How to do (if possible) a bulk change of formats

Is there a way I can create a bulk change of formats? That is to say, I have six pages multiple frames of text (and graphics) with all kinds of different fonts, points, colors, effects etc.
I want to (as easily as possible) conduct a mass change where everything will be reformatted to (for example), Times new roman 12 point.
I would imagine I could create a paragraph style sheet and then go touch all the text boxes one at a time, but I was hoping for one click (ha ha ) and it is done.
Am I smoking funny stuff, or do I have to do it the old fashioned way. One text box at a time.

Bob,
InDesign "remembers" which values to change if you change the Paragraph Style, courtesy of this simple rule: If it is the same number in the text as in the style, it gets changed. Otherwise, it must've been some sort of override, and it's preserved.
Alt+clicking the paragraph style on your entire document resets
i everything
-- intended or not. Since that's what you wanted, no further problems. If you ever get into a spot where you
i don't
want to reset everything (because you manually fiddled), you can try this handy trick:
* find out what the "wrong" size is -- the one you want to kill.
* change the size in the paragraph style to the "wrong" size. Every paragraph with the style will get this applied. Exit the Paragraph Style options (so it will "take")
* Re-visit the Paragraph Style options and put in the right size. All and only the size overrides will have disappeared; the rest of your overrides stay in place.
This works with everything (as far as I'm concerned) you can change in Paragraph Styles, and as a matter of fact, also in Characters styles (and probably in Object styles and Table styles as well).

  • Bulk Change UserID and Primary Email Address

    Hi All,
    We have just successfully completed Cutover Migration and imported in all users and mailboxes from our existing Exchange 2010 environment into Exchange Online. However we are now wanting to change all UserID and Primary Email Addresses to conform with a
    new username strategy. All accounts are currently Cloud Only and we do not have DirSync set up and are not planning to.
    Currently the username and email address for a user is in the format [email protected] We want this now to be [email protected] for both logging in and email address. We want to maintain the old Email address as a proxy address. How is this possible?
    There are about 500 users, so I need a quick way of doing this with a script?
    Regards,
    Timus

    You can connect to Exchange Online via the powershell console.
    To add an emailaddress this should work :

  • How to change the format of a cell in a web report

    Hello experts,
    Is it possible to implement this in a Web Report/BEx query?
    We have a list of products grouped into Company A and Company B. One key figure is for example Net Cost Price.
    We need to highlight the lowest net cost price in every company but with a different colour depending on the company assuming prices are sorted in ascending order.
    We have been recommended to use Web Design Api for Tables but we understand that in order to format a cell content we need to know the axis position of the cell but we don't know how many rows the query will display for every company. Is this kind of requirements only possible with "static" reports where we know exactly the number of rows and columns that are going to be displayed?
    This is an example.
    COMPANY      PRODUCTS    NET COST PRICE
    Company A    Product 1    <b>5€</b>
                 Product 2    10€
    Company B    Product 1    <b>10€</b>
                 Product 2    20€
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Inma

    Hi Inma,
      If you have already not solved your problem , you can try the following solution with table interface class.
    Table interface class generates HTML table row by row so it first process the charecterstics and then KFs .
    You define a  attribute(type public) in class and set that attribute to X (In CHARECTERSTIC menthod)when ever the company code changes.
    Then make use of that flag in DATA method to change the format of cell (Assuming you sorted by Ascending).
    hope this helps.

  • How to Change Date Format in the Title of the report.

    Hi Everyone,
    I want to change the Format of the Date in the title(Query run Date)taken by report through the variable "&Date" .
    The Format available is DD-MON-YY
    Desired Format is DD-MON-YYYY.
    Please let me know the same as early as possible.

    Hi NP,
    What I try to do is to reformat the default &date inserted into the Title for Discovere Plus and Viewer. When you edit the Title for the report, you can select the date from the Insert dropdown list to display the date when the report was run. The Date (shown &Date in the Title) has a default format of DD-MON-YY. As I have other date parameters displyed in the Title that have the format of DD-MON-YYYY specified by the user, I want to have the &Data in the same format. Please advise me how to achieve this.
    Thank yiou very much,
    J.K.

