Pages '09 integrating straight and curly quotes within one file.
I'm doing an edit in Pages and the document has a mix of straight and curly quotes. I can't seem to find a way to get them all the same. Find-and-replace turns some of the quotes backwards (as in 'em for them) Nothing in the archives addresses this.
Look for patterns in search and replace.
Search for a space + " to get the leading quote and " + space to get a trailing quote.
Or get WordServices to fix all this.

How to quickly switch between straight and curly quotes?
I've recently moved from a Windows XP machine with MS Office to a Mac Pro with Pages.
For the kinds of documents I typically work on, sometimes I need to have straight quotes, and sometimes curly quotes. With MS Word, I was able to create a couple of macros that would switch these preferences for me. With these macros linked to an icon in the toolbar, switching between straight and curly quotes was as easy as clicking a button.
Now I'm looking for a way to do this -- or something like it -- with Pages.
I know how to switch back and forth using the preferences menu, of course, but I'm looking for something quicker and simpler, since I often have to make this change several times a day.
Can Automator do something like this? Or is there another way?
-- EricTurn off the auto correction and you can type Curly quotes with:
left single ‘ option ]
right single ’ option shift ]
left double “ option [
right double ” option shift [
If you want the French quotes « and » they are option and option shift |

Endash and curly quote HTML errors
I inherited a large knowledge base at my job that was using
RoboHelp x5. It hadn't been worked on for more than a year when I
started, so the first thing I did was upgrade to RoboHelp 7. (I am
a total Robohelp beginner; been learning on my own since starting
her in Jan. 08) The first time I generated an output and published
the knowledge base in 7, we began to discover the project is
riddled with <&endash;> and <”> HTML
errors. RH x5 version read the endash and curly quotes fine and
displayed the characters.
What can I do now? Is there a global find and replace? What's
also weird is that the endash looks OK in the RoboHelp viewer. The
curly quote does show up wrong in the RH viewer as
<”r;>.
Any help or insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!Thanks for your response, Peter. Don't see the patch you
mention -- could you point me to it? I may not be able to use it
tho, b/c have made lots of edits and updates to our knowledge base
so I can't go back to the old R5 copy at this point.
If not, I will try the Helpware FAR. In looking at their
site, am not sure how it works: do I apply it to the output file or
the RH project files.
Thanks! -
I updated safari to 7.0.3 and pages to 5.2 and can no longer attached files in gmail that are pages or exported to word. Any suggestions?
I have a similar issue.
After updating Pages to 5.2, all Word export documents are 10 times the size they'd normally be.
A normal exported .DOC file that would have been under 200K, is now 1.7MB once exported. !!! ???
This is a major issue with Pages. -
How do I put a DVD in and transfer it as one file to my external?
How do I put a DVD in and transfer it as one file to my external?
What you are referring to is called "ripping". You can use something like HandBrake which is free to do this. HandBrake will not allow you to do this with commercial / encrypted content (e.g. most movies which you might purchase on DVD).

Hello !
As I said in title , I have alot files (e.g. 60 files) and I want to write a code to copy 5 columns (for examples) of special sheet of files and paste them in one file respectively. For perceive it I explained it more below .
Suppose one of my files is simplified as this : http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=00699705919876414523
The name of this file is 2006Oct and assume my excel files are like "2006Oct, 2006Nov,2006Dec,2007Jan ... 2010Dec". At first I should go to "my files" sheet of 2006Oct file and copy columns " A,B,C,D,E,F " that has "PerturbationNumber=1"
respectively and then paste these to a file that is output file and repeat this process for the other files ( 2006Nov and etc ) and paste data in output file sequentially.
I appreciate and look foreward for any help in this issue.

Writing LabVIEW measurements of two loops (Charge cycle and discharge cycle) in one file
Hey,
I was wondering if it is possible to write Labview measurements from two loops (Stacked Sequence Structure) into one file. Currently, it is writing the charging data in one file and discharging data in one file. I have to combine the data everytime to graph the charge and discharge cycles and sometimes there's about 50 cycles and copying and pasting does take up lot of time.
I'll try to upload my vi in a bit
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hey Mike,
I'm very new to Labview, could you please show an example.
btw, I attached my vi and I didn't build it

Open all pages in a PDF and save them as sequential files
I'm trying to make a script that will open all pages in a multi-page PDF and save them as sequential files, but I have had no luck with the simple script in the "Adobe Ilustrator CS5 Reference: JavaScript".
there example to open a PDF to a designated page does not work for me in Illustrator CS 5.
// Opens a PDF file with specified options
var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
pdfOptions.pDFCropToBox = PDFBoxType.PDFBOUNDINGBOX;
pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 2;
// Open a file using these preferences
var fileRef = filePath;
if (fileRef != null) {
var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
if anyone can get me on the right path it would be appreciated.Hi DuanesSFK,
you can open a PDF page on this way (tested with CS3 and 5):
//OpenPDFpage2.jsx
var uILevel = userInteractionLevel;
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
// Opens a PDF file with specified options
var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
pdfOptions.pDFCropToBox = PDFBoxType.PDFBOUNDINGBOX;
pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 2;
// Open a file using these preferences
//var fileRef = filePath;
var fileRef = File("~/Desktop/YourOwn.pdf");
if (fileRef != null) {
var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
app.userInteractionLevel = uILevel;
To open all pages you have to loop through all pages etc.
Easier for you:
Search here in forum for the "open pdf" script (I don't know the exactly name, it was written by CarlosCanto, ) This should always work for you.

