Inserting text in iphoto

As a windows switcher, I'm just starting to use the ilife suite. I made a slideshow using iphoto and inserted text. The problem is that the text is in a very small font and in the upper left hand corner of the slide. I can't figure out how to move the text to the bottom of the screen, increase the size and change the color to yellow. Is this possible in iphoto? Other than this, I am thrilled to have a new apple computer.

Don,
If you had an album that you made into a slideshow, find the album in the photo media browser in iMovie and drag the photos into the timeline.
Now highlight each image and click on the title tab. Find the right title that is static and places the title where you want. I am not sure if there are any included titles that fit your need, but there are plenty of plugins that will have the title the way you want.
The only problem is, iPhoto titles are not autofilled in the title field so you will have to input the text. It will take longer I know.
After you add the titles, then you can add the Ken Burns, then transitions.
You will really have to experiment to get it the way you want.
good luck!

How can I insert text on an image via IPhoto?

I am still learning about my IMac and primary use for it was mainly for my photo images. At the moment attempting to build a new website via IWeb and as part of the site will be numerous images. However, when making up the albums, I wanted to have text on my images but alas on the face of it I cannot see how this is possible as part of the existing IPhoto software - could any member advise how it can be done?
My alternative at the moment is to use Adobe Photoshop on my Windows based Laptop, insert text on the image, save and then upload to my IMac into my Album - mmmm a bit long winded to say the least! Regardless, thanks in advance.

You can learn to do this with the Preview app already on your Mac.
Open Preview. Make sure that the Annotate button appears in the Toolbar. If the button is not already there, select Customize Toolbar from Preview's View menu. Drag the Annotate button (the pencil) to your your preferred location on the Toolbar.
Open a photo in Preview, press the Annotate button and use the Annotate tools to add your text. You will find instructions on annotating files and documents in Preview Help in the Help menu.

Script to find a specific section in file & insert text below - how?

I am dealing with kind of a problem here - I am using pekwm as my window manager and I use menumaker to automatically update the menu on every startup. My problem is that the original pekwm, the first two sections called 'terminal' and 'Run' and the last two sections called 'Go To' and 'pekwm' are overwritten/modified by mmaker so that there's only the applications submenues and 'pekwm' with the 'Themes' section erased and I want to somehow preserve all that. I was thinking of creating a bash script that does the mmaker thing and then use 'sed' or 'echo' to insert the code back into the appropiate areas of ~/.pekwm/menu.
All I really need to know is how to find a particular string of code in the menu file and insert a block of text below that line using sed or echo.
Any ideas?

Looks interesting. But I'd like to keep it as simple as possible and avoid the part with the extra textfiles and just insert the code text straight into the menu file, kind of like this:
mmaker --no-desktop -vf pekwm
sed {
find-and-goto-line-below-'root menu'-declaration, insert-text {
entry for 'terminal'
entry for 'run"
~/.pekwm/menu
sed {
find-line-below-'pekwm'-submenu-declaration, insert-text {
entry for 'themes'
~/.pekwm/menu
Obviously it's not real code but it's just to outline how I'd like to have it. Just need to know the correct syntax to make it work. I don't care much for 'Go To' and the rest.

I am having difficulty including text with iPhotos I want to share through email. I get a red exclamation mark along with a statement stating that the text doesn't fit into the designated text area. This is so frustrating.

This is so frustrating. Before iLire11 I was easily able to share photos with email messages. Arghhhh!

In the iPhoto preferences you can set Apple Mail as your e-mail client and then it will work exactly as before

How to insert text in the text-id using BDC

Hi Friends,
I m using the BAPI to upload the data for a transaction .
In that transaction there are some text id's are created to insert text like 'Container number'.
I want to insert the text in that text id . But it not a field. Text ids are having object no and table and number .
Is there any function like 'READ_TEXT' which we use to retrieve the text form text ids to write text in text ids ?
So that I can use that function to insert the text in the text ids.
Thanxs.

Hi Umesh,
READ_TEXT is used to Read the text , but SAVE_TEXT is used to save the text. but for reading or saving you need correct iD's and text objects.

how to insert text in existing file.?????You can't "insert" text into an existing file. You can
overwrite portions of an existing file or extend one by

Inserting text into a field at the current cursor position

Does anyone know how to insert text into a field at the current cursor position? I would like it to work similar to the Syntax Palette in Forms. I cannot figure out how to retrieve the current cursor position in order to manipulate the text.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Hi,
If the button and the textfield are on in the same subform then this code should work in the click event of the button
(This is JavaScript code so make sure the code is set to JavaScript and Client on the drop downs in the script window)
(assuming the name of the textfield is TextField1)
TextField1.rawValue = "some value";
If they are in different subforms then you have 2 options
Please note in both these options it is easier if the subforms have names ( I am assuming this to keep samples simple)
option 1 -
use the parent object to move up the tree till you are at the same level as that of the subform that contains the textfield
e.g.
(Click Event of the button)
this.parent.subformname.TextField1.rawValue = "some value";
option 2 -
Use the resolve node to make your way down from the top level of the form
xfa.resolveNode ("form1.subformname.TextField1").rawValue = "some value";
Hope this helps
Malcolm
p.s. I am making assumptions as the image/file you attached did not appear for me.

