Importing text
big problem.
my imovie didnt allow me to import text. I try to drag my text in the tool bar or in the timeline and it wont let me do it. please anyone can help me resolve this?
thanks all
You need an image editor to make a 640X480 sized file. Other dimensions for wide screen.
I use GraphicConverter (since 1997).
Set your background color (black is probably best) and the the foreground color (avoid high contrast colors) for your text.
Set your font and size in GraphicConverter by double clicking on the text tool to edit settings.
Make your text box and drag it to the width and height allowing for TV Safe area if the file will be sent to iDVD. You don't want your text cut off when viewed on a TV.
You can then copy/paste chunks of text from any text file and they will insert in your new graphic. Save these new files as .jpg and drag or import into iMovie.

Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit...
Problems with importing text messages from PC Suit 7.1.18.0 to my Nokia 5800
I am trying to import a csv file that contains text messages (Note that this file was created using PC Suit 7.1.18.0) to a subfolder that I have created to My Folders but PC Suits only imports the text messages to the Draft folder. Note that initially it shows that the messages are import in the correct folder but after a refresh it shows them in the Draft Folder. Is their any setting that I should change in the PC Suit or the phone? My computer runs on Windows XP Service Pack 3 and the Nokia 5800 was upgraded to the latest firmware v20.0.012
Thanks for your helpMost phones only allows importing of draft and archived box for SMS.
To do a restoring, you need to backup the SMS as a .nbu file using PC Suite and restore later.
If you got an SD card, you can also do a backup on the SD Card (backup.arc) then restore later (reset and restore: backup.arc and mmc).

Importing text file into search and redact window.
I am in the search window under the search and redact tool. I
am trying to import a file that was originally an excel to populate the
search multiple words window. I read that text files can be imported. I saved the file as a text file but it does not import. I can import an adobe file but this gives me a list with a bunch of junk. What am I missing?The dialog imports text files.
Make sure that the file you are importing is a text file and has one word in every line. -
Importing text file (with file names) into Automator.. is it possible?
Hello all,
I have been working with Windows Batch files for my line of work. I have a couple of file names in a text file (a column), which I want to copy from one folder of one hdd to another folder on a different hdd. I have been trying to do this kind of work with a Mac. I already know how you copy and rename files in automator (which isn't difficult, of course) but you have to 'select' the files in the finder first (with get specified items).
But the only way i see that you can specify items is by selecting them... is there a way to import a text file with all the file names instead of selecting all the file names manually?
or is there an AppleScript alternative which I can use to import the text file (or just copy into applescript) and run before the query's of copying and renaming the files? I am kind of new to Apple programming.
The text file looks like this:
image1.jpg
image2.jpg
etc..
so there has to be a command to: 'goto' a specific folder as well.
Thanks in advance!You can import text files, but if they are just names you will need an additional action to add the source folder path. A *Run AppleScript* action can be used, for example:
Tested workflow:
1) *Ask for Finder Items* {Type: files } -- choose the text file containing the names
2) *Combine Text Files* -- this gets the text file contents
3) *Filter Paragraphs* { return paragraphs that are not empty } -- skip blank lines
4) *Run AppleScript* -- copy and paste the following script:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 680; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters} -- add folder path
add the specified folder path to a list of file names
input: a list of text items (the file names)
output: a list of file paths (aliases)
set output to {}
set SkippedItems to {} -- this will be a list of skipped items (errors)
set SourceFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the folder containing the file names") as text -- this is the folder containing the names
repeat with AnItem in the input -- step through each name in the input
try
set AnItem to SourceFolder & AnItem -- add the prefix
set the end of the output to (AnItem as alias) -- test
on error number ErrorNumber -- oops
set ErrorNumber to (" (" & ErrorNumber as text) & ")" -- add the specific error number
set the end of SkippedItems to (AnItem as text) & ErrorNumber
end try
end repeat
ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
return the output -- pass the result(s) to the next action
end run
to ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
show an alert dialog for any items skipped, with the option to cancel the workflow
parameters - SkippedItems [list]: the items skipped
returns nothing
if SkippedItems is not {} then
set {AlertText, TheCount} to {"Error with AppleScript action", count SkippedItems}
if TheCount is greater than 1 then
set theMessage to (TheCount as text) & space & " items were skipped:"
else
set theMessage to "1 " & " item was skipped:"
end if
set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, return}
set {SkippedItems, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {SkippedItems as text, TempTID}
if button returned of (display alert AlertText message (theMessage & return & SkippedItems) ¬
alternate button "Cancel" default button "OK") is "Cancel" then error number -128
end if
return
end ShowSkippedAlert
</pre>

I doubt it will do graphics and layout, but maybe, depending on your version of Indesign you may hit lucky (but probably not).

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! -

InDesign erroneously applies character style to imported text
For a year, I had been importing text into InDesign with little trouble until this problem starting happening and I can't figure out why.
Let's say I have a CS3 file with defined character and paragraph styles.
If I draw an empty text box, InDesign shows the character style "superscript" and paragraph style "ext_all" are applied. I can select "Break Link to Style," but if I import text into that box, the "superscript" character style is applied.
The following happens whether I create a text box first or not:
If I import a styled Word file, all the text comes in styled "superscript" until it reaches a Word character style.
If I import an InDesign Tagged Text file, all the text comes in styled "superscript" until it reaches a character tag.
If I import a very simple one sentence rtf file, all the text is styled "superscript."
Anyone run into this? I've tried googling, but can't find a discussion about it. Thanks in advance!Perhaps you've inadvertently set those styles as the defaults? That would happen if you click on them with nothing selected. For the current document switch to the text tool and make sure there is no cursor active or text frame selected, then check to see that the character style is set to [None] and the paragraph style to what you would like to be your default. Also check the settings in the character and paragraph panels.
To make sure this doesn't carry forward into any more new documents, if indeed that was the problem, close all documents and repeat the above steps. With no documents open your selections will become the defaults for all new work until changed.

Lightroom 4, Book Module, Importing text
I want to create a poetry and photo book in Lightroom 4 and send to Blurb. How do I import text not as a caption but as a whole page? Thanks. Tim
You'll need to choose a page type that allows for text. This can be done via teh drop-down menu in bottom right corner of content are or via the Page panel (see screens hot below), then copy paste text into text space as John has suggested. Note that there are numerous page types, some text with image, others text or image only.

I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data
Yes, you can do all of that via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data, if you have Acrobat.
If you only have the free Reader then you can still do it, but it requires a script. -
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.

any way to import text to put in a title?

Hi guys,
I pretend to work nice and tidy with text. I decided to work with Paragraph Styles as much as i can. I will use
Font: Mercury Text
Size: 10,5 pt
Leading: 13 leading
Font Style: Regular
However, the word file has not a consistent Style Formatting and include various Italics and Bold fonts inside. If i import the text i can select all and then apply Mercury Text which will allow me to keep my Italics and Bold characters. I cannot make a Parragraph style without assigning a Regular/Italic or Bold style within. Any Parragraph Style will override my imported italics bolds and so on.
Maybe there is a easier solution to this. Any ideas?
Thanks,
SebsDepending on what version - CS2, CS3, CS4 use Preservelocalformatting.jsx http://www.indesignsecrets.com/downloads/PreserveLocalFormatting.jsx

In regards to the first link - copy the text to Notepad or TextWrangler (not word or other processor) and save it as a .jsx file
When you import text to InDesign, imeddiately run the script on the text. It will apply character styles to the text. Then you just have to apply your paragraph style.
