I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

While not in edit mode:
- if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
- if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

  • Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

    Hi All
    Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
    Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
    Cheers

  • IPhone 3GS with OS4 upgrade - using Apple's Bluetooth Keyboard

    Help!
    I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to OS 4. I also bought an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.
    It's awesome except for one thing. After I type a text message and go to send it, I push the "Send/Enter" button and it just goes to the next line, it won't actually send the message. I realize the keyboard came out way before OS 4, but surely there must be a button you can use to actually send the message without having to go back to the phone each time.
    Does anyone know what button on the Bluetooth keyboard you use to "send" the text or do I have to just tap "send" on the actual phone?
    Thanks! [email protected]

    I am coming across the same issue! help anyone?

  • Easy way to switch between Headphones and Surround in

    I'm looking for some sort of utility that can make it easier to switch between headphones and surround speaker setu
    ps.
    As it is right now, I use my headphones for FPS gaming and such but when I listen to music, etc., I want to then have XP go back to settings for 5. surround. I keep both my headset and speakers hooked up and just power off the speakers when I used my headphones.
    Is anyone aware of a utility that can automate this?
    At the worst perhaps just a tray icon that I can quickly select the desired setup but better would be a utility that watches the current apps and lets me tell it what the right settings are for each and change it on the fly.Message Edited by Agrajag on 0-08-200804:57 PM

    i don't know of any way to automate this process.... i have speakers and a surround sound system, but my computer is usually set to the surround sound setting. i just leave it like that when i use my headphones. the headphones work alright when the surround sound setting is on, as far as i can tell. hope this helps

  • How do I jump between spreads using apple's wireless keyboard?

    When in InDesign CS4 for Mac, I often jump to the next spread. First, I center the spread on my screen using Command+Option+0. Then, I use Option+Page up or Page down, and this takes me to the next or previous spread, and it keeps the spread exactly centered. I am going to switch to apple's wireless keyboard, which does not have a page up or page down. Will I still be able to navigate the same way using the arrow keys or another keyboard combination?

    You don't have to edit keyboard shortcuts.
    Press Fn + Option + up arrow and Fn + Option + down arrow to page to next or previous spread. "Fn" is the function key at the lower left corner of your keyboard.
    I also turn on the function "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard. This allows you to get access to function keys when necessary.

  • Switching between OS 10 and Windows 8 using VMware

    Using an earlier version of Mac OS, I always used a Spaces window to load VMware Fusion. I could easily switch between OS and Windows by pressing the command and arrow keys. With Spaces no longer available, is it possible to switch between OS and Windows using only the keyboard? Thanks.

    What version of the OS are you running. If 10.7 or later, Spaces have been replaced by Desktops, which can be added just like Spaces.

  • Using the text and not the value of a filed

    Hi there,
    I'm programming a pdf form using life cycle, I'm using the following script in a "SEND TO" button in order to email an XML file with the data extracted from the form:
    var emailAddress = F.P1.Line.rawValue;
    var veicle = F.P1.Vehicle.rawValue;
    var shipper = F.P1.Shipper.rawValue;
    var date = F.P1.Date.rawValue;
    event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+emailAddress+"?subject=Booking request from "+shipper+" date:"+date+" &body=Dear Sirs,Please find attached the completed PDF booking form for the following "+veicle+".",cSubmitAs:"XML",cCharset:"utf-8"});
    The problem is that I would like to use in a variable the text and not the value of the F.P1.Line.raw field.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    This is not the appropriate forum to post this type of question. Please post all designer related queries in LiveCYcle Designer Forum to receive better response.
    From you query I understand you have a dropdown box with name as "Line". And you want to the "text" part of the selected item and not the "value" part. If it is so then do the following -
    1. Write the below code in onCHange event of your dropdown box.
    var ddValue = this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
    var nodeList = this.resolveNode("#items").nodes;
    var ddText = null;
    for (var i = 0; i < nodeList.length; i++)
    if (this.boundItem(nodeList.item(i).value) == ddValue)
    ddText = nodeList.item(i).value;
    break;
    global.selectedtxt = ddText;
    In the above code I am basically getting the "text" part of the item selected and then I am storing it in a global variable.
    2.
    Write the below code on click event of your button -
    var emailAddress = global.selectedtxt;
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Shivajiv.

