Select several paragraphs

How to select several paraghraphs at the same time?

That said, what are you doing to this text once it's selected? Perhaps a find/change query could be devised to find all the text.

  • How to select several values from a user exit variable in a planning folder

    Hello,
    I have created a user exit variable for limiting the values only to which the user need to access.
    For a simulation part, it is then necessary for him to select several values from these values (not only one, and not all)
    But It seems in this case the user has only two possibilities :
    - keep all the values without any restriction
    - restrain the selection to only one value.
    It seems possible for the user to access to a multiple choice window, but this possibility doesn't seems to work : in all tests we did, only the first value was taken into account by BPS.
    If this method is not good do you know an other manner to permit the user to choice several values amongst a set of pre-selected  (because the original set is too important) values ?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Mayank,
    Thanks for your response, but I don't think it corresponds to my problem.
    I my case, I use a user exit variable to filter some data. It seems BPS offers the possibility to the user to select several values amongts the pre-selected values presented by the user exit variable, but it doesn't work. We can use a popup in which we enters the required values, but in final, only the first value is taken into account.
    I don't know if it is due to a BPS bug or if it is not a good solution in regard to BPS philosophy. In this case, the concerned caracteristic isn't in the header but in lead columns.
    I must present a solution to my client next monday, so I have not enough time to open an OSS message.
    An alternate solution should be interesting too.
    My need is to present to a user a selection of values amongst all values from an infoobject (the user exit variable seemed to be a good solution) and the user must have the possibility to select some values amongst these as filter.
    Regards

  • Script for selecting consecutive paragraphs -- can anyone help me?

    Hi,
    I have this script that works fine. It aplies Style Then Next Style to the paragraphs that I have selected with the keyboard in Indesign CS5:
    var style_name = "cabecalho"
    var doc = app.documents[0];
    var first_pstyle = doc.paragraphStyles.item(style_name);
    var cur_sel = app.selection[0].paragraphs;
    cur_sel[0].appliedParagraphStyle = first_pstyle;
    if (cur_sel.length > 1) 
         for (n = 1; n < cur_sel.length; n++)
              cur_sel[n].appliedParagraphStyle = cur_sel[n-1].appliedParagraphStyle.nextStyle;
    But before running it I have to use the keyboard to select the 3 paragraphs for the script. I know that it is possible to add some code in the beginning to make the script select the paragraph where the cursor is and the next 2 paragraphs and avoid the manual selection because it is always 3 paragraphs.
    I do not know how to do this. Can anyone help me?
    Thank you in advance. Greetings from Madrid

    This is a bit crude but you get the picture:
    var style_name = "cabecalho"
    var doc = app.documents[0];
    var first_pstyle = doc.paragraphStyles.item(style_name);
    var story = app.selection[0].parentStory;
    var cur_sel = app.selection[0].paragraphs[0];
    cur_sel.appliedParagraphStyle = first_pstyle;
    var nextpar = story.paragraphs.nextItem (cur_sel);
    nextpar.appliedParagraphStyle = cur_sel.appliedParagraphStyle.nextStyle;
    cur_sel = nextpar;
    var nextpar = story.paragraphs.nextItem (cur_sel);
    nextpar.appliedParagraphStyle = cur_sel.appliedParagraphStyle.nextStyle;

  • Need Adds on to highlight or select several(next) pages in search result on current page?

    Need Adds on to highlight or select several(next) pages in search result on current page?

    Do you mean this: you would select a bunch of links with your mouse, then right-click and choose something like "open all these links in new tabs"?
    There are extensions like that. Here are a few examples, but since I don't use them myself, I don't recommend any particular one. You can check the reviews and try the one(s) that sounds good to you:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/multi-links/ Multi Links]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/selection-links/ Selection Links]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/SnapLinksPlus/ Snap Links Plus]
    If you already have one of those but it stopped working, make sure you have the latest version. You can check for updates to your extensions here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > "gear" button > "Check for Updates"
    Any luck?

  • Select several CSS classes simultaneously (Was: how select several css rules at the same time ?)

    Hi !
    I have Dreamweaver 8
    I've tried to select several css rules at the same time to create a css style sheet but i don't know how to do it !
    This man do it in this video at 3:00
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbQ3GTFC-o0
    Thanks !

