Is there a way to make a 'value list' to auto enter data?

I'm trying to do something that might be better done in a database, but am hoping Numbers will do it.
I'm keeping track of expenses and have a list of vendors. I'd like the vendors to appear as a value list when I click in a cell so that I can select from the list to enter the vendor name and not have to type it.
Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi Paul,
I believe that you are referring to what is called a Pop-Up Menu format in Numbers. It works well for lists that aren't too long. It's rather a pain to edit the list, so it's best used for small projects. I don't care for the feature myself, because if you do ever edit the list you must be careful not to reformat any row with an existing selection in it.
I would rather use an abbreviation to represent the vendor. Typing a few characters is easier than using the Pop-up Menu. To prevent errors in this mode, you can add a column with the full vendor name grabbed from a lookup table based on the abbreviation. If you use the incorrect abbreviation, it will be immediately obvious.
Download the Numbers User Guide from the Help Menu. It's an interesting read.

Is there any way to make the Comments list appear somewhere other than below the active PDF?

It would be great if there was some way the Comments list when participating in a PDF Review could be moved to the right side of the PDF or in a movable window of its own. With a dual monitor setup this arrangement would allow better use of the screen real estate. This might also be useful for those who want all of the comments to be able to be printed from one file without the annoying break between each page.

Yes it is possible, just click & hold on the comments icon (two yellow speech bubbles) and drag in off the bar.

When I type in an address on the address line and hit enter, nothing happens. It used to work. Now i have to hit the icon in the address bar to get it to load. Is there a way to make it load when I hit enter?

I've tried typing in different addresses and none of them load if I just hit "enter" after I finish typing. I'm confused because that's what I've always done in the past. I don't know why this doesn't work anymore.

Yes I had this problem and just now discovered that it was because the add-on 'Omnibar'. I disabled it and now it works fine. Most likely one of your add-ons is causing the problem as TonyE suggested already and lead me to the discovery of my problem in a previous post.

Is there any way to make copies of the maser image in LR3?

Is there any way to make copies of the maser image in LR3?
I do a lot of sports and dance photography and I need a way to make multiple copies of an image to drag into different folders in LR3.
Example: One dancer may be on several teams and I need to make copies of the team photos to put in each dancers folder before I upload them to my E Commerce site so each dancer see's their team photo with their individual photos in the same folder online.
I know I can make virtual copies, but you cannot drag them to different folders as copies, it will move the virtual with the master.
If they would just let us hold ALT or any key while dragging to "copy" instead of "move", my problem would be solved.
For now I have to go into Windows, make copies ,then synch the folders again. Pain in the rear to do that.
Anyone have any experience here?
Thanks

Ron,
I too need to make "Real Copies" of images and hate doing anything directly from the OS because of the chance that my LR catalog gets out of Sync with the actual images on the computer. So I make the copies inside LR with an export routine and then move the copies inside of LR with the normal drag and drop. Once the export preset is created it can be executed from the Library Grid by right-clicking on the image (or selected images) to make the copies. My settings are as follows in case you are interested:
This is the first time I have posted an image before and I am not sure if you will be able to read it or not. The contents from the export preset in the image above are as follows if that helps:
s = {

internalName = "Make Real File Copy",
title = "Real File Copy",

Is there a way to make a website in flash, the client can edit?

is there a way to make a website in flash, the client can edit? if not which is the best tool to use?
thanks!

I said "such as" for a reason. There are various forms that data resources can take, such as simple name=value text files, but if you are shy of learning xml then you are likely shy of other file forms as well.
Another way would be to have the client purchase Flash and then they can edit the Flash source file themselves.
Unfortunately, to do what you want, either you or the client has to learn/understand the tools that are involved.

TS2951 Is there a way to make a dvd Boot Start Up Copy for Lion 7.4.1 ? on a MAC PRO 2011

Hello,
Is there a way to make a dvd Boot Start Up Copy for Lion 7.4.1 ? on a MAC PRO 2011 ? I only have the Newest
Lion Thumb Drive 7.0 and will not allow me to ever Reinstall my MAC. Which I like to do from time to time....
Is the Thumb Drive Suppose to reinstall the entire computer or just upgrade ? Apple Store does not know what
level each customer is at so the Thumb Drives must Totally Start from Scratch.
It worked Once in Nov a Month after I Bought the MAC PRO in 2011 by customer care telling me to Hold down the Option Key When I Turn on the MAC ? I hope That is Correct.
SO WHAT I AM REALLY WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT MACS IS CAN YOU MAKE A BOOT DVD and NOT with Time Machine or an External Hard Drive.

