How to set the text of a cell in Numbers to vertical direction? Tks.

Hi
In Numbers, please tell me how to switch the text of a cell to vertical direction?
Tks.

Hi Kyle,
In Numbers, nothing having to do with a table can be rotated. (In Pages an entire Table can be rotated, but not text within a Table.)
There have been many suggestions posted here over the life of iWork for vertical labels. Most fall into three categories:
1. Type one letter, Option-Return, type another letter, Option-Return, and so forth.
2. Type label in a Text Box, rotate the box, position the box over the table, covering the cell where you need a label.
3. Create a PDF graphic with rotated text and insert it into table cell as Background Fill.
The third option is clearly the best. The steps for option three are:
Insert Text Box
Type label into the box
Rotate the text box
Select the text box (not the text inside the box)
Command-C
Switch to Preview.app
Command-N
Command-C
Switch to Numbers
Click on Cell where the label goes
Command-V
It sounds worse than it is. You can reuse the Text Box so you don't end up with a sheet full of them.
Regards,
Jerry

  • How to set the text as an image

    Is there a way to set the text to automatically change to an image? (In preference panel, you select "Sow text imaging indicator", then there comes a yellow sign over the text, meaning that the text will be a graphic in the browser) Some text does change to a graphic but some does not. It´s very annoying cause the text sometimes changes in the browser, some don´t. So is there not a way to select which text changes to a graphic?

    Okay I made a new text box and changed the font until the little graphic appeared. Now I know, but, I also know that a lot of the font I tried would not be on someone else's computer (specially windows) but it would not have converted I guess it would have been substituted. That is really not good because the look would be very different. Should we force a conversion then to insure that it looks like what we want? Then we no longer have any text we have mostly graphics and is that not bad to be found by the search engines?
    This is so complicated!

  • How to Set the Text of an Onstage TextField?

    I'm trying to set an onstage TextField instance's "text" property, while maintaining embedded fonts and its onstage appearance.
    Problem Encountered: Text doesn't show up when setting text via ActionScript on an on-stage TextField w/ embedded text.
    Workaround: Create and assign a TextFormat object:
    defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat('Arial', 100, 0x000000, true, true);
    Annoyance: This defeats the purpose of styling text with the IDE.
    Possible Solution: Import the embedded font to the library and export for ActionScript?

    My problem was actually that merely setting the *text* property caused my dynamic TextField w/ embedded font to not display any text. BUT, I just re-tested this with a new file, and the problem doesn't occur. Only thing I can think of is -- my FLA was created with an older version of Flash... possibly MX 200(4?). Could this be the issue?

  • How to set the text in a jtextfield to align to the left

    A quick simple question. I'm populating a jtextfield with text pulled from a record. However the text is too long to fit in the jtextfield and the alignment is set to the right rather than the left. How do I set the alignment of the text in the jtextfield to be on the left, so that the first character of the string is shown?
    I've tried using
    setHorizontalAlignmnet(JTextField.LEFT),
    but my text still appears right justified in the jtextfield. It means that the user has to scroll the text to go to the beginning of the string, rather than the usual of scrolling the right to go the end of the string.
    This has really gotten me stumped!

    HI thanks for the help. Unfortunately it doesn't work if the text is longer than the actual textfield. The textfield would still show the end of the text, rather than showing the beginning of the text.
    For e.g.
    |est text|
    is show rather than
    |test tex|
    which is my desired result.
    Any further suggestions please.

  • JTable How to align the Text in a Cell to Centre

    Hi Plese Help regarding JTable.
    I want to align the Text in the Table Cell to Centre how to align it. Im using Abstract Data Model TAble an what is the meaning of renderer and its use.. Help me out

    Here are a couple of links you should read for information on tables and renderers:

    http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jtable/index.html?dwzone=java
    Here is an example of a simple renderer that will:
    a) center the text
    b) highlight the background when the cell gets focus
    This renderer is only used in two of the columns of the table.

  • How to set the text color in a Canvas?

    When I use (Graphics) g.setColor(255,255,255), then g.drawString("xxx", 0, 0, ....);
    the simulator works well but it can't work in my mobile phone (Nokia 7650).
    What's wrong?
    Thanks.

    do it like this
    g.setColor(255,255,255);//this will set the color for the canvas
    g.fillRect(0,0,ht,wd);//this will fill the rect(screen) with the above color,actually this will be BG color for ur app..ht,wd are the height and width of ur canvas...
    now specify color for the text
    g.setColor(r,g,b);//this color shud ofcourse be diff frm the color set for BG
    now draw the string
    g.drawString("xxx", 0, 0, ....);

  • How to restrict the text field to enter only numbers???

