Is there a way to find text within InDesign documents in a search using windows environment?

We are working in Windows and transitioning from using Word to InDesign for our documents. InDesign documents do not show up in the results when trying to search for a file name or file contents. How can we search for specific text within our InDesign documents? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to find text within Sequence?

Many of the TestStand 3.0 sequences that I'm creating are fairly lengthy (200 or more steps plus subsequences) and I often need to find a step within the sequence that has a specific string in the Step Name.
I'm aware of the "Find" feature, but this will change screens and give me a list of all of the steps in the sequence that contain the search string.
What I want to do is to search for the string within the Sequence so that it takes me to the NEXT occurance of that string (F3 for Find Next), so that I can Edit the Step (i.e. change the Specify Module, Preconditions, or Expressions).
The only workaround that I've figured out so far is to highlight the sequence, do a "CTL-C" and paste into a word processor, then search th
at document. Once I find it, I then have to find the same line in the TestStand Sequence.
Is there an easier way?
Mike

Mike -
I do understand your wanting this type of Find capability. We had considered different designs of Find feature in TestStand and one design allowed for F3 to traverse the tree view of a single step group in a sequence. There were drawbacks to this approach, so we decided on the current implementation. Since you cannot instruct the sequence editor to view specific location in its tree view, any solution that you create would require your own sequence tree view to facilitate the display and editing of the values. The SearchResults class in TestStand 3.0 was used to implement the underlying find functionality in the sequence editor.

Is there a way to trace back an indesign document from which a certain jpeg was exported?

I have a jpeg image that was exported from indesign a long time ago. I no longer know where the indesign file is located or it's name, but I need to edit the text of the jpeg and the only way to do that is by editing the original indesign document and reexporting it. Is there a way to trace back an indesign document from which a certain jpeg was exported?

Depending on how the text interacts visually with the image, it might be possible to use the fill property of the content-aware deletion feature of recent Photoshop versions to remove the text with little or no evidence of the deletion, then apply text over the graphic however you like.

Is there any way to find text highlighted in adobe reader and automatically copy it to comment boxes?

If I use a pdf highlighted in Adobe Reader (metro) in another PDF reading program, one with functionality to retrieve and list various annotations on the PDF, it simply finds "sticky note" as Adobe Reader highlights the text but fails to copy and paste it into a 'highlight' comment box. I intend to use another program with this feature automatic, from this point forward, but is there any way I can retroactively and automatically do this same task to all the other work I've done with Adobe Reader? It is, as I understand, a standard function of PDF annotation.
Of course, ideally, I would also like this to be automatic in the future, as the Adobe Reader Metro App is generally well-designed, touch-interface wise. But this lacking feature makes finding my comments a much greater hassle than it should be (as I can see where I highlighted, but not what without traveling directly to the page)
Also on a side note, I apparently can't delete a sticky note from within the app, what the hell

You cannot enforce something like that. You have some options when the field is set up to allow rich text formatting, but the user can always change it.

Is there a way to Find & Replace within a selection?

I looked in the User Guide, but I didn't find any information on how to Find & Replace just within selected text. I can see how to do it for the entire document or do it one instance at a time. Is there a trick I'm missing, or is this a missing feature?

Hey Chuck,
I opened Pages and used its help menu and came up with this. It does not specifically mention anything about choosing just 1 paragraph or text box, but I hope it helps you none the less.

Is there a way to find out ALL the files an FCP project uses?

Okay. Firstly, I'm an idiot. I don't know why, but at the START of the project, I didn't think I'd end up with so many little tiny bits and pieces... so I didn't really plan the organization of this thing. (My next project will be meticulously organized, I can assure you.)
But, here I am, and here's my problem.
I've got a pretty big project I've been working on for six months that's probably taking up 250 GB of space on my computer (spread over two 350 GB hard drives). It includes 125 GB of source footage, hundreds of little Motion projects (including various "drafts" of each one), PSD images, LiveType files, an assortment of Soundtrack Pro files, AIFFs, exported clips from all the various cuts of the project, etc etc etc. Stupidly, I always saved things in different folders, using a system and thought process that "seemed like a good idea at the time".
Problem is, now that I'm (nearly) finished with the thing, I need to archive the "final cut", and all it's many source files (such as Motion projects, which may need to be edited later if this project gets sold into foreign markets, etc).
Suddenly, I realize how important Organizational Skills really are.
But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of never finding it again.)
I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or something) of every single file.
The idea is, I would then move ONLY those files to a newly-organized filing system, which could be easily archived/backed-up. It would also be great to keep the RENDER files, too, so that I won't have to re-render everything when I pull it out of cold storage.
Am I dreaming an impossible dream?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a

I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
something) of every single file.
There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
Peace

Is there a way to find out what persona I have without searching through all the Personas?

I want to change my persona, but use the same one in the future. Is there a way I can find this one w/o having to search the whole Personas page?

A Persona may not last forever, so if you like a persona then it is best to make a backup copy of the two persona image files in the profile folder in case they get removed from the persona server.
If you like a persona then it is always best to save a copy of the files lightweighttheme-header and lightweighttheme-footer in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox only stores the images from the currently selected persona.<br />
All others that you have installed are loaded from the server when you select a different persona.

Is there a way to FIND what page is playing music?

