How does one overwrite existing text?

One can do plenty of clever formatting in drafting Thunderbird correspondence. But I am unable to find how one overwrites existing text. Can someone help, please?

please I am having trouble understanding. But here goes what I think your asking.
When you reply in an interleaved fashion as you did with my email, you need to break the previous message by pressing enter to get your own text area to type in. I saw a discussion on one of the develop0er list the other day where they were suggesting that some of the font information is bleeding back and forth in these situation and brainstorming what to actually do about it. That is just a discussion as yet. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tb-planning/ZYusepcRj-k
One of the best option in my opinion is to use the quote and compose managerhttps://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/quoteandcomposemanager-en.html as it preserves the vertical lines Thunderbird shows while editing in the outgoing message to make it clear where the interleaved information is located. It also has a stabilize font option that has helped many. (The author is Italian, so Italian locales of his add-ons are always available)

How does one increase Dreamweaver text of my reading material?

How does one increase the Dreamweaver text size for it's instructions etc.?

The font sizes in the Dreamweaver user interface are controlled by the system fonts on your computer. The only way to increase them is to increase the size of the system fonts. In Windows, you do that through the Control Panel. MAC may be different

How does one merge existing IPhoto 11 Libraries on an External HD?

I have an IPhoto 11 Library on my IMAC. I have multiple IPhoto Libraries on my external HD. I use Snow Leopard 10.6.8, IPhoto 11 (v. 9.2.3).
I am not sure how I got them, other than Apple at one point backed up all my files onto my external Seagate HD in order to completely wipe out and do the most extensive reinstall they could due to a malfunction of Time Machine located on a Lacie External HD.
In addition, I must have backed up my IPhoto Library onto my Seagate HD.
My question was how to merge two or more libraries located on my Seagate HD, backup my IPhoto Library onto the Seagate, and eliminating duplicates.
I think I have found my answer after 3 days of searching YouTube, Apple Discussions, Books, google.
It may be long and convoluted but I think I am doing nothing wrong. I wish comments as to improvement or flaws in my procedure.
From what I can glean, IPhoto does not permit merging of multiple libraries, that external programs such as IPhoto Library Manager and IPhoto Duplicate Annihilator are what most recommended. In addition, Aperture vs. Lightroom were discussed.
My solution using just the external HD's and IMAC for transferring photos in their original format (RAW, Jpeg, etc) from my IMAC to an individual IPhoto Library on my Seagate HD.
1. Locate proper IPhoto library, the one on my IMAC by holding the ALT/Option key then depressing and holding the IPhoto Application key located on the Dock until a window pops open, slide my mouse to the window to the line that says, "Open" and releasing only the mouse key while still depressing the ALT/Option key. This will open a window which will permit me to select from the different IPhoto Libraries. If some bear the same name, a look at the pathway on the bottom of the window will show which are on the Seagate HD.
2. Click on the library desired to be opened, in this case, the IMAC IPhoto Library. This will open IPhoto.
3. Select an image, from the Events, Open that image, Open the Info pain (lower right) noting name of file and file size, example CRW_0555 6.5mb a Cannon Raw file. Click on "Edit" which will permit editing.
Hover over image of photo and Right Click with Mouse, window will open, slide cursor down to "Duplicate" the photo and Left click. A duplicate RAW file will be made.
4. Click on Info to close out the Edit mode, Click on the Date Arrow (Upper left of IPhoto window) to get back to the name of the event.
5. Highlight the selected photo or photos, File > Export, select "Original", not the Jpeg that automatically appears.
6. Click Export. New window will appear, in my case telling me it will go to Pictures. Move cursor to window and select via arrow, Desktop to export to. The duplicate RAW file will now appear on your Desktop.
7. Close IMac IPhoto Library.
8. Follow steps 1 & 2 above to Open the desired Library on the Seagate External HD.
9. Drag the RAW desktop Image into IPhoto Library, either into Events or Last Import.
10. Close IPhoto Library.
