Moving selected objects up and down with keyboard is automaticly applying a colour fill.
Hi,
My InDesign is strangely applying a colour fill when i move an objects up or down using the directional arrow in my keyboard. If the colour pallet is open. Nudging an object up makes the pallet disappear on the first press. It then reappears on the second press while filling the object (text frame) with black. This is instensly frustrating. How can I stop this? Suggestions would be very appreciated.
I have already reset the preferences.
Cheers,
Thanks for your reply.
I fixed the problem by replacing the keyboard!
Cheers,

I have to ask if you reset the prefs uing one of the methods in this thread: Replace Your Preferences If not, there's a good chance you left out one of the files, so please try again using one of the listed methods. And please tell us the OS and your version of ID, including the patch level. Obviously this is not normal behavior. It sounds as if the Swatches panel has focus when you are pressing the arrow keys.

Responded to pop up to download iCloud. Selected sync calender and contacts with Outlook during setup. Now my contacts have disappeared from Outlook on my pc. Any chance or recovering?
Hi
Thanks for your comment. Do you currently tether through your BB? I can get access to the internet to use my Outlook but when I try to sync by contacts and calendar, I am unable.
Is your set-up similar? -
My wireless mouse has stopped scrolling up and down. I have checked my settings and everything looks good. Any suggestions on what else to check?
Hi:
I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again. The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair. If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected. If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin.
Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables. I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger. I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one. If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense). I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items. When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens. The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info." At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section. You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad.
After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options). Me being me, I try never to erase anything.

'select objects: click and drag to select several objects' doesn't work
I have recently upgraded to Office 2010, and have the same problem as
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/thread/75270638-e02b-4a78-b291-043abbca04ae?prof=required
When I use Select - Select Objects in the Editing part of the ribbon to select multiple drawing shapes, it no longer works like in office 2007. I can't drag a rectangle in the document to select objects within an area.
I would have guessed this is the same problem as the link I refer to, but I'm not running the beta version of 2010. It seems not to be solved.
Anything I can do to fix this?I have just registered so I could reply to this thread.
The registration process was very ... aehm ... frustrating, I was only able to fill in the correct Captcha after about 10 ties. But ... this is not unexpected, when working with a Microsfoft product. How am I supposed to know whether that bloody captcha
wants me to to write '4Yp8' or '4yP8'. There is no way to tell. You can distinguish capital letters when it is something like A, a or H, h, but not between y and Y or P and p.
I would like to thank all the posters for suggested workarounds. They work. Kinda - sorta ... . I was able to finish the editing of large picture (consisting of many graphics objects) that HAS to be made in word (My boss said so). All your tips saved
me *hours* of frustration.
I would like to tell Microsoft programmers AND their managers, that *if* the quote in the second post is correct:
================
The work needed to make the object selection work as it did in Word 2007 was out of scope for this release. It's not as
simple as using the same feature that existed in the last version since we upgrading our graphics/art features; the way the shapes/objects need to be selected is different than how "old" graphics/art is selectable in Word 2007.
That said, the "select object" tool that exists in Word 2010 should allow you to select individual shapes. You can select
multiple shapes holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key while clicking shapes. You might ask how this is different than selecting shapes without turning on "select objects"; the answer to that would be to allow you to select shapes that are "behind" text, or more
easily select rotated shapes, etc.
================
You are bunch of incompetent amateurs.
If I used such lame excuse for missing important functionality at work, I would be very soon replaced by a more competent programmer.
This time I am not a programmer, I am AN USER. And, as an user I do not care if your internal data structure for new objects doesn't let you do something easily. Find a way to implement that feature or change the data structure. Period. -
5th gen iPod won't mount on G5 and screws with keyboard!
Is it since the itunes upgrades? I don't know, but I only use my iPOd rarely and so was surprised on plugging it into the computer that it didn't mount on the desktop
restarted: not only does it not mount but the keyboard+mouse has become unresponsive - seriously weird!
Checked all cable conections
had to force shut down
restarted: keyboard works but intermittantly,repaired permissions. Restarted - no change al locked up
Forced shut down
Removed ipod - restarted -everything is fine
except the iPOd which is totally unresponsive and is ON with the 'do not disconnect' sign
I guess it'll stay that way til the batterydies - I hope it isn't completely done for!
any ideas?Did a search in Apple knowledge base and

Solved it -
I just updated to Firefox 6.0 with my windows 7 64bit OS. As soon as it was installed, pages began making quick moves up and down just a half inch or so when I use the scroll wheel on my Logitech MX620 mouse. When I use the scroll wheel, it does scroll, but when I stop scrolling, the page bounces up and down a half inch a few times before the page stops moving.
I found a temporary fix, go into Logitech Setpoint and uncheck the box "Enable Smooth Scrolling" in the pointer and scrolling settings. It will make scrolling slightly less smooth but at least the web pages stop bouncing up and down on their own.

