Is there a way to remove extra hard returns without wrecking text?

Hey gang,
I have 300 pages of flowing text that arrived via Import XML. Here and there are groups of 2 or 3 empty hard returns littering the flow. I want to Find/Change to get rid of them.
If I GREP search for \r (even adding negative lookaheads and negative lookarounds for the purpose of isolating empty returns) and replace them with nothing, this gives rise to a problem of the NEXT paragraph gets its paragraph style changed.
How can I avoid changing the paragraph style of the text that follows the empty returns?

No, both these methods cause the next legitimate text to change paragraph style.

  • I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

    I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
    Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
    This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
    This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
    The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
    If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
    I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
    I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.

    A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
    In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
    Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
    If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

    if it's fat32 then the mac can read it without problems
    if it's ntfs then you can install programs which make it possible to write to it too otherwise it's read only

  • Is there any way to remove my hard drive with backup files in it from the exclude these items from backups???

    I currently have a MacBook Air and a 1TB external hard drive, and I run my iPhoto Library from the EHD and as well have TM backup my computer to that same HD. The problem I have is that I don't have a backup of that HD which has all my photos and other media, so If the HD takes a crap I can be in big trouble.
    So what I did is I purchased a new HD (My Cloud from WD) to back up my EHD. While setting everything up I ran into this
    TM included the EHD in the "Exclude these items from backup" list and I can't touch them, and I tried everything. I later found this
    The last sentence of #3 states why I can't.... Since the EHD has a backup file in it, it is excluded.
    So..... Does anybody have any idea of a way around this? Would I have to restart everything and set it up different? Or just have a better and easier way of doing this?? I'll appreciate any help and suggestions.

    What you need, is a dedicated image restauration filter that recognized the regular frequency pattern superimposed onto the prints. You can do this in advanced Image processing packages that let you compute the fourier transform of the image and then suppress or attanuate the frequency bands of the artefact with a band-stop filter.
    But neither Aperture nor PhotoShop have this kind of filter. In Aperture and Photoshop you can only soften the effect by blurring and then exporting a smaller version of the image.
    The algorithm that your scanner uses is probably the best that can be done, even if the resolution is only 100 dpi. 
    Do you still have the negatives? Scanning the negatives at a high resolution may give you better results.

  • Is there a way to remove "Applet running..." when launching Applet in JWS?

    Is there any way to remove the "Applet running..." message at the bottom of the applet when launch in JWS? I have searched in the forum and bug database and cannot find a reference in how to remove it.
    I remember in the old applet days (JDK 1.1, 1.2?), everybody are mad at the yellow warning message when launching a new frame from an applet window. It is hard to believe this issue reappears in JDK 1.4.
    FYI, all the jar files are signed. And I am using JDK 1.4.1.
    Thanks,
    Nelson Fong

    Dietz,
    Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, our application requested all-permission in the jnlp file, and all jar files are signed as well.
    In fact, the warning is more like a status bar. The message was changed from "Initializing Applet..." to "Applet running...." during init() method.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Any way to remove extra blank "separator" pages when printing in Numbers?

    Hello, I've just started using Numbers '09 and noticed that for each page I have, there is an extra blank "separator" page that is added. Last night, I started a spreadsheet using one of the templates, and it's only 2 pages long, but it states on the sidebar that it's 4 pages. Those extra blank pages are only seen when you do a Print Preview. Is there a way to remove or disable these extra blank pages?
    I don't want those blank pages to print, especially when there are multiple sheets within the file with those blank pages mixed in-between. Plus, I send the file to others to reference too and would like them to be able to print the pages seamlessly without having to remove any blank separator pages that are printed in-between. Seems like there should be an easy remedy to this, but so far, haven't been able to find the solution. Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Unlike other spreadsheet programs, Numbers doesn't have wall-to-wall tables. Tables have a finite size and wherever there is a table a page will print, whether there is content in the cells on that page or not. To prevent the sheets without content from printing, you need just reduce the size of the tables to what you actually are using. If you select a cell in your table and scroll to the lower right corner of the table, you will find a large handle that when dragged will change the number of Rows and Columns. Drag the handle up and to the left until it encounters content. It will stop there on its own.
    Now go to the Print View mode: View > Show Print View. You will see all the pages with content and adjacent non-printing pages will be grayed-out.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to remove spots on the skin?

