Problems importing Hebrew text

I cut and pasted Hebrew text into MS Word from a Hebrew Word Processing Program (Davka 6). I then imported the text from Word into ID CS4 Standered. In about every third word a vowel sign under a letter dissappeared and was replaced with a box in middle of the word. I tried cutting and pasting from MS Word and got the same result. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Switching fonts doesn't help. (The font I used is DavidD) Thank you!

The only thing that got displaced was the hyphens in the text which
turned into superscripts.
That would be correct. They are called "makaf"s. The correct position
for hyphens (makafim) in Hebrew is at the x-height.

Problems importing tagged text

IDD CS5.5, 7.5.2
what I do
prepare IDD tagged text file, using DOS/Windows line ends and ANSII encoding
open IDD CS5.5 file with formatted content
select all content
File > Place InDesign tagged text file, using "show list of problem tags" option
what I get
no angle brackets imported, no errors in the list of problem tags …
74 paragraphs, all using the first paragraph style specified in the tagged text
I wish IDD tagged text were as easy to get on with as FrameMaker's MML … that would also make it easier for me to start with one tagged source file and use the content in different applications with a minimum of effort. Any tips on _exactly_ what has to be done to placate the IDD Import goblins welcome!

Give this script a try:
// DESCRIPTION: This InDesign script reads the tags of an imported MML file and applies their corresponding paragraph styles.
// USAGE: Place the MML file in InDesign. Using the Text tool, select all or part of the imported text. Run this script.
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
if (app.documents.length != 0){
//If the selection contains more than one item, the selection
//is not text selected with the Type tool.
if (app.selection.length == 1){
//Evaluate the selection based on its type.
switch (app.selection[0].constructor.name){
   case "Character":
   case "Word":
   case "TextStyleRange":
   case "Line":
   case "Paragraph":
   case "TextColumn":
   case "Text":
    convertMML(app.selection[0]);
   break;
   default:
    alert("Please select all or part of the text using the Text Tool.");
   break;
} else {
alert("No valid selection.");
function convertMML(theSelection) {
// this sequence collects the names of the paragraph styles in the MML file
var theContent = theSelection.contents;
var theParagraphs = theContent.split("\r");
var theParagraphStyles = [];
for (var i = 0; i < theParagraphs.length; i++) {
    if (theTag = theSelection.paragraphs[i].contents.match(/<!DefineTag (.+?)>/)) {
      theParagraphStyles.push(theTag[1]);
// ********* this sequence adds dummy paragraph styles in the document, if necessary
for (var i = 0; i < theParagraphStyles.length; i++) {
var currentStyle = theParagraphStyles[i];
        try { myDocument.paragraphStyles.add({ name: currentStyle }) } catch(err){};
// ********* This sequence set the preferences of the Grep queries
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = true;

app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
// ********* The action begins here
// ********* This sequence removes spaces and/or TABs in the beginning of the lines

// ********* This sequence removes the header and the paragraph declarations
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '((^<MML>\\r)|(^<!DefineTag .+?>\\r))';
app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = '';
myDocument.changeGrep();
// ********* Now that everything is cleared up and in place, we can make the required changes
for (var i = 0; i < theParagraphStyles.length; i++) {
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
var currentStyle = theParagraphStyles[i];
var theGrepString = '^<' + currentStyle + '>';
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = theGrepString;
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = myDocument.paragraphStyles.itemByName(currentStyle);
myDocument.changeGrep();
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

It worked in your sample. To install it, select the text between the multi-hyphens lines, copy it to a text editor, save it with the ".js" or ".jsx" extension and put it on your Scripts Panel folder.
To run it, place the MML in InDesign as unformatted text, select everything with the Text tool and double click the script in the Scripts panel. All the tags will be eliminated and the paragraphs will be formatted according with the MML tags. Be aware that this script doesn't contemplate character styles and any other formatting; only paragraph tags, like your sample.
Hope it helps.

