Did you find an answer to your question?
Would it also apply to Mountain Lion's Messages?

HT3349 How do you select a sub-set of cells from the entire document so you can print only those specific cells?

How do you select a sub-set of cells from the entire document so you can print only those specific cells?

There is no analog to MS Excels print range. So the next best thing is to plan your data so that you don't need to use print range. The next best thing after that is to select the range of cells you want to print, then copy, the switch to the application Preview, and create a new document from the clipboard (select the menu item "File > New from Clibboard") then select all, copy then paste to the destination (maybe an email) .
You can also paste that portion of the table into another table (or a new table) by pasting values only

Is there a way to selectively edit Autofill items?

On some of my frequently visited websites I've built up quite a long list of Autofill items (e.g., from eBay searches). I'd like to clean this up somewhat, so I can get rid of typos that I made when visiting these websites. I've found the Safari preferences page for Autofill, but it looks like I only have the option for completely clearing Autofill entries associated with that website.
Is there a way of viewing/editing the list of Autofill entries for a website and selectively deleting them? Or am I stuck with the all-or-nothing method?

Open up Safari's preferences and click on the AutoFill icon. Now lick on the Edit button beside "Other Forms". You can scroll through the list of sites and delete sites from the list. This will delete all entries for that site so you can start out fresh. There is no way to selectively edit entries for a site.

Is there a way to add an electronic signature in the Numbers application, like you can in Excel?

I am trying to add my electronic signature to a spreadsheet created in Microsoft Excel and I have brought it into Numbers on my Mac. I can't seem to find the function in any of the menus.

but I was afraid of preserving the excel properties as a spreadsheet
I do not understand.
The solution I provided allows you to add your signature to ANY document you print to PDF.
You can always take a picture of your signature and copy and paste the signature as needed in Numbers

Way to selectively edit "other" forms in AutoFill?

Is there any way to selectively edit the choices that popup in search fields (other forms in AutoFill preferences)?
I use a certain database frequently and would like to keep the results from previous searches, but on occasion I make a typo and then that will reappear later as a possible option (the list has about 20-30 entries so it would be easier to manage if it could be trimmed).
Thanks

Hi Oliver
Yes but this doesn't solve the issue of future typos…I don't want to go through the whole list each time I want to "purge" any misspelled entries that pop up.
Unfortunately, that's the "nature of the beast". Personally, I like Internet Explorer for Mac's method for auto-fill.
With Safari 3.0 on the way (OS X Leopard debut), consider sending feedback to Apple suggesting a different approach to autofill.
Thanks for the

Is there a way of selecting one colour in an image?

I have a 4 colour image and I need to do alternative colourways.
Is there a quick way of selecting all of one colour so I don't have to select each area individually?
Thanks for helping, it will save me a lot of time!!

Another option is to do Image - Adjust - Hue/Saturation, choose the color from the list (e.g., "Reds"), then adjust Hue/Sat for just that color.
If you're knowledgeable about adjustment layers, it might be preferable to do this with a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.
Once you have chosen a color category in the Hue/Saturation dialogs, you can click on the actual color in the image to fine tune the center of the range, and you can move the range ends to change the range the colors affected and how smooth the transition will be.

Is there a way to select all emails at once on the iPad and then delete them at one time?

Is there a way to select all emails at once on the iPad and then delete them at one time?

Tap on the edit button at the top right of the email list. This will let you select the emails to delete, once all are selected, tap on the bottom right button that says delete to delete them all at once.

Is there any way to select all mail messages and delete them?

I get lots of mail, and most of it I don't keep, or keep over on my MacBook. Is there a way to select all the Mail messages and delete them, or do I need to go through them one at a time?
many thanks!

In your inbox in the phone you can mark the mails one by one and then tab delete.
In Trash you can delete all with one tab.

Is there a way to make YouTube download my selection completely before playing (like you can do with songs on iTunes)? I'm getting sick of start and stop during viewing!!

Apparently I typed my entire question into the subject line without knowing what I was doing!
I want to FULLY download selections from YouTube before attempting to view them. Just like you can select to fully download the samples of songs from iTunes. I am sick of the **** YouTube video going in and out, especially when I'm also downloading something else at the same time!
Please tell me how to set this 'preference,' if there is a way!
Thanks !
David

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 >>

Can I choose a backup-font for missing characters in a style? Or is there a way to select pink areas

I have to layout tons of UTF 8 data from a MySQL database.
There is one problem. The designer picked a font that does not contain the Japanese characters. But there is much inline-Japanese in the text.
So the imported text has many pink areas (characters not present in font).
So I search for any of the following options:
Is there a way to define a fall-back font (like webbrowsers do). If you view UTF in TextEdit (mac) or in the browser, all weird characters are displayed using Osaka. Is there a way to let Indesign replace pink squares with Osaka?
Is there a way to SELECT all pink squares, and apply a character-style to them? That way I can create a characterstyle with the Osaka font
Is there a way to have InDesign parse some sort of markup-elements in plain text? I could tweak the MySQL output with PHP to wrap all strange symbols in a markup-item like [japanese]blabla[/japanese]. If that would be converted to characterstyle "Japanese" on import, I would be helped a lot as well.
The font hack: is there a way to load all available characters in the designfont into Osaka and replace those characters and make Osaka2? Or would that result in a mess?
I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, as that allows to tweak font height and baseline shift to match the other font.
Does anybody know one of the four or maybe a fifth way to tackle my problem?