11. Reopen IPhoto Library by clicking on the IPhoto App located on the Dock. The last library opened, will now be the default, which was the Seagate External IPhoto Library, will open. Click on the RAW image you imported from the Desktop, verify through Info that the Image name and file size and type are exactly the same, in my case, CRW_0555 6.5mb.
12. Drag Image on the DeskTop into the Trash. (Empty at will).
13. You have now taken a duplicated Image or group of selected duplicated images which you created, which you have highlighted in IPhoto on your IMac, dragged them to your Desktop, switched libraries to a selected library on your External HD. and transferred an exact copy into that external IPhoto Library.
Utilizing this basic technique, you can now do any of the following.
Backup your entire IMac Library onto an External HD into a library of the same name.
Take one or more selected images, highlighting each image in an particular Event on your IMAC HD.
Transferring an exact copy of those Images into any particular IPhoto Library on your External HD.
Transfer one image in an external HD IPhoto Library-1 into another external HD IPhoto Library-2 on the same HD (by simply opening up HD IPhoto Library-1, selecting photo, duplicating photo, Exporting Photo to Desktop, Closing IPhoto, Switching Libraries to IPhoto Library-2, opening that Library, dragging Desktop photo into IPhoto Library-2.
You can identify all IPhoto Libraries on all drives and rename them as follows.
1. Open Finder and locate IPhoto Library on the MAC HD under "Pictures", looking for the IPhoto Library Icon in the My Picture Folder (at least in my case). It is simple to find, as it is brightly orange colored and as a description it states, "IPhoto Library" not to be confused with the similar Icon which has a camera in front of it, identifying it as an Application.
2. Double click on the IPhoto Library name and rename it. I named mine "IPhoto Library IMAC-1"
3. In Finder click onto Macintosh HD. In the Search field, type in "IPhoto Library". All of your IPhoto Libraries will show up that are on your IMac and on any currently connected HD's.
4. I renamed them, example, IPhoto Library Seagate 3TB 1, IPhoto Library Seagate 3TB 2, IPhoto Library Seagate 3TB 3, IPhoto Library Lacie, IPhoto IMAC-1.
Items like Library6.IPhoto of only 4Kb (when one opens "Get Info" in the finder, is listed as an "IPhoto Library" "Kind" of file type.
When opened, it appears to contain full size images in a full size library, so perhaps this represents the icon pointing to the "Last import".
Can anyone tell me what that represents? I will not rename nor delete that.
By keeping the names of the IPhoto Libraries, consistent, descriptive of type of drive and the name of the Library you have assigned to it, then simply opening Finder and searching for "IPhoto Library" and looking for the colored icons, one can see, at a glance where each is located (by looking at the bottom of the Finder window for the path which will tell what drive it is located and the pathway to reach it). One will see each of their names.
This saves me from purchasing 3rd party programs to locate duplicates, to merge and establish and rename libraries. This probably will work well if I do no more than a batch of 50 pictures at a time.
It would appear that I will only do this massive procedure one time, making one library on my External HD, eliminating all of the duplicates as long as I let them have the same first part of the name, i.e., CRW_0580, and simply making a search. They should all pop up in my search. I can add on additional suffix names such as CRW_0580edit1, or pano, etc.
Does anyone see anything flawed in my above procedure?
Is there an economical easier way?
I am not sure I want to purchase Aperture, which apparently is overdue for an upgrade. I may want to wait. I may decide on Lightroom, my Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 provides for far better editing capability than IPhoto, at least in terms of exposure corrections.
Pros as I see it to my method -
Inexpensive $$$, no extra cost for extra programs
Full manual control as to what gets transferred, picture by picture
Cons
Seems quite timeconsuming for a first runthrough of the 3,000 photos, both individual and edited.
May have unforeseen consequences that I am not aware of.
Advice is appreciated. Though I have had this machine for several years, I am still trying to learn and have limited understanding. I find written instructions hard to understand and follow, escpecially not understanding the differences between different what I believe to be synonymous terms. I find YouTube videos informative but now answering all of my questions.

