Pages 5.1 - no more change table to text?

I'm annoyed that obviously the function to change from text to table and v.v. won't exist no longer?

If you had Pages ’09 v4.3, before the Pages v5+ install, it can be found in /Applications/iWork, unless you removed it.
Pages v5+ is an unofficial rolling beta of missing features and functionality. Only Apple knows the time table, and what features will be updated over time.

Change table data without tabular report

Hi,
I am very new the APEX, and PL/SQL for that matter, but hope this is not too newbie.
I am trying to make a page with a report where I can change table values by ediiting text in report columns. I have tried to use tabular report but since my source pl/sql includes a search etc I am not able to write SQL which is accepted as SQL updatable report.... this is my source which works with search:
declare
q varchar(32767);
begin
--Search with no text
if(:p1_report_search IS NULL) then
q := 'select * from tpd_delivery_detail';
--Search According to criteria
else
q := 'select *
from tpd_delivery_detail
where upper(trim(:p1_report_search)) '||:P1_OPERATOR||' upper(trim('||:p1_in||')) ';
end if;
return q;
end;
So my first question is if it is possible to write this as SQL updatable report, and if how?
Then I have a process which start when a button is pressed which is:
declare
l_colA tpd_delivery_detail.status%TYPE;
l_colB tpd_delivery_detail.usr_comment%TYPE;
begin
for i in 1..apex_application.g_f01.count
loop
select status
, usr_comment
into l_colA
, l_colB
from tpd_delivery_detail
where id = apex_application.g_f01(i);
if l_colA != apex_application.g_f12(i) or l_colB != apex_application.g_f13(i) then
update tpd_delivery_detail
set status = apex_application.g_f12(i), usr_comment = apex_application.g_f13(i)
where id = apex_application.g_f01(i);
end if;
end loop;
end;
In the process I try to to see if any of the two updatable columns are changed and needs updating, and if so update. Here my problem is the apex_application.g_f01(i) which when i is a number refering to the row...cant get the apex_application.g_f01(i) to refer to the data in the report.
My question is how I can use the apex_application.g_f (suspect you can only use for tabular report) or if there is another easy way to do the updates I want?
Best regards
Alex

Is it common to implement TDMS without scrambling sensitive data? => This depends on the customer situation , if you feel that you have very sensitive data in sender system and do not want to expose this data to users in receiver system , then for sure scrambling is the way else leave it .
Or to change table auth groups in one system and not in another?=> I do not understand the need of doing this , can you elaborate a bit more .

Pages '09: Can't use AppleScript for selected text inside tables?

When I run get selection on selected text in a Pages document, I get something like this:
<pre>text from character 1 to character 4 of body text of document id 9943974 of application "Pages"</pre>
When I run get selection on selected text inside a table cell in a table in a Pages document, I get something like this:
<pre>text from character 1 to character 4 of some table of document id 3539679 of application "Pages"</pre>
When I run get selection on selected text inside a table cell in ANOTHER table in the same Pages document, I get the exact same thing. It still says "some" table. So there is no way to distinguish between tables if there are more than one table in the same Pages document.
Am I correct in understanding that this means that most AppleScript commands for manipulating text are unusable inside table cells?
For example, it seems impossible to get the properties of the selection when the selection is selected text inside "some" table. So it's impossible do anything about text styles, etc.
Is AppleScript support in Pages ’09 really that limited, or am I missing something?