I often have two browsers & a good number of windows & tabs open. Sometimes, especially if I have to reboot, and they all re-open, I'll hear music or a video playing, and have no clue where it's coming from!
Is there no way to find out, without having to go tab by tab, window by window, scouring up and down on each page, looking for a little player?
And on some sites, there's just automatic music, with no visible player (which I really can't stand, as I'm usually already listening to something else, and the webpages with auto-play tend to use very loud music, increasing the ensuing displeasure.

Tuttle wrote:
I don't know if there's an answer to your question, but Firefox 4 (still in beta) has a new feature called Panorama that lets you visualize and arrange tabs at the click of a button. It allows you to see re-sizable thumbnails of all the tabs you have open in a window at the same time, which should make your hunt a little easier.

Well, that would help to see what tabs are open, but my major problem is when it's just a player or small video window on a page, that's playing. Knowing all the tabs open will help if it's an obvious page, like a YouTube video, or band's MySpace page, but I can see all the tabs on each window, but I still must go one by one, looking up & down each page, looking for the culprit. Sometimes there's no player to see, but an imbedded song that automatically just plays....
I was hoping there'd be some program that could show where or on what page an audio or video file is being played...

Is there a way to find/change the font of numericals only, within a document in indesign?

Is there a way to find/change the font of numericals only, within a document in indesign?

It might not be what you need for this document, but if you were creating it from scratch, a GREP style would probably be the way to go. That way, new figures added to the text will automatically be styled the way you like.
Start with a base Paragraph Style (i.e. 'Body') that all subsequent styles ('Heading' etc) are based on. Select a figure, and apply the font and any other attributes required. Select it and make a new Character Style. In your Paragraph Style, go to GREP Styles, and set it to apply the Character Style to the 'Any Digit' Wildcard.

The only way would be to restore the phone from a backup made by syncing the phone while this message was still on it. Note: this would revert all data and settings to those in the backup, not just messages.

Is there any way to find a log of the send e-mail from ICloud.. to analyse how many email has been send and deleted within a day from send items

Thx Winston,
I can count the send item. But let me try to explain why did I ask this question.
I had a trouble in sending e-mails from icloud on 22/2 and when I saw in my send item there were no emails.
But the mesgs to whom I emailed received and out of which only few of them didn't got the email. So I wanted to know the log abt the outflow of the mesg with subject and the receipants email id and the list with attachment or not.
How and where will I get the information apart from send item and draft mesg and the outflow undelivered?
Regards

You could try calling CS, but other than that I don't think there is.

I have files that freeze my programs whenever I try to open ANY file. Is there a way to find the exact files causing the crash?

I have files that are freezing my programs (adobe; after effect and photoshop, as well as maxon cinema 4d). Whenever I try to import ANY file from within the program it doen't even let me select the file I need before freezing. I have moved all files off my desktop and into my dropbox, and it now allows me to import files/search for files on the desktop but NOT dropbox, once I go to dropbox it freezes again. I am assuming there are files within dropbox now that are crashing my programs. The problem is I have a lot of files in there and would like to remove the corrupt ones so that I can use my programs without freezing. Is there a way to find the exact files causing the crash?
This has happened a couple of times and each time I have to move all my files off my desktop, so there must be a type of file doing this, I just don't know what files they are.

This error sounds to me like you have/had BootCamp Windows installed and then removed, posible ?
If so (and even if not so), try restating your MBA while holding down the alt/option-key until you get to the Boot Selection Screen.
Choose to boot OSX.
Once in OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.
Hope it helps

Is there a way to find out, whether the student or the full version is currently installed?

Hi everyone!
First of all: Merry Christmas!
A longer text with some background information is following. My question will be at the bottom.
My computer is a good boy and it didn't disappoint me for quite a while now.
I had once installed the student version (german) of CS3 extended on this one.
Then, after having removed the student version some time later when needed, I have re-installed the full version.
This time, however, it was in english and it wasn't the extended version either.
After the software has accepted my serial id, I was quite content. It felt much better in english and I was able to use photoshop to the fullest once again.
Today, I have gotten my hands on the upgrade version to CS5 (again in english and not extended, but that's all I need).
After the installation guide has told me, that there are no programmes installed which are compatible to the upgrade, I was confused.
I have realised that my current CS3 version was still the extended one, even though it was in english and it wasn't the student version either (at least, that's what I believe, because there were no "activate"/"deactivate" buttons in the help menu where it used to be in the german student version before).
So while doing an upgrade to CS5, I had to chose CS3 extended from the list and had to type in the old student's version serial number.
Nothing else worked, even though I've tried to chose the CS3 version in combination with the other serial number, which belong to the full version both.
Now to my question:
Is there a way to find out, whether the student or the full version is currently installed?
(Other than looking at the box of course, that would be quite trivial. I am worried if the installation guide hasn't removed all components thoroughly.)
Thanks in advance,
Happy holidays,
Jeff

Thanks for the reply!
That's what I thought as well. However, that wasn't the case. Whether it's the educational or the full version, both splash screens looked the same.
At least for the CS3 version.I know how I was quite confused about that in the past when I'd realised that.
The CS5 splash screen didn't say anything about a student version, but I was able to deactivate the application. I thought this was possible for the student version only.
I've tried using the adobe clean program like suggested, but that didn't work either. The installation guide of CS5 still didn't bother asking for an older version.
I.e.: It still used the educational serial number from before.
After reinstalling windows on my pc, the installation guide finally wanted to know about my CS3 again.
However, it told me, that the serial number of the full version in combination with CS3 is not valid. Just like it did before.
Maybe it's because the full version was made in the USA and the CS5 upgrade version was made in Austria - Ireland?
That would be really frustrating.
