Selecting text in Numbers 3.0

When typing text in a cell in Numbers 2.0 after typing the first letter a window would open showing other entries in the same column that started with the same letter and I could copy and paste a selection into the new cell. This function has disappeared in Numbers 3.0. Any suggestions how to resurrect it?

KP,
Going back to Version 2.3 is the only true remedy, I think.

  • Pages, Numbers & Keynote freeze selecting text only when wifi or cellular are on

    Hello, I have iPad Air iOS 7.1, Pages, Numbers and Keynote 2.2. When I select text into a document of these apps don't respond during 2-5 second. Then I can see magnifier mini image freeze till popup menu emerge. This problem doesn't happen in other app like Notes, Safari and even in search option into iWorks app. Besides, when I select the whole paragraph, and magnifier doesn't emerge, it doesn't happen. Therefore, it seems the problem is magnifier animation, but only in iWork apps AND WIFI OR CELLULAR CONNECTION ARE ON. It is very annoying. I have this fail since I acquired iPad Air despite updates. I have reboot the device and restore it too. Then freeze time reduces but step by step using the device a few hours, the time increase. ONLY DISAPPEAR WHEN WIFI AND CELLULAR CONNECTION ARE OFF.
    Please, could you check it in your devices in order to verify if the problem is these app programming and Apple must update them or it is my device and I have to request its exchange.
    Technical support are been a bit slow confirming it at the same conditions,
    - same device - I think that differences about cellular capability or capacity shouldn't be important
    - same configuration - wifi and cellular off (then without freeze)/wifi or cellular on (then with freeze of several seconds)
    Thanks.

    I already receive the technical support answer about this issue, they have tried on selecting text in iWork app within a few iPad Air alternating between wifi turn on and off and they haven't appreciated freezes in no case.
    Then it seems that the problem is not related with iWork app but how the device works. However, before to apply for the exchange of it for other, I have pending the following proofs,
    - Restoring again the device, install only iWork app without restore backup and try on how it works turning on/off wifi and cellular connections in a new document. If that test fail would indicate the device is broken-down, if it works well would indicate the backup is the problem.
    - All the same, it could be other odder explanation, that is the freeze depends on the speed that the connection runs -technical support could has tried on it in fast one and mine is slower. This would be a bad news because would indicate that iWorks app finally are wrong programming - I remember that this fail not happen in other app- or worse, iWorks app could send information by selecting text - I don't know for what and toward where. I know that is a bit paranoid, therefore I hope I haven't to try it on. Besides, it only occur when magnifier appears as a consequence it is a rare interaction between graphics magnifier animation and connections behavior that point out the hardware is guilty, but why only in iWorks app!
    I hope I find definitely a solution soon because I have already lost a lot of time. I will expose my conclusions.

  • How to replace text in selected cells in Numbers 3?

    I want to replace a few words in Numbers 3, but I can't find where I can limit the replacement within chosen cells.
    In previous version, there was a drop down list I can choose to limit the replacement to chosen cells or current sheet.
    But now when I use replace all, it will replace all words in all sheets.
    Anyone knows how to do it?
    Thanks!
    Allan

    The Find Replace in Selection Automator Service (Dropbox download) can do what you want.
    To install, double-click the .workflow package and, if necessary, click 'Open Anyway' in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    To use, make your selection in a table, then choose Find Replace in Selection from the Numbers > Services menu.

  • Problem with focus and selecting text in jtextfield

    I have problem with jtexfield. I know that solution will be very simple but I can't figure it out.
    This is simplified version of situation:
    I have a jframe, jtextfield and jbutton. User can put numbers (0-10000) separated with commas to textfield and save those numbers by pressing jbutton.
    When jbutton is pressed I have a validator which checks that jtextfield contains only numbers and commas. If validator sees that there are invalid characters, a messagebox is launched which tells to user whats wrong.
    Now comes the tricky part.
    When user presses ok from messagebox, jtextfield should select the character which validator said was invalid so that user can replace it by pressing a number or comma.
    I have the invalid character, but how can you get the focus to jtextfield and select only the character which was invalid?
    I tried requestFocus(), but it selected whole text in jtextfield and after that command I couldn't set selected text. I tried with commands setSelectionStart(int), setSelectionEnd(int) and select(int,int).
    Then I tried to use Caret and select text with that. It selected the character I wanted, but the focus wasn't really there because it didn't have keyFocus (or something like that).
    Is there a simple way of doing this?

    textField.requestFocusInWindow();
    textField.select(...);The above should work, although read the API on the select(...) method for the newer recommended approach on how to do selection.
    If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
    see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
    that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
    Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
    see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
    so the posted code retains its original formatting.