  • Is it possible to extract the text and images using PHP

    Hi friends,
    Is it possible to extract the text and images using PHP, in the same order as it is in the PDF?
    Else is it possible extract the same as XML using PHP, or ASP
    I googled it but its in vain, any help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Mike,
    Thanks for your quick reply,
    I mean is it possible to parse the PDF line by line using the PHP.
    I extracted the whole text but couldn't the images. Since the PDF's images are decoded using various methods like DCTDecode, JPXDecode, etc.
    The text is decoded with FlateDecode, which i breaked using a function in PHP.
    Thanks,

    G'day,
    I need some help, i am trying to type into an adobe document using the typewriter function.
    However every time after i type the text vanishes. It is almost as if the text is white and vanishes into the background.
    This is not the case as the works are not visible regardless of the background color.
    The text box remains available and can be edited if clicked on, also if i double click on it the typed words become visible and editable, however once i close the box i cannot see them on the screen.
    I would appreciate any help i can get, i cant seem to do anything using properties or view.
    Thanks

  • My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs. it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this?

    My Macbook pro won't open downloaded programs, it just opens the code it was written in using the text and edit app. How can I fix this? I just bought the computer last month so this is some what frustrating.

    If you are downloading .exe files, those are Windows programs, and will not run on your Mac unless you install Windows on it.  (That is possible, if you need one of those apps.)

    the text and phone ringtones come on while I'm talking on my IPhone4.  What do I need to change to not hear the actual tone?

    Engage the mute switch while you're on the call. It's the little slider switch over the volume buttons on the side of the phone.

  • How cna I change the text and background colours in iTunes?

    Can anyone tell me how I can change the text and background colours in iTunes? I am a visually impared user and my main requirement on a PC is to change the colour schemem to white text on a black background. Most software adopts the settings of your colour scheme but iTunes goes it's own and has everything on white backgrounds. I cannot read from white backgrounds (dazzle - that sort of thing). I have never used iTunes for this reason. I have always been a devotee of by far the best media player out there Musicmatch Jukebox, who allow you to edit skins in every detail. However, recently Musicmatch was taken over and users were forced to migrate to the ridiculously poor Yahoo Music Jukebox. A massive downgrade in so many ways.
    I want to use iTunes but will not be able to if I cannot sort this issue out. I downloaded 7.5 before discovering that if you want to use Multi Plugin for skins you need to go back to iTunes 7.02. I've done that, but the skins available are completely pointless to my eyes. They don't change the colours of the main components, just the graphical bit at the top.
    What I need to do is change the background of the main browser windows so that they are black and the text is white (you know the track lists and tree views, etc). This must be a very simple case of just changing the codes somewhere, but I can't find where. I read somewhere that you need to hack into something call ResourceDB inside a file called iTunes.jar. There is no such file on my PC. Could that be a Mac thing?
    Please help someone if you can. I would like to become an iTunes user. There seems to be more music available than on Napster which I currently use.
    Thanks in advance

    In my opinion, it seems that Apple has decided to sacrifice usability so that iTunes would look more like a Mac application. You are probably already aware that using Windows' built-in high-contrast settings do not work in iTunes.
    I did some hacking at the resource file a while back, but I was unable to figure out how to change the color of the background. IIRC there was a resource whose description indicated it would change the background color, but when I changed the resource, nothing happened.
    I was, however, able to figure out how to make the "large" font much larger (any size you want, I suppose). Will that help? See

    You should provide feedback to Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I don't think it is too harsh to call it "shameful" that Apple has chosen this design path. Where I work, we are required to make ALL applications (or any computer interface, such as a website) section 508 compliant. Of course, I'm being a bit of a hypocrite, because I've made no effort to make my website compliant. If you have trouble reading it, please let me know.
