I'm sure I'm missing something obvious! Copy and paste cells.

I have a table in numbers, and wish to copy and paste some of the values (C1 to C14591), but when I select the cells I wish to copy and then choose paste in any other application (tried Textedit, Eddie, Nano etc. etc.) nothing appears. The only way I've found to copy and paste the contents of individual cells is to do them one-by-one, which will take a huge amount of time.
I'm sure there's something obvious I've missed but as yet haven't found it!
Please help if you know how to do this.
Thanks.

Hello
The main point is that Numbers was not designed for such a huge table.
It was designed for datas organized in smaller tables.
In a Numbers document, everything is described in an XML file using a really verbose format.
So, the XML file embedded in the Numbers package will be huge.
Just a sample.
I have scanned the internals of a Document containing one Sheet containing one table containing 180 cells
It is made of:
442,432 bytes for the header describing the Sheet and the table.
41,871 bytes describing the contents of the 180 cells (230 bytes per cell).
230,895 bytes whose contents is, at this time terrae incognita (for me)
So I leave you as an exercise the calculations giving a rough value of the size of your future document.
Good luck

  • Adding an application component - missing something obvious

    Hi,
    We just upgraded to portal (running server and portal on windows nt) and I am developing. We have reports already completed in reports 6i. However, I am having trouble adding them to the pages or even in the "other providers" listed in portlet repository. The report is connected, as when I click on "edit" and then "run," it runs. I just don't know what I need to do so that the report shows in the "application component" when I click on "add item."
    I am sure that I am missing something obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Lindsay

    Thanks anyway, I figured it out. :-)

  • Error in XML parsing. Im i missing something obvious.

    I am new to XML and i cant seem to be able to iterate through the xml response.
    Here is the relevant code

                              //create the parser

  • Upsert of xmltype from given xpath - missing something obvious?

    Version: 10.2.0.*2* EE
    I am trying to do an upsert (update/ insert ) of an xmltype for a given xpath.
    The xml data is being passed as an xmltype, the xpath is a string (varchar2), the new value is a string, varchar2.
    If the node specified by the xpath exists this is trivial using updatexml; of course if the node doesn't exist nothing happens. I can check for the nodes existence using exists node, but I'm coming unstuck trying to figure out how to insert the node.
    All the APIS I can find that insert XML (APPENDCHILDXML,INSERTXMLBEFORE, INSERTCHILDXML) do not take an xpath but require an xmltype. Which means if I am reading this right I have no choice but to parse the xpath varchar2 string to try and construct an xmltype (ugh!).
    I can't find any API that just takes an xpath as a varchar2 and a value and gives me an xmltype. Ideally I don't even want that, would just like an API that returns the updated XML which has either had the xpath updated (or inserted if it didn't exist) with the new value.
    I am not an XML expert but I am pretty handy with SQL and PL/SQL. To me this just seems incredibly cumbersome just to do something as trivial as an upsert, so I am hoping I am missing something obvious!
    Can soemone please set me straight with a pointer or example?
    To top it all off the XML uses namespaces, but they aren't registered, there is no schema registration going on.

    Marco Gralike wrote:
    Couldn't it be done via XQuery, although the database version doesn't really help...That would be possible with a dynamic XQuery expression, but "painful" with a static expression as it would require parsing the XPath, and rebuilding the entire input document with the required modifications.
    I think XSLT would be more efficient in this case.
    Maybe, one day, when the database has XQuery Update Facility, we will be able to do this :
    copy $a := $doc/Address
    modify (
      if ($a/zip)
        then replace value of node $a/zip with "12345"
        else insert node element zip {"12345"} into $a
    return $a

    The functionality can be simulated via an IF/THEN/ELSE logic, or a DELETE/INSERT sequence.
    For example :
    case when existsNode(doc, xpath) = 1
      then updateXML(
             doc
           , xpath || '/text()'
           , somevalue
      else appendchildxml(
             doc
           , substr(xpath, 1, instr(xpath, '/', -1)-1)
           , xmlelement(
               evalname(substr(xpath, instr(xpath, '/', -1)+1))
             , somevalue
    endor,
    appendChildXML(
      deleteXML(doc, xpath)
    , substr(xpath, 1, instr(xpath, '/', -1)-1)
    , xmlelement(
        evalname(substr(xpath, instr(xpath, '/', -1)+1))

  • RMIC & Netbeans - am I missing something obvious?

    I finally managed to get rmic to compile something without errors, but I can't find any additional files I thought it would create. I added the following to build.xml in my server application:
    <target name="-post-compile">
    <!-- Empty placeholder for easier customization. -->
    <!-- You can override this target in the ../build.xml file. -->
    <echo message="Running rmic ..."/>
    <rmic base="${build.classes.dir}" includes="**/*Impl.java;${build.classes.dir}"/>
    </target>
    And I see this in the compiler output:
    Running rmic ...
    But nothing. Did I miss something obvious? I'm using Netbeans Beta 6.
    Thanks

    Ok, so I read some more recent tutorials (teaches me for reading an old book!) and I have some success. Except:
    java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is:
    java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling arguments; nested exception is:
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: StudioWorks.security.SecurityResponder

    at sun.rmi.server.UnicastServerRef.dispatch(Unknown Source)
    at sun.rmi.transport.Transport$1.run(Unknown Source)
    Obviously there are two issues;
    1) Can't find the remote object's class
    2) The remove object isn't serializable? Odd, as it extends Remote. I thought that was enough based on what I'm reading
    Maybe it's a simple mistake of not providing the right parameters/classpath to the rmiregistry, which I'm running from the command line and not through Netbeans (don't know how to do that).
    Back to the reading! :)

  • I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?

