[AS] How can I move an object, more specifically a block of text with Applescript?

I'm converting some old scripts Quark 8 that we usually use for paging on InDesign and I'm stuck on how to move one of my items.

It's the script WORKING in 8, Quark, that uses the command "origin".

set origin of limits of Ad_Box to {Position_Height Position_Width}


Is there a quick and easy way to do this in InDesign CS5? I searched Google and these forums and have had no luck.

I played a bit with the Set function limits geometric, but had no luck.

Thank you!

move Ad_Box to {Position_Height, Position_Width}

  • How can I move my library iPhoto for WD My Cloud?

    I have a MBP 2011 OSx 10.9.5 running with a 320 GB hard drive which is full (only 4.5 GB of free space remaining).  I'm not being updated lately b/c I don't have disk space to do so.  I have an iPhoto library 164GB I want to spend.  I backed up the iPhoto library on a WD My Passport without any problems.  I have a WD My Cloud 2 TB NAS.  I want to save my iPhoto on the NAS library so that whenever I want to access iPhoto I can't plug my DHM.  Or if I travel and you want to access my photos I don't have to carry the EHD with me.  Essentially, I want to use the NAS to accommodate my iPhoto library for access to daily and then use my passport EHD to perform manual backups on a regular basis, so I have a backup of the SIN.  My question... How can I move my iPhoto library to the NAS and it work to use the SIN as the point of main access for my photos?  Thank you.

    Short answer: you don't have. It is not a supported disc format and you risk of major loss.

    Long answer: iPhoto must have the library sitting on drive to Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Users with the library sitting on disks formatted also regularly report matters including, but not limited to, import, export, save the changes and photo sharing.

    See this article

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/TS5168

    to learn more. Also note the comment:

    "In addition, store the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or loss of data."

    This is doubly true in the case of wireless connections: If you try to change the library (i.e. make albums, move pictures around, keyword, brand books or slide shows etc.) or edit individual photos in it wireless be very cautious. Dropouts are a common reality of wireless network, and does it happen while the app is written to the database, then your library will be damaged. Simply, I wouldn't do this with my libraries.

    If disk space is a problem, and it is very definitely for you:

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

    1. quit iPhoto

    2 copy the iPhoto library to your folder on the external drive.

    3 hold down the option (or alt) key when launching iPhoto. In the menu that appears, select "Choose Library" and navigate to the new location. From there it will be the default location of your library.

    4 test the library, and when you are sure that all is well, trash on your HD internal for free space.

  • How can I move movies from my iPhone to icloud

    How can I move movies from my iPhone to my iCloud?

    Can be a little more specific?

    Are you talking about real movies or videos you have taken?

    Where in the cloud you are trying to store?

    Bought films are already "in the clouds" as far as being always accessible - once bought, you should always be able to redownload them.

    Videos taken can be stored in iCloud photo library, but the library of Photo is not really designed to be a permanent storage solution.

    You could potentially upload videos on iCloud drive, but there is a limit to the size that can be downloaded.

    I have a computer that I needed an extra hard drive with a lot more memory that I had on this subject.  I had Windows XP Home Edition on it and was very satisfied with the system.  I came back from the computer repair store and my old hard drive was drive G, with all the old data still on it and a (used) and more C drive was in the unit and it's now my boot drive and I not paid no attention to it, he soiled by Windows XP Professional with service pack two.  I really did not notice the difference and I started to put several other new programs that I need on this computer and I went to work.  After over a long period, I now had a notice that it wasn't a valid Windows product.  I wondered of course that with Microsoft, because I had all my documents, my records, (now lost) and the key that was on the side of my computer.

  • How can I MOVE buttons on taskbar to a new location without having to close all programs and resume in the order I want?

    I like to keep the buttons in my taskbar has organized with the browser and messaging on the left, followed by Windows Explorer and other items. If they get out of order or programs are loaded into a different order, how can I MOVE the buttons to a new location without having to close all programs and resume in the order I want? In addition, sometimes, one of program buttons seems in itself to migrate out of place and I need to get back to where it should be: same problem.

    Hi shohareZohre

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

    The task bar is the horizontal bar at the bottom of your screen time. In contrast to the office, which can get obscured by the windows on top of it, the taskbar are visible nearly all the time. It includes four main sections:

    ·         The Start button, which opens the start menu.

