Selecting non-contiguous text in Safari

I cannot find a way to select non-contiguous text in Safari.
Select>Command>select does not work (as it does in Text Edit.
I am very surprised that I can't locate any information on this via google, yahoo, etc.
The only item I did find is something called "Safari Magic" but it looks pretty old and costs $19.
So here I am hoping to get "truth" from the source (or any kind person).
I'm in Snow Leopard; Safari 5.1.5.
Thanks.

Carolyn
Thanks. I hadn't explored Safari's Extensions (only Firefox's). Your was a good suggestion. Alas - and to my absolute consternation - nothing for selecting non-contiguous text.
mcbuffy
Thanks. And as I alluded to Carolyn...this is really odd and frustrating. Not just that this functionality does not exist in an Apple application while it does in other Apple apps, but also that there does not appear to be any Extensions directed at this function.
Can I be the only person in the world who selects and copies random or non-contiguous text from web sites?

Select non-consecutive text

How do I select non-consecutive text in V5.1? I have a new macbook air and am new to apple. This is such a simple thing, surely there is a way.

Yeah!
Some people seem to just bulldoggedly want to head deeper into the swamp.
I was just at the local PC User Group yesterday, listening to their tales of woe.
I carefully and clearly explained why they had their problems, then the few simple steps to avoid them, but they think they HAVE to use IE, they HAVE to do all the complicated and silly things that PC users do.
Down to buying an expensive replacement battery for an ancient laptop, with faulty keys, that was worth less than the battery.
Everything else doesn't even register. I can see how these PC service centres manage to suck all that money from the poor schmucks.

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.

Translate the texts you need in german and rest keep it as it is.
In your code pass if SET LOCALE LANGUAGE = 'EN'.
Read the text elements

SET LOCALE LANGUAGE = 'DE'.

How to select none-adjacent files

Given a list of files - can I select none-adjacent files ?
I tried Alt Click, it does not work

Yes, it is in the Mac Help files. In the Finder, click Help, and enter "selecting files" in the search. In the search results, click "Select Items." That help file describes the shortcuts. Also, here is the same help page on the Web: Select Items
If you came from Windows, selecting works pretty much the same way on the Mac. You can substitute the Mac Command key for times you would use the Windows Control key, or substitute the Mac Option key for times you would use the Windows Alt key. This works for (most) keyboard shortcuts and many mouse actions. For example:
On Windows:
Shift-click files for contiguous selection
Control-click files for non-contiguous selection
On Mac:
Shift-click files for contiguous selection
Command-click files for non-contiguous selection

How to select and search text in this document?

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/manageability/database/pdf/ow05/PS_S003_274003_1 06-1_FIN_v2.pdf
is a document I can read but cannot copy text from. I can't search for any text in it either. Is there a way to convert it to a PDF file I can select and search text in? What did the author do to make it "encrypted"? Thanks.
Yong Huang

I notice Google can convert it to plain text:
http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:e4rkLs8pPekJ:www.oracle.com/technology/products/manage ability/database/pdf/ow05/PS_S003_274003_106-1_FIN_v2.pdf+understanding+shared+pool&cd=1&h l=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
(If that long URL doesn't work, just search for "understanding shared pool" and click "View as HTML".)
For now I'll use that. Thanks everyone.
Also, my local desktop search program Copernic can also index keywords in the article.

How do I highlight non-contiguous text on pages?

I've tried on pages using the command key, the alt key, the control key. None of them wil let me highlight texts from different parts of a document at the sametime. Does anyone know how to do this?

It always helps to say what version of the software you are using, so we don't have to guess.
It sounds like you are using Pages 5 because Apple removed this along with about 100 other features.
Use Pages '09 if you have it.

How to select non cumulative KF in Planning Sheet

All,
I have an aggregation level build on top of a multiprovider which contains the follwoing 3 cubes, one of the cubes is 0IC_C03 - Material Stocks/Movements (as of 3.0B).
This cube provides the total stock data. I do not plan on key figures in this cube, just read it, it is not a real time cube. I need to know my stock level per plant for today. For this there is key figure 0TOTALSTCK. I can not select this one in the aggregation level though because it is a non cumulative KF. Does anyone know a way around this?
How can I get the key figure data of 0TOTALSTCK in my planning sheet?
Cheers!

Hello
You might create the aggregation level direclty on top of the RT cube and add the aggragation level under the multiprovider instead of having the aggregate level over the multiprovider. Then you can have the 0TOTALSTCK on the query because it will be assigned to the multiprovider.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Lucimar

Help selecting non-continuous text in code editor, please?

I'm editing a list... I want to make a lot of selections at once and edit them at the same time. You know how you can go through files in windows and ctrl+click/select files to move around? I could do this in Notepad++ so I guess I could switch back and forth but that would be a big pain. Any ideas?

Depending on what the edit is, you could use the Find & Replace (CRTL+F) to just click your way through the list items. If the list is all different items, you'll probably have to do it in a word processor. I don't know any way to do it in the code editor.

How to include non-photo text files when burning a DVD-RW

I'm using Photoshop Elements 3.0.1 on Windows XP Service Pack 2.
I want to include a couple of text (TXT) files on a DVD-RW disc that I'm going to burn my photos to. The text files will contain a chronicle of the trip on which I took the photos.
I can't figure out how to get Photoshop Elements (PSE) to let me include these text files. Is there a way to do that in PSE? It seems to only allow you to work with photo files.
As a work-around, I tried first burning the text files to the disc using Nero and not finalizing the disc. I then tried to use PSE's burn command to add the photos, but PSE objected that the disc was not empty and asked me if I wanted to erase its contents. When I said "No", it asked me to insert a different disc. So apparently PSE will only work with an empty disc or a partially-full disc that you are willing to erase first.
Help!
Thanks.
Steve Westfall

Ward,
I didn't try burning the photos first and then burning the text files with Nero, because I read elsewhere in the forum that PSE has the nasty habit of always finalizing the disc when it finishes its burning session, which means you couldn't add anything to it in a subsequent burning session. However, I haven't verified that. I'll have to try it.
The work-around that I finally came up with and successfully used was basically your second option. I used the export command to export the pictures that I want to a directory, and then used Nero to burn those pictures and anything else I want to the disc.
Still, it seems like there ought to be a way to get PSE to include files other than photos.
Thanks for your input.
Steve
