Multi-select and change only certain words in a text box to different font - possible?

In Word I can select a number of words in a sentence or paragraph by holding the Shift key (PC, natch!) and then bold all of them at the same time, etc. Can't make this happen in inDesign - am I missing something simple?
Need to take a list like the one below and bold only the dates, using the bold version of the font I'm using - thereby actually changing fonts.
June 1 Something
June 25 Something else
July 24 Something else entirely
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi,
John is right.
However, I advise you to take a look at HighlightGrep, [JS] written by Roland Dreger, with an amazing "Live Mode" option that allows you to see the result of a research (before launching it, of course) while you're building your query … simulating your "selection".
… and, as john said, may be finish the deal with nested styles !

Actually, I did notice the thread age. However, this phenomenon only appeared with mu phone in the last week.
You and I both would hope that it was corrected long ago, but that is evidently not the case.
I added information that will be useful for anyone else encountering my recent situation, now or perhaps in some distant future.
If you are aggravated by notices re: threads over two years old, perhaps you should disengage from the thread in lieu of making
snarky remarks to those of us still getting useful information from them.

XMLP 5.6.2 - Parameters - Both Multi-Select and All-Select Do Not Work

Both Multi-Select and All-Select Do Not Work.
What's up with this behavior?
And when might it be fixed?
BG...

The Multi-Select is now working, not sure what I did wrong earlier. However the "Can select all" option when building the parameter does not work as advertised, though I was able to get around that as well.
Create a Data Model
select LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME from SOME_TABLE where SOME_COLUMN =:SOME_VALUE
OR
select LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME from SOME_TABLE where SOME_COLUMN in (:SOME_VALUE)
Create a LOV
Name = LOV_SOME_COLUMN
Type = SQL Query
select distinct SOME_TABLE.SOME_COLUMN as SOME_COLUMN from SCHEMA.TABLE
Create a Parameter
Identifier = PARM_SOME_COLUMN
Data Type = String
Default Value = NULL
Parameter Type = Menu
Display Label = LOV_SOME_COLUMN
List Of Value = LOV_SOME_COLUMN
Option
Multiple Selection - Checked
Can select all - Checked
Refresh other parameters on change - Checked
Then test your report. Select "All" from the LOV and click view. Result - No Rows Returned.
Selecting a "Single" or "Multiple Values" values from the LOV does work.
The way I am getting around the problem is to uncheck the "Can select all" and then manually select all the values in the LOV in order to get the "All".

Using a column twice in a dashboard prompt -- multi-select and wild-carding

My client is using OBIEE 10.1.3.2; they cannot upgrade at this time. However, they want to be able to enter both a list of values and a wild-card search for additional values at the same time for a single column in a dashboard prompt.
Since they cannot upgrade, they do not have the wild-card search feature of the enhanced multi-select prompt feature of 10.1.3.3 and later releases.
Has anyone found another method to do this, perhaps by using a column twice in a dashboard prompt or in separate dashboard prompts on the same dashboard apge, in order to OR the results of a multi-select and an edit box (with wild-card pattern-match entry)? I suspect that will not work -- that the results sets of one prompt for a column will override any other prompt result sets for the same column.
Has anyone found another way to do this, prior to release 10.1.3.3?

Yes, it is possible.
This is how to do it:
In your report you need to add two filters on the same column and combine them with OR.
First filter: is prompted.
Second filter: is like presentation_variable
Then protect this filter!* This will make that your prompt will be filtered on the pres. variable and that it won't be overwritten by another prompt.
Now create your dashboard prompt:
First add your column with an edit box and attach the presentation variable to it.
Then edit the formula of the column, so it will not reference to the column anymore. (Which isn't needed, since the value will be set to the pres. variable.)
Then add the same column with a multi-select.
Then test it and check your results.

Stijn

After scanning my document and converting to Microsoft Word the size of characters are different

After scanning my document and converting to Microsoft Word the size of characters are different and things like puntuation are distorted. How do I get the uniformity like the original?

Of course what lands in the Word file will differ from the viewed picture/image of text created by the scanner.
(The output of all scanners is always an image file. For an image of textual content the best output file format is TIFF.)
So you scan the hardcopy of text.
The scanner output image (picture) is brought into PDF.
At this point the only PDF page content that you can export to Word is the image (nope, no "text" just the image).
Consequently you use Acrobat's OCR feature to do OCR of the image of text.
With a decent paper source, proper resolution and a black and white image you'll get acceptable accuracy of recognition of the pictures of the characters.
(the Optical Character Recognition)
Acrobat's Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) provides output that used text rendering mode 3 (no fill, no stroke for the glyphs).
So, invsible / hidden text.
The third OCR method is ClearScan.
You could play with each of the three to see what goes into a Word file.
Might try export to RTF, DOC and DOCX as well.
Anyway -- What is exported is the OCR output; Not the image of text.
And, of course, the image of the text is not the imprint on the paper that was scanned.
Each step to the way you have some deviation.
Once you have the exported PDF content in a Word file you can use Word to cleanup as desired / needed.
OR
Prop up the hardcopy and transcribe to a Word file.
Be well...

Hit "Save as Adobe pdf" and pic came out on top of text box.

Win 7.0 64 bit, acrobat 11.0.10 word 2010, created a .docx file woth a pic and a tex box on top of pic.- hit Save as Adobe pdf and pic came out on top of text box.

Hi wmckb,

Hope to hear from you.

Feature Request - Illustrator - Multi-select and rearrange a set of art boards at once.

I've been hoping for align and multiple select ability for art boards for several years. The issue is that when you're using a large number of art boards arranged in a grid for a large app design project or similar, rearranging art boards is a huge time waster. Repositioning is difficult as there is no way to multi-select or drag several at a time. Art boards also get mis-aligned easily, so being able to use existing align tools for art boards themselves would be an expected, easy to grasp, evolution. (and much faster than doing them one at a time) I often have large illustrator files with a spread of assets ready for export. Being able to make these files orderly and easily viewed by others is crucial.
Also, numbering...
Usually what happens is that we'll drag-duplicate a screen to alter, but they end up with an art board numbers that are out of sequence in the design, making the export out of order as well. It would be awesome to directly click to alter an art board's assigned number.

I have a related FR, so I decided to integrate it with the above, which I also like. The FR is for: Smarter Finds with and/or logic and Smarter Smart collections with And/Or logic. For example, I want to find (or to make a smart collection of) all the photos that are in a folder which meet these criteria:
Their file name contains the word "Cuba" AND they have modifications (in the develop module)
OR
Their file name contains the word "Cuba" AND the file extension is .psd
This is because most photos in this folder are NEF, some of those have been developed in LR, and some have been exported to Photoshop to be worked on. It's frustrating not being able to make this preselection to find ALL the photos I've worked on. Anyone agree we need and/or/not/but logic and to be able to combine criteria in a find request?

Can I create action to Save As... and change only one character of the original file name?

I'm working on a group of files(25-28) at a time. I have to save each one as a photoshop .raw file and change the first character of the file name. the rest of the file name must remain the same. I then close the original file with no changes. I tried to create an action for this. The only problem is that the next file overwrote the file I used to create the action. Is it possible to creat an action to save as... and keep the file name of the new file but chage the first character to the same one used in the recording?

Good day!
I think what you are describing is not possible with Actions.
Scripting would be an option, but more convenient might be simply saving the files with unchanged names and then edit the names of the whole bunch in Bridge in one go (Tools > Batch Rename).
