Selectable text with images scroller

I've been looking everywhere to see if it is it possible to
have images embedded within a selectable text scroller? I can do
everything except embed images that will scroll with the text. So
far, when I embed images, the text becomes static.
Does anyone have a solution?

Search .docx and replace text with image

I've got a directory containing a series of images. The images will always be the same name and I need to insert them into placeholders in a Word document which will be a template. I thought of using the image names as placeholders, opening the document
and searching for the image name, replacing it by inserting the image, and doing so for each image in the directory.
$file is the name of the image in the directory and it loops through them okay.
foreach($file in Get-ChildItem $savepath -Filter *.jpg)
# search word doc and replace selected text with image ($file)
Also inserting the image seems simple enough from a TechNet article I found, but I've got no idea how to open the Word document and do a search and replace. I found a few articles related to the subject but I couldn't get them to work when I tried to adapt
them.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This 'might' be possible, but I'm having a hard time finding good references to the com object capabilities for inserting an image into a word document. Creating new, converting format, that sort of thing is straightforward.
I'd do a search on "powershell word comobject" and variations of insert image update edit, etc. Or maybe someone else with more experience/knowledge has a magic bullet for you. Once you get some info on doing it with powershell, expand
your search by omitting the powershell keyword, there's gotta be some solid documentation for the comobject somwhere, but it will probably be a bit complex.
You can also:
$word = new-object -comobject word.application
$doc = $word.documents.add("<path to word document>"
and get-member to your heart's content, but finding references and/or documentation might be easier.
Good luck!
Edit: This could help, but really doesn't give much insight into placement of the image, only helps getting the image into the doc: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/44ffc6c8-131f-42f1-b24b-ff92230b2e0a
If you do find something useful, post it here, I'm sure others could benefit!
SubEdit: Should have thought of this already...

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.
We cannot guarantee you satisfaction as this is a user supported forum. The is no SLA for community support. Perhaps if you posted a better worded question as a new topic someone might be able to help you resolve your issue.
The topic you are posting on is closed and answered.

Can we replace OTR text with Images?

Hi All,
I just wanted to know can we replace OTR text with Images?
or
Can we define an image as an OTR text? so that it can be placed in the page where OTR text is used.
regards...
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
it is possible to replace an OTR Text with an image.
You first have to define the Link in the OTR Text where your image is located. This can be everywhere in the Internet or better on a secured intranet server which everyone can reach easily without permission problems. Maybe in the DMZ.
You can even link it into the MIME Repository of your SAP System as well.
Then you have to put that OTR Text into a
<htmlb:textview> Tag and ensure that the switch
" encode = "TRUE" is enabled.
Well thats all.
Keep in mind that the a different language, set in the Internet Explorer or other viewing instances, disables the link if it not "translated" into that language.
This can also be an advantage if you got multilingual fixed pictures with drawn text in it.
I suggest you put all your links ( with a Value Field and at least a name field) into a seperate table into the repository for easy maintaining.
Greetings,
Dominik

Scrolling and selecting text with a bluetooth mouse. (Possible bug?)

I currently have an Apple Keyboard and Magic Mouse hooked up to my Playbook. They work very well, the implementation is incredible. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to scroll with the the mouse. It really limits the PB since if I hook it up to my television I cannot scroll unless I have the PB near me. Has anyone gotten this to work or is this something we are hoping to get in a future update? Aslo, is there a way to select text and bring up the copy/paste menu without having to use the touch screen? I can select text by holding shift / arrow keys on the keyboard but am unable to perform any actions without having to use the touchscreen.
Thanks!

Hold on there, @jnko -- are you saying you can scroll with the mouse (as in, use the virtual scroll wheel), or are you saying you can use the mouse to click on the document in, say, Word To Go, and drag it to make the screen scroll? I can only do the latter, and, like you, can't scroll at all in the web browser. Stinks that this wasn't fixed with the last update...

Scrolling selected text with Indesign CS6 to show different font style

Hi, I recently found I could highlight a paragraph and using font character style I could scroll through fonts changing whole paragraphs, I can't remember how I did this, I know it's a new feature with CC, I'm on CS6

Select the text you want to change. Click your cursor after the font name in the field. Press the up or down arrows, and you can see the selected text change.