  • Bulk changing all websites from SSL to non-SSL (443 to 80)

    While I was cleaning up my Mountain Lion Server, I innocently updated some SSL server certificates.
    Shortly afterwards, I found that ALL my HTTP (80) sites didn't work. I went into the Server.app and found that ALL my sites were now using port 443, rather than the port 80 that they were running on.
    Since I have over 100 sites, I need to know how to BULK update them back by removing the certificate they were assigned when I updated that specific cert.
    How did I update the certificate? I was looking at the Alerts section of the Server.app, that told me that some were expiring. There was a Replace button and that's what I clicked. I was never warned that it would change ALL my sites from having NO certificate to the certification that I replaced.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue quickly, without having to open up EACH site and change the certification to NONE (and thus changing the port back to 80)?

    There's no bulk update via the GUI [1], which leaves shutting off Server.app and mass-editing the Apache data.
    For a bulk change of 443 to 80, something like this should get you started. 
    FWIW, Do also confirm whether the port 80 sites are still around in the configuration data, as some web browsers are now selecting 443 whenever that's available.
    [1] Yes, I'm probably ignoring scripting via AppleScript here.  If I have to script something, it'll be the Apache data and not the GUI, and using bash, Python or other such and likely not AppleScript.  Local preference.

  • Is it possible to change date format in Web Dynpro?

    Hi,
    I have an input field that is mapped to a context data type of date.  It is showing me the data in the format of "mm/dd/yyyy".
    Is it possible for me to change this format to "dd/mm/yyyy"?
    I know it is possible to alter the Regional Setting in a Windows box.  What about Solaris box?  Are there specific properties within Web Dynpro that I could set so that I do not have to remember to change it everytime.  I have a few environments that I need to deploy to, so it makes sense for me to set the format into Web Dynpro.

    Hi Stefan,
    Could you be more elaborate?  What happens after that?  How do I populate data from the database to this new type?
    Currently, I can't find the Base Type of "date" in the lookup box.  Do you mean the Built-In Type?
    Thanx.

    is it possible in java to do this kind of thing ????

    is it possible in java to do this kind of thing????
    You can't just generically go from one format to
    another.
    If you have specific set of acceptable image formats
    and video formats you can sit down and plan how to do
    it in Java.
    There are many formats that you can convert using
    Java but not all possible formats.can you give me any hint or code to do how to change media formats from one format to another

  • Bulk changes to Common Resource Parameters

    Hi,
    I need to make changes to many disks and file server resources at once in my cluster.
    The settings I need to change are in the common properties for resources:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372230(v=vs.85).aspx
    RestartPeriod
    RestartThreshold
    SeperateMonitor
    but when I use this:
    get-clusterresource "cluster disk 104" | get-clusterparameter
    All I get are private properties about the disk. I don't understand how I can bulk change the parameters on the disks or file servers in powershell for common parameters. Does the set-clusterparameter still work for these even though they are not displayed?
    I really do not want to do this manually in the GUI.
    Just to clarify, I wanted something like this:
    get-clustergroup "Group 1" | get-clusterResource | Where {$_.ResourceType -like "Physical Disk"} | set-clusterparameter -name RestartPeriod -value xxxxx
    But I am not sure this will work as if I use "Get" I do not see that particular common parameter listed
    Thanks

    I managed to work this out. It was so easy in the end I was kicking myself.
    Lets say you want to change all DFSR resources that are set to failover if they fail:
    $NeedFixed = get-clusterresource | Where {($_.ResourceType -like "DFS Replicated folder") -and ($_.RestartAction -eq 2)}
    Foreach ($Resource in $NeedFixed) {$Resource.RestartAction = 1}
    or for disks you want to change some settings:
    $GroupDisks = get-clustergroup | Where {$_.Name -like "Groupname"}| get-clusterresource | Where {($_.ResourceType -like "Physical Disk")}
    Foreach ($Disk in $groupDisks) {$Disk.RestartAction = 1; $Disk.RestartPeriod = 1800000; $Disk.RestartThreshold = 10 }
    Thanks

