How to make an insertion point

Sorry I'm new here... I have tried searching and looked through the tutorials but how do you make an insertion point using CS5?

Can you elaborate?
Are you following a tutorial?
As a guess, you click anywhere on the web page (to make an insertion point) and then go to the next step.

How to make an insert script for CLOB data types?

I need to have an insert script for Oracle 11g where I insert large texts into a CLOB field
I exported data from a source table using TOAD's export dataset and the insert statements option, so it generates a script of just simple insert into statements with the clob strings in the values clause within single quotes.
While most of the inserts succeed, several fail with the error: string literal too long
How can I insert long texts into clobs?
One workaround I was considering, is maybe breaking up those inserts which are too big, so that it inserts a chunk, and then does an update to append additional chunks? not sure if that would work either
first wanted to get any ideas from the oracle experts here in case there is a much easier, non-manual labor intensive way.

Thank you for that informative link, Raj
I wouldn't be able to use SQL Loader for this though, this is something that gets submitted to a DBA in a request and it must be in a script that can be run in Sql Plus, and it cannot pull it from a table or file.

In Address Book, how to stop notes insert point jumping to the top? of the page

Completely maddening thing that address book - and no other app I have ever encountered does, as you are typing information into the notes field of a contact, it will suddenly jump the cursor up to the start of the page, often leaving one word half finished and adding onto the front of some other bit of information is a totally crazy way.
I use three Macs, all of them do it. Has anyone else encountered this?
It seems to be since the ghastly faux leather Lion address book has been introduced, ( I assume Mr Jobs had nothing to do with that )
Any ideas on how to prevent it happening? Im not a touch typist, so I have to keep looking at the kbd, then I wont realise until half way through a sentence it has decided to split it in half and put some of it at the top of the page. Crazy.
Thanks
Stephen

How to make the "insert" key on macbook?

I try hard to find insert key,not seen.
what should I do?

I'm afraid there is no insert-key. If you're just going to do some copy-pasting, try command-C for copy and command-V for paste. command-X is for cut.

Insertion point thickness--help for the visually impaired

I experience difficulty in seeing the blinking 'insertion point' bar or carat.
I have increased the size of the cursor and I beam using the preference panel controls. I can see these clearly.
It would help if I could make the 'insertion point' thicker and increase the rate of blink. (I know its height is fixed by the point size of the font used).
I have looked at the Mighty Mouse software which allows you to customise cursors but not the 'insertion point'.
Grateful for help, advice, or guidance as to a way of solving this problem.
Many thanks
B:o)

Malcolm,
Thank you for your speedy reply.
Much appreciated. Have looked at these products and they look great. Sadly they don't appear to address the 'insertion bar' point that I'm seeking to solve.
Even so thank you for responding to my cry for help.
Best wishes

How to make a mangled circle smooth-edged again

AI CS3. I'm fixing someone else's file. I've got a circle (filled with a gradient) into which an irregular shape (basically a square which was curved on the edge where it met the circle) was cut. The square had to be deleted (it contained a graphic we didn't want) which left me with a big white squarish space cut into the circle. I can move the two corner points that formed the square out to the edge of the circle, but I can't figure out how to make them curve points. Right now I've got a circle with some straight line segments that ruin the circular path. I knew how to do this in FreeHand. <grumble> If someone can tell me how to do a Paste Into in Illustrator, I might be able to go back to my original file and paste the gradient into the irregular shape and match it up with the gradient in the circle. TIA, Marlene

Are you sure you do not have a Compound Path that you can release?

[AS] How to make cross reference at insertion point

Hi,
I have a book ("indb") including several documents with several "anchors"
(german translation: "Textanker") where cross references from different documents are linked to.
What I already got is to reference all anchors and collect them in a list.
Now I would like to make a new cross reference at the insertion point
in a text frame of the active document - can't get it to run :-(
Is anybody out there who can post a AS-sample doing this?
Thanks in advance!
Here is the reference to an already existing anchor:
{hyperlink text destination id 44155 of document "kapitel 2.indd" of application "Adobe InDesign CS4"}
The code I tried to make a new cross reference looks like this - but of course doesn't work:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
tell active document
make new hyperlink with properties {name:"new hyperlink", destination:hyperlink text destination id 44155 of document "kapitel 2.indd"}
end tell
end tell

Thanks a lot - got it now!
Maybe it could be helpful for others to look at your answer
with the placeholders replaced by "real" strings as it was hard for me
to figure out the right form:
tell document 1
set theDest to make hyperlink text destination with properties {name:"Some name", destination text:<a reference to the relevant text>}
this line for example looks like this =>
set theDest to make hyperlink text destination with properties {name:"Some name", destination text:insertion point 902 of story id 44083 of document "kapitel 3.indd" of application "Adobe InDesign CS4"}
set theSource to make cross reference source with properties {name:"Some name",source text:< reference to the relevant text>}
this line for example looks like this =>
set theSource to make cross reference source with properties {name:"Some name", source text:cursorPosition, applied format:cross reference format id 44305 of document "kapitel 1.indd" of application "Adobe InDesign CS4"}
where "cursorPosition" was defined before by
set cursorPosition to object reference of selection
(the cross reference source needs the applied format reference too)
make hyperlink with properties {source:theSource, destination:theDest, visible:true, highlight:invert, width:thick, border color:dark green, border style:dashed, name:"Whatever" }
this line for example looks like this =>
make hyperlink with properties {source:theSource, destination:hyperlink text destination id 44184 of document "kapitel 3.indd" of application "Adobe InDesign CS4", border color:black, highlight:none, border style:solid, hidden:false, visible:true, width:thin}
end tell

How to locate the first insertion point on every page?