    I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?

    You know that you lost the layers when you saved it as a jpeg, right? But you're saying you can't add layers to the jpeg now when it's open in the editor? Go to Image>mode and be sure it's RGB, for starters. Are all the commands in the Layer menu grayed out?

  • Missing images and not able to use copy and paste anymore - just blank rect

    Hello!
    I've a problem that really scares me.
    I use severall png and pdf images. But at one point keynote looses the media and just displays these grey rectangles instead of some images. I tried to figure out if it just happens with pdf images and replaced the missing pdf images through png24 images with transparency. It first worked fine (they showed up) and then it tells images can not be saved. If I open the presentation again, the images are missing. And it seems that the more images and slides i put in the presentation, the more images are missing…
    But there is more: I even can't copy and paste these images anymore. If I try to copy one of the images I just have replaced (because they have been lost by saving), it just pastes the blank grey rectangle instead of the image.
    This really is a problem because I now have to repetitive tasks (like same animation for the same image in the same size) over and over again. And when I save the doc – they are al gone again…
    It really scares me and I don't have an idea how to solve this.
    It also happens, if I repleace an pdf image with an png image and than try to copy this new png image. However I am able to drag the image from the Finder again.
    I am working on a PB G4, 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM.
    My Keynote Version is 3.0.2.
    The Keynote Dokument is saved and opened from a G4 X-Serve wich is only used by Macs (so no Windows Filesystem anywhere). I still have anough space on both, my local and the server volume. I don't transfer the Keynote document. So it should not be a problem with the names on the files… And the files are just exported from Adobe Illustrator (png 24 files with "save for web" and the pdf files are saved as Illustrator pdf) – so they should really be fine and not corrupted…
    At this time the Keynote document has a size of 179 MB (because of a video) and only 16 slides. And the theme was built from scratch – so no import from Powerpoint or so…
    I looked through the Keynote preferences and found a thing like (sorry self-translated from german version to english) "scale placed images to slide-size". I wondered if keynote saves a copy of the sacaled image after that and corrupts the image itself? But I don't think so.
    I've had these problems with earlier versions of Keynote, but it occured just sporadically and I could solve it through pasting it again. But this time I can not solfe it anymore.
    Does anybody encounter same problem? Or has a hint?
    I really would appreciate, because I have to finish the presentation very soon and are not able to work properly with that. Furthermore, I am scared of saving and opinging the presentation again, because the lost files can not be replaced…

    I now have a hint:
    As a colleague said, he encountered some problems with usagerights on our fileserver (XServe). He said he wasn't able to read files he put on the server himself again…
    If this is true, the same could have happened to Keynote for placed images, as Keynote writes these images as separate files in the doc package…
    I will try to work on my local volume and see if it solfes the problem.
    But sooner or later I will have to place the whole thing on the server again…
    Do you think this is the reason?

  • How do I copy and paste an image form the internet to Keynote. I have done this successfully in the past by selecting copy and then paste by using the right click function and now am unable to do so. I am thinking it is an outdate OS problem...not sure.

    How do I copy and paste an image from the internet to Keynote. I have done so successfully in the paste by using the copy and paste right click functions but am unable to do so now. That was about a year ago that I attempted that I was able to do this. Thank you for your help.

    Some images are copy-protected.
    If all else fails, you can make a screen shot of the image: 
    With the image visible in your browser, press CMD-Shift-4 and your cursor will change to crosshairs.
    Position the cross hairs at one of the corners of what you want to copy and drag to the opposite corner, then release the mouse. An copy of the image will be saved to your desktop.
    You can now edit and use this image.
    Be sure to respect copyrights.

  • How can I copy and paste something which is written in hindi font in photoshop?

    I want to create an image with some text written on it. The text which is to be written is in Hindi language and I have that text in a ms word file. But I don't know Hindi typing so the only option I have is to copy and paste that text from ms-word file as it is. Now the problem is the same font is working in ms-word file properly but as I soon as I copy it to Photoshop with the same font enabled, it is showing something weird boxes. In short, Hindi font is working for ms-word but same Hindi font is not working for Photoshop particularly in case of copy and paste. Not only one font, I tried many of them but problem is the same for every font. Please help. Proper answer will be greatly appreciated.

    hatstead Thanks a lot for your quick reply, but this is not what I want! Actually when I posted the picture with Hindi font I forgot that you don't know the Hindi language. Actually in the picture I want something which is written on the right hand side to the equal sign ('='). Problem is when I copy it from ms word file or notepad file with same font enabled in the Photoshop, Photoshop automatically converts it to something which is written on the left hand side to equal sign ('='). Believe me I have done everything in last 24 hours to fix this problem but unfortunately none of the solution worked. I also used "Place" option to import the ms word file but again unfortunately Photoshop doesn't allow text files or .doc file format to be placed. So the thing is I want something which is written right hand side but when I copy it to Photoshop, Photoshop automatically converts it into something which is written on the left hand side. I hope you got the crux. Please help!!

    Under ios 5 you can easily copy photos from any existing slbum to a new album.. You just cannot ( or at least i cannot) put them into an existing album.
