Ipad Numbers fill colors

I use Excel on my Macbook Pro and have formated some cells using specific colors. I downloaded numbers on my ipad but the colors I need aren't close enough to what I use on my laptop. Is there another way to add more colors?

Looks like the last part of my message got cut off. Could this be the result of a loose connection or is it a hardware failure in which I will need to have something replaced?

Why do filler colors change when the orientation changes?

Hi, I'm working with a template but don't like the colors of the fill boxes, so I have manually changed them. I've noticed, however, at least when look at a proof that when I change the orientation of the iPad, the filler color reverts to the original. The color change screws with the styles. Anyone else have this problem? Any fixes?

Thanks for your reply. I was fuzting with the "book" again. It was the simplest -- and therefore easiest to modify stylistically -- template, which was supposed to work in both orientations. I created it in landscape. Last night I reallized that when I changed the orientation when working in iBook, if I applied the color change to the boxes [again], the color change stayed when viewed in either orientation.
BUT I also saw that the box placement in the portrait view is "wrong." It covers part of one of the headlines. While I have changed the headline font manually [not via paragraph styles, which I am finding difficult to manipulate], I have not moved the text. It is where the template placed it but simply using a different font.
Thanks for any insight you might have.

Three Numbers questions:how do you change the auto default background or fill color from white to another color to use in multiple succeeding operations? what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percent?

Numbers questioons:
-how do I change the automatic default background fill color so it stays a non white color?
-what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percentage?
-how do I create a signal formula to be sue against an entire column of data (for example, if I wanted to multiply the each cell in the column by the number 10)?
-I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers with header and rows labelled and it contains formulas as well. I now want to create a new 'blank' of this template with same header and row names and formulas, but without the cell entries from my earlier exerciser so I can use again in the future. How do I do this?

Hi Matt,
For short columns, the easiest method is to select the cell containing the formula, then grab the fill handle (small circle at the botom right of the selected cell) and drag down.
For long columns, use either Jerry's suggestion (copy/paste) or Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Copy/Paste:
Select the cell containing the formula. Copy
Select from the cell containing teh formula to the end of the column. Paste.
Fill Down:
After entering the formula, and pressing enter...
Click on the column reference tab to select the whole column.
Command click on each cell above the one containing the formula to remove it from the selection.
When cell with the formula is the top cell in the selection, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Pick whichever is easiest.

Barry

Can I create a style fill color? in Pages on my IPAD

Can I create a style fill color? in Pages on my IPAD.. All the colors I have to pick from at to dark. can someone please tell me if I can create a fill color

You mean you want to create a shorcut to a website on your home screen? If so, go to the site you want to create it for in Safari, tap the share button on the top left (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Add to Home Screen. Taping this icon in the future will launch Safari and take you to this site.
Not sure what you mean by home page for iCloud, but you can't go to icloud.com from your iPad if that's what you want to do. You have to go there from your computer browser.

Fill color color on its own

Hi! I'm having an issue on my Illustrator CC 2014.
When I double click over the Fill color box, on the tool box, to change it, it show a tottaly different color.
e.g I have a green object: 85.10.100.0
I try to edit this color by doubble cliking over the FILL COLOR on the bottom of the tool box.
It opens an editing window with a color picker on the left and SHOULD show the numbers of my object´s color on the right.
Somehow it changes the color, showing a kind of grey color: 0.0.0.60!!! My green shows below that grey color, but is not quite my green, when I click over it the color is altered to: 85.15.99.3
That does'nt make any sense.
Can someone help me?

Hi Martilaso1,
Jacob is correct, since two colors are shown in the color suggestion area, click on the below color box to reach the expected behavior.
Yes, it is bug and product engineering are working on it and hopefully we will get it fixed soon.
Thanks for patience.

Sort rows by fill color?

Is it possible in Numbers to sort rows based on the row fill color? There are only 2 colors the rows have as background (fill), and it would save time to sort based on the highlighted row. Any ideas?
Thank you-

