Lion replaces text with 'block A' characters in safari

about 1/4 of the sites i vist now (including my own--in safari) have a 'block A' character where there is html text.
does anyone know how to fix this?
thanks.

There are two articles on MacFixit about this.
Fonts are implicated in both.

Clearing caches and booting to Safe Mode has helped the majority of people experiencing this problem; however, for a few people the problem returns after a while, indicating that either Safari itself or the system's font configuration may be actively corrupting the font cache.
.... (example)
- If this happens, then unfortunately the approach would be to systematically disable system fonts using Font Book until the problem goes away, and then remove the specific fonts that are contributing to the problem.

Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document

I have a powershell script that uses a Word document as a template to create signatures that I am pushing out to my organization.
The document is populated with text formatted the way I want the signature to look, that I then do a FindText and ReplaceText on. This works fine for replacing text with text, but I can't figure out how to properly replace some of the holder text with
an image and a link. I found a few posts about adding images to word documents, but none that seem to work properly in this scenario.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Dear BOFH,
You are correct that method I outlined is not for inserting an image into a signature block (which would be in Outlook, not Word). The links you post do certainly deal with outlook signatures, well done... Except that the question was about how to
use a Powershell script to replace text in a Word document with an image. Sure it was framed in the context of creating signatures, but the poster expressed that they already had a method of generating and replacing text, and just needed to know, as
I did, how to do the thing they actually asked.
Please BOFH... Please forgive my audacity in hoping to find a reference (any reference) to how to replace Word text with images via Powershell in a thread titled "Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document".
This is certainly a scripting question, and even something as simple as "You will need to call the .NET methods for the Word find/replace functionality. Please ask in the Word forums for the correct method to use.
If you need help on calling .NET methods look HTTP ://here"support you offered combined with the contempt you offer in response to my actual substantive help to the actual question asked.
BOFH, you are not better than us, just more arrogant.
Can you please start your own question as this one has been closed. Please see scripting guidelines.

Applescript replace text with clipboard

Sorry if this has been asked before, I have been searching for hours and cannot find anything.
what I would like to do is copy text from a safari webpage , swap to the textedit program and replace text with the copied contents.
for eg.
from safari I have copied the user link, I then want it to swap over to textedit, find the keyword "userlink" and replace it with the copied content from safari
userlink
email
number
HHopefully I have explained it correctly, and thanks in advance for any help

Hi,
Like this:
set x to the clipboard as «class RTF »
tell application "TextEdit"
set first word of front document whose it = "userlink" to x
end tell
If you want plain text, remove as
as «class RTF »

I can't type text with special Spanish characters (Captivate 6)

Hi there,
I've just downloaded Adobe Captivate 6 to try it out and found that I can't type some special characters widely used in Spanish language: our accents or tildes (that's the Spanish word for them). That's what I can't type:
Á or á
É or é
Í or í
Ó or ó
Ú or ú
I've checked the fonts on my font manager, but that's not the problem. They're fine.
I've also tried to paste some text with these characters from Firefox and it worked fine. You can see it on the image:
So I guess it must be some annoying bug.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Iñaki

Hi Lilybri,
I still have this problem with the accents in AC and I've just found that problem comes from the double-type characters (like the accents in Spanish).

BTW, I got no answer from Adobe and i'ts been more than 2 months since I registered the bug...
Best regards!

Search .docx and replace text with image

I've got a directory containing a series of images. The images will always be the same name and I need to insert them into placeholders in a Word document which will be a template. I thought of using the image names as placeholders, opening the document
and searching for the image name, replacing it by inserting the image, and doing so for each image in the directory.
$file is the name of the image in the directory and it loops through them okay.
foreach($file in Get-ChildItem $savepath -Filter *.jpg)
# search word doc and replace selected text with image ($file)
Also inserting the image seems simple enough from a TechNet article I found, but I've got no idea how to open the Word document and do a search and replace. I found a few articles related to the subject but I couldn't get them to work when I tried to adapt
them.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This 'might' be possible, but I'm having a hard time finding good references to the com object capabilities for inserting an image into a word document. Creating new, converting format, that sort of thing is straightforward.
I'd do a search on "powershell word comobject" and variations of insert image update edit, etc. Or maybe someone else with more experience/knowledge has a magic bullet for you. Once you get some info on doing it with powershell, expand
your search by omitting the powershell keyword, there's gotta be some solid documentation for the comobject somwhere, but it will probably be a bit complex.
You can also:
$word = new-object -comobject word.application
$doc = $word.documents.add("<path to word document>"
and get-member to your heart's content, but finding references and/or documentation might be easier.
Good luck!
Edit: This could help, but really doesn't give much insight into placement of the image, only helps getting the image into the doc: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/44ffc6c8-131f-42f1-b24b-ff92230b2e0a
If you do find something useful, post it here, I'm sure others could benefit!
SubEdit: Should have thought of this already...