Dynamic text box, HTML Text with Image

Hello Everyone,
I am using Flash version 8. I have used the text tool and
created a dynamic text box and have attached the UIScrollBar
component to it. This text box is configured to allow the use of
html text to be inputted to it. I have code that reads a file which
contains a list of text files that I then read and place them into
the text box. The user can use the scroll bar to scroll through all
the text.
I have created an image that is a picture of the tab portion
of a file folder. On the tab I have place some text. This was all
done in Photoshop. This tab image is used to separate the different
stories in the text box. The image is save as a jpeg file
Everything you have just read works with out any problems.
Now for the problem!
This image is only 20 pixels tall and the text is not very
readable. As we all know the HTML tags are very limited in Flash 8.
Ideally I would like to put the text and image in to the text
box as I would normally do. Then place text on top of the image and
have it all scroll properly with in the text box.
I have taken the tab image and converted it in to a graph
symbol and then put the text on top of the image. This looks good;
however I don’t know how (or if it is even possible) to place
the graphic symbol in to the text box at the correct place within
the text.
Does anyone have ideas on what may work? Remember that the
image I am working with is only 20 pixels tall which is why the
text quality on the image is so poor.
Thank you all for any help you may provide,
Steve

Yes Tim I am using the <img> tag and I know that I
can’t place text over the image. I have set the height and
width to be the exact size of the image. However When you go to the
webpage it will open the movie to the maximum size based on the
resolution of your display; however I do maintain the aspect ratio
of the movie. For testing I did set a fix size to the size of the
movie. Sometimes the fix size (1000x750) looks better and sometimes
a larger size (example 1280x1024). I believe that the main problem
is the fact the size of the image is 670 pixels wide by 25 pixels
high and of the 25 pixels the text is only 18 pixels tall. In
Photoshop this makes it about a 1.75 point font. As you can see the
real problem is that I don’t have enough pixels to make up
the text. This is why I am looking for an alterative way to create
the text.
I tried importing the image into flash as a graphic symbol
and then using the text tool to create the text. The results looked
real sharp, the text was nice and crisp (just what I wanted). The
problem is that I could not find a way to place the graphic symbol
into the dynamic text area like id did using the <img> tag.
This symbol needs to scroll as you scroll the text in the text
area.
This is why I am asking for help. I am looking for some ideas
that may work.
Thank you,
Steve

Paste selected text AND images from a webpage to Pages/Word?

I'm a new Mac user (also running virtual Windows XP via vmware fusion), and I know next to nothing about my Mac. Please bear with me if this is something that has been answered (I looked, but didn't find a specific answer for my question...it may be here, but I can't find it).
On a Windows-based PC, all I need to do is select, copy, then paste into a Word document. All text and images would paste. I can't seem to figure out how to do that in Pages or Word (have MS Office for Mac, too).
Thanks for any help.

I suppose I was hoping I could do on my Mac, what I did on my Dell...that doesn't appear to be the case.
Specifically, I'm talking about clicking/dragging to select what I want (including images), opening a Word document then pasting everying, including ALL selected images. More specifically, at sites with game walkthroughs. I prefer to save them to a document and refer to them offline, if I need to. I actually tried it at 2 different sites (one that hosts their own images and one that does not), with the same results.
While I was waiting for a response (thank you, so much, by the way), I tried again and actually managed to get the first 3 images (of 60+) to paste into Word. There were blank places in Word, but the invisible images were clickable. In Pages, only the text pasted.
Tried it every which way, but Sunday, LOL, and nothing worked. If it can't be done on my Mac, then I'll just keep using my Dell (I knew there was a reason I decided to keep it) for that sort of thing and then email them to myself...or try installing my MS Office '07 under virtual Windows.
Thanks, again.

I can't select text with the mouse

When I click anywhere in a text string the cursor automatically goes to the 'home' position. If I try to select text by scrolling across text with the mouse button down the cursor also returns to the 'home' position and no text is selected. Any ideas?

Nee more info.
Are you working with Flash Professional?
Is thas an AS3 file?

Trouble selecting text with touch up tool

I have carefully followed the instructions step by step but I cannot get the touch up text tool to turn into an I-beam in order to select text for touching up the color. I have tried with several documents with no luck, trashed the preferences to revert to the default status, closed and reopened acrobat. I've used this facility several times in the past to access the properties of the text in order to change its color, but I can't seem to do it now.
I am using Acrobat 9 for mac on an imac (Intel core i3), currently Under OS10.7.3, but I had the same problem under OS 10.6.8.

Are you looking at scanned text or real text. The inability to get an ibeam (it only comes on when you are over text) is an indication you are likely looking at a graphic. Try it on a file you know for sure is text and see if it works there.