  • How can I make a fillable table that allows me to select text in bulk yet retains tab over ability?

    I'm working on a form in livecycle and am trying to make a form which is easy for my client to fill out and easy for me to extract the data from.
    Basically I am desiging a form that my clent fills out by entering data into 4 X 3 table (four rows, three columns).  In this form they will put names in the first column,  countries in the second column, and account numbers in the third coloumn.
    While this is not too hard to do, what I would really like to do is make it so that when I extract this data from the form I can easily select all the names in the first column at once, all the countries listed in column two at once, and then the same for column three. I'm placing this data into a word file for use in a mail merge table, so it just streamlines it all if I can highlight everything in one column at once rather than having to select every name/country/account number separately. (And before I get criticized for being lazy, haha, I will be duplicating this 4X3 table at least 7-8 times, as each table will have information specific to other criteria in the form.)
    I've realized that Adobe doesn't seem to let me bulk select text in multiple text boxes, yet because I'm working with a table I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing that would allow me to do this, or perhaps there's even another better way to do this job.
    Thank you for your help and I apologize if this is a bit confusing!

    You may have already gotten an answer for this since it was a bit ago, but if you have Adobe Acrobat Pro you can save all of your forms you collect into one folder, saved with individual file names so they will not over-write one another and then in Acrobat click Forms>Manage Form Data>Merge Data Files into Spreadsheets. It walks you through it from there and you can Select All of your saved files and it will generate the spreadsheet for you and you can do what you wish in Excel. Hope this helps!

  • How do i print selected cells in numbers?

    how do i print selected cells in numbers?

    As I'm lazy, I use this script and paste where I want.
    --{code}
    set the clipboard to (the clipboard as «class PDF »)
    --{code}
    I  made a test which gave a funny result.
    Given a Numbers document with a chart.
    I selected the chart, the title and the legends
    then I grouped these objects.
    Select all
    copy
    run the script
    I pasted in the sheet to be able to take a screenshot.
    It's a bit inconsistent.
    Text values are passed when they are in cells
    They are passed when they are used as value labels in the chart
    but they aren't passed when they are chart's title or legend's components.
    Funny behavior, the graphic symbols are moved in the process to the location where they would be if the text components were nil strings.
    No comment upon a table's title which can't be selected with the table itself.

  • How convert table to text in Numbers 3.5.

    Is it possible to convert a table to text in Numbers 3.5. If so, how? No mention of this feature in the Aid.

    select the cells of the table, copy
    create a new text item by inserting from the tool bar:
    double click the text item so you see the "I" beam cursor, paste
    Will look like this after paste:
    you can also paste directly into an email or a text document (maybe a new Text Edit document)

  • Speed up adding URL hyperlinks to bullets/selected text

    Hi, I'm doing a presentation that requires linking a huge amount of the bullet text to different sites. I was hoping to create some sort of macro that told Keynote to add the URL of the current active window in Safari to the selected text, but Automator can't do it and I don't know of any other way to create a macro (I'm new to the Mac world).
    At the moment, after go to the site I want to link to, switch to Keynote, highlight the desired text and open the Hyperlink inspector window:
    1) Hyperlink inspector window defaults to Slide (vs. Webpage)
    2) After I click Enable Hyperlink and choose Webpage from the pulldown menu, the URL defaults to my home page URL.
    This means I have to go to Safari, highlight and copy the URL, switch back to Keynote, highlight the homepage URL, paste the correct URL (from the active Safari window), click Apple-end to get to the end of the URL and hit Enter in order to hyperlink the selected text.
    I know there has to be an easier way.
    At one point, I accidentally did something that dynamically changed the URL in Hyperlink inspector to the active URL on Safari, but I can't re-create it. That, at least, would be some help.
    Any suggestions for how to simplify/speed up/automate this cumbersome process would be GREATLY APPRECIATED, as I am slogging along using this inefficient approach while trying to meet a looming deadline.
    Thanks in advance!