The first script below should return the character style of any selection made in Pages ’09, whereas the second script should apply the "XXX" character style to any selection:
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT 1
tell application "Pages"
activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
-- Show the format bar:
if not (pop up button 1 of window 1 exists) then
click menu item "Show Format Bar" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
end if
-- Show the styles drawer and character styles:
if menu item "Show Styles Drawer" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 exists then
keystroke "t" using {shift down, command down}
end if
tell front window
tell checkbox 1 of group 1 of drawer 1 -- “Show or hide character styles.” checkbox
repeat until it exists
delay 0.1 -- wait until the styles drawer is open
end repeat
if description is "show character style" then click
end tell
-- Get the row index (although it is not a property) of the character style:
tell menu button 2 -- “Choose a character style.” menu button
click
set k to 0
repeat
set k to k + 1
if value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" of menu item k of menu 1 exists then exit repeat
end repeat
keystroke return -- hide the menu
end tell
-- Get the character style name:
if k > 1 then set k to k + 1
value of static text 1 of row k of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of drawer 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
--END OF SCRIPT 1
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT 2
set myStyle to "XXX" -- the name of the character style you want to apply
tell application "Pages"
activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Pages"
-- Show the format bar:
if not (pop up button 1 of window 1 exists) then
click menu item "Show Format Bar" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
end if
-- Show the styles drawer and character styles:
if menu item "Show Styles Drawer" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 exists then
keystroke "t" using {shift down, command down}
end if
tell front window
tell checkbox 1 of group 1 of drawer 1 -- “Show or hide character styles.” checkbox
repeat until it exists
delay 0.1 -- wait until the styles drawer is open
end repeat
if description is "show character style" then click
end tell
set characterStyles to value of static text 1 of rows of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of drawer 1
set k to 0
repeat with thisStyle in the characterStyles
set k to k + 1
if thisStyle as text is myStyle then exit repeat
end repeat
-- Apply the character style:
if k > 1 then set k to k - 1
click menu button 2 -- “Choose a character style.” menu button
click menu item k of menu 1 of menu button 2
end tell
end tell
end tell
--END OF SCRIPT 2
I suppose that +paragraph styles+ should work the same.
I'm beginning to know Pages ’09 a little better now.

The weird sliding navigation is Apples pride and joy!
That TOC allows you to slide between chapters, sections and pages.
iBooks Authjor was designed to do what it does and what Apple wanted it to do.
Some things can be changed during the books production, but the " weird navigation" is not something you can change to do what you want.
iBooks Author is does not produce ePubs.. at least not as "ePub" is known from Pages, inDesign etc,.
If you want what is available in ePubs.. then iBooks Author is not the application to produce it.
You could drag a section page above chapter on and create an index type page using book marks for links - but whats the point?
People using iPads and familiar with iBooksAuthors special way of book presentation.. are quite happy its so easy to use.

How do I change the default text for when I open up pages?

How do I change the default text for when I open up pages?

Colin,
You may substitute any text you like for the "Placeholder Text", as it is called, in Pages. Click on the existing placeholder text and type something more to your liking. Do this in as many places as your particular template of interest demands. Then, Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text. Lastly, File > Save as Template.
Now that you have defined a Custom Template to your liking, you can go to Pages Preferences and under the General tab's first section, define the new custom template as your default for each new document.
Regards,
Jerry

Calling javascript upon changing table entry

I would like to update some text fields whenever a user changes certain fields. I need this to occur "on-the-fly" as opposed to having to submit the entire page.
The field being changed as well as the fields being updated are all fields in a table (accessible via HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F0x).
Updating the fields in javascript is no problem. The problem is calling the javascript routine upon changing a "table" field.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Change tables order

Hi
I'm trying to do a java application, using unmanaged ras, which change tables order.
I tried 2 methods but the two of them seems to have a bug.
In the first one I tried to move one table to the end and when i displayed the tabels looked just fine but when I save the report the changes are lost.
In the second I saved the table in a temporary table I removed it (after i erase manually the field from the report just to see if this method works) and then I add the saved table.This method do what I want except the fact that the newtable that I add had other connection info even if i put it the connection info from the erased table.And now is like I select the data from 2 different datasources and I don't want that.I use odbc connection and the old table has
Database DLL : crdb_odbc.dll and the new one has Database DLL:crdb_query.dll and this is not the only difference.
Here I paste part of my code to clarify the things:
public static void main( String[] args )
          init();     //this method initialize the ras server I don't paste
                        //the code because this works just fine and I think is
                        //not rellevant for my problems
          try{
               ReportClientDocument reportClientDocument1 = new ReportClientDocument( );
               reportClientDocument1.setReportAppServer( reportAppSession.getReportAppServer( ) );
               reportClientDocument1.open("rassdk://C:/tmp/bbb.rpt",0);
              changetables(reportClientDocument1,alias );
               reportClientDocument1.saveAs("bbb1.rpt", "rassdk://C:/tmp",1);
               reportClientDocument1.close();
               System.out.println("doc bbb1 saved");
        catch(ReportSDKException ex1){
               ex1.printStackTrace();
          catch(IOException ex2){
               ex2.printStackTrace();
          try{
               ReportClientDocument reportClientDocument1 = new ReportClientDocument( );
               reportClientDocument1.setReportAppServer( reportAppSession.getReportAppServer( ) );
               reportClientDocument1.open("rassdk://C:/tmp/bbb.rpt",0);
              removeaddtable(reportClientDocument1,alias );