    ·         The Quick Launch bar, which allows you to start programs with a single click.

    ·         The middle section, which shows you what programs and documents you have open and allows you to quickly switch between them.

    ·         The notification area, which includes a clock and icons (small pictures) that communicate the status of certain programs and computer settings.

    Add or remove programs on the Quick Launch toolbar

    The Quick Launch toolbar is located on the task bar and is a convenient way to open programs. You can add or remove program icons in the Quick Launch toolbar so that you have easy access to the programs that you use frequently.

    To add a program icon to the Quick Launch toolbar

    Click the icon for the program to add (you can find most icons of programs on the start menu or the desktop) and then drag it to the Quick Launch toolbar.

    Note: If you don't see the toolbar tools quick launch, right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, click Toolbars, and then click quick launch.

     

    To remove a program to the Quick Launch toolbar icon

    Right-click on the icon of the program and then click Remove.

    Notes: ·         Delete an icon from the taskbar does not remove its corresponding computer program.

    ·         If you want to stop showing a toolbar on the taskbar, right-click an empty area of the taskbar, point to toolbars, and then click the item that you want to stop broadcasting.

    NOTE: The ability to move the programs in the taskbar is not possible in windows Vista but the same functionality is available in Windows 7. Please see the link below.

    Hello Rebecca,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, you need to organize and move the shortcuts to Web sites into folders on the system.

    Certainly, I understand your concern.

    I suggest you try the following steps to create a folder on the desktop.

    1. Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, and then clicking Show Desktop.
    2. Right-click in an open space on your desktop, click new, and then click folder.
    3. Type a name for the folder, and then press enter to complete the creation of your new folder on the desktop.
    4. You can move the folder to the desktop by clicking on the folder, and then drag it to the desired location.
    5. You can also rename a folder by right-clicking the folder, and then clicking Rename.

    Note: Once the folder is created, you can simply drag and drop shortcuts from the site on this particular issue.

  • How can I move a subfolder in the Windows 7 'tree '?

    Hello:

    I am trying to move a folder between two folders in the libraries 'tree '.

    This time when Win 7 open office, an icon of libraries is in the task bar which is very convenient because I spend a lot of my time using these folders in the library.  They are archives, workshop Bible, Documents, music, photos and videos.  (As experienced users can see I've added an extra folder to the range.)

    By clicking on the icon of libraries, a window opens with all 'tree' on the left side of the window.

    On the right side are only icons that have to do with libraries folder.
    In 'the tree' on the left side of the window are two folders listed that I'm interested in changing.
    They are workshop Bible and Documents are located one above the other.
    For now, the record of the workshop of the Bible is MT
    The Documents folder contains about 20 or so files and folders, the number I need to change.
    How can I move one of the files in the Documents in the folder of the workshop just Bible above?
    By clicking on the folder of the workshop of the Bible with my mouse pointer I get the following messages:

    Workshop of the Bible is MT
    No records have been included in this library.
    Include a folder

    By clicking "Include a folder", Win 7 comes with a selection of folder that does not include the folder and files interested in moving from the workshop of the Bible.

    Not knowing how the Win 7 database is setup, I have to ask questions in forums like this one in my attempt to change Win 7 in a way that seems more logical to me and would be easier to use.
    Any help in how I could achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

    One thing to know when arranging with them, is that libraries and folders are very different from each other, even if they look like.

    Libraries are really best described as search results.  In fact prior to Windows 7, Windows Vista has called these "the search folders.  What they are is basically a way to combine files from multiple locations in a single view combined the results of research.  For example, my 'Vidéo' library contains several files:

    • My own video file on my PC
    • Folder of my movies on my external USB hard drive
    • Record videos of my roommate (via network)
    • Video folder on my other computer (via network)

    By having all these "included in" my video library, I see all of the movies available for me combined in a single view (a view of the library).  Files remain stored in their original location, the just library research in these places and shows me the results.

    The reason why you would have different types of libraries is to customize their appearance at a time.  For example your movies can show large thumbnails icons, ordered by year of release.  Your document library you can use small icons with details such as the name of the author, in alphabetical order.

    So given all this, it would make sense that you can simply use a document library, and simply put the specialized types of documents like the Bible workshop in folders inside, rather than as a completely separate library.  But it is really totally to you.
