There doesn't seem to be 'symbol and text substitution' on yosemite, i.e. cannot shorten 1/2 or 1/4 as in pages 09

Has anyone found 'symbol and text substitution' on Pages 5 please?  On Pages 09 you could change the style of fractions i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 2/3 etc.  Thanks

Text Substitution has moved out of the applications and into System Preferences > Keyboard Text. Fractions that are not present can be constructed from the special characters panel (Edit ▸ Special Characters…). Search on the word fraction.
If you want to roll your own, then choose the gear selector in the upper left corner of the special characters toolbar, and customize list… . Choose Digits - All. Once Digits - All appears in your left category panel, select it, and then scroll down to the fraction components. These are the small numbers before and after the forward slash. Double-click to place in the With category of the Keyboard Text window.

  • Symbol and Text Substitution

    What applications are the Symbol and Text substitutions supposed to work in? Mine don't seem to work in any. Neither the original default ones now ones I have created myself work in a web browser, Mail, Word, etc.
    Any help to get them working would be appreciated.

    I just played with it a little bit before responding to this post.
    MS Excel 2008 it appears that only the copyright and registered symbol worked as listed in the 'Language & Test' preference. The trademark symbol is listed as only typing 'TM' (w/o quotes), however in Excel it required the () to work. Non of the fractions worked.
    In MS Word 2008 everything was the same except the fractions also worked.
    I couldn't get any of the 'custom' ones to function, like type !@ and get Hello.
    I then went to Textedit, and everything worked including the ones I created.
    So it looks like it is hit and miss as to what will work and what won't.

  • Symbol and Text Substitution not working correctly

    Hello,
    in „Language & Text“ I have the following symbol and text substitutions enabled, which aren’t working in Pages version 5.1.1 (iMac 2011, Yosemite 10.10.1):
    „- - >“ (written without blank space between the characters) which should be substituted to „➜“.
    In Safari this works, but in Pages it isn’t working.
    Other substitutions work in Pages, for example:
    „! ! s s“ (written without blank space between characters) is substituted to „ẞ“ in Safari and Pages.
    Can somebody help me?

    In Pages v5.5.1 and Yosemite 10.10.1, I can reproduce the injected space issue resulting from your Keyboard > Text substitution for „-->” to „→” . Even if you remove one of the '-', Pages will still insert the space before the right arrow in the result. This is a bug.
    Fix: „..>” will produce the arrow without the injected space.

  • Storage place for Symbol and Text Substitution

  • Symbol and Text Substitution Settings File-

    Hi,
    I have two computers with Snow Leopard, and I've made a [large] list of substitutions on one computer. I'd really rather not spend my time manually copying them over from each computer. I've tried looking for a settings files to copy, but I can't find it. The one for words I've chosen to have OS X 'learn' is found in the 'Spelling' folder (~/Library), but I can't find substitutions.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks.

    Go to System Preferences...
    - Language & Text
    - - Text
    Symbol and Text Substitution
    Hit the '+' icon bottom right to add your own.
    Otherwise, you should perhaps look to a 3rd party app, such as TypeIt4Me:

    Be sure whatever you find is snow leopard compatible, of course.

    Yes, that's why I recommend one have more than TimeMachine as a backup because if certain files or folders are corrupted on the TM drive, your not logging into your migrated user account or not be able to transfer it what so ever.
    Then it's a REAL PAIN and costs $99 to bit read the TM drive to get the files out, then it's mess to go through and sort all the empty placeholders from the real files as TM doesn't save duplicates in each state, just uses the previous state's copy if there are no changes.
    If you create the same named user account on the new machine, and simply transfer files via a USB thumb drive and place say music contents into the Music folder, then it will work too.
    Look into making clones of your boot drive, the benefit here is it's bootable, you can access the drive directly to pick and choose files, run the computer just like before etc.

  • My txt message settings recently changed to send txts from my Mac email rather than my phone# and there doesn't seem to be a way to change the settings back. The phone# in receive at screen is under intensified so unselectable. Any suggestions?

    My txt message settings recently changed to send txts from my Mac email rather than my phone# and there doesn't seem to be a way to change the settings back. The phone# in receive at screen is under intensified so unselectable. Any suggestions?

    After reading what you have posted, I checked my iPhone 4S. When looking at messages in settings, my receive at has 2 addresses, my phone number and my Apple ID email address. The phone number is "under intensified" as you describe it. Checking the Caller ID, it shows my phone number and Apple ID email. The phone number is checked. This all seems to be the same as you describe yours. My text messages are all working as they always have, and they are showing as coming from my phone number. Both to people that I iMessage with and people that I can only text with. I'm not sure why you say texts are being sent from your Mac email. Did someone receive a text that shows the email as the return address?

  • Where can I find, unplugged / acoustic music in it tunes? There doesn't seem to be very much available.

    Where can I find, unplugged / acoustic music in it tunes? There doesn't seem to be very much available.

    What's available is what the record companies and artists have licensed Apple to sell in your country. There is no genre for "acoustic" or "unplugged", though, so what is there may be a bit tricky to find. You can try doing a Power Search with "unplugged" or "acoustic" in the album title field, but that will of course only find those albums which have those words actually in the title. Otherwise, you may have to look for album titles for acoustic music on some other site and then look for the specific album in the iTunes Store.

    Is there a batch process that runs in the evening? Perhaps that ends up cleaning out the data from the buffer cache, turning logical I/O's into physical I/O's early in the morning.
    Can you check the statistics on the table before the process starts and after you re-gather statistics? Perhaps there is a nightly process that is altering the statistics at an unfortunate time or in an unfortunate way.
    The previous poster's comment about getting a trace file is excellent as well-- whatever your session is waiting on will be apparent in the trace.

  • Having problems adding contacts to my ipod classic, itunes help says to click on the "info" button.  But there doesn't seem to be an "info" button in my itunes under my ipod

    I am wanting to add contacts to my ipod classic 160gb, the intunes help says to click on the "info" button on my device, but there doesn't seem to be an "info" button there.  I have tried restoring my ipod as well, twice now.  But doesn't work.  Any ideas?

    'Info' is along the top of the iTunes window when you have the iPod attached and selected.
    When info is selected you will find the option you want.
    Best.

    how do you turn off the apple TV box?  There doesn't seem to be an off button.  The status light stays on.

    Usually, when you put it to sleep mode, the status light will turn off.  To put it into sleep mode, go to Settings.
    If you want it completely off, then I guess the only way to do it is to pull the electric plug.
