How do you multi select words/sentences etc... In Mavericks?

In Mountian Lion, to select more than one item, e.g. a word, or sentence plus another word or sentence, you would hold down Comand (cmd), but in Mavericks this doesnt seem to be working. I can't find it in setings, originaly I thought the problem was with the new Pages 5.0, but then I reaslised it was system wide.

Non-contiguous text selection is broken in Pages I know but it works in Work and TextEdit for me. It doesn't work here or in Mail. Seems to be a mixxed bag. The programs I most use non-contiguous selection all seem to work so I don't know what to say :-(

  • How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks

    How do you get a word and character count of a document in Pages for Mavericks?

    Hi jonathan,
    I struggled with this one as well, as i'm finishing up a PhD thesis and word counts are incredibly important. Through trial and error i found out that words like 'e.g.' and 'i.e.' count as two words and an ampersand (&) doesn't count at all. That being said, i didn't like the fact that the word count always included footnotes and i was dismayed that i couldn't get an accurate count of words in the main body of my text. That all disappeared yesterday when, by chance, while i was copying a completed chapter and pasting it into my main document, i discovered that Pages can indeed give you an accurate word count excluding the footnotes!  Here's all you need to do:
    1. In pages 5.2, make sure that the Word Count function is first enabled by selecting View --> Show Word Count from the Pages Menu Bar. (If it's already enabled, it will read View --> Hide Word Count, so if that's what it says, then no need to do anything.)
    2. Once enabled, check the Word count that's currently showing at the bottom of the page. That's the word count including your footnotes.
    2. Now, place your cursor anywhere within the current document, then hit command+A (for Select All).
    3. Viola! Your word count now shows the actual number of words within the body of the text only, excluding footnotes!
    Hope that helps!

  • How do you find the word count on MacBook, please?

    How do you find the word count on MacBook, please?

    If you are trying to find word count in a Microsoft Word 2011 documemt, for instance, open the document and go to the Tools menu, selecting Word Count. In Apple's Pages application, open the document and look at the bottom of the page, near the left it will say "X Words" where X is the number.
    Best of luck.

  • Itunes match  how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

    In ITunes match  how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

    First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1.  I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match.  After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
    Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.

  • How do you save a Word document when it says you have no memory?

    How do you save a Word document when it says you have no memory?

    Connect another disk drive to which you can save the document. Then clear space on your hard drive.
    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • How do you unzip a Word File on an older MAC mini?

    How do you unzip a Word File on an older MAC mini?

    On older Macs .docx files can look like a zip file. This is because they contain a proprietary form of XML compressed using ZIP.
    If you have an older version of Office for Mac, i.e. Office 2004 which predates .docx format files, then you can install a free addon to allow it to import and export .docx files.

    How do you get Microsoft Word on my Mac?

    Purchase the software from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products
    Depending on which version of OS X you have, you may be able to purchase Pages in the App Store for $20 instead. Pages is Apple's equivalent to Word.

    How do you magnify  small writing with os x maverick? I have a imac.  Perviously i would push control and the mouse .

    Control scroll should still work in Mavericks, it does for me.
    In addition, Safari can also be Zoomed in to varying degrees by using either View Zoom In or the Command +- keys.

    After downloading OSX Maverick you then cant use work. excel or powerpoint. What do i use and how can i recall my word documents etc

    Use Office for Mac 2011.  If you have it, open one of the programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and do Help > Check for Updates from the menu.
    Otherwise, purchase Office 365 and use that.

  • How to use multi select in a query report

    I defined a lov. This lov retuns name and a id. I want to use the result of this multi select in my query.
    I always get invalid number when I choose two items of the select. When I debug I see that the return value of the multi select is 1:2. How can I change the seperator : in , I tried the following but this does't work.
    if :P26_PRODUCTTYPE IS NOT NULL then
    l_sql := l_sql ||' and producttype in
    (REPLACE(:p26_producttype,'':'','','' ))';
    end if;

    as you're finding, multiple values selected from html db multi-select list items (and checkboxes) are stored as a single, colon-delimited string. i explained an easy way to handle this via pl/sql in...
    Multiple select list
    ...that post shows you how to throw the selected values into a pl/sql table and step through them as needed. it also showed how to use an instr to parse through the string if you want to go that route. you could use that same instr logic right in your sql query. so let's say your lov for your multi-select item (P1_MY_MULTISELECT, we'll call it) was defined as...
    select ename, empno from emp order by 1
    ...and your user selected KING, FORD, and JONES. :P1_MY_MULTISELECT would store those values as...
    7839:7902:7566
    ...you could then write a query to return the selected enames with something like...
    select ename, job
    from emp
    where insrt (':'||:P1_MY_MULTISELECT||':',':'||empno||':') != 0
    ...hope this helps,
    raj