    Maggie, how desperate are you for a quick solution? One approach might be to edit the Keynote XML text file directly, adding the bullets and hyperlinks as elements in that file rather than through Keynote proper. This approach is relatively straightforward, and it is very fast, but it does involve getting down-and-dirty with the XML, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. It's honestly not that daunting, though, and just involved doing very minor editing to a text file within TextEdit. I don't know if it would work well for your specific needs, and it involves a completely different workflow than working in Keynote directly, but it might be worth a shot. Here's how you would add a list of hyperlinked bullets to a single slide:
    - First, create a single slide with a bulleted list with a single item that has a hyperlink to a website. This will allow you to see what the XML looks like when we open the XML file. Use an unusual word or string of letters for the bullet item to make it easier to find in the XML code. Save this one slide presentation, and close it.
    - In the Finder, hold down the Control key while clicking once on the presentation file. This will bring up the contextual menu. Choose "Show Package Contents". This will open a new Finder window that shows you the "guts" of the Keynote presentation, which is actually a collection of files.
    - Double click on the "index.apxl.gz" file. This is the file that holds the XML markup for the presentation. It is stored in compressed form, but when you double-click it, a new file, "index.apxl", will be created. This is a plain text file, editable with TextEdit, and it is the file you will modify. Delete the "index.apxl.gz" file, as it isn't needed now, and Keynote will automagically re-compress the "index.apxl" file when we open the presentation.
    - Open the "index.apxl" file in TextEdit (or whatever other text editor you like). You will see a mess of XML, without any real formatting. That's OK though, because you only need to edit a small bit of this file, and you will use the unusual word in the bullets you created as a search guide.
    - Find the unusual word in the text. This word is embedded in the XML code that specifies the bullet on the slide. This is the code that you will need to edit.
    The code that specifies a hyperlinked bullet will look something like this:
    <sf:p sf:style="SFWPParagraphStyle-263" sf:list-level="1"><sf:link href="http://www.apple.com/"><sf:span sf:style="SFWPCharacterStyle-38">Test1</sf:span></sf:link><sf:br/></sf:p>
    (The numbers of the "ParagraphStyle" and "CharacterStyle" may be different depending on the theme you used.)
    If you look at this snippet, you can see that there is a URL in the <sf:link> tag -- that's the hyperlink for the bullet text. You can also see that there is some text (in this case, "Test1") wedged between the <sf:span> and </sf:span> tags -- that's the text that appears on the slide, and in your file it will be the unusual text that you searched for in the file.
    Now, the cool thing is that, if you change this URL and this bullet text in the XML file and save it (having previously deleted the "index.apxl.gz" file), you will have changed the bullet text and hyperlink in the actual presentation. The much cooler thing is that you can add bullets to a slide by simply pasting multiple copies of the above code template into the XML file -- just make sure that you copy the entire bullet template (from <sf:p to </sf:p>), and that you paste it directly after another </sf:p> tag. (Be sure to use the template from your XML file, since the ParagraphStyle and CharacterStyle numbers will be different.)
    What this means is that the task that formerly involved going back and forth in the Keynote interface now just involves editing a text file. In the case of your task, for example, what you could do is create a second TextEdit window, paste the bullet code template into it several times, and then just drag and drop the URLs you want into the various address spots of the templates. You can also edit the bullet text directly in the templates. Once you're done, you can simply copy the whole batch of text and paste it into the appropriate spot in the "index.apxl" XML file, and you're done.
    Also, because this is now a text editing task rather than a Keynote task, you can potentially take advantage of applications that automate text editing to generate the bullet XML for you. For example, you could just create a list of the URLs, and then use the macro capabilities of Word, or (my favourite) NisusWriter, to go through the list and populate the addresses in the bullet templates. The possibilities are quite wide open with this approach.
    This is just how to do one slide, but multiple slides are just as straightforward -- simply start by creating a presention where each slide has one bullet point, with unique text in each bullet. Then you can easily find the section of XML code for the bullet of each slide, and edit accordingly.
    This may seem like a hugely involved and roundabout way of doing this task, but it works, and by making it a text editing task, it can make it far easier.

  • Can no longer select text in email template or read only field with mouse using IE or Firefox?

    Hi Guys,
    I can no longer select text in email template or read only field using my mouse in IE or Firefox anymore. We are using CRM 2011 rollup 18 applied with IE 11 and the latest version of Firefox. We only applied roll up 18 in Feb when this issue began.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
    If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
    To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any change?