Inserting text into a Pages document with Applescript

I want to create a Pages document from a custom template but be able to insert text at various points in the document (inputted data under headings etc). I would like to use Applescript but cannot get insertion points to work, is this possible? As usual, all help gratefully accepted.

I have made a Pages template that contains tables and I want to enter text into sections of these tables
That's a completely different story! But that's still possible using GUI Scripting. Here's an example:
tell application "Pages"
    activate
    select table 1 of body text of front document
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
        set theWindow to window 1 whose role description is "standard window"
        click button "Table" of tool bar 1 of theWindow
        keystroke "Cell A1"
        keystroke tab
        keystroke "Cell B1"
        key code 125 -- down arrow
        keystroke "Cell B2"
        -- and so on
    end tell
    select insertion point after table 1 of body text of front document
end tell

Inserting Text into a web page

I need to know how to insert text into a webpage, like google, search, and then get the result.
Using the wonders of the internet I have been able to display a webpage, and see the HTML code that is generated, however, I don't know how to insert text into a web page, or get the result.
Any help, or pointing into the right direction would be appreciated.

What do you mean by insert into web page? Like
prefill data on a form?
Or like a search on google? What are you using to
do this?
I am guessing based on the info you gave in your
question, that you might want to just look at the url
of the page. For example search on google and you
will see the text entered into the search field
inside the url. Learn from that and develop a url
that will search for the text you want to insert.
If I am not understanding you, please clarify.Right now, I'm using the URL to search for me, which will work, but the search can be different from website to website, and I would like something closer to an automated form filler if I need to implement something like this again.
Of course, something like an automated form filler would probably work better, if I were able to retreve the results

Inserting text from a variable in actionscript

what is it called when you insert text from a variable in actionscript?

Your question is not clear. There is no specific name for the process of inserting text from a variable that I am aware of.
If you have a dynamic textfield that you have assigned an instance name to, let's say you named it "tField", then to assign a variable called "aVar" to that textfield you would use:
tField.text = aVar;

Hi Jongware,
This is not correct in C# you have type cast all the object to another Object and then only we can access it in required format
for example
if want to get font in active Document
InDesign.Application myInDesign= (InDesign.Application) COMCreateObject("InDesign.Application");
InDesign myDocument = (InDesign.Document)myInDesign.ActiveDocument;
InDesign.ParagraphStyles pStyles = (InDesign.ParagraphStyle)myDocument.ParagraphStyles
InDesign.ParagraphStyle pSteyls = (InDesign.ParagraphStyle)myDocument.ParagraphStyle
for(int i =0;i<pStyles.Count;i++)
     pStyle = (InDesign.ParagraphStyle)myDocument.ParagraphStyles[i];
public static object COMCreateObject (string sProgID)
    // We get the type using just the ProgID
    Type oType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID (sProgID);
    if (oType != null)
        return Activator.CreateInstance( oType);
    return null;
like above content
for selection content u have to type cast selection object.
InDesign.Selection = (InDesign.Selection).myDocument.Selection;
Console.Writeline(InDesign.Selection.Contents);
but it showing error....
like this you have to type cast all things in C# and you cannot simply get selection contents like app.selection[0].contents
pls help me
Thank you for your reply....

Want to Insert Text at Beginning of a Paragraph Using GREP

I'd like to find the beginning of a paragraph and insert a text (that uses a specific character style) into that paragraph. Below is how I've set up the find/change:
It almost works. The phrase "SECOND ITEM IS FREE!" is inserted at the beginning of the paragraph, which is what I want. But the first letter of the word that was originally at the beginning of the paragraph picks up the character style used on the inserted text. How do I insert the text without changing the character style of the existing text?
Thanks in advance for any ideas on this

[Jongware] wrote:
(Short) Can't be done.
(Long) Well, it can, but not in a single replace. You'd have to first insert the text, then assign the correct character style.
(Slightly longer) You are physically re-inserting that final character, and so it will get that character style assigned. The usual way of finding-but-not-marking is to use a positive lookahead; but that doesn't work, because you would end up with two locations (the caret and the lookahead), and InDesign's particular implementation of GREP does not allow that. (Or rather -- irritatingly -- sometimes it seems to work if you press the Find button, but then a Change All is not going to work.)
So that's why you have to insert at least one character in the Find What, and re-insert it in the Replace With fields.
If all instances of the specific paragraph style need the prefixed text in a specific character style, consider redefining the paragraph style's autonumbering to include text and character style. Redefine the style, and all instances in the current document are changed. All future uses of the style automatically use the prefixed text and style. To update existing instances of the style in other documents with the new definition, use load paragraph styles; to apply the new definition to to other documents in an InDesign book, synchronize the styles. Search Google for terms like "InDesign paragraph styles numbered lists," "InDesign load styles," and "InDesign synchronize styles in book," without quotes for details.

Problem on inserting text from file to a clob column

Hi! I'm having problem in inserting text read from a text file to a clob column in my table.

Hi,
Print the whole stack trace. It will tell you the line which causes the error. How you use clob and blob in oracle is also version dependent. Try to google for
oracle "your version" java clob example.