Selectively ignore Problem Tags Dialog while importing Tagged Text in CS5.5

Hi
My script imports tagged text and places it in selected frames. Due to the tag creation process used, I occasionally get a "Ignoring character level attribute termination tag "<cTracking:>" found without the corresponding character level attribute application tag "<cTracking:value>"
Since it's not a problem I can ignore this specific error -- but I don't want to turn off ALL problem tag error checking because occasionally there are serious errors that I DO want to see.
Is there a way to tell ID to ignore this specific error?
Thanks
Akiva

UNfortunately the original ascii files uses a <D> code to return to the default settings -- and since that occasionally includes resetting the tracking to 0 I need to include the "<cTracking:>" tag.
I could obviously fix it by adding a "<cTracking:0>" to all the codes -- but that seems like it could cause more problems.
I can preprocess the ascii code to eliminate the excess codes -- but that increases processing time for something which happens only occasionally and is non-problematis in practice.

Importing PSD Text Problem

Hi All,
I have searched high and low through Google for an answer to the following problem - but to no avail.
Basically i am importing a PSD banner design into Flash CS4 professional.
I've used the import to stage option and have selected place layers at original position and have selected import this text as editable text.
The text layers are imported and are created as static text.
This is hard to describe - but my problem is as follows.
The imported text layers are roughly the same "physical" size as the original. However the text properties in flash show that ALL the imported text is 10.4pt. This figure is wrong as the text size varies in the design.
Another way of putting it is >
18pt text in the original photoshop document is approximately the same "physical" size in Flash but the flash character size setting is 10.4pt
30pt text in the original photoshop document is approximately the same "physical" size in Flash but the flash character size setting is also 10.4pt !
Ok now i'm guessing your thinking i haven't selected the text object and thats why the character size property is not changing. And that 10.4pt must of been a previous setting i've used. Thats not the case though! I have selected the text object and even gone down to highlighting it just to double check.. The character property still remains at 10.4pt.
If anyone can throw any light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
PS the original photoshop document has a resoultion of 72 pixels/inch. Presumably this would mean that the photoshop point size should be one to one with the flash import. Ie 18pt text in photoshop should be 18pt in flash?

Hi,
OK i found the problem.
If the text created in photoshop has been transformed at any point in the design process photoshop seems to remember it's original point size in the document.
This can be seen in photoshop when copying the transformed text (by highlighting it - rather than layer copy) and pasting it into a new box. The text returns to it's original size before the transformation.
SO when importing the transformed text into Flash CS4 - Flash creates an approximation of the transformed size - BUT will set the character size to the pre-transformed point size. In my case it was 10.4pt....
I'm using Flash CS4 Professional with OSX (leopard and snow leopard) - incase this is OS specific..

Problems importing text from EXCEL

Help please!
I'm using CF to import data from an EXCEL sheet that has a
mix of numbers and text onto a SQL Server database. I get a
successful import of numbers, but have problems with the text
import. Specifically, quotes, apostrophes, dashes, etc are
converted to null (?) values--when you output onto a webpage, they
turn into "square boxes". Anyone run into this problem and knows a
fix?
FYI. I can't set up DTS (as some have recommended) since
database server is housed outside my domain.
Also, I would like to keep the format of the text if possible
(ex. breaks, bold, italics, etc.)
Thanks in advance!

Some utilities you can use:
SQL Loader:

External tables:

Problem importing text file with null value

I used the following codes to import a text file and it
worked perfectly.
However, it skipped the TAB (chr(9)) on the imported row when
there is no data (empty string) in one of the columns.
Can someone help? thanks!
sample text file data:
00001 desc1 12.00
00002 25.00
00003 desc2 15.00
Code that I used:
<cffile action="read" file="#FilePath#"
variable="data">
<cfset newLine = chr(13) & chr(10)>
<cfset tabChar = chr(9)>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#data#" index="row"
delimiters="#newLine#">
<cfset cols = listToArray(row, tabChar)>
ID = #cols[1]#
desc = #cols[2]#
price = #cols[3]# <br>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>

There is no perfect way to handle this with out you writing
more complicated code.
A good compromise is to replace this line:
<cfset cols = listToArray(row, tabChar)>
with this:
<cfset cols = listToArray (Replace (row, tabChar &
tabChar, tabChar & "{empty}" & tabChar, "ALL"),
tabChar)>

