What happened to Format Bar: "Dividing text into columns"

This function is in the manual under "Working with Text" but it does not appear in the Format Bar. What am I missing?

E. Seagull,
The Format Bar is a Contextual Menu. As you know, that means that it only shows the controls that pertain to the current situation. If you aren't working in a Text Box or Shape that might need to be divided into columns, the columns control will be available, otherwise it will not.
I hope that you referring to the way text winds itself from column to column, like in a newspaper, and not the entirely different concept of parsing a long string into multiple table cells. Numbers doesn't include a feature for that type of parsing.

Divide text into columns

I imported a tab delineated file into numbers and it put it into 1 column. The manual shows a menu bar Item "Divide text into columns" that doesn't appear on my tool bar. What now?

Mac,
Got it. Thanks for the explicit reference, that really helps.
I think the User Guide is a bit misleading there. The Guide is referring to the text in a Text Box and how you can format the box to display text in multiple columns, as in a newspaper page.
This feature doesn't parse your data into table columns, sorry. If you want to describe your data, we may be able to help with that.
It may be simple. Let's try the simple approach. If you Select and Copy the tab delimited data, then switch to a Numbers Table, click ONCE in a table cell and Command-V. Your data should spread across columns. If you click twice in a cell all your data will go into one column when you paste.

I cannot receive texts on my phone. They are coming into my iPad. What happened? I can send texts, but they are now green and not the blue color. ??

What happened to "Location" bar

What happened to the Location bar in 37.xx
Now I have that long, long Search bar. With the Location bar I could see the link of the site I was on. I could also sent that link to someone if I wanted to.
With every upgrade, things get more complicated.
Thanks.

To change this, click on the three-bars icon in the top right corner and choose "customize". You can then drag any part of firefox (including the location bar and search bar) to wherever you want. You should see the location bar in either the set of buttons on the left, or the menu on the right, and you can drag it into the top of the window.
If the location bar is there but short, you can change that as well. Click and drag on the space between the location and search bars to change the width of the two.
The article [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]] also has instructions on how to do this.

Convert/join multiple file formats (doc, pdf, text) into 1 single PDF/A using web services

We would like to purchase LiveCycle for the PDF Generator feature, but we want to know if it will meet our technical requirements.
We would like to convert a PDF, an HTML, a DOCX, and some custom text into 1 single PDF/A. Basically: joining 3 different files types and some text into 1 very long PDF/A file. Can we do this type of join?
Also, we would like to install LiveCycle on a central server and then call a web service or use an API where we can input the 3 different files and the text and as output we would get 1 PDF/A back. Obviously there might be intermediary steps, but in essence we need to be able to do this conversion from our custom code by calling some LiveCycle API.
Thanks!

You can use Assembler service with PDFGenerator. There is support for Web Service endpoints(SOAP). Please go through this for details : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/11.0/Overview/lc_overview_ds.pdf
Thanks,

Organising text into columns using CSS?

Hello again guys,
Another day another problem.
This community has been really friendly and helpful so far with what I'm sure must appear to many of you to be really simply problems, so I'm hoping that you can bear with me and help me out again!
Basically, I'm designing my page using CSS, and I've come to a part where I would like to have 3 columns of text, of a fixed width, with a fixed gap in between. Using my very limited knowledge and experience, I inputted the code that I thought would work, but whenever I go to enter more text, it doesn't jump to a new line when it reaches the maximum width of the column, it carries on on the same line and pushes the rest of the text across.
How do I sort this out?
I can't actually upload my site until Monday, but I've included some screen below which I hope will help.
Thanks again guys.

When I type some more, it doesn't stay in the column width:

The code that I thought would work:

Hi Murray,
Apologies. I had made a mistake. I've got it working now. Thank you.
Another tiny thing, if you check out this screen:
http://i54.tinypic.com/elcep.png
you can see that the line starts right near the top, and goes all the way down to the bottom.
Is there some way to amend the code that you gave me to adjust the height of the line? I tried adjusting the size of the image but that didn't seem to have an effect?
Ideally, I would like to line at the top of the 'T' of 'This is a news story', and finish at the bottom of the 'M' of 'More'. That height.
Something else which has confused me. I have that 'More' link aligned to the right, and in my design view in DW it is so aligned, but then when I preview the page, it jumps to the left hand side of each column. The alignment seems to disappear when the page is 'live'?
Thanks again for all of your help. You really are a star!

What is best format for simple text animation in iWeb?

