How to enter text into text box in Pages '09

When I manually select a text boxes in Pages, I can paste text into them. I can move from text box to text box using System Events to keystroke tabs but have not figured out how to get Applescript Editor to make the pastes. I am trying to use Applescript Editor to enter text into a pages document that is formatted for labels.

I have downloaded template U-0089-02_P.doc from Avery, 14 boxes displayed in two columns of seven rows.
Once you have clicked in the upper left box, the following script should enter text into every box, from left to right and top to bottom.
tell application "Pages"
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "Box 1"
keystroke tab & tab -- to go to the next column
keystroke "Box 2"
keystroke tab -- to go to the next row
keystroke "Box 3"
keystroke tab & tab
-- and so on
end tell
end tell
The problem is that I don't know how to enter the upper left box from the AppleScript Editor.

How to get the long text into text area

Hi,
save_text is working fine .
Now I want to display the text in text area .
am using read_text fm for this and data is coming into the internal table of the function module.
how shd I display that long text into text area and that text shld appear has display mode only and how shd I make all other fields in my subscreen as display mode.
Pls guide me its urgent.
thanks,
krishna

Hai.
check this.
Long Texts are stored in tables
STXH - header
STXL - details.
if you want to read the texts you can use Fun Module READ_TEXT
Any Application document Header and Item Long texts are stored in STXH table with the 4 parameters OBJECT,ID,NAME and LANG
These texts are fetched from database using READ_TEXT fun module by passing the above 4 parameters.
Double click on the text, from the text editor menu GOTO-> HEDAER
you will find the all above 4 parameters
so accordingly you have to pass to the fun module READ_TEXT to fetch the texts.
example:

Concatenate hex and text into text in old versions

Hello!
The code
DATA: v_hex1 TYPE x VALUE '0A',
      v_text1 TYPE char100,
      v_text2 TYPE char100.
CONCATENATE v_hex1 v_text1 INTO v_text2.
works fine on my 4.7 WAS 620 system. However, I've got complaints from other SDNers (I've posted a weblog with code) that they get systax error <i>V_HEX1 must be a character-type data object (data type C, N, D, T or String), field string).</i>
Is there an alternative, version-independant way, to concatenate hex and text into text?
My problem is that I don't have older SAP version available, so I can't test.
Thanks!
Igor

Hi Igor,
I have executed this very code on a 4.6C system and on a 4.0B system. I did not get any error. But if I change the type of v_hex to an integer, then I get the error which says the data type of v_hex should be C,N,D,T or string.
I wonder why I do not get the error even when v_hex is of type x.
Anyways, if the error does come, then may be we can use something like this -
DATA: v_hex1 TYPE x VALUE '0A',
      v_text1 TYPE char100,
      v_text2 TYPE char100.
write v_hex to v_text2.
CONCATENATE v_text2 v_text1 INTO v_text2.
This will not give you any error as such, but 0A is interpreted as a character string :-(.
=======================================
More surprisingly, if I execute your code on a 4.7 with WAS 640, I get the error you are talking about.
With some confusion,
Anand Mandalika.

I can't paste text into info boxes anymore with the latest version of itunes

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of itunes (on Windows 7), I can no longer paste text into the info boxes when I edit song information. I can’t paste by right-clicking or Ctrl+V, this is driving me crazy because I’m trying to add info on a Russian artist with Cyrillic letters and I can’t do it! I didn’t buy the song from itunes so it can’t be issues with Copyrighting although the same thing happens with songs from the store and every other song in my library. I can paste text into the lyrics section but that’s it. I restarted my computer after reinstalling the latest versions of itunes and Firefox today hoping it would fix my problem but it didn’t. Is this happening to anyone else? I hope someone can help me! Oh and it isn’t just with Russian, I tried to paste English info just to see if it was a problem with recognizing Cyrillic and still nothing pastes, the boxes just stay blank.
Itunes is annoying me more than ever. With the constant updates you’d think they would be able to improve all bugs but once one problem is fixed another occurs and it’s so irritating because I couldn’t care less about how my library looks as long as everything is organized in a simple way and I can sync my ipod without spending forever on itunes re-editing stuff and readjusting to updated layout changes. Apple’s attempts at making things look “cool” isn’t worth the F-ing constant problems which matter more! Okay, rant over

With the latest version of iTunes, my library screen has changed completely and I no longer have a Summary tab to select manual syncing of my iPod when I plug it into my computer.
That would be Manually manage, not Manually syncing.
Click the drop down arrow at top left the Show menu.
Then iTunes menu View > Show sidebar.
Select the iPod then you can select the Summary tab.