The duplication is unnecessary. Exporting creates a duplicate of the file. So now you'll have a duplicate of a duplicate. Exporting is not "working on" a file.
No it's not merging, it's exporting from one to the Finder and into another. No matter what lose something. If you export the Original you leave behind all the work you've done in iPhoto. If you export anything else, you lose the non-destructive editing and the ability to revert to the original. With merging you preserve that work. Yes, you can trash the old Library when you have completed the manoevre but no it's not the same thing as merging.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue. But in brief:
Current gets you the iPhoto Preview, used for sharing via media browsers. It's a jpg, medium quality missing metadata. Original gets the file you imported, unchanged and then you can export different version of the current version at different qualities. If you choose to export anything except the Original you do not get a Raw. There's no such thing as an "edited Raw", and you lose the connection between the original and the exported version. That means you've taken a non-destructive workflow and turned it into a destructive one.
The Tiff will certainly be higher qulaity and less likely to suffer generational loss in future editing but the file sizes are vast, often more than 10 times the size of the jpeg.
Put it this way, it would be cheaper to buy Library Manager than the disk you'll need to contain all the Tiffs. Unless you plan on a lot of editing, I'd go for a high quality jpeg as a reasonable compromise.
To be clear:
So, I guess my new question is, how can I edit the Raw image and keep it in a RAW format that IPhoto recognizes so that I can reprocess without any loss at a future time, or is it that once you edit a RAW image, then it is no longer a RAW image?
Once you edit a Raw it can no longer be a Raw. End of.

How does one convert a text path back into a line path in Illustrator CS 5?

The previous answer to the same question in Nov 2009 does not work for me. That was to copy and paste in front. I've tried every permutation of copy and paste; I renamed the path to path. It looks like a path when I add stroke, but it does not behave like one. I can't cut it or join it to any other path. It remembers it's text path status.
I'm running OS X 10.7.5.
Thank you.

The plus sign in this case means that another selection tool is being used called Group Selection Tool. You can pick it from the Tools panel if you click and hold the mouse on the Direct Selection Tool (white pointer) and then you don't have to hold Option when clicking with it. If you hold Option while using this tool will switch to the Direct Selection Tool (white pointer without the plus sign)
Once there is text on the path. The option-click seems a reliable solution.
Shouldn't make a difference with or without text on the path.

Scott, there is no way I can select the path without its text aspect via the Layers Panel in CS5

How does one "micro nudge" text boxes?

I am creating an extensive form fill-able PDF (a few hundred fields) and am using the "create multiple copies" button. The problem is when I create multiple copies it is impossible to get the fill fields to line up with the actual fields on the sheet (even with changing the height). I have to nudge them into place but there is normal nudge (arrow keys) and big nudge (shift and arrow keys), but I need a micro nudge. If micro nudge is possible in Acrobat pro what is the keyboard combo? I have tried click and drag with the mouse but 50% of the time I mis-align the fields with the other fields in the columns. Then I have to go through and re-align every field, which is really time consuming. A micro nudge would be the best way to go right now. Thank you ahead of time.
Bruce

Explore the other positioning possibilities that are available when you select multiple fields and right-click. Things like Distribute Vertically/Horizontally can save a lot of time.
Also, if you display the rulers (Ctrl+R), you can drag guides from them. When you drag a field or field border close to one, the field border will snap to the guide. The exact behavior depends where the cursor is in relation to the field borders when dragging fields.
If you're using Acrobat 11, there are a lot of new keyboard shortcuts that are most not documented as they should be, but you can see a list in this previous post: Re: Acrobat XI switch between form design & form view

In the new keynote, the help section refers to the Wrap Inspector. How does one find that or how does one wrap text around a photo?? Thanks

You can also use the shape tool to draw a shape roughly following the outline of the graphic you want to wrap text around, change the fill and stroke to "none", then paste your text within the shape. It's a few more steps, but it opens you up to many creative alternative layouts.

