How to adjust tabs in entire document at once

I have a 400 page, 6x9 book spread that was pulled in from a word processor document set for a standard page, and after laying everything out, I discovered that the tabs are set incorrectly. Any suggestions on how to correct the tabs all at once rather than line by line?

Answering your question literally, select all text, then call up the Tab ruler and set the tabs.
If the text has been formatted using paragraph styles, it would be neater and less error-prone to change the tab setting in the paragraph style or styles for plain text only.
Are you sure you are talking about tabs? In plain text, there shouldn't be too much of these. Perhaps you are referring to first-line indents. If these are done with First Line Indent -- the function in paragraph styles, Indents & Spacing, you should change these (obviously). Also either by selecting all text, but preferrably by changing the plain text style(s).

There is no such thing. You will have to adjust the artboard and then manually rotate the content to fit.

Hi - I have a file where I store my downloaded music. When I plug in my ipod and click on "add music" my file appears. Rather than drag one song at a time, how can I download the entire list at once? - steve

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

How do you rename an entire column at once?

If I have a playlist, how would I fill in an entire column (or highlighted column) with the same information so I could rename everything at once?
As is now, I have to go through and rename each column one at a time.

Once you have it highlighted, choose get info. Itunes will prompt you with
"Are you sure you want to edit information for multiple items?"
Answer Yes.
Note: You can only change Artist name, Year, Album Name and Genre.

Desperate - How can I delete an entire index at once?

I have accidentally entered the index references for a quarterly into the 'topics' panel when they should have been inthe 'reference' panel. (Darned radio buttons....)
There are dozens of entries and deleting them individually from the index will take ages. Surely there must be some way to remove all of the markings/topic entries without having to select each one individually and go through that process?
I have tried to find help items on how to do it, but have had no luck. This think has to be ready for proofing tomorrow and I'm getting exhausted trying to figure out what to do.
There must be a way! Please, can anyone help?!
Thanks so much if you can; you are a lifesaver.

If they are just topics without references just choose "Remove Unused Topics" from the index panel flyout menu.
If you want to get rid of all references, too, then this script should do it. It goes up to two levels deep, if you need more, let me know.
myDoc = app.activeDocument
alert(myDoc.indexes[0].topics[0].topics[0].pageReferences.length)
for(var j= 0;myDoc.indexes[0].topics.length>j;j++){
myDoc.indexes[0].topics[j].pageReferences.everyItem().remove()
for(var h= 0;myDoc.indexes[0].topics[j].topics.length>h;h++){
myDoc.indexes[0].topics[j].topics[h].pageReferences.everyItem().remove()

When clicking File on top of this page a dropdown box shows Open File and when doing so many old downloads are there. How can I delete the entire batch at once.

When I click on Filed(in upper left hand corner of screen) a drop down box appears which includes several choices including Open File. When I click on Open File it shows many old downloads which I don't want or need to save. I can delete them individually but there are many many of them. Can someone give me guidance on how to deleter them all at one time. Thanks my friends.

hello cardavfl, i think in the open file dialog in the windows file picker you only can select one item at a time.
it would be better to look at the top of the file dialog ("look in:") where this folder is located on your harddrive & then use windows explorer & go to this path - then you can press ctrl+a to select all items at once (or use the mouse to select them all) and to delete them ...

It is not a bug, but a new feature.<br />
Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626825 bug 626825] - Hide redundant menu commands unless the user invokes the menu using the keyboard (make use of the openedWithKey attribute)

How do you select a sub-set of cells from the entire document so you can print only those specific cells?

There is no analog to MS Excels print range. So the next best thing is to plan your data so that you don't need to use print range. The next best thing after that is to select the range of cells you want to print, then copy, the switch to the application Preview, and create a new document from the clipboard (select the menu item "File > New from Clibboard") then select all, copy then paste to the destination (maybe an email) .
You can also paste that portion of the table into another table (or a new table) by pasting values only

How to autofill blank cells in an entire document?

Is there a way of filling blank cells in the entire document, not just surrounding cells as the fill-function works? In other programms you search " " and fill (replace) it with "0" for example. Doesn't work with the Find/Replace function in Numbers.

A cell containing " " (a space) is not a blank cell.
When cells contain this string, the Search / Replace tool behaves flawlessly and replace the spaces by the wanted string.
To fill the blank cells, I know only one soluce : AppleScript.
Here is a script doing the trick.
--[SCRIPT fillblank_cells_withclipboard]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : fillblank_cells_withclipboard.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner la cellule en haut à gauche de la zône à remplir.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir fillblank_cells_withclipboard.
Le script remplit les cellules vides de la zône définie avec la valeur extraite du presse-papiers.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script: fillblank_cells_withclipboard.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select a cell which is at top left of the range to fill?
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose fillblank_cells_withclipboard
The script will fill every blank cell of the defined range with the value extracted from the clipoard.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

How do you get rid of default tabs on a document in pages 09?I h

Hi.
I am wanting just one tab on my document, but there are many popping up that I believe are default tabs. I am trying to delete them in inspector but it is not letting me. Any tips???
Thanks!

Select the text you want to apply your tab to and set the tab on the ruler by clicking on it.
In the absence of any specified tabs the tabs will jump to set intervals on the ruler.