I agree with jerrold.
I will certainly not ask Apple for such a feature.
Here is a script which may give you an efficient response.
property columnOffset : 2
tell application "Numbers"
activate
set {rName, tName, sName, dName} to my getSelection()
if (character 2 of rName) as text > "9" then
set columnLetter to text 1 thru 2 of rName
else
set columnLetter to character 1 of rName
end if
set twoNames to my decoupe(rName, ":")
set {colNum1, rowNum1} to my decipher(item 1 of twoNames)
set columnToSort to colNum1 + columnOffset
tell document dName to tell sheet sName to tell table tName
set myColor to background color of (get properties of range rName)
set nbRows to count rows
repeat with r from 1 to 14 --nbRows
set val to background color of (get properties of range (columnLetter & r & ":" & columnLetter & r))
set val to (val is myColor)
set value of cell r of column columnToSort to val
end repeat
end tell
end tell
--=====
on getSelection()
local mySelectedRanges, sheetRanges, thisRange, _, myRange, myTable, mySheet, myDoc, mySelection
tell application "Numbers"
activate
tell document 1
set mySelectedRanges to selection range of every table of every sheet
repeat with sheetRanges in mySelectedRanges
repeat with thisRange in sheetRanges
if contents of thisRange is not missing value then
try
--return thisRange --poorly formed result
thisRange as text
on error errMsg number errNum
set {_, myRange, _, myTable, _, mySheet, _, myDoc} to my decoupe(errMsg, quote)
--set mySelection to (a reference to (range rn of table tn of sheet sn))
return {myRange, myTable, mySheet, myDoc}
end try
end if -- contents…
end repeat -- thisRange
end repeat -- sheetRanges
end tell -- document 1
end tell -- application
return {missing value, missing value, missing value, missing value}
end getSelection
--=====
on decipher(n)
local letters, colNum, rowNum
set letters to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
if (character 2 of n) as text > "9" then
set colNum to (offset of (character 1 of n) in letters) * 64 + (offset of (character 2 of n) in letters)
set rowNum to (text 3 thru -1 of n) as integer
else
set colNum to offset of (character 1 of n) in letters
set rowNum to (text 2 thru -1 of n) as integer
end if
return {colNum, rowNum}
end decipher
--=====
on decoupe(t, d)
local l
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to d
set l to text items of t
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return l
end decoupe
--=====
Select a cell with the color to use in the sort.
Run the script.
It will fill the column whose offset from the selected one is defined by the property 'columnOffset'
If the background of the cell in the source column is the searched one the value will be 1
if the background is not this one, the value will be 0.
So it will be easy to use a condition.

Can I change the fill color of an entire row based on what's selected in a pop-up menu in the first cell?

I have a pop-up menu in the first cell of every row with three choices (and I may add more at a later date). I want the fill color of the row to change depending on which thing is selected. Is this hard to do?

Hi,
In essence the same as Wayne's answer, but with a slight modification to fit to duplicate your 'color the whole row' specification. The final result, with Table 2 slid behind Table 1, is shown.
Table 2 is a single column table with the same number of rows as Table 1. The table is resized to match the full width of Table 1.
In A2, use the formula =Table 1::A2 to copy the value from that cell in Table 2. Fill the formula down through the rest of the column.
Select all the cells in Table 2 (except the header row), and apply conditional formatting rules such as those below.
Note that the Conditional Format rules are set to apply the same colour to text and fill in the cell, so that the text disappears.
When Table 2 is ready, select it, then go Arrange > Send to Back.
Before sliding Table 2 behind Table 1, Select Table 1 and use the Table Inspector to set the Cell Background to None (see red arrow in illustration). If This table has a Header column, you need to select the header cells independently and again set the Cell Background to None.
Now select Table 2 and drag it to a position partially under Table 1. When you see the blue alignment guides on both sides, or at the top and bottom, of Table 1, release the mouse button and use the arrow keys to nudge Table 2 into its final position.

How can I apply a current fill color to a stroke, then adjust that stroke color's build?

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out a way to automate a simple, yet repetative process I do countless times a day. Ideally, I'd like to tie it to a keystroke to speed up my workflow.
I work on line art and colorways for footwear, so the way I'm coloring these shapes and strokes helps to break apart the different materials and pieces of the shoe.
While coloring line art, I work with Pantone spot colors as fills for closed path objects. I then have to manually apply that same color to the stroke, set the stroke to 0.5px weight, convert that spot stroke color to CMYK, and add 15% to the K value.
I found some code in an older post for applying the actively selected object's fill color to the stroke, but I'm having but I'm having trouble with the next step of figuring out how to take that spot stroke color and convert it to a CMYK build that I can then add 15% black to. Is this something that's even possible? I've spent about an hour playing with the script and have only had luck matching the fill color or turning the stroke white. Thanks for the help!

ok try this one, I added the spot color option
// make stroke color same as fill color + 15% black increase
if ( app.documents.length > 0 && app.activeDocument.pathItems.length > 0) {
 for (var a=0; a<app.selection.length; a++) {
 try {
 var sel = app.selection[a];
 var fillcolor = sel.fillColor;
 if (fillcolor.typename == "CMYKColor")
 var cmkycolor = fillcolor;
 else if (fillcolor.typename == "SpotColor")
 var cmkycolor = fillcolor.spot.color;
 var col = new CMYKColor;
 col.cyan = cmkycolor.cyan;
 col.magenta = cmkycolor.magenta;
 col.yellow = cmkycolor.yellow;
 var black = cmkycolor.black + cmkycolor.black +15;
 col.black = black>100 ? 100 : black;
 sel.strokeColor = col;
 sel.strokeWidth = 0.5;
 catch (e){alert(e)

How to use AppleScript to set "character fill color" in Pages 5.2?