Page Up and Down with space bar
After I installed Safari 3.0.5, when I press the space bar typing this post, the web page goes down. I want to know if somebody else get the same problem, and how do I prevent that? or maybe is a new bug.
With Safari 3.0.4 this keyboard shortcut works ok. (page up and down) but not when typing.
Thanks,I have the same problem. Everytime i hit the spacebar in this text box, the browser tries to scroll down and looks like flashing.
Is there any fix for this? It happens in every web page with text box (including the google search box).
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to write write a script for Adobe Illustrator (AS or JS) which takes a set of objects and one by one replaces them with a brush style applied to a single point (one anchor path) or a symbol instance. Needs to be accurate as it's a graph with 300 'points'.
Looking for help with the following tasks:
Selecting all the paths belonging to a particular layer named "Replace". (Even if User input to a dialogue is required I only know how to use layer item numbers)
How to get the central co-ordinates of a small path that makes a shape like a triangle, square, circle or diamond. Some of the sets are compound paths but they are all symmetrical but for the triangle and I want the centre (X,Y) to assign as properties for the Brush anchor point or Symbol anchor point.
How to change layers from one layer (containing the set of paths) to a new drawing layer (where script will create the symbols/brush instances)
What I'm also wondering:
Would it be best to iterate the sample set and get cords and draw create the new symbol instance (possibly in a new layer and possibly delete the originating path) one by one as it were? Or be best to run through all the points and create a data record of all the co-ordinates then iterate a second time and create all the objects using the co-ordinates for symbol (X,Y) anchor properties
All I have to work from is the sample Adobe Script that creates a tree symbol the duplicates it around the edges of the page. Not quite there yet :-)
One of the reasons I'm doing this is that I can then stretch the graph to expose the data and not have to transform each to get the shapes back into shape but mainly because some of the paths are very jaggy and ugly out of the stats program (Excel?!).
Sample File: link
Before is like this: After is like this:Jaggy like this

Moving datagrid rows up and down
I have a datagrid and I want to be able to move one row at a time, up or down. What would be the best way to make this happen? Is there a built in function for this?
I currently want to be able to select a row and then push an up or down button to move it. Could I just take the dataProvider and get the items current index and do an addItemAt(new index);

I have written this code simply for the up. You can write similarly for the down. Pls check this code.Let me know if you have any issue.

Scrolling up and down with ctrl + i and ctrl + k
I would like to set scrolling to ctrl + i and ctrl + j for up and down scroll respectively. Is there any way to customize these?
Ctrl+I (web console) and Ctrl+J (K?) are already used for different actions and it might not be possible to remap them in such a way that they will always work to scroll the page.

Jancode2---sum $300
Laaaaa-------$100
bbbbb-------$200
as showing exsmple,
the sameitem(Jancode) value are same area and sum is separetated as correctly then do drill up, but the reslut of sum is 600 which I don't want the double result like example. I want to make correct result(sum) such as 300 which means not summing double item value as 1item value.
does anybody know what I should do with it or has any idea for it??
I really need it know ASAP if it possible to do it or not and also if I can do,
please tell the how to do it.
Thank you for reading.Usually you can tailor your antennas to the coverage pattern you need. AP placement, antennas, and power level are best determined pre-install by a good, comprehensive site survey.
It may be possible to change your antennas to higher gain types (i.e., 180 degree patch or sector antennas instead of Omnidirectional rubber ducks).
Be advised though that changing to higher gain antennas will also change their coverage pattern; you might reach farther in one direction but less in another. Each antenna should have a chart that describes the side profile and overhead profile of the radiation pattern.
Running in mixed mode (b & g) will reduce your throughput, but it shouldn't affect your range. The brief version is that it takes time to switch modes, and the AP has to notify clients on one protocol that there's activity happening on the other protocol ... it all takes time & bandwidth.
Both are the same frequencies and have the same basic coverage.
CCX (Cisco Client Extensions) should not affect your client's range or throughput; they are extensions - if you don't use them, they are pretty much ignored.
Each vendor has there own "formula" for when to roam to the next AP. Some vendors use Inter Access Point Protocol (IAPP) to communicate between the old AP and the new AP so the handoff happens in a coordinated fashion. Using a single vendor for all of your APs (at least in the same / adjacent neighborhood) increases your chances of a smooth handoff.
Good Luck
