Text in Document Window DW MX

I have text that is styled using an external CSS file. The
display attribute is set to 'none' for this particular text yet it
is still being displayed in the document window causing problems
when authoring content. Any suggestions or settings I've
overlooked??

Let's see the HTML and the CSS, please.

How to center selected text in document window?

I'm using Word.select( SelectionOptions.REPLACE_WITH) to iterate through a list of words in a document. It would be handy if any off-screen selections could be automatically scrolled into the document window, as with Find/Change. Is there any way to script this?
Thanks in advance --
Steve

Curiously enough, there doesn't seem to be one specific function for that (which may explain the erratic way InDesign sometimes does this). I can't remember off-hand where I saw this trick, but the following works a treat:
app.layoutWindows[0].zoomPercentage = app.layoutWindows[0].zoomPercentage;
-- right after your select line.

How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word.

How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word in the document. I am teacher. So for example when a student came to word he/she did not know, if he/she hovered the cursor over the word, a defintion or other information would appear. You can do this in Word using bookmarks/hyperlinks but I can't figure this out in Pages. I can link it to another point in my Pages document but I just need the text to pop up - not take the reader to another location. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Have you tried Word for Mac?
You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf

"Text Import Options" window when opening .ai file, and then blank document

Hi everyone,
My computer went into blue screen crash in the midst of a file save and after restarting, when I tired to reopen the file that I was working it, it just kept showing the "Text Import Options" window, and then blank. I was already working on the file prior, and have saved it successfully many times and opened it without fail. The file is also about 27mb, which leads me to believe (hope) that the content is still there and not entirely gone! ><
Searching google and this forum, I've tried the following on two laptops
1) EnableRecovery and the ctsl+shift+alt method, nothing happened, and no _ file generated
2) Placing the file in Illustrator -- got a blank image
3) Placing the file in InDesign -- InDesign crashes
4) Opening it in acrobat to save as .eps -- unable to open in acrobat and "it is not a valid file" .
Has anyone managed to successfully resolve this problem before? The threads that I have read so far do not seem to have any conclusive solutions or even reasons for this error to have occurred.
Please let me know if there's any way to salvage the file! I will greatly appreciate not having to redo 16hours of work and redesigning about 40+ artboard )~~:
Thank you very much!

How's the file size?

How do you highlight text in document in Pages

How do you highlight text in document in Pages

but Pages is NOT a 3rd party app. it's an application that's programmed by apple. it's supposed to act something like Word in MS office, but that is not at all true.
choices for editing text, highlighting, et al., like what you find in MS Office Word, should be immediately available whenever you are inside of a Pages document, but that is not the case.
don't you wish that when you buy an apple app for apple/macs that is supposed to be like a windows something or another that it really is?

Drawing directly in the document window

Can anybody provide sample code showing the basics of drawing directly in the document window? I'm thinking of something along the lines of the measure tool (pardon the pun).
It looks like I'm supposed to use either the Annotator Suite or the Document View Suite to "invalidate" a rectangle in the document, followed by doing the actual drawing with the ADMDrawer Suite. But the documentation in this area is pretty sparse (for example GetDocumentViewInvalidRect and SetDocumentViewInvalidRect refer to a "fudged" invalid rect without explaining what that is) and I don't see anything in the Sample Code folder that explains this feature.
Are the little text annotations ("path" "anchor") that pop up when using Smart Guides done using this method?
Thanks,
John

