  • How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time?

    How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time? Right now, when I'm trying to highlight documents to export, I have to click on each document individually. Is there a way to highlight one document while scrolling down the list until all desired documents are highlighted? I would like to rapidly be able to do this to save time when I am exporting or saving multiple files from my documents to an external drive, CD-Rom or cloud storage.

    Click on the first item
    Hold the Shift key
    Click on the Last Item.
    All the items in between will be selected.

  • How do you highlight text in document in Pages

    How do you highlight text in document in Pages

    but Pages is NOT a 3rd party app.  it's an application that's programmed by apple.  it's supposed to act something like Word in MS office, but that is not at all true. 
    choices for editing text, highlighting, et al., like what you find in MS Office Word, should be immediately available whenever you are inside of a Pages document, but that is not the case. 
    don't you wish that when you buy an apple app for apple/macs that is supposed to be like a windows something or another that it really is? 

  • How do you highlight a sentence that spans two pages without having to make two notes?

    If a sentence starts on one page and continues to the next, how do you highlight the entire sentence without having to start a second note for the second page? I know it's possible because one of my notes is highlighed that way.  This seems like it should be a simple thing to do. But I can't figure it out and I can't seem to find any solutions either.

    Not sure if it'd make any sense, given the device and software,
    but what happens if you could resize the page so that sentence
    is in one page, then resize the page back to original size; which
    should make both halves of a sentence still retain that aspect?
    Just an idea...
    Dangerous enough?

  • How do you highlight iHelp Buttons and List Applet fields

    How do you highlight iHelp Buttons and List Applet fields? I've followed all the steps in the Bookshelf but it seems like buttons and list applet fields do not highlight. The highlight feature only seems to work in form applets. Is this a known issue? Are there workarounds for this?
    Thanks

    I remember that colors of single list applet fields cannot be changed, since the whole list is regarded as one "control" itself. It works for single fields in form applets (as you said) but not in list applets. There is a document in MyOracleSupport pointing this out, but at the moment I can't find it.
    Regarding iHelp Buttons I have no idea.

  • How do you highlight several cells with the mouse in numbers

    how do you highlight several cells with the mouse in numbers

    Hi David,
    Using only the mouse, you can select a contiguous range of cells using the method described by dwb.
    For larger (but still contiguous) ranges you might prefer this method:
    Click the first (top left) cell of the desired selection.
    Scroll to the last (botom right) cell of the desired selection.
    Shift-click the bottom right cell to select it, and all of the cells in the rectangular array defined by this and the top left cell selected in step 1.
    To select two or more non-contiguous cells:
    Click on the first to select it.
    Command-click on another to add it to the selection.
    Repeat as necessary.
    Regards,
    Barry

    Need help ASAP

    I'm not sure if you can do that with CreatePDF.  Try it; you got one free use when you sign up with Acrobat.com
    If not, you will have to use Adobe Acrobat; there is a full-use 30 days trial.

    How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

    You can't, the camera kit connection kit which has a USB connection only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, and doesn't support the copying of any content off the iPad - you will either need to go via your computer.

  • How do I open pdfs in iBook and not Adobe reader? (OS X Mavericks)

    On iOS devices, I can save and read pdfs in iBooks. How do I do it in the new application for OS X Mavericks?

    Hello there, FootballTechGeek.
    The following Knowledge Base article shows how this can be done:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Choose an app to open a document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11329
    Particularly:
    Permanently change the document’s app
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
    If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