Hi,
I have a column where data is merged from three other columns each text separated by "-". Ex: Services - Phoneline - New Customer.

I use to do it in excel using substitute function where I have the facillity to use the character instance number. I don't know how to do this in Business objects.
Please help...

Good troubleshooting techniques. Unless someone gets lucky with a wild guess, I suspect we cannot help without having the workbook to see the situation for ourselves.
You can upload an example Excel file (devoid of any private data) that demonstrates the problem to a file-sharing website.
Then post the "shared", "public" or "view-only" link (aka URL; http://...) in a response here.
The following is a list of some free file-sharing websites; or use your own.

I suspect that the problem has to do with either a mismatch in spacing or the presence of non-breaking spaces (HTML &nbsp) or other non-printing characters, notwithstanding your efforts to eliminate that possibility with your copy-and-paste experiments.

Replace text with formula in calculate columns

How can I replace ";" in a text like this with " AND " ?
example text: "abc;cde;efg;ijk"
the result should be like this: "abc AND cde AND efg AND ijk"

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to replace “;” with “AND” in calculated column.
As you are not using English as the default language, you should use the localized version of function names and ";" instead of commas.
To replace all the “;” with “AND”, we need to use the formula as below(for English site):
=REPLACE((REPLACE((REPLACE([mycolumn],SEARCH(";",[mycolumn]),"1"," AND ")),SEARCH(";",(REPLACE([mycolumn],SEARCH(";",[mycolumn]),"1"," AND "))),"1",
" AND ")),SEARCH(";",(REPLACE((REPLACE([mycolumn],SEARCH(";",[mycolumn]),"1"," AND ")),SEARCH(";",(REPLACE([mycolumn],SEARCH(";",[mycolumn]),"1"," And "))),"1",
" AND "))),"1"," AND ")

Hello, I have a couple of questions for you… How come you have strings in text frames… Would you not be better off using labels for this…? ( thats how I would do this ). Off the top of my head I think you will need to remove any text content from the frame to be able to change it's content type… only then will you be able to place a graphic… How are you associating your strings with the required image files… Do you have this in some extenal file Excel or FMP.

Hi,
One thing's to be clarified :
If you need sometimes number & sometimes text in a particular target field, then it has to be a char field and you cant do any mathematical operation on that later.

Problem inserting text with special Hungarian characters into MySQL database

When I insert text into my MySQL db the special Hungarian
characters (ő,ű) they change into "?".
When I check the
<cfoutput>#FORM.special_character#</cfoutput> it gives
me the correct text, things go wrong just when writing it into the
db. My hosting provider said the following: "please try to
evidently specify "latin2" charset with "latin2_hungarian_ci"
collation when performing any operations with tables. It is
supported by the server but not used by default." At my former
hosting provider I had no such problem. Anyway how could I do what
my hosting provider has suggested. I read a PHP related article
that said use "SET NAMES latin2". How could I do such thing in
ColdFusion? Any suggestion? Besides I've tried to use UTF8 and
Latin2 character encoding both on my pages and in the db but with
not much success.
I've also read a French language message here in this forum
that suggested to use:
<cfscript>
setEncoding("form", "utf-8");
setEncoding("url", "utf-8");
</cfscript>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
I' ve changed the utf-8 to latin2 and even to iso-8859-2 but
didn't help.
Thanks, Aron

I read that it would be the most straightforward way to do
everything in UTF-8 because it handles well special characters so
I've tried to set up a simple testing environment. Besides I use CF
MX7 and my hosting provider creates the dsn for me so I think the
db driver is JDBC but not sure.
1.) In Dreamweaver I created a page with UTF-8 encoding set
the Unicode Normalization Form to "C" and checked the include
unicode signature (BOM) checkbox. This created a page with the meta
tag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />. I've checked the HTTP header with an online
utility at delorie.com and it gave me the following info:
HTTP/1.1, Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8, Server:
Microsoft-IIS/6.0
2.) Then I put the following codes into the top of my page
before everything:
<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding = "utf-8">
<cfset setEncoding("URL", "utf-8")>
<cfset setEncoding("FORM", "utf-8")>
<cfcontent type="text/html; charset=utf-8">
3.) I wrote some special Hungarian chars
(<p>őű</p>) into the page and they displayed
well all the time.
4.) I've created a simple MySQL db (MySQL Community Edition
5.0.27-community-nt) on my shared hosting server with phpMyAdmin
with default charset of UTF-8 and choosing utf8_hungarian_ci as
default collation. Then I creted a MyISAM table and the collation
was automatically applied to my varchar field into wich I stored
data with special chars. I've checked the properties of the MySQL
server in MySQL-Front prog and found the following settings under
the Variables tab: character_set_client: utf8,
character_set_connection: utf8, character_set_database: latin1,
character_set_results: utf8, character_set_server: latin1,
character_set_system: utf8, collation_connection: utf8_general_ci,
collation_database: latin1_swedish_ci, collation_server:
latin1_swedish_ci.
5.) I wrote a simple insert form into my page and tried it
using both the content of the form field and a hardcoded string
value and even tried to read back the value of the
#FORM.special_char# variable. In each cases the special Hungarian
chars changed to "q" or "p" letters.
Can anybody see something wrong in the above mentioned or
have an idea to test something else?
I am thinking about to try this same page against a db on my
other hosting providers MySQL server.
Here is the to the form:

How to replace text with vector image in 3d space

Hello,
I want to replace the text in this template http://vimeo.com/15026094 with a vector image logo.
Any ideas would be helpful. Btw, I have CS4.
Thanks,
td

I finally took a look at your Vimeo example and I'd guess that the animation of the text was created with Text Animators and range selectors. As Mylenium said, and as I said
Reveal all of the animated properties that you want to transfer to your new layer. Usually pressing the U key will suffice.
Note: Text animations and shape animators will be ignored unless the new layer is a text or shape layer.
You need read up on Text Animators so you can understand them.
Type a question in the search field at the top right corner of After Effects.
And you'll find all of these resources. (providing you have the Adobe Help preferences set to search the web)
Animation presets will save all animated properties applied to a layer, but they will only apply the keyframes to properties that exist on the layer. Text Animators only exist in text layers so you'll have to animate your logo by hand or grab yourself a font creation tool and recreate your logo as a font.

Replace text with images

Hi,
I'm using a script found here, to replace @equ001.pdf@ with the corresponding image, same for eq002 etc.
This script works more or less ok for me.
Sometimes, it removes some image names without replacing the image, sometimes it was leaving some "@" here and there.
Sometimes, it's giving me an error on the "place image" code, saying it cannot find the image, giving it's path ending with the grep expression $2 and doesn't work at all.
Sometimes it does part of the job, stops, gives the same error as above, and continues to work when I click ok.
Today, it didn't worked on a document. I copied the text to work on into a new InDesign document an there, it worked (but in two times).
Is there any other way of doing this ?
if(app.documents.length != 0){
    var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ('Choose a folder with images');
    if(myFolder != null){
        // reset the Find/Change dialog
        app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
        // formulate a grep search string
        app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '@.+?@';
        // find all occurrence, last one first
        f = app.activeDocument.findGrep (true);
        for (i = 0; i < f.length; i++){
            // construct file name
            name = f[i].contents.replace (/@/g, '');
            // place the image
            var placedObjects = f[i].insertionPoints[0].place (File (myFolder.fsName + '/' + name));
    // delete all @??@ codes
    app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
else{
   alert('Please open a document and try again.');

You should process the found instances back to front:
for (i = f.length-1; i >= 0; i--)

Replace text with data while viewing

Hello,
I have data in table like below
id name
1 tanveer
2 ali khan
3 tasir
I want to write a query that display result on my abbreviated vales e.g. tanveer =tan,ali khan=al.
so my query result will be
id name
1 tan
2 al
regards,
tanveer

Use "SUBSTR(name, 1,3)" to display the first 3 characters. However, if your "rule" for abbreviations is more complex (for example "ali khan" becomes "al" instead of "ali" ???) then you'd have to use either of these methods :
1. Store the abbreviated values in another column in the table
2. Use a lookup table to "map" names to abbreviations
3. Write a PLSQL function with the "rules" built into it and taking the current name as an input, returning an abbreviated name
4. Use a simple DECODE function (which can be used only when you have a very small number of distinct "name" values to hardcode into the function call).

Captivate 7 - Windows 7

I am using CP 7 and Word 2010 and some really strange fonts including Neurpol, etc. Anyway it worked perfectly for five of my six modules (projects). For one however, the import affected no change so I cleared my preferences (a trick Iearned from youi), and the import worked perfectly.
Altogether I had approximately 800 replacements. Doing it manually would have been a nightmare! Especially given that Captivate does not highlight the word when found (at least in my version-instance of CP 7).
Thanks for replying!

Replace text with wildcard in the middle

I am looking to change several config file keys that have server names in the format
<server>server01</server>
<server>server02</server>
<server>server03</server>
I would like to change all of the server tags to contain the same server, for example
<server>server04</server>
Is there any way I can use wildcards to replace all of server 01, 02, 03 etc with server04? Thanks!

Let me clarify the format, I basically want to to replace anything in the server tag with a consistent replacement. The actual server names will vary and do not follow a format of Server##
For instance I'd like to change
<server>qwerty001</server>
<server>s1234567</server>
and
<server>11111111</server>
all with
<server>newservr</server>
I wanted to use the actual tags to match as the server names will not follow a standard and I'd only like one replace statement to change them all. I tried a couple variations of what you posted but haven't had any luck getting it to work.