(Sound of crickets chirping...)
Boy, this forum is awfully dead in comparison to the InDesign SDK forum. Is no one writing Illustrator plug-ins anymore?
But hey, I'll keep posting, if only for my own amusement, about my saga of writing a plug-in.
I figured out some of the annotation stuff, but I'm still puzzled by some things.
I started by simply trying to create a tool which would carry a 100x100 box around with it when moved on the screen -- no clicking or dragging yet -- much as the symbol sprayer, for example, has a nice circle (albeit of varying size) around it. I created the tool and added it as an annotator. When it receives a kSelectorAITrackToolCursor message, it simply captures the cursor location in a global and sets the PlatformCursor. When the tool receives a kCallerAIAnnotation message, I have this code:
extern AIErr toolAnnotate( AIAnnotatorMessage *message ) {
    AIErr error = kNoErr;
    error = sView->ArtworkPointToViewPoint( message->view, &g->cursorPoint, &g->cursorPointScreen );
    g->annoBoundsScreen.top = g->cursorPointScreen.v - 50;
    g->annoBoundsScreen.bottom = g->cursorPointScreen.v + 50;
    g->annoBoundsScreen.left = g->cursorPointScreen.h - 50;
    g->annoBoundsScreen.right = g->cursorPointScreen.h + 50;
    ADMDrawerRef dr = sADMDrawer->Create(message->port, &g->annoBoundsScreen, kADMPaletteFont);
    ASRect myRect;
    myRect.top = 0;
    myRect.bottom = 100;
    myRect.left = 0;
    myRect.right = 100;
    sADMDrawer->SetDrawMode( dr, kADMXORMode );
    sADMDrawer->SetADMColor( dr, kADMBlackColor );
    sADMDrawer->DrawRect( dr, &myRect );
    sADMDrawer->Destroy( dr );
    sAnnotator->InvalAnnotationRect ( message->view, &g->annoBoundsScreen );
This (should) convert the cursor location (in artwork coordinates) to screen coordinates, set the annotation boundaries based on this location, create the drawer reference, and draw the 100x100 rectangle within this reference. Finally, it invalidates this rectangle as per the Annotation suite documentation.
I fired up the tool in Illy 10 and saw a single box created down at the 0, 0 point on the page. No box followed the cursor. Hmm. I added an sADMBasic->Beep() to the annotation code and realized what was happening -- my tool was getting an annotation message when first selected, but none when it was merely moved around the screen.
After some futzing around I discovered that if I added a call to sView->SetDocumentViewInvalidDocumentRect in the TrackToolCursor code, I got an annotate message every time the mouse was moved! I captured the previous cursor position and invalidated the rectangle 50 points on all sides from it. and tried again. Success -- partially.
At this point, the cursor could be moved around with the box following it. It suffers, however, from the following bugs:
1) The SetDocumentViewInvalidDocumentRect is in artwork coordinates and so only works at 100% or greater. If I zoom out, my little box leaves trails all over the screen. In addition, if I zoom in, the cursor stutters noticeably -- I assume because Illustrator is forcing a redraw on large portions of the document. I think I can fix both these bugs by recalculating the SetDocumentViewInvalidDocumentRect into screen coordinates. However I note that the circle of the symbol sprayer can be made huge -- as large as the screen -- and it still moves smoothly. So maybe calling sView->SetDocumentViewInvalidDocumentRect is not the way to force annotations. But I haven't been able to discover another way.
2) When the mouse moves into a palette, the square remains "hung up" at the last position where the cursor was in the document window. I think I can fix this by utilizing the Suspend and Resume notifiers and doing one last InvalAnnotationRect when I get the Suspend notification.
3) For fun I tried clicking and dragging. Bad news. If I do this, thereafter the entire Illustrator window only redraws iself in the small rectangle that was set when I created the drawer port. By chance I found that if I use another tool that annotates such as the pencil *before* I use my tool, then everything is fine (although of course the box doesn't follow the cursor around anymore because my toolMouseDrag code is empty). How is using a previous tool "fixing" my code? I don't understand this one at all.
Anyway, I suppose I could fork over a wad of cash and join the ADN and purchase a support case -- but hey, I'm just a hobbyist messing around at this point and facing some rather crappy documentation. Any tips will be much appreciated.

1.         I have a security app on my computer, Flashbrief. I have it checked in the hide column but whenever I turn on the computerit appears in the top menu line.
I've never heard of this software, and cannot find any reference to it online, which is a bit concerning. What is it supposed to do? There really isn't much need for security software on a Mac.
2.         Whenever Iturn on the computer, a new blank document window in MS Word 2011 appears. I do not have this listed in the login items.
In Mac OS X 10.7, any applications left open when you shut down or restart are re-opened at startup, and any documents left open in an app when you quit are re-opened when you launch them again. The former can be controlled by unchecking the box in the restart/shutdown alert:
You will need to do this each time you shut down or restart, it won't remember that setting.
The latter can be deactivated by unchecking the box in System Preferences -> General:
3.         I have a current model of Apple wireless mouse. It keeps getting stuck in text or e-mails and I have to somehowotherwise move the cursor to break it free.
That does not sound normal, but I don't use a mouse with my MBP, so I can't provide a solution, other than to try replacing the batteries in the mouse.