          rpt.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().remove(poz);
          rpt.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().add(auxtable);
          System.out.println("change table method complete");
     }catch(ReportSDKException e){
          e.printStackTrace();
public static void removeaddtable(ReportClientDocument rpt,String alias)
     int poz;
     try{
     rpt.getDatabaseController().logon("snr","snr");
     poz=rpt.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().findByAlias(alias);
    if (poz != -1)
         IConnectionInfo ci=rpt.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().getTable(poz).getConnectionInfo();
         Table newTable=(Table)((Table)rpt.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().getTable(poz)).clone(true);
         rpt.getDatabaseController().removeTable(alias);
         TableLinks tl=rpt.getDatabase().getTableLinks();
         newTable.setConnectionInfo(ci);
         rpt.getDatabaseController().addTable(newTable, tl);
         System.out.println("removeaddtable method complete");
     }catch(ReportSDKException ex1){
               ex1.printStackTrace();
I hope you can tell me how should I modify the method changetables or
removeaddtable to obtain what I want.

Hi Jason,
How to change the order of tables within sheets
Make a table active by clicking in it once to select that table, then drag it by the 'bullseye' (top left, I have placed a red circle to show the bullseye):
After dragging the table down:
Table 1 is now below Table 2.
The blue line is an Alignment Guide
Two types of Guide:
1. Menu > View >Show Rulers. Drag Alignment Guides from a ruler to where you want them.
2. Menu > Numbers > Preferences > Rulers > Alignment Guides. Turn on (tick) both guides. That allows you to align objects with *each other* (as well as with the ruler guides). These guides help to align objects left, middle, right, top, bottom.
Alignment Guides do not show unless you are moving an object.
to drag/move table to another sheet in the one file
Not possible in Numbers 3. The Sheets Pane has gone. Instead, select the entire table (click once in the table to make it active, then click on the bullseye). Copy (or Cut if you are brave). Go to another Sheet and Paste.
Also can you change the size of sheet tab width on tab toolbar, so I can see more sheets at once??
No. Let's hope this will be added in future updates. However, you can drag a Sheet tab left or right to reorder them.
Another tip: each Sheet tab shows the contents of that Sheet, with some options such as Duplicate and Delete:

Ian.

Changing Table defaults to Font to Normal, and Align-Vertical to Top - DW 5 (kind of a repost)

Hello,
This is pretty much a reposting of my last 2 questions...
In DW 5, trying to change Table default settings to
- Normal font (right now default is Bold)
- Vertical Alignment to Top (current default is middle) (so that text and lists will start at the top and fill down, like an ordinary document or table in Word)
I have multiple columns across the screen, different categories of events, news, resources, that I will be updating over time.
Ideally I would like to be able to 'simply' type and update the listings as needed (including bolding, indenting, the occasional image), just like in a document. I know this will involve tables, especially when it comes to 'indenting' text under a heading.
Updating a website. My in-progress work-up is here - http://www.wnytrauma.org/index33.html - (I know the coding is probably a mess, but I'm an old dog and this is a new trick).
Thank you,