    DW8 doesn't support the selection of multiple classes in the properties panel.  I'm pretty sure that feature didn't appear until the release of CS6.  Unless you upgrade to CS6 or CC, you must do it manually in your  code.

  • How do I select a paragraph element spanning multiple lines

    Hi,
    I would like to retrieve the text from a JTextArea that surrounds the caret. What I mean by this is that I would like to select out the text around the caret that is a legitimate paragraph not the one associated with PlainDocument.
    ie.
    blah blah blah
    text text <caret> text
    text text text text
    blah blah blah blah
    In this scenario I would like to select out the two lines containing "text." I would like to do this without having to write my own code to parse the document. Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John

    You could do something like this, although somewhat tedious. Hope it will help!

    Hi ,
    We have MM and SD reports with doc number as variable . In our web reporting this variable is allowing us to choose the docs we need but our user is asking if we can copy and paste several Docs at a time at the selection screen instead of selecting each by insert row etc...Please advice if any one has done that before...
    Thanks

  • Best way to select several mysql table rows at random?

    What is the best and quickest way to have one form button select multiple rows from a table with complete randomness?
    Can you also offer some explanation (or link to a good tutorial)- I am a beginner in myql and php.
    thanks
    p.s. the id column in my table is auto incrementing and has some gaps (due to deletions of records). I do not want any of those gaps to be chosen at random (can they?).

    What do you have so far? How many rows will your table have and how many do you want to randomize? To produce random result without filter will put a strain on your server, especially if you have a lot of rows and you get a lot of server requests (pageloads). To randomize the results you basically have to recreate the table dynamically then output the result as an array. Again, this will put a huge load on your server. This may sound silly and ridiculously obvious, but have you tried searching the obvious term on google for MySQL random? There are millions of articles that describe the subject. Many first page results will show you exactly what you need to do. Try searching first then if you have trouble ask here, referencing the article you followed by first searching google.

  • 'select objects: click and drag to select several objects' doesn't work

    I have recently upgraded to Office 2010, and have the same problem as
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/thread/75270638-e02b-4a78-b291-043abbca04ae?prof=required
    When I use Select - Select Objects in the Editing part of the ribbon to select multiple drawing shapes, it no longer works like in office 2007. I can't drag a rectangle in the document to select objects within an area.
    I would have guessed this is the same problem as the link I refer to, but I'm not running the beta version of 2010. It seems not to be solved.
    Anything I can do to fix this?

    I have just registered so I could reply to this thread.
    The registration process was very ... aehm ... frustrating, I was only able to fill in the correct Captcha after about 10 ties. But ... this is not unexpected, when working with a Microsfoft product. How am I supposed to know whether that bloody captcha
    wants me to to write '4Yp8' or '4yP8'. There is no way to tell. You can distinguish capital letters when it is something like A, a or H, h, but not between y and Y or P and p.
    I would like to thank all the posters for suggested workarounds. They work. Kinda - sorta ... . I was able to finish the editing of large picture (consisting of many graphics objects) that HAS to be made in word (My boss said so). All your tips saved
    me *hours* of frustration.
    I would like to tell Microsoft programmers AND their managers, that *if* the quote in the second post is correct: 
    ================
    The work needed to make the object selection work as it did in Word 2007 was out of scope for this release. It's not as
    simple as using the same feature that existed in the last version since we upgrading our graphics/art features; the way the shapes/objects need to be selected is different than how "old" graphics/art is selectable in Word 2007.
    That said, the "select object" tool that exists in Word 2010 should allow you to select individual shapes. You can select
    multiple shapes holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key while clicking shapes. You might ask how this is different than selecting shapes without turning on "select objects"; the answer to that would be to allow you to select shapes that are "behind" text, or more
    easily select rotated shapes, etc.
    ================
    You are bunch of incompetent amateurs. 
    If I used such lame excuse for missing important functionality at work, I would be very soon replaced by a more competent programmer.
    This time I am not a programmer, I am AN USER. And, as an user I do not care if your internal data structure for new objects doesn't let you do something easily. Find a way to implement that feature or change the data structure. Period.