Document Window display is goofy

Dreamweaver 8, Mac OS X 10.4.8 Yesterday my web pages looked
great in Dreamweaver and in several browsers. This morning I opened
up Dreamweaver and viewed my pages and the graphics were jumbled
all around and the table outline guide is no where to been seen.
The text is also not visible. When I preview the pages in a
browser, they look fine! How can I get the display in the Document
Window to look normal again? Thank You for any ideas, help or
suggestions!

Thanks for that. I have learn't a bit more about the OS, but I still cannot get the help or safari displaying correctly, yet firefox does it fine.
For your info, I had none of the items that site said to delete from the help preferences, except for the itunes helpstart file.
Any other suggestions. I don't want to do a re install if I don't have to - I lost enough data last time.

Shortcut for activating editor when one selects something in document window?

Hello to the people who know Dreamw. a bit better then me....
I just try to find a trick that maybe anyone knows out here?
When you select some text in the document window, you see the
cursor at that place in the code-editor. Is there a shorthand to
activate the editor at that point? Now i have to click in the
editor if i decide to work directly in the code. It could be
usefull: searching and locating in the document window and then
with a shortcut continuing to write in the editor.
Thanks for any help

I just click on the 'thumb' in the scrollbar for code
view....

Scroll the document window to a specified graphic object

Hi,
anyone knows a way to scroll the document window to a specified graphic object?
I've tried with F_ApiScrollToText() function, but it works only with object containing text, and a graphic object ( like a line) doesn't contain text...
Thanks in advance.

Hi Stemen82,
I have dealt with this in the past and found it to be a bit complex. I've pasted below the functions I came up with to do it. Note that:
- I'm not sure that it works in all cases. Because there is no direct FDK function to do this, you really have to monkey around with things to get it done.
- The code I've pasted should handle both anchored frames and graphic objects, including "floating" graphics. Anchored frames are actually a bit more straightforward because you can get the text location of the anchor.
- All the comments in the code are "notes to self." That is, I didn't write them for you However, they should be of some use to you.
- There may be plenty of other, better ways to do this... this is just what I slapped together to get the basic functionality to work.

InDesign document window blinking!

Document window keeps blinking interrupting workflow. Thought it was a CC 2014 bug but I went back to ID CC and it started again. It's driving me crazy. The border of the window blinks and causes a hesitation in whatever you're trying to do. I can't work this way. Ready to toss the computer!!!

My IndDesign CC 2014 is doing exactly the same thing. Intermittent — almost rhythmic — blinking of the document window frame coinciding with a deactivation of whatever I'm trying to do when it happens. For instance, I try to select a font, so I click open the font menu and get ready to click on the desired font when suddenly the document window blinks and the font menu closes. Or, say I'm creating a text box. I select the text tool, click and hold at the top left corner and begin dragging to the bottom left corner. Then, the document window blinks again and the box I'm trying to create disappears. I've tried trashing preference and saved data, clearing the InDesign cache, and shutting down Suitcase Fusion 5. None of it has helped. Filing a report now.

Hide document window and set progress bar window in front...

Hi everyone,
We have created the batch script to generate artlink reports from multiple inx files and writing it into a text file.
Our script will open each document from the selected folder and generating the art link reports. From starting to end of the process the progress bar window will takes place to show the status of the process. The concern is, the progress bar window has been sent to back after opening of each document. Is it possbile to minimize the documents window, so the progress bar window alone displayed in the screen as front most window.
Can anyone look into this and help me out. Thanks in advance.