    Hello everyone,
    I am currently editing a video with a person being interviewed who has not particularly clear skin. Is there any way to remove spots in Premiere Elements 10? Step-by-step instructions would be great.
    Help very much appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    I would use Track Matte Keying on the person's face, and do a slight Blur, to smooth out the skin.
    There used to be a great tutorial, on doing just that, but Curt Wrigley closed down his Web site, where his tutorial was hosted - very sad day.
    I did a written tutorial, on using Track Matte Keying to "Highlight a Moving Subject," and with a bit of interpolation, you can use that. All of the general steps are in it, but in that tutorial, I used a hard-edged "circle" to do the highlight. In the case of a person, you would use a Track Matte with soft edges, sized to about the person's face. Here is that written tutorial: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1765005
    Good luck, and hope that helps - too bad that Curt's tutorial is no more. I would have hosted all of those, had he only asked.

  • HT5622 in my phone preventing access to iCloud.  Is there a way to remove it?  Apple said to wipe the phone out and start over.

    My iPhone 5 was set up with an Apple ID  I no longer use.  Neither Apple nor Hotmail recognize the e-mail address, but it is "hard wired" in my phone preventing access to iCloud.  Is there a way to remove the incorrect ID? Neither the genius or Manager at the Apple Store could figure it out.  They called Apple and had it escalated, but no luck. After an hour and a half the solution was wipe out the phone and start over.

  • Is there a way to remove packages that are installed as dependencies?

    Hi,
    I recently tried out GDM, and found that I don't like it. I now wish to remove it, along with all the dependencies that were installed along with it.
    However, I cannot find a way to list the dependencies of GDM, so that I can remove those as well.
    The pacman manual mentioned --cascade and --recursive , however cascade does not list anything else, and recursive includes WAY too many extra packages, many of which I actually need.
    Is there a way to remove the packages that were installed along with GDM, but nothing more and nothing less?
    Thanks,
    James

    +1
    I also remove packages with the -Rs switch.  I occasionally check for orphans.  In fact, I wrote an 'orphans' function in in my ~/.bashrc for this purpose.
    orphans() {
    if [[ ! -n $(pacman -Qdt) ]]; then
    echo no orphans to remove
    else
    sudo pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qdtq)

  • Is there a way to remove an app from the list of previously installed apps?

    Is there a way to remove an app from the list of previously installed app?
    The list that comes up when you click on the Purchased icon when updating apps.
    The list is becoming quite large after I installed and tried out a few apps.

  • I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

    I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
    Let me explain:
    In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
    Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
    (I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

    I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
    Hope it will be helpful

    Hi Fiona,
    Okay, the 4th parameter is the issue.
    There are four options:
    0 = OK (will not have an 'x')
    1 = OK, Cancel (will have an 'x')
    2 = Yes, No (will not have an 'x')
    3 = Yes, No, Cancel (will have an 'x')
    Where you do not include a cancel button (0 or 2) then there wont be an 'x':
    However where you do include a cancel button (1 or 3) then there will be an 'x':
    There wont be a workaround here (afaik), as the messagebox is driven by the OS, eg is automatically appears different on a Mac verses a Windows machine.
    Good luck,

  • Is there a way to remove the GNome border for Firefox in Fedora 20 (gnome desktop)

    Hi I have Fedora 20 with Gnome 3 desktop. The Firefox 31.0 has a bar above the tabs where it displays a bar and it shows the page title. Is there any way to remove it as it uses some space and I hate it. Is there any way to hide it or remove it.
    I have added screenshots just for reference: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jayabharat/15136543446/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/jayabharat/15159579845/

    Well, that works in my Windows, but not in Gnome 3. So In order to remove the title bar, I had to use Add-ons.
    HTitle 2.13 did wonders.
    Hide Caption Titlebar Plus 2.8.6 is also a good option.
