Retain hyperlinks when referencing linked text via a formula?

I'm building a fairly simple spreadsheet CRM tracker. I have a separate page for each project with details about the client, due dates, call log, etc. and I want the first page of the spreadsheet to show me a summary of the data in the individual sheets.
So far this has been working pretty well (I'm new to Numbers but used to be a moderately experienced Excel user) except that in the individual sheets I have a hyperlink which jumps directly to the project to-do list on Remember The Milk - this works perfectly, except when I try to mirror this cell on the summary sheet, it just shows the text with no hyperlink - and of course, being a formula, I don't then have access to the hyperlink option because I can't select the text. I thought it might be because I was using descriptive text instead of the address itself, but I tried using the actual web address, but that didn't link either.
It seems a fairly simple thing to do, but I can't find anything that tells me how to do it. Any ideas?

If the hyperlink as displayed in the cell is formatted as a proper URL (with the http:// and all) you can use the HYPERLINK function in another cell.
Example:
cell B2 has the text http://www.apple.com and is formatted as a hyperlink
C2 = HYPERLINK(B2) will also be a hyperlink to apple.com
If it is missing the http://, you can concatenate it to the beginning and get the same result
C2 = HYPERLINK("http://"&B2)

Keeping edits when updating linked text file

My main use of indesign is laying out text files that are created in work. They need be linked, becuase the authors of these files are constantly updating them.
I place the file, and then format the tables to make them look better, and also sometimes add images into the text
However, when the original changes, and I update the text box with the new text, all the formatting i've added is lost.
This must be a common problem with linked files, so, if anyone has any recommendations please let me know. Most importantly would be a way to automatically apply / keep the stlying for the tables.

You can try exporting to RTF and relinking those files back to your
document and letting your writers work on those, but InCopy is far
better solution.
Why not download the demo and show them how much time they'll save with
it? Or bring in a consultant who can demonstrate it. I've found that
doing a demo can really open some eyes to the possibilities.

No Hyperlinks when I upload website via ftp - Freestyle theme

Hi
I've just got my first iMac (never going to get a PC again!) and changed my mates' band website that used to be on FrontPage. Its slimmed down for now but the basics are there, standard theme too but it is my first ever go at using a mac.. However, after I uploaded it the Welcome page has no Hyperlinks bar. I've checked everything I can think off, tested it by publishing to a folder etc but they don't appear in the internet (all works fine in iweb and in the folder).
One thing I did wonder about is that I've added extra pages and the space used for the hyperlink bar has dropped down in size to accommodate more links, would that affect it and if so, how can I fix it?
The site address is http://www.olly-alcock-band.co.uk - at the moment we have the welcome page but no way to get to the others! I suspect its to do with the size of the hyperlink bar and/or another frame being in front, I just can't figure out what/how. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It seems to be server side problem, from my end; none of your .js or .css files are found
http://www.olly-alcock-band.co.uk/Welcome_files/Welcome.js
http://www.olly-alcock-band.co.uk/Welcome_files/Welcome.css
The above two files are supporting files for your Welcome page, you need to sort out with your site host.

How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?

How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?
This is the title of an apple forum question, and it is a bug in both Safari 5.1.3 and under, and I find it to also occur in Firefox browser (at least 9.* 10.*, 11.0), running on Lion OS (10.7.2, 10.7.3). See:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3212301?start=0&tstart=0
Under the newer Mac OS mentioned, and Firefox 10.2, 11.0, 9.*, if I select:
File -> Print -> PDF -> Open PDF in Preview"
(and view / save the PDF in Preview, you will see none of the links in the original web page are active
or using
File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF...
same problem. Try this using any Wikipedia page, for example.
When this problem was posed in Apple forums, by a user of the Safari browser, it was found to be a bug (since Aug 2011) fixed in a Safari browser build 5.1.4 circa Jan 2012. I tried the newer Safari browser and sure enough the problem went away (except that links embedded in the PDF no longer appeared as blue text - ARGH - but "hover over" with the cursor showed the link and clicking the link in Preview viewer activated the link in a browser window).
So I post this to the Mozilla community, please fix this 'cause I don't want to have to switch over to Safari browser every time I want to archive a PDF with active links!!!!
P.S. I did a spot-check and with the newer add-on Enjoy Reading 1.0.1 and FF11.0. When the Enjoy reading formatted version appears in the browser window, all URLs/links are preserved and highlighted in blue, but when I print that browser window as PDF, the links are dead (don't work) even though they appear in blue in the PDF.
So, what's going on, can the Safari fix be researched and applied to FF?
Also, on some forums, people are responding, Well, try installing Acrobat reader. Well, I don't want to, Preview reader has worked fine for me for years.