JS - surrounding selected text with double quotes

I have a working script which places brackets around selected text in the main body of my document (not in a table), but when I changed the script to insert double curly quotes, the script wont work.
Why wont this JS work (script stalls on the var line):
var myObject = (app.selection[0].parent.constructor.name == "Cell") ? app.selection[0].parent.texts[0] : app.selection[0];
with (myObject)
insertionPoints[-1].contents = "";
insertionPoints[0].contents = "";
while this one does work:
var myObject = (app.selection[0].parent.constructor.name == "Cell") ? app.selection[0].parent.texts[0] : app.selection[0];
with (myObject)
insertionPoints[-1].contents = ")";
insertionPoints[0].contents = "(";
Thx Oz
PS The quotes are showing as three straight quotes above, but in my script they are two straight double quotes surrounding either a right or a left curly double quote.

Perhaps there's a Smart Quotes interpreter in JS? Who knows.
If you find it failing again, try inserting the quotes as Unicode values, as these should not be subject to any translating.
I.e.,
>insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\u201c";

How to search for the selected text with a non-default search engine?

Hi,
Before the recent update of the search bar, you could select your "current" search engine, and a search for the selected text (right-click on selection) would use that engine.
Now, it seems that you can only search for the selected text using the default engine. If that's correct, this is a major step backwards for me. For instance, I can't have Google as my default search engine, and search for a selected text on eBay!
Or am I missing something?
Thanks!
R.

I find this extension very useful for items selected on web pages. It offers all your search engines with select>right click.

Replace text with images

Hi,
I'm using a script found here, to replace @equ001.pdf@ with the corresponding image, same for eq002 etc.
This script works more or less ok for me.
Sometimes, it removes some image names without replacing the image, sometimes it was leaving some "@" here and there.
Sometimes, it's giving me an error on the "place image" code, saying it cannot find the image, giving it's path ending with the grep expression $2 and doesn't work at all.
Sometimes it does part of the job, stops, gives the same error as above, and continues to work when I click ok.
Today, it didn't worked on a document. I copied the text to work on into a new InDesign document an there, it worked (but in two times).
Is there any other way of doing this ?
if(app.documents.length != 0){
    var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ('Choose a folder with images');
    if(myFolder != null){
        // reset the Find/Change dialog
        app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
        // formulate a grep search string
        app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '@.+?@';
        // find all occurrence, last one first
        f = app.activeDocument.findGrep (true);
        for (i = 0; i < f.length; i++){
            // construct file name
            name = f[i].contents.replace (/@/g, '');
            // place the image
            var placedObjects = f[i].insertionPoints[0].place (File (myFolder.fsName + '/' + name));
    // delete all @??@ codes
    app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
else{
   alert('Please open a document and try again.');

Hello, I have a couple of questions for you… How come you have strings in text frames… Would you not be better off using labels for this…? ( thats how I would do this ). Off the top of my head I think you will need to remove any text content from the frame to be able to change it's content type… only then will you be able to place a graphic… How are you associating your strings with the required image files… Do you have this in some extenal file Excel or FMP.

[JS][CS3] Selection Menu with images

I have no idea it this is possible, but I have written this code at the start of a script to select a function within the script:
myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Catalogue Selector"});
with(myDialog)
        with(dialogColumns.add())
          with(dialogRows.add())
               staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Select the required catalogue:"});
               myOptionButtons = radiobuttonGroups.add();
               with(myOptionButtons)
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"VW"});
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Peugeot"});
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"MG Rover"});
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"BMW Special"});
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Nissan HTML"});
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Nissan XLS"});
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"BMW (GB)"});
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"SEAT"});

                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Audi"});
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Fiat"});
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Ford"});
                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Ford LCV"});

                    radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Hyundai"});
myResult = myDialog.show();
and what I want to be able to do is add an image to each option.
Is this possible?
I am looking to work with CS3 only at the moment.
Cheers
Roy

Dear Roy Marshall
Please use the below code:
var myDialog= new Window(''dialog','Sample');
//Adding Buttons
myButton1 = myPanel.add('button', [380,13,75,25], 'Choose',{name:'button1'});
myButton2 = myPanel.add('button', [380,53,75,25], 'Choose',{name:'button2'});
myButton3 = myPanel.add('button', [380,93,75,25], 'Choose',{name:'button3'});
myCancel = myDialog.add('button', [500,120,100,25], 'Cancel',{name:'cancel'});
myImage = myDialog.add('image',[487,16,588,100],'/Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS3/Scripts/Scripts Panel/Images/xxx.png');
myCopyright = myDialog.add('statictext',[15,153,400,172],'©xxxxxxx Ltd 2009');
myButton1.onClick= function()
    alert("this is First");
myButton2.onClick= function()
    alert("this is Second Button");
myButton3.onClick= function()
    alert("this is Third Button");
myCancel.onClick= function()
    alert("Close the Menu");
     myDialog.close();
myDialog.show();
Use this Code!!