Problem in bulk import of text files in SQL Server

Hi,
I am using sql server 2012 x 64 and trying to import some text files (tab/ comma separated) and ms access files in sql server tempdb
I am trying bulkinsert on text file but it is inserting all data in a single line in sql while in text file I have 1000K lines,
Then I tried importing other data using openrowset from access file but I am getting following error
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "MSDASC" for linked server "(null)".
can any one please provide some assistance . If I am able to upload the data from flat text file then it will be enough as I am getting data in tsv or csv format
Nitin

If this is a one-off, I think you should try the import/export wizard in SQL Server Management Studio instead. This may be easier to get working.
If you want to this import on a regular basis with BULK INSERT, we need to see the CREATE TABLE statement for your table and a sample file. Best if you can upload the file on Skydrive, Dropbox or similar, as the exact bytes matters.
To connect to an Access database, you use the ACE provider. Never heard of MSDASC before.

Importing Arabic text from an XML file

Importing text from an XML file to appear as text in Flash
works in English, however if the text I want to import is in
Arabic, when I test the movie there is no text at all.
Is there some particular syntax to preface the Arabic text?
I'll want to import text from XML in other languages too.
(French)
I'd cut and pasted some Arabic text into the XML file that
displays pictures and text in the "slideshow.fla" (
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/applications/jpeg_slideshow_xml/jpeg_slideshow_xml03.ht ml)
Substituting Arabic text for English text, editing the XML
file with Dreamweaver.
Any ideas as to how I might achieve my objective of importing
Arabic text into Fash?
I'd started developing my prototpe in Macromedia Director 7,
and then Director MX, but I have not found a suitable Arabic font
that I can embed that will allow me to display Arabic fonts in
Adobe Director. I have the Arabic text in a Word document.
I've dicovered that my Flash MX Pro and Dreamweaver both
support Arabic fonts, but I want to import text from an XML file.
I'd prefer using cast libraries and cast members, but I don't
know of an equivalent in Flash to what I'm comfortable with in
Director.

Oh so many questions. You probably aren't going to like the
answers. I have Flash MX04 pro (aka Flash 7) and things made a big
jump between MX (aka 6) and MX04. If you only have MX, there might
not be a way to do this. All my advice is based upon MX04 or
higher.
It is possible to do complex languages in Flash. My
experience is with Hindi and I've helped a few folks here with
Arabic.
You won't be able to use text from Microsoft Word – at
least I don't think so. The XML file will need to be saved in the
UTF-8 format. I think Word uses its own scheme and won't work. But
I'm not a Word expert. Something like Text Edit (Mac) or WordPad
(PC) should be able to save a UTF-8 file.
The next problem is you mention "suitable Arabic font that I
can embed." AFAIK, you can't embed any of the complex scripts in
Flash. You just have to rely on the end user having appropriate
fonts installed and enabled. Most operating systems from 2000 on do
have this – although some folks like to remove them to save
space.
Next issue will be line composing. I've found that when using
anything above the normal Latin range that Flash suddenly forgets
how to make a line fit into a text area. It will just break things
in the middle of words and not even notice the spaces between
words. I've written a little snippet of code that "composes" the
lines. It works well with Hindi and folks here have used it with
Arabic and not come back saying that it doesn't work. Search the
forums (both the Flash and Actionscript) if you can't find it I'll
dig it out when I get home.
So here is the checklist:
Make sure the XML is saved in UTF-8
Import the XML file
In Testing environment go Debug–>List variables.
Does it show up correctly there?
Does it show at all in a text field?
Use the "composer" to make the lines break.

How to import a text layer on multi-page document?

Hi All,
I have a slight problem and was wondering if there is a quicker solution?
I'm working with acrobatproX
I have been sent two pdf's form different sources. The first document is a 4c layer and the second is a translated text layer and
I need to combine the two to check that the text is setup correctly and doesn't over run any images.
I understand that I could import each text layer to a single page of the 4c but as it is a 256 page book?
Is there a quicker solution than the one page at a time method?
Many Thanks

In PSE, to draw an empty circle use the elliptical marquee tool and hold down shift while you drag to constrain it to a circle. That will give you an empty selection, then go to Edit>Stroke (outline) selection. A window appears where you can choose the width and color of the stroke.
However, I'm not understanding why you would want to create your business card in PSE rather than in Pages or equivalent. Is there a special reason for this?
EDIT As for the text file, it would be simpler just to retype it in PSE, since it can't be very much text. Remember that PSE doesn't do all the fancy things with text that Pages can, although it can do some things (like warping) that Pages can't.
You could activate the text tool and use copy/paste, but you'll lose most of the formatting.

