Importing text from other older software

Have several text formats ie.in Pagemaker 4.0 and Clarisworks. Can these be imported into pages 08? If so, how!? Thanx

Actually I think it is more correct to say that the Claris tent folded and FileMaker Pro was the only product that survived. The developers of CW/AW left quite a while before Apple brought the program under its direct control. Most of the team left while AW 5 was in development and the OpenDoc members of the team were poached by Microsoft. Apple had little choice but put a new team of developers in charge for version 6. The principals were long gone.
I think Apple knew full well the power of AppleWorks but the time had come to put it to sleep. When you look at the progression of CW from version 1 to version 4 you see a maturing program and codebase. CW 5 was a damaged product, damaged by the intrusion of OpenDoc into its DNA only to have it ripped back out. It was the weakest of all the upgrades. AW 6 was intended to be the showcase for Carbon, a program able to run in both OS 9 and OS X. But by this time it was showing its age and who knows what damage still remained from the OpenDoc debacle. Worse, with increasing memory and larger hard drives (and dropping prices besides) the need for an all in one program were fading.
I suspect Apple execs looked at the disappointing sales of AW 6 and the projected cost of upgrading AW 7 and killed it. There were rumors that early work on AW 7 started but I've never been able to find anyone who was able (or willing) to confirm it. Personally, I think the decision to kill the program was made even before the Windows port was finished.

Importing Keywords from other DAM Software (Cumulus)

Hi,
A client is currently switching from analog to digital photography. She is a professional garden photographer. The switch to digital photography comes along with establishing a raw processing workflow and therefore she is impressed with Lightroom's integration of DAM and raw processing.
Before she was filing her large portfolio of color slides, inside a Cumulus image database, using small scans of her slides for orientation in the database and creating contact sheets for her clients. In the Cumulus database she has established a large hierachical keyword vocabulary, containing flower and plant species, their genus, family, order, class, phylum etc., you probably know what I mean. Some of the keywords have associated synonyms.
The new Lightroom catalog will only contain the new digital images, so that the old images from the Cumulus database will not be migrated into the new Lightroom catalog. Of course the client wants to import the Cumulus keyword hierarchy into the Lightroom catlog.
I have the following questions now:
1.) Is there a *practical* (I do not mean technical) limit to the amount of keywords Lightroom can handle (speed)?
2.) How can we import a keyword vocabulary from an external program into Lightroom? Is there any base format, such as CSV, which we could use? The Cumulus version the client uses does not support XMP, and since XMP only relates to a particular image, that would not help anyway. Where is the keyword vocabulary stored? Has somebody experience with such a migration issue?
3.) I have notice that Lightroom supports synonyms to keywords. However, I have not found any way to use them. My impression was that they were not regarded in keyword or text-based searches. Maybe I overlooked something.
So, I hope anybody has some ideas.
Kind regards

Hi
I try to give you few brief answers.
1) I have almost 1000 keywords (including synonyms) and I don't have problems. But at least some previous versions of Lightroom were unusable with controlled vocabularity keyword set which contains something like 11000 keywords. I haven't recently heard any comments about large quantity of keywords. So someone with more experience should comment on that.
2) You can import keyword hierarchy to Lightroom from text file. File should have keywords in tab intented hierarchy, with one keyword in line. If I recollect correctly the file should be in UTF-8 character set (this is important if you have some non ascii characters in keywords). Synonyms are marked with {} and keywords that are not exported with [].
3) Synonyms are written as keywords when images are exported. As far as I know current search tool does not support synonyms (yes, this is weird).
Hope this helps at least a bit.

Having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software

Hi there,
I am having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software to IOS7. Also I am unable to get i messenger to work, it keeps saying waiting for authorization. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues and what I can do to fix it.
Thanks,

She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine. Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

I made my own apple id because my family was getting my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dads find my iphone app on his icloud but can't figure out how, without having to log in to his apple id on my phone. how do i add my device?

I made my own Apple ID because when I was logged into my dad's my family was receiving my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dad's "find my iphone" app but without signing into his Apple ID on my phone because that was causing them to get my texts. I was told by Apple I could add my device to his by signing into icloud.com but there is no option that I can find to add my device. And I don't want to log back in to his.. Any ideas???

Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

How can I import text from Word including paragraph indents?

I'm using Captivate 7.
I need to import text from a series of documents written in Microsoft Word.
When I copy and paste most of the formatting is retained. Bold, italics and underline import perfectly but I lose the indented paragraphs. They all become left aligned.
Is there a way to import the indented first lines in the paragraphs?
Thanks in advance.

Lilybiri, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Life sometimes interferes with living.
Thanks for sharing your opinions. Your deep and penetrating insights have changed my life forever. As in: "...that people expect ..." Gee; I've pondered that for years. Now that you've opened my eyes to "what people expect" I can let that go and concentrate on something else. Like, is cheese REALLY binding?
With your helpful and concerned attitude I'm sure you'll be glad to know that my problem has been solved. Not by anything from Adobe; the company or the forum, but by simply finding another program that works as it should.
By the way, I marked my own answer correct as it was clear that there is no answer and I just wanted to close the thread. Actually, after I reread what I said, I realized my answer IS correct. So, I'll stand by it.
Thanks again, it's been interesting.
So long Lilybiri, and good-bye Adobe Captivate.