If you can't find a stylesheet named outline-table-cells.css, it might be a name inserted by my Firebug.
In any case, try adding a rule with these properties in any css that your page uses:
table td, table th {
font-weight: normal;
vertical-align: top;
Note: The default font weight for a table cell (td) is normal
The default font weight for a table header cell (th) is bold.
If you were to use td instead of th you would not need the font-weight: normal property to override the default

Whay after new firefox download all pages load so much more slowly

I have been prompted twice in the last couple of days to download new firefox updats.
Since then, my web pages load very much more slowly than they ever had before. I have tried the usual system maintenance tools with no improvement in efficiency or speed.
The downloading process states it disables quite a few normal operating systems involving Java and Adobe etc. Why?
It seems you are improving firefox at the cost of the rest of the system. How is that supposed to help any web use?

Everything is probably working fine for most of 400 million Firefox users. Whatever the problem is it will probably only affect a few users, and may well be due to something to do with how you have Firefox set up on your computer.
If you are able to provide more information it helps us in trying to help you. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so attaching a couple of screenshots of the problem pages may assist us.
The suggestions in my first post did '''not''' involve installing and uninstalling anything, just simple tests and changes using mouse clicks. In fact I pointed out a reinstall may not solve problems.
(A special clean reinstall, or setting up a new profile does sometimes help, but first of all lets just try to find out first of all what you are seeing on your own computer screen)

I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages! Help!

Take us through this in more detail.
What is the Word file? From a PC?
What version of Word and what is the file extension?
What is it about the text that is different?
When you say fond do you mean font/typeface? If so what font, and is it on your Mac? Is there something special/different about this font?

Say subject A is on top of page 1 and subject B is on top of page 2. As more text is added subject 2 will be pushed to page 3 eventually is there a way to always keep all Subjects on top of the page even it is pushed forward to a new page?

Hi ameryfromny;
We can place a pagebreak before the Heading or Sub-Heading manually prior to or even after creating a Table of Contents. So that the Heading or Sub-Heading is placed always on top of a page.
To create a Table of Contents:
Under Format panel, define paragraph text as Title, Subtitle, Heading, Heading2 ..... and so on for displaying in TOC.
After completion of document writing, place cursor where a TOC is to be displayed.
Insert > Table of Contents > Document
A table of contents generates automatically.

Best ways to create rpd or reports if we have data in more fact tables

I have fact and dimensional data in one or more different tables. Then each logical table source represents one data segment.Please suggest me some methods or ways like fragmentation through which i can use them in creating rpd and report and main problem here is facts too large contains 25 million records.But adding tables in BMM layer effecting performance so can anyone other ways doing it in database side.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: user2989722 on Dec 3, 2009 3:09 PM

hi,
For the fragmentation you can create on dimension .The procedure is clearly explained in this blog
http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/01/fragmentation-in-obiee.html
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2007/06/19/obiee-data-modeling-tips-2-fragmentation/
For the performance point of view you can create a Materialized view (based on columns that your report is using) so that it will hit that particluar view instead of hitting whole table(25million records table) please look into this post
Re: Materialized views in OBIEE

How to change the default text title of Detached table/treetable

Hi,
Is anybody know How to change the default text title of Detached table/treetable.
I have already read the post on "http://vtkrishn.com/2010/07/28/how-to-change-the-default-text-title-of-detached-tabletreetable/"
as per this post It will change the title throughout the application.
I wanted to change only for one particular table.
Thanks,
Charu
Edited by: Charu on Sep 13, 2012 4:14 AM

Hi,
please don't double post and instead continue with your original threat. In the previous post you got the correct answer to use skinning. You did not like the solution as it doesn't allow per-instance titles. I agree with this and a logical consequence is to file an enhancement request instead of re-posting the question. I'll file the ER, so no need to follow up for you anymore

I want the g_item_no (repeating group) to have a page break each time LOCATION changes.

You can declare two variables, to hold the previous and current LOCATION values and break the page when it differs.
Or just before your end-for-each, have this code.
<?if:position()!=1 and position()!=last() and LOCATION!=following::LOCATION[1]?><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute><?end if?>
Ensure that its placed in a form field.
This will have a page break when LOCATION changes.