For Pages 5.2 on OSX 10.9.3, what is the correct applescript for changing the "character fill" of text in pages.
If you highlight text, you do this via your mouse in the inspector by clicking "style," "advanced option (the gear wheel to the right of bold, italics, and underline), "character fill color (clicking on the multi-color circle, not the dropdown menu), and then choosing a color that comes up in the "colors" dialogue box.
I've looked all over and cannot find how to use applescript to set the character fill color in pages.
In some examples (not directly related) I see "character fill" used.
In others, I see "colorfill."
Basically, I want to use applescript, embedded in a keyboard maestro macro, to change the background color of the text (not the text color itself) to particular colors.
Given the changes and updates to Pages this year, and to applescript, what's the easy way to do this?
Thanks!
Chuck

Pages v5.2 still does not include selection-object, or character background color entries in its AppleScript dictionary, as does Pages ’09. Indirectly, using System Events, you can get the text selection in Pages v5.2, but then you can do nothing to change the selection. No assurances as to if or when Apple will mature the AppleScript dictionary support for Pages v5 series.

How can I select and delete the fill color (white background) of a live trace (B&W) with in an actio

How can I select and delete the fill color (white background) of a live trace (B&W) with in an action set?
Illustrator CS4 in windows XP.

Maybe Li[ve trace] is not t]he way[ to go
I have some suggestion one leave it as is and use a blending mode of multiply to give it a color background like this
leave it as is make it a grayscale tiff import int Illustrator and color it it in Illustrator like this
Or trace over it with the brush tool aand then give it a color ground.
Or do the original over and do a cleaner job with no tone or a minimum of tone. Then Live trace.

My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?

Hi
My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?
Copying over photos via iTunes/iPhoto - there is a back-up file created (I can not turn it off) and it's now filling my PB-Pro.
So I need to find it and trash it and start over.
- Where is it located ?
- What is it's name ?
Yours Bengt W

Thank You
I found my iPhoto library
ctrl-clicked on it and opened package/content
here I found the iPod photo cashe folder
copyed this to a safe hard disk
then deleting it's content
and my memory/free space on boot drive is back
So I hope all's well.

Changing the button fill color in Captivate 7?

I am pretty sure that when I used Captivate 6 and I created a button, there was an option in the Properties pane to allow me to change the fill color of the button. I am using Captivate 7 now, and I no longer see this option. Under the "General" tab, it allows me to change the button type, caption, make it transparent, or allows me to see button widgets. Did they remove the ability to simply change the fill color of a button?

I'm wondering if this is something that was maybe added in a service release. Either that or you may need to reset your preferences.
Mine has a section titled Fill & Stroke as shown below.
Cheers... Rick

[AS] CS3- Find any text with style, then replace that text with a new applied fill color.

I am trying to find the simplest way in cs3 to find any text with style, then replace that text with a new fill color. I can find text and change text. I can find a style and change it to a new style. I can't seem to find a style and change the applied fill color. I do not want to change the properties of the style, just the applied color. Yes, I want the + sign, for now. I know, why not update the style, I am not allowed to. Any help would be great. Since the search is not available, I need a new response.
Thanks.

You can work around the bug by just doing a find, then looping through the results, changing the color one at a time. It'll be a fraction slower, but should do the trick: tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3" set find text preferences to nothing set properties of find text preferences to {applied paragraph style:"The name"} set theFinds to find text document 1 repeat with i from 1 to count of theFinds set properties of item i of theFinds to {fill color:"Replace color"} end repeat end tell The bug is fixed in CS4, BTW. -- Shane Stanley <[email protected]> AppleScript Pro Florida, April 2009 <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>

How do i add a timestamp in ipad numbers

I cant find any where better to post this so I hope it is ok here if not please feel free to remove to a better section
As the title states really I need to enter a number in D2 and then D3 needs to show the time of the entry in D2.
I assume it goes down the lines of if D2 > 0 and D3 = "" then D3 = Time. But I have never used spread sheets at all, this is my first encounter and the Ipad numbers syntax is pretty confusing for a nuube.
Any advice would be great

@ SG111 Thanks for the reply but I dont think you understand the question my friend, your answer is not relevant to what i was asking at all
@ T quinn
1 it seems ludicrous that it is impossible to simply add a time stamp it seems a very important yet simple task to use a timestamp in a spread sheet so why not have it in numbers?
It seems it is impossible from what i gather yet it seems so easy to do with the logic after all many applications use a very simple time for input criteria.
I see no issue with the logic that if D3 ="" and D2>0 then Time stamp D3. Once D3="NOW" it no longer ="" and should not alter the time when the calcs are made.....
My main issue is actually getting the syntax right in the numbers logic functions
Maybe Numbers simply does not allow it in which case it is a pretty useless piece of software indeed!
Any way thanks for the help