Thanks jscher2000.
RE: -- '''Generally speaking, PDF converters that work by intercepting a print job do not have access to the URLs behind links in the page.''' --
I cannot say I agree. I could email you a PDF clipping or two (generated from Safari on Mac OS, in its native capability with no add-ons) that shows you otherwise. When I used PC platforms I did have to install PDF converters (tried both free and expensive ones) that did what I describe.
I cannot try the add-on you mention, '''Print Pages to Pdf.''' in Firefox. It shows in my browser and Mac OS platform "Not available for your platform." So I am guessing it was written for the PC version of Firefox.
The Mac OS has had a native PDF-creation functionality for as many years as I have been using it; I used PC prior to that, Win3.1 through XP and NT. And on my PC, I bought (and at work, my employer bought $$$, I had to justify three levels up to management the ability to create PDFs on my work PC) some Adobe functionality to CREATE pdf's (readin's free and easy, makin' em's costly on the PC).
I've gone and dug through some of my (Mac) doc and clipping archives, and I find that stuff I created after about Dec 2008 or so seems to eliminate all link functionality. When viewed in the Apple native "Preview" application (sort of Apple's equivalent to Adobe Acrobat reader, ships with the OS): link tags are highlighted/tinted, clicking a link opens a (default) browser and takes you there; hover-over the tag text shows the actual link. (Of course, not all old links are still VALID or point to the desired source.)
I could, in Safari or FF browser window and with no add-ons or Adobe paid products whatsoever, use the native OS method to create PDF's from any application (word processor, spreadsheet, browser, etc) via the menu File -> Print -> Save as PDF menu and create a PDF that had active hyperlinks. In Apple OS Lion 10.7.3, I still can't when it uses this broken WebKit interface, links are "dead" as a doornail until a fix is distributed in WebKit for a future Lion release. It seems this functionality died at least as far back as Leopard OS 10.6.8, but don't quote me on that. Also, my version of Pages 2009 version 4.1(923) (sorta like Word) STILL creates a PDF document that preserves (1) text hyper-links within the document, and (2) web links (in the PDF) that open the browser. I just made a test document.
When all you can see in the PDF is the tag text, there is nothing to copy-paste to follow any link. Also, hypertext links are often used by authors to create links to other points in a document: now even *that* is broken in the PDF version of the documents I retrieve from the web and print from FireFox (Broken in Safari 5.1.3 and earlier but fixed in 5.1.4).
Try this on the PC, in your browser and print a news clipping as PDF, do the links in the PDF work? What products do this, and what don't? I would bet the machine with a full Adobe suite this will work flawlessly. (Why should a PC user have to pay hundreds of $ to create this functionality in what I thought was an open standard (PDF)? But that's talkin' religion, let's not start that.)
Some folks might say,
go online and find the original source doc in your browser. Or,
go and add those links manually using the Preview edit add-link capability (hunh? no thanks) , or
save each item worth saving as an HTML archive instead of a PDF (argh, creating a whole directory in the process, I might add, including ads). Or,
who needs PDFs, everything is online.
Or, buy some Adobe product.
I think they miss my point. This is a real strange dumbing-down of archival PDF documents, or at least a destruction of the ability to use PDF as an archive that retains its links and references.
C.F. the guy who has archives of scientific papers, and the old material all cross-references nicely but after date X there are no working links.