    I have used "onkeyup" event to call a function "test", I am getting the alert message for every entry (even for a number), I dont know why I am getting this. Please help me out.....
    Number1 : <input type="text" name="myin1" id="a" onkeyup="test(this,event)">
    function test(ff,evt)
    evt = (evt) ? evt : event;
    var charCode = (evt.charCode) ? evt.charCode : ((evt.keyCode) ? evt.keyCode :
    ((evt.which) ? evt.which : 0));
    if (charCode > 31 && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57)) {
    alert("Only numbers are allowed"); }
    }

    Hi,
    However this is java forum and you are asking for a solution of a javascript problem,
    I think I got the problem.
    This script works fine when I run it on IE and use the numeric keys above the text keys,
    but give error when I use the numerical keypad on the right.
    I think you should change your if condition like this
    if (charCode > 31 && ((charCode < 48 || charCode > 57) || (charCode < 96 || charCode > 105)) {                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • How to get the text of several cells in one? (Operator "&")

    Hi there,
    I have a list of done and planned tasks. In the one column, there is the description, in the other is the status like "plan" "open" and "closed".
    Now I want to create an overview.How can I filter the "open" tasks and display them in one cell? I could do it like
    +If(B1="open";A1;"") & If(B2="open";A2;"")...+
    and so on. But as I have over 20 projects and therefor over 20 sheets, I'm seeking for a easier way. Also the reference thing would only work if there is only one open project, but sometimes I have two or three open tasks.

    schubladenachrank,
    Now, I think I see what you are trying to do. With a clearer picture of what you wanted I came up with the following:
    First of all, the added columns in you project (title) tables are no longer necessary.
    Next, an "Open Tasks Summary", is still needed but a different concept is employed. A column is needed for each title and if a task is open, that task is concatenated with the previous list of open tasks. Not unlike the method you were attempting in your original post. At this point we note that the number of rows in all of your project tables must be at least equal to the maximum number of tasks of all projects. The number of rows in your summary table must be 1 greater. The sample allows a maximum of ten tasks and the last cell of a column will always show all of the open tasks for that project.
    In the first row (row 2) of the "Open Tasks Summary" table enter the formula: ="" (This is to seed the subsequent formulas below)
    The rest of the formulas follow the form: =IF(Title 1 :: $B2="Open",A2&" "&Title 1 :: $A2,A1)
    Copy these across first and change the title names. Then they can be copied down.
    Finally, match the last column cell to the proper title in your master summary under "Status" by using: =Open Tasks Summary :: A12

  • How to set the text for commandNavigationItem in nodeStamp facet of train?

    When I use the af:train w/o ndeStamp facet, the train displays proeprly with text next to each nod, e.g.,
    <af:train id="train" var="node" value="#{controllerContext.currentViewPort.taskFlowContext.trainModel}" layout="vertical"/>
    but when I use a nodeStamp, then my text dissappears. e.g.,

  • How to set the  text size on Photoshop elements 8

    Am new at this!
    Where are the settings for elements 8 ?   I have to enlarge my type to read.  the titles and instructions on the  photoshop elements are much too small.
    I tried what I do with my compu......ctrl +......that doesn't work.  It probably is a simple thing but I can't find it.
    Please, I need help.
    thanks,
    granib

    In general it’s not possible to change the UI display. But you could try the Windows settings.
    Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.
    Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.
    Unfortunately you may need to keep changeing back and forth. It's not perfect.

  • Newbie iPhone: How do I programatically set the text of a UIBarButtonItem?

    Hello,
    This is probably really more of a question on IBOutlets but here goes. I want to have an updateable label on my Toolbar. A label doesn't seem to "stick" on the toolbar so I figured I would drop a UIBarButtonItem on it and then just update the Title property of it to change the text as I needed. Problem is I can't figure out how to get a reference to the UIBarButtonItem in my code.
    With a pure label control, I can drag from the File's Owner to the label in my view to make it an outlet for my ViewController and then access the text property of the label in code. With the UIBarButtonItem, I can't make it an outlet. I know the button is more of an action thing but I don't need to respond to taps, I just want to change the text.
    Thanks for any help,
    Tom

    Tom,
    You should be able to assign the UIBarButtonItem to an outlet as long as:
    1) you have defined an instance variable in FilesOwner of UIBarButtonItem and prefixed it with "IBOutlet".
    2) FilesOwner is set to your custom view controller in the Interface Builder's Inspector panel. If it still thinks it's a standard UIViewController it won't pick up your custom outlets.
    All that being said, I'm not sure you can change the title without using a custom view. The default UIBarButtonItem has an initWithTitle: initializer that may be static (perhaps others know of a way to change it once set). But you can define a custom view for the button. That gives you the ability to add a UILabel and programmatically set the text of the label.
    Cheers,
    George
