Script to get the first word on each page

Is there a script that would make a list of the first word of each page (or, preferably, create a text box on each page and place the next page's word in that)? My document's all in one story with one text frame on each page, although there are several other frames (header, page number) applied through master pages.

You wrote: I changed the numbers to "8.0425in", "4.5681in", "8.1275in", "5.4319in" and it mostly worked - it placed the box at exactly 5 inches (X) and at 8.085 inches (Y) instead of 4.5681 inches. Any idea why?
No. I cannot reproduce the error you describe. I assume you've checked your numbers very closely in the script--I don't normally indicate measurements as strings.
you wrote: Something wasn't working with the styling - it kept freezing the program -
What do you mean by "freezing the program"? Is there a specific error message?
The paragraph style is named "firstword" and is all lowercase letters?
firstword paragraph style is NOT in a paragraph style group, right?
Is the first word on any page too long when formatted with the paragraph style "firstword" to fit in the text frame?

Getting the first row for each group

Hi Everyone,
I have a query which returns a number of rows, all of which are valid. What I need to do is to get the first row for each group and work with those records.
For example ...
client flight startairport destairport stops
A fl123 LGW BKK 2
A fl124 LHR BKK 5
B fl432 LGW XYZ 7
B fl432 MAN ABC 8
.... etc.
I would need to return one row for Client A and one row for Client B (etc.) but find that I can't use the MIN function because it would return the MIN value for each column (i.e. mix up the rows). I also can use the rownum=1 because this would only return one row rather than one row per group (i.e. per client).
I have been investigating and most postings seem to say that it needs a second query to look up the first row for each grouping. This is a solution which would not really be practical because my query is already quite complex and incorporating duplicate subqueries would just make the whole thing much to cumbersome.
So what I really new is a "MIN by group" or a "TOP by group" or a "ROWNUM=1 by group" function.
Can anyone help me with this? I'm sure that there must be a command to handle this.
Regards and any thanks,
Alan Searle

Something like this:
select *
from (
   select table1.*
   row_number() over (partition by col1, col2 order by col3, col4) rn
   from table1
where rn = 1In the "partition by" clause you place what you normally would "group by".
In the "order by" clause you define which will have row_number = 1.
Edit:
PS. The [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/functions004.htm#i81407]docs have more examples on using analytical functions ;-)

Apple Mail - how to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize

How to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize
Anwar

something to look forward to then, because we get used not to use our shift button any more, since iPhone and iPad do it for us. entourage and other ms stuff do it. pages does it too now (put it on in the auto-correct in preferences). bizarre however some loose the capitalization when you copy the text. pages to stickies or mail does not. that's good !

How to use script to get the first table row on each page?

I create a print form to display a table. I set a conditional page break on this table, so the table rows on each page could be different.
For example, there're total 50 rows in this table. On the 1st page, there're 5 rows, but on the 2nd page, there're only 2 rows, and so on...
Now I want to get some value from the 1st table row on each page. How can do that? I can refer to a table row using TableRow[n], but I don't know how to calculate 'n' in script (either FormCalc or JavaScript) for the 1st row on each page.
Any ideas?

Hi Wei,
There is an option of setting the overflow header in the pallette. You may check that out. It is basically used to have the table header to be seen in all pages, if the table is overflowing to multiple pages. You may put your first row as the overflow header.
- hope this helps, Kindly update,
thanks and regards,

How do you auto capitalize in the new version of pages? It no longer capitalizes the first word in each sentence and "I".

I just updated to the new version, and this problem occurred right away. Please help!!

Congratulations on discovering the first of over 90 + features removed from Pages by Apple:

Your previous version of Pages should still be in your Applications/iWork folder. It actually works.

Select first word in each line of a text file to do something.