How to stop text box on iWeb page from automatically reverting to hyperlink when I click 'save'

As far as I see, the main text box in the body section of my iWeb page reverts to a hyperlink (connecting to a file) when I click save. I don't know how the hyperlink got activated to begin with--I must have done something, but I don't know what it was. I tried this many times to fix it: went to Inspector "hyperlink" section, activated the text box in the page, un-clicked "make hyperlinks active" (so they are inactive), then un-clicked "Enable as a hyperlink." That much works--the hyperlink (little white arrow in blue circle) disappears from the lower right corner of text box. But as soon as I save (command S), the text box reverts to a hyperlink.
If I don't click save and move around the pages, it does not revert to a hyperlink. It only reverts to a hyperlink when the file is saved. Why is it doing this and how to stop this from happening--how to permanently return the text box to a non-hyperlink?
The website page is: http://www.usronline.net/USR/VedicResearch.html. If you click anywhere randomly in the main text, you'll get a prompt to download a PDF file. This should not be, but I can't get this hyperlink to go away for good.
Many thanks in advance.

Please pardon the reply delay--a big project deadline had to be met. Now back to this work:
Yes, the text in the oval object had a drop shadow (the oval object itself did not). I removed the drop shadow from the text, but the image file icon stayed in the right corner of the oval object. I deleted the text and then the image file icon disappeared. But as soon as I typed text again inside the oval object (not even pasting the previous text) the image file icon appeared again. I deleted the oval object entirely and simply typed the text inside the main text box itself. The image file icon that was attached to that oval object is gone (along with the oval object).
Still the image file icon is attached to the main text box, though. I again tried to uncheck the Enable as hyperlink (same process as described in first posting) with that oval object gone, but when I "save" again it reverts to a hyperlink.
Next I tried this: I copied the text from the problem text box and pasted it into another text box (outside of the problem one). Still in the new text box with the pasted text, the image file icon shows in the upper right corner.
I also removed all the drop shadow features from this main text box (there was one more, on some words typed in the main text box), but it is still showing as an image.
I don't know how it became an image file, and I'm still stumped as to how to fix it (short of forgetting about trying to figure out how it became an image and just retyping all text into a new text box).
The link you provided for "Web Safe Fonts" is returning this: "The server at www.ampsoft.net is taking too long to respond." I'm using Arial and Georgia (Georgia only on the menu and header text) in the site, and I had verified before designing the site that these are web safe, so I had thought they were.
If you or anyone have any further suggestions or suspicions on this matter, I'd be glad to hear them.
Thank you.

How to NOT retain formatting when copying and pasting text

Captivate 7 keeps the formatting from my text sources when I paste into a Text Caption which is not what I need. Anything I could find in the forums where questions relating to "keeping" the source formatting. I don't want this, I want Captivate to keep its text formatting when I paste text into a text caption. I even did a test creating a new project and using one of the Cap 7 themes. If I paste text in the default capture caption style object, it retains the formatting of the copied text source. I have been working with Captivate 7 since a few months now and, until this morning, when I copied and pasted text from another source into my Captivate Text Caption, it retained the format of my Captivate Text Caption object. This is exactly what I need. How can I get this behavior back?
I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi there
Well, first I would report it as undesired behavior and possibly ask for an enhancement that allows us to right-click and paste without formatting. Do this using the link below:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
For now, you have a couple of options.
1. Perform a side trip. Open a text editor such as Windows Notepad or Apple Textpad and paste, then copy back to the clipboard. Then paste the text into the caption. (When pasting into the text editor, formatting is stripped)
2. On Windows machines, you can usually find a clipboard utility that allows you to paste as pure text. In fact, one such application is called PureText.

How can I enable the ability to create links when editing site text in BC?

I am about to launch my first BC site for a client. I built the site using Muse. The client needs to update text and pics on their own using BC, which is fine, but when editing text, they are unable to create a link to another page. How can I enable the ability to create links when editing site text in BC? I can apparently do this in this post, but I don't see a way to do this for their site.

Grid control should be used if you have multiple dbs to manage.
But if you still want to install dbconsole, you can use dbca as already mentioned. it's much easier to do that using dbca.
With the manual method, you create the repository via emca -repos create.
Then you configure it using emca -config dbcontrol db. This will ask for sys passwords, ports setting etc...