IO - Read two image files and put them into one file
Hi,
i have 3 files in all. The two image files and one text file. I need to place the image in the first image file, followed by text in the text file and then the image in the second image file, into one file.
Can anyone tell me how do i go about doing this ?
i tried using fileinputstream and fileoutputstream, which works fine if all the 3 files have text but when the first and the third file have image, the code doesn't give any error but the result file displays only the image from the first file and nothing else.
i am running short of time and need to do this really soon.
if anyone has done anything like this. please let me know,
thanx,
poonamOne approach would be to programmatcally create a single zip/jar file from the three input files. You can use the java.util.zip and java.util.jar packages for this purpose.
The other apprach would be to create a single image by drawing images and text strings on a BufferedImage object.
I think the first approach is preferable because you can easily extract the individual files from the zip/jar file -
Usage of update-bapi and getdetail-bapi within one view
Hello,
i'm a student and i'm new to webdynpro and abap. Im trying to get data through a bapi into some screens and want to update some of these inputfields back through an update-bapi.
I get all the needed data by a getdetails-bapi and can show the data within binded inputfields, but how could i get the infos about which field was changed and how could i implement an update through the update-bapi?
It is possible, that a view with two inputfileds gets the data through the getdetails-bapi and after a change in this fields there will be an update through a update-bapi, after pushing a button?
Could you give me an example code, or could you explane me a way for implementing these?
Thanks for your help!
JohnHi John,
changes made at Contexts are stored in a table WDR_CONTEXT_CHANGE_LIST. So you can retrieve the old and new values from the table.
Please follow the below steps :
1. Create a context node (Ex:Changes) with dict.str wdr_context_change.
2. Then create one subnode under Changes ex(details) with two attributes old_value and new_value with the type of string.
3. Then write the below code at any button action.
DATA: l_ref_componentcontroller TYPE REF TO ig_componentcontroller .
DATA: l_changes TYPE wdr_context_change_list,
l_subnode type ref to if_wd_context_node,
l_subnodedata type if_USERLOG=>element_details.
field-symbols: <change> type wdr_context_change,
<new> type data,
<old> type data.
l_ref_componentcontroller = wd_this->get_componentcontroller_ctr( ).
l_changes = l_ref_componentcontroller->get_changes( ).
data: l_node type ref to if_wd_context_node.
l_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'CHANGES' ).
l_node->bind_table( l_changes ).
loop at l_changes assigning <change>.
if <change>-old_value is not initial and <change>-new_value is not initial.
l_subnode = l_node->get_child_node( index = sy-tabix name = 'DETAILS' ).
assign <change>-new_value->* to <new>.
assign <change>-old_value->* to <old>.
* l_subnodedata-new_value_string = cl_wdr_conversion_utils=>to_string( value = <new> ).
* l_subnodedata-old_value_string = cl_wdr_conversion_utils=>to_string( value = <old> ).
l_subnodedata-new_value_string = <new>.
l_subnodedata-old_value_string = <old>.
* l_subnodedata-new_value_string = 'AC'.
* l_subnodedata-old_value_string = 'CD'.
l_subnode->bind_structure( l_subnodedata ).
endif.
endloop.
So now your context has the changed records.
Thanks. -
Can i keep 1 page open in safari and not have any one close it
Ok so i need to keep a page open in safari for a work thing but it needs to stay open all the time and cannot be closed.
i have a macbook air and i need to ask if there is any program i can use to do that?
kind regards,
SteveGood morning Steve,
It sounds as if you need to keep other people from making changes to your MacBook Air when you are away from it. One way to do this would be to allow the computer to go to sleep after a short period of inactivity, and to require a password to wake it. See this article for how to do this -
OS X Yosemite: Require a password after waking your Mac
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Process for Integrating HD and STD Video in One Sequence?
Here's the situation, I have footage of an event from 2 cameras. The customer wants footage from both cameras in the final video. Naturally when the standard footage is dropped into the timeline it is accompanied with ALOT of black space. What is the best way to eleminate most of the black space? Do I use 2 different timelines and them somehow integrate the 2? Please help!
Either scale the HD source down with the motion effect (best) or scale the SD up to HD dimensions with the motion effect (worst) or use a special plug-in from Redgiant Software (OK but costly).
Since most deliveries are still on DVD, thus SD format, the first option is best. You can also use two different sequences, one with HD and one with SD material and export them separately to SD format, but the drawback is that you can't mix footage from the two cameras. -
