How to automatically repeat text typed in one place

I am trying to create a template, that will print off a page of very basic labels..no artwork or fancy stuff...just a name and a date...all labels identical for my girlfriends jam and pickle making ...Just jam jar labels that will be printed on sticky labels and printed out.
I have no idea what terms to each search for in the help or pages User guides... what is this called that will automatically mirror what is typed in one place in other text boxes?  can it even be done?
I have the basic print setup fine to go betweent the print label borders, but I want to enter the text once, and have it automatically repeated in al the labels.
What is this called..what function am I looking ..I do not want to Copy and paste in to each text box, I just want to type in one text box and have it repeated in tall the others
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses.
Well yes, I was hoping for a magic 'Repeat Function, and sort of thougth I had used something like that before...but could nto remember what it was called.
I have been following the answers all day , but have been on and off aircraft all day and have nto been able to find time to try anything out or respond
I did try the mail merge option...but the pages documetn always had the Mail Merge option greyed out.
Eaarlier I just created the label i wanted and copied and pasted, but the Alt Option  way is much easier...that combimed with teh Find Replace is the way to go i think for this
I rarely use any Office apps of any description, so every time I do...maybe once every few months, it is always a chore to remeber how to do things.
Thanks agsin

  • How to automatically scroll text in JScrollPane

    Hi there
    I have a very simple question...
    How to automatically scroll text in JScrollPane?
    Text in the TextArea is constantly getting updated... but the scroll bars dont' move as the text changes. Instead I ahve to scroll and see the changes everytime. How can I make the viewport or the scrollpane to show the latest content?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dexter

    This question is asked daily (it seems) on the forum. Hopefully the TextAreaScroll class will explain whats going on:
    **  Short answer is to use the following after the append:
    **  textArea.setCaretPosition(textArea.getDocument().getLength()
    **  However, if you really want to know what is going on, then I have
    **  I have observed the following behaviour in JDK1.4.2
    **  JTextArea will scroll automatically when text is appended, if:
    **  a) the caret is at the end of the text area, and
    **  b) the append is done in the event thread
    **  Note: Initializing a text area at creation time by any of the following
    **  aproaches will cause the caret to be positioned at the start and therefore
    **  scrolling will not happen automatically:
    **  a) JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea("Initial text", ...);
    **  b) textArea.setText("Initial text");
    **  c) textArea.read(someFile, null);
    **  The append method can be forced to execute in the Event thread by using
    **  SwingUtilities.invokeLater();
    **  Alternatively you can force a scroll by repositioning the caret.

  • How do I change text attributes within one text box in Motion 3?

    I am trying to change text attributes within one text box in Motion 3, but am only able to change the font/size for the entire box. Is there a way to change the attributes to individual lines of text within a text box without creating an entirely new one or using the "Lower Third" text effect?
    How do I create (two different) multiple colors, fonts, bold, italic, underline in one text box within Final Cut Studio Motion (FCP, FCS)

    Thank you! You saved me hours of tinkering around with multiple text boxes. It seemed like it should be something pretty elementary. It didn't help that I am not familiar with proper terminology, so thank you for defining glyph.

  • TS1702 How do I to move apps from one place to a different place?

    I want to be able to move my app icons to different locations on my phone.How do I move them. At one time I could bring up my phone on the computer and move them around but this is a new computer and I can not do it.Can anyone please help?

    Press on an app until they all 'wiggle', tap and hold to move them, press the home key when done. Have you transferred all of your information from the prior computer to the new computer? You should be able to sync with the new computer if you transferred iTunes as instructed in the support information. Then you will be able to move the apps when you connect your phone to the computer.

  • How to automatically populate text boxes from dropdown and tick box options and then sum the results

    Firstly I need to say that I have no knowledge of how to use Javascript.
    I am using the 30 day trial of Adobe Acrobat XP Pro to see if it can be used for a Membership Application Form for the 1st year of membership. This 1st year  has a pro-rata membership fee per month left in the year of application along with a pro-rata postage fee for non-UK members. All of the input will be via basic text boxes with the exception of the application date and overseas postage for which I have created 3 dropdown boxes, one for Day, one for Month and one forYear and for the 2 tick boxes which are there for the applicant to say if they want 2 other options which have a cost attached to them.  I want to populate 2 text boxes from the Month lookup. One of these is for the pro-rata membership fee and the other for the pro-rata overseas postage. The other 2 optional items will be text boxes populated from the tick boxes. Having populated these 4 text boxes I then want to have them automatically summed to give the total to be sent by the applicant.
    I have searched many forums and tried many of the suggested ways of doing it and none of the 4 text boxes are populated.
    Are you able to help me with this?
    Many thanks

    The script solution provided is a "custom calculation JavaScript" not a "simplified field notation".
    The comment at the top of the code:
    // Custom calculate script for text field
    should help clarify the placement location for the code.
    Simplified field notation has a number of specific restrictions. One is that the provided data must be numeric data only.

