A dialog will launch which will have element types on the left and it's properties on the right.
Select Scene Heading(or Character name) on the left. On the right, go to 'Text' tab and click on Bold checkbox.
Press OK.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Plain Text Link

Well the project i was given had me writting an applet to check the users java version, and make sure it was at least 1.4.whatever. If it isnt it displays the message your java is not compatable with bla bla bla and provides a link at the bottom to the java website. This was all well and good, tossed in the button for the link and showed off the project. Only one problem, he doesnt like buttons, and wants it to appear as a plain text link. How do I do that? spent 3 days now digging and losing sleep over this so now I need to ask for your help. Thanks for the help

i believe there are a few text components (I think JTextPane is one of them) that allow HTML code. You could just do an HTML link... I haven't actually tried this, but it might be worth looking at.

How do I make multiple movies look like one?

I created a demo of 136 slides with mostly screencaps and one
small flash animation. The final published flash file is
approximately 30MB. When the demo is run on multiple computers, the
CPU utilization rises up to almost 100%, this makes the demo run
very slowly on most computers. I was advised to cut my captivate
movie in half ( in slides)... however even then the CPU utilization
is quite high. How can I break my demo into multiple linked movies
(to bring down the file size) but still have it play smoothly
without it stopping to load after each new movie? How do I make
multiple movies look like one?
Thank you.

Would it work to make the navigation of the page go to the
next movie?

How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?

I am new to FCP X and I'm creating a picture slideshow. How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?
For example, I would like to have 10 pictures all play in 5 seconds, and starting off with the 1st one being little light; 2nd lighter; 3rd lightter; etc., to 10th being completly white screen...
Can anyone help ?

Here is what I would do. Add a 5 second white generator solid to your storyline. Add your 10 half second clips as attached clips. Select them all, right click and make a compound clip. Then keyframe the compound clips opacity from 100% t0 0% with one keyframe at the beginning and one at the end. That will give you a linear reduction in opacity over the 5 seconds(10 pics). You can play with the keyframes to get the effect you want if linear isn't doing it.

How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once?

How can I delete multiple emails on my Samsung Stratosphere at once? I use AOL and when I delete the emails off of my computer, they do not delete from my phone. So I have hundreds of unwanted messages showing on my phone but I have not found an option to delete all messages, only individually. I would also like to be able to clear the messages from my phone without them deleting from my computer. This was super easy with my blackberry and I have not found anything similar on this phone.

When I go to the trash folder on my Stratosphere, I can check individual emails and then hit "Menu" and "Delete", but if I hit the "Menu" button before selecting any e-mails, then I see the "Delete all" button, but it's greyed out, so I cannot select it. There's also a "Restore All" button next to the "Delete all" button, and it's also greyed out. So, currently the only way I can delete the 100's of e-mails in my trash is to put a check mark next to each one, which is painful. Anybody else have this problem or know of a solution?

How can I make an icon that links to a webpage that works with Mac and Windows??

Hi!
I burn CDs with my photos and send them to clients. Besides the photos folder, I would like to include a file (similar to the .webloc files on the Mac Desktop) that can be clicked and it will be linked to my website - it will open up a browser window and go to my website . Is it posssible to make one of these icons that works with both Macs and Windows machines? Thanks!

Now it works! Thanks, Denico!
The reason I saved to text: The first time I followed your instructions, it did not work. I tried to figure out what I did wrong and saw that you wrote to "save as plain text." I did not know what this means and there was no option available to save a plain text. So I looked around and saw "save as stationery" and I guessed that maybe that was what you meant. And after that, it worked! But the next thing you know, the icons started duplicating themselves.
I guess I had made a different mistake in the beginning and I fixed it without knowing what it is.
Thanks for clearing that up.
But just one question. WHY does saving as "stationery" make an icon duplicate itself?

How to load data in plain-text file into database by using EJB?

Hi,
We need to develop an on-line application which requires us to load input data
from a selected plain-text file on the Web server (iplanet server) into the backend
oracle database. How could I use EJB to make it happen? it seems like using Entity
EJB is not feasible.
Really appreciate your help!

How to send a plain text and HTML email at once?

Hi all,
I'm attempting to use cfmailpart to send a HTML and plain text email all in the same cfmail script. I'm using Outlook and Gmail to test. I temporarily changed my Outlook settings to "read all standard mail in plain text," but it does not read the plain text cfmailpart of the email, it just attempts to format the text from the HTML email and display the links. If I remove the HTML cfmailpart from my cfmail script, the plain text version is delivered, but Outlook removes extra line breaks that I actually want to keep intact, and some of the other formatting is improperly rendered. Is there a better way to make sure email clients hold the plain text formatting (even though there really isn't any formatting with plain text) and a better way to test? The HTML version looks great in both Gmail and Outlook.
Thanks!

Use the wraptext attribute of the cfmailpart tag to add line breaks.

How to fix width of plain text content control in Microsoft Word 2010?

I try to make the simplest solution for my custom to modify current Word template without hard code anything except field name.
As you can see above image, normally text field in Word is not fixed width control. So, it may affect document layout. Moreover, I want to add dotted line below all text fields in document template.
Is there any possible solution that end-user can do in normal Microsoft Word 2010 application?
PS. I will fill all controls with data from Microsoft Access.

In PDF file, I can easily create fix-size absolute position field inside document template like the following document. In Microsoft Word, I cannot fix even the size of plain text field.
PS. Nobody use table with fixed cell size as normal form (hard copy). I think Microsoft Word is really bad choice for creating any document template by end-user.
Criticizing Word for not doing the same as some other application is hardly relevant. Have you tried word-processing with Adobe Acrobat?
As for your PS, Word tables are ideal for the kind of thing you describe. Your assertion that 'nobody' does so is plain ignorance - it is a common practice. In my previous employment,
many forms were created using Word tables. Before complaining Word is a 'really bad choice', you should learn how to use it.
