Replace words with images, in a table, using the search/replace tool

Hello everybody
I have a question:
Is it possible to replace words with images, in a table, using the search/replace tool?
My case:
I have a table with about 9000 articles on about 400 pages. In this table there are words which I like to replace with Logos.
Example: The word "DM" should be the Logo "DM" (.eps). This word is about 1200 times in this table.
Is it possible to replace it automatically?
Thank you very much for your helb.
Kind regards Alex

Hello Mr. Werner
Thank you for your reply.
Can I ask you which Version of InDesign do you use?
I use CS 5.5 and there I can't find the change field "other" you told me.
Can you see it on the screenshot? (Sorry it is german...)
Thank you very much for your support.
Kind regards Alex

Inserting an image into a table using the iPad?

I am trying to make an evidence table in pages. I need to insert photographs into a table, next to the related statement. Is it possible to insert a photograph into the table on an iPad as I obviously don't have the 'command' button that others are using. If this is possible I want to be able to insert the picture as a predefined size?

Hi,
Yes, you can do this by using the Word Edit Cell VI under Report Generation>>Word Specific>>Word Tables in your block diagram functions pallette. After creating a table, you can edit specific cells and send the file path of the image saved on your computer to that specific cell. I put together an example that I've attached here as well to help you out with this.

Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document

I have a powershell script that uses a Word document as a template to create signatures that I am pushing out to my organization.
The document is populated with text formatted the way I want the signature to look, that I then do a FindText and ReplaceText on. This works fine for replacing text with text, but I can't figure out how to properly replace some of the holder text with
an image and a link. I found a few posts about adding images to word documents, but none that seem to work properly in this scenario.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Dear BOFH,
You are correct that method I outlined is not for inserting an image into a signature block (which would be in Outlook, not Word). The links you post do certainly deal with outlook signatures, well done... Except that the question was about how to
use a Powershell script to replace text in a Word document with an image. Sure it was framed in the context of creating signatures, but the poster expressed that they already had a method of generating and replacing text, and just needed to know, as
I did, how to do the thing they actually asked.
Please BOFH... Please forgive my audacity in hoping to find a reference (any reference) to how to replace Word text with images via Powershell in a thread titled "Use Powershell to replace text with image in Word document".
This is certainly a scripting question, and even something as simple as "You will need to call the .NET methods for the Word find/replace functionality. Please ask in the Word forums for the correct method to use.
If you need help on calling .NET methods look HTTP ://here"support you offered combined with the contempt you offer in response to my actual substantive help to the actual question asked.
BOFH, you are not better than us, just more arrogant.
Can you please start your own question as this one has been closed. Please see scripting guidelines.

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool? Help!

If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.

Malfunction in generating word report out of an app (using the report generation toolkit)

I placed in my program some features that generate a word report with some graphics and text using the report generation toolkit. When I'm in the developing system everything works. But the point is that I have to create an exe for a user and in testing this the report is not generated (and no error msg occurs). Does anyone handeled this problem already and could give me some hints? Thx.

Hi muchalla,
the report generation toolkit for MS office depends on the version of MS Office (not the OS). You must generate your application for the version of MS Office or use some dynamic technic.
The different versions of the llbs you need are on the CD in a subfolder called compability.
Here I have asked if some ideas to do this will work. Until now I haven't got the time to verify it by myself.
You will find here more information about using the report toolkit with applications.

Hi gretchenm66156293,
Are you running into this issue with one PDF in particular, or with any PDF that you open? Did the PDF display correctly previously? How was that PDF created?
For starters, please choose File > Properties and click the Fonts tab. What fonts are used in the PDF? Are they "embedded" or "subsetted."
I would be happy to take a look at the PDF here, if you'd like. Let me know!
Best,

How do you insert new records into multiple tables using the same unique primary key?

I’ve created a PHP site and MySQL server using a free app called XAMPP. I have successfully created a form in Dreamweaver that will write data to a (name) table in the SQL database. Here’s my question: How do you write to two (or more) tables in the same database and pass the same primary key to both tables? In the SQL database, I defined the first field as ID and set it as the primary key with auto update. So, when you insert a new record, it creates a unique primary key for that record. In my form, I’m capturing info that needs to be stored to two tables at the same time; a Name table and Address table. Since the Name and Address tables use the ID field as the primary key, I believe I will need to pass the ID value from the Name table to the insert of the Address table to insure they both have the same primary key, right?

No. You probably need the primary key from one table to be a foreign key in the other tables. In any case, I believe you can use two methods to obtain the auto generated key. First with SQL:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/getting-unique-id.html
And the other using a PHP function:

When using the refine edge tool, my image is opposite....rather than the background being transparent...the "subject" is gone...do I have a something set incorrectly?

I used the quick selection tool to outline, then refine edge....
my image does not shoe up in the refine edge window....it is a "mask"..
then when I output to "new layer with layer mask"....my "subject" t is gone...back ground remains...

Thanks for your prompt reply!
this is how the "finished" product looks...this is the image after I select "output to mask"..
It seems "reversed"?

Could not use the color replacement tool because it only works in full color modes

Hi, when trying to use the Color Replacement Tool, I get this error. I'm not sure how to get in full color mode. Please help.

Go to Image>Mode and be sure it's RGB and not index color or something.

I am automating the process of sending appointment reminders to my clients. I started with an alert with an email in calendar using the clients email address as a custom entry in my me card in my contacts. this was resulting in three emails being sent with slightly different versions of the same address (see my previous post). Heating someone else's suggestion I created a workflow file to send an email and calling that file from an alert on my calendar. This is working and sends only one email to the client.
My calendar is on I cloud and I access it from three different computers so I can keep my appointment calendar current. The files that send the email only exist on one computer. My other computers show error messages when those emails get sent. It seems that each computer wants to send the email. It's a small problem but is there a way that I could not get those alerts.
But appreciate any thoughts about this. It seems like both problems might be related to the iCloud system.
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Good work, catch so far Michael, does seem to be a "feature" of iCloud syncing, not sure what you could do to disable it.

I have created two related books in Lightroom 5 (Volumes 1 and 2) but my balance of page numbers is off. So I'd like to take some pages out of one book (complete with images) and paste them into the other. Is this possible?

Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?