I need to paste some same anchored objects on every page for exporting RTF format.
So I need to locate the first insertion point on every page.
Then, I use the code below (make a simple example):
for(i = 0; i < app.documents[0].pages.length; i ++){
app.select(app.documents[0].pages[i].textFrames[0].insertionPoints[0])
app.paste()
But when a file has a very long table spread over several pages, the location operation will select the insertion point before the table --- the starting point of the table.
For instance, a table start on page 3 and end on page 10
app.documents[0].pages[4~10].textFrames[0].insertionPoints[0]) can't select the first insertion point from page 4 to page 10. (In terms of scripting, the insertion point exists before the very long table starting on page 3.)
How can I solve the problem? Thanks in advance.

I dont know exactly what you are trying to do but you can try this. If you have table which runs trough multiple pages, you can first divede this tabel, that cells on separate pages would represent stand alone table. Than you can fit textframe to this table. When addressing indention poin you will get right position.
In your case when table start at 3rd and ends on 10th page you would get 8 tables in 8 textframes on its own page. If textframes are linked and table is smaller than textframe you will have problem when addressing first insertion point on 4th or any other page. That why you should fit textframe to table:
var bl=app.activeDocument.pages[1].textFrames[0].insertionPoints[0].baseline
var tf=app.activeDocument.pages[1].textFrames[0];
var gb=[tf.geometricBounds[0],tf.geometricBounds[1],bl,tf.geometricBounds[3]];
tf.geometricBounds=gb;
Now when you set
app.activeDocument.pages[1].textFrames[0].insertionPoints[0] you will get position before table or
app.activeDocument.pages[1].textFrames[0].insertionPoints[-1] you will get position after table

How do I let Apple know they need to include an option for controlling the insertion point cursor in system preferences?

As described above.
I have spent far too much time investigating this issue! All I would like to do is have the insertion point cursor (the 'I' shaped text thing) not dissapear when navigating text in a word document with the arrow keys.
Some forums say it's an apllication issue, i.e. microsoft, others say you used to be able to do it in older versions of mac os'.
This isn't a problem for Mac programmes. Obviously it is an issue when Microsoft programmes cross over to Mac. If the computer was a PC then I could customise the blinking rate, turn it on or off etc under the control panel options. With a Mac running MS Office I have not got this option.
So how do I go about telling Apple of my displeasure? So hopefully for future editions of OS or Office for Mac this very minor but completely infuriating problem gets ironed out?
Cheers x

Thank you Ralph n Kurt, very quick off the mark boys, well done
Just checking in to inform you that today, after putting up with the issue for over a year, it has sorted itself out, MIRACLE! I don't know how but I've got a fully trackable insertion point when I navigate with my arrow keys!!
Do you think it's the big-wigs (because I complained to both Mac n MS) tweaking my computer behind the secenes? and if so which one would've done it? My money's on the geniusii.
Either way I am well chuffed and thanks again!

How to make the WTR 610N external (USB) storage port my network common BackUP point..

My networked PC's (XP Pro & VISTA Ultimate OS's) are set up to share those Folders & files I've selected for BackUp. I intend to connect a 600 Gb ext HD to my WTR 610N Ext Storage port. I hope a simple instruction (Move to...;Copy to...; even Point & drag) will suffice to create the BackUp. What commands should I use to select location and name of that special BackUp port.?

How to Make my Macbook Pro's internal HDD external, when I get a SSD?
Get an externel enclosure at the same time.
You can order from OWC
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Put the SSD in the externel enclosure and use something like Carbon Copy Cloner, to clone the internal drive and all it content to the SSD. Then swap them out.
Always good to have more than one backup.

How do you change size of text cursor or 'insertion point' in adobe cc for mac?

how do you change size of text cursor or 'insertion point' in adobe ID cc for mac? I have looked everywhere. It's possible in Windows and Word but not in Mac. Please help. I spend half my time trying to find that blinking upright bar.

Thanks for your note but it’s still a skinny rod that seems to disappear. Why can’t it become a little thicker so it doesn’t disappear no matter what size I have set the screen? My poor old eyes aren’t what they used to be. I do appreciate your answering and I’ll enlarge the screen so the blankety-blankety blinking rod is at least visible. Nancy

Cursor size is governed by the type size and will be be larger or smaller on screen depending on how close you are zoomed in.
