Is there a way to create date based timelines in iBook Author?

Hi guys,
Is there a way to create nice looking timelines in iBook author? I was going to utlize the interactive image functionality but it would be great if there were other options. Just something simple like dates along the bottom and then pictures above it with maybe some links in the body copy to actual chapters in the book?
Here are some examples I found on the web but not sure if something similar can be done in iBooks (mine would be much simpler):

http://www.timetoast.com/
http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/55/The-Fight-for-Democracy-in-the-Middle -East/#vars!date=2010-12-18_08:00:20!
Maybe we need to create a custom HTML widget? I really have no idea so any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Hi KT, I saw that before but it's more about stiching an image and showing a change over time. I am just looking for date based timeline which shows events... a calendar basically in a timeilne format. Thank you though. I'll keep digging and post any solutions I find here.

    if you use time machine, you should be able to get it back that way. Although IBA saves changes on an ongoing basis, it doesn't create a back up or supplemental copy elsewhere on your drive.

  • Is there a way to create drop caps in iBooks Author?

    Is there a way to create initial drop caps in iBooks Author?

    Great, drop caps work, thanks.
    I wanted to kern them back (I can't help myself) and I found that if I put a space after the box and then kerned the space back, it worked visually. Do you think that will cause issues down the road? It previewed ok.
    Also if I make the boxes too tight, again to make it more typographically pleasing, may I have issues later if people increase or decrease the font size?
    I don't have an iPad yet so I can't check it that way. If something previews, will it run?
    thanks

  • Is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"?

    is there a way to create a collection based on the "previous import"? that would make it easy to mobile sync the last import to my ipad, and do further picking/rejecting while away from my laptop.

    well, yes, of course i could do it that way. i guess i wasn't specific enough. is there a way to create a smart collection, with the photos in the "previous import" as members of the smart collection.  earlier i mentioned about using this smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, to do further flagging.
    so my intention, use a smart collection to mobile sync with my ipad, and the smart collection to include the photos from my previous import.
    i guess another way to ask the question, is there a way to create a smart collection, by using some rule or condition in the smart collection, to automatically include previous import photos.
    the documentation says that "previous import" is a collection, even though it shows up in the catalogue side bar section. but i see no way to choose that collection when making a smart collection.

  • Is there a way to create a button on the front panel that would automatically open the txt file data is being stored to?

    I am saving data read from FieldPoint to a .txt file. Is there a way to create a button on the front panel so that when the user pushes this button it automatically opens the .txt folder in notepad? I want to bypass the user having to find the file in the computer in order to open it.

    Re:the sysexec
    The Sysexec will allow you to execute a dos command. This is the equivalent of going to
    Start>>>Run
    What you should do is find the proper DOS command sysntax that is required to open a text file in notepad or your favorite editor. Once you know what a good DOS command is, you should pass that string to the Sysexec.VI. The Sysexec has an input that allows you to choose if the code waits for the command to complete or if it should just start the program and let it run in the background. Sysexec will open its own window to run the command you speci

  • Is there a way to create a reminder from a date that appears in an email?

    Is there a way to create a reminder from a date that appears in an email that was sent to me? I know that when a date is entered into an email I can create an event on my calendar for it, but is there a way I can have it be a reminder instead?
    Thank you

    Here is a method for extracting a still from iMovie 09.
    Are you working in iMovie and realize that certain frames in the movie would be perfect as photographs? Here is how to extract them...
    *To get a still frame from an Event*, right-click on the frame and select "Add Still Frame to Project". The still will be added to the end of the current project. Right click on the still frame in the project and select "Reveal in Finder". You will see a jpeg file that is highlighted. Drag this jpeg file in the finder to the iPhoto icon on your dock.
    *If you want a still from a project*, rather than an event, the process is similar, except you right-click on the frame and select "Add Freeze Frame", and it adds the freeze frame at the end of the clip rather than at the end of the project. Right-click/reveal in Finder, drag JPEG to iPhoto icon in dock.
    *If you are not using iPhoto*, and just want to save to your desktop, click Reveal in Finder as above, then COPY, then PASTE to desktop.
    Hint: If you do not want to clutter up your iMovie Project with stills at the end that you would have to go back and delete, then create a separate iMovie Project just for your stills, and follow the instructions for capturing stills from an Event.
    Note: If you do not have a right mouse button, then control-click will work instead of right-click.

  • Is there any way to create fields reports users can enter data into?

    I am using Crystal XI to develop reports for my company and have not received any formal training on it.  I'm learning it fairly well through the help files. 
    One of the reports I need to create summarizes our scrap, rework, and additional incurred expenses for our monthly quality reports.  Most of the information is stored in the main program used by all employees, a very small amount of it is not.  I have created sub-reports for each of the different types of costs that are tracked in the system.
    Is there any way to create an area on the report that our QA people can use to enter the items not tracked in the main system?  I am imagining that it would be through another sub-report of some kind, but do not know how to create the fields needed. 
    Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide, even if it is to tell me "You can't do that, ma'am..."  At least then I would know and wouldn't beat my head against the desk trying to figure out how to do it.