I want to use a simple text animation "movie" in my site using iWeb. I don't want the controller visible -- and I want the animation to play automatically. I went to Inspector and checked for it to start automatically, but no effect. I still have to manually click on it. The mov file plays fine, but not automatically.
Second question: is mov the best file format for what I'm tryin to do? I admit to getting lost with all these formats/codecs.
Thanks.

Its not so much the movie format that matters as the way in which you decide to play it on your page.
Dragging a movie file onto the iWeb page requires that the visitor has the QuickTime plugin - which a lot of people don't. Flash is not the answer anymore due the fact that iOS devices don't support it unless you provide fallback to HTML5.
Here are some alternatives...

What happened to address bar in safari under Mountain lion

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday. Now, in safari, I no longer have an address bar. In customize toolbar, I see there is only the option to add/have 'search google or enter an address'. So have they combined this field? If so, in the old address bar field, there was a star to click on to add the page to our bookmarks, which opened the list and let us choose a folder. I no longer have that option.
Any help?
michelle

It is now a unified address and search bar. there is a + button in the Customize Toolbar in the View menu item. This will allow you to choose what folder to add your page.

What happened?? My mac turned into a PC

Hi - any insight would be appreciated.
Using my gorgeous computer all day,.. as usual... late last night started to watch a DVD...
Then the problem started... in the middle of loading DVD.... it suddenly froze..I could do nothing.. nothing responded... I closed the lid.. when I opened it the fans started, I could hear other strange sounds... but the screen was completely blank... I then heard some mail come through... but still the screen was completley blank..then battery was charging, I was plugged into the mains.. and then the green lights on the key board lit up.. but nothing on the screen. Then I tried to hold the power button down for about 10 seconds, then the computer closed down.. an anxious night, worrying about my beloved mac and all the info on for a big thing on Monday. This morning, switched it on.. and bam everything is as normal... except that this thing happened, will it happened again. My mac has never frozen, long gone are those PC nightmares ..or are they ??? Any insight, or explanation would be great. Thanks

Hi Jo,
Welcome to Apple discussions! Unfortunately, Macs are not miracle devices. They are manmade pieces of technology and as such, they're not immune to problems like you describe. I have had similar experiences on my Macs at one time or another.
The first thing to try is reloading the same DVD that caused the problem. See if it loads correctly this time. If not, try a different DVD and see if the problem persists.
If everything works fine, I would not worry too much. It's likely the event was a one time thing.

What movie file formats can be imported into iMovie?

Can you directly import .avi, mpeg or .mov files? What about a Quicktime movie file? Just trying to figure out which file format iMovie will accept. I have a movie that was edited on Adobe Premiere and want to make sure I export the movie in the correct format.
Thanks.

read Jon's reply in this thread ..
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1891778?start=0&tstart=0
keep in mind: avi nor mov are 'formats', just media wrappers = box of chocolate, you'lll never know ...
stay within normal video standards, such as 1080i or 720p, 25/29.97fps ... mov encoded with h264 should be fine.
and avoid fancy stuff such as surround, Dolby 5.1., 3D ........

What happens if some orange juice fell into my Macbook Air Keyboard???

Wat happens if some orange uice fell in my Macbook Air????

Omg that really ***** the first thing you shouldve done is turn it off, and dry it immedately. Then take it to the Apple Store and see what they say, or call and ask. There may or may not have been damage to your Macbook Air, but take it to make sure. Hope this helped! GOOD LUCK!

What happened to Ctl-E and text box properties?

Since installing Acrobaat X PRO, I can't format my text boxes, borders, fill or change fonts or add BOLD.

Be sure you are using the text edit tool or whatever the new name is. You should also be able to select the text and right click to get the properties.

Considering buying aperture. Have raw images processed in NIK NX2 software. What happens to those files when imported into Aperture?

Understand NiK is discontinuing Capture NX2. Therefore would like to buy Aperture as host for image management. If I do purchase and import RAW files previously processed in NX2 into Aperture. Is old processing retained? Doubtful. Or is new processing required? Have an iMac with iPhoto 10 etc.

Richard and Beverly wrote:

You can import the image files converted from RAW and edited by NX2 but they will no longer be RAW NEF files they will be non-lossy TIFF files or lossy JPEG.
Or you can import the original RAW NEF files into Aperture for Aperture to do the RAW conversion.
To my eyes/brain with the Nikon cameras I use (D2x, D100, D5100) I find that NX2 provides the most pleasing RAW conversions, but I still use Aperture for its great workflow.