Thanks for standing in for me, Peter - we were hosting the extended family, I did nothing but cook for hours.

This is what I'd do, honestly. It depends on your available output-from-DB formats, and what you're placing/importing into ID. But if you're placing raw text (?) then you can't simply use Type -> Find Font, so the GREP solutions offered here are good ones.
I think some automation to get a character style on the pink areas is the best, as that allows to tweak font height and baseline shift to match the other font.
Note that the "baseline" in Japanese is not the same place as the baseline in Latin-script. Japanese doesn't really have a baseline - they operate with a completely separate set of typographical conventions - but the effect is that you should not line up the bottom of your Japanese glyphs with the Latin-script baseline. Set some bilingual text in a good font (Kozuka Mincho Pro, it came with ID, you probably already have it installed) and take a look.
it is very important that you have the correct glyphs or you risk changing the meanings or making the author look like an idiot. If you don't read Japanese you would be well advised to have the document checked by someone who does to be sure it reads OK before it goes into the wild.
Chances that you'll make something completely illegible are minimal when handling Japanese, but there are a very large number of reasons why you can't just flow Japanese into English-language ID and expect it to work. There are permissible places to wrap Japanese, and places where it's not permissible. The paragraph composer you'd be using if you are using English-language ID will happily break Japanese in the wrong place. This is analagous to bad hyphenation, but looks far more idiotic to the Japanese readership than bad hyphenation looks to an English-language readership (who probably wouldn't notice bad hyphenation unlesss they happen to be a design-savvy readership). Look into using something like Japanese Indesign or World Tools Pro or the TransPacific Digital Japanese-composer template files.

Is there a way to create editable tags in a dashboard section?

Is there a way to create editable tags in a dashboard section?
The requirement is - User should be able to enter comments in a edit box for a section in a dashboard and save it. For other users, this should show up as a non-editable comment while for the user it should be editable box.
Example: In a report in a section on dashboard for Supplier Trends, a Purchase Manager should enter the commments -" This weeks trends show no issues. Next week watch out for supplier X". For everyone other than him, this should show up as comments.
1. Is there a way to achieve this functionality?
2. Can this be achived using write back option?
3. Or will this require java scripting?
Thanks

Hi,
If you want to have a better experience of your music files, how about just use WMP to enjoy all the songs, you can
sort by Artists or Album or whatever you like. There, you can have a better and easier way to organize all your music
files.
For Windows Explorer, did you mean
medium size icons in artist, while list icon in albums, you can just organize as you want like the following screenshot.
If I'm missing something, please free contact me.

Is there a way to select every other page in a multi page pdf and convert it to grayscale?

I'm going to ask this question in a few sub-forums, so if you think you've seen it, you might have.
Where I work I use a program that can print to pdf. We use it to produce mailings, usually postcards, that are addressed.
I often end up with a 500 page document that will print on 250 sheets of cover stock, which will get cut into 1,000 postcard, all pre-addressed and sorted by zip code.
Usually, the address side is all black and the front is color. The printers we use can print a black click on the address side and a color click on the other, IF the pdf is set up that way. Otherwise, both sides will be counted as color clicks.
I know I can select pages individually in a pdf and convert them to grayscale and those pages will be counted by the printer as black clicks, which are cheaper than color clicks.
The problem is, I have not figured out how to convert all the odd numbered pages to grayscale at once. As a result, I usually end up printing the color side simplex, then putting the job back in the tray and printing the black side. Of course, that only works if only one side is personalized, sometimes both sides are.
Is there a way to select every other page in a pdf and convert it to grayscale?

The Acrobat SDK has sample code that shows how to convert the colors for one page (the first page of a document). This sample can easily be adjusted to process every other page. You can then use an Action that executes this JavaScript to process the document. Do you know how to create an Action? If so, you can use this script (as I said, adapted from the sample in the SDK) to convert all odd pages (1, 3, 5, ...):
// Get a color convert action
var toGray = this.getColorConvertAction();
// Set up the action for a conversion to RGB
toGray.matchAttributesAny = -1;
toGray.matchSpaceTypeAny = ~toGray.constants.spaceFlags.AlternateSpace;
toGray.matchIntent = toGray.constants.renderingIntents.Any;
toGray.convertProfile = "Gray Gamma 1.8";
toGray.convertIntent = toGray.constants.renderingIntents.Document;
toGray.embed = true;
toGray.preserveBlack = false;
toGray.useBlackPointCompensation = true;
toGray.action = toGray.constants.actions.Convert;
// Convert every other page
for (var i=0; i<this.numPages; i++) {
console.println("Processing page " + i);
if (i % 2 == 0) { // change to "if (i % 2 != 0) {" for all even numbers
console.println("in page " + i);
console.println(this.colorConvertPage(i, [toGray], []));
As I've indicated in the code, you can change this to all even numbers by changing the == to !=

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