How to enter values in JList box and JTable ???

Hi friends...
i am new to Swing
SInce i am using Netbeans IDE 5.5
and there is easy to do swing programming using this IDE
now i am confused using JTable and JList box
since i used method Insert in AWT
but how to add values in LIST BOX ( JList )
ex.
JList list = new JList( );

here it ask for component so what should i write here..
when i write here this, gives error.
what to do to insert string or vector or object in JList
and to enter value in JTable
THanks

hi Ghanshyam,
i am also new to swing i was just wondering are you using the swing palette to create your interface
by the look of the code
JList list = new JList( );
list.add(mystringvalue, ? );you may not be because every JList is put in a JScrollPane
but if you do want to do it through the palette there is an option in properties - model which you can uses to add in values.
and if your looking to get info. from a database look up
AbstractListModel &
AbstractTableModel
the is a lot of info on the internet (example net beans CarTableModel) is a
good start off
happy hunting.

How to enter constants into Labview that will affect the graph?

How do you enter constants into Labview in which x and y would be dependent on them? Ex. Say I am creating a graph of voltage vs time and I want to have constants such as trigger level (such as wanting my graph to start recording data when it reaches 20 volts and stop recording after 20 volts). I would also want to have a time interval as a constant. I have no clue how to do this in labview so I am looking for some kind of help. Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You would just make the values write to an array of x vs y.
The values would only write if some boolean was true (such as voltage > 20)
Then cluster the x and y and send the cluster to a graph.

How to inject html into a wiki generate page?

How do you put in custom HTML into a wiki generated page? Say I have a I want injected into each wiki page; where within the structure of the wiki server files am I able to do that? I figured finding the code where the <head> tag for a wiki page is created would be a good place to start, but I haven't been able to find where that is done. Any ideas? Thanks.

From the SL Server Wiki Admin document:
To add JavaScript files or XSL files to a theme:
1 Put JavaScript (.js) files or XSL (.xsl) files in this folder (shown below): /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/Themes/theme_name/ Replace theme_name with the name of the theme.
I've done this, and I can see that the javascript is available in the generated html, but I don't see in the documentation on how call the javascript function. What am I missing here?

How to print text into different boxes in a main window

Hi,
     I divided the main window into 5 windows using boxes.
     Now how can I print different data into each of these boxes.
     The data comes from a print program .
Please suggest.

Hi
In smartforms you can create a template object or a table object and set the boxes.
after you'll create the text object into the templeate and set on which box the data will write.
best regards

I just upgraded to Firefox 17.0.1 and now I am unable to entered anything into text fields.

After upgrading to Firefox 17.0.1 text cannot be entered in either the URL bar, the search bar, or any text boxes/input fields/forms on webpages. When the text field is clicked the cursor is positioned properly and blinks but typing generates no text.

How can I continue text into column on next page in the new Pages?

In the previous version of Pages if your text exceeded the length of the column, there was a little icon to the right of the column where you could click to have the remaining text continue to another column on another page. I don't see any option to continue the text once you've run out of space. How can this be done in the new verio

Downloaded a new txt tone. It has gone into Ringtones. How do I get into Text Tone on my settings?

I have downloaded a new text tine. When I syncd the iphone, it has gone into my Ringtone catagry under Sounds. Hw do I transfer it to Text Tone?

You don't. Currently, custom SMS tones is not a feature of the iPhone. This will change when iOS 5.0 is released this fall, but for now what's on your phone are your only choices.

IDCS3: Can't enter values into dialog boxes

I've just started using InDesign CS3 on an Intel Mac, having been using CS2 on a G5. When I try to enter a value into a dialog box, nothing happens. The dialog box refuses to accept any inputted value. If I use the up/down arrows, I can change the value but only in whole increments. I can't, for instance, place an item 10.5mm from the page edge. It has to be 10 or 11mm.
The same is true of any dialog box for any value.
Has anyone else experienced this very frustrating issue?
Thanks.

I guess I need to clarify my situation. I was using the wrong terminology. When I talk about "dialog boxes" I mean the palettes like the Control Panel, Paragraph, Character, Stroke, etc. I can't type into any of them. If I put the cursor in, say, the X pos text box and hit tab (to go to the Y pos text box) all that happens is that all the palettes are hidden. It's like I can't get any focus at all in the palette text boxes.
Sorry about the confusion.
This problem isn't limited to my machine, it happens on any of our networked Macs running CS3, so I think the problem may be related to something else, possibly the Suitcase Server. But there's no way I can confirm this. I was hoping someone else had had the same problem and discovered a solution.
Cheers.