    Is defining parameter prompts in the Crystal Report and displaying it in the report a possible workaround? 
    If you define parameter prompts, then Crystal will query the user before running the report - so this would be problematic if the user needs to reference data in the report to enter appropriate values (one possibility then is to use interactive parameters feature available in CR 2008).
    Sincerely,

  • SCOM 2012 - Is there a way to create a class/target/group based on the presence of a folder?

    I need to create monitor(s) for an application, but the application services are different on all the servers.  Usually I would find a application service that is common among all the servers I want to monitor to create the target,
    but this does not exist.  There are no common services for this application. However, every server does have a common folder in the Program Files on the C: drive (i.e. "xyz" folder exist on every server for the application). 
    Is there a way to create a target based on a folder in the Programs Folder?

    Please refer to the following, which is quite exactly fit your requirement.

  • Is there a way to create a recurring revenue/billing event in Projects (r12)?

    Is there any way to create a revenue/billing event in Projects that can be scheduled (billed monthly until a specified end date) other than a customization?

    I think there is no standard way to do it. However you can use billing extension to create automatic events. You may define the DFF fields on Project or Task level for having a recurring amount and End Date which will be picked during Generate Draft Revenue or Generate Draft Invoices. You can check in extension that if the event is already created for that month, extension should not create another event for same month for that project or Task because user may run the processes several times in a month. Please note that there will not be any history kept for DFF changes for amount and dates.
    You may decide on other means to keep recurring amount and End Dates to maintain History.
    Awaiting more inputs from experts.
    Also consider below statement from User Guide:
    Transaction Independent
    Once you determine the inputs to your calculations, you can determine if your billing extension calculation is solely dependent on other transactions being processed, or if your calculation can be executed without any other transactions being processed. Transactions refer to expenditure items and events.
    Transaction independent billing extensions are executed for each project with an active billing assignment, even if there are no transactions to process. This type of billing extension relies on an input other than billable transactions on a project. If this input changes, the calculated billing amount changes, which you want to record. For example, the cost-to-cost revenue accrual method, which relies on the budgeted cost and revenue amounts. If the budgeted cost or budgeted revenue changes, the revenue amount changes. You want to record this revenue amount change even if no other transactions are processed in revenue generation. This category includes the class of billing extensions that calculate revenue and invoice amounts based on values independent of the amounts included on draft revenue and invoices.
    Note: If you design a billing extension to be transaction independent, it will be executed in every run of the revenue or invoice processes.

  • Is there any way to create a style sheet in APEX?

    Hi experts,
    I am in I am in Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g 11.2.0.1.0.
    Is there any way to create a style sheet in APEX any version?
    I want to create a style sheet and use APEX report column link to it.
    Thanks.

    Well, if that is the case, then you'll need to do some PL/SQL programming to write a package to create all of that for you, then execute the package when the 'link' column is clicked.
    After your package is written, change the attributes on your link column to be a URL instead of page in your application and call it like:
    javascript:{MypopUp2('http://your.server.name/print/owner.package_name.sub_procedure?key=#COL01#',800,600);}
    On my system, I created a new DAD and user just for this one purpose, to read an select the information in my report, generate the HTML to display the data, etc. without leaving a loophole someone could exploit to get direct data manipulation access. My report though is a form-type report of all the data from about 40 tables for that one 'master' record, with css formatting included. I'm not directly generating a css file based upon data within the database, but simply adding the css formatting into the HTML file my package generates.
    Does this help your problem?

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • Is there a way to create scripts to use tmconfig...

    Is there a way to create a script to execute tmconfig and change CLOPTS parameters
    for a particular server?
    Here is what I would like to accomplish. Want to set "-r" option to a limited

    So, I would like to create a script to turn the "-r" option on when needed and

    If you've got perl on your machine, you can download the tuxedo perl module and
    write perl scripts to call tuxedo services. There's also a tuxedo::admin module
    at cpan now.

  • Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen?

    Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen? An if-then statement perhaps?  I am looking to add over 100 drop down options and would like to have a message automatically pop up depending one which option they chose.  Thank you.

  • Is there a way to create an email button to multiple addresses within a PDF?

    I have to regularly update a list of committee members and their email addresses which is then sent to all of the members. 
    Does anyone know if there a way of creating a button for each of the committees in the list which, when clicked, creates an email to all the  members contained within that committee?  I will need to add up to 14 email addresses to the one button. I need to know this because the various members in the committees are  fed up of copying and pasting all the email addresses into their email messages.
    I am now using Acrobat XI but I still can't figure out if this is even possible. If not a button, is there some other way of being able to launch an email to multiple addresses within a PDF?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Not really. But you can combine the data from multiple forms into a single (new) spreadsheet via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet...
