Is there a way to auto suggest text using characters entered instead of using a dropdown?

I am working with a list of more than 100 entries for part numbers. Instead of requiring someone to click the down arrow for a list that will scroll off the screen, is there a way for the dropdown list to limit entries shown based on the first few characters
typed?

Is there a way to auto-populate text based on a selection?

I honestly don't even know how to word my question haha... so the title may be misleading...
For my job I need to fill out indesign files, and at one part of the file based on the state a person is from I need to paste a specific e-mail in several places.
Is there a way where maybe I create a dropdown menu of the several state e-mails I can choose from, and upon choosing it auto-populates that choice into the several other places?
I guess, is there a way where if I make a select or input text into one area it will generate in the other areas as well?

Maybe you need some kind of clipboard manager to choose several texts to paste

___Is there a way to auto-update a graphic once it's made into a symbol?

___Is there a way to auto-update a graphic once it’s made into a symbol?
For example - I've made a circle as a symbol, and it's in my document 100 times - is there a way to edit each instance, so it becomes a square?
Also, can I have live text in it that replaces (ie. a circle with 'new' in it changes to a square with 'improved' in it).
Thanks,
Ryan

Yes
create the replacement
drag it over the existing symbol in the symbol pallete while holding ALT key down
(or whatever ALT is equivalent to in MacOS)
all existing symbols will update to new symbol

I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

I would also like this issue addressed.
I am using a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and when it is connected to my iPhone 4, email and text sounds are not audible through the phone. The phone just vibrates when a new text or email is received.
I don't really care if it plays through the headset, but it should at least play through the phone. I tested the headset from a BlackBerry and the alerts play fine.

Is there a way to tighten a text bounding box?

Hey all,
I've looked before but never found a definitive answer to this question:
Is there a way to tighten the text bounding box without converting it to outlines?
I work for a screen printer, and want to figure out a way to tighten the bounding box without changing the leading and without converting it to outlines in order to be able to edit said text. We deal with a lot of clients who send us names, that are often misspelled, and after an initial proof need to be corrected. Sometimes we need to center this text to an object.
Illustrator's bounding box, unlike that of Corel (which is our primary program, and won't open AI files) includes the leading below the type, so when you center it, it's not visually centered:
So I guess my real question is is there a way to get the text centered (as seen below) without converting the text to outlines, or messing with the leading, or is there a way to tighten the bounding box?
Thanks in advance!

Combat and Dandreu,
You may use this silly way:
1) Tick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds;
2) Select the Type and Effect>Path>Outline Object.
That will reduce the Bounding Box to the actual bounds of the letters so you can centre as you wish.
Remember to untick Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds before you get a reverse issue.

I dropped my iphone 4s and the screen is black with some blue lines. IS there a way to view my text messages on the computer?

For instance, DigiDNA's DiskAid will let you extract your messages from the phone in human-readable format. Like .pdf.

TS2755 Is there a way to retrieve deleted text messages on the iphone 4S?

I've read messages aren't truly deleted. Is there a way to get back text messages that were accidentally deleted?

If you have a backup of the phone with the messages on there, you can restore to that backup. Understand however, that anything done on the device since that backup will be lost.

Is there a way to expand the text area of the login/lock screen for the warning message?

I put our company's standard warning message in the Security & Privacy system preference ("Show a message when the screen is locked.") and it overflowed the allotted text area for the warning message text on the login screen and lock screens. It seems that the area allows about 250 character messages and I need to provide about 500 characters. Is there any way to expand the text area allotted for this purpose?

To be a little more specific about the challenge I'm facing, I want to increase the allotted text space for the field I've outlined in the attached image. Seems like there ought to be a NIB file that could be edited to accomplish this task:
I would appreciate any advice on which file should be edited to expand the text field.

Is there a way to make keyboard text shortcuts work better?

For example: omw = On my way!
On iOS these work accross the board, but on OS X they only seem to work on certain applications. Such as TextEdit, but have limited or no use in other applications. They work ok in the URL bar in Safari, but try to use them in a text field (such as the one I'm typing in now) and they don't work. It's especially irritating when I try to log into a website, and I can't use my custom shortcut for my email address. I can easily do this on iOS, but not OS X.
Is there any way I can get text shortcuts to behave better on OS X, or is this a hopeless dream...
If you don't know how to access them, it's:
System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text (OS X)
General -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts (iOS)
It's great that they sync accross both platforms, but it's pointless if I can't use them on properly on OS X.

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files?

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files? I know I can use Option+Comman+i to bring up the Inspector window but it doesn't have a Comments field. For example, in iTunes you can select multiple files and change metadata for any field simultaneously and easily yet when it comes to the Comments field in the Finder, this seems to be missing.
In our production environment, Comments field is important because we place notes about what drive the file originated then when it gets transferred to LTO-6 tape via LTFS, we can quickly trace it in the event we needed to recreate the hard drive. Because tape archiving is linear, we can't store all of the files on the same tape.
We've tried using Apple's Automator but it too seems to not have a way to batch change text in the Comments field. Any help is appreciated.

Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at?

Hi,
Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at? Mouse pointer may be located somewhere out of current record and even out of current block.

There is a when-mouse-over trigger and that works fine in client-server mode for Forms 5/6/6i, but that is less indicated when deployed using Application Server.
In that trigger you may write whatever code is necessary, restricted package procedures.
Still, I think, for your case, if you do not have to deal with a multi-record block, you should use the HINT property for that item and set_item_property with the HINT argument for that item in order to set the hint to the item's value - this should set_item_property should be called on the when-new-record-instance .

I have created a form that contains fields with default text for a user to update/personalize. Is there a way to style the text so I can quickly identify changes to default text in a field?

George - Thanks you so much! Actually, i'd love for the text color to be red font color. Could you send me the script for that? And I assume I just copy and paste the script into the field properties (see screenshot)?
thanks again!
Seth