  • Select text from all_views returns an empty string

    My application allows the user to select between the Data Provider for ODBC and the Data Provider for Oracle. (ODP)
    When using the ODBC provider the statement:
    Select text from all_views where view_name='MYVIEW'
    returns the expected string.
    If I connect via ODP however it returns an empty string.
    (If I use 'Select *' it tells me the text_length is 154 in this specific case - so there is definately text available.)
    I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that the data type is LONG.
    In both cases I retreive the data using rdr.GetChars(), which should work.
    If I use the dbms_metadata.get_ddl function instead, it does return the string (Probably because the return type is not LONG)
    Unfortunately that function only works for Views in the current schema, while the original Select works for any view.
    (And I dont know what version of Oracle this function was added in - I have to support older versions too.)
    Similarly, if I use one of the XML functions to retreive the text as XML it works fine.
    (Again it is probably returned as a VARCHAR2 instead of a LONG.)
    The strange thing is that when I created my own table containing a LONG column I was able to load and retreive data without any problems.
    The problem appears to be specific to this column in all_views.
    Anyone know a solution to this?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Thanks that was it.
    I had not seen those properties since I am working with the 'generic' objects (DbCommand rather than OracleCommand, etc.)
    What is strange is that I was able to retreive data from my own LONG column WITHOUT setting this value to -1.
    (It defaulted to 0 in both cases.)
    The only difference was that when I retreived data from my own column I specified CommandBehaviour.SequentialAccess.
    When I retreived the all_views.text column I did not specify a behaviour at all.
    However the Oracle docs said that SequentialAccess is not supported ... so I guess that is not correct.
    (Maybe it doesn't 'work', but it certainly seems to cause things to work differently)
    Thanks
    Mike

  • Print/Save Selected Text to PDF

    I want to use Mozilla Firefox very much for a long time. I like it because the UI is very clean, easy to use, the icon vey pretty. When I use in my Android Mobile, it is very easy and intelligent to select content of page site. Very good!
    But I had to install Chrome instead so I've always been using "Print a selected content to PDF" but I couldn't find ways to do that with Firefox. Chrome is doing very good.
    I searched all add-ons, pdf printer software but they are only saving or printing all the page (website) to PDF.
    Please help me the ways to save a selected content to PDF. Thanks very much.

    Hii hanh01001..
    I think i know one solution to the problem
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-selected-text/?src=api
    this is an add on that is used to print the selected text only..
    have a nice day :) :)

  • Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

    HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
    I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
    Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
    Thanks,

    In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
    if (dropdown1 == 1) then
    $.clearItems()
    $.setItems("Year, 2 Year,  3 Year")
    elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
    $.clearItems()
    $.setItems("3 Year,  4 Year")

  • How to select text from a webpage

    hi. i have firefox for my n900. i would like to know how to select some text from a webpage so i can copy and paste it. thanks for the help. i couldn't it anywhere.

    First tap where you want the selection to start. (It might help to zoom in as far as possible first. You can do this using the volume buttons in the newly-released Firefox 1.1rc1.) Then hold the Shift key while pressing the arrow keys on the N900 keyboard to select text.
    Note: We are aware that this is not a very user-friendly way to select text, and we hope to include a better design in a future version of mobile Firefox.

  • Get selected text from af:inputText

    Hi,
    I am using an <af:inputText> component, within which I would want to know if any text has been selected.
    InputText.getValue() would give me the total value that is there within the inputText component. But if I have selected a part of the text, I would like to get hold of that.
    Is there a way in ADF, to get that selected Text ?
    Thanks,
    Pawan.

    Hi,
    If I am to use javascript, can i directly use the IE/FF (browser-specific) code to get hold of the selected text ?
    The ADF javascript API doesn't seem to have a way to get the selected text.
    Thanks,

  • Why does my cursor not automatically select the entire word when I try to select text by starting/ending in the middle of a word?

    In any other browser I've used (or word processor, for that matter) when I select text using my mouse cursor, if I start and/or end in the middle of a word, it automatically selects the whole word when I'm selecting more than one word. But for some reason this is not happening in Firefox. If I try to select say 3 words, and I start in the middle of the first word and end in the middle of the last word, it will only select those parts, not all 3 words entirely.

    Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.