Is there a way to link text fields, so when you reach the end of one line it moves to the next?

I often use Acrobat Pro to create forms, whether it be from an existing document or from scratch, and this has always irritated me. I know you can create a text field and select the Multi-line option; however, this is not what I am looking to do. I have a form that has a Yes or No Radio Button, then below it says "If yes, please explain:" followed by 3 lines to respond. When I run it through the Form Creator, it places three text fields on the response lines - as it should. The first line is shorter because of the text, which is why I cannot use the Multi-line option. So is there a way to link these three text fields, so that when I reach the end of the first line it stops and automatically moves to the next?
Here is a picture of what I am looking at:

These types of lines are a left-over from printed forms. There's no reason
to keep using them if your form is digital.
The best approach is to combine the fields to a single multiline field, and
get rid of the first line. Trying to link text fields together is very
tricky. I haven't yet to see it done properly.

Create Hyperlink when sending mail via Outlook

Hi all,
I want to mail a hyperlink from within function module via outlook. Creating the hyperlink and starting function <new mail> in outlook works just fine. But when the document (word, pdf, etc.) contains blanks, the hyperlink gets interrupted.
For example:
h:\temp\word1.doc (this will work just fine).
h:\temp\word 1.doc (error when displaying hyperlink in body of new mail).
I know that sometimes on the internet blanks are displayed as %20. But how to insert this in an ABAP statement using CONCATENATE?
Best regards,
Micky.

Hi Micky,
Try using replace command... to replace SPACE with %20
Regards,
Raj
See the example below:
REPLACE
Basic form
REPLACE f WITH g INTO h.
Addition
... LENGTH len (length specification for field f )
Effect
Replaces the first occurrence of the contents of field f in field h with the contents of field g . All fields are handled in their defined length; this means that closing blanks are not ignored.
The return code value indicates whether the string f was found in h and replaced by g :
SY-SUBRC = 0 String replaced.
SY_SUBRC = 4 String not replaced.
Example
DATA FIELD(10).
MOVE 'ABCB' TO FIELD.
REPLACE 'B' WITH 'string' INTO FIELD.
returns:
FIELD = 'AstringCB', SY-SUBRC = 0

When Primary link restore back route still learn via CE_HQ instead MPLS

Hi Sir,
Please refer my issue as below and attachment for log captured;
1) When primary link down at CE_Branch_1, it will triggered the ISDN to CE_HQ to communicate.
2) When the primary is up again at CE_Branch_1, the ISDN will be disconnected.
3) At CE_HQ, when show ip route the 10.106.15.0 network still appear in static route instead of OSPF route. Hence, LAN user at CE_Branch_1 will not able to access HQ anymore.
4) When sho ip route vrf COURTS at PEWBRF1, you can notice network 10.106.15.0 is still learned via 202.178.128.70 and not 178.28.0.20.
5) Have tried to manipulate the route-map with set local-preference = 50 and set weight = 0 for network 10.106.15.0 that being redistributed from OSPF into MPBGP at PEWBRF1 still doesnt help. Furthermore, I encounter the route have become RIB-Failure when show ip bgp vpnv4 vrf COURTS.
6) At CE_HQ, there is floating static route being configured to point to CE_Branch_1s LAN, ip route 10.106.15.0 255.255.255.0 128.1.1.15.
7) When show ip bgp vpnv4 vrf COURTS 10.106.15.0 and show ip route vrf COURTS 10.106.15.0 at PEWBRF1 the route 10.106.15.0 still prefer to come from CE_HQ. This is the problem, now the CE_HQ can not reach CE_Branch_1.
Please advise.

Folks, this is typical working when using OSPF. Using OSPF the down bit is set on LSA (not all of them but I dont need to go down that far). Because the router is redistributing the static routes into OSPF the PE router shall receive the routes via the mpls cloud from that redist point. It will then get them back from the original PE-CE but these will never come in. You have GOT to configure sham-links between any area (PE)s that have a backdoor between them. If the ISDN line is using OSPF then what happens is that the routes across the ISDN line appear as "O" routes and the routes from the PE-CE conenction appear as "IA" routes. Hence the ISDN line is the preferred path. Read up on sham-links as they go into the real detail of why this happens. Once you get used to what is happening it all rather makes sense. :-)

In Textedit, how do I copy a hyperlink url, but only copy the link location and not the link text?