This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

How does one add tables to an existing universe using COM designer SDK.

Morning All
How does one add tables to an existing universe using COM designer SDK. I have tried:
objUniverse.Tables.Add (strTable_Name)
but get "Cannot create Table" error.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Anita

Hi Anita,
-Use the Add method to add classes and objects to an existing universe using a VB 6 application.
Adding a Class
Definition: Function Add(Name As String) As Class
Syntax: NameOfClassesVariable.Add
Adding an Object Instance
Definition: Function Add(Name As String, [ClassName As String]) As Object
Syntax: NameOfObjectsVariable.Add(name, [class])
- name is the name of the object.
- class is the name of the class containing the object. This parameter should be used in cases where more than one objects exist with the same name.
Sample Visual Basic 6 Code
Dim DesApp As Designer.Application
'MODIFY AND EXPORT CLASSES AND OBJECTS OF AN EXISTING UNIVERSE
Sub modify_and_export_universe()
Dim DesUnv As Designer.Universe
Dim DesCls As Designer.Class
Dim DesObj As Designer.Object
Dim DesDBCol As Designer.DBColumn
Dim DBColName As String
Set DesApp = New Designer.Application
'Login to designer
Call DesApp.LogonDialog
'Make sure to log on with your administrator profile
'e.g : "hostname","username", "password","Enterprise"
'Make Designer application visible
DesApp.Visible = True
'This line disable warning messages from Designer
DesApp.Interactive = False
'to Open locally the universe you want to modify
'Set DesUnv = DesApp.Universes.Open("club_uni")
'Use OpenFromEnterprise method (Universes Class) to import a universe from the repository and opens it
Set DesUnv = DesApp.Universes.OpenFromEnterprise("Universes", "club_uni", False)
'Add a valid connection which already exists
DesUnv.Connection = "club"
'open the universe
'Call DesApp.Universes.Open("club_universe")
'Add the table Account and refresh the view in the main window
Set DesTab = DesUnv.DBTables.Item("Customer").Insert
DesUnv.ArrangeTables
'Add a class
Set DesCls = DesUnv.Classes.Add("Class MyCustomer")
'Looping through all the fields of the DB Table Account
For Each DesDBCol In DesUnv.DBTables.Item("Customer").DBColumns
'Store name of the column
    DBColName = DesDBCol.Name
     'Add an object to the class
    Set DesObj = DesCls.Objects.Add("Obj " & DBColName)
     'Affect a field to the object
    DesObj.Select = "Customer" & "." & DBColName
Next
'Save the existing universe with the same name club_uni or you can change
DesUnv.SaveAs "club_uni"
MsgBox "Universe created and saved Class MyCustomer has been added!!"
'Close the universe
UnvFullName = DesUnv.FullName
MsgBox "The UniverseFilePath is " & UnvFullName
'Close the universe
DesUnv.Close
'This line disable warning messages from Designer
DesApp.Interactive = False

How does one create LOV Map between 2 fields for custom lookup mapping

Hi there
In Internet Expenses, Expense Report Line Detail we have two unrelated fields; namely Expense Location & Tax Code.
The requirement is to map a default tax code to locations; basically when a user enters Expense Location then the mapped tax code value should default into field Tax Code.
The location-tax code mapping is stored in a custom lookup (FND_LOOKUP_VALUES).
My question is how does one go about implementing this? For example is it possbile to create a new (hidden) LOV based on the lookup mapping & then create a Personalization LOV Mapping between the 3 LOV... Or is it necessary to modify the Tax Code drop down Message Choice in JDeveloper? Of course details are appreciated!
FYI below is the relevant Personalization Structure from "Personalize Stack Layout: (NormalDetails)".
Message Lov Input: Expense Location
- Lov Mappings
-- Lov Map: (lovMap1)
-- Lov Map: (lovMap2)
-- Lov Map: (lovMap3)
- Message Text Input: Expense Location
- Message Styled Text: Transaction Location
- Message Text Input: Merchant Name Yes
- Message Styled Text: Description
- Message Check Box: Original Receipt Missing Yes
- Message Choice: Tax Code
- Message Check Box: Amount Includes Tax
- Message Choice: Tax Code
Many thanks
G