Import Text From Form Field into Subject Line of Email

Hello,
Is there a way to import text from a form field into the subject line of the email when sending back (attaching) the PDF form? In other words, there is an "applicant name" and I would like that name to be the subject line of the email.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.7)
If any one has aby guidance or resources online where I can locate this information I would greatly appreciate it! I have been searching all day but have not found a solution yet.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for the help. For some reason I cannot get it to work though. Now, when I hit the submit button it does not do anything.
Previously, I had the following code under
ACTIONS>Mouse Up>Submit a Form
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Employee Application
I removed the above mailto URL and put in your code as a Javascript function. I made sure that my field name matched the name in quotes within the code.
I used the following:
var subject = getField("lastname").value
this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: subject,
cMsg: "Type message here"
Do you see anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
Many thanks!

Importing text from word into indesign3

I am importing text from a word document that has lots of footnotes in it into an indesign3 file - I need to keep some of the formatting from the word document i.e italics and tabs however I need to be able to edit and reposition the 'word' footnotes within indesign - I don't seem to be able to do this without turning off the footnotes editing completely before importing? Is there a way around this?

Word is wordprocessor. iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
Copy/pasting formatted text always has unexpected results.
To overcome that, save your Word document as a html file.
Open it in a browser and then copy/paste the text.
iWeb will retain the formatting.
And Lion is an operating system. Just like a Mercedes is a car. Neither has anything to do with your problem.

HOW CAN I IMPORT TEXT FROM MICROSOFT WORD TO THE WEB PAGE?

Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page. Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page. Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean?

What does "Easily import photos from other applications" really mean in the Lightroom 4 features list? I also see it stated as "...from other software" as well. Yes, I understand the LR can import from Elements libraries but can't find any reference to other applications anywhere, not in the online help, not in the user guide, not in any videos on Adobe TV. It would be nice if LR could see into iPhoto or Aperture libraries but that doesn't appear to be the case. Is that assumption correct? What other applications can LR import from?

Hello bbb34vball,
Since that article didn't help, I would suggest trying the steps in this article next:
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer - Apple Support
If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

Selecting and importing text from Word

Hi..
I am interested in importing text from Microsoft Word into labview.
The text will be identified by a particular 'style'. I have seen examples of reading text marked by 'bookmarks' however this doesn't appear to be sufficient or flexible enough for this application.
I have tried adapting the 'bookmark' code (using different property/invoke nodes) but can't seem to find something that works in a similar way.
Just wondering if anyone has already tried something similar.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
(Labview 8.2.1 + Report Generation Toolkits)

Hi Mark,
The plan was to be able to sift through text in a Word document for blocks of text that match a particular 'style' (determined by us) and import the text into Labview to populate VI descriptions/free labels etc.
I have adapted some code I have found to be able to cycle through table rows/columns and be able to match text/string patterns, however matching the 'style' property should make this operation a little cleaner or perhaps give us more control over what strings are matched.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good. Has something changed? Thanks!

If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader.

Importing Text From A .txt File

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a way to import text from a .txt file but I'm totally lost. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome

Hi Prails
This script is basically what you asked:
#target illustrator
#targetengine main
function copyText(){
    var textFile = File.openDialog ("Select the file");
    if (! textFile.exists || app.documents.length==0){
        return;
    textFile.open("r");
    var txtContent = textFile.read();
    textFile.close();
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    var textItem = doc.textFrames.add();
    textItem.contents = txtContent
copyText ();
Basically what you need to do is declare the text file, open it, read the content and close it. Then, you create a new text item in the Illustrator document and write the content once catched into the text item.
You could continue to work with the variable "textItem" in my example script if you want to set properties like the size, color of the text, position and so on. Also, if you want, replace the first line of the function var textFile = new File ("~/Desktop/Test.txt"); by var textFile = File.openDialog ("Select the file"); so the scripts opens a dialog to ask you the file you want the copy the content.
Hope to be helped
Best Regards
Gustavo

Why doen't iphone receive texts from other iphones.

I have recently bought iphone 5C for the first time, I have had an ipad for a long time which I use for imessages through wifi.   I thought that when I am out and about away from wifi I would receive sms/text from other iphones like I had with my previous basic mobile, but this doesn't happen, although I can send texts to other iphones. Also when I return to a wifi area imessage that have been picked up by my ipad then don't appear on my iphone. When both the iphone and ipad are using wifi when an imesssage is received the message appears on both devices. Is this usual as I would like to receive texts from other iphones as it could be important.

Is iMessage turned on your phone?    It doesn't sound like it.
I would disable iMessage on BOTH your iPad and iPhone.   Enable it on iPhone first, then iPad 2nd.
Try again and let us know if it's working properly.

How do I stop the texts from other iPhone users trying to reach the person who has my old phone number?

I no longer have cell phone service but I still use my iphone every day for apps and imessage. Now someone has my old phone number. It seems that this person does not have a iphone. Everytime one of their friends with an iphone tries to text them the message goes to my iphone. I have tried many things to stop this. I took my old phone number off my apple account and I took out my old sim card. But I still am getting texts from other iphones attempting to reach whom ever has my old phone number. HELP please. This person is very popular, at first it was funny now its annoying. I'm sure the person with my old number is even more upset than I since they are actully paying for service.

Hello there, lalaysa.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for unlinking your old phone number from your device:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