Suppose I have a list of hyperlinked internet URL's. I want to extract their Internet addresses -- the link locations -- which are essentially hidden in the link text. Is there any way to select and copy the list of hyperlinks, but only copy the link locations, and not the link text?
For example, with the links:
The White House
Google
One of my previous posts
What I really want to copy are: "http://www.whitehouse.gov/", "http://www.google.com/", and "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2737556".

I figured out how to do it. First, copy the hyperlinks onto a blank RTF document in TextEdit and save the file.
Second, open the file from within TextEdit, and make sure that the box "Ignore rich text commands" is checked in the open file dialog box. In the open document, the hyperlinks from my example in my first post will look like this:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1038\cocoasubrtf360
{\fonttbl\f0\froman\fcharset0 Times-Roman;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;\red0\green7\blue232;}

Third, use the Automator function, "Get URLs From Text," to create a service, which I called "Get URLs From Text," that receives text from any window, gets the URLs, and copies the result to the clipboard:
Fourth, select the entire page above, and go to TextEdit > Services to activate the "Get URLs" service.
Fifth, create a new TextEdit document, and paste the result.
The output is exactly what I wanted, the URLs -- i.e., the link locations -- of the three web pages, without the link text.
Another utility that will extract URLs is CopyPaste Pro, which has an innate ability to extract Internet addresses from either web pages or text pages.

Why doesn't iCloud retain hyperlinks or live URL addresses in iCloud contacts?

Why doesn't iCloud retain hyperlinks or live URL addresses in contacts?
Hardware/Software Setup Scenario:
PC with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 7 Pro at home for which all ISP (Cox Communications) e-mail is integrated with Microsoft Outlook 7. New Apple iPhone 4S linked to MS Outlook Contacts, Calendars, Tasks (Reminders) and Notes via iCloud. All e-mail bypasses iCloud (not needed).
Problem:
When initially migrating Microsoft Office 7 Contacts to Contacts in iCloud, Outlook creates a new folder named "Contacts in iCloud," which does synchronize quickly with your iCloud Contacts folder (in Outlook) on your computer at home and your iPhone when you're on the road. That is a great thing to have, and it works well for my calendar, which constantly changes. The unfortunate predicament is that there are some major problems that occur when you convert your Contacts records to iCloud as follows.
My Contact Notes in Microsoft Office 7, which contain rich formatted text, Microsoft program hyperlinks and live URL addresses (web sites, email addresses, etc.) are all lost because iCloud converts all of it into basic text, rendering the entire Contact Notes box useless. The only way to note a hyperlink is to go back to the web site or email address (if you still have it) and copy the properties in plain text into your notes -- not a reasonable solution.
An additional problem seen when moving Outlook Contacts to Contacts in iCloud is that the Contact Notes in the new "Contacts in iCloud" are systematically affected by sporadically dropped spaces between words requiring a manual or spell check "cleanup" of every contact -- not reasonable for a folder of approximately 1,000 contacts.
I have also found that importing my Outlook Contacts into iCloud empties the Outlook "Contacts" folder. Once you have created your new "Contacts in iCloud" folder, the Outlook contacts are gone for good, unless you want to retrieve them from a backup file. The problem is that Outlook will only allow one of these two Contact folders for use; so you’re faced with choosing between syncing your Outlook Contacts manually between your iPhone on iTunes using the USB cable connected to your computer -- not reasonable for someone on the move; or, transfer your contacts to iCloud live with worthless notes for your contacts.
Can anyone suggest a better work around?

I'm replying to myself here, but just in case someone else has this problem: I uninstalled the Avery Toolbar and iCloud works on by browser once again. I don't know why or how Avery Toolbar makes a difference, but apparently, it does. If anyone knows how or why, I'd be interested.