Hello all
The correct & supported method is this:
Extend the location LOV in JDeveloper & add a "default tax" attribute, this could be derived from a new location DFF storing the default tax code for each location. Now simply create a location Personalization LOV Map which takes this new location lov tax attribute & target it to the tax message choice field.
That's my 2c worth anyway, so please give comment if you feel there is a better way.
There is just one more little problem however... The requirement has changed! Now we require the tax code to default according to not one location field, but other fields too. For example if the user selects Expense Type of Beverage & Location of Netherlands then Tax Code should be NL19%, for Expense Type of Hotel then it should be NL6%; if the user ticks "Missing Receipt" field then it should over ride all others & set the code to NL0%.
Any ideas?
Many thanks

How does one increase the y-axis (amplitude) of the audio tracks?

How does one increase the y-axis (amplitude) of the audio tracks? My patient appears to have flatlined. I don't want to increase the gain, just the way the waveform looks on my monitor.

DrDtMM
The "Expert view" is a part of the new interface of Premiere Elements 11. In your version 10, you have the Timeline and the Sceneline view choices.
For now, I will assume that you are in the Timeline view where you utilize video and audio tracks and not a Filmstrip with scene slots.
I suspect that you may be after the following. Let us see.
To the right of where it shows the name "Audio 1" is a microphone icon. That represents the "Audio Display Style". There are two Audio Display Styles and you can select one or the other by toggling that microphone icon.
a. In one instance, you will see the wave form plus a horizontal orange line which is typically the Volume Rubberband for Volume adjust. This Display Style has a light green background.
and
b. In the other case, you will see a dark horizontal line, no wave form. That dark line is on a light green background.
I suspect you are at "b". Are you aware that "a" exists.
If you want a really blown up version of "a" to look at, you could separate the audio from the video, double click the audio to open the Preview Windows, and then scale up the Preview Window.
We will be watching for your follow up to see if we are getting in sync.
Thanks.

How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages w/ Messaging 3.X?

How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages with Messaging 3.X?

In an ISP environment there are times that a user changes his
login name (his unique identifier in the ISP's network, also used as
his email address) from one value to another. It is very convenient
for the ISP to be able to move messages from the user's old mailbox
to the user's new mailbox when this situation occurs.

With Messaging Server 2.0, this was easily accomplished by simply
moving the mail messages on disk. However, with the added complexity
of Messaging 3.0 where there are back links, reference counts, etc.,
associated with mail messages, moving files on disk from one mailbox
to another is no longer valid.

The MoveUser utility, which is new in MS 3.X, moves messages from
one messaging server to another or from one maildrop path to another.
Can this utility be used to move messages from one mailbox to another?

The answer is yes, it can. The user should be aware that if
duplicate email message id's exist in the mailbox before the
move, the messages related to the duplicate message id's will
be duplicated in the target mailbox.

See the online documentation contained with the product or the
Messaging 3.X Administrator's Guide for exact syntax.

Hi
If I understand you correctly and if you are using Apple Mail version 2.0 or above navigate to /Users/Home folder. The Home folder is the one with the house icon, within that folder you will see a Library folder, within that folder you’ll see a Mail folder, within that folder you’ll see a folder that begins with POP followed by your name, within that folder will be a folder called INBOX.mbox, within that folder is a Messages folder. All the mail that you see within the application are there. They will be numbered and have a file suffix of .emlx. You can move these wherever you like.
If you are using Entourage X, or Entourage 2004 you can easily multiple select mail messages, addresses etc from within the application and drag whatever you’ve selected to wherever you like.