Problem importing CSV or tab-delimited file into Address Book

I am trying to import a text file (tab delimited) or csv file into address book. The files are created in Excel and consist 8 columns with address info (first name, last name, street, city etc). For the sake of simplicity, the file only contains 2 records - so all in all 3 rows with data where the first row contains the headers as described above.
I am perfectly able to import the fields first name, last name using Address Book's text import feature. However, as soon as I try to map Address Book's address field (Home, work or other) to my text file's headers, the import wizard stops responding. I can still scroll through the records with the left and right error, but the record count is screwed up ("-3 of 2") and clicking the OK button doesn't result in anything.
So I am able to import the names but not the addresses - so I better rename the Address Book to Name Book
Any clue of what's going wrong?

I've been wrestling with the exact same problem. I have come to a solution, though serendipitously. The address variables belong to a group say address Office.
1 - I creted a column with address Office which clued in AddressBook the the existence of the data for +address Other+ (and it assigned the columns ot the proper data)
2 - address book does have an entry of address with all group elements of same colour, normally. I reassign address other to address office
3 - I also assign address office (in right-hand column) to address office.
At this point I have two groups of address office
4 - I indicate to the second group 'do not import'
5 - Then hit OK
It seems that this loop is necessary to instantiate the proper group name to the group of variables. Why? who knows. Bad UI? Clearly. Apple engineers should've thought about it before? no kidding...

Problems importing Thunderbird Mailbox into Mail

I am having problems importing my Thunderbird mailboxes into Mail. I won't go into the many problems and issues I had to solve (but there were many) but would ask if anyone can help me solve the one I still have.
In Mail I used the Import Mailboxes command, located the Thunderbird profile in my Home directory and imported it. I may have done this some time ago, but in any case, when I decided to start using Mail as my main email client this week I only had emails up until 6th November 2008.
Now I find it impossible to import the rest of my Thunderbird Inbox - only the sub-folders show up and Mail does not let me import the emails in the main inbox.
How can I get the remaining emails?

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Text file import to text area

Hello,
I have a problem with a task. I want to import a text file content to a text area in application express, but i dont't know how can i do this.
Grateful for a solution with this problem.

A workarea is only a view on the repository. Therefore it doesn't make sense, (infact it is not possible) to copy objects between workareas.
The workarea contents are governed by its rules. You need to make sure the diagram and diagram contents (in a versioned world the rules should define
the correct versions of the objects required) are covered by the WA rules.

Problem importing photos in Aperture

Having problem importing pics from finder into Aperture. When I click import and follow the path to the folder holding pics, "processing" icon spins briefly but nothing appears on screen. Folder holds at most 100 pics so I don't think thats the problem. Problem has occurred in the past but usually clears after several attempts - not this time.

Shift-command-4 will bring up the screen saver crosshairs. Place the mouse over the Aperture window and press the space bar the crosshairs turninto a camera (this will take a shot of the whole window it is over) then click the mouse.
Use the camera icon in the text window to attach the image to the post:

Problem Importing Footage into AE CS5.5

I'm having problems importanting 'avi' video from my Vado HD into AE CS5.5 - the videos playback just fine in Windows Media Player but when imported into After Effects the clip is greyed out & only the audio track is available. I can't understand the problem as the codec must be installed for the Media Player to play the files & I have checked this by loading the footage into GSpot with this result: Codec H264. Name H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. Installed. Really hope some one can help me with this.

Thank you for all your help Mylenium.
I'd already tried MPEGStreamclip with no joy - loads the footage in much the same as AE does [greyed box] & couldn't figure a successful way to convert it.
I was baffled by the wall of text relating to ffmpeg & couldn't figure out how to install/run it let alone convert any footage.
SUPER© was the golden nugget - not much trouble to install & find enough reference online to successfully convert my footage - many thanks.