  • To whom it might interest - "bulk" changes to the apex repository

    For those who might be interested in methods for "bulk" changing the apex repository, especially for medium large applications, i wrote a few queries that may come in handy for common problems like :
    - "how to change template on all labels currently set to "Optional"?
    - "how to quickly delete a region with a given name from multiple pages in one shot?"
    - "how to check if there are items or buttons attached to a region?"
    and stuff like that...
    The list of queries that i initially supplied is supposed to grow in the future.
    Of course this kind of practice is absolutely unsupported, officially discouraged, so, use at your own risk.

    Hi Flavio
    Your post didn't appear to set session state anywhere, which tends to screw things up.
    ie. your objects "disappear" from your workspace and get reassigned to flow_id 0.
    I always do the following before any changes:
    declare
    l_flow_id number := 101; /** set to match application */
    l_company_id number := 1203342054321505; /** set to match application */
    l_user varchar2(30) := 'MARK'; /** set to match application */
    l_sgid number := wwv_flow.get_current_flow_sgid(l_flow_id,l_company_id);
    l_csize number := 12;
    begin
    -- set Apex context
    apex_application.g_user := l_user;
    wwv_flow.g_flow_id := l_flow_id;
    if l_sgid is not null then
    wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=&gt;l_sgid);
    else
    raise_application_error(-20000,'Security group ID not found - must fix before can continue.');
    end if;
    /*** now do your changes ***/

  • How to specify only possible owner of the VM in Hyper-v cluster (Windows 2012R2)

    Good day,
    We want to prevent the migration of
    virtual machines between the cluster nodes in indows 2012R2 Hyper-V cluster.
    How to specify only possible owner of the VM in Hyper-v cluster (Windows 2012R2) ?
    SQL clustering

    Hi Al_leont,
    I ask if your using FOCM or SCVMM as you configure possible owners in different places. As well as possible owners you can also configure preferred owners, affinity and anti affinity groups and placement rules.
    To configure possible owner in FOCM you select the VM you want to configure, then in the bottom window select the resources tab (change from summary tab). Right click the Virtual Machine Resource, then select the Advance Polices tab of
    the popup window. You should then see the hyper-V nodes as Possible owners.
    In SCVMM you just right click on the VM and select properties, then settings form the popup window.
    Preferred owners, affinity and anti affinity groups, placement rules are configured in other locations or by PowerShell.
    Kind Regards

  • How much will I cost if I change the unibody?

    How much will I cost if I change the unibody?

    The only way you will retain any possibility of warranty coverage in the future will be to have Apple make all the repairs and restore the machine to like-new condition. If you do any of the work yourself, whatever warranty coverage you had on the day before you dropped the computer will be gone forever. You will have to have a careful, very detailed and specific conversation with AppleCare about whether your warranty will in fact be reinstated afterward if Apple does the repair work — I'm not at all sure it will be, and what I think doesn't matter anyway. Only what Apple says matters.
    I believe that if your display back needs replacement to put the machine in like-new condition, Apple will replace the entire display assembly. If that is true, the cost of the repairs (which won't be covered under any warranty, because they are the result of user carelessness) will very likely exceed the cost of an entirely new machine.

  • Bulk Changes to Transactions

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement of enabling Bulk Changes to transactions. For example if select 5 opportunities and change the status for one of the opportunity, the status for the other selected opportunities also gets changed.
    Any pointers on how to achieve this would be highly appreciated
    Regards,
    Varun

    Hi Varun,
    When you mentioned select 5 opportunities, from which screen/transaction
    you select these documents from?
    You can create Action Defintion to call Function CRM_ORDER_CHANGE_STATUS to each of those 5 documents.
    Hope this helps.
    cheers,