Applescript freezes upon first run when getting 'text of document 1 of application "Safari" '

I'm working on an applescript that searches the text of a Safari web page for specific text. The script freezes / hangs / times out ONLY during the "first run". By "first run" I mean the first time the script is run after a period of time has passed. If the script is run a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time, etc soon thereafter it works perfectly. If you then wait an extended period of time again, the script freezes exactly as if it were a "first run". This appears to be independent of whether Safari is open or closed, i.e. the script freezes even if Safari remains open between the last working run and the "first run".
Details:
A web page is opened. I subsequently confirm the page is fully loaded with the following code set-up as a handler:
tell application "Safari"
     repeat with i from 1 to 15
     if (do JavaScript "document.readyState" in current tab of window 1) is "complete" then
                         exit repeat -- page loading is complete, exiting loop
     else
                         delay 1
     end if
     end repeat
     if i is greater than or equal to 15 then return false
     if i is less than 15 then return true
end tell
The Applescript event log confirms loading is complete and returns a value of true. I can see the page is fully loaded, and in testing it is fully functional. All is good.
I then search the text of the fully loaded web page for specific text. It is this next step where Applescript hangs, but ONLY on the "first run":
set searchTerm to "find this"
if text of document 1 of application "Safari" contains (searchTerm as string) then
     -- do stuff
end if
The event log shows that applescript starts to "get every text of document 1" and even returns the initial text of the web page but hangs. Applescrpt returns the following error: "Safari got an error: AppleEvent timed out. Error -1712". If I rerun the script at this point the full text of the web page is immediately displayed in the event log, and the script continues succesfully to the end. The "IF" statement is not the issue per se because I get the same error if I remove the IF and instead set a variable to the value of 'text of document 1 of application "Safari".
Bottom line - Applescript seems to hang while returning the text of the fully loaded web page, but ONLY on "first run". Any ideas?
Note: I've run this directly as an applescript and as a service via Automator. Same result. I also tried putting the computer to sleep briefly, wake and rerunning the script. This does not repeoduce the problem so while extended gaps in use cuases the problem, it does not appear that going to sleep during this time is sufficient to cause the issue.

Thank you twtwtw, very helpful!
I tried fiddling around with the name of the input variable(s): $@, $0, and $1, and although I could get it to work somewhat, the hangup was always on high ASCII characters like …, —, °, etc… (They were called “high ASCII” in the old days, perhaps they are called something else now.)
Checking the long list of output encodings via iconv --list, and trying a bunch of them didn’t work for me.
But the real trick that worked for me was to do as you said and to change the “Pass input” menu to “to stdin.”
However, using -t ASCII was suboptimal for high ASCII, so I changed it to -t UTF-8-MAC and it works perfectly now, all the wild international characters and punctuation are maintained! Hooray! However, upon further testing, removing the pipe to iconv, it seems it’s not needed.
So this is the final command:
awk 'BEGIN{print "<ul>"} {print"<li>"$0"</li>"} END{print "</ul>"}'
So for now this is the whole recipe to create Contextual Menu Items for the Services menu that replaces text snippets with HTML code surrounding them.
1. Create a new Automator Service document.
2. Check the box “Output replaces selected text.”
3. Choose Actions, under Library choose Utilities, then drag Run Shell Script to the working area of the window.
4. Set the Pass input menu to “to stdin.”
5. Paste in the command (above).
6. Save it; I prefix my HTML CMIs with HTML (space space), so this one is, “HTML unordered list.”
7. Begin using it. :-)
Since it took me a while to cobble together the other ones I made, I should probably share them. Once I get the time to bring over the other “involved” ones I’ll see if I can find out where is the best place to do that.
Thank you both, red_menace, and twtwtw for your help!

Can Spotlight search for text inside documents?

I just lost a vital email -- detailed instructions for something I want to do, from a friend. And I don't know where I put it (overlapping possibilities exist within my filing structure).
SHHHH: Windows used to let me search for specific text, inside documents, not just file or folder titles. Can I do that in OSX.8.2?

Use the Find command or its shortcut:

Is it possible to make the document window not to hide behind the palettes?

Is it possible to make the document window not to hide behind the palettes (layers, paths etc) like in CS5? For instance if I want to make a correction in the right part of the image and zoom in, the window expand under the different palettes and I can no longer see the area which I want to correct without change the document window size. I don't want to use the Photoshop application fram because then I can't see stuff in other applications ID, mail an so on.

I have written about how to control various font sizes in Thunderbird here:
http://www.ramsden.org.uk/9_Type_sizes.html
Generally, you shouldn't need to zoom; you can pre-set the display of message text.
To get straight to the point, you should probably try the https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ add-on to address issues with the size of the message list font.