How do I select the first word in each line to do something newer from a text file in Powershell?
Example:
GBL Primary File
local Primary File
localhost Primary File
Opstest Primary File
TrustAnchors Primary File
99upgrade

Hi 99,
here's an example on how to do it:
$lines = Get-Content "C:\ExampleFolder\Example.txt"
foreach ($line in $lines)
Write-Host ($line.Split(" "))[0]
Just replace the Write-Host line in the loop with what you actually want to do with the first word in the line.
Cheers,
Fred

ID only imports the first word of a 233 page word file (a novel)

Folks!
I've tried the old FIle-Place make a text box and shift+enter..... and I ONLY get the first word of a 60,000 document. Why?
I need help ASAP!

There are a lot of possibilities causing the problem, probably it is caused by some formatting done in Word.
What text styles are used in Word? Do they have some break options? Repair them in Word.
Are text boxes/frames used in Word? Remove them in Word.
Is in Word some kind of break inserted (section, page, column, …)? Remove them in Word.
But also important:
When you import the Word file, do you select the import options during import? Do it!
In InDesign is a character style selected before importing, before choosing the text tool? Don't.
Because we don't know the source of the Word file it is hard to tell you what it is. A huge problem are Word files which have been converted from PDF or other programs.
I would try to get rid from any Word imported formatting. Imported styles from Word I would never use in InDesign, I import them often, but I have my own styles predefined in InDesign. After importing I delete step by step the Word formatting. I know, I could map the Word Styles to existing InDesign styles, but in my experience some unexpected things are happening when the Word file comes from someone else than me, because a lot of people have only limitted knowledge when it comes to Word styles and document structure.

Is there a way to capitalize just the first word on a sentence on Pages v5.2?

I'm sort of new to iwork, but i've been working with word for a long time and i know it very well.
In word there is a tool in which you select a paragraph and you can capitalize the first word of each sentence.
Is there a way i can do the same with pages v5.2? Pages would only let me capitalize each word of the selected paragraph.
Thanks

The previous major version of Pages (Pages '09 version 4.3) could automatically capitalize the first word of each sentence as you typed. That capability and a number of others was lost with the release of Pages v 5. You may still have the older version available in your Applications folder. You may also want to switch to Word or Open Office (free), both of which will likely be more familiar if you have worked with Word before.

Mail - Auto capitalize first word in each sentence

When composing a message in mail is there a way to turn on auto capitalization for the word beginning each sentence?

As far as I can tell you cant auto capitalize the first word of each sentence. I did however find out how to turn "i" into "I in case that is bugging you as well
Go into System Preferences
Click on Language and Text
Choose the "Text" box on the menu bar
It will bring you to the text substitution thingamajig where you can replace "i" with an "I". Once done it will work on Mail as well as most applications system wide.
Hope that helps a little

How to get the date for the first monday of each month

Dear Members,
How to get the date for the first monday of each month.
I have written the following code
SELECT decode (to_char(trunc(sysdate+30 ,'MM'),'DAY'),'MONDAY ',trunc(sysdate+30 ,'MM'),NEXT_DAY(trunc(sysdate+30 ,'MM'), 'MON')) FROM DUAL
But it look bith complex.

Use IW format - it will make solution NLS independent. And all you need is truncate 7<sup>th</sup> day of each month using IW:
select sysdate current_date,
        trunc(trunc(sysdate,'mm') + 6,'iw') first_monday_the_month
from dual
CURRENT_D FIRST_MON

            connect by level <= 12

Hi Abbas,
First, I notice that you are using IMAQ for USB. Is there any particular reason you are not using IMAQdx? This is the newer, supported driver for use with USB cameras that supports acquiring from multiple cameras at the same time.
Check these two articles:
Can I Acquire from Multiple USB Cameras Simultaneously Using IMAQdx?
Can I Acquire from Two USB Cameras Simultaneously with NI-IMAQ for USB Cameras 1.0?
And also this example (if you camera does not support acquiring from multiple cameras at the same time):
Toggle Between Multiple USB Cameras
As for timestamps, some cameras output them with the frame timing. However, usually this is not a feature of USB cameras; if it is not, you can look into timing options within LabVIEW. Try playing with the property node for IMAQdx and the Acquisition Attributes.