Is there are way to make the orange star-rectangle shape symmetrical?

In the tutorial, after joining the orange rectangle and stars and going back in to reshape the points, is there a way to make sure the shape is symmetrical (such as just by changing one side and then automatically applying the same angles to the other side)?

Lysie,
Without knowing anything about the tutorial or the specific case, but presuming symmetry to start with and that you wish to move individual Anchor Points on one side and have the mirrored movements on the other side:
Normally, when you wish to create something mirrored, you work with half the shape and have it reflected (which can be done live), but when you have both sides already, maybe it is better to mirror by repeating.
For each set of Anchor Points, you may (after initially deselecting):
1) With the Direct Selection Tool ClickDrag the Anchor Point to a new position on one side;
2) Click the corresponding Anchor Point on the other side and Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+M (Object>Transform>Move) keeping the values and only changing the sign for Horizontal (from + to - or - to +).
If you need to move the same Ancjor Point multiple times, perform both 1) and 2) each time.

Is there a way to make the query key reference date equal to a date of IC

Hi gurus
Is there a way to make the query key reference date equal to a date in the InfoCube. For example, I want to see the attributes for characteristic material based on the sales date of the transaction?
Thanks
Siva

Sivakumar,
Key date applicable to entire query for time dependent attributes and heirarchies.
You can create a user entry variable and use it for query key date. So can choose at input screen. and also you can populate default value using user exit(eg: current date).
Hope it Helps

Is there a way to make a checkbox cause specific text fields to be required?

Ji everybody, I'm Trying to make this work. Its really the problem described in this thread:
Is there a way to make a checkbox cause specific text fields to be required?
But i cant bring it to work.
ive attached a screenshot of my settings.
any help is much appreciated!
thx

If the export value is not specified, it is by default set to "Yes" in the language of your version of Acrobat which can be quite annoying when you are creating a file using two computer that have different language settings.
If the export value is not important to you, you should use the property called .isBoxChecked(0) instead of the value property. It works the same way except it is boolean (true or false) .
if (this.getField("myCheckBox").isBoxChecked == true){
this.getField("textField").required = true;
alternatively, there is a method called .checkThisBox() for manually checking boxes.
this.getField("myCheckBox").checkThisBox(0, true) will check it while (0, false) will un-check it regardless of the export value.

Is there a way to make default keyboard languages for specific contacts... Like for my mum in Spanish and for my buddies in English?

Is there a way to make default keyboard languages for specific contacts... Like for my mum whom I send messages in Spanish to and for my buddies who speak English.

I think you cannot set default value with something that is not on the list.
try to do it differently, leave the 3 option and set the default value to New.
then, edit the "newform.aspx" and hide the field, with jQuery
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("select[title='fieldName']").closest("tr").hide();
then, edit the "editform.aspx" and remove the "New" option from the drop down with javascript
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("select[title='fieldName'] option[value='New']").remove();

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

Is there a way to make all page margins the same?

I've exported a book file from indesign. Since the pages were in a book-type spread, the odd and even pages have different margins. The odd page has the bigger margin on the left, while the even has the bigger margin on the right. Is there any way to make these identical after the fact. I can't go back and redo the indesign file.

Thanks, there are 382 pages. Can't do them one by one. And I purposely made the margins different in indesign, to give people more space in the middle. The margins are as follows:
But when I try to reverse the inside outside on one page of the spread, just reverse them, so the dimensions are the SAME, all the text and photos move.

Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or ?

This may be a stupid question. I am hooking my MBP to my lcd tv. When I first connected the television, my tv displayed the message "mode not supported". Having played a little at this I simply went to my display preferences and looked at what resolution was running to my tv. (I have my display preferences in the toolbar) It was running 1920x1080 at 60Hz and right above that there was another 1920x1080 at 60Hz so I clicked on that and my external display lit right up. (Turns out the second resolution's refresh rate is actually 59.9Hz) So no problem right? Well I use this set up as sort of a media center so I like to run my MBP with its lid closed. When I close the lid, and rewake the MBP, my television gives me the message "mode not supported". So there is a signal but the tv can't display it. This leads me to believe that when I close the lid on my MBP it decides to run at the 60Hz as opposed to the functional 59.9Hz. The problem is I can't see the display to change the resolution or refresh rate. Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or refresh rate? I have tried changing it before I close the lid. I have tried it in mirrored display mode. Nothing works so far. Please Help!

Not really. In the Displays preferences you can only check the option to show supported resolutions, but that only will be present with another display connected (I believe.) On laptops it isn't an option, obviously, but it may be present once you connect an external display.
You might try using the shareware utility SwitchResX - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
Best wishes
