How to highlight non-consecutive words - Illustrator

You know how if you hold down command while you highlight separate words, for example, in TextEdit (see screenshot)? How can you do this in an Illustrator text box? When I try to do it, it keeps trying to grab the text box as if it was the arrow tool.

Great idea though would be nice to be able to do a noncontiguous text selection.
The command key in illustrator is a shortcut to switch to the pointer tool, and you cannot disable that using edit >> keyboard shortcuts.

How to extract non-consecutive pages

I have Adobe Acrobat X Standard 10.0.0 Viewing thumbnails and attempting to select non-consecutive pages then extract the selected pages to a new pdf file. when I select non-consecutive pages and select Extract it automatically high lights all pages between the first selected and last selected. The form presented for extracting seems only to list pages between two numbers not non-consecutive. I want only those selected i.e. page 3,8,16,24. Can you please help me?

Great idea!
Does this work with the latest version of Adobe?

Hi,
If you know the order of the keywords (that is, if 'LAST' must come before 'RESOLUTION'):
WHERE str LIKE '%LAST%RESOLUTION%'where str is the string with accents standardized.
Now, since you're starting with a variable like 'LAST RESOLUTION', you need to convert it to '%LAST%RESOLUTION%', so say
WHERE str LIKE '%' || REPLACE ( :p1_report_search     -- TRANSLATE would work, too
               || '%'Watch out for the "mother is in chemotherapy" problem.
That is, if str = 'AMY''S ORDEAL WITH CHEMOTHERAPY", and :p1_report_search = 'MY MOTHER', you'll get a match, because str contains the 2-character sibstring 'MY' and the 6-character substring 'MOTHER' in that order.
If that's not what you want, then you can search on whiole words only, like this:
{code}
WHERE ' ' || REPLACE ( str
          , ' '     -- 1 space ...
          , ' '     -- ... becomes 2 spaces
     || ' ' LIKE '% ' || REPLACE ( :p1_report_search     -- TRANSLATE won't work, now
                    , ' % '     -- spaces before and after wild-card
               || ' %'
{code}
This assumes that all words are delimited by spaces.
If you want punctuation or other whtiespace (like tabs) to delimit words, that can be done, too.

How do you extract non consecutive pages from a pdf document. I can highlight in thumbnails but only extract consecutive.

How do you extract non consecutive pages from a pdf document?
I see its easy to do it with consecutive pages by highlighting thumbnails then 'extract' but this does not allow for non consecutive pages.
Thank you

After highlighting the pages you can drag them and drop them somewhere,
like on the desktop, and a new file will be created with just those pages.
If highlighting the pages is not feasible, or too tricky to do, then a
script can be used where you specify which pages to extract and the script
extract them to a new file.

How do I select non consecutive columns

Selecting non-consecutive text in Safari text boxes?

I've been trying to find a way to highlight/select different ranges of text in Safari without luck; I know that selecting consecutive text can be done by holding down "shift", but is there any way to do it with non-consecutive text? TextEdit is able to do this -- I can select a word in one paragraph, hold down the "command" key, and then separately highlight a word or sentence in another paragraph.

Anyway to highlight a particular word in text?

I'm trying to implement some necessary features using htmlText (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=textcontrols_04.html). One thing I need to do is highlight a particular word in a sentence. Something along the lines of
This is a sentence with a <highlight> highlighted </highlight> word.
None of the tags in the aforementioned list seem to be able to be able to do anything like this. I was hoping for a backgroundColor attribute in the font tag, or something. I've also looked at the CSS capabilities, etc... and simply using setStyle("backgroundColor" ...) wouldn't do any good, as I need to highlight only one word.
It seems we'll just have to find another way to emphasize the text in question, but before I abandon all hope, am I missing anything?

I think you already know this, but you can change the color of the text with <font color=""> and/or make it bold with <b>, and I think you can make it italic with <i> or <em>.
Like I said, I think you already knew that but thought I'd mention it.
You could use the drawing API to draw a rectangle under the word, but with different fonts and font sizes that would be difficult to get right and consistent.

How can I sort the words in a document into an alphabetical list?

Copy the words to the Mac's clipboard (Edit menu> Copy)
Paste into TextEdit
Next open the Edit > Find > Find window in Text Edit.
Highlight a space between two words and Edit menu > copy, paste into the Find field
Next create a return in the middle of your text and copy that and paste into the Replace field
Click Replace All.
Now Edit > Select All and Edit > Copy
Open a Spreadsheet program with Sort ability and paste into the second column cell from the top
place a "a" into the top column cell, select the entire colum
Sort desending order
Now if you need it out of spreadsheet format, then your going to need to copy just the data cells (not the entire column to avoid problems) and Paste "Special" as unformatted text into a word processing program
If you need to get rid of the Returns, do the opposite you did in Text Edit, replace the Returns with Spaces
A chore, but it's rare one needs to sort words into alaphabetical order.
FYI, I used TextEdit and the free LibreOffice (Spreadsheet and Word Processing) for the above effects.

How do I open a word doc using Pages?

I am new to Macs and I have no idea how to open a word document in Pages. I really do not want to keep Windows or Word on the mac so if there is any way to keep Windows off my computer please help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
If you want to always open Word documents with Pages, you can set OS X to do that. Highlight a known Word document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Pages. If Pages is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Pages application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Pages. You can then double-click the Word documents & they will open in Pages. Note that the icon for the Word files will have a plain, white icon.