  • How to automate repeated fades

    Editing a stack of brief `interviews', each lasting a minute or so, many are less.
    It was shot with no allowance for `fat' between each interviewee, many of them don't suffer from trimming enough for transistions but lots of them do.
    That is, the person starts speaking immediately when the cursor starts the clip.
    so I'm thinking to add a still of the person ahead of each clip hoping the transitions will be a little nicer.
    That still leaves fading the sound.  How can I automate that task?  The fades can all have the same duration, but I see nothing to help other than setting two audio keyframes and pulling one down....  Lots of minutes wasted there for 70 or so interviews.

    Stan Jones wrote:
    Save a preset effect from your first one.  For example, set keyframe at 0 and at 15 frames, pull the 0 frame down to silence.  In the effects controls, select the volume and create a new preset.  Call it "fade up 15 frames."  Set it to anchor on the clip beginning.  Now for every clip where you have such a need, just drag that effect over.
    Well that's slicker'n snake poop.
    Is there some way to access those presets from effects-controls, or is the only access at Effects/presets?
    And thanks many times over... that is nice.

  • How do I add text typed in a Java GUI to my database?

    Using NetBeans, I've created a GUI, which has a 5 text boxes and an add/sumbit button. I've also created a database, which is on my Runtime Panel in Netbeans, and has a table with 5 columns. Once my GUI is running, I want the Add button to insert the information from each of the text boxes to the 5 columns in a row of the database. I haven't added any Event-> Action to my Add button yet.
    I tried learning how to do this through the netbeans GUI JDBC tutorial, but it only showed a particular example, and didn't explain how this could be done in a differing situation. Can someone please tell me the code I'd need to access the database from the source code of my GUI?
    thanks

    Note that learning java and JDBC (and databases) at the same time is not a good idea.
    Basically you do this.
    1. Extract the values from the gui as strings
    2. Open a JDBC connection.
    3. Create a SQL insert statement.
    4. Create a java string using 3.
    5. Create a prepared statement using 4 (modifying the string appropriately)
    6. Call executeUpdate (or whatever the JDBC method is called.)
    7. Appropriately close the statement and connection.
    8. Handle error conditions with appropriate try/catches for all of the above.

  • How to delete repeated text in Numbers

    I have a long list of names, many of which are repeats. Is there a command that deletes any repeated phrases in Numbers?
    Thanks.

    Hi Koenig--
    OK, finally, I figured it out! Thank you!
    Here are the steps I took:
    1. Put my list of names in Column A.
    2. In Column B, on cell B2 (not B1--which is the mistake I was making prior), I pasted the code you suggested: =IF(A=A1,"duplicate","")
    3. Then, I filled the entire column B with the formula. I made the mistake several times of just selecting the entire column from the top. That's wrong. What you need to do is select B2, the scroll all the way down and while holding shift, select the bottom B cell--only then click go the insert>fill>fill down. This fills every repeat with the word "duplicate" next to it. In my case, everytime there was a repeat in column A, column B would have the word "repeat" next to it.
    4. Then I sorted column B by descending. This grouped all of the "repeats" at the bottom. I deleted all of those rows.
    This worked for me.
    What I don't understand is how or why you'd use the "paste values"? What's this about?
    Thanks Koenig. It took me lots of trial and error, but I got it.

  • How to create a text editor, the one like header text in PO

    Dear Ones,
    My requirement is that I want to create a text editor for storing terms and condition plant wise.
    The editor should be the one like header text in PO. It can take end number of lines.
    I created the text object ('TERMS') in table ttxob and text for it in table ttxot.
    Also created text id ('L000' and 'L001') in table ttxid and text for it in table ttxit.
    Now using FM read_text, save_text and edit_text, I have written a program but it does not save the data.
    When I run the program initially it displays me blank, then I enter some data into it. Again when I come back it displays the data and also saves the edition. But if I close my session the data is gone.
    It means it is not actually saving the data in database. My code is as below:
    *& Report ZAK_TEXT_EDITOR

    How can I put my playlists on my NAS media server (Buffalo Linkstation mini) so I can access them through Home Sharing and Sonos?  FYI, right now I run my iTunes with media location on my laptop's c: drive so I can manage podcasts while on the go and map a lettered network drive to the media server device when I connect up at home.

  • How to have all my music in one place!!

    Hi All
    My itunes is in a mess!!  My original computer broke and the itunes library had some of my cd collection as well as purchases from itunes.  I cannot find the back-up discs from this original library, it is however on my old ipod (which hasn't been synched for over a year!!).  Before the computer broke, I installed a couple of my favourite playlists onto my iphone (but not my entire music library).  I have been making new purchases from the same account name and password as I have always had but obviously on itunes re-installed onto a new laptop.  These new tunes have been synched to my iphone and I have recently upgraded my iphone software after backing it all up etc.
    When I tried to sync tonight, my iphone said that i had to erase and sync my library as i wanted to transfer new purchases onto it - i did this as there was no other choice! I have lost my fav playlists and only have recent purchases in my itunes library on the laptop.  i tried to sync my ipod which has my entire library minus recent purchases on it and it says that it is linked to another library and cannot transfer into my itunes - I have never had a different itunes account!!  I would like all my music together but now have half on one device and the other half on the other!  Is there a way I can merge the 2 together as i thought you could run 2 devices off one account - have tried thru' homesharing but not sure if that's the right way???
    Thanks in advance

    Hi MonkeyIsland2013,
    You can use the Consolidate iTunes Library function to do this:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”
